Governor Abbott Discusses How COVID-19 Impacts Texas Budget



Every industry has felt a hit from COVID-19, but many are wondering how outbreaks in meatpacking plants will effect the grain, beef, cattle, diary and hog industries. Luckily, Governor Abbott has a plan.

“We are working with the industry, whether it be to find alternative locations or other strategies to help them make sure that they are able to get to market the food and products and the cattle that they raise. So yes, we are actively working with them to assist them anyway we possibly can,” said Texas Governor Greg Abbott.

There are other plans to bring some industries back to the United States which the U.S. had originally sent off shore.

“This is a lesson learned. What the country is doing, is they are re-shoring, or bringing back to the United States of America, the manufacturing capability of things like masks, of other PPE, of medicines and things like that, so we will never have to be dependent upon another country for a response to a pandemic like this again,” said Governor Abbott.

Image
On this episode of The Bail Post we discuss an important case involving a recovery agent who was licensed in Louisiana.  A defendant who was charged with a misdemeanor failed to appear for court and then went to the state of Missouri where she was staying at the time she was filed.  The recovery agent and his partner traveled to Missouri, took the defendant into their custody and began traveling back to Louisiana.  The defendant was eventually dropped off at a sheriff's office in Mississippi.  The two recovery agents were charged with federal kidnapping charges because they crossed state lines.  One of the recovery agents plead guilty and was given probation.  The other went to trial and was convicted and given a sentence of 10 years.   The case was appealed because of the jury instructions given by the trial court.   Join us to find out why the court of appeals reversed the case and what the future holds for the recovery agent.

The Untold Story- Selling Out Public Safety One District Attorney at a Time

Image
The Untold Story- Selling Out Public Safety One District Attorney at a Time By Eric Granof History is full of examples where good intentions paved the way to disastrous outcomes.  Today, we are witnessing another such moment -- a social experiment in criminal justice reform that has unleashed unforeseen consequences on our urban communities. This experiment was built on two flawed premises.  The first was that bail is unnecessary and people would voluntarily appear in court without financial incentives.  The second was that “soft-on-crime” policies would not lead to increased criminal activity.  Both assumptions have proven catastrophically wrong, but the damage has already been done. A group of individuals advocating bail reform -- and criminal justice reform in general -- established a network of groups to push a series of initiatives.  It was funded by a small number of extremely deep-pocketed foundations and wealthy billionaires.  Among them, the Open S...

The Bail Post Episode No. 62- How Cartels Took Over the Legal Marijuana Drug Trade With Guest Daniel Greenfield

Image
This Episode of The Bail Post was recorded several months before the election last November.  When we attempted to post information regarding this episode on social media, it was immediately deleted.  After multiple attempts to post the information we began to question our decision to cover this matter.  Were we duped?  Were we just wrong?  Then the issue of cartels and drugs became an issue in the Presidential election.  Now that the election is over, it appears that this information was "suppressed" by social media. This episode of The Bail Post highlights how cartels are taking over the legal marijuana drug industry in California and in other states that have legalized the trade; taking advantage of lax immigration policies.  Our guest is Daniel Greenfield.  Daniel has been a writer, columnist and a journalist for nearly twenty years. In that time he has tackled stories across the country and around the world.  Daniel has worked alongside ...

Nathan Hochman Takes Office As New LA District Attorney- Hits the Ground Running

Image
  In his first two days in office, new Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman has rolled back on progressive policies backed by former district attorney George Gascón. “I’ll be prioritizing public safety while ensuring real and effective criminal justice reform,” Hochman said in a recent interview with Annenberg Media. “I believe you can do both at the same time.” Hochman’s first changes expanded the power of L.A. County prosecutors to enforce harsher sentences for crimes. This included dismantling Gascón’s Proposition 47, which stated that certain non-violent offenses, including stealing merchandise under the value of $950, would be reclassified as misdemeanors rather than felonies. Hochman backed Proposition 36, which passed into law on November 5. This legislation aimed to reinforce strict penalties for repeat offenders, specifically in regard to theft and drug-related crimes. Gascón’s restrictions on applying gang-related sentence enhancements . . . To see more CLI...
