Texas and Tarrant County voters wanted change. Not necessarily Democrats | Opinion

Absolutely nothing about high prices will change Jan. 1 when new faces take over at the Texas Capitol and the Tarrant County Courthouse. The reason we can’t afford gas or Cokes or lunch is in Washington, thinking up more expensive tariffs and wars and prison spending while he designs a $600 million ballroom . That was why voters really turned out Tuesday, and that’s obvious if you look. Texans elected Democrats everywhere who strongly defend public schools . But the same voters also turned down tens of billions of dollars in public school bonds, because whatever school districts want to build or buy, we can’t afford it right now. So this election was all about high prices, not policies. And the war. And establishment corruption. And big business influence, not just for data centers. There’s more to say about Tuesday, but I’ll keep it short: It wasn’t a Democratic mandate Texans still hate both political parties. Just because Texans elected Democrats this week doesn’t mean voters actually like them. Only 34% of Texans like the Democratic party overall, based on the Sept. 25-Oct. 5 University of Texas/Texas Politics Project poll. Meanwhile, 41% of Texans — still less than half —

Fact Check: NBC KornackiCam Result Does NOT Prove Fraud -- Talarico Briefly Shown With 91.9% of Tarrant County Votes

Does a result briefly showing James Talarico with over 91.9% of the votes in the U.S. Senate race in Tarrant County, Texas, during KornackiCam on NBC prove fraud? No, that's not true: The discrepancy appears to be a data entry error involving a missing digit in Ken Paxton's vote count that was immediately questioned on air and revised a few minutes later. There's no evidence that the incorrect numbers were part of any intentional effort to manipulate the election results.

A New Drive-In Theatre Is Coming To McKinney

Movie night is getting a little dose of nostalgia in McKinney. Instead of finding a seat in a dark theater, moviegoers can settle into lawn chairs, gather around their cars and watch a film beneath the Texas sky at Wayback Drive-In, a new outdoor movie theater opening this November. Located at Wayback Barn, 3964 County Road 168, the drive-in is the latest addition to the four-acre outdoor entertainment destination in north McKinney. A grand opening is scheduled for Nov. 6-8. It is the only drive-in movie theater in McKinney and one of the few still operating in North Texas. Guests who purchase movie tickets also receive admission to Wayback Barn, where they can arrive early to play yard games, take on the mini-golf course or grab something to eat and drink before the show. "We wanted to give families a reason to slow down, share a meaningful experience, and turn movie night back into an outdoor social event," said owner Laura O'Dowd. More Than A Movie There is plenty to do before the opening credits roll. The property features a collection of outdoor games, including gaga ball, tetherball, nine square, horseshoes, volleyball, cornhole, ping-pong, foosball, bocce ball and giant Jenga.
