THE TEXAS TRIBUNE -- Attorney General Ken Paxton's securities fraud case back to tried in his home county in North Texas, an appeals court affirmed Thursday when it denied the prosecution's plea to reconsider the decision.
The 1st Court of Appeals in Houston denied a motion by prosecutors to hold a hearing of the full nine-justice court to review the decision made by a three-justice panel of the court in May to move the case from Harris County back to Collin County, where Paxton lives. The order avoids further delays in the six-year-old criminal case against the sitting attorney general and returns the case to what is seen as a friendlier venue to the two-term Republican incumbent.

I've been keeping an eye on the numbers for Brazos County, where Texas A&M is,
ever since someone posted a video from Saturday’s game. Packed stadium, some singalong where they link up with arms over the shoulders of the people on each side and sway back and forth. Hope that song was worth a trip to the hospital.
Hit the road, hacks, and don't you come back no more, no more

A good Daily Kos story on this: When the Religious Right was pro-choice
To be fair, at the time of the Roe decision there were a few, very few, evangelical extremists who only mildly criticized the ruling. For the most part “the overwhelming response was silence, even approval.” In particular, evangelical fundamentalists “applauded the decision as an appropriate articulation of the division between church and state, and between personal morality and state regulation of individual behavior.” W. Barry Garrett wrote in the Baptist Press that, “Religious liberty, human equality and justice are advanced by the Supreme Court abortion decision.”
During a symposium sponsored by the Christian Medical Society and the so-called “flagship magazine” of the entire evangelical movement, Christianity Today “refused to characterize abortion as sinful, citing individual health, family welfare, and social responsibility as adequate justifications for ending a pregnancy.”
It took a full six years (1979) for the religious right leadership to abandon its pro-choice position and summarily obey the Vatican, the Heritage Foundation and its so-called “Moral Majority” founder Paul Weyrich. The religious right extremist Weyrich convinced evangelical clergy to “seize on abortion as a Republican cause célèbre and rallying cry to deny President Jimmy Carter a second term.”

Synchronicity! I was just looking at some on Amazon.
Clicked on them because I liked the name, but they were getting mixed reviews. Might try some now. Thank you.
I love the design of that fountain!
Oh gosh, you're right.
Every covid story I read that involves kids I think, "They can't get vaccinated! Why aren't you being more careful?", thinking that they just need to hang in there until the vaccine is approved for kids. But of course the same people who are now claiming medical and religious exemptions for their children to not wear masks to school will not voluntarily get their kids vaccinated and will use the same bulls**t exemptions if vaccines are mandated.
I just can't even.
