The Bunker Bob Show

Broadcasting LIVE from the Hopkins County Civic Center in Sulphur Springs, Texas, a candidate forum for Texas State House District 2 Special Election, which will be held on November 7, 2023. Filing deadline for this race is September 6. The following Candidates have already announced they are running & can be expected to attend this forum (list to be updated as candidates announce): Jill Dutton, president of the Republican Women of Van Zandt; Heath Hyde, a Sulphur Springs lawyer; Brent Money, a Greenville lawyer; Doug Roszhart, vice chair of the Hunt County GOP; Buck VanTrease, a veterinarian from Wills Point.

While the Texas Young Republicans demonstrate why no thoughtful conservative would come near this group, Rockwall Young Republicans restore hope that principled conviction comes before brand loyalty. Maybe there IS hope for Texas.

Today's show is focused on Texas' energy grid and why it is languishing to keep up!

The latest news and happenings for Texas Politics.

The most hated men among the Left (including those who postulate Republican "principles") are often those who are lead by a compass and not the latest political wind.

During its gathering in Dallas this past weekend, Texas Young Republican Federation voted to cut ties with the Republican Party of Texas for as long as Matt Rinaldi remains chair of the state GOP. Is this move, which is likely to be followed by other groups, an ominous sign for Texas Republicans, or is this the beginning of Party reformation that will make Texas great again? The answers may surprise you!

This is a video of Konrad Hildebrandt, McLendon-Chisholm's City Administrator, admitting that the City Council lets-in outside parties to Executive Sessions! After watching the video, it's clear that his understanding of TOMA is in conflict with the Texas Open Meetings Act Handbook which states: "Only the members of a governmental body have a right to attend an executive session, except that the governmental body’s attorney must be present when it meets under section 551.071. A governmental body has discretion to include in an executive session any of its officers and employees whose participation is necessary to the matter under consideration. Thus, a school board could require its superintendent of schools to attend all executive sessions of the board without violating the Act. Given the board’s responsibility to oversee the district’s management and the superintendent’s administrative responsibility and leadership of the district, the board could reasonably conclude that the superintendent’s presence was necessary at executive sessions. A governmental body must not admit to an executive session a person whose presence is contrary to the governmental interest protected by the provision authorizing the session. A person who wishes to sell real estate to a city may not attend an executive session under section 551.072, a provision designed to protect the city’s bargaining position in negotiations with a third party. Nor may a governmental body admit the opposing party in litigation to an executive session under section 551.071. A governmental body has no authority to admit members of the public to a meeting closed under section 551.074 to give input about the public officer or employee being considered at the meeting."

Vaccine Choice, School Choice, & the extension of the COVID-19 Disaster Relief are just a few of the topics we'll focus on today.

Texas State Rep. Charlie Geren has become the poster child for "Republicans In Name Only!" First he killed the GOP Legislative Priority #5, to ban Democrat Committee Chairs by playing procedural games against Conservative Bryan Slaton who was attempting to fulfill it. Then he then demonstrated his intent to kill another; a ban on gender modification of Children, by making it clear to a man posing as a father who was transitioning his five year old boy to a girl that such a decision "was between a parent and the Lord." In other words, removing the genitals of a minor child is not, according to Geren, child abuse. Geren, and many like him currently serving in the Texas State House of Representatives, is one of the best reasons that Texas should have term limits and why Republican Primary voters should take a closer look at candidates, especially incumbents, who campaign as strong conservative republicans but who legislate like Democrats.

Both the US & Texas House of Representatives have earned a GOP Majority that is at risk because those we elect continue to install the same kinds of feckless Republican leaders as Speaker. On today's show I'll talk about why we we should support those members of Congress who are part of the Liberty Caucus in Washington that are standing in opposition to Kevin McCarthy and conservative members of the Texas House who oppose Dade Phelan for Speaker & why any criticism about the messiness of the process is wholly the fault of both McCarthy and Phelan.

Now that God has taken back the incomparable Rush Limbaugh, whose talent was, after all, just a loaner, it's the responsibility of all former students of the Limbaugh Institute for Advance Conservative Studies, like Bunker Bob Steinhagen, to continue the tradition he started over 30 years ago to share the TRUE STORY of Thanksgiving; Why Socialism DOESN'T WORK!
