I’m no economist, but none of these lower the costs of anything…
Turns out, offering free stuff to get elected is a great strategy.
Then, when you are elected, you just massively increase the size of government for fun!
Texas already has 1084 bills pre-filed for the next session.
Legalize pot
Redistrict
Red flag laws
Property tax increases
Expand eligibility for Medicaid including low-income individuals
New rules on water rights
New rules on subdivisions
Electric utility "monopolies"
Raise state minimum wage to $15/hr
Prohibition of construction of border security measures on state park lands
A "Texas solution" to reforming and addressing issues related to the Medicaid program, including the creation of an alternative program designed to ensure health benefit plan coverage to certain low-income individuals through the private marketplace; requiring a fee.
Reducing ad valorem tax breaks for farmers
Using public funds for lobbying activities
Designating August "Firearm Safety Awareness Month"
The list is massive. Feel free to look at it yourself here:
capitol.texas.gov/Reports/Re…
Under Gina Hinajosa on DAY 1, Texas Democrats propose:
Ban on "assault weapons," including possession
(SB 80)
FELONY to transfer many semiautomatic rifles to adults under 21 (HB 173)
Lets cities and counties chip away at statewide gun protections (HB 712)
Background checks on private gun sales (HB 613)
Dealers must report people who buy multiple guns or magazines (HB 659)
Repeal the 2025 Texas law that BANNED red flag orders (HB 218)
45% of Texas households own guns. Elections have consequences folks!
Their plan:
- Keep Texas blue
- Turn it into “Medina of America”
We tried to tell you. Now, they’re saying it.
WOAH 🚨 Muslim leaders are now openly declaring that right now is their chance to takeover Texas after the Democrat Midterms results
They say they will capture Texas for Muslims and make Texas the new “Medina of America, let’s make it that” and they will install Sharia Law, “We're Muslim, and that's why we want Islam for this country”
“In Texas now with the new project because — the entire state, to their surprise, actually turned into blue — this is a chance for us Muslims to grab. By the will of Allah. Alhamdulillah, we see in Dallas a great potential, a great potential for the Ummah (meaning their new nation)
And the reason you have a lot of Islamophobes trying to derail you is because they see it as well. They see, as the media has called it, Darul Hijrah of America now, right? And insha'Allah — by the will of Allah, it will happen.
What does Allah tell us? That in the end, the victory is for the people of taqwa. The victory will come, no doubt to that. We're either gonna be victorious or shuhada, we're not coming back. Insha'Allah”
Dallas, a blessed city, Texas, the great state of Texas — the dawah is gonna grow. People call this the Medina of America. Well, let's make it that. We're Muslim, and that's why we want Islam for this country, because we think that's the best thing. You have to stand firm”
He then says they Muslims will have victory
THEY ARE LITERALLY TELLING YOU their plan is to capture Texas and make it a new the new Medina of America”
My question is where is the CIA? Where is the military? We have Muslims openly planning on taking over our country and states
Like absolute clockwork.
The agenda is to outnumber Republicans permanently.
The midterm election was the trial run.
The vicious cycle:
- Young man sees wealthy adults.
- Young man has loads of college debt.
- Young man struggles to get a job that pays off his debt, allows him to get a home and have expendable income to enjoy his life.
- Women reject him based on a couple of factors:
1. Not interesting enough: “All he does is work.”
2. Cannot provide for a family yet.
3. Doesn’t have an optimal financial situation: “He doesn’t own a home.”
- He becomes dejected about courting, and largely checks out.
- Workforce is filled with DEI hires, immigrant workers, less opportunity for him (a young white guy) based on his skin color
- Church doesn’t meet him where he is: All they offer are donuts, bad coffee and an opportunity to be a door greeter.
- When church talks about men’s issues, they only say how men MUST stand up and provide for women’s needs.
- Boomers tell him to “pull himself up by the bootstraps.”
- All of this compounds as he sees his male peers facing the same problems.
- Democrats come in, offering revolution and free benefits.
It’s obvious why Democrats are picking up steam.

Pray with me
November 10, 2026
Heavenly Father,
You are our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Though the earth gives way and the mountains fall into the sea, we will not fear, because You are with us (Psalm 46:1-3).
Thank You that in Jesus Christ we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken. Give us grateful hearts, and teach us to worship You with reverence and awe (Hebrews 12:28). When circumstances unsettle us, steady our hearts in Your promises. When the nations rage, remind us that Your throne is established forever.
Forgive us for placing our confidence in things that cannot hold us. Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in Your name (Psalm 20:7). Our hope rests in the risen King, whose dominion will never pass away and whose kingdom will never be destroyed (Daniel 7:14).
Let Your kingdom come and Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Begin in us. Bring our thoughts, words, desires, and decisions under the gracious rule of Jesus. By Your Spirit, make our lives bear the fruit of Your kingdom: righteousness, peace, and joy (Romans 14:17).
Give us courage to obey You, compassion to serve our neighbors, and endurance to remain faithful. Keep us steadfast, always abounding in Your work, knowing that our labor in the Lord is never in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58).
Whatever this day brings, help us seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness. We belong to Jesus. Our future is held in His hands, and His kingdom cannot be shaken.
In the mighty name of Jesus, amen.
Anyone who’s played the game Monopoly knows that it’s called MONOPOLY and NOT Capitalism.
Why is it that projects can take up to 17 years to get approval?!
This is MADDENING:
The SunZia transmission line waited 17 YEARS for federal approval.
Cape Wind spent 16 years tangled in permitting before it was ABANDONED.
NuScale spent $500 million and two MILLION LABOR HOURS just to get a nuclear reactor design through.
The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026 is a giant permitting reform package.
Basically, clears out the government red tape that holds projects in a holding period for years, so America can build power plants, energy projects, and infrastructure faster.
CONGRESS SHOULD PASS THIS TONIGHT! Let America build again!
PSA for Muslims,
As many festivals are approaching that are celebrating Thanksgiving and Christmas,
Please refrain from committing acts of terror, such as shooting at innocent festival goers and driving your vehicles into large crowds.
A little consideration and respect go a long way 💫❤️
Dear non-Muslims,
As Ramadan is just 92 days away,
Please avoid eating in front of Muslims who are fasting.
Please avoid drinking in their presence.
Do not deliberately tempt those observing the fast.
Muslims will be fasting from dawn until sunset.
A little consideration and respect go a long way. ❤️🌙
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Non-Muslims are not required to avoid eating or drinking near those who are fasting. Guides and many Muslims say the fast is a personal obligation; normal eating by non-Muslims is fine; not eating in front of others is an optional courtesy, but is not obligatory.

“Just allow them to come in and live peacefully.”
THIS GUY DESTROYED THE REMAINS OF SANTA CLAUS.
BONES attributed to Saint Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, kept since 1098 in Saint-Nicolas-de-Port, in Meurthe-et-Moselle, were STOLEN from their reliquary inside the basilica, then DESTROYED.
The suspect, arrested at his home, admitted to SMASHING the display case protecting the reliquary, then stealing its contents, BURNING the bones and CRUSHING them out of a “desire to destroy.”

Pray with me
November 9, 2026
Heavenly Father,
Bless us and keep us. Make Your face shine upon us and be gracious to us. Lift Your countenance upon us and give us peace (Numbers 6:24-26).
Strengthen us with power through Your Spirit, so that Christ may dwell in our hearts through faith. Root us deeply in Your love, and help us grasp how wide, long, high, and deep the love of Christ truly is (Ephesians 3:16-19).
Establish the work of our hands. Give us wisdom for every decision, integrity in every responsibility, and generosity with everything You entrust to us. Make us a blessing to the people You place in our path (Psalm 90:17; James 1:5; 1 Peter 4:10).
Let Your Word dwell richly in our homes. Teach us to forgive as You have forgiven us, to speak with grace, and to put on love, which binds everything together in harmony (Colossians 3:12-16).
May the God of hope fill us with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit we may abound in hope. Whatever this day holds, keep our hearts faithful and our eyes fixed on Jesus (Romans 15:13; Hebrews 12:2).
In Jesus’ name, amen.
You’re not allowed to sing or show your face or have an opinion or be happy or be proud of anything. Your micro-bladed brows, makeup, and fake lashes are anathema. 74 lashes for you. Your social media and travel is now banned. Up to 15 years in prison and a hijab clinic. Pay two million rials. Now go read “Law on Protecting the Family through the Promotion of the Culture of Chastity and Hijab.” Oh yeah…you’re not allowed to read.

Jesus didn’t say, “Repeat after me, and I’ll see you when you die.”
He said, “Follow me.”
The gospel is the announcement that Jesus Christ is Lord. The promised King came, died for our sins, was buried, rose from the dead, and reigns today.
That news calls for a response.
Repent. Turn from your sin. You’ve been running your own life. It’s not working out so well, is it?
Believe. Put your trust in Jesus, in who he is and what he accomplished through his death and resurrection.
Be baptized. Publicly identify with him. Become part of his people and learn to walk in his ways.
Can that begin with a prayer? Absolutely. Call on him. Ask for mercy. But understand who you’re calling on. He’s the risen Lord, and his invitation is to follow him with your whole life.
You don’t earn his grace by getting your act together. You come because you need his grace, and that grace begins changing you.
Your money. Your mouth. Your relationships. How you treat people when you’re tired, angry, or convinced you’re right. He can help with all of that.
And when you stumble, you return to the Savior whose mercy brought you here in the first place.
The King who calls you to surrender is the King who gave himself to save you.
He’s worthy of your trust. Follow him.
