Opinion

LETTERS: Trump backed, Launch blasted, Rage lives, Assassination led to changes

Hamas individuals may have already crossed our border and no, they did not walk hundreds of miles through Mexico carrying and hiding weapons and explosives. With billions sent to Iran by our fearless leader, they probably flew into Matamoros with professionally forged passports and burned them before wading across the river!

LETTERS: Interrupted by tragedy, Curb service draws attack

It was my first teaching job: I joined Catholic Lay Mission Corps after graduating from St. Mary’s College in Notre Dame, Ind., and was assigned a sixth-grade class at Dolores School south of Austin. The teachers lived in an army barracks across the parking lot from the church and school.

COMMENTARY: Don’t fund private schools

An open letter to our state legislators.

LETTERS: Republicans spur comment, Saenz backed

Tired of making sense of the news? At least on a rational plane of thought? Paul Pelosi’s attempted kidnapper and/or murderer weeps in court because he was radicalized, and beat an 83-year-old man almost to death in his own home.

LETTERS: Crime family, Political justice

For those MAGATrumpers who keep spouting right-wing propaganda about the “Biden crime family.” I know you never heard it on FOX, Infowars, Newsmax or any other right-wing, fascist propaganda sources, so here are some facts about the true crime family.

EDITORIAL: State deportation bill an assault on justice, Mexico, Constitution

The Texas Legislature has passed a bill that would enable local law enforcement agencies and courts to arrest suspected illegal immigrants and deport them to Mexico. Gov. Greg Abbott, who has clamored for stricter border policies in his calls for special sessions, is sure to sign it.

COMMENTARY: Mother makes case for educational savings accounts

As a mother in the Rio Grande Valley, I find the topic of education and its accessibility hit close to home. The recent special session call requiring Texas lawmakers to return to Austin and consider education savings accounts is a call that resonates with dedicated parents like Addison McKee and many of us in the Rio Grande Valley.

LETTERS: Democrats draw attack, Weapons defended, Value of life

It is truly hilarious what the Democrats got themselves into. They tell the world how intelligent they are and that our country is going down the drain and with it, our democracy! Farthest from the truth!

COMMENTARY: Vouchers bad for Valley

The Texas Legislature has once again been called back to Austin to pass an education savings account voucher program that legislators in the House have rebuffed time and time again. These vouchers would provide up to $10,500 for some individuals to attend private schools.

EDITORIAL: Officials should ask why so many families want to leave public schools

Gov. Greg Abbott doesn’t seem inclined to let the issue of school choice go until lawmakers approve the measure. After efforts to pass a voucher bill failed in the regular legislative session and three special sessions, Abbott has called a fourth session to continue pushing the measure as well as border security proposals.
