9th & Congress: Winners & Losers – April 26, 2024

Every Friday morning at 8:30AM, I discuss the week’s Winners & Losers on the Cardle & Woolley show on Austin’s 1370 Talk Radio.

Texas Media Covers DEI Like NPR

Conservatives weren’t surprised by National Public Radio (NPR) Senior Editor Uri Berliner’s recent whistle-blowing account showing how NPR is actively involved in pushing a progressive agenda. Berliner detailed how the taxpayer-funded news outlet simply stopped asking questions and instead took a partisan side on most issues. During the pandemic, NPR declared that to suggest that...

9th & Congress: Winners & Losers – April 19, 2024

We have to shift the focus off Texas for a minute to declare that the week’s big winner is Israel. The weekend attack on Israel directly from Iran finally made it clear to foggy thinkers in both America and the world that what is going on in the Middle East is a war against Western Civilization. Israel...

Texas Longhorns were stunned when the news broke that the University of Texas at Austin had fired as many as 60 employees connected to so-called “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” programs. A week prior to the firing, Texas Senate Education Committee Chairman Brandon Creighton, R-Conroe, had alerted Texas universities that he would be calling them to the Capitol in May...

State Sen. Brandon Creighton’s Bill Ending DEI Was Not a Suggestion

Senate Education Chairman Brandon Creighton, R-Conroe, has alerted Texas universities that he will be calling them to the Capitol in May to provide an update on their progress in ridding Texas campuses of DEI, as required by Senate Bill 17.

The War Against History Continues in Texas

Wokeness won’t go away quietly, especially in the war against history. In April, a new Texas history organization, created in the aftermath of a critical race showdown within the Texas State Historical Association (TSHA), announced it will meet for its first symposium, titled “Texas History in the 21st Century: Looking Back, Moving Forward.” At this...

Until now, the trajectory has always been up. However, in the last year, DEI has been exposed to...

Harvard’s Claudine Gay and DEI in Texas

Pushing out Claudine Gay as president of Harvard may be the biggest academic rejection in American history since Cotton Mather was passed over for the same job in 1702 because of his participation in the Salem Witch Trials. That said, many people do not realize that Gay is still at Harvard as a professor earning...

2023 Set the Stage for Big Victories in 2024

It is not the best of times. Our country is so hopelessly and hatefully divided that we can’t even agree on enough facts to have a decent argument. Millions of people from all over the world are streaming across the border, it seems like half the country is marching in the streets in support of...
