Update: Daniel Perry, who was accused of driving through a crowd of protesters six years ago was found not guilty today. TRAVCO attorney filed misdemeanor deadly conduct charges against him after Governor Abbott pardoned Perry from a felony conviction.. @fox7austin

Hey @grok, this PHP bug was hiding in the internet for over 10 years. Experts even spotted it in 2024 and couldn’t break it. So how did hackers suddenly crack it now?

Early voting starts today in Texas. James Talarico, in his own words: On police: “It's always rich to me that defund the police is considered off limits...” On guns: Assault weapons ban? “Absolutely.” On ICE: “Tear down this secret police force.” On prison: “Prison is violence.” “People don't belong in cages.” Send this to a Texas voter.

The tragedy of it all is that rioting against inflation and cost of living by destroying stores just increases inflation and cost of living. Fiscal issues lead to social issues, which lead to more fiscal issues and more social issues.

Polska nie powtórzy błędów innych europejskich państw, nie będzie też za nie płacić. Twardo bronimy granicy przed nielegalną migracją, mamy własną politykę azylową (nie przyjmujemy wniosków), deportujemy tych, którzy łamią polskie prawo. W kwestii bezpieczeństwa będziemy bezwzględni. To usłyszeli ode mnie liderzy Europy w Brukseli.

Quote: “A flying car is what men do when they are free. A wealth tax is what politicians do to the men who built it. One of them needs the other to survive, and it isn't Musk.”
A car flew last night. An actual car, flipping in midair on cold gas thrusters and landing on its wheels. Elon Musk's companies built a sports car that does what science fiction promised for a century. The same man lands rockets on barges and builds the machines that carry our astronauts. That is what one free mind, and the thousands of minds he employs, can produce. Bernie Sanders says billionaires should not exist. He looks at the man who makes cars fly and concludes the problem to solve is that such men keep too much of what they create. He has spent five decades in government producing nothing, yet he claims the moral authority to dispose of the men who produce everything. A man who seeks unearned control over the lives and property of others is corrupt in the fullest meaning of the word, and that corruption runs deeper than any bribe. A flying car is what men do when they are free. A wealth tax is what politicians do to the men who built it. One of them needs the other to survive, and it isn't Musk.

Facts!
Replying to @GovHotWheels_TX
@GovHotWheels_TX is very accessible to Texans. That matters. Average folks with no connections can walk up to Gov Abbott at a pizza place in Tyler Texas where he is doing a press conference and ask him anything. I’ve seen it. #txlege

I've known @jamestalarico for nearly 20 years. When we were at @UTAustin in 2009, he ran the University Democrats and I ran the College Republicans. Although we disagreed, I once considered him a friend. But then he betrayed the entire student body for his own political gain.🧵

This is the best thing I've ever seen in my life... A Catholic woman left James Talarico SPEECHLESS live on CNN over his claims that the Bible doesn't condemn abortion. “The Bible is not silent, there is the Ten Commandments...Thou shalt not kill’.”

While smiling, Talarico lied to a veteran about his radical position against our commonsense Texas Voter ID Law.
Chief Rodrigo asks Talarico about the Save America Act, Talarico claims ignorance, supports "Fair voter ID" to include student ID. Talarico says he will do what's best for Texas.

JAMES TALARICO DOES NOT SUPPORT BORDER SECURITY: Talarico’s false claim that he called out the Biden Administration for failing on the border is nothing more than a #FakeNews political ad. His record shows that he labeled border security funding as “wasting money on dumb things,” and instead supported diverting $800 million in funds away from protecting our borders. He voted AGAINST creating a Border Protection Unit and he has called for “pathways” to citizenship, aka “AMNESTY” for illegal aliens. At least 25 million illegal aliens invaded the US during the 4 years of the disastrous Biden Administration and openly advocating for pathways to citizenship is NOT putting America First and will lead to the destruction of America as we know it. We CANNOT afford another disaster on our borders! @realDonaldTrump @TrumpWarRoom @RapidResponse47 @RNCResearch

The ATF NFA victory is awesome, but did you know Texas only recently removed SBRs from the prohibited weapons list in 2025? If Texas had not done that or the suppressor freedom bill in 2021, it would be illegal for us to have non-tax stamped suppressors and short barreled weapons without a tax stamp. Some great people paved the path in Texas for the federal victory we have today. The fight isn't over, but this is one of our biggest wins to date for the 2A community.

I’m heartbroken by the passing of @TxDPS Staff Sergeant Sterling Shelton after his courageous 15-month battle with brain cancer. I had the privilege of mentoring Shelton and serving as his counselor during Recruit School Class A-2019. I watched him begin his DPS career as a trainee and grow into a valued member of the Texas Rangers Special Operations Group. His strength, perseverance, and resilience reflected the character of a remarkable man. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, the DPS family, and the Northwest Texas community as they endure this difficult loss. I will always cherish the memories we shared and the privilege of being part of the beginning of his DPS career. He will always be remembered. End of Watch: October 8, 2026

Proof that you’re Gen X or older: You can watch a college football game between two teams you have no emotional connection to and enjoy it without needing money on the line. You can just enjoy the game for what it is. No bets. No gambling apps. Just football.
