Instead of giving #txed teachers a deserved raise with our historic financial surplus of $33 billion, @GregAbbott_TX pushed a private school subsidy plan called vouchers.
It failed.
Now he attacks #txlege House Reps who stopped him.

The Arcane Texas Fact of the Day:
The man who led the University of Florida team that invented Gatorade, Dr. Robert Cade, was a Texan, having been born in San Antonio in 1927. He went to Brackenridge High School, where he ran the mile in 4 minutes, 20 seconds ---- a great time for a high schooler in the 1940s. He served in the Navy during WW II and, after being discharged, enrolled in the University of Texas. Robert completed four years of undergraduate coursework in two calendar years, and graduated with his bachelor's degree in 1950. In 1953, he married Mary Strasburger, a nurse from Dallas, Texas, He got his doctor of medicine degree from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas in 1954. Gatorade has, so far, earned the University of Florida more than 200 million dollars in royalties. Mr. Cade passed away in 2007.
When I think about it, it makes sense. Who knows more about thirst than Texans? Nobody, that's who.
Oh hey @GovAbbott you wonder why we are having a teacher/coaching shortage? Stuff like this happening all too much this days but no pay raises or protection for teachers…trust us we got it and we will not be voting for you!
One of my favorite pictures! 21 years ago tonight my brother and I celebrate the completion of the trifecta. Just wish Dad was on the field. He was looking down with a smile on his face!
❤️ “In 1965, Charles Schulz, a devout Christian and creator of the Peanuts comic strip, was asked to create a Christmas special for CBS featuring the Peanuts Characters. He agreed with one requirement, that they allow him to include the story of the birth of Jesus. Although the stations executives were hesitant and tried to convince him otherwise, Schulz was insistent. As a result, for the past 50 plus years, millions of people have watched and “A Charlie Brown Christmas” and heard the story of Jesus and “what Christmas is all about.”
It wasn’t until a few years back that I realized a “hidden message” in the film. Linus, a child who seems to have some insecurities as he carries a security blanket with him at all times. In fact, Linus NEVER drops his blanket, except once....
While sharing the message of “what Christmas is all about,” Linus drops his blanket at the exact moment he says the words, “fear not!”
In this seemingly innocent moment, Linus delivers a powerful reminder of the true meaning of Christmas. We are to “fear not”, for Jesus is born. We needn’t rely on material things for security, we have God with us, “Immanuel”, (Matthew 1:23) Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior - the true meaning of Christmas.
Awhile back, someone informed me, indignantly so, that Linus picks up his blanket at the end of the speech so my interpretation must be wrong. Well, he was right, Linus does pick up his blanket at the end of his speech. However, he “drops” it again later...
Amid big, bright, colorful, shiny artificial trees, Charlie Brown chose the least of these, a little, wooden tree with just a few branches. Shortly thereafter, Linus uses his blanket to wrap about the base of the tree and says, “Maybe it just needs a little love”. In that moment, the tree “awakens”, stands tall and firm. A reminder that no matter who we are, how many mistakes we’ve made, a “little love” can make all the difference.
Let’s strive to “fear not” (Luke 2:10) and “love one another” (John 13:34), not just at Christmastime, but the whole year through.” ❤️
