Chad Read Shooting: Still Looks Like Manslaughter, Despite No Indictment

Posted by Andrew Branca on April 08, 2022 26 Comments

On November 5, 2021, Kyle Carruth fatally shot Chad Read in the chest in a child custody-associated dispute taking place outside Carruth's Texas home. On March 31, 2022, news media announced that a special grand jury convened in this case returned a "no true bill," meaning they declined to indict Carruth on any criminal charges for his having killed Read. Accordingly, it appears that Carruth will face no criminal liability over this event (although he continues to sued civilly over his killing of Read).

Voting Data in Texas Suggests the Hispanic Shift to the GOP is Real

Posted by Mike LaChance on February 24, 2022 22 Comments

Hispanic voters are trending Republican in a shift that could have a huge impact on the elections of 2022 and 2024. There are a few reasons for this, but two of the big ones are the ongoing crisis at the southern border and inflation. The GOP should lay out a red carpet for these voters and make sure they know how welcome they are in the party.
