Our incoming Texas Governor would like to end school choice, remarkably, she would also like to bring back abortions. So....she'll fight for your right to abort your baby, but if you don't abort, you shouldn't be able to choose the best school to educate them in.
Unless your wealthy, then you can. It's a strange world.

For the record, as NYC comptroller, Brad Lander oversaw the distribution of billions of dollars in tax money to nonprofits employing his wife as a consultant.
What was her role as consultant?
How to secure grants from the city.
I wish I was making that up, but that’s how out in the open corruption is in this city. Brad’s wife was/is well known as the queen of nonprofits. They made MILLIONS off this grift.
Now he’s lecturing us about the oath of office? Please.

Aside from breaking into your house, Raul didn’t break any laws once he was inside. In fact, after taking up residence in your basement, he was a dignified squatter— always picking up his cigarette butts and empty beer cans.
And since bringing his welfare momma into your house, they now have six children (if you’re wondering where your food has been going)— do you really want to kick a family out onto the streets?
It is our hope that the Dignity Act will give Raul and his family permanent legal residence and partial ownership of your house.
And if you don’t like it, we’ll be sure to let your boss know you have a problem sharing your home with Mexicans!
Well done, Mr. President!
What you described on 60 Minutes is what the Dignity Act is all about.
A Republican-led immigration bill with BIPARTISAN support.
“Get the killers out.” You said it. ABSOLUTELY!
You said it: Keep “good people working in a landscaping company, or working in a hotel” who have been contributing to America for years.
You said it: Those who have been here for 10 or 15 years: “Work a deal for them.”
That’s the core of the Dignity legislation.
Immigration is not just border security. It’s about the ECONOMY and AFFORDABILITY: housing, groceries, healthcare, manufacturing.
Mr. President, I have said it repeatedly. YOU can bring Republicans and Democrats together to finally fix our broken immigration system.
A 40-year problem.
You can surpass Reagan’s legacy by delivering a historic immigration reform.
This is your moment.

Islam must be defined correctly: a political order of a foreign state with a religious component.
Islam and every Islamic institution must be stripped of their tax benefits, and every faithful Muslim running for office in America must be seen as a foreign agent of a hostile foreign state.
Islam must be criticized openly, and anyone pushing for Islamophobia laws must be seen as a traitor to the West.
When al-Qaeda struck on 9/11, why did Western academia know so little about jihadism? @DanielPipes, @DanBurmawy, @AndrewPessin, @Richard_Landes and @zriboua examined the question at the Nineteenth Annual #ASMEAConference.

If a Democrat wins in 2028, understand that tens of millions of illegals will pour across our borders. Most of them (like under Biden) will stay forever.

Elon: builds incredible companies, is singlehandedly stopping the world from giving up on space and sinking into the dismal mud of the global favela
Democrats: doing everything possible to stop him because they desire the global favela above all else
SpaceX and Tesla have prospered in Texas, because we were not constantly operating under an oppressive and extractive state government.
And I need to be close to the factories, so that I can walk the floor in person. That’s why the first major SpaceX factory was in LA and first major Tesla factory was in SF Bay Area.
As California became increasingly difficult, due to extreme taxes and overregulation, we moved our major domestic expansions and HQ to Texas.

Every Republican legislature in America should immediately pass legislation to:
1) Ban sanctuary cities
2) Ban Ranked Choice Voting
3) Ban ballot harvesting
4) Require citizenship to vote
5) Require photo ID to vote
6) Ban the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact
7) Ban foreign entities from buying property
8) Suspend any gas taxes
9) Institute school choice
10) Abolish property taxes
11) Open non-juror records to public inspection
12) Mandate secretaries of state to share complete voter registration rolls with DOJ
13) Mandate voter roll list maintenance
14) Offer rewards for convictions involving fraudulent use of Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, Social Security, or other entitlements
15) Freeze rent increases
Republican governors would be wise to use this time to convene special sessions.

Completely hypothetical question: Suppose that someone today started a new religion that condoned pedophilia, viewed women as inferior, despised everyone who was not of their religion, hated dogs, desired to conquer every inch of the world, hated our culture, civilization, and heritage, was astoundingly illiberal, cut off the clitorises of five-year-old girls, along with 1,000,000 other pieces of evidence that were contrary to every one of your liberal values. Would you think it ok to ban it or should it be granted full freedom to take over our society?

All eight names are the 2026 Texas Democratic statewide ticket, run as a single coordinated slate. Every statewide executive office plus the U.S. Senate seat. Same ballot line, same campaign apparatus, same election night.
Shared campaign infrastructure. All eight were built into “Texas Together,” a $30M coordinated campaign the Texas Democratic Party ran jointly with the Texas Majority PAC, Powered by People (Beto O’Rourke’s group), and the Texas House Democratic Campaign Committee. Per the Tribune, they shared voter files, vendor agreements, field offices, and 30+ million mailers, and held joint rallies. That’s a literal shared-donor and shared-vendor pipeline — the party ran a competitive RFP and negotiated vendor pricing on their collective behalf.
Shared money. Texas Majority PAC is bankrolled by George Soros and family and staffed by O’Rourke campaign alumni; it covered candidate recruitment and start-up costs. Hinojosa took $1M from JB Pritzker and $1M from the Democratic Governors Association. Talarico drew Mark Cuban, Bill Nye, and Don Henley. All eight got bloc endorsements from the Houston Chronicle and Austin Statesman editorial boards.
Six of eight were sitting state legislators, all in the same Lege Democratic caucuses. Four of those six — Talarico, Hinojosa, Goodwin (House) and Eckhardt (Senate) — represent overlapping Austin/Travis County districts. Same media market, same donor Rolodex, same base.
The Texas Legislative Progressive Caucus. Hinojosa was a vice chair; Goodwin is the caucus whip. Talarico was the founding figure of the caucus (founded 2021, the session he entered). Goodwin and Eckhardt are both ranked among the most liberal members by Rice’s Mark Jones scores.
Dynasty ties to the party itself. Hinojosa’s father, Gilberto Hinojosa, chaired the Texas Democratic Party from 2012 to 2025 — the same party that built the coordinated campaign her ticket-mates rode. Eckhardt’s father was U.S. Rep. Bob Eckhardt. Johnson’s employer is Thompson Coburn LLP.
Shared platform and fate. All five legislators plus Tucker and Flores backed a data-center moratorium; the whole slate ran on affordability and anti-corruption. They won by 4.5 to 12 points and all take office in January.
Next, and most important, look for offshore accounts hidden by layers of shell companies and LLCs.
The release of the Panama Papers 3.0 is long overdue; it will shake Washington, DC, and the nation to its very core. Many family legacies and lifelong careers will end in a flash.
My last update was August 2026, when senior forensic investigators reviewing millions of documents found that 3,629 current politicians (including local, state, and federal governments, attorneys general, district attorneys, and 112 federal judges) have ‘hidden’ offshore bank accounts, using tactics to not only shield assets from judgments and prying eyes, but to circumvent taxes.
Not too bright. They are all using the same core group of a handful of offshore ‘asset protection’ firms. 🤡
The typical scheme these offshore ‘asset protection’ firms set up, costing their clients 6, even 7 figures in legal fees, can be as simple as:
Kickbacks/Dirty Money → Law Firm → Shell Company 1 (Panama) → Shell Company 2 (British Virgin Islands) → Shell Company 3 (Swiss Bank) → Legitimate Business, with additional loops like Shell Company 1 → Shell Company 3 and back.

The cartels made the Houston Mayor an offer he couldn’t refuse: “lead or gold.” Houston then declared itself a sanctuary city, and in January, the entire state of Texas will follow suit.
Pretty much every Texas Democrat who won in the midterms is on the payroll of the cartels, from the governor to the lieutenant governor to the attorney general, Comptroller, Land Commissioner, Agriculture Commissioner, Railroad Commissioner, multiple seats on the Texas Supreme Court and Court of Criminal Appeals; they flipped the Texas House and even elected a U.S. Senator, etc.
GPS—Roughly 200,000–250,000 adults with a felony conviction live in Houston — on the order of 1 in 7 to 1 in 8 adults in the city. For Harris County as a whole, that’s 400,000–500,000.
Scale: HPD sources put Houston at ~353 gangs and ~20,000 documented gang members (KHOU); the 2018 HPD gang map listed 140+ gangs. HPD’s Gang Division runs the Gang Tracker database and the Multi-Agency Gang Task Force.
Official Texas DPS threat tiers: Tier 1 (highest) = Tango Blast and its cliques (Houstone is the Houston clique and the largest gang in the region), Texas Mexican Mafia, Latin Kings, MS-13, Barrio Azteca. Tier 2 includes Aryan Brotherhood of Texas, Aryan Circle, Texas Syndicate, Bloods, Crips, Bandidos, Gangster Disciples.
Local/street sets: 5th Ward Circle, 52 Hoover Crips, 59 Bounty Hunters, 59 Piru, Southwest Cholos, La Primera, Treetop/Hilltop Bloods, Hiram Clarke 77, South Park 102 Neighborhood Piru, and dozens more cataloged on stophoustongangs.org — plus newer hybrid crews (Free Money, YNS) that drew federal RICO indictments in 2026, and the Homietos OMG.
Geography: Southwest Houston/Alief, Greenspoint, 5th/3rd Ward, South Park, Sunnyside, Hiram Clarke; suburban spillover into Katy and Cypress.
Houston, buckle up; no one is coming to save you. ☠️

The big difference between the affirmative action age of 1969-2012 and the DEI era of 2013-2023 is the former kept quotas on the downlow, while the latter trumpeted that racial preferences are good because whites are BAD and thus deserve to be cheated out of jobs.

e) Construction sites are ghost towns

H1B was supposed to be the very top tech talent, the superstars who would keep America dominant.
It was not supposed to be a million-man sweatshop gutting young American workers.
It's time to either drastically reform the H-1B visa program or end it all together. American workers in every industry should always come first.

The Sabatini case proves how female cruelty, sociopathy and crimes are excused without consequences, even if the victim is a world-class male scientist.
If the genders were swapped and two men were caught trying to destroy the life of a female colleague, drive her towards committing suicide and laughed throughout the ordeal — they'd be fired, investigated and exiled from public life by the next morning.
Since it was women, the institutions shrugged and allowed them to keep their jobs. This is not even an isolated incident as the pattern is consistent across institutions — male flaws are constantly checked and punished, while female crimes are constantly excused and ignored.

I have been waiting 24 years for my neighbor David Westerfield to be executed for the kidnapping and murder of my 7-year-old neighbor, Danielle van Dam. And now thanks to @GavinNewsom, it looks like it will never happen.
I was 13 when he abducted her from her bedroom in the middle of the night in 2002. I would never equate what I experienced with what her family suffered, but Danielle's murder devastated our whole neighborhood, and me personally. I was a sensitive kid and it was a major contributor to my mental health decline in adolescence.
In the 20 days between her disappearance and his arrest, I developed insomnia and spent those nights walking around the house checking the locks on the doors and windows. I followed the trial closely. As we learned the horrific details, I couldn't stop thinking about what she endured during the 3 days he had her.
Her body was found dumped off the side of a road 25 days after she went missing. It was too decomposed to test for sexual assault, but we all knew that's why he took her. He was also convicted of possessing child sexual abuse material found on his computer.
There was never any doubt about Westerfield's guilt. There was an abundance of forensic evidence, including her blood on his clothing and in his motorhome. In 2019, the California Supreme Court unanimously upheld his conviction and death sentence. Shortly afterward, Newsom imposed his moratorium. And now he does THIS.
California voters rejected abolishing the death penalty in both 2012 and 2016, and even voted to expedite executions. All these years, I've held on to the hope that someone would eventually take office who respected the will of California voters and would allow these sentences to be carried out.
It's especially insulting to hear Newsom go on about morality, as if he is morally superior to those of us whose lives were affected by these heinous crimes and who want to see the perpetrators brought to justice. I'm hoping the California Supreme Court can stop Westerfield's commutation.
