The youngins aren’t perfect. They shouldn’t be expected to be.
They are smart enough to know two truths though:
First, the generation before us were so selfish that they sold our inheritance for a quick buck and so narcissistic that they’ll never admit it.
Second, to reclaim our inheritance is going to be an absolute knife fight. It’s going to be a dirty, bloody, uphill war that has no guaranteed victory… but damn if it isn’t worth fighting.
If you’re not someone we trust to hold the shield to our left in the phalanx… we’re not voting for you.

The pursuit of equity is central to managerial class identity. It is the moral justification for the power and influence they hold. Unfortunately this pursuit is at odds with building effective military teams, not to mention Constitutional requirements. As this shows, they'll never let it go. The people responsible need to be replaced.
DEI has obliterated what makes this nation exceptional.
America was built on the back of the work ethic and brilliant minds of an unrelenting citizenry, but affirmative action turned into full blown Marxist DEI and destroyed merit for feel good social engineering. ary tried to dismantle the last bastion of raw, merit based exceptionalism in our national security apparatus. A poor kid could come in off the streets, earn his way through hard work and grit, and rise to the top where he might never have had a chance otherwise.
Had it not been for this administration, I can only imagine how far it would have gone. Even now, the kind of opposition and deep state machinery working to destroy Hegseth is rooted in this single effort. I’m 100% convinced this is why they hate him so much. Any other excuse is merely a disguise to launder this single desire through means that would appeal to a wider audience. What his detractors hate most of all is the sledgehammer he took to all of the work they’d put in for 15 years to gut the integrity of our formations.
The officers who so eagerly participated loved having a seat at the table. The people who engineered it wanted to destroy our defense so they could rip out the constitution. Regardless of the reason, they’re still hard at work, and they have every intention of resuming their efforts when the Trump era is over.
Wake up to the malicious compliance regarding every policy he’s put his name on. This is not simply a disagreement over ideology. They’re at war, in every institution, every branch of government and agency, and extreme opposition to their efforts gets targeted for destruction.

Today marks the start of pre-filing for the 90th Texas Legislature.
Weeks ago, I sent the Rural Texas Industrial Compatibility Act working draft to my own State Senator Bob Hall and State Representative Brent Money asking them to consider carrying it and it is my understanding be carrying pieces if not the exact. I do feel this is important legislation and want to make sure that we get better protections in place for counties without growing government.
I have now broadened the request and sent it to additional House and Senate offices that represent rural districts or serve on relevant committees (Energy Resources, Environmental Regulation, Agriculture & Livestock, Natural Resources, Land & Resource Management, and others).
Sent to (among others):
- Sen @kevinsparkstx
- Sen. Charles Perry
- Sen. @LoisKolkhorst
- @SenBryanHughes
- @SenatorBobHall (earlier)
- Sen. @PeteFlores_TX
- Sen @TanParkerTX
- Sen. @SenPhilKingTX
- Senator Robert Nichols
- Rep. @DrewDarbyTX
- State Rep @BrooksLandgraf
- Rep. @RyanGuillen
- Rep. @CodyHarrisTX
- Rep. @GatesforTexas
- Rep. @KingForTexas
- Rep. @Burrows4TX
- State Rep @TrentAshbyTX
- Rep @StanGerdesforTX
- Rep. @AndyHopperTX
- State Rep @brentmoney (earlier)
- Rep. @wesvirdelltx
Why this matters for rural Texas:
Rural counties cannot zone. Utility-scale solar, wind, battery storage, and data centers are being sited on farm and ranch land next to homes and livestock with no statewide compatibility review. This draft creates that review. This is not creating new laws but amending existing.
It requires a TCEQ rural industrial compatibility permit, independent studies (not developer self-studies) of air, soil, water, wildlife, and effects on neighbors and livestock, numeric setbacks (waivable by the affected owner), and a sustainable water plan. It bars interconnection or large-load service until the permit is issued. Fees fund the program, not we the people!
It does not ban landowners from leasing or selling, does not give counties general zoning power, and does not regulate oil and gas or on-farm generation that is not a wholesale resource.
Rural Texans deserve a basic compatibility process so industrial projects do not land next to homes and livestock without independent review of impacts on water, soils, air, and neighbors.
How YOU can help:
1. Share this post with the attached draft, one-pager, and fiscal note. (Website link below)
2. Contact your own State Representative and State Senator and ask them to consider carrying or co-authoring a version of the Rural Texas Industrial Compatibility Act for the 90th session. Ask them to have Legislative Council review it.
3. Ask them why rural Texas still has no statewide process to review these projects for compatibility with homes, livestock, water, and farmland.
Attachments: working draft of the Rural Texas Industrial Compatibility Act, one-pager, and fiscal note. Give them my contact so I can answer any questions!

BREAKING: House Republicans just successfully killed Rep. Thomas Massie’s (R-KY) impeachment resolution against Pete Hegseth (for now) by voting to refer it to the House Judiciary Committee in a 211-204 vote.
The only Republican to vote with Democrats on this vote was Massie.

My friend Luke @LukeWeinhagen has fell on rough times.
“In September, Luke suffered a severe seizure, recovered remarkably quickly, and returned to normal life. Thirty days later, he suffered another. This time his vision disappeared, and he managed to warn the children with him before losing consciousness and being taken to the hospital.
Further investigation revealed a lesion in his left temporal lobe. A biopsy was performed. The diagnosis is brain cancer.”

Dear GOP,
The path to victory in 2028 is right here. We got them in 2024. We lost them in 2026.
Start talking to these young men. Start hearing their concerns.
No more lectures. No more nagging and scolding. No more ignoring.

84% of victims are girls, most 14 to 17.
Some are younger than 10.
And far too many parents only find out after their child has already been hurt.
It’s called sadistically motivated sextortion, and it’s driven by violence and cruelty.
The offender coerces a child into explicit s it, and uses every recording to demand more.
If she tries to stop, it only gets worse.
Many parents have never heard of it.
Now you have.
Share this with a parent who needs to know.

I think I’m due an apology. I think we all are.
I was asked to do something to help my country. I didn’t have to. I had other things to do. But I did it anyway because I thought I could contribute something to help the troops. My buddies felt the same way. We worked hard and did our best.
And what did Don and others do? They said or implied things me and the others that weren’t true.
I think I deserve an apology. No, I don’t think I’ll hold my breath.

I wait with bated breath for the article from @DanLamothe begging forgiveness for smearing @KurtSchlichter @RobManess & @CynicalPublius.
He invaded their privacy and then lied about the vital work they were doing.

I am proud to have played a small role in this team effort with @KurtSchlichter and @CynicalPublius. This line says it all “the Department will evaluate military schools by a singular, uncompromising standard: "Does this program forge leaders who will win America's wars?"
This reform exactly is what the SGEs worked on.
@KurtSchlichter , @CynicalPublius , @RobManess .
And they got ripped apart in the public square and got called "paid influencers" and "traitors" for it.
Four bot networks weren't unleashed because they were being paid to post. They were doing serious work. Work which required outsider experts.
@PeteHegseth does not mess around.

PARENTS: If your son plays sports, hear me out.
Predators are targeting athletes on purpose.
Boys with a platform.
A reputation.
A starting spot.
Something to protect — that’s exactly why they’re picked.
The scheme: a predator poses as a girl, sends an explicit photo, and once — the trap closes. “We got you now.”
This moves fast. Faster than most parents realize. Shame keeps boys silent, and silence is what predators are counting on.
This is a growing crime and it’s happening on the same apps your son uses every day.
Have this conversation before he needs it: if this ever happens, he comes to you.
No shame. No punishment. Just help.

There is no justifiable reason for impeaching Hegseth. If you think there is, then you probably don’t understand execution authorities.
There is less than a 0% chance the SecDef or SecWar whichever you’d like to call him had delegated authority for execution.
So if you think it’s illegal then your fight is above him.
Instead I think you all are just reaching for an attainable target to condemn a war that you didn’t have the guts to stop.

If anything, they should be encouraging us to resist openly and loudly so that we not only take back Texas but inspire others to take back their states.

I stand with @PeteHegseth.
Impeachment is for grave abuse of office, not for relitigating defense policy.
Policy disagreements belong in legislation, funding fights and oversight. Turning them into impeachment articles cheapens the Constitution.

The older I get and the more I see in this nation, the more I understand the book of Judges.
Someone (a judge) would show up and wreck house, Israel would return to God, they’d live in peace and prosperity for 80 years or so, then return to their wickedness. Rinse and repeat.
We’ve been in a wickedness slump for a while. We could use a judge anytime.

I really hope this initiative can continue to gain momentum.
I’ve got over 28 years of experience with barracks.
Lived in them for four years and have led Soldiers living in them for the rest.
Until we acknowledge that the crux of the issue with these buildings is beyond local leadership it will never get fixed.
I’m not saying there aren’t leadership failures when it comes to barracks upkeep, but it is NOT the norm.
Most leaders make quality of life their top priority.
The issue is that these buildings were contracted and built by people trying to make a quick buck, then neglected over the years.
It’s plumbing and HVAC issues that are killing them slowly like a cancer.
Johnny and Jane can throw bleach on the mold, but it’s coming back if the root problem isn’t fixed.
Sergeants Major and Commanders can go stand on some dude’s desk at DPW and get a work order pushed through, but if they don’t have the amount of people or the right people to fix the issues they just won’t be fixed.
It’s an endless cycle and I have personally only been ever to barely tread water when it comes to the barracks over three decades and I’m sick of it.
Needs to be fixed at the national level.
Thoughts and prayers, seriously 🙏

Our service members aren’t asking for much. They’re asking for the basics. A hot shower, working AC, a safe place to sleep.
These are men and women who have made a commitment to serve this country. We owe them better.
Grateful to @SecWar for making this a priority and giving me the opportunity to take it on.
This mission is personal to me, and I’m committed to seeing it through.
They kept their promise. Now we keep ours.

Good rant, Viva. Everyone should hear this.
This one is for Brenden Dilley. And all the other cheerleader sycophants who are partly responsible for this catastrophic midterm:
If you tell someone “it’s fine, it’s fine” knowing that something can be done to save their lives, but you don’t do it, you are not placating them. You are the problem that contributed to this midterm catastrophe.
The greatest contribution you can now make to solving this conundrum is to fade into irrelevance.
Watch and share.
