The Constitution has been out of favor for some time now. Several presidents have decided that they can do as they please with regard to matters of war. And in the prior six years, both Joe Biden, a Democrat, and Donald Trump, a Republican, took it upon themselves to make momentous decisions without regard to the Congress, or the people. Joe Biden decided all by himself, to virtually erase the southern border, and millions poured in, edging the United States toward third-world status.

As a Texan, I know exactly what's at stake in this year's race for governor. My brother is one of the thousands of students who finally has access to a Texas Education Freedom Account (TEFA), but Gina Hinojosa wants to take that opportunity away. I know firsthand what a difference school choice can make. I attended public school most of my life, but by high school, the environment had become increasingly difficult. After I was physically assaulted, my family felt strongly discouraged from pressing charges. I was no longer comfortable learning in this environment.

Today, Texas is the top state for attracting new, job-creating business investment and the top state for small business job creation.
Rarely in American history have the two parties been so far apart or the choice between them so stark. In brief, Islamist-sympathizing socialism is on the ballot against free-market capitalism and American exceptionalism. The new Islamist-allied socialist Democratic Party is confident, largely because the party holding the White House has increased its share of House seats in a midterm election only three times since 1900. Each of those exceptions arose under unusual circumstances.

Two decades ago you had to call about three random numbers to get one to answer. By 2025, Pew Research had to reach about 140 random call numbers just to get one response. And now it’s 2026 — not 2016, 2008, or 1992. If pollsters botched election predictions back then – when people still answered phones and large demo groups still voted predictably — what do you think will happen when they don’t? Yet we’re still extrapolating polling predictions based on any weirdo who’ll to take a poll that 139 other people have already rejected!
Ever wonder why the Leftwing Establishment Media never criticizes or questions the new Socialists, Communists & Islamists that control and make up the Democrat Party? The New York Times, the Washington Post, the LA Times, Time, Newsweek, ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN are part of a coordinated campaign to sanitize, normalize, and romanticize history’s most Dangerous & Lethal Ideologies. For example, Newsweek is currently running a “Little Red Test” that asks how you feel about oat milk, shorter workweeks and tote bags — subtlety leading one to see how ready you are for an “American Socialist Revolution.” What exactly are they trying to do?
Because nothing says "Border" better than a human wave crossing into Europe on camera, in real time, and then being allowed to spend years pretending its Grooming Gang Epidemic would lead to nothing – because admitting the Leftist-Multicultural Fairy Tale would eventually have a body count – and "voilà," you literally have the French phrase for "there it is," or "there you go!" There's been no shortage of press lately chronicling Europe's slow-motion Muslim population crisis, so buckle up, it's a full continent's worth of material.
