“There Is Something Fishy on the Final Census Results – There Should Be an Investigation or Litigation” – TX Gov. Greg Abbott Weighs in On Shocking Census Numbers
Governor Greg Abbott: Texas added more people in the last decade than any other state. People are moving here right and left. However, what happened this last year, the year of COVID, really accelerated all of that…
Maria Bartiromo: What about the census?… We saw changes in the census. And Republicans are looking at investigating this. Did you lose a congressional seat in Texas? What happened with the census numbers?
Governor Abbott: I think an investigation does need to be done. They need to do it very quickly because the time clock on this is short. But if you look at all the numbers of many red states, the initial assessment of the numbers of what the population growth was, was reduced by the final numbers. And then other blue states, they were supposed to be losing population. And suddenly they’re not losing as much as had been prognosticated. So there is something fishy about the final census results and it’s right that there should be an investigation and maybe even litigation to clarify what is exactly going on. Who changed the numbers? Why did they change it? Was it a valid change? Things like that.

Battle brews between conservative authors and mainstream publishers in era of cancel culture
"Conservative authors should have more self-respect than to accept money from people who hate them," said Adam Bellow, executive editor at Bombardier Books.
It's a contentious time for conservatives in the publishing industry, and it's a contentious time for publishing houses working with those in the conservative industry.
"As the cancel culture has revved up, the pressure has heated up on all of these big New York publishers," says Marji Ross, the former president of conservative Regnery Publishing.
In recent months, New York publishing house Simon & Schuster has canceled Missouri GOP Sen. Josh Hawley's forthcoming book about Big Tech, decided not to distribute a book written by the Louisville police officer who was shot while executing a no-knock warrant at the home of Breonna Taylor, signed a $3-4 million deal with former Vice President Mike Pence, and received a letter from more than 215 members of its staff demanding that the company not publish any books written by members of the Trump administration.
Publishing houses like Simon & Schuster will now have to decide whether they are "going to stick true to what they claim to be — diverse places that are platforms for all kinds of different voices" or become, instead, "mouthpieces for the left," Ross said during a recent appearance on "Just the News AM."
The president of Simon & Schuster is, for the moment, holding the line in defense of the Pence deal. And in mid-April, Trump Supreme Court pick Amy Coney Barrett signed a $2 million book deal with Penguin Random House, and former Attorney General Bill Barr has also reportedly signed a book deal.
But these deals notwithstanding, inside top-tier mainstream publishing houses it is next-to-impossible to generate excitement about conservative authors like Pence, Barr, and Coney Barrett, according to conservative publishing veteran Adam Bellow.
"When conservative editors come into a room to pitch their list, everyone is groaning," said Bellow, a former executive at HarperCollins and current executive editor at Bombardier, a conservative publishing imprint of Post Hill. Such editors are "barely tolerated" at most mainstream publishing houses, he said, and certainly have no real "clout, standing, or influence" within the company.
Asked about the seven-figure book deals going to some Trump administration officials, Bellow did not mince words. "Conservative authors should have more self-respect than to accept money from people who hate them," he said.
"There are a lot of ways to undermine a book, there are a lot of ways to pressure an author as to what is okay to say and what is not okay to say," Ross warns conservative authors tempted to collaborate with today's left-dominated mainstream firms. "At the very least, those authors are going to be working in very hostile territory."
Ross sees no upside in entrusting the fate of conservative books to ideologically hostile publishers. "I don’t think that’s good for those books," she said. "I don’t think it’s good for the conservative movement. I don’t think it’s good for those authors."
Of course, it's not bad for conservative authors' bank accounts — hence their dilemma: Larger publishing houses will almost invariably offer far higher book advances than smaller, conservative-leaning ones. "There’s always that question of whether you take the 30 pieces of silver," said Ross.
