New Policy Drop:
Texas farmers are about to get their power back.
I just finished writing the Texas Hemp Sovereignty and Rural Energy Act — ready to file Day 1.
This isn’t another CBD hype bill. This is real hemp freedom:
• Full industrial hemp freedom (fiber, grain, biomass — no unnecessary barriers)
• Decentralized 25-acre micro-refineries so farmers can turn hemp into biodiesel, ethanol, and biogas right where they live
• Producer-owned co-ops that keep the profits in rural Texas
• Hempseed cake and spent biomass as high-protein livestock feed
• Hempcrete for affordable rural housing
• High-value CBD as a bonus co-product — not the whole game
No more shipping raw material out of state.
No more begging for diesel.
No more centralized corporate control.
Farmers will control their own fuel, their own feed, and their own future.
Every dollar of new revenue flows straight into the Freedom Fund — helping us cut property taxes 50% in the first term and eliminate them by 2038 or sooner.
This is energy sovereignty.
This is rural revival.
This is Texas First.
Hemp wasn’t meant to enrich distant corporations.
It was meant to empower Texas farmers and families.
Reclaim 1836 means giving power back to the land and the people who work it.

Washington is trying to ban hemp, a winning cash crop for Kentucky farmers.
I'm working with Sen. Klobuchar on a bill that lets states set their own hemp rules. Call your senator and tell them to support it: (202) 224-3121.

My scary classroom social experiment demonstrating how tyrannies arise from democracies:
I gave a bunch of extra credit tickets to the first few students to arrive in class, then everyone else received 1-2 tickets.
The kids that came into class last were outraged by the “injustice” of those that came first getting a greater reward.
There were no rules or directions for this day in class. I just told them I’d act as an enforcer of whatever they decided to do in the 47 minutes.
The girl circled in red- Emily- was a genius.
She used her charisma and charm to court the majority of her peers that had less coupons, and played off their resentment of the minority that had earned more tickets for arriving to class early.
In the allotted time she convinced her peers that if they voted to give her absolute power, she would confiscate the 40+ coupons held by the minority and distribute them equally.
The minority of students were frustrated, but powerless against the majority vote.
Emily was elected to a “supreme ruler” position, and as promised she confiscated all of the tickets from the minority of students that arrived to class first.
That’s when things got interesting.
She kept the vast majority of tickets for herself, and distributed a few to some of her friends.
It was a microcosm of what has happened historically time and time again, and the danger our republic faces.
I asked the students to write a reflection on how they now viewed unrestrained majority-rules democracy, and their opinions has definitely changed from the day prior.
💙 HEROIC CAMP COUNSELORS SAVE 20 GIRLS | Two 19-year-old counselors from Mexico, Silvana Garza Valdez and María Paula Zárate, helped save 20 young girls during the Camp Mystic flood.
They kept them calm, moved them to safety, and wrote names on their arms for ID. True heroes.
Governor @GregAbbott, did you see this?!!
Your buddy, @DanPatrick, really screwed the pooch on SB3. I sure hope you're going to do the right thing and Veto SB3.
ULTRASONIC VAPES: SLEEK AND SCARY
U-cigarettes may sound like a safe bet.
Scientists at the University of California, Riverside found they pack a nasty punch instead.
Unlike regular vapes, these gadgets use vibrations to create mist.
But in that mist lurk 16 metals, including arsenic and selenium, the same villains linked to cancer and lung disease.
One brand tested had nickel levels so high they might as well call it a metal smoothie.
Even zinc and selenium, good in tiny amounts, turn traitorous at high doses.
Once inhaled, these metals can hide in your lungs and dodge the usual body defenses, causing serious damage over time.
Researchers say the industry needs stricter rules before more lungs pay the price.
Shiny marketing cannot erase the real risks.
For now, the smart choice is to stay cautious and remember not every new gadget is a good idea.

~ The opioid crisis? We’re done with it. Texans need safe options, not deadly ones.
~ Texans deserve clean, high-quality natural medicine - not synthetic fillers or corporate shortcuts.
~Mental health and addiction? Full Spectrum Hemp isn’t a cure-all - but it’s part of the solution, and it’s time we used it that way.
~ Texans & Doctors - not distant politicians, should decide what’s right for Texans.
~ Outdated stigma? Gone - funding for futures built on science, not fear.
~ This isn’t reform. This is reclamation - of Texans Health, Dignity, and Truth.
~ Texans are stirring from its slumber, we know there is a better way to a Healthier, Better Quality of Life.
