🚨 WOW. This brave Christian migrant from Iran walked up and WENT BERSERK on the proposed Islamic Center in McKinney, TX — straight to the council's face

The whole building ERUPTED after his dire warning:

"I'm a Sharia law survivor from Iran."

"I'm TELLING YOU, this is a BAD idea and you're going to REGRET not listening to people like us who lived under Sharia law!"

"I'm here to tell you this is a DANGEROUS ideology you're allowing in your country. Every country that is Islamic now, it used to be a Christian country and we were soft Christians."

"And we allowed these people to come in, bring their Sharia law into our countries and slowly k*ll us off left and right!"

"Let me make it very clear to you. Christianity is a personal relationship with God...Islam is Sharia law. Religion and state, which is not even compatible with the American thing and when these people will lie to you, to manipulate you."

"Because whenever Islam is little, they will lie to you and tell you they come in peace. This is level one!"

"Level two is what's happening in UK right now, where you have two-tier policing, where you have the blasphemy laws, Islamophobia, racism, all this nonsense that they talk about."

"Any time you criticize Islam, they will use the race card, but every country has this disgusting ideology inside their country, including my own country, Iran, Russia, Islamophobia is another made up bullsh*t because they don't want you to criticize their death cult!"

"If you question that disgusting book, they're get k*lled over it, just like my friends were apostates imprisoned or dead right now in Iran!"

HE NAILED IT!!!

"My horse shoved me flat on my back today. I was ready to yell at him... I was carrying a bale and couldn't see the ground. He could. The rattler was about a step in front of my boots. He stamped until it left, and I just stood there holding onto him for a while.

Imagine that...legalize it, enforce it, then the tax payers are stuck with the bill to clean up.someone else's mess that shouldn't have existed in the first place. >.<

🚨 OKLAHOMA SEIZED THE ASSETS. NOW WHO’S PAYING TO CLEAN UP THE MESS?

Attorney General Gentner Drummond has spent years publicizing his crackdown on Oklahoma’s illegal marijuana operations, announcing raids, seizures, property forfeitures and the closure of thousands of growing facilities.

But now Oklahoma has another problem.

Thousands of marijuana grows have disappeared, and some have left behind an environmental mess that someone has to pay to clean up.

And here’s the question nobody should overlook:

WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THE MONEY AND PROPERTY SEIZED DURING THE CRACKDOWN?

🔴 FROM MARIJUANA BOOM TO ABANDONED PROPERTIES

At its peak, Oklahoma had approximately 8,400 licensed marijuana growers.

According to the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority’s October 1, 2026, report, that number has dropped to 1,703.

Some former growing operations have left behind abandoned buildings, waste, damaged infrastructure, sewage problems and potentially hazardous pesticides.

On October 6, Oklahoma lawmakers held an interim study specifically addressing the management and cleanup of abandoned commercial marijuana grows.

The discussion included representatives from the Attorney General’s Office, Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics, Department of Environmental Quality and other state agencies.

The problem is real. But so is the question of who should pay.

🔴 FOLLOW THE FORFEITURE MONEY

Drummond’s Organized Crime Task Force reported in October 2025 that its enforcement efforts had helped shut down more than 7,000 illegal marijuana operations.

Those investigations have involved seizures of marijuana, equipment, cash and property, along with civil forfeiture proceedings.

But here’s an important distinction.

The estimated street value of confiscated marijuana isn’t money sitting in a government bank account.

And property seized during an investigation doesn’t automatically become state property.

Assets generally must go through a forfeiture process before the government can permanently retain them.

HOW MUCH WAS ACTUALLY FORFEITED, WHERE WAS IT DEPOSITED, AND HOW HAS IT BEEN SPENT?

🔴 OKLAHOMA ALREADY HAS A CLEANUP FUNDING MECHANISM

In 2023, lawmakers enacted legislation requiring applicable commercial marijuana growers to obtain a minimum $50,000 surety bond intended to help cover restoration costs when operations are abandoned or licenses are revoked.

That raises another question.

How many of those bonds have been collected upon?

And how many abandoned properties have been cleaned up using those funds?

🔴 CAN FORFEITURE PROCEEDS BE USED FOR CLEANUP?

Under Oklahoma law, proceeds from property forfeited through the Attorney General’s Office generally go into the Attorney General Law Enforcement Revolving Fund for law enforcement purposes.

Environmental cleanup is not expressly identified as an authorized use.

That means redirecting forfeiture proceeds toward remediation could require legislative action.

But laws can be amended.

If the state is recovering money and property from illegal marijuana operations, lawmakers could examine whether a portion of those proceeds should be dedicated to addressing the damage those operations leave behind.

🔴 HERE’S WHAT OKLAHOMANS DESERVE TO KNOW

How much money has the state actually recovered through marijuana-related forfeitures since 2023?

How much has been spent, and on what?

How much money is available through the grower surety-bond program?

And why isn’t there a comprehensive public accounting connecting enforcement recoveries with environmental cleanup needs?

THE CRACKDOWN MADE HEADLINES. THE CLEANUP DESERVES JUST AS MUCH ATTENTION.

Closing illegal operations is one responsibility. Addressing the damage left behind is another.

🚨 BREAKING: Texas Governor Greg Abbott just went FULL BEAST MODE on radical Sharia courts trying to infiltrate Texas!

“We know of at least TWO Sharia courts operating in the Dallas area… I am deploying the Texas Department of Public Safety to ROOT OUT any Sharia courts ANYWHERE in the state of Texas!”

“To be clear, the Texas Constitution DOES NOT allow Sharia courts or Sharia law… Our statutes have BANNED Sharia law… and we are going to pursue this until we PURGE any attempt to impose Sharia law in Texas!”

Two thoughts.

1. Bring back Oklahoma’s original signs like below.
2. Texas also needs this sign- ASAP

You won't believe this incredible parade moment! As a marching military K9 passes, a dog on the sidewalk raises its paw. Showing amazing focus and training, the marching K9 stops, sits, and perfectly returns the paw touch! What did you think of this amazing interaction? Let us know!

So my friends in the #meteorology community. I was looking at Amarillo's radar and saw this. What do you propose it is?

@NWSAmarillo I wasn't able to get pictures but the west bound frontage road at exit 75 is closed at this time but as best I could tell not at the 74.

🚨MASSACHUSETTS SENATOR ELIZABETH WARREN IS FACING CALLS TO RESIGN FROM INSIDE HER OWN PARTY AFTER HER USE OF THE AUTOPEN WAS CONFIRMED BY DOOR LOGS FROM THE WEST WING!

Warren entered the room on 116 separate occasions, corresponding to times noted on the signing of 112 documents, pardons, and executive orders.

With the evidence mounting, lawmakers in her state and across the Hill are growing increasingly concerned.

If Warren goes down, the entire autopen scandal blows up, and there goes the midterms.

Share this everywhere so the autopen scandal blows up the midterms!

She is done!!!

Sophie Cunningham refuses to apologize to Lia Thomas for saying 'Men like Lia shouldn't be allowed in women sports'. Sophie said that "I'm happy to take a game suspension than apologizing for what i said"

Should Sophie Cunningham apologize?

Yes 💯

September 2001. Ground Zero.
A Japanese firefighter received a 3-word email from his NY firefighter friend:
"Please help us."

Eleven Japanese firefighters paid for their own flights and rushed to NYC.
Security blocked them: "No foreigners allowed at Ground Zero. Go home."

Then came Mickey Kross—a legendary FDNY firefighter who had miraculously survived inside Tower 3 during the collapse.
He stepped forward, slammed his badge on the table, and roared:
"THESE MEN ARE MY BROTHERS. I take full responsibility."

The barricades opened. Japanese and American firefighters dug side-by-side through the toxic ash.

Fast forward 10 years.
March 11, 2011. A tsunami erased northeastern Japan.
America launched Operation Tomodachi within hours.

A US commander said:
"Ten years ago, they came to Ground Zero for us.
NOW IT IS OUR TURN."

This is not a diplomatic alliance.
This is a brotherhood forged in blood, ash, and unbreakable loyalty. 🇺🇸🤝🇯🇵

Baylor football is wearing a six-year-old's artwork on their helmets today.

Her name is ILaria Ramirez. She is from Cameron, Texas.

She is a patient at Baylor Scott & White McLane Children's Medical Center.

Here is how it happened.

Baylor players went over to the children's hospital and sat down with the pediatric patients. Not a photo op, not a walk through and wave. They actually sat down at tables with the kids and drew together.

Blank Baylor Bear heads. Markers. Make it yours.

ILaria made hers pink and teal. She put a bear right in the middle of it.

And then she did two things that nobody told her to do.

She gave it a name. She called it the Helmet of Hope.

And she picked three words to go around the edge of it.

FAITH.

VICTORY.

STRENGTH.

A six-year-old chose those. Not a marketing department. Not a coach. Not her parents. Her.

Baylor took her drawing, turned it into a decal, and put it on every single helmet for today's Gold Rush game against Louisiana Tech.

Not a sticker on one guy's helmet. Not a patch on the sleeve.

Every player on the field wearing a first grader's bear on the side of their head.

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and gold is the color for it worldwide. Baylor asked the entire stadium to wear gold today.

Head coach Dave Aranda on why:

"ILaria is one of us, and so we represent her and want her and her family to know that we're fighting along with her."

And linebacker Kyler Jordan, on what today actually is:

"Way bigger than football."

Here is the number that sits underneath all of this.

Nearly 1 in 285 Americans will be diagnosed with cancer before they turn 20.

One in 285. Before 20 years old.

Which means in a stadium that holds 45,000 people, the math says a few hundred of them have already been through some version of what ILaria is going through right now.

That is why the gold matters. That is why a helmet decal matters.

Somewhere in that building today there is a kid who knows exactly what a hospital room looks like, watching a Division I football team run out of the tunnel wearing a drawing made by a girl who is six.

FAITH. VICTORY. STRENGTH.

She picked those words herself.
