Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton Impeached, Temporarily Suspended Pending Senate Trial

The Texas House of Representatives took the unprecedented move to impeach Attorney General Ken Paxton on Saturday following an investigation into allegations of corruption.

After the 121-23 vote, in which two members voted present, Paxton was temporarily suspended from his office as he now has to wait for a trial in the Senate.

Paxton faced 20 articles of impeachment. The articles allege that Paxton committed a number of infractions, including violating the state’s whistleblower law, entering “into a settlement agreement with the whistleblowers that provides for payment of the settlement from public funds,” violating the Securities Act, and other activities.

Axios noted that Paxton is only the “third state official in Texas history to be impeached,” following a former governor in 1917 and a judge in 1975.

Following the impeachment, Paxton issued a tweet claiming that the impeachment is “illegal, unethical, and profoundly unjust.”

I am beyond grateful to have the support of millions of Texans who recognize that what we just witnessed is illegal, unethical, and profoundly unjust. I look forward to a quick resolution in the Texas Senate, where I have full confidence the process will be fair and just. pic.twitter.com/fEiAroA2DW

On Tuesday, it was revealed that the state House Committee on General Investigating was probing Paxton’s attempt to settle a 2020 lawsuit using an alleged $3.3 million in public money. As part of its investigation, the committee has subpoenaed Paxton’s office for records.

Four former employees of the attorney general’s office brought the suit in 2020, claiming they were retaliated against after accusing Paxton of corruption. The state legislature refused to fund the settlement, so the case continues to work its way through the courts.

‘People With Female Sex Organs’: Major Feminine Product Maker’s Latest Attack On Girls And Women

What is a woman? It looks like the tampon maker Always doesn’t even want to use that word anymore, let alone answer that question.

On Friday, the Daily Mail reported that one of the world’s top suppliers of menstrual and other sanitary products released its annual pamphlet used to help young girls learn about their changing bodies. Except this year, the pamphlet didn’t mention women or girls even once. Instead, they were labeled “people with female sex organs.”

Why? Well, under leftist lunacy, women can become men. Which means that teenage girls can become teenage boys. Ergo, using the word “woman” or “girl” is a no-no. What makes this all especially creepy is that this pamphlet, titled, “Puberty and Confidence Guide for Everyone” is meant for middle schoolers and high schoolers. In other words,  Always, which is owned by Procter & Gamble, is endorsing and supporting teenagers undergoing sex rejection and gender-denial procedures and abuse.

Per the Daily Mail, multiple teachers were mortified when they opened the pamphlets that they were supposed to provide to their pupils.

One educator said that the literature was obviously confusing.

“I think girls will struggle to understand how this relates to their own body and their own experience,” the teacher told the outlet.

For example, in one section it says, “Every month, bodies with female sex organs prepare for pregnancy.”

“‘Bodies with female sex organs’ may not be immediately identifiable as a girl according to a child’s understanding, particularly if English isn’t their first language or a child has additional learning needs,” the teacher added.

Another anonymous teacher also said, “Sadly, this is yet another example of companies attempting to erase women and disregarding their needs in a rush to appease trans activists.”

In Always’ case, the company quite literally erased the word “woman” from their packaging in 2019.

Perhaps it is time that Always, and its parent company Procter & Gamble, get the Bud Light treatment.
