Texas Leads the March on the Path to “Stupid”

When it comes to the assault on intelligence, the battle plan is being created by the state of Texas.

And this is killing our intelligence as a nation.

Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins and attorney Howard Nations explain what’s happening, including what the goal behind this attack on intelligence really is.
