Privacy Policy.<\/a><\/p>\nThis isn\u2019t about protecting Texans. It\u2019s about boosting his profile ahead of his Senate run. By aligning himself with President Donald Trump and echoing fringe health rhetoric, Paxton is trying to stay in the news cycle and appeal to the MAGA base. <\/p>\n
Meanwhile, real issues affecting families \u2014 like access to autism services and affordable health care \u2014 go ignored.<\/p>\n
Texans deserve leaders who prioritize facts and public health, not lawsuits designed to score political points. This is grandstanding at its worst.<\/p>\n

Watch for legal contracts<\/p>\n
Well, there he goes again \u2014 Ken Paxton wasting Texans\u2019 taxpayer money to curry favor with his leader. In this case, he\u2019s focused on the totally unproven claims from the Department of Witch Doctors that a widely used medication, well established in usage by medical professionals, causes autism. <\/p>\n
I urge The Dallas Morning News to monitor any lucrative state contracts awarded to outside legal firms for the prosecution of this case. I suspect yet another play to funnel taxpayer money to Paxton\u2019s pals and campaign contributors.<\/p>\n

Plano, you need DART<\/p>\n
Time to grow up, Plano! Stop thinking of yourself as a pleasant, isolated, rural green village.<\/p>\n
You chose to transform yourself into an important adjunct to Dallas and McKinney\u2019s commercial activities (attracting Toyota, J.P. Morgan, Liberty Mutual and other major players). <\/p>\n
Every business day you pour hundreds of commuters going both ways onto the Sam Rayburn and North Dallas Tollways and create massive traffic tie-ups at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and on U.S. 75.<\/p>\n
Plano needs DART, and DART needs Plano. The roadways are already filled to near capacity. Plano could instead become the vital junction point for conveniently timed commuter rail service for commuters in McKinney, Frisco and Denton and their downtown destinations.<\/p>\n
You asked for DART, Plano. Stop acting like an unfairly burdened, privileged adolescent. Stand up and assume responsible leadership for DART\u2019s beneficial expansion. <\/p>\n

Remember, folks<\/p>\n
I recently heard on the Mike Gallagher radio show that Democrat Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said President Donald Trump doesn\u2019t care about fixing health care. I\u2019m the kind of guy the Democrats hate because I tend to remember things they don\u2019t like. <\/p>\n
It seems America is struggling right now with two main issues. One is health care and the other is immigration enforcement. I would like to remind people that in 2008, President Barack Obama promised the American people that if they elected him, he and the Democrats would pass immigration reform in his first year. He and the Democrats never did, but they did, without any Republican support, pass the Affordable Care Act.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t understand why anyone would trust what Democrats say. They blame Trump for handling America\u2019s problems that they caused. <\/p>\n
And remember, there wouldn\u2019t be any need for mass deportation if there hadn\u2019t been mass importation by the Democrats. Remember, folks. I do.<\/p>\n
This information came from the mind of an independent thinker.<\/p>\n

Stop the stonewalling<\/p>\n
I understand that any federal judge may administer the oath of office for a congressional representative. This stonewalling by House Speaker Mike Johnson must come to an end. Get representative-elect Adelita Grijalva of Arizona sworn in and let the Epstein chips fall where they may.<\/p>\n

Where are the lawyers?<\/p>\n
I am curious why there is no concerted emphasis by lawyers in addressing the threat to the rule of law from politicians in power nationally and at the state level. Most Texas lawyers as a group, as are attorneys in other states, are seemingly being boiled alive like the proverbial frog. <\/p>\n
At what point do lawyer associations and lawyers individually realize that the rule of law in a constitutional democracy and not authoritarian executive rule is the most fundamental principle of law and that it is at stake at this very moment? <\/p>\n
I wouldn\u2019t object so much to putting the Ten Commandments in every school room if it was accompanied by the Bill of Rights. Lawyers should be speaking up. Fellow lawyers, this is a no-brainer! From a retired attorney.<\/p>\n
