@MaryEliseCos @AAGDhillon@CivilRights@brianeharrison Who are all these Texans saying Brian Harrison is a bad Representative?
Where is “Aggie” Rep Jared Patterson?
MIA as usual!
Pathetic Aggie Republicans need to resign.
🚨 NEW: Magistrate Judge Teresa Stokes, who RELEASED 14-time criminal DeCarlos Brown Jr., is also the "Director of Operations" at Second Chance Services, a mental health and addiction clinic in Charlotte, NC.
DOES THIS JUDGE RELEASE VIOLENT CRIMINALS INTO HER TREATMENT CENTER TO GET PAID BY A GOVT CONTRACT?
INVESTIGATE THIS RACKET!

The story I broke about @TAMU punishing a student who objected to LGBTQ indoctrination is TRENDING.
If the Texas government is going to continue forcing taxpayers to fund transgenderism…
and stop all my bills to end it…
I will NOT be silent…
I’ll tell the world.
So true president Trump! Contrast this with statements that deride prayer or relegate it to the imagination such as "Thoughts and prayers have done nothing...". Prayer is an essential part of American life, and we here at BCSYR encourage everyone to do so daily.
H-1Bs are fundamentally anti-American.
The free market must only be free for our people, not foreigners with no allegiance to America.
Thank you to the Young Republicans of Texas for taking a stand on this issue!
In a call recorded by a Denton County precinct chair and obtained by Current Revolt, Rep. Jared Patterson threatens to sue precinct and county chairs who vote to censure him.

Then came one of the biggest financial updates of the meeting...from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
What he revealed was staggering.
Bessent said that America is now pulling in RECORD tariff revenues...between $500 BILLION and $1 TRILLION a year...and the budget deficit is already down 26% from Biden’s last year in office.
These are not small numbers.
Bessent explained how Trump flipped the system on its head.
The days of unbalanced international trade are over, and with that comes a massive influx of cash directly affecting America’s deficit.
“On the international front you have a leveled the international trading system whereby countries took advantage of us and that’s over. It’s OVER.”
“The Treasury Department is in is taking in record tariff revenues that I had been saying was running at a rate of 300 billion a year.”
“You chastised me for saying that—number is too low. And as usual, you we’re right, that we had a substantial, jump from July to August, and I think we’re going to see a bigger jump from August to September.”
“So I think we could be on our way, well, over half a trillion, maybe the, towards the trillion dollar number.”
“This administration, your administration, has made a meaningful dent in the budget deficit.”
Even the CBO, which often clashes with the Trump administration, had to concede: the deficit is projected to drop by $4 trillion over the next decade.
“The average budget deficit during this term is 26% less than the last 12 months under Biden and even the CBO, and we don’t agree with CBO on everything as you said, last Friday—had to admit that they believe over the next ten years the budget deficit will be 4 trillion lower than they had previously scored.”
And according to Bessent, that number could go even higher.
“4 trillion: 3.3 trillion of tariff income, 700 billion of lower interest cost, and, you know, I would expect that that number could go up from here.”
The Vice President JD Vance then had his turn to speak.
He didn’t waste the moment.
Instead, he meticulously laid out just how far America has come in only a few months under Trump, after inheriting an absolute DISASTER from Biden.
First up: jobs.
Under Biden, all net job growth went to the foreign-born. Under Trump, that growth is finally going to American citizens who deserve it.
“All of the net job growth under the Biden administration had done to the foreign-born, now that net job growth is going to American citizens who deserve opportunity in their own country.”
Then came the deficit.
Vance reminded everyone that they inherited the largest peacetime deficit in American history....yet Trump’s trade policies are now pulling in trillions over ten years through tariffs.
“People forget that we inherited the LARGEST peacetime deficit in the history of the United States of America, and now—we’re collecting hundreds of billions of dollars, trillions of dollars over ten years in tariffs from countries and companies that were formerly taking advantage of the American people.”
And it wasn’t just about dollars. Vance said safety is the most sacred thing a government can give its people.
Thanks to Trump’s crackdown, working Americans, not just the wealthy, can finally feel safe in their own neighborhoods again.
“You heard Pam talk about the public safety and the success we’ve had there. I happen to believe that maybe the most sacred thing we can deliver to American workers, is the ability to live safely and comfortably in their own neighborhoods.”
“Public safety is not just something that should belong to the wealthy. It should belong to every working man and woman in the United States of America, and because of the work of this administration, that is happening.”
He finished by slamming Biden’s inflation disaster, revealing a stat that shocked even the room:
Housing costs doubled under the Biden administration.
Truly shocking.
“Mr. President, you yourself talked about the inflation mess that we inherited under the Biden administration.”
“Maybe the most striking and even shocking statistic of the Biden administration is that housing costs have gone up by 100% over the four years of the Biden administration—literally doubled, making the American dream of homeownership unaffordable.”
Vance closed with a promise: there’s a lot more work to do...and they’re not slowing down.
“We’ve made great strides and great progress already. But to the American people who are listening, there’s a lot more to do. We’re going to keep on working hard at it.”
This is when things got interesting.
As Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard has spent months shaking Washington with bombshell after bombshell on the Russia Coup of 2017.
When Trump asked her to speak, she told him that the intel community’s corruption was worse than anyone thought.
She doubled down on her mission statement of transparency.
Gabbard: “Mr. President, you have charged me with the mission of finding the truth and telling the truth to the American people, and we’ve exposed some of the worst examples of the weaponization of intelligence in the last several weeks.”
“I will continue down that mission and that path, wherever it leads. Transparency, telling the truth is what will drive true accountability for the American people who deserve nothing less.”
Then Trump dropped a jaw-dropper of his own.
He revealed that Gabbard’s team had recovered unburned “burn bags” stuffed with classified material tied to the 2020 election...and asked when the public would see them.
Trump: “And you’ve also found many bags of information, I think they call them burn bags. They’re supposed to be burned and they didn’t get burned having to do with how corrupt the 2020 election was, and when will that all come out?”
Gabbard: “Mr. President, I will be the first to brief you once we have that information collected.”
“But you’re right—we are finding documents literally tucked away in the back of safes, in random offices, in these bags and in other areas, which, again, speaks to the intent of those who are trying to hide the truth from the American people and trying to cover up the politicization that was led by people like John Brennan and James Clapper and others that have caused immeasurable harm to the American people and to our country.”
Wow.
Transparency is FINALLY coming and what’s buried inside those bags could shake the nation.
Ed Johnson, election integrity expert, alerts me to a danger to the implementation of the Texas redistricting plan and election integrity. He discovered an amendment slipped thru the regular session that allows voters to move their registration within counties on election day, enabling organized efforts to swamp one district with voters from another in the big counties to game redistricting.
He met with @GregAbbott_TX yesterday to discuss the problem and to discuss adding a solution to the problem to this second special session.
The video below shows State Rep Matt Shaheen adding this problematic language on May 28. Note the pleased reaction of Dem Reps Erin Zweiner and John Bucy in the video.
The offending language added a new section to Election Code 15.025: "(e) A voter’s registration takes effect immediately upon the registrar’s receipt of a notice of the voter’s change of address submitted under Section 15.021, Section 63.0011, Section 15.053, or Chapter 20 if the voter changes
residence within the same county as the voter’s current registration address."
Before I heard about this problem, I have said that I think the evidence shows that the price extracted from the Burrows Uniparty Team for the Dems putting him into power this session was the gutting of election integrity laws.
I think this more evidence of cooperation between the Dems and the Burrows team to thwart election integrity.
If you agree that this issue needs to be fixed, use this link, I urge you to contact the governor's office, urging him to add a fix for this same day registration problem to the special session call. https://t.co/pGc9N626jR
This is the text I used in my submission:
Please add to the second special session call: Legislation that will not allow any immediate effect of voter registration within 30 days of an election.
Specifically, Texas Election Code 15.025(e) that was added as an amendment to 89th SB 2217 needs to be deleted.
***
BTW, note that no one snapped to the problem as the amendment was introduced at the end of a very long session in the hard slog in consideration of lots of bills. I am not sure I would have, either. I thank Ed Johnson for this catch and his efforts to rectify it.
Texans - if you did not know… SENATE BILL 22 steals billions of your dollars (that should’ve been returned to you to eliminate property taxes) and gives it to rich, liberal Hollywood elites.
The Texas government is turning us into California…
And making YOU pay for it!
@bradj_TX HR4 previous question was not an LP, but can be considered against the RPT principles. Not allowing amendments, No debate, is against Robert’s Rules and Mason’s rules that the legislature operates by.
