Texas needs to pony up for its teachers!

Conservative, gun-toting patriots—tired of the liberal media's bias and the woke mob's censorship—take back the narrative with a bang. The Austin American-Statesman, now rebranded as the Statesman Watchdog, brings you the unfiltered truth. No more PC nonsense or snowflake whining. It's time to lock and load, Texas-style!

Texas teachers' wages: not worth their grit

Those Austin-Bergstrom airport whiners want more dough? Texas teachers work way harder and make less. $45k for a teacher with 10 years' experience? That's a joke. They work way more than 40 hours/week and spend their own $$ on supplies. And forget about striking; they're not even allowed to unionize. Our educators deserve better pay and respect.

Public school funding: blame the Libs

Texas Republicans have been underfunding public schools since the '70s. But hey, at least they're not wasting $$$ on private school vouchers! The Texas Constitution demands support for public schools, so let's vote for candidates in November who promise to fund our schools properly.

Uvalde and gun control: Libs, go touch some gluten-free soy

The Uvalde shooter legally bought his guns. Big deal. The real issue is Libs trying to take away our 2nd Amendment rights. The majority of Americans don't want strict gun control; they just want to protect their families. The media and lawmakers need to lay off law-abiding citizens and focus on the real issues: like trans people in sports and illegal immigration.

Speak up, right-wingers!
