Pratt: Texas Democrat Reality Is a Universe of Its Own
Texas Democrats tried to make the case that State Rep. Ryan Guillen is leaving the party because his newly drawn district lines would make it hard to gain re-election as a Democrat, but that doesn’t fit the facts as much as it fits Democrat excuse-making and fantasy.
Nothing ‘Mainstream’ About Crony Media
The legacy media does not sit in the “mainstream” of political or cultural thought, but on the far-left bank.

Bovard: Section 230 Protects Big Tech From Lawsuits. But It Was Never Supposed to Be Bulletproof.

Boycotting Left-Bucks
Apparently it’s okay to charge $4 for a mediocre cup of coffee, but the very free market system that allows it cannot be discussed or praised. David Boaz of the Cato Institute, writing in the Wall Street Journal, notes that Starbucks will let you personalize a gift card (for $5) with any phrase… But should a phrase have a hint of right-leaning politics, they grind it up.
Continuing to Empower Texans!
Tonight, Empower Texans hosted a great conference call for conservatives with numerous conservatives joining in to remind others that each election is an opportunity to gain ground.

George Will once said that without the National Review, we wouldn’t have gotten Goldwater, and without Goldwater, Reagan. If you’ve been involved in the conservative movement for even just a short time, you’ve felt that influence whether aware of it or not.

Merry Christmas!
We hope you and yours have a happy holiday season!
