While a selection of our so-called ‘Conservative’ GOP State Representatives in Austin cave and vote Democrats in the Texas Legislature to achieve power, President Donald Trump in Our Nation’s Capital is showing how TRUE CONSERVATIVES deal with Democrats. You HOLD THE LINE. DON’T WAVER. You pound and you pound and you pound, until you win. And that’s exactly what happened when enough Democrat Senators in D.C. said ‘No Mas.’ and voted to end the Federal Government Shutdown after 40 days and nights. And that’s the way it should be with Democrats in a civil war, but in Texas, which should be solid Red, we have a split Texas GOP with a faction possibly setting itself for another fractured 2027 session compromising with Democrats for power over real Conservative Republicans. Could we see another Dustin Burrows House Speakership? With Democrats, in committees with power positions? AGAIN? One lady at a recent luncheon I attended got on me about a recent column I wrote on the limp delegation of the Texas GOP, the RINOs, but I was ushered away before I could respond. I’m glad my family member took me to my table, because I was about ready to unload on her and cause a scene. I’m serious about politicians who represent my county, not pussy-footing around. The emperor has no clothes. And frankly I don’t care how many so-called ‘Conservative’ endorsements a candidate receives, if they are not ABIDING to True Conservative standards, those OK’s don’t mean squat. Even if an endorsement comes from Trump himself. And let’s be honest, what does Trump know about Texas Legislative politics? We need Trump Standards of Leadership and Transparency at all levels of government in Texas. That’s not happening here in Texas. Trump Talks the Talk and Walks the Walk. It’s real. And his leadership shows, for he is non-apologetic to a party that does not respect America, Our Constitution, nor Our Flag.
With 8 Democrat Senators backing down in Washington over the weekend, and the government now back up and running, it’s time to get back going. First off, the House and Senate need to stop being paid during any future government shutdowns. Hit Democrats where it hurts. Not in the balls, because they ain’t got none, but in their pocketbooks. We’ve seen with USAID how taking away the funds from worthless projects that in no way reflect proper interests, how the Democrat teet is shrinking, unable to fuel efforts that demoralize our society, or spread immoral ideas across the planet that confuse and deter righteousness in far off places we’ve never heard of. By holding to America First principles, Trump is showing The American People how a properly run country is supposed to support its citizens. The President is about to issue $2,000 checks to citizens, which is directly attributable to the Tariff dollars that the government has collected just this year, just in time for Christmas. Can you imagine how that will affect families this holiday season? I don’t know if I’m getting one, but if I do, I will have to decide whether to get a new iPhone 17, or spend it on hookers and blow. lol. I’m kidding. Of course, I will get a bunch of $50s and hand it out to deserving people like whenever I get a windfall; and it will mean even more since Christmas is around the corner.
The recent elections in New York and Virginia, were a wake-up call for 2026, but it’s not a lost cause; and with the doubling down of Democrat, or rather Socialist policies, those places will still have to suffer. New York City, with Zohran Mamdani being elected Mayor, is forcing more people who actually pay taxes to flee the city. Florida is having another real estate boom. $100 million plus so far in contracts in spots in the past 60 days. And to tell the truth, until NYC goes into complete civil war, nothing is going to change. Their White Democrat voting majority will overpower those who suffer, and until those same White Dems fear the thugs who are stealing, mugging, and terrorizing innocent families, nothing is going to change for the better. It’s the minorities in that city who see the light, and want Right of Center leadership, but even their second choice for Mayor against Mamdani was generally responsible for tens of thousands of senior citizen deaths during the pandemic. Virginia, in electing America hating leaders will further deepen its hole, and lag behind the rest of the economy. We also need action in The Fed cutting interest rates, which are still too high. We need to give first time home-buyers confidence, and a real chance to own a piece of the American Dream. We need major help in reducing medical insurance premiums and procedure costs and fees, and knowing Trump, he will tackle that in time.
It’s more than obvious Dems play checkers, while Trump plays chess, that is why Democrats and their supporters are so predictable. Any Republican President before Trump, would have accepted the onus of the government shutdown being placed on them by the media. That doesn’t happen anymore since 47 neutered the media. Our RINO Texas Legislators played a big part in giving power to Democrats for the recent government shutdown this year. “There is nothing we can do,” they said, while their Democrat friends ran for the hills. Then our RINOS had to pack their groins with toilet paper and actually do something saying, “We got big balls too!” It’s laughable. Too little too late. By calling the Democrats on their bluffs, the President has demonstrated that’s how you deal with pansies. Trump dropped a truth bomb in the Democrat Senate caucus and they are running around like chickens with their heads-cut-off. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s own people are calling for his head on a platter, and it happened on November 9th, the 36th Anniversary of The Fall of the Berlin Wall, when another Socialist-Democrat regime failed.
Bernie Sanders, whose reputation is in shambles, is on a tirade, but truly who listens to him? And after this whole episode, the 2026 midterms aren’t as scary as they may seem. Trump and the Republicans in the House and Senate are doing their job in placing an even playing field in elections, trade, foreign and domestic policy, and it shows. And despite the longest shutdown in US history, the National GOP is looking in the best shape, perhaps in our own lifetimes. No one wants to go back to the days of former GOP House Leader Bob Michel, who was as linguine spined as they came. He would have made a great State Representative, lol, telling his people not to make waves against the Democrats, whom he partied and played golf with.
You know the really great thing about the vote to end the government shutdown, is that it was a complete Democrat failure, a pure Trump victory. The Democrats who made outrageous demands to fund illegal alien healthcare and help Obamacare, well, the Dems got nothing. Except all the blame of course. Pennsylvania Senator John Federman, admitted that the shutdown is a disaster of the first order for the Democrats, and as he heals from his illness, he may fully come to his senses and switch parties.
Democrats have no one on deck to take on its leadership role. California Governor Gavin Newsom may style himself as the leader, but he is as inept as Kamala Harris, but the man who continues to run his state into the ground, who exaggerates with his hands when he talks, as much as Harris cackles when she speaks, he has nothing to run on. California is a mess. The state actually stinks. Their economic and environmental policies are needlessly killing jobs. They’ve dang near run out every refinery in the state, with regular gas now near $5/gallon, expected to double in the next year or two. And get this, the tankers that bring in the oil to refine are messy, smelly, vessels that go completely against the environmental aims the state has set for itself.
Nothing goes right for the Democrats, and quite simply, if it weren’t for Donald Trump, who knows where we would be now in the scheme of things. The shutdown was supposed to ruin him, the indictments, RINO Republicans betrayed him, the media tried to destroy him. Nothing has worked for them. What doesn’t kill Trump makes him stronger. The Democrats trump-card of rigged elections in 2020 even backfired, displacing independents, Latinos, working class voters, GenZ men, all who seemed to have migrated to Trump in order to remain viable, and self-sustaining. And thanks to States cleaning up their voting issues, finally some fair elections were able to take place, where the real winner, Donald Trump, was able to triumph.
Red States that follow Trump are havens for voters that want lower cost of living issues, lower taxes, general affordability, respect for the rule of law, and lower energy costs. Then there are social issues, for raising kids’ right, parental rights over schools, no trans kids in girls bathrooms, nor gender affirming issues, trans story hour, critical race theory, plus a ton of other things.
The Trump Effect, the man’s ability to look at wars and say ‘NO’ to most of them, and still not win The Nobel Peace Prize (which is a complete joke). By standing by his principles, by him saying no to illegal immigration, and meaning it. Keeping his promise to reduce crime by removing the worst of the illegal criminals, and putting the Fear of God into the rest into wanting to self-deport, that’s the person for the job. In less than a year the Country has changed so much for the good.
I know this piece is gonna make some people mad, but I write from the heart. So be it. Heck, if I hadn’t seen communism first hand, I might be a RINO myself. But I did see it, and it hurts people. Hence my attitude about Democrats, and how they have dwindled into small minds; those multiple-degreed idiots that I so lovingly write about. Compromising with Democrats is not the aim. Them compromising with you is the name of the game, and we just saw that with the Senate vote to end the government shutdown. Dems caved. Bravo!!!
I’m going to continue to fight to UNIFY the TEXAS GOP, and if that makes you mad, then you might want to go Right of Center, of Right of Center, grow some big balls, and you won’t wind up on my s-list.
