Islamist influence in Texas remains a real and ongoing concern. For more than a decade, money has continued to flow through the state from non-profits, non-governmental organizations (NGO), disaster relief groups, and even from the state agencies, to push a Muslim-centric ideology. It was just last year that Gov. Greg Abbott issued the proclamation to...
So, now we know what happened — or do we? Last week, on the streets of suburban Minneapolis, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent shot and killed, a 37-year-old woman. What was planned as the “largest immigration operation ever” was derailed in mere seconds. Renee Nicole Good was driving a dark grey Honda Pilot,...
Newsom’s budget gimmicks ignore the core issue: expanding programs without safeguards, then begging for bailouts when the math implodes. As a former California state assemblyman who spent four years on the Budget Committee, I had a front-row seat to Sacramento’s obsession with “pulling down” federal dollars, turning welfare programs into a free-for-all. Then-state Auditor Elaine...
Radical groups are causing confrontations with federal agents to spark nationwide unrest and undermine Republicans. As the Trump administration ramps up enforcement against illegal immigration and cracks down on welfare fraud, the radical left is escalating its tactics in a calculated bid to create martyrs. We’ve seen this before, but today’s ideological fervor, backed by deep-pocketed donors...
Every Friday morning, I join the Cardle & Woolley Show on Talk 1370 Radio in Austin to announce the week’s Winners & Losers. The holidays are totally over now, and 2026 is up and running in earnest with big happenings all over the world—and in Texas. Here’s who made the list: WINNER: Trump Takes...
When I entered the first grade, I was assigned to the lowest reading group. This came as a shock to my mom, as I had always loved books. Over the winter break, my mom and I read from “Fun with Zip and Zap,” a phonics chapter book. When I returned to school after the break,...
Last month, Comptroller Kelly Hancock’s office launched the official website for the state’s new school choice program, known as Texas Education Freedom Accounts. Under TEFA, eligible Texas children can receive public funds deposited into a personalized account to be used for approved education expenses. These include private school tuition, textbooks, tutoring, specialized therapies, transportation to...
Foreign intervention, for many millennials like myself, has the taste of bitter fruit. Just the phrase passing our lips is going to produce turned-up noses followed by talking points about how many of our overseas adventures failed. I am one of those fist clenchers — at least I thought I was. Still, coming to “trust...
In this article, I explained how library organizations focus on Leftist obsessions like race and sexuality instead of education. The downsides of Leftist content in classrooms are obvious—instead of acquiring knowledge, students are indoctrinated into Marxist views of history, economics, and biology. But the real danger of this focus on Leftist drivel, however, runs much...
In the wake of the narco-regime’s takedown, five lessons emerge — for the region, for the U.S., and for the world. Venezuela’s corrupt leaders got away with it for too long. They sent forth millions of their own citizenry to be trafficked, and they got away with it. They trafficked the drugs that killed and addicted...
Nearly all political sentiment for the past decade has been mediated through the lens of prior reaction to Donald Trump. Those who like the American president, or at least aren’t fixated on him, tend to give his actions in government a fair assessment. So, in the case of the American raid on Caracas to arrest Nicolás Maduro,...
Fraud investigations are engulfing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, but that isn’t the only issue demanding attention in that state. The state’s election system is being exposed for vulnerabilities that undermine transparency and confidence in democracy. Recent reporting has brought renewed attention to just how permissive Minnesota’s election framework has become. The state allows voters to...
