The “Freedom From Religion Foundation” sued this town over city council prayers. A few weeks ago, they lost and League City won.

The opposite of a sanctuary city.

This should be mandatory in every city council in America.

.....and let’s see if the two no vote members are voted out eventually.

Interesting interview with one of Sheila Jackson Lee’s constituents on local FOX this morning. Apparently Feds want to renovate and reopen a closed school to house illegals in their area. Resident up in arms because the school closing meant their children were bused out of the area. She was really upset and understandably so. Thousands of illegal Hispanic kids in a Black area of a sanctuary city should prove interesting.

I thought SJL just wanted to give them lollipops. Will be interesting if she says “You all come to Texas but not in my area”.
