Every Friday morning, I join the Cardle and Woolley show on 1370 Talk Radio in Austin to discuss the week’s Winners & Losers. While the Texas Big 3—Gov. Greg Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and House Speaker Dustin Burrows—get a big thumbs up for telling state agencies to trim their budgets by 3%, here’s who made the list:
Winners & Losers is calling an end to our summer break. The Almanac says the last 8 p.m. sunsets in the central region of Texas will occur next week, so the days are getting shorter, and we can no longer stand by and let so many winners and losers go by unacknowledged. Here’s who is on my list:
It is more than a little ironic that in the middle of the celebration of 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, one of the nation’s oldest historical organizations, the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), voted down an effort to ban men who say they are women from membership. If men live in a state that allows the gender-confused to change their birth certificates — and if they can prove they are descended from an American patriot — they are in.
Fresh off his first legislative session (and in the middle of his first Legislative Interim) Senator Brent Hagenbuch joined me on The Sherry Sylvester Show to discuss how Texas is addressing challenges from epic growth to Islamification.
The 2026 World Cup featured 104 matches in 16 host cities, including 2 in Texas. 7 million people attended the games but for many Americans it turned into a nationwide tailgate party that went on for weeks.
On July 4, I stood at the site of the Boston Massacre, in front of the Old Massachusetts State House, and heard the Declaration of Independence read from the same balcony where it was first read 250 years ago. Standing on the streets where it all started, I pondered the miracle of those first patriots of Boston who planted the idea of independence in the minds of the people and then saw it realized.
On the latest Sherry Sylvester Show, I discuss how the progressives try to play the race card in college football recruitment with Dr. Richard Johnson, head of TPPF’s Booker T. Washington Initiative and a member of Texas Southern University’s Board of Regents.
Even though I’ve taken off from my Winners & Losers newsletter this summer, I still join the Cardle & Woolley Show on Talk 1370 Radio in Austin Friday mornings at 8:30 a.m. to announce the week’s list. You can listen live here every week or download the broadcast anytime by clicking here. This week I want to talk about one big loser: socialism in New York and Texas.
Why Can’t We Get Rid of Drag Queen Story Hour?
June is here and Pride Month is back—but it’s not all rainbows and parades like it used to be.
This week’s Winners & Losers was produced LIVE at TPPF earlier today with our special guest, Texas State Sen. Paul Bettencourt, R-Houston
Democrats and the progressive left continue to lambast the Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision in Louisiana v. Callais to strike down the Bayou State’s second majority-Black congressional district as a racial gerrymander. Democrat leaders have used vicious and ugly attacks to pronounce the decision as racist and insist that it guts the Voting Rights Act (VRA).
Every Friday morning, I join the Cardle & Woolley Show on Talk1370 Radio in Austin to announce the week’s Winners & Losers. This week, the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change finally admitted that the human race is not close to extinction after all, so we are good to go for Memorial Day Weekend. Here’s who made the list:
