Congresswoman used language employed by income tax protesters. Is she open to joining forces? I reached out to Jasmine Crockett but have yet to get a response on this question.Todd Peterson The Dallas Express News dallasexpress.com/?p=182445

A Republican lawmaker in Texas was a paid consultant for a lobbyist group that represents public schools as he sat on an education committee. He later voted against a school choice bill and now faces a runoff primary. The Dallas Express News dallasexpress.com/state/tx-lawma…

Those who pushed for invading Iraq now point to the threat from the only winner in that war, Iran, to oppose one of the few lawmakers who had the foresight to vote against their disastrous war in 2002. Now that’s some chutzpah! The Dallas Express News dallasexpress.com/?p=184717

CORRUPTION? Congress is preparing to authorize $60 billion in taxpayer spending on Ukraine even as Ukrainian leadership allegedly embezzles so much that the chief of the CIA has asked them to stop.

RIP the great James Earl Jones, whose range was often overlooked. For instance, he was excellent in Best of the Best. But my favorite of his roles has to be Thulsa Doom in Conan the Barbarian, a villain who could induce an existential crisis in his enemies before killing them.

Adelsons gambled that they could get casinos approved in Texas when they bought the Mavericks and all that land. They have never been further away from that goal as Texas went strongly to the right. Now we have Luka Doncic traded as he was about to get the supermax. Fire sale?

Here comes the full court press that should last the rest of the Texas lege session. But did the Adelsons pull the trigger prematurely with the Luka trade? Time will tell.

The most plausible explanation for the Luka trade is that the Adelston family was willing to rip the heart out of this city for political leverage on casino gambling legalization. This should be a non starter after what they took from North Texas.

I think that’s exactly what was implied in ex-mayor Leppert’s 5/10 op-ed. It was a warning shot to the NBA, perfectly timed. The Adelsons’ relationship with Pres. Trump has been the only thing protecting them (and the NBA) from a state of Texas investigation. Christopher Kratovil
