Parts of LA are in flames. “Solidarity protests” have erupted in major cities throughout America, including Austin and San Antonio. On the upcoming 250th anniversary of the US Army—and Flag Day, to boot—nationwide “No Kings” protests are planned. Surely, some of this violence is planned, paid for, and promulgated by key progressive players like George...
Thomas Jefferson—author of the Declaration of Independence, our third president, and the founder of the University of Virginia—believed deeply in the power of education to serve a free society. For him, a university was not merely a place to learn facts—it was a training ground for citizens and leaders, guided by reason, liberty, and the pursuit...
While the media focuses on the disturbing incidences of rioting and looting in Los Angeles, it is avoiding telling the public the real story behind the headlines. The left wants you to believe the Trump Administration is carrying out random “raids” targeting hard working migrants who simply came to America to pursue a better quality...
Customs and Border Protection officers broke up a scheme by two scientists from China who attempted to smuggle in deadly fungal samples that could have done widespread destruction to American crops and harm human health. Deemed an “agroterror” threat, the couple intended to reproduce the samples. At least one of the two was connected to an...
Is Texas the best state in the country for parents? If it isn’t yet, it is moving that way. Senate Bill 12, aka the “Parents Bill of Rights” by authors Sen. Brandon Creighton and Rep.

Every Friday morning, I join the Cardle & Woolley Show on 1370 Talk Radio in Austin to announce the week’s Winners & Losers. While the battle between Donald J. Trump and Elon Musk rages on (I’m betting on Trump) and since the Texas Legislature has closed up shop for the season, here’s who made the...
The DOJ discovered millions of dollars in fraud hidden in false food stamp reporting. President Donald J. Trump’s Department of Justice uprooted hidden millions May 29, charging an employee at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and five New York residents with defrauding the federal government of “$66 million in unauthorized transactions under the Supplemental Nutrition...
As Congress works on President Donald Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill”, conservative lawmakers have an opportunity—and responsibility—to eliminate the 45Q tax credit for carbon capture and sequestration (CCS). This tax credit isn’t about climate responsibility or innovation. It’s about corporate welfare. It’s another example of Washington handing taxpayer dollars to powerful companies under the guise of...
In 1916, after Pancho Villa’s deadly raid on Columbus, New Mexico, President Woodrow Wilson mobilized nearly 110,000 National Guard troops to the southern border. Their mission was clear: repel cross-border incursions, restore order, and secure the American homeland. Four decades later, President Dwight D. Eisenhower faced a different threat—a mass illegal migration crisis, following the...
