    5th Annual Boots & Barbecue Fundraiser….

    September 27, 2022 by Mark L. Torrey in / / / / / /

    5th Annual Boots & Barbecue Fundraiser….

    ….. is a huge success !!

    Republicans from across Bastrop County and throughout Central Texas gathered together Saturday evening, September 24th, 2022 at the Bastrop Convention & Exhibit Center for an evening of camaraderie, competitive auction bidding and lively political conversation. Following the opening ceremonies Bastrop County Chair Curtis Courtney introduced all Federal, State, County and Precinct elected officials present. The brand new “Bob and Sue Long Lifetime Achievement Award” created in their honor, was presented to Bob and Sue Long by former County Chair Albert Ellison, for recognition of their forty plus years of commitment and contribution in establishing the Republican Party in Bastrop County. Without the efforts of Bob and Sue Long, there would not be a Republican Party in Bastrop County.

    County Chair Curtis Courtney presented framed 1800’s vintage Bastrop County maps to Texas Representative John Cyrier HD-17 and to Bastrop County Judge Paul Pape for their years of dedication, commitment and service to Bastrop County. Master of Ceremonies, Representative Cyrier introduced Guest Speakers Tx Senator Dr. Charles Schwertner SD-5, U.S. Congressman Michael McCaul CD-10 who provided commentary on the workings of Texas Legislature and our National focus in Washington DC. The introduction of Keynote Speaker Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick brought the crowd to their feet for a standing ovation and much applause as he spoke of travels throughout the state, the importance of Rural Texas’ vote, and what is required to keep Texas Red.

    Proceeds from the event will support local party activities, republican candidates, and party administrative needs. The Bastrop County Republican Party is deeply appreciative of the support of table sponsors, attendees, silent and live auction donors, and the many local business that generously supported this event.

    Disingenuously Out of Control

    April 8, 2021 by Mark L. Torrey in /

    It comes as no surprise to anyone that some social media companies are out of control. The news of blocking and censorship is everywhere. Blocking on Twitter is commonplace if an account has the name GOP, posts about former President Trump, or otherwise offends Twitter’s liberal sensitivities. Posts are being “fact-checked” by Facebook constantly. YouTube leaves sexually explicit videos uncensored, unrestricted for all age groups, while de-monitizing (cutting off ad revenue) conservative publishers. Or, worse yet, these three companies block entire accounts without explanation.

    But now, because so many people are “disliking” President Biden and White House videos on YouTube, YouTube is no longer going to let you know how many dislikes there are. As reported this morning on YouTube blocked “Louder with Crowder”, and in print by The National Pulse, soon you’ll no longer see the dislikes on these videos, only likes.

    How disingenuous.  Trump video likes on YouTube far exceeded dislikes.  His last video as president is an example.  The examples below are clear evidence of why YouTube doesn’t want people to know how much people dislike President Biden and his policies. One would think that a guy with 81 million votes would garner more than 161 likes on YouTube.  Removing dislikes? One more way to dupe the public.  We will not be fooled.

    President Biden 3/31/2021
    👍 161 👎 2,100
    White House Biden dislikes
    President Biden 3/25/2021
    👍 2,500 👎 7,500
    President Trump 1/20/2021
    👍 31,000 👎 2,200
