Untitled

For the record the United States supreme court never ordered any redistricting. This was the work of rick perry and the texas legislature.

The "Mike McKinney" linked in the article is a prize fighter in Florida, not a politician in Texas. Can someone disambiguate the situation? Rammer (talk) 05:18, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Additional sources needed

I just added a citations needed tag to the page. There are dozens of unsourced statements about Brady's (alleged?) opinions. This needs some clean-up. HistoricMN44 (talk) 21:19, 7 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

2020 Tweet about about Trump impeachment

Hi Wikipedia. I tried to add the below text but it was removed with comment that twitter is not a reliable source. But in this case, i'm citing Kevin Brady's own tweet? Shouldn't that be OK? If not, i can use the related CNN article https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/10/politics/donald-trump-mike-pence-final-days-25th-amendment/index.html − In January 2021, in response to the 2021 storming of the United States Capitol and subsequent calls to impeach Donald Trump, Brady caused controversy by tweeting @RepKevinBrady (9 January 2020). "Those calling for impeachment or invoking the 25th Amendment in response to President Trump's rhetoric this week are themselves engaging in intemperate and inflammatory language and calling for action that is equally irresponsible and could well incite further violence" (Tweet) – via Twitter. {{Cite tweet}}: |date= / |number= mismatch (help)

What is the point of this sentence?

"Brady believes policies enacted by the Trump administration, including the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, helped put the U.S. economy in a robust position going into the COVID-19 pandemic."

That sentence is especially problematic when you recall the Trump administration was woefully unprepared for the COVID pandemic, so what gives?

When I first read it I thought it sounded like propaganda. But after reading it a few more times it might just be a less than carefully crafted sentence. Either way it could use some clarification. I know I can do that myself but if it were me I'd delete it, there is no point worth making in my opinion (i.e. "Brady thinks Donald's tax cutes were good!" begs the response - "who cares?" or why should we care what Brady thinks of Donald's tax cuts. Is it noteworthy? No doubt all Republicans have a "Donald's tax cuts created this miracle or that amazing result or cured my aunt Edna's gout, but is it really noteworthy? If it is indeed intended to be propaganda it should be removed, if it's supposed to add value or is deemed noteworthy that should be put in the article so it doesn't sound like propaganda (or fan fluff). Anyhow, I'm not going to try and improve it because I can't imagine how. It seems utterly irrelevant and without merit. Carry on! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:8081:8740:51F:358B:E5FB:9E22:D71B (talk) 21:36, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fort Hood

I am very disappointed to say the least in our conservative leaders in this state, House and Senate alike for allowing the woke left in this country to change the name of Fort Hood. To change the name is bad enough in its self but to change it to a hispanic name is in my opinion insult to injury. As far as I know nobody was asked their opinion much lessl allowed to vote on this matter which I believe would have been the way for this to be done. As it was it was just forced upon us as more and more things are being done these days and none of our so called conservative leaders are doing a damned thing about it. 2600:100D:B060:1D32:5334:9599:D75B:6906 (talk) 20:49, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
