Comparing the US to many countries just shows the depth of the failure of this country to deal with this disease.
So Gov Hot Wheels is really on the roll towards book burning parties across the state. He's instructed the TEA to "investigate any criminal activity in our public schools involving the availability of p*rnography". Because, you know, the Texas Education Agency is world renowned for their criminal investigations. I'm still confused as to why GHW thinks TASB is somehow responsible for content in libraries. Their job is to support school boards and school districts...not to dictate to them.
Faced with competition from his right and sagging polls, wheels is desperately trying regain his extremist right wing base.

After spending $2M earlier this year on election fraud with nothing in return, Texas Republican has a real emergency on their hand. I'm sure this will help Texans that are struggling. Gov. Greg Abbott, GOP leaders allocate $4 million to fund county-level election audits (kwtx.com) GOP leaders on Friday approved shifting $4 million in emergency funds for the Texas secretary of state's office to create an “Election Audit Division" at the agency, which will spearhead county election audits as required by the state's new election law set to take effect next month. The additional funding, first reported by The Dallas Morning News, was requested by Gov. Greg Abbott earlier this week and approved by Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, House Speaker Dade Phelan and the Republican budget-writers of the two chambers, state Sen. Jane Nelson, R-Flower Mound, and state Rep. Greg Bonnen, R-Friendswood. In a Nov. 18 letter to Patrick and Phelan, Abbott said the emergency shift in money — which is coming from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice — was necessary because the secretary of state's office "does not currently have the budget authority to adequately accomplish the goals sought by the Legislature."
The level of pissed off I am at the Texas GOP is pretty much to 11 They don't care about anything but their job
With another winter coming up and still issues with the resiliency of TX infrastructure it's not like there aren't other things they should be spending millions on.
In all the areas with a majority of Trump / GOP voters it certainly is. They were brainwashed about not fearing Covid by Trump for so long they refused to wear masks, social distance, or get vaccinated and ended up dying because of it.
