Geez, you guys.
We can't trust the GOP.
And we can't vote for commie Dems who can't even tell biological truths.
I honestly don't know what we are supposed to do.
How are we supposed to save this country?

A noteworthy contrast: House GOP elected new leadership, while Senate GOP reelected the same slate that failed to advance the SAVE Act and continues to stall legislation sent over by the House.
We cannot keep doing business as usual and expect different results

If Gina Hinojosa is able to bring socialism to Texas by executive fiat for the next four years, you know who is most responsible???....
TXLEGE REPUBLICANS who've done (and continue to do) nothing to rein in executive emergency powers during Abbott's terms.
There's still time left to act... but the clock is ticking!!

🚨 I call on Gov. Abbott to IMMEDIATELY convene a special session to REIN IN EXECUTIVE EMERGENCY POWERS… before Gina Hinojosa is sworn in!
Republicans lost last night, but Democrats were not sworn in.
We still have total power in Texas, and we must act like it by using the restore separation of powers and limit the emergency powers that Governor-Elect Hinojosa is set to inherit, which would allow her to destroy liberty in Texas by executive fiat.
I’ve warned since I was first elected that NO governor, Republican or Democrat, should have unchecked emergency powers!
Now that Texas has elected a Democrat Governor, the urgency is undeniable… and inaction is intolerable.
Without action, Governor Hinojosa will inherit the powers of a DICTATOR.
Due to the absurd (and almost certainly unconstitutional) Texas emergency powers laws, Gov. Hinojosa will literally have the power to modify laws, ignore laws, or create and enforce laws – including criminal laws – on a whim!
Today is a day for ACTION, and bold leadership.
The Texas Legislature must immediately pass, and Governor Abbott must sign, legislation like HB911, which I filed in 2022 and warned at the time, that “Never ending emergency powers are antithetical to representative government and render people powerless. Legislative bodies allowing a single executive branch official to both write and enforce laws is the biggest threat to our constitutional system of divided government and should be opposed irrespective of which political party runs the executive branch.”
My legislation would protect liberty from executive fiat by, among other things, taking the following actions:
1. Prohibit the Governor from suspending or modifying statutes
2. Sunset emergency orders in 30 days if the legislature does not ratify the order
3. Prohibit the governor from reissuing emergency orders that expired or the legislature rejected
4. Require emergency orders to be narrowly tailored
5. Subject emergency orders to expedited judicial review
We have TEN WEEKS LEFT to protect Texas from near total Democrat rule.
I encourage every elected Republican in Texas to join my demand for Gov. Abbott to call a special session.
The future of liberty in America is literally on the line in Texas, and Texans deserve leadership that acts accordingly.

Rusk County Republican Party calls on Gov Abbott to call a special session.
The protection of our constitutional rights should never be a partisan issue. No governor, Republican or Democrat, should have unchecked power to suspend the laws or bypass the Legislature. This countability, constitutional limits, and the protection of Texans’ freedoms now and for generations to come. 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙

Jim Caviezel calls out Pope Leo: Many pastors, bishops and popes have watered down the Gospel because they’re afraid.
The actor said "real men must fight for the real faith," as we’re in a time of war. @reallycaviezel

Vote on Hegseth impeachment is at 5:30pm today - I will not be voting to impeach.
The Iran war is through no fault of his own and he should not be the one scapegoated for it.
I fully support the changes Hegseth has made to the DoW to make our fighting force the very best it can be.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but Pete Hegseth isn’t part of the problem.
He’s part of the solution.

Why do we never hear Christian leaders calling for illegals to repent of their sin of violating the borders of another nation?
Theft is a sin, fraud is a sin, dispossession is a sin
Yet I never hear Christian leaders demanding illegal aliens say anything about it

Of course these communists are coming for our guns.
What part of “shall not be infringed” do they not understand?
Thank goodness the Texas State Senate remains under Republican control. They need to stand strong for our 2A rights.

Expanding Medicaid will rise the costs on middle class Texans who are already struggling to make ends meet.
Texas Democrats, including Hinojosa, ran on expanding Medicaid.
Republicans in 10 states including Texas have rejected Medicaid expansion due to documented cost overruns, among other issues.
“Texas has rejected this expansion for years because it means permanent new spending, d higher taxes on hard-working families.” @Texas_Taxpayers
