In February 2021, Texas froze solid.
Four million people lost power. Pipes burst, roofs collapsed, and families were shivering in minus-two-degree dark homes with nowhere to turn.

You know what a Houston furniture store owner did?

Jim McIngvale—known across Texas as “Mattress Mack”—owns Gallery Furniture, a massive luxury furniture showroom with millions of dollars of handcrafted beds and sofas.

When the grid failed and hypothermia began killing elderly residents, Mack didn't lock his doors to protect his inventory.
He turned on his private backup industrial generators, unlocked every door, and posted a video online:
“If you are cold, if you need heat, if you need a place to sleep, come to Gallery Furniture. We got heat, we got food, we got beds. Everyone is welcome.”

He didn't ask for credit cards.
He didn't ask for identification.
He didn't put plastic covers over his $5,000 mattresses.

Over a thousand cold, desperate strangers poured through the front doors.
Mack let mothers and babies sleep on luxury king-sized beds.
He let homeless men curl up on designer sofas with their dogs.
He brought in catering trucks and paid out of his own pocket to serve hot chili, brisket, and breakfast to hundreds of people every day.

Critics asked him: “Aren't you worried people will ruin your expensive furniture?”
Mack looked the reporter straight in the eyes:
“Furniture is just stuff. You can replace mattresses. You can replace wood. You can't replace human lives.”

He did the same thing during Hurricane Harvey.
He did it during Tropical Storm Imelda.

This isn't corporate philanthropy.
This is raw American neighborly love.
When you wonder what makes America great, don't look at Washington. Look at men like Mattress Mack. 🇺🇸🛋️

The fact that prosecutor Brenda Cantu handled the plea agreement is not in question. What is disputable is whether or not her boss, AG Paxton, provided oversight on the high profile Hoffman case and final plea deal. Because the AG office blocked release of all documents, there is no evidence of his participation, though it also proves he isn't providing necessary oversight that the job requires.

[LoisKnight @realloisknight]

@grok @CGWorsham @ffnerdalert @ElisaArmen2 @shannonrwatts @TheDemCoalition Legal documents are routinely released with necessary redactions to protect the innocent. AG Paxton is not an innocent.

[LoisKnight @realloisknight]

@grok @CGWorsham @ffnerdalert @ElisaArmen2 @shannonrwatts @TheDemCoalition Paxton's office parlayed Hoffman's mistrial into a 1-day/no SOR deal the sentencing judge called too lenient. Final deal: 60 days, time served/no SOR. Paxton and his prosecutors claim that agency head Paxton had no role, but his office blocked all FOIA requests for documents.

@CGWorsham @ffnerdalert @ElisaArmen2 @shannonrwatts @TheDemCoalition @Grok what role did AG Paxton play in Hoffman's deal?

Sheldon Whitehouse is a national treasure. Why is it that nobody seems to pay attention to the seriousness of these words?

He is truly a great man. He has invested more in Ukraine than 185 countries combined.
You know Howard Buffett, Warren Buffett’s middle son. He is 71 years old. He dropped out of college three times. He drinks Dr Pepper and looks for a McDonald’s wherever he travels.
Since the war began, his foundation has become the largest private donor to Ukraine, contributing $1.4 billion.
In four years, he has personally visited Ukraine 27 times.
In April 2022, he saw farm machinery destroyed by fire and called the president of John Deere:
“How many combine harvesters are available in Europe?”
“Fifteen. They were all destined for Russia.”
“I’ll take them all.”
Then came all the New Holland equipment available in Europe. In total, more than 100 tractors and combine harvesters were supplied to Ukrainian farmers.
He even personally tested demining equipment—on his farm in Illinois—by detonating charges under the rollers. When a Ukrainian deputy minister expressed doubts, Buffett told him:
“Stop counting my tractors. If necessary, I’ll blow up a thousand of them.”
Andriy Stavnitser had initially asked him for $1 million for Superhumans. Buffett asked how much was needed to build the entire center.
“$14 million.”
“Fine. And what do you expect in return?”
“Nothing. Just build it.”
Today, his support for Superhumans has reached $77 million, and the center has treated more than 1,700 patients.
But his largest area of ​​expenditure is neither farm machinery nor prosthetics.
It is food: 642 million meals. And that is just part of it:
* 344,000 windows replaced following Russian attacks;
* 9 bridges, 4 power plants, 2,500 generators, and 18 DNA laboratories;
* A large part of Bucha rebuilt using his own funds.
“I already have more friends in Ukraine than back home,” he says.
He celebrates birthdays in Ukraine, visits for Christmas, and even has a Ukrainian godchild.
Friends, this is truly a great man—someone who understands that he cannot take all his money with him when he leaves this world.
I simply want to thank him and wish him all the best.
Whatever else might be said, this is real help from a person who had no personal obligation to Ukraine.
He simply chose to help….

My fellow Americans: Please direct your attention to this matter for just a moment. Allow this to sink in. The President of the United States of America just said he wants to ban the free press. He said he doesn’t want them in his office, which by the way is the Oval Office in the People’s House. This is unheard of, and we the people cannot let this be!

For the record, we have a free press in this country. For the record we should all be worried not just about this latest outburst, but by all of it going forward without permission — putting our service members in harms way, raising tariffs willy nilly, threatening buildings and institutions unless his name gets put on them. This is not the behavior of a centered leader who is focused on the good of the people. This is not the behavior of a compassionate leader focused on the millions of Americans who cannot afford healthcare, childcare, gas, or food. This is not the behavior of a man who can emotionally regulate himself.

We should all be concerned — those who voted for him and those who didn’t. The midterms are around the corner. Vote like your life and the lives of others are at stake, because they are. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Scott Bessent sat in front of Congress on Tuesday and either lied or is clueless about how to do his real job. There is no third option. But based on Bessent's testimony and what I found, it looks like we could be stealing ~$11 billion from Venezuela.

Bessent told the committee Venezuela's oil money is "one of the largest assets ever to go on the US balance sheet."

The executive order the president signed on January 9 states that the money is "property of the Government of Venezuela," held by the United States "solely in a custodial and governmental capacity." You cannot hold another country's money in custody and call it your asset, because that is the difference between a bank and a thief.

Bessent said he "won't give out" the total. I found it in 15 minutes on Treasury's own daily cash statement, the one he wants to call a balance sheet when it flatters him. It is public record. So it is hard for me to believe he can't tell Congress how much.

So let me help him and Congress out. Attached is the Daily Treasury Statement for February 5, 2026, the month the Venezuelan money left Qatar. The State Department, which runs the fund, deposited $514 million in a single day. The prior two-year high for that line was $54 million. Since January it has taken in $14.5 billion against a normal year of $3.4 billion, roughly $11 billion more than it should have. About $3.5 billion has been documented going back to Venezuela. That leaves about $7.5 billion nobody has accounted for.

SO, we took a country's primary revenue stream at gunpoint, routed it through a bank in Qatar, then a Citibank account, handed the sales to two Swiss traders with federal bribery cases, put the Pentagon in business with a man the Justice Department once named in a $1.2 billion PDVSA laundering case, and declared the whole thing immune from American courts by decree. Okay....

A little more on the people we handed this to.

(1) Trafigura is the Swiss trading house that sells the oil and now carries Venezuela's gold to US refineries too. In March 2024 it pleaded guilty in a Miami federal court to bribing Brazilian officials and paid $126 million. That is a felony conviction less than two years old, and it was handed a no-bid contract to market another country's oil "at the request of the U.S. government."

(2) Vitol, the other trader, paid $135 million in 2020 under a deferred prosecution agreement for bribery in three countries. One of Vitol's senior traders gave $5 million to the president's super PAC, then stood in the White House on January 9 and told Trump that the "influence you have over the Venezuelans" would make sure he got what he wanted. Vitol had the first contract five days later.

(3) Alejandro Betancourt is the Venezuelan businessman the Pentagon just took a 35 percent stake alongside. His earlier company, Derwick Associates, won billions in no-bid power-plant contracts under Chávez. Federal prosecutors in Miami named him as an unindicted co-conspirator in a $1.2 billion scheme to launder PDVSA money. He hired Rudy Giuliani in 2019 to lobby the Justice Department about it. The AP reports that investigation was "paused earlier this year." Spain reopened its own case against him in June. He has never been charged and denies wrongdoing, and he now has the United States military as a business partner under a contract nobody outside the government has read.

(4) And David Rivera, a former congressman and Marco Rubio's old housemate, was convicted on May 1 of acting as an unregistered foreign agent after taking a $50 million contract from Citgo's parent company to lobby for normalizing relations with the Maduro government. Rubio testified at his trial. Rubio's State Department now signs off on every dollar that leaves the Venezuela account.

The president says we "paid for that war many times over" and that "to the victor belong the spoils." The executive order says it isn't our money. Bessent says it's our asset and won't say how big. Meanwhile Venezuela's acting president spent July writing to King Charles begging for gold in a London vault while we sat on eleven billion dollars of her country's oil revenue.

The written agreement Bessent promised Congress in February still has not been produced. When asked Tuesday when they'd get it: "I'll check with my staff."

Sure as heck looks like we are stealing from Venezuela and Congress doesn't have a clue, doesn't care, or both.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Ron White to Joe Rogan: Talarico didn't cost this state $6 million in fines and lawsuits, and that happened with Ken Paxton. Guess who paid that $6 million? You and me paid the $6 million for his bribery. His own party impeached him. He's a criminal. He's a piece of shit.
