Over the 4th of July weekend, hundreds of Somali youth in Minneapolis went on a crime spree. Its been a growing problem in Minneapolis for years – and County Sheriff Bob Fletcher has had enough. Sheriff Fletcher blasted the media for not covering the “out of control” violence, warning “If the community stays in denial about this problem, those 300 kids running in gang circles are going to turn into 900 kids.” That same message could be said of the entire United States.

Every eligible child born between January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2028 receives a $1,000 seed deposit from the U.S. Treasury to kick-start their account, and I recommend taking advantage of the program. With contributions from Family, Friends & Employers helping the funds grow tax-deferred over time, families across the country have invested $125 million in America's newborn children. It is an incredible opportunity to set your child up for financial success.

The Bridger Aerospace "Super Scoopers"  – yes – literally scoop water from nearby lakes and water sources and transport it to the fire line to extinguish wildfires when every minute and second counts. And the planes have spent 36 days working in Texas so far this year, logging more than 80 flight hours and dropping more than 130,000 gallons of water on fires across the Lone Star State. Wildfire season is upon us, and aerospace technology companies are racing to reshape how decisions are made.

They’re called "Socialists," and "Democrat Socialists." No longer satisfied with being just "Progressives," they’re also now OK being called "Marxists & Communists"... in the United States of America! And for any Democrat still in denial, they’ve flocked to and taken over your party. “We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism, with the warmth of collectivism,” said Democrat's new undisputed King-Maker, Mayor Zohran Mamdani – which is to say, a Communist-Marxist-Collectivist party.

As a physician who cares for patients in skilled Nursing Homes across Houston & Galveston, I see the toll of Alzheimer’s & Dementia every day – in patients who lose their independence, in families struggling to make difficult decisions, and in caregivers who are exhausted and heartbroken. Alzheimer’s is one of the greatest health challenges facing our nation – and for too long it has failed to receive the urgency and coordinated response it demands. In Texas, we're changing that.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has announced a province-wide referendum for October 19th on whether it should separate from Canada. Voters will choose between remaining in Canada, or starting the process for a future binding independence referendum. Alberta holds the world's 4th-largest crude oil reserves, contributes almost as much to Canada's growth as its financial and manufacturing hub of Ontario, which has more than three times the population. Hmm...

We’re headed into Memorial Day Weekend, and it seems particularly poignant that we have a president who's taking care of unfinished problems created and left by his predecessors. Speaking of that, the Democrat National Committee finally released its “2024 Autopsy Report” – and its a half-baked draft reckoning of the party’s 2024 Election Loss. A 192-page document, its actually riddled with errors and even misspelled names of its own party members. They paid good money for the report, and came up with two short words.

When it comes to the past decade of price hikes, consolidation within the fertilizer industry is largely to blame and still presents a problem that needs both short- and long-term solutions. While President Trump has achieved unprecedented collaboration between government and the private sector on a host of agricultural issues, expensive fertilizer has been a longstanding challenge. The Biden White House did little to address the issue, and at one point prices even shot up by 99%.

Everyone stood in stunned silence, and we were told a Lone Gunman had been taken down and one agent was shot. I was seated at the table next to House Speaker Mike Johnson when Secret Service Agents began yelling: “Where's the Speaker?” He was immediately gone – ushered out and surrounded by Body Guards. For about five minutes it was a frightening environment, though people stayed mostly calm. We didn’t get word that President Trump was unharmed until about 20 minutes later.

Like it or not, we've gotten a little too used to all sorts of legal wrangling and interference in politics. That's on Democrats, of course. They can't beat President Trump in elections, so they're relentless in trying to ruin him personally and thwart his agenda via Lawsuits, Judges & Prosecutors. Nobody wants to live in a permanently litigious society, but sometimes you have to get down in the mud to fight those who're trying to drag us down there. President Trump is teaching Republicans how to fight.

California Governor candidate and Congressman Eric Swalwell – a previously useful attack dog whose seemingly insurmountable sexual baggage was an "open secret" to Democrat Party Leaders in D.C. – has called off his campaign insisting the finally acknowledged sexual assault charges are “false allegations” he will continue to fight. His demise only came on the heels of pressure from Democrat Party leaders – who are willing to go to any length to hold on to California's governorship.

Talk about a pleasant and early Easter Weekend treat, the U.S. Economy added 178,000 jobs in March, and the unemployment rate fell to 4.3% according the the figures for March 2026 that were released earlier this morning – which were both far better than expected by Wall Street, particularly the job growth numbers. The reports were "way better than expected," according to a Washington Examiner analysis in Washington, D.C., and may soon be getting even better.

There's no shortage of negative elitist media coverage on President Trump these days – except perhaps when it comes to the fact that he's (wait for it,) "winning" in his efforts to reshape the nation's media landscape. Yes you read that right, and confirmed liar and Democrat Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA.) even had a pseudo-hearing the other day to try and prove it, accusing President Trump of committing "an assault on our freedom of speech... taking us down the road of Putin & China to state-controlled media." HA!

"The biggest bridge in Iran comes tumbling down, never to be used again. It's time for Iran to make a deal before it is too late and there is nothing left of what still could become a great country," said President Trump in a 10-second clip of the attack on the Middle East's largest bridge, considered an important link between Iran’s capital of Tehran and the western city of Karaj. "Much more to follow," warned Mr. Trump in a Truth Social post.

Republicans successfully brought the "SAVE America Act" to the Senate Floor for debate Tuesday, and Democrats sound like they’re in full panic mode. The talking points are predictable, and we’ve heard them all before — the usual Bogus Fear-Mongering accusations – all of it. But the concerns are all literally addressed in the text of the bill itself. So what’s the real reason they’re opposing it?

Yesterday afternoon, a 41-year-old Islamic Radical Terrorist drove a truck loaded with explosives through the front doors of Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan — one of the largest Reform synagogues in the country — and opened fire: 140 children were inside. Babies. Preschoolers. This was an early childhood learning center in the middle of a school day. Here's what has happened, and what the last 12 days in America have looked like.

Let's start with this: “Radicalized white men are the greatest Domestic Terrorist Threat in our country,” says James Talarico. He's called the Bible’s view on abortion “pro-choice.” Hispanic Catholics will love how he called Mary, the mother of Jesus, “an oppressed peasant teenage girl living in poverty.” He says his skin color “gives me and every White American immunity from the virus” of racism that “we spread it wherever we go.” Oh – and he's currently attending Presbyterian Seminary in Austin.

The Democrats don’t want you to know this. The strike on Iran was about stopping an imminent bloodbath: “We had analysis that told us, if we sat back and waited to get hit first, the amount of casualties and damage would be substantially higher than if we acted in a preemptive, defensive way to prevent those launches. We are not going to be held hostage by them, and we are not going to let them hit us first.”

Well, its a Big Week with the "State of the Union," a continuing Government Shutdown, a potential conflict in Iran, and each Friday veteran radio voices Jim Cardle & Lynn Woolley – along with Texas Public Policy Foundation’s Sherry Sylvester – break down the biggest political "Winners & Losers" on Austin’s Talk 1370 Radio. Now they’re bringing the conversation to Austin LIVE, unpacking who’s got the latest Mojo, who’s stuck in the mud – and why it all matters.​​​​​​ RSVP HERE.

Democrat lawmakers – facing continued & growing pressure from their far-left Socialist-Democrat base – have announced that their latest plan to contrast themselves with Republicans and President Trump will be to hold a counter-rally during President Trump's "State of the Union" address to the Nation this coming Tuesday, Feb. 24th. The "counter-rally" will be hosted by the liberal-left mobilization group MoveOn.org, along with progressive media company Meidas Touch, and other "coalition" partners.
