It's time for Ken Paxton and the rest of the Texan Christiian Nationalists to read the room. Texas public schools DO NOT WANT PRAYER MANDATED in their classrooms. Not just a majority but a near-totality of Texas school districts said a resounding NO to Paxton's proposal for prayer time set aside during the school day.
Sadly, I'm pretty sure Kenny will find an excuse for ignoring the will of Texans. That's sorta his thing.
And btw, in Norway the government just decided that schools has to let pupils "enjoy" church service before xmas holiday, during school day. It is up to the pupils to decide, but the reality is group pressure.
Dallas and Fort Worth started out as 2 small communities, widely separated by vacant prairie, but just kept growing and growing until they finally made contact and kept spread outward from their common border.
The same sort of thing happened multiple times in the US. There are about 30 different communities packed in wall to wall in the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area. New York City is famously 5 separate boroughs that at one time were independent of each other. Minneapolis and Saint Paul in Minnesota is basically one big city (surrounded by a dozen other ones that you can pass into and out of without realizing there was a border there).
Saint Petersburg — Clearwater in Florida is another famous pair of twin cities. (Completely trivial aside: When I was a kid growing up in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, we had a really good semi-pro softball team. They'd make it to the nationals every year, and they usually ended up playing against Clearwater for the title. Everybody was amused to note that Eau Claire, after the river named by early French voyageurs, also meant "clear water".)
Contrarily, I understand that Houston didn't wait around for suburbs to spring up, it just kept extending its city limits to include areas where there MIGHT be future development. Thus the land areas within their actual city limits are:
Houston: ~669 square miles
Dallas: ~385 square miles
Fort Worth: ~350 square miles
even tho the DFW metro area is more populous:
Dallas–Fort Worth–Arlington metro area: ~8.1 million
Houston–The Woodlands–Sugar Land metro area: ~7.5 million
When thing are back more to normal, I guess we will visit again. Our folks mostly live in Arkansas or nearby states. Visitingen them is priority #1. Being tourists is priority #2. Visiting Florida could is on the plan. In spring time.
DFW = Dallas / Fort Worth, one of the largest metropolitan areas in Texas and where I did a whole lot of field service work, mostly for Texas Instruments.
Oooh, Davenport. Home of the Iowa 80. Do you need a CB? A TV? A tooth pulled? Want to watch a movie on a huge TV while letting your chair give you a massage? Lot lizard on your agenda? You've found your Mecca.
This is pretty much true with the entire state. Texas is the second most populous state in the US after California, with an estimated 31.7 million people, according to the most recent census data. All of this is being fueled by migration amongst citizens from other states as well as international mmigration, and with this great influx of people, naturally not everyone is going to identify as Christian.
And whatever few churches there are in those areas, 5 will get you 50 that they are evangelical baptist or assemblies of god or something very similar. With the pastors or preachers preaching TRUMP from the pulpit practically every Sunday.
Trouble is, they don't care whether anyone else wants it. They want to make people dance to their tune, regardless of the legality (or lack of) of the nonsense he's pushing. The hypocrisy is half the point.
And cruelty the other half. What I hope is that people will finally start connecting bills like this to Paxton (and with luck, Abbot as well!) and kick their sorry asses out of office. As for the runoff election, I suspect Cornyn will edge it out, though probably not by much. If Paxton DOES get in there, the contrast between him and Talarico will be like midnight on a moonless night and high noon in the Sahara.
And I would LOVE to see Talarico pull that one out, regardless.
I mean, toxic Christianity versus relatively beneficent Christianity? THAT race will be REALLY telling about the brand of Christianity favored by Texans!
Paxton, 63, known to have engaged in multiple violations of the ten commandments - adultery (that coveting ones neighbour's wife bit), financial shenanigans (thou shall not steal), providing wrong information (lying) and that's just what I know. I am sure we'll get some instances of taking the Lord's name in vain, some sabbath violations as well - what else am I missing??
Talarico, 36, no known violations.
Shouldn't be much of a contest for a real christian.
Shouldn’t be but from reading the evangelical Christian Post, I know that the folks there don’t regard Talarico as a Real Christian. A couple days ago CP ran a piece saying that Talarico’s pastor is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
I take it you're local? If you are, could you keep an eye on it, please, I'd be interested to see how that develops, i.e. whether the attacks keep coming. Or what else they're going to attack him with.
How else would an omnipresent and omnipotent God hear the prayers of believers without a dedicated place and time for prayer? God you expect God to be listening just in case you pray? He has better thing to do with his time.
It wouldn't surprise me if those 15 districts that are going along with the NSGOP nonsense wre all very rural, very religious, and with at least half of the teachers going along with the mandate from administration because they are afraid of being fired.
Public prayer is performative piety pushed by pusillanimously political, pimpled pigs like Paxton, practically pissing preemptively on parental property.
I didn’t need prayer to teach me to say that. But it does help to prove what I have long maintained: prayer is what you do when you don’t want to do anything at all, but you don’t want to be called out for it. Maybe someday the people of Texas will realize that their pastors and politicians are doing nothing for them.
Their own savior told his followers that anyone who makes a show of their faith to be seen by non-followers will have no reward by his father in heaven.
All members of Trump’s administration and the rest of the goddamm right wing jesusfuckers are lying; when their lips are moving, then they are lying. When these smegheads need to prove anything they say, they pull the information/numbers/etc from their scrawny ass.
In fact, their ass and their face look so similar that it is hard to tell which end is spewing shit!
The way Noem has managed ICE and Homeland Security in general, she damned well SHOULD be impeached. The question becomes: will enough Republicans go for it? We've already had some GOP defections which led to Pam Bondi being called to testify before Congress, so it's not out of the realm of possibility.
Whether it actually HAPPENS or not, that's another matter.
I am cautiously optimistic that the harder the Christian nationalists try to force their religion into the public schools, the more they will alienate today's young people.
"I am cautiously optimistic that the harder the Christian nationalists try to force their religion into the public schools, the more they will alienate today's young people."

A similar attempt in the UK has simply seen congregations disappearing one funeral at a time.
It's taken a while, but I think that people may be waking up to the BS the Nat-Cs are attempting to lay on them. The very fact that an overwhelming majority of school districts thumbed their collective noses at Paxton speaks volumes.
What I wonder is whether this story has made it out to the general news media in Texas. That would make a significant difference, all by itself.
Paxton is as corrupt as they come, and he will go with what ever he sees as politically popular. Always with his arrogant smirk. The Texas Senate did not acquit him on the charges that got him impeached because he was innocent. They circled the wagons and acquitted him because he's a Republican. Period.
I'm not wild for Cornyn, but he and Paxton will apparently be in a runoff election later this year, then up against Talarico in the general ... where I'm HOPING that maybe-just-maybe we can turn the Lone Star State just that little bit PURPLE.
They do. The reason why cities across the country were demonized (crime-ridden, hellholes etc) leading up to the last presidential election is because conservatives know this. They are terrified of cities because that’s where folks of all backgrounds get together and talk…about our similarities rather than our differences. That is dangerous to the ruling class! 🤣
2020 Presidential votes for Democrats in Texas: 5,259,126.
That’s more Democrats in Texas than in these states actually WON by Democrats: Arizona (1,672,143), Colorado (1,804,352), Connecticut (1,080,831), Delaware (296,268), DC* (317,323), Georgia (2,473,633), Hawaii (366,130), Illinois (3,471,915), Maine (435,072), Maryland (1,985,023), Massachusetts (2,382,202), Michigan (2,804,040), Minnesota (1,717,077), Nevada (703,486), New Hampshire (424,937), New Jersey (2,608,335), New Mexico (501,614), New York (5,230,985), Oregon (1,340,383), Pennsylvania (3,458,229), Rhode Island (307,486), Vermont (242,820), Virginia (2,413,568), Washington (2,369,612), and Wisconsin (1,630,866).
I think Nat-C’s are doing long-term harm to how people view Christianity and religion generally and they don’t care one bit. In terms of young people (young men especially) I believe they are looking for an alternative sense of belonging/community and just not finding those options currently. I believe it is our duty to help create/offer those spaces to them.
And other, normal people might look upon the Texas legislature and think 'Guys, don't you think that there are more worthwhile issues you should be focusing on? You've only got three and a half days a year, surely you should concentrate on sorting out healthcare, environmental issues or transport problems?'
I really wish that all of those plonkers get kicked out at the next election!
If not kicked out of office, I would settle for the boneheads to be kicked in the balls again and again (with steel toe boots). If they can handle their genitalia being brutally assaulted, then they can handle any crisis.
Maybe that should be a requisite for office, I sure tough republicans can handle that!
At the very least the entertainment value would be there! 😇

Rare stopped clock moment for Rand Paul; entirely predictable backstabbing by the ever-disgraceful John Fetterman. Iranians aren't white or Christian enough to be worth re-asserting the lawful separation of powers over, apparently.
Can we borrow an idea from George Carlin and beat Cheetolini to death by hitting him repeatedly with Fetterman? 2 victims, no murder weapon. The police would assume it was a pedestrian accident.

Trump supporters are that dumb to believe a story like this, I mean this is a group that believes in a talking snake, virgin giving birth, a person being turned into a pillar of salt, and a dead guy coming back to life.
In fact if Trump, Fox channel, right wing clergy were to claim that Persian cats are communist spies working for Iran to destroy the United States; not only would they accept it without question, they would go out and start killing Persian cats thinking that the cats ARE communist spies working to destroy the US. This group already willing to believe what their leaders tell them even if it is two contradictory statements.

You left out the greater Marion-Cedar Rapids-Hiawatha-Ely-Fairfax-Mt. Vernon-Robins-Palo metro area. 😉
