The Texas resistance by Texas Constitutional Enforcement to the Great Reset, ESG, and World Economic Forum implemented via financial/corporate means is founded upon the truth that @robbystarbuck states here.

@gshekdud @lukemaciastx @BucyForTexas @jamestalarico I forgot about Bucy. Don’t count Talarico because’ like Turner, he will not be in the 90th Lege.

@tomgglass @lukemaciastx Well Tom we could include @BucyForTexas or @jamestalarico but I'm assuming you're talking about straight men who don't have concerning things on their hard drive right?

The tribune is trying to cover up the race war going on in the Texas Democrat Party.

@bill__white @brentmoney Sharia is an enemy of the Constitutions of Texas and the United States. Commitment to Sharia is seditious and treasonous.

Why is Rep. Salman Bhojani starting this caucus? The Texas House already has a caucus focusing on religious freedom. It’s called the Sharia-Free Texas Caucus. Every member who is serious about religious liberty should help us drive Sharia and its adherents out of our state.

I am still trying to separate out the issues and the players that will be in play at the RPT State Convention, but I know there is a perpetual war between the swamp and the grassroots for the attention and actions of Texas elected officials. Over the last decade, the grassroots have taken over statewide RPT leadership and used the RPT to push elected officials to pay attention to and act for the principles, priorities, and platform of the RPT. This news says that the grassroots needs to be paying attention, using discernment, and preparing for action. I think separating personalities from principles in the determination of the motivation of those seeking leadership positions will be the most difficult part of the exercise. But, if we are going to continue to make conservative gains for the benefit of our posterity in Texas, we must do the hard work of researching, focusing, discerning, and acting in the RPT convention process.

Reminds me of the Scorpion and the Frog: A scorpion wants to cross a river but can't swim. It sees a frog on the bank and asks, "Will you carry me across on your back?" The frog replies, "No way! You'll sting me and I'll die." The scorpion reasons, "If I sting you while we're in the river, we'll both drown. That would be stupid. I promise I won't sting you."The frog thinks it over and agrees. Halfway across the river, the scorpion stings the frog anyway. As the frog is dying and sinking, it gasps, "Why? You promised! Now we'll both die!" The scorpion replies, "I couldn't help it. It's in my nature." The lesson? Don't bet your life, the life of those who you love, or the country that you love on the rationality or kindness of those whose nature is destructive. Empathy with or tolerance of such really is suicidal.

He was given the keys to the Cathedral by the priests. They put him in charge of locking up and gave him verger duties. After he set it on fire, destroying the organ and organ loft, Fr Maire offered him a safe haven in his home to await trial. He proceeded to murder Fr Maire.

@TracesofTexas "We Will Never Pass This Way Again" was the theme song for my high school graduating class at Odessa Permian in 1975. I still have one of Seals and Croft's vinyl albums that I played a lot back in the day.

Y'all, Dash Crofts has died at the age of 87. Dash, shown here on the right with musical partner Jim Seals, was half of the iconic 1970s soft rockers Seals and Crofts. Both Dash and Jim were Texans. “Dash” Crofts, whose real name was Darrell, was born in Cisco, Texas on August 14, 1940, alongside his twin sister, Dorothy. The nickname “Dash” stems from his mother, who entered the twins in a beauty contest when they were babies, under the names Dot and Dash. Crofts played baseball and took piano lessons at five years old before pivoting to drums. He was two years older than Jim Seals, who grew up an hour south in Sidney, Texas. They met while they were both in the local band the Crew Cats, and later joined the Champs, moving to California. They had a monster hit song, "Tequila," as part of the Champs. “The song took off and scared the s**t out of all of us,” Crofts told Rolling Stone in 1971. “We were literally stars overnight. In one sense, I guess it was a fantastic experience. We were awfully young, the whole rock scene was really innocent, we met a lot of different people and went to a lot of places. But God, it was a hard life. Hard in every way. We were constantly on the road in a bus.” In 1969, the two formed Seals and Crofts and hit the big time with "Summer Breeze (makes me feel fine)," "Diamond Girl," "We Will Never Pass This Way Again," and "Get Closer," earning four gold albums, two platinum albums, and two Grammy nominations. In 1983, the pair went their separate ways before reuniting in the 1990s and, in 2004, they teamed up for their first album since 1980 with "Traces." Jim Seals died in 2022. RIP Dash Crofts!

I remember in 1993 enjoying the well acted & engaging The Fugitive, but thinking that the plot of Big Pharma framing an honest doctor who was on to their corruption and murdering in the cover-up was a bit farfetched. I don't think it farfetched at all, now.

Unreal. The Lancet keeps doing this - see Wuhan virus. If the scientist is in the club they're in the journal. Isn't science built on papers published in this corrupt system? Huge

In another forum, I got asked whether focus on the legislative priorities of the RPT was worth the effort, given that the establishment that ignores the priorities largely held its own in the 2026 GOP primaries. As a GOP primary candidate for Texas House who ran unsuccessfully on the fact that I would support Republican priorities and that the incumbent I challenged teamed with Democrats for power, reducing the amount of conservative legislation needed, many might think that I am discouraged about staying active in the legislative priorities process and in seeking to influence the Texas state government, especially the legislature to pass conservative legislation. I am not discouraged. I still consider the RPT legislative priorities process to be the most effective way to get the conservative legislation we need to insure that our posterity stays free. I understand that there is a perpetual war for the attention of legislators between special interests (aka the swamp) and the grassroots who want constitutional, limited government and conservative policy to be implemented into law and enforced. Thomas Paine said in The Crisis, “What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated.” I want every Republican legislator (and the governor and the lieutenant governor, for that matter) to look at the RPT legislative priorities as their marching orders from the voters who focus the most on state public policy in Texas. That goal has not been reached, but what the RPT legislative priorities and the advocacy by the grassroots for them has achieved is that Texas legislative leadership look at the RPT advocates for the priorities as stakeholders that they need to pay homage to and balance in addition to the special interests that fund their campaigns and the lobbyists that show up all the time in their offices and in hearings. We grassroots have not gotten everything we have asked for, nor will we in the future, but by our persistent asking for what we want, we have significantly moved the needle in our direction, and will continue to do so if we persist. It takes work and focus and grit to and persistence to move liberty forward. The legislative priorities process of the RPT is the most effective way to achieve that progress.

@amuse Advocacy of Sharia is to betray the oath to the Constitution, and is therefore seditious and grounds for removal from the military and the country.

ISLAMIFICATION: Islamic soldiers are beholden to Sharia before their commanders. This should be disqualifying. Anyone who believes in Sharia should be separated from the military. Start with her…

@KenPaxtonTX One of the reasons it took six sessions for @SenBobHall , @TanParkerTX & those of us who care about protecting the Texas grid from solar flares, EMP, and other hazards to pass grid-protecting legislation was because Kelly Hancock killed the bill in two of those sessions.

Kelly Hancock is a Never Trumper and an incompetent loser who's an embarrassment to the position of Chief Clerk that he holds. To protect Texans' tax dollars, I am officially calling for Governor Abbott to immediately replace him with the person Texans actually voted for to be Comptroller, Don Huffines. Kelly Hancock was rejected by Texans because he failed to do his job. He failed to take me down during impeachment, and his career is over. It's time for him to be fired.

@hollyshansen @KenPaxtonTX @JohnCornyn Anyone who knows @KenPaxtonTX 's grit should not be surprised by this. Like Trump, Paxton never quits in the face of Deep State/establishment/swamp attacks. I have told him that my nickname for him is "Stonewall Paxton."

.@KenPaxtonTX just retook the lead over @JohnCornyn in the GOP primary for US Senate on Kalshi’s online prediction market.

Given the systemic enablement of voting for illegals in other states (and the loopholes in Texas law enabling and not stopping the same), the future of the Union depends upon passing and enforcing common sense federal law requiring proof of citizenship and presentation of photo ID to vote.

RE: Data Republican I am a huge Data Republican (small r) (“DR”) fan. I know many of you are as well. But I’m not sure everyone fully understands the sheer bravery, brilliance and audacity of this deaf every-woman. You see, the government you elect is not what actually governs you. For every area of government (no matter how specialized or arcane), there are powerful lobbying groups, think-tanks, non-governmental organizations ("NGOs"), specialized media outlets, university-sponsored centers and other ostensibly "independent" organizations that act and behave as an unaccountable form of government outside the reaches of the electoral process. While these organizations claim to act in the public interest, each and everyone of them is a self-serving oligarchy that is designed solely to promote the interests of those on the inside--genuine public interest be damned. This is America of course, and freedom of speech and freedom of association are fundamental to our freedoms. However, over many decades, these organizations have found “legal” ways to obtain trillions of your taxpayer dollars in the form of “grants” for “studies,” “policy symposiums” and all manner of other taxpayer-funded activities designed specifically to circumvent the policies the American people VOTED FOR and to perpetuate policies and activities that the average American has explicitly rejected. These activities occur on both the Left and the Right, of course, but over time they have become the near exclusive domain of the Left. These organizations serve as taxpayer/Soros-funded, income-generating activities for Leftists whenever they are out of power, and if/when Leftists seize control of the Presidency or Congress, these organizations are the proverbial bullpens from which powerful Leftists full of the ideas you thought you once eliminated can storm right back into the actual process of governance, implementing all of those dark and mysterious policies that your tax dollars were secretly funding while the Leftists were otherwise off howling in the wilderness. Call it the Deep State. Call it unconstitutional. Call it theft of your hard-earned taxpayer dollars. Call it the evil of the Soros family. Call it what ever you will, but know this—it is a monstrous Leviathan sitting right outside the scope of your votes, dedicated to negating your votes at your own expense, in the most diabolical manner possible. It is the state outside the state. It is self-serving. It does not care about you. It only cares about itself. And its power is VAST. You see it right here on X—you see the swarms of fire ants that come spilling out with destruction in mind whenever anyone uncovers the anthill they are lurking under. And right at the heart of that is our hero, DR. I have been actively following politics virtually my entire life, and never before has there been anyone quite like DR. Through dispassionate data analysis, the smart use of AI and a relentless drive for fairness and justice, DR has done more to shine a light on the nature of this extra-governmental Leviathan than any other person I can ever recall. For her efforts, she has been doxxed by a mendacious Rolling Stone article. She has endured a concerted effort to destroy her husband’s totally unrelated business. She and her husband have received LITERALLY THOUSANDS of death threats. She and her family had to go into hiding. An ordinary woman would have backed down in fear. But not DR. They just made her mad. And an angry genius is an enemy no one wants to face. She still stares them down, day in and day out. Her book will be out soon. Buy it. Buy copies for your friends. Buy copies and leave them on street corners and airport tables. AMERICANS NEED TO KNOW THE TRUTH. DR’s book may well end up being the most important and influential American book on politics since “Common Sense." If America is going to survive, we must ALL shine a bright light on this extra-governmental Leviathan, grab a hold of its fangs, and drain the venom out of them. This is not playtime people. This is life and death. We glorify the warrior who does great deeds on the battlefield, as we should. But know that bravery comes in many forms, and as DR has stood in the fire and endured real threats to her life and existence, her audacious bravery is every bit as real as those heroes we see being decorated by the President. Right now, in the USA, no unelected person is doing more to ensure freedom than Data Republican. You can support her by subscribing to her account, but you can also support her by being as brave as she is. I aspire to maybe show such bravery myself some day. We all should aspire to that. One day she will earn the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Together we can defeat The Beast.

Note that stopping taxpayer services to illegals, which includes stopping free K-12 to illegals in a challenge to the wrongly Plyler v Doe, was in the Border Security legislative priority of @texasgop in both the 2023 & 2023 legislative sessions. While @RepHopper filed HB 4707 focused on free schooling for illegals, @olcott4texas also filed the broader HB 4745 that included stopping taxpayer funded schooling for illegals as well as welfare in general and health care at a county level. Neither conservative freshman received a hearing for their bills. Hopper's bill was assigned to Brad Buckley's Public Education Committee. Olcott's bill was assigned to Ken King's State Affairs.

Actually, yes, the TxLege DOES have a RINO problem, @StephenM. Good legislation dies because RINOs care more about protecting the Austin sewer than doing the will of Texans.

Christopher Hitchens: ”In 1786, when the United States was barely a country, it was having its sailors taken as slaves by the Barbary states, the states of the Ottoman Empire and North Africa. Tripoli, shores of Tripoli. Ships stopped, its crews carried off into slavery. We estimate 1.5 million European and American slaves taken between 1750 and 1815. Jefferson and Adams went to their ambassador in London and said, why do you do this to us? The United States has never had a quarrel with the Muslim world of any kind. We weren't in the crusades. We weren't at war with Spain. Why do you do this to our people and our ships? Why do you plunder and enslave our people? The ambassador said very plainly, Mr. Abdul Rahman said, because the Quran gives us permission to do so, because you are infidels, and that's our answer. Jefferson said, well, in that case, I will send a navy which will crush your state, which he did. Islamic fundamentalism is not created by American democracy. It's a lie to say so. It's a masochistic lie, and it excuses those who are the real criminals, and blames us for the attacks made upon us.”

This is big. Every GOP primary voter needs to know about how the Cornyn campaign participated in a shameful lie about a reputable pastor and Ken Paxton.
