Betrayal! Instead of dealing with Texas property taxes, I’m releasing a list of some of the things that the Texas House prioritized this session.

All of these PASSED the House, yet no bills to eliminate property taxes were even allowed to be debated!

HR 161: Congratulates Beyoncé for winning three Grammys at the 2025 Grammy Awards.
HR 404: Recognizes Zoroastrian Day at the State Capitol.
HR 32: Recognizes Pakistan Day at the State Capitol.
HB 3832: Creates “animal friendly” license plates.
HB 366: Criminalizes political memes.
HB 2858: Establishes a new Mexican Guest Worker Program.
HB 27: Removes requirement for high school students to learn economics.

  1. Dems and GOP are two sides of the same filthy coin.

    An analogy: The elected officials are the officers on the bridge. The unwashed masses who are scrubbing the deck down below get into arguments and fist fights over issues for the entertainment of the officers. The only thing that matters to those on the bridge is to stay on the bridge. They don’t care whose hand is at the helm or where the ship is headed, as long as they stay on the bridge.

  2. “HB 2462: Allows women to ride alone in HOV lanes.”

    Your ticket can now reach the Supreme Court, where they can’t define women. Go for it, guys!

    The Tender Sex has now become the Nolo Contendere sex.

  3. “HB 27: Removes requirement for high school students to learn economics.“

    Well, economists don’t learn economics either so it’s doubtful anyone can actually teach it at the high school level. Plus they’re not learning much math and you need math to study economics.

    If you say to your college student, “Go balance your checkbook!” you get “Huh? Why?” back. “The bank’s website does that. Besides, I don’t use checks.” Or, “Have you made out a budget for your expenses and figured out your cash flow?” “Dad! I don’t need to do that! I know what they are.”
