From the article:

Austin, Texas, leaders are cutting ties with state police who were supplementing the understaffed local department despite crime reduction – in a move critics said cowered to liberal activists.

Austin Mayor Kirk Watson, a Democrat, announced on Wednesday that the city is suspending a partnership with the Texas Department of Safety, when officers responded to emergency calls to assist the defunded and understaffed Austin Police Department. 

Watson had praised the partnership two days earlier and explained that crime and response times had gone down as a result – but in announcing the split, he said the partnership does not adhere to "Austin’s values."

 

Austin's values, smh.

Violent crime was down 28% because of this partnership but apparently that gets pushed aside for Austin's values.

Can you imagine what the officers think?

Officer: Dispatcher, I need a backup unit now.
 

Dispatcher: Sorry officer, the only backup officer available and nearby is a DPS trooper but the mayor doesn’t like them so you are on your own. God be with you….

      NIH Chief Confesses COVID Health Initiatives Were "COMPLETELY MADE UP”!

      By Reagan · Posted

      In a video released Monday, Raja Cholan, a top official at the U.S. National Library of Medicine under the NIH, admitted to an undercover OMG operative he doubts jab efficacy and hasn’t “gotten the latest COVID shots and I’m not going to.”  “I PROBABLY SHOULDN’T BE SAYING THIS OUT LOUD;” Chief Confesses COVID Health Initiatives Were "COMPLETELY MADE UP”. "I don’t even know if these vaccines stop you from getting COVID. They don’t.” Adds, "We're all going to learn [about vaccine safety] when it's too late," as Pfizer & Moderna "are just getting a bunch of money… Vaccines were accelerated through the approval.” ‘We fly under the radar of being scrutinized…I don't think I have too much to worry about.’ Trump victory “worse for the NIH.” “It would be better for a Democrat to be in office.” WOW!!!!

      Newsom Proof

      The same reason you worry about Trump more than anything else. Why do trolls like yourself start threads like your Soros hedge fund thread and you never come back to…..just bait. Newsom might make a run for president in 2028. People need to know about his policies. You don’t think that’s important?

      Newton vs Daingerfield

      By Newtonres75-86 · Posted

      I like Newton’s chances here. I’ve watched  videos of Daingerfield what few I could get. Their big Qb scares me a little he looks Ike a good athlete. I think for a change Newton has a little more speed than the Tigers. That Samuel kid for Newton can move., and it goes without saying about Porter. That Hunter kid ain’t bad either. They scared me to death with their pass defense against Edgewood until I saw the video. That Qb for Edgewood can put it on a dime. And, his receivers could catch it. I’m pumped; this is the most fun time of the year for me. Go Eagles.🦅 I have to add this though. I watched the State game between the tigers and Yoe in 2010. Those guys looked like grown men playing as opposed to kids now a days who look like boys.😂 that was a heck of a good game.
