I hope everyone is enjoying their holiday weekend. Here are a few follow-ups to previously covered stories:<\/p>\n

  • Politico’s David Catanese says that David Dewhurst is going to jump into the Senate race<\/a>.\n
  • After months of dawdling, the Obama Administration finally changes its mind and declares Texas a wildfire disaster area<\/a>. Better late than never, I suppose.\n
  • Another ex-Gingrich staffer climbs aboard the Rick Perry bandwagon<\/a> (albeit with a group urging him to run, not Perry himself).\n
  • In the course of naming Rick Perry the “winner” of the recent legislative session<\/a>, the Texas Tribune’s Jay Root repeats the lie that Education funding was decreased in the recent session, rather than receiving a slight increase. Does the MSM just believe that if they repeat the lie enough times people will believe it’s true?\n
  • A Daily Kossack looks over the phony-baloney PPP Texas senate race poll<\/a> and stills comes up gloomy about Democratic chances. Also manages to display his ignorance, stating “On the Democratic side, the only announced candidate is retired Gen. Ricardo Sanchez,” not only ignoring declared Democratic candidate Sean Hubbard, but also his appeal for votes on Daily Kos<\/em><\/a>. I guess it’s just a case of the far left hand not knowing what the other far left hand is doing…\n<\/li>\n

    I hope everyone is enjoying their July 4th weekend, even though those of us in drought-stricken central Texas won’t be firing off any fireworks this year…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
