@GovHotWheels_TX When was the profile name changed LOL !!!

The safety and security of Texans is Governor Abbott's top priority. That’s why Governor Abbott has directed the Texas Department of Public Safety to expand the Texas Repeat Offender Task Force -- a joint task force between federal, state, and local law enforcement officers with a clear mission: to target repeat violent offenders who are released back into our communities only to reoffend and threaten innocent lives. The immediate expansion will extend beyond the Houston area, where the task force was first set up, and will now include the Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio, and Austin metropolitan areas.

@RetailBrokerHTX OZ 2.0?

So apparently this is the spot Elon is wanting to acquire for his Terafab factory in Grimes County I’m intrigued. Seems like this is awfully rural to be able to set up a work force, and highway 30 through here’s not exactly impressive infrastructure What do y’all think of this?

@realEstateTrent I got a similar response from a guy that owns an apartment complex, businesses, a ranch, and.... Rents hundreds below market. Won't sell bc he's passing it to his kids and doesn't want to pay taxes.

This morning I asked someone if they'd be open to selling me their strip center. Here was their response:

@SenMikeLee Part of the Color Revolution. Illegals were just a distraction.

H-1B should only be used to fill extraordinary gaps in our workforce. It was not meant for the wholesale displacement of Americans in their own industries. Time for a long, long H-1B pause.

@JakehellerAI Couldn't read the words in the video

@scaCarlos It’s a video. What do you mean?

We just put together the most comprehensive video on using claude design for commercial real estate marketing material (investor decks, BOVs, websites...etc) It's a must see... Link below!

@AshCrypto Where's 55

Massive reversal in Bitcoin. Bitcoin closes weekly candle above $82,000 for the FIRST TIME since January 26th. Read this until the end to fully understand the situation. - Trading at $82,200 just above Rising wedge - Weekly MACD just printed a bullish crossover - RSI has jumped to 52, entering bullish territory - Trading above Weekly MA 20 first time in 2026 Support : $74,000 The next 4 days will be important as Senate Banking Committee votes on the Clarity Act on May 14. US Markets just delivered their 6th consecutive weekly green candles and If we see stability in the US stock market this week, fresh capital could rotate into crypto. However, any major drop in US stocks will likely hurt crypto as well. Key points that can’t be ignored: - Russell 2000 took 5 years (instead of the usual 4) for a multiyear breakout and is now trading near all-time highs - ISM has printed above 52 for four consecutive months — near its 45-month high (ISM above 56 has historically triggered parabolic moves in crypto) - Core inflation is near its 60-month low - New Fed Chair could be selected in the next Few weeks - M2 money supply is near all-time highs The setup is getting very interesting. Let’s hope this is not a Sunday pump and Monday dump situation.

@Polymarket Now do congress

JUST IN: Virginia Democrats propose lowering the mandatory retirement age for state Supreme Court justices from 75 to 54.

@Brick_Suit @drawandstrike I said something similar about monero and other cashless things when I could have gotten Bitcoin for pennies or even free a decade and a half ago.

Lib household in 2038. 18 year old: "Mom, how can I access the free money in my Trump Fund?" Lib Mom: "You can't honey. President Trump supported it so I never signed you up."

@EchoesofWarYT @drawandstrike The Daughters of the American Revolution recognized my 4th ggf, Leonardo Hipolito de la Garza (who was baptized in what became the Alamo), for his assistance to Galvez.

245 years ago today, a 35-year-old Spanish nobleman fired a single artillery shell that redrew the map of North America, broke British power in the Gulf of Mexico, and arguably saved the American Revolution. His name was Bernardo de Gálvez. He's not in your textbook. He should be. When Spain entered the war against Britain in June 1779, the American cause was bleeding out. Washington's army was unpaid and shrinking. The Continental dollar was worth pennies. The British had taken Savannah and were preparing to take Charleston. France was helping, but France alone couldn't bankrupt the British Empire. Spain could. And in New Orleans sat the man who would prove it. Bernardo de Gálvez y Madrid was 33 years old, the governor of Spanish Louisiana, a battle-scarred career officer who had been wounded fighting Apaches in northern Mexico and Algerians in North Africa. The day he learned Spain had declared war, he didn't wait for orders from Madrid. He raised an army of Spanish regulars, Louisiana Creoles, free Black militia from New Orleans, Acadian refugees, German settlers, and Choctaw scouts, and he went on the attack. In three months he took Manchac, Baton Rouge, and Natchez. The next year he took Mobile. The British presence on the Gulf shrank to one last fortress. Pensacola, the capital of British West Florida, defended by Major General John Campbell with 1,500 redcoats, the 3rd Waldeck Regiment of German mercenaries, loyalist battalions from Maryland and Pennsylvania, and a powerful alliance of Creek and Choctaw warriors led by the brilliant mixed-race chief Alexander McGillivray. Gálvez arrived off Pensacola in March 1781 with 7,000 men and a fleet. The Spanish naval commander, Admiral Calbo de Irazábal, refused to enter Pensacola Bay. The entrance was narrow, raked by British guns at Fort Barrancas Coloradas, and treacherous with sandbars. So Gálvez did something insane. He boarded his own little brig, the Galveztown, hoisted his personal pennant, and sailed her into the bay alone, in full view of the British batteries, daring the Royal Navy to sink him. The British fired and missed. The Spanish fleet, shamed, followed him in. For this he was awarded the right to put the words "Yo Solo," meaning "I alone," on his coat of arms by the King of Spain. The siege ground on for two months. Gálvez was shot in the abdomen and the finger directing artillery and refused to leave the field. The British defenses at the Queen's Redoubt, also called the Crescent, held against everything thrown at them. And then, on the morning of May 8, 1781, a Spanish howitzer crew lofted a shell over the parapet. It dropped, by pure luck or perfect skill, directly into the open powder magazine. The explosion killed roughly 100 defenders in a single instant. Waldeck grenadiers, British regulars, loyalists, all gone. The blast tore the redoubt's wall open like paper. Spanish grenadiers and Louisiana militia poured through the breach within minutes and turned the captured British guns on the inner works. Campbell knew it was over. The next morning, May 9, white flags went up. By May 10 the entire province of West Florida belonged to Spain. Over 1,100 British troops marched out as prisoners of war. The strategic consequences were catastrophic for Britain. The Gulf Coast was lost. The Mississippi was a Spanish river from source to sea. Britain could no longer reinforce its southern armies by sea from the Caribbean, and the Royal Navy's Caribbean squadron had to be redeployed. Five months later, Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown, in a siege funded in part by 500,000 silver pesos that Gálvez and the people of Havana raised in a matter of days to pay French Admiral de Grasse's fleet to come north. Without that money, no French fleet. Without the French fleet, no Yorktown. Without Yorktown, no independence on those terms. Gálvez was made Count of Gálvez and Viscount of Galveztown. The bay he charted in Texas still bears his name, Galveston. His portrait hangs in the United States Capitol by act of Congress. In 2014, he was made an honorary citizen of the United States, an honor given to only eight people in American history, including Lafayette, Churchill, and Mother Teresa. He died of yellow fever in Mexico City at 40 years old, three years after the war ended. Most Americans have never heard his name.

I'm looking into buying a bank. It's part of my picks and shovels thesis that includes working/income-producing ranch/farmland and certain trades like hvac and plumbing. There's a ton of space for improvement plus regulatory changes are opening the door to so much more. Custody bitcoin, crypto, precious metals, fiat. Fractionalization/tokenization. Lending. Debanking protection. Get ahead of stodgy institutions. Less big bank hassles. More private banking vibes.

What is the best bank for real estate GPs that are active in multiple states?

Wish I had known about this Sons of the American Revolution event. My mom and I attended the Daughters of the American Revolution ceremony March 2024 at the Texas State Cemetery in Austin honoring my 4th great grandfather, Leonardo Hipolito de la Garza, and other Spanish Patriots of the American Revolution for their contributions and support of the war effort. Their names were supposed to be added to a monument later. Leonardo was baptized in 1731 at Mission de Valero (what became the Alamo) in San Fernando de Bexar. The "Texas Connection with the American Revolution" shows my 4th ggf and others contributed money and livestock and participated in roundups and cattle drives for Bernardo de Galvez (my 8th cousin 4 times removed).

@follard Congrats. And Kolaches too no doubt.

First land flip is complete (and closed Friday). 213 days ago, we purchased a teardown sitting on 3 lots in West, TX. Bought the lots for $103,000 (combined), spent another $7,000 on demo / site work and sold all three lots to the same developer for $125,000. We netted $9,175 after our splits with the builder who brought us the deal. Cash on cash of 8.3% and an IRR of 14%. Not a home run but not a bad trade! Let's build! 🛠️

@sukh_saroy My number only shows up on two of those (one link each). Has said it belongs to some Asian guy at a different address for years. mwahahaha

Your phone number is sitting on at least 8 data broker websites right now. Whitepages. Spokeo. BeenVerified. TruePeopleSearch. FastPeopleSearch. Intelius. PeopleFinders. USPhoneBook. Your name. Your address. Your relatives. Your past addresses. Your age. Your employer. Anyone in the world can pull it up in 30 seconds for free. You can wipe yourself off all of them. Free. Takes 20 minutes. Here's the exact process for every site: This isn't paranoia. The FTC has confirmed that scammers, stalkers, and identity thieves use these data broker sites as their first stop before any attack. They get your full name, your address, your phone, your relatives' names, and use it to bypass security questions, social engineer your bank, and show up at your door. Even federal judges have had their home addresses pulled from these sites and used to track them down. One judge's son was murdered because of it. If it's worth doing for them, it's worth doing for you.

@MyLordBebo waterboy-bot

🇨🇳 MirrorMe showed their humanoid robot Bolt accelerate to 36 km/h (22 mp/h) Bolt is a humanoid robot focused on speed, height 177 cm (5 feet 9.7 inches) and weight 75 kg (165 pounds) Only Olympic athletes like Usain Bolt could outrun the bot, but also … only for a short time.

I'm just gonna let these speak for themselves.

@SecRollins @SecKennedy @calleymeans @DrMakaryFDA @WhiteHouse @USDA Any true Ag person would demand Country of Origin on all meat

@thewillcrozier Indeed! I'll be posting another map later. Your reply will still be 100% accurate.

@scaCarlos What a stark image. Wow.

What do you think it looks like south of the border
