1/2 THE CONQUEST OF TEXAS And the Republicans Who Allowed It. I never thought I would watch the Islamic and Marxist threat seize large parts of our great nation. For years we have seen the damage this alliance has done to Europe, and now we are witnessing the same damage unfolding in the blue states. What I never fully understood until recently is how deeply this threat is already embedded - and how rapidly it is gaining power - inside red states. The more I look, the clearer it becomes: the most important states are under the heaviest assault. Especially Texas. And yet you almost never hear the most powerful leaders in those states speak out against the Islamic part of this deadly alliance. We are watching churches converted in droves. Foreign Islamic holidays - some of them barbaric - are being officially celebrated on American soil. Organizations with terror ties receive nonprofit status and political access while most elected officials either pander or look the other way. Our own tax dollars help their madrasas expand. Does anyone even care what is happening to the children trapped inside these abusive training schools that pump out imams? Your state has Sharia courts, Sharia judges, and Sharia patrols - and not one has been shut down. If it were not for ordinary citizens sounding the alarm day after day, our leaders would still be pretending nothing is happening. Even now, as people scream about these problems, the response from those with real power remains minimal. Have we lost our minds? Have we forgotten how Christians are treated under this ideology? Have we forgotten how every other non-Muslim is treated? Have we forgotten that the very freedoms we hold sacred are being used to undermine our communities? I have put my livelihood, my career, and my life on the line to speak out in an industry that has little interest in supporting conservatives. I do it because I want a future for my children - and for every American child - that still looks like the beautiful America I grew up in. Not a country sliding toward the next Britain or the next Pakistan, complete with mass grooming gangs, officials who look away or cover it up, and leaders who treat Christians, women, and all non-Muslims as second-class citizens. Our political leaders should be sounding the alarm - screaming from the mountaintops. When I look at the single most important red state in America - Texas - and see how little has actually been done while this threat expands and consolidates power, I feel a personal responsibility. I travel all across this country, and one consistent question I hear from citizens is: “What the heck is happening in Texas?” Texans themselves tell me they are scared. People working inside the government offices of the highest officials who feel powerless ask me to keep speaking out. They want their leaders to act and fear retribution if they speak out. So I will keep speaking until every Texas politician takes this transformation seriously and understands the threat that every Texas citizen is up against - because this threat is advancing. What I find especially alarming is how some state leaders and their proxies are more worried about how this message might affect the next election than about the threat itself. What should concern every Texan is the protective circle around their most powerful elected leaders - Ken Paxton, Greg Abbott, and Dan Patrick. That circle will leap into action to shield them and protect the reputations of thoese men, while doing nothing to protect the average Christian Texan from this danger. You know it is bad when even people in their inner circles are calling me asking for help. One thing I know: the Americans who have supported me all these years are the ones who show up and vote. They care deeply about Texas. But they are tired of showing up for political leaders who refuse to show up with the same strength and urgency.

The only one I hesitate with is #7. I'd prefer to reform the senate, as opposed to completely getting rid of it. I'd like to see 10 elected senators. We need something to counter balance the House of Commons. Ultimately, these are just stop-gap measures. Confederation is a failed experiment, and Alberta independence is the only path forward.

America was not inherited. It was designed. This is the most important difference between the American political system and every European one – and it explains almost everything about how they behave differently under pressure. The European systems are the accumulated result of centuries of people grabbing, protecting, and occasionally reforming their privileges. The castle became the parliament. The knight became the aristocrat became the bureaucrat. The physical hierarchy of the medieval order dissolved slowly into the institutional hierarchy of the modern state – but the direction of power never fundamentally changed. It flows downward. The state is the source. The citizen is the recipient. Rights are granted, regulated, and can be revoked. The government rules. The people, from time to time, get to choose which version of the ruling class they prefer. But not too much. America reversed the direction deliberately, constitutionally, and in writing. Power flows upward from the citizen. The government does not grant rights – it is created specifically to protect rights that exist before it and above it. The Bill of Rights is not a list of things the government allows you to do. It is a list of things the government is forbidden to touch. The distinction is not semantic. It is civilizational. The founders had read their history. They designed against the accumulation of power: separation of powers, checks and balances, federalism, the armed citizen as the ultimate check on all of it. Not a perfect system. A system designed to be imperfect in a specific way – to make the concentration of power difficult, slow, and visible. Europe reformed its inherited systems. America built from first principles. The European instinct was to trust the institution. The American instinct is to limit it. The gun is the symbol of the difference – not as a weapon but as a principle. In America, the citizen is armed because the citizen is sovereign. In Europe, the citizen is disarmed because the state is sovereign. Everything else follows from that single difference in the direction of power.

The gun is the most misunderstood object in Western civilization. Not a weapon. A technology. The technology that made the idea of equality physically real. 1. The longbow democratized warfare – a peasant could kill a knight with a stick and a string, and Agincourt proved it. The gun completed the process. The armored warrior class whose claim to social dominance rested on physical superiority became obsolete. The aristocratic monopoly on violence ended not with a philosophy but with a mechanism. The gun is the physical enforcement of the idea that all men are created equal. Which is why the American founders put it in the second amendment – not as an afterthought, but as the guarantee of everything else. 2. The Roman citizen had the right to bear arms. The Greek citizen had it. The English yeoman had it. The Swiss canton built its entire civilization on it. The disarming of the population has always been, in every civilization, in every century, the first act of the government that intends to stop being answerable to that population. Show me a disarmed population and I will show you a population that lost something else shortly after. 3. The Second Amendment is not about hunting. It is not about sport. It is about the relationship between the armed citizen and the state – the explicit constitutional acknowledgment that the citizen’s right to defend himself, his family, and his civilization against any threat, including the government itself, is not granted by the state and cannot be revoked by it. Power flows upward from the armed citizen, not downward from the armed state. 4. The gun defends the family. The woman alone with her children. The farmer on the edge of civilization. The shopkeeper in the neighborhood the police no longer patrol. The gun is the equalizer – the technology that makes the physical difference between a large man and a small woman irrelevant. Every argument for disarmament is, at its core, an argument that the state will protect you better than you can protect yourself. The evidence for this proposition is not encouraging. 5. In Europe, the disarmament is now nearly complete – and it happened precisely as the state’s ability and willingness to protect its citizens began to decline. The timing is not coincidental. A population that cannot defend itself must trust the state to defend it – which is a population that cannot effectively question whether the state is doing so. The dependency is the design. 6. The gun is a civilizational technology in the deepest sense: it requires responsibility, judgment, and the willingness to accept the consequences of your decisions. You cannot outsource it. You cannot have a committee fire it. It is the most anti-bureaucratic object ever invented – a direct, personal, consequential instrument that puts the full weight of the decision on the individual holding it. Which is precisely why the administrative state finds it intolerable. Not because it is dangerous. Because it is sovereign. 7. The family that can defend itself does not depend on the state for its most fundamental security. The civilization that can defend itself has not yet outsourced its survival to an institution that will negotiate the terms of that survival on its own behalf. The gun determines who controls violence – and therefore who controls everything that violence can threaten. Which is everything. The Sobieski who rode down the hill had a sword and sixty thousand horsemen. The equivalent today is the armed citizen who understands what he is defending and why. Every civilization that forgot this discovered it the hard way. The ones that remembered it are still here.

The Forgotten War
The Forgotten War@ForgottenWarPic·
Lloyd Burke, a lieutenant from Arkansas that everybody called Scooter, was done with Korea. His thirteen month tour was over. He was standing at the command post with his orders in hand and a plane waiting to fly him home. All he had to do was get on it. Then word came back that his old company was stuck. G Company of the 5th Cavalry was trying to take a hill near Chong-dong and the Chinese had them pinned down cold, dug into bunkers, chewing the attack to pieces. The company was exhausted, bleeding, and going nowhere. Scooter Burke had a ticket out of the war in his pocket. He put it down and went forward to his men instead. What he did next reads like something out of a movie that nobody would believe. The attack was stalled by three enemy bunkers, so Burke went after them himself. He charged the first one alone and killed the crew. He charged the second one alone and killed that crew too. At the third bunker he threw grenades in, and when the enemy threw their grenades back at him, he caught them and threw them right back before they went off. Then he really got going. He grabbed a light machine gun, tore it off its mount, and started firing it from the hip as he walked into the enemy, carrying it in his arms like a rifle. He pulled the shattered company back together, got them up and moving again behind him, and led them up and over the hill. By the time it was finished, Scooter Burke had personally killed more than a hundred of the enemy and been wounded doing it, and the hill that had stopped a whole company was taken because one man who was supposed to be on a plane home decided he could not leave. And he lived. Burke got the Medal of Honor for it, stayed in the Army, and retired decades later as a full colonel with five Purple Hearts to go with the medal. The man who tore up his ticket home became a legend precisely because, when it counted, going home was the one thing he would not do.

@TaylorRMarshall You keep missing the point. Those “bad dad” bishops and popes back then were not teaching and promoting heresy. We are on uncharted territory in 2026!

Albigensians in AD 1220: “The bishops are gluttonous and luxurious, feasting on tithes. The priests keep concubines and don’t preach about Christ. Some rich men become bishops through simony!” It may have been true, but that doesn’t mean that the Albigensians were the true Christians with the true church. Stay in the Catholic Church. Pray for the Pope.

Well, I have some news that's going to make some people uncomfortable... My wife and I are pulling our youngest out of North Carolina public schools and my wife will be homeschooling him. And no, we're not sorry about it. We didn't come to this decision lightly. We prayed on it, argued about it, ran the numbers, lost sleep over it. But every road led back to the same common theme: nobody on God's green earth loves that boy more than his mother and I do, and nobody is more responsible for who he becomes than us. Yet, rather ironically, despite believing this somewhere along the way, we handed that responsibility to strangers and... trusted them with it. His mind. His values. His time. His education. His TRUTH. ...and this past year, for the first time, we stopped and asked whether they'd earned that trust. We don't think they did. So we're taking it back. Yeah, we're scared. Scared we'll get something wrong. Scared of the workload. Nervous about what people will say. But I'll take the fear of us doing it ourselves over the quiet horror of watching our son be indoctrinated in utter BS woke nonsense and be laughed at for believing in God and mocked for liking President Trump (all of which occurred this year. So yeah, he's going to read the hard books. The ones they'd rather he didn't. He's going to learn history that hasn't been run through an anti-White woke filter. He's going to know exactly where he comes from and what he believes. Most importantly, he's going to grow up watching his mother choose him, to spend every day, all day with him, over what was easy. They had their shot. They blew it. We've got him from here. 🇺🇸

🚨🇺🇸 🇮🇷: Trump reportedly called off the massive attack on Iran because America is running low on Patriot interceptors... -Per the NYT, Trump has set aside plans to sharply escalate the war, persuaded in part by his military advisers' warnings about the Pentagon's diminished stockpile of Patriot interceptors -Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine privately cautioned that major combat operations were doable but would DANGEROUSLY deplete the interceptors defending U.S. troops in Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, and the UAE -The math behind the warning: more than 1,200 Patriots fired this war at over $4 million apiece, with inventories "worrisomely low" in April and worse since -Few if any in Trump's inner circle backed escalation, with one senior official saying the strikes keep Iran cohesive and focused on an external threat, the opposite of the intent -Kushner and other advisers pushed the alternative: longer-term negotiations and economic pressure, with Bessent noting China already cut Iranian crude purchases roughly 40% -The White House's framing: Trump "prefers a diplomatic solution" but retains all options, and Iran "knows what will happen" The war's biggest decision came down to battle arithmetic NOBODY could spin. A bigger campaign means bigger Iranian barrages, and the interceptors that eat those barrages are running out at $4 million a shot. Three soldiers died when one missile slipped through defenses working at full strength. Caine's warning is what that math looks like briefed to a president, and for once the brief won.

Premiers have confidence in Mark Carney and that his trade deals will put us in a position of strength negotiating with America. Praised by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith: ​"Americans have perceived us as being weak. I mean, you hear it. They think that our economy will collapse if we don't come to a, to an agreement. The Prime Minister has spent the, the last year or, and a bit doing, is setting up new trade negotiations, new trade partnerships. He's got 20 additional trade relationships that represent a market of 3 billion people. And every time I meet with a new ambassador, they know who Canada is, they know what we have to offer, and they know, especially whether it's energy or critical minerals, or or food products, they know those are the kind of products they want. So, that goes into a negotiation from a position of strength." The thing is that they are mostly MOUs and it will take us another 10 years to build new export capacities if we start building today which we are not, while adding new red tape. Canada will need to add another $1T in debt by then to sustain and build things with no way to pay for it.
