Texas' progress on higher education goals mixed, officials say

Black females can't depend on the black male anymore. They see the writing on the wall. Many are mothers who want to make a better life for themselves and their kids by getting an education. There are more black males in Texas prisons than are enrolled in Texas colleges. Go figure.

Local Mother Sentenced For Spanking

I really don't like to disparage the bench, but this judge acts like a real a$$hole. However, there might be more to the story. I too, wondered if there wasn't more to it than just preaching from the bench, so I emailed the district attorney's office asking that if it was just a simple spanking, why the prosecution? They wrote back with the following statement:

"The case involved a not yet 2 yr old baby who was taken to grandma’s home with bruises covering her rear end and lower back. The Grandma called EMS and baby was transported to Driscoll Children’s Hospital. The “care-team” became involved and found the injuries were intentional, non-accidental injuries. The police were then called. The mother ultimately admitted the assault. Child Protective Service was already involved with the woman and her 2 older children, and we felt that the criminal justice system now needed to be involved. The Grand Jury returned a “true bill” on the indictment."

Frankly, this is horseshit. Another regressive tax to pay for shitheads who can't obey the law and requires us to pay their legal bills.

Recent escape shows security flaws at prisons

Now, Senator "I knew before I didn't know" Whitmire has teamed up with overrated corrections expert (aren't all lawyers experts at everything) Steve J. Martin (who gave TDCJ away to the feds during the Ruiz era) to give canned responses about the obvious. To think people pay Martin for his opinion for things he's never done (the bridesmaid's effect).

Changes needed in prison housing perks

Rep. Madden needs to cut the governor's $10,000 a month free rent before messing with TDCJ housing.

Cartels a cause of Valley's street-gang effect, cops say.

It's certainly no secret that Texas prison gangs have been working with street gangs for the last two decades. They use these so-called associates to do their really dirty work. Using juvenile street gang members is even more lucrative because juveniles receive less punishment if caught. So, it should come as no surprise that the Mexican drug cartels work with Texas prison gangs to push dope in the U.S. Texas prison gangs like the Texas Syndicate, Mexican Mafia, Barrio Azteca, HPL, and even the white gangs, the Aryan Brotherhood and Aryan Circle collude with the cartels. Border violence on the U.S. side is kept at a minimum so as to not draw attention of our law enforcement agencies. The Texas prison gangs keep a lid on violence and other illegal activities by telling the cartels that they run things on this side of the border. It's a peaceful co-existence that works well and keeps law enforcement on their toes. The FBI treats it like a secret club and seldom, if ever, divulges information to the press regarding this activity. But, it's no big secret. It's really knowing how the gangs work and applying a little common sense.

Let's get real........
