Episode 3561: Did they expect no reaction to erecting a 90-foot tall idol? | Odd Tx court decision on campaign law – Pratt on Texas 9/12/2024

Pratt on Texas

The news of Texas covered today includes:

Our Lone Star story of the day: The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has taken what I think to be an odd ruling on campaign violations, the Texas [un]Ethics Commission, and local prosecutors. It is almost as if the majority is trying to implement in Texas the administrative state problem we have with federal government. Read: Texas Ethics Commission Has Exclusive Jurisdiction Over Campaign Violations, Court Rules and ‘Secret Speech Police’ Granted Exclusive Power Over Campaign Violations, Court Rules.
Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.

From the “What did they expect” file: Hindus erected a 90-foot idol in Sugar Land and then are amazed that others have reacted and that they might need at least security cameras in place. See: Photos Show America’s New ‘Third Tallest’ Statue.
First private sector, non-government, EVA, or spacewalk, took place today. I like Elon Musk’s comment via X:

Strive to greater heights,
For a future brighter than the past,
Waking up each morning inspired,
To learn new secrets of the Universe!
