Episode 3893: Azle ISD case shows moral decline of civic leadership | Feds clamp down on RGV illegal alien “charity” – Pratt on Texas 1/8/2026

The news of Texas covered today includes:

Our Lone Star story of the day: The attitude and words of Azle ISD’s superintendent Todd Smith demonstrate not only the stench of local government but also the massive decline in our social morality and sense of ethics.

Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.
