@olivercampbell I’m at the stage in life where the prior generation of my family is passing and requiring caretakers. It’s sobering. The only prayer that’s helped me is to pray for the strength to endure what comes next.
Confederate Gen. Richard Taylor, son of President Zachary Taylor, had to surrender to a German 48er immigrant officer at the end of the war. Describing his response to the lecture about "American values" he received from the German in broken English, he wrote:
"I apologized meekly for my ignorance, on the ground that my ancestors had come from England to Virginia in 1608, and, in the short intervening period of two hundred and fifty-odd years, had found no time to transmit to me correct ideas of the duties of American citizenship. Moreover, my grandfather, commanding the 9th Virginia regiment in our Revolutionary army, had assisted in the defeat and capture of the Hessian mercenaries at Trenton, and I lamented that he had not, by association with these worthies, enlightened his understanding. My friend smiled blandly and assured me of his willingness to instruct me. Happily for the world, since the days of Huss and Luther, neither tyranny nor taste can repress the Teutonic intellect in search of truth or exposure of error. A kindly, worthy people, the Germans, but wearing on occasions."

Texas is responsible for 40% of our oil and gas production.
Given the current conditions of the Middle East and Russia, this seat is one of the most significant for our national security.
We cannot let the Texas’ oil industry be regulated by the radical left.
Elect Bo French
Buc-ee’s was literally two dudes who said “What if gas stations weren’t shitty and Indian owned” and it’s a phenomenon…imagine what the hotel industry could accomplish.
