We have a big problem up here in DFW.

…Two constables, four police chiefs and over 3,000 other Texans were members of the Oath Keepers, report says

A recent analysis of Oath Keepers’ membership rolls leaked last year found that Texas had more members of the far-right extremist group than any other state — and the most who worked as elected officials, law enforcement officers or members of the military.



I say fire them ALL. Start over. Hire more minorities and people with more education and different
Backgrounds.

When you only hire hammers everything looks like a nail.

A massive sticker of U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz holding the belly of a very pregnant Gov. Greg Abbott has popped up on the side of an abandoned building in Southtown.

In the image, Abbott is wearing a "MAGA" shirt, which is lifted to reveal his pregnant belly, while Cruz gently holds the governor with his left hand. A figure of Jesus holding a gold semiautomatic rifle hovers over the two politicians, who are made to seem like a couple in the sticker. The image also includes the acronym "WWJD," apparently for the popular phrase "What Would Jesus Do?"

Florida Minister bringing candidates before congregation to endorse CRT and school districts.

and does it on camera…

Last Sunday, Pastor Greg Peters of Parkview Church in Palm Coast, Florida brought on stage three candidates for the Flagler County School Board and urged his congregation to vote for all three in order to “flip” the district so it’s under conservative Christian control.

Endorsing political candidates is literally the one thing a non-profit/church cannot do if it wants to maintain its non-profit status with the IRS, but conservatives Christians have long believed the rules don’t apply to them, and the IRS has been too cowardly (or short-staffed) to go after them.

It’s Parkview Church (Florida) and his name is Greg Peters
