Texas News

Trump goes after Texas hero Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth, and Hung Cao are preparing to dishonor one of Waco’s most honorable heroes. They are going to not name the aircraft carrier under construction in Virginia after Waco hero Doris “Dorie” Miller. Miller born in Waco, Texas was honored as a hero after his actions during the Pearl Harbor attack by the Japanese. Miller help to rescue many wounded sailors including the captain of the West Virginia. Miller was only allowed to be a cook in the Navy, since he was a black man. During the attack Miller took up firing an anti-aircraft gun and officially shot down a Japanese plane. Eye witness report said the number was between four and six. During the day the Japanese only lost a total of 29 planes. Miller’s feat is even more astounding because he was barred from training on how to use the anti-aircraft gun. Waco citizens have your republican state and federal legislators fight for Doris “Dorie” Miller. Big Ben National Park under republican attack Trump and republicans are destroying parts of Big Bend National Park in Texas. Bulldozes have been seen ripping up large sections of the park to build more unneeded physical barriers to stop illegal immigration. Some Texas lawmakers are upset with the move and environmental groups are up in arms. Trump is destroying a natural distinct environment for another low I.Q. waste project. We need Barack Obama back as president a sane and smart person. Democrats get more positive polling news in Texas There is more good polling news for Democrats in Texas. This time it is the Senate race. Democrat James Talarico is leading republican Ken Paxton by 5 percentage points and in a Fox News poll; Talarico is over 50%, which is a key milestone. Paxton for his part continues to believe Texans will vote for any republican no matter their record. Texas voters look to be ready to surprise Paxton. Paxton along with his many issues and his over confidence in republican voters voting for him just because he is a republican. Paxton’s entitlement maybe his down fall. Texas governor's race is close The Texas governor’s race is getting very interesting. Polling is showing that Gina Hinojosa, the Democratic state representative, is within the margin of error against republican governor Greg Abbott. Hinojosa has surged over the past weeks as polling is showing her with a 4%-point gain. There are still 10% of undecided voters per the polls. If that is the case, it is a good sign for Hinojosa as any undecided voters could likely go for her, since Abbott is known for his policies as governor. People of Texas you can send a strong message for saving America by voting Abbott out of office. Congressman Al Green will be in a runoff election for the Texas 18th district seat in Congress as none of the candidates for the seat were able to garner 50% of the vote. Christian Menefee received 46% of the vote and Green received 44%. The two Congressmen were placed in the same district after republican gerrymandering at the request of Donald Trump. The runoff election is scheduled for May 26, 2026. Go vote for the candidate of your choice, but vote. Texas republican Tony Gonzales finally admitted he lied about not having an affair with a staffer, who later committed suicide because of the trauma the affair had on her life. Gonzales called the affair a mistake and lapse in judgement. Most normal people would call an affair sin. A mistake is something that happens when you did not expect it. Sin is when you willingly commit and act that is wrong. He also said, the affair was a lapse in judgement. Gonzales knew what he was doing wrong and that it would cause pain, but he did it anyway. Gonzales said he takes full responsibility for the affair and has asked God to forgive him. He said, God has forgiven him, but Gonzales can not fix the pain he caused his wife, the staffer and her family. Mr. Gonzales there are consequences for sin, even when forgiven. You do not feel the pain you inflicted, but one day you will have to answer for it. Texas has denied Muslim schools the right to participate in their private school voucher program that uses public money to fund private and home schools. Texas said, the reason the Muslim schools cannot participate is because they have terrorist links. Texas continues to discriminate against Muslims and continues to make the Muslim religion out to be less than Christian religions. Texas’ voucher program appears to be a tax cut for white parents at the expense of public schools. Young people of Texas this is just wrong in all ways; taking public school money to fund private schools and then denying certain private schools the right to participate in the program. Young people vote out the racist republicans that are ruining Texas. Democratic Texas Congressman Al Green was escorted out of another State of the Union speech by Donald Trump. This year Green held up a sign that read “Black People Aren’t Apes”. The sign was in reference to Donald Trump and or a white house staffer, posting a video with a clip of the Obama’s having their head posted on ape bodies. The act was completely racist but Donald Trump refused to make any type of apology or find anything wrong. He claimed he did not see the whole clip and a staffer posted it. Al Green has proven again to the world that he will stand up to lawless and morally bankrupt Donald Trump and the republicans. The Super PAC Fairshake and its $200 million war chest are going after Texas Democratic Congressman Al Green in the upcoming Democratic primary on March 3rd in Texas. It is estimated that the crypto PAC is expected to spend up to $1.5 million to defeat Green. Green has been a outspoken critic of the crypto industry. The huge Fairshake war chest against him and the republicans reshaping his district could be hard for Green to overcome. One thing is for sure Green is a fighter and might overcome the odds. Young people another example of why Citizens United must be repealed. It gives all the power of elections to the rich and powerful. There are allegations that Texas Congressman, republican Tony Gonzales, had an affair with one of his staffer’s. Although allegations only at this time, there has been evidence produced that appear to confirm the affair took place. The stress from the alleged affair resulted in the suicide of the staffer. Rep. Gonzales had denied the affair but it is getting harder to do, as now republicans are calling for him to resign. Any inappropriate relationships with staffers are prohibited under House rules. This is another example for young women; you need to stay professional around powerful men. You are the ones who will end up hurt or worse off for the rest of your lives. The Citizens United ruling by the Supreme Court has turned America into a country where the rich and powerful simply give a big check to a candidate they want to win. Justice Alito mouthed that it was not true when President Obama in his State of the Union address said, this opens American politics to the highest bidder. We are now able to confirm that Alito was wrong and Obama was right. The American political system is in such disarray today due to the money of the Citizens United ruling that allowed the rich to buy the candidate of their choice. The big money is not supposed to gain the rich any favors, but again history has proven the rich and their massive amounts of money is being well spent. The latest example of big money buying into an election is in Texas. James Moyer a Texas businessman has given first time State Senate candidate Rhonda Ward a stunning $2 million for her campaign. Ward advised that there were no strings attached to the $2 million donation. Why would Moyer give $2 million to a first time candidate for an office in Texas where the republicans already hold a super majority? A federal judge has halted Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton from dissolving a Latino voter registration group. The group is the Jolt Initiative which registers young Latinos to vote in Texas and provides empowerment training to help them improve their lives and advance the Latino community. All young people of Texas check out the Jolt Initiative website, https://jolttx.org/ . Paxton and Texas republicans had accused Jolt of registering illegal immigrants. The judge ruled that Paxton and Texas had no proof of their accusations. Paxton and Texas republicans were again going after a minority group to help keep republicans in power. Democrat Taylor Rehmet defeated his republican opponent in the Texas state Senate District 9 race by 15 percentage points. This is a major victory for Democrat Taylor Rehmet as the district had been held by republican state senator Kelly Hancock who had been named acting state comptroller. This district was won by 17 percentage points by Donald Trump in the 2024 election. Both Donald Trump and Greg Abbott had endorsed Taylor Rehmet’s republican opponent but to no avail. The voters decided they had enough of republican leadership. Democrat Christian Menefee won Saturday’s runoff election to fill the seat of Sylvester Turner who died in office early in 2025. The seat has been open since March due to a shameless act of Texas governor, Greg Abbott who refused to call for an earlier election. Abbott did not want Democrats from the Texas 18th district to have representation in Congress for nearly a year. Greg Dirty Tricks Abbott will one day face the same harsh treatment he put on the voters of the 18th district. Now that Menefee has won he must now move to a new district due to more dirty moves by the republicans and the Supreme Court. Menefee has been moved to the district that Rep. Al Green now holds. The Supreme Court gave Texas the go ahead to pack all African American voters into as few districts as possible. This move was at the request of Donald Trump to keep the U.S. House in republican hands. The republican party has no shame when it comes to stealing and holding power. Young people of Texas, Greg Abbott is a republican first and Texas governor second. You must vote out all republicans because Greg Abbott and Donald Trump are their role models. Unlike Texas, California fought and won the court case brought against them by the federal government in their attempt to force California to turn over its voter registration information. Texas gave over their voter detailed information to the federal government without any fight. This week a federal judge ruled that California did not have to turn over their detail voter information to the federal government. The judge ruled the request by Donald Trump’s Dept. of Justice was unprecedented and illegal. Governor Gavin Newsom and Secretary of State Shirley Weber protected the voters of California, while Texas Governor republican Greg Abbott sold out his own Texas voters to please Donald Trump. Texas you need to start voting for Democrats as republicans only care about pleasing Donald Trump. It is a shame that a state that puts so much trust in republicans keeps getting burned. Texas governor, Greg Abbott, has betrayed the voters of Texas. Abbott and the State of Texas have sent all voter data in Texas to Donald Trump’s Justice Department. The information provided to Trump includes your name, address, driver’s license number, and the last four digits of the voter social security number. Why would Texas do this to their voters? It boils down to Donald Trump wanted your information and Greg Abbott was willing to give your information even with it being illegal to do so. Donald Trump can now control who gets to vote in Texas. The DOJ claims they are looking to purge the voter rolls of people who could be voting more than once. This is another big lie to go with the so-called stealing of the 2020 election. The information will be used to target non-republican voters and women. These are the groups who will be purged from voter rolls for no other reason than being a minority or a woman. Voters of Texas watch your credit information and you will need to keep checking with the State Election office to be sure you have not been purged from the voter rolls. This is the second time the people of Texas have had their personal information compromised by Donald Trump and the republicans. Let’s not forget about DOGE, they took data that had nothing to do with fraud. Jasmine Crockett, Democratic Congress Woman, from Texas announced she will enter the Democratic primary for Senator from Texas. Crockett a force in the US House has decided a Senate seat will give her a larger voice to fight for the people of Texas. Crockett is well known for her fights with republicans and her knowledge of the issues. She will be running against James Talarico in the primary. Texas young people it is time for a change. Vote out the old, mean, and racist Texas republicans. You have a easy choice to vote for someone who will protect your future. Vote in the primary on March 3, 2026. The U.S. Supreme Court has once again ruled in favor of Donald Ttrump and the republicans. The Court will allow the Texas gerrymandering map to stand. The new map discriminates against black and Hispanic voters by diluting their voting power to allow republicans to gain more seats in Washington. The Supreme Court’s six conservative justices agreed that harming minority voters is legal as long as it benefits republican politicians. Young people of America, the Supreme Court, the top court in the land allows lawlessness as long as republicans can gain from their rulings. Supreme Court, Justice Samuel Alito, overruled the federal judge that had barred Texas new gerrymandered map. Alito put a temporary pause on the ruling that the map was illegal. The conservative majority on the Supreme Court have nearly always ruled in favor of Donald Trump and the republican party. If the Court delays a ruling, then Texas will be able to use the map in next years elections. The new map gives the republican party an unfair advantage in Texas elections. Young people of Texas and the United States, if this ruling holds. The republicans will control all aspects of Texas politics now and in the future, unless the young people of Texas fight back at the ballot box. If the republicans win in Texas their form of gerrymandering will sweep America. God help us all, if this happens. A federal three-judge panel has blocked Texas from using the new Congressional map it approved in its special legislative session this year. Texas will have to use the map passed by the legislature in 2021 for the 2026 elections. Judge Jeffery Brown, who was appointed by Donald Trump, wrote the public perception is the new map was about politics. There is strong evidence that the new map is racially gerrymandered at the bequest of Donald Trump. Texas now will be appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court to allow the 2025 map to be used in the 2026 election cycle. With the recent rulings from the Supreme Court, it is highly likely Texas will win at the Supreme Court and minorities will be the losers. The Voting Rights Act stands in the balance. Young people do what is right and vote out the republicans and vote in fair play for all. Your generation believes in what is right, not power at the expense of others. Texas citizens will soon be able to collect a $100,000 bounty by suing anyone seeking abortion medications in Texas. The bounty can be claimed by suing anyone who manufactures, distributes, mails, or provides abortion medications to or from Texas. There are a few exceptions, where no bounty will be paid. The legislation once signed by Governor, Greg Abbott, will be nearly a total ban on abortions in Texas. It also turns Texas citizens and Texas families against each other. Young women of Texas you are losing your rights due to republicans in Texas. You Must register and then vote Democratic. Save your futures. Texas Democrats are returning to Texas next week. State representative, Democrat Gene Wu of Houston, said the democrats had reached a group decision to return to Texas. The return of the Democratic legislators will ensure republicans will pass their new gerrymandered congressional maps. If the new gerrymandered maps go as planned the republicans could gain five seats in the U. S. House of Representatives. The new maps weaken the ability of minority voters to have a meaningful vote in Texas. The Democrats will continue to contest the new maps in court. However, it is likely the U.S. Supreme Court will allow the new maps, without any regard to the voting rights act. The Voting Rights Act was put in place to deter blatant discrimination against minority voters. Republican greed and their quest for power continues to erode American values and democracy. The last hope will be the Texas voters in 2026. Will republican voters continue to vote republican, no matter how much damage is done to Texas and America? Texas state house Democrats will flee Texas and travel to Illinois to prevent the Texas republican lead super majority from passing the new gerrymandered law they recently approved. The republican effort to steal the 2026 election to benefit Donald Trump may not be able to pass if there are not enough legislators to have a quorum. Unfortunately leaving the state to prevent a quorum is the only option Democrats have available to stop this election stealing by republicans. The Democrats face $500 per day fines and the possibility of arrest. People of Texas do you share the same values as the republicans you keep voting into office. Their stains on moral values will get on you. The Texas super majority state legislature has drawn up a new district map to benefit republican candidates in the 2026 election. The new map carves up areas around large Texas cities that normally vote Democratic. The republican plan is to disenfranchise minority voters and gain up to six new republican seats in the next Congress. The republicans stated, the only reason for the new map is to increase republican power and keep control of the House of Representatives in 2026. They believe that the United States Supreme Court recent ruling allowing political gerrymandering gives them cover. The Voting Rights Act does not allow minority voters to be harmed by gerrymandering, but with this Supreme Court, minority voters will be harmed and the Supreme Court does not care. The republican party has no morals and their reckless actions will harm Texas and the country, even republicans. Things done to harm others will come back to harm everyone. Texas citizens must separate themselves from the evils of the republican party of Texas. Texas Governor, Greg Abbott, refuses to release emails between himself and Elon Musk from the 2025 legislative session. Abbott states, the emails are highly intimate or embarrassing. The Texas Supreme Court granted Abbott the right to refuse to share public records that Abbott considers highly intimate or embarrassing. Texas should protest King Abbott and all republicans, that consider themselves above the law. The citizens of Texas need to turn Texas blue to restore law and order to the state. Governor Gregg Abbott has proposed 18 agenda items for the upcoming Special Session of the Texas Legislature. Abbott wants consideration for a Flood Warning System and a Flood Communication system. If the legislature had passed these in earlier sessions, the large loss of life could have been avoided in the recent flash floods. Texas being Texas voted the Warning Systems down in the past. Power seems more important to Texas republicans than the lives of its citizens. Another agenda item added by Abbott was a redistricting plan to ensure republicans stay in power in Washington and Austin. This was a special request from Donald Trump’s Department of Justice. Even with the flash floods loss of life caused by callous republicans, they still want to hang on to power. The people of Texas need to understand that republicans are for themselves and not the people. Vote out every republican in Texas for a safer state and country. Weekend flash flooding in Central Texas has now claimed 119 lives, many of whom were young girls attending Camp Mystic. There are approximately over 170 people still missing. The 39 Network sends its condolences to all the families who lost loved ones. The heavy weight you are feeling at this time is horrible, but it will ease in time. It will take a while but it will become bearable. You will always feel the pain of the loss of your loved one, but the pain will ease. You will never forget, but you will know they are with God. We are on earth for a short time and we must live a life that will make Heaven our eternal home. Keep your faith and get closer to God. Texas state tax payers are out of 3 billion dollars due to Governor Gregg Abbot and the republican legislature political stunt. The group took Texas tax dollars to build an 805-mile-long state border wall. The group only built approximately 64 miles of the wall and there are numerous gaps in the part that was built. It appears Texas tax payers lined the pockets of the wall builders and no one else benefited except the Donald Trump, Greg Abbott, and the republican legislature. What real problem could $3 billion have fixed in Texas, Texas will never know. The only good part is Abbott and the republican legislature have dropped plans to spend the other $17 billion to finish the wall. When will Texas tax payers learn to stop voting for republicans? Texas governor, Greg Abbott, denies black voters of the 18th Texas Congressional district of having their voices heard. Abbott set a special election for November 4, 2025 to fill the vacant seat of Texas Representative Sylvester Turner, who died in office. This delay means there will be no representative for the district until November. Abbott could have called the special election much sooner, but he wanted to ensure the republican agenda would have one less NO vote and the people of the district would have no voice in Congress. Abbott like other republicans do not believe in an afterlife. Their only concerns appear to be the lust of their flesh for power, fame, and money. Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth removed the Jackie Robinson Army history story from the Department of Defense website. The removal was due to Donald Trump wanting to remove all signs of DEI along with any references to accomplishments by minorities. After questioning by ESPN, the DoD added the Jackie Robinson story back to the DoD website. Donald Trump freezes $175 million in federal funding to Pennsylvania University and $400 million in federal funding to Columbia University. The funds were frozen to attack the universities for not following orders from Donald Trump. Pennsylvania’s wrong doing per Trump was over a transgender swimmer. Columbia’s wrong doing was supposedly not protecting Jewish students. Both universities indicate they will make changes that Donald Trump’s federal regulators deem meet his desires. Donald Trump signs E.O. to shut down the Minority Business Development Agency. The agency was created in 1969 by President, Richard Nixon, to promote the growth and global competitiveness of Minority Business Enterprises. This is another example of Donald Trump and the republican party destroying anything that might benefit minorities and women Administrator, Lee Zeldin is rolling back many environmental regulations aimed at protecting the planet from climate change. The EPA will rewrite the 2009 report that linked greenhouse gases as a risk to public health and welfare. This report was the basis of climate change policy in the U.S. Texas 9th district Congressman, Al Green, has been censured by the U.S. House of Representatives for disrupting Donald Trump’s speech on the House floor. All republicans and nine Democrats voted to censure Rep. Green after he shouted “No mandate to cut Medicaid, No mandate” until he was removed by republican House Speaker Mike Johnson. Green left quietly and went to reporters to affirm his support for no cuts to Medicaid funding. Rep. Green a man who will defend his constituents no matter what cost he personally has to pay. Young people another good example of how to be bold.
Texas 18th district Congressman, Sylvester Turner has passed away at the age of 70. Turner was a past mayor of Houston and won his House of Representatives seat in November of 2024. He replaced Congresswoman Shelia Jackson Lee who also died in office. The nation and people of the 18th district have lost a true warrior. Young people take up the mantle of fighting for justice for all Americans just like Rep. Turner. There is an ongoing measle out break in West Texas. There are 58 known cases among children ages 5 to 17. 13 of the known cases resulted in the children having to be hospitalized. Young people get your shots and stay safe. The shots not only help you, but your classmates and family. Donald Trump fired the US Military Service academies boards of visitors. The panels helped to oversee academic and student life at the military universities. Donald Trump and the republican party want military universities not to be diverse or inclusive.

We wish to thank the mayor of Philadelphia, the governor of Pennsylvania, and all the local officials for their professional handling of the situation. Donald Trump and the republican party blamed the Washington DC airplane tragedy on DEI policies. Trump and the republicans blame anything that happens and is bad on African Americans and Women. Trump and the republicans see these two groups as not deserving fair treatment. Trump and the republicans believe only white men can perform leadership roles. They are allowed to express such attitudes because deep down this is who they are and they no there are no consequences for their words and actions.
Today is the day that African Americans, Women, and other minority groups start to fight back.
