Hilde Mosse comes from one of the wealthiest families in Berlin and stands to inherit an enormous fortune. But she longs for something more meaningful than the luxurious lifestyle her family provides. So Hilde decides to pursue her dream of becoming a doctor. As the Nazis take power in Germany and the Mosse family is forced to flee, Dr. Hilde Mosse lands in New York having nearly lost everything.. She finds her calling treating the mental health of Black youth – and the symptoms of a racist system. In addition to photographs, school records, and correspondence spanning Hilde Mosse’s entire lifetime, the Mosse Family Collection in the LBI Archives includes the diaries she kept between 1928 and 1934, from the ages of 16-22. Hilde’s papers are just part of the extensive holdings related to the Mosse Family at LBI. Learn more at lbi.org/hilde .

He is also a regular Pratt on Texas listener which is a great honor to me. Today we talk about how he and others began the fightback against campus faculty Marxism and abuse in the 1980’s and the fruit of that labor that is beginning to be seen around the country. Dr. Balch is an American conservative scholar and higher education reformer. He was the founding president of the National Association of Scholars from 1987 to 2009. Balch received a bachelor’s degree, magna cum laude, from Brooklyn College, City University of New York, in 1964. He received his master’s degree (1967) and Ph.D. (1972) in political science from the University of California in Berkeley. It was during the Berkeley riots that he became a conservative and he is now a Republican. Dr. Balch was awarded the National Humanities Medal from President George W. Bush at the White House on November 15, 2007. The award cited him “for leadership and advocacy upholding the noblest traditions in higher education,” and went on to say that “his work on behalf of reasoned scholarship in a free society has made him a leading champion of excellence and reform at our nation’s universities.” 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.

Texas saw protests in the streets of Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, and San Antonio over the deportations of criminal illegal aliens. Why, by the way, does the Hearst paper in San Antonio not call these people fascists? The story says : “…protesters waved Mexican flags and chanted slogans such as “Que viva la raza verdadera” and “F Donald Trump.” Foreign flags and slogans?

The news of Texas covered today includes: Our Lone Star story of the day: Dustin Burrows and his BurrowCrat leadership team’s proposed House rules try a giant fake out on voters knowing local media will ignorantly report it their way. While the Burrows’ rules end minority party (Democrat) major committee chairmanships, the rules actually enhance Democrat power by making them automatically vice chairs with new powers, enough to gum up the works. Even worse, Burrows’ eliminates some committees and then creates a bunch of standing “subcommittees” for which Dems can hold chairmanships of and even be a majority of. That’s all bad enough but I found two spots that should show you just how badly all have been sold out by Burrows: One section of the rules mandates mask wearing in hearings if such is simply “recommended” by Washington bureaucrats ! See: CHAPTER D. ORGANIZATION, POWERS, AND DUTIES OF COMMITTEES Sec. 7. A new Rule 4, Section 8A, relating to required face masks during committee meetings, shall read as follows: Rule 4, Sec. 8A. Another section requires masks on the House floor! And in a way even worse: Chapter D., Sec. 9, Rule 4, a “new rule ” essentially kicks the public out of committee hearings – a longtime dream of Capitol insiders: “Rule 4, Sec. 12A. PUBLIC ACCESS TO COMMITTEE MEETINGS. The requirement for all meetings of a committee or subcommittee to be open to other members, the press, and the public may be satisfied by video broadcasting the meeting in real time through the Internet. The video broadcast must be accessible from a link on the house’s Internet website.” 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.

The news of Texas covered today includes: Our Lone Star story of the day: Donald J. Trump was invested with the Office of the President today in the Capitol Rotunda in the City of Washington. I’m pleased to bring you his entire inaugural address. Also, I point out Democrats used the event to lie and propagandize about this being a “democracy” which it is not. Leftist Senator Amy Klobuchar opened by misleading the American people. Democracy: government by the people: rule of the majority . This is the first and pure definition from Merriam-Webster and something our founders specifically opposed. The United States of America is a Republic : a government in which the power belongs to a body of citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by the leaders and representatives elected by those citizens to govern according to law . This matters much because Democrats claim that might makes right, meaning, as was the case with Democrat-backed slavery and segregation, that an opinion of a voting majority is superior to guaranteed natural and constitutional rights.

The news of Texas covered today includes: Our Lone Star story of the day: Are local TV stations being completely honest with you when they gin up anger and tell you the local cable, or satellite, or internet TV provider is “dropping” their channel? No, they are not telling you the whole truth and are in many cases spinning the issue opposite of truth. It is rarely the cable provider dropping the channel, in almost all cases it is the local station refusing the cable company permission for retransmission of the channel because it will not cough up ever more money to do so – which just gets passed right along to you in your cable or satellite TV bill.

Good or bad? Time will tell but the biggest problem we have faced each session is the House not getting to work early. Burrows has earned the BurrowCrat moniker by losing his own party's vote for speaker and yet winning with a large number of Democrats.
