Ken Paxton. The Texas Attorney General. Impeached. You've heard? The first statewide officeholder in over a century to be impeached in Texas. Twenty articles of impeachment. Good going, Ken! You worked hard for this! Just like your hero, Donald Trump! But will you be acquitted like the former president? But

The Outlaws are sad to announce the passing of one of our own, John Nova Lomax. Maybe "one of our own" is a bit of a stretch, but John was one of the early contributors here on the Texas Outlaw Writers website and newsletter. He's listed as a "guest writer"

One of the Texas legislature's most militant culture warriors was voted off of the island for being a groomer.

We missed it. Sure, you clicked the Ticketmaster "Buy" button about 5 million times and finally scored your tween and her pals some $800 Taylor Swift tickets. (Don't forget to take several hundred bucks for a T-shirt!) But the ticket that you really wanted was the ticket to see Willie

News anchor careers, big-ass rockets, possibly an old hotel, maybe the debt ceiling, and hopefully the DeSantis campaign. All Blowed up. Blowed up real good.

A packed issue this week, so pace yourself. I'll lead off with a piece that I've been working on for a while.   Today marks a significant anniversary. Fire tore through the Branch Davidian compound thirty years ago, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the resulting fury still

And now, there's a beer boycott. So you can't drink America's beer while not watching America's game. (You do remember there's a boycott of the NFL, right?) Bud Light partnered with transgender influencer and activist Dylan Mulvaney. Mulvaney showed off a commemorative can of BL sent to her to celebrate

Did you get punked or pranked on April 1? The Washington Post published a helpful list of all the pranks that they could find. Most are celebrity silliness, and there were a lot of phony products or services publicized by their brands in an effort for a little viral social

Tuesday we were PROMISED that there would be an indictment! The Orange Man in the Orange Jumpsuit memes were racing around social media like wildfire. An arrest is imminent!!! Progressives hadn't been this excited since Special Counsel Robert Mueller indicted Trump for obstruction of justice. Oh wait, sorry, this just

FoxNews doesn't seem to have a care in the world. They remain the highest-rated cable channel, by a wide margin, though their numbers are down slightly from a year ago. We're heading into the election horserace, at least in terms of how news content is produced in the modern era.

I find myself putting this week's news together in a hotel in Waco, TX. And by chance, it was 30 years ago on Tuesday the the ATF raided the Branch Davidian compound. (More on that with Moore, below.) I was working for KHOU, the CBS affiliate in Houston at the

Good morning Sunshine! C'mon, you're running out of "Snoozes" on that alarm! You're gonna be late!  Careful now... You're gonna need some Advil, maybe 3! That was a lot of Champagne that you put away last night, and all on a school night! And what's with the rose petals all

When discussing Wednesday night's upcoming State of the Union address, Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy told CNN "We're members of Congress. We have a code of ethics of how we should portray ourselves, that's exactly what we'll do." What he should have added was Groucho Marx's axiom, "Those are

It's still cold. Shouldn't it be warming up by now? It's February for God's sake. And half of Texas is under ice and sleet warnings. Dallas has experienced "thunder-sleet." What kind of experience is "thunder-sleet"? Is sleet a verb? Can you be sleeted on? Can you conjugate sleet? I sleet.

Thank you, gentle readers, for getting us to our First Anniversary! Thanks to you, we've made it this far! Seriously, thank you for supporting us through your readership, your subscriptions, your tips, and your feedback. We continue to try to get our newsletter out midweek, with at least 3 or

For a new year, it seems like old news keep repeating itself. Extreme weather everywhere, all the time. The south had a round of tornadoes this last weekend, and California is soaked, and expecting more heavy downpours (and the resulting mudslides, flash floods, and sinkholes.) Already over 30 mass shootings

And if California slides into the ocean Like the mystics and statistics say it will I predict this motel will be standing until I pay my bill... -Warren Zevon. "Desperadoes Under the Eaves" So, you say you'd like some rain, California? Outlaw Myra Jolivet lives in the Sacramento area, and

Before we get going, the Outlaws want to clarify one thing. To paraphrase (kinda) LBJ on the eve  of the 1968 Democratic National Convention, "We shall not seek, and we will not accept, the nomination for a term as Speaker of the House of Representatives." None of us. Period. Put

Was 2022 a year half full or half empty? It depends on who you ask. Maybe you got a new or better-paying job due to the worker shortage. But runaway inflation probably ate into that raise. Just when supply chain problems started to sort themselves out, Russia invaded Ukraine. Those

Christmas, (and a deep, deep freeze) is almost here in Texas. Don't forget the 4 P's of cold weather: People, Pets, Pipes, and Plants. Not sure what you do about those P's, but I know they're important when it gets cold. Get on it. OK, if you honestly don't know

LOOK AT THE CALENDAR! YOU HAVE SO LITTLE TIME! SHOP! SHOP! FINISH DECORATING FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE! GET THE COOKIES IN THE OVEN! CHECK  THAT CALENDAR AGAIN!!! IT'S ALMOST HERE!!! LET THAT SINK IN, as the kids like to say. Ahem. How's your Christmas season going? Got the shopping done? The

"One of the things I said when they called the race, I said the numbers doesn't look like it's gonna add up....I don't want any of you to stop believing in America...believe in our elected officials and most of all, continue to pray for them."

Suddenly, we're all about futball. (Which is what the cool kids call soccer, you silly non-sports person.) It's the futball game where the concussions come from head-butting the ball and not other players. The sports stepchild here in the states may be finally showing some real growth. The England/USA

"It's gonna be a red wave!" "It's gonna be a MASSIVE red wave!" "It's going to be a bright red super tsunami!" "The predicted red wave, wasn't." "All those predictions that someone made about a red wave did not materialize!" "Who said anything about a red wave? We certainly didn't.

The results are in! And surprise! No blue wave! But thankfully, no red wave either. Now go refill that Xanax prescription and carry on.
