To the People of Texas & All Americans in the World:
Fellow citizens & compatriots—I am besieged, by a thousand or more of the Mexicans under Santa Anna—I have sustained a continual Bombardment & cannonade for 24 hours & have not lost a man. The enemy has demanded a surrender at discretion, otherwise, the garrison are to be put to the sword, if the fort is taken—I have answered the demand with a cannon shot, & our flag still waves proudly from the walls. I shall never surrender or retreat. Then, I call on you in the name of Liberty, of patriotism & everything dear to the American character, to come to our aid, with all dispatch—The enemy is receiving reinforcements daily & will no doubt increase to three or four thousand in four or five days. If this call is neglected, I am determined to sustain myself as long as possible & die like a soldier who never forgets what is due to his own honor & that of his country—Victory or Death.
William Barret Travis
Lt. Col. Comdt.
The Trump admin has practically ended the flood of asylum fraud.
Asylum granted in immigration courts has remained at the lowest levels in history, all year, reaching a record-high asylum denial rate of 94.5% in September.
To understand the scale, operation Metro Surge in Minnesota arrested fewer than 3,800 people within 70 days — using multiple agencies.
The Lone Star Mission in Texas under ICE arrested 4,170 people in 10 days, without pulling resources away from other states or drawing riots.
We at CCYR had a great time at this year’s YRT conference. We had two of our officers speak, we won club of the year, and passed multiple resolutions that are putting America First! More to come soon…….
GOP Candidate Bo French on Texas Oil and Gas
On this special edition of REAL TEXANS, @Daniel_Greer sits down with @bofrench, the Republican nominee for the Texas Railroad Commission. They discuss the current state of Texas oil and gas amid conflict in the Middle East, as well as how to protect the industry from ESG and other political pressures.
"Change is coming, but it's not the change of the radical left—it's the change of the Young Republicans of Texas!"
Steve Bannon addressed a fired-up crowd of Young Republicans at our convention in Dallas. Texas leads the way with an America First vision for our nation's future.
As we approach the end of YRT's strongest year yet, we're looking to build a base of small dollar donors to help us take our operation to the next level in 2027.
We'd be honored to have your support. Let's build an institution for the next generation. 🙏 https://t.co/ui1D5DtTPU
The morning after @JDVance speaks in Weatherford we will be teaming up with @FortWorthYR to hit doors and get voters out to the polls!
When polls close next Tuesday, will you feel confident that you've done everything you can to secure victory for Texas?

It's not just the H-1B visa; our country is being swarmed by foreigners exploiting OPT, marriage scams, asylum claims, etc. This year's immigration mega-resolution builds on last year's with a call to repeal Hart-Celler, tax remittances, and much more. Protect our sovereignty!
At a Young Catholic Professionals event on Friday I spoke with a young conservative that missed out on voting in 24 because he left it up to Election Day.
His flight home got cancelled. Said he’s exclusively voting early for the rest of his life.
In 2020 we were loading all our cattle to take to the sale.
No hay. No grazing. Dust to dust. So we had to sell.
A big angus bull was getting wild, so we separated him in his own pen. He started ramming a corner post as hard as he could.
Somebody said, better get him out, he’s gonna hurt himself.
It was too late. He broke his neck. Laid there breathing a little longer. I took my knife and cut his carotid to bleed him, so we could save the meat.
I wrote the song “Afford to Kill” partially based on that day, it was the pandemic and there were a whole lot of people who were cowering and making incredibly poor decisions, including the majority of the leadership of our country.
I want my children to be gentle and kind, but I hope when the time comes for hard things to be done, that they are ready to do them, and not give in.
I want to teach them the old ways. Our forefathers made tough decisions over and over to build this nation, and I’ll be danged if I let it be destroyed by a bunch of cowards.
Remember how our leaders acted during 2020. They are all running for office again, not to get too political, but many in this election. Some fought back against tyranny, some cowered.
You can guess my vote based on who was willing to fight.
Speakers also included Texas GOP Chair D'rinda Randall, Bo French, Mayes Middleton, and many more strong patriots. Bannon said he's never been at a convention with a lineup and agenda that compared to this one. Stay tuned for more.
