Tex's Place

By Matt Margolis Last night, my family saw  Project Hail Mary , and it was exactly the kind of movie more studios should be making. It’s smart, clean, entertaining, and it trusts the audience to enjoy a good story without being preached at. I read the novel when it first came out and have reread it a few times since. So, it’s safe to say that I’ve been looking forward to this movie for a long time and, honestly, kind of dreading it. Would Hollywood make this story woke? Would they take this great story and ruin it for the narrative? The movie follows Ryland Grace, played by Ryan Gosling, a science teacher and biologist who wakes up alone on a mission to save Earth from a sun-dimming threat called astrophage. That setup could easily have turned into another heavy-handed Hollywood lecture, but instead it delivers a genuinely fun, family-friendly sci-fi adventure. And the audience response says plenty. Project Hail Mary  has   earned  a 95% critics score and a ...

By Tyler Durden In a major feat that comes weeks after the White House claimed that Iran's ballistic missile capability had been "functionally destroyed,"  Iran has laid waste to one of only 16 American E-3 Sentry Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) aircraft in the world , sending $500 million worth of technology up in smoke and crimping the US military's ability to maintain situational awareness. The same attack also  "damaged" several aerial refueling tankers   and added a dozen service members to the tally of more than 300 who've been wounded  in the  month-long US-Israeli war on Iran . Thirteen have been killed.  In recent days, foreign satellite images showed what appeared to be major damage at Prince Sultan Air Base, a U.S. military base located in Al Kharj, Saudi Arabia. The images show damage on the base's main apron, which holds high-value aircraft. While high-resolution commercial satellite imagery of the region from U.S.-based ...

By Tyler Durden Authored by Dave Huber via The College Fix, Lower courts have ruled school can ban wearing such apparel as ‘can reasonably be interpreted as profane’ The case of two Michigan middle-school brothers who were told to remove their hoodies emblazoned with the phrase “Let’s Go Brandon” is headed to the U.S. Supreme Court. The siblings are represented by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression  which says  the boys’ school violated their First Amendment rights. The phrase was popularized during a 2021 NASCAR event when a crowd was shouting “F*** Joe Biden!” but the NBC interviewer told racer Brandon Brown they were yelling “Let’s go Brandon!” A judge in 2024  ruled  the phrase could “reasonably be interpreted” as profane. Last October, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals  upheld that ruling  in a 2-1 decision, confirming the case was about “the vulgarity exception.” Referencing the landmark  Tinker  free speech case, Judge...

By Kevin Downey Jr. If you woke up to the overwhelming stench of Ben Gay and cat urine, that can only mean one thing: your neighborhood has been invaded by a "No Kings" brigade, consisting largely of befuddled elderly people and salad-dodging, testiphobic broads whose hirsute armpit hairlines stretch to their upper lips. Anybody else noticed all of the liberal boomers marching today for no Kings day? Did they go raid all of the retirement communities to get people? Don’t worry, they’ll be done by about 3 o’clock so they can get ready for dinner. pic.twitter.com/dNFeO9aUOc — AmericanPapaBear™ (@AmericaPapaBear) October 18, 2025 While President Donald Trump is busy toppling communist dictators around the world, America's suicidally socialist Left has once again called on its legions of street thugs to burn, riot, and loot, as they did six years ago for George Floyd.  FACT-O-RAMA!  In case you haven't heard yet, the documentary,  The Fall of Minneapolis , asserts ...

By Catherine Salgado After official confirmation that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) did, in fact, commit immigration fraud, the Republic of Somaliland — which has good reason to be bitter at the crimes of Omar and her Somali family — offered to be the hammer of justice if the United States would extradite Omar there. The tantalizing offer comes after Vice President JD Vance confirmed on Benny Johnson’s show what many of us have thought of Omar for a long time — there is, in fact, solid evidence that the radical Islamist member of Congress committed immigration fraud. “We actually think that Ilhan Omar definitely committed immigration fraud against the United States of America,” Vance  stated . Deportation? Please you’re just sending the princess back to her kingdom. Extradition? Say the word … https://t.co/nV3uHojqqT — REPUBLIC OF SOMALILAND (@RepOfSomaliland) March 28, 2026 The vice president explained that he has discussed this with a top Trump administration advisor. “I talked...

By Nick Arama Guess what's happening this weekend?  There's a third "No Kings" protest going on.  Now they're claiming that the protest will have  more than 3,000 events  across the country. Is anyone actually checking that number? Invariably, what you see are the same blue-haired folks, mostly older women, with their pre-made signs for the same organizations that always come out for such protests.  Then, surprise, at the end of it all, we still have no kings. Funny how that works. When you protest against something that doesn't exist, it still doesn't exist after you're through screaming. Yay, success? They're the ones agitating against a democratically-elected leader because he doesn't support their unhinged, leftist agenda.  What's hilarious is that they will even have a protest in London, U.K., but they had to change the name because hey, they actually  do  have a king. So it's hilarious - they'll make an exception by changi...

By Matt Margolis Patriotism used to be something that Americans celebrated. Now, kids are taught to sneer at their own country, to see only its sins and not its staggering achievements. America deserves better than that. As our nation approaches its 250th birthday, three prominent conservative voices are stepping up to change the story being told to the next generation. Dr. Ben Carson, Kirk Cameron, and Riley Gaines are joining forces in 2026 around a single, urgent mission: making sure American children grow up knowing the truth about the country they call home. They come from wildly different backgrounds — an operating room, a Hollywood set, and a swimming pool — but they're aligned on one point. What is happening to America's kids is deliberate. And it will not fix itself. The numbers are hard to argue with. A June 2025 Gallup  poll found  that only 41% of Gen Z adults say they are proud to be American — the lowest of any generation, compared with 83% of the Silent Gene...

By Chris Queen Hardly anybody likes changing their clocks twice a year. The time change disrupts sleep cycles and has plenty of other effects on health, as my friend and colleague Sarah Anderson  wrote about earlier this month . I like Daylight Saving Time because of the later sunsets. I know a lot of people are vehemently against it, but it’s what I prefer. But honestly, I’d be happy with Standard Time year-round if it meant not having to change the clocks. Georgia’s General Assembly passed legislation in 2021 that would keep Georgia permanently on Daylight Saving Time, and Gov. Brian Kemp signed it into law. The problem is that it would literally take an act of Congress to make that state law binding. This year, Georgia lawmakers have an interesting idea for putting the Peach State on permanent Daylight Saving Time. It’s called the Georgia Sunshine Protection Act. HB 154, the “Georgia Sunshine Protection Act,” would require the Governor to request that the United States Secre...

By Sarah Katherine Sisk Red and blue states are moving further apart than ever before on tax policy – and new population data shows that Americans are noticing. As high-tax Democrat states continue to bleed population, low-tax Republican states are seeing a surge in growth. A new study from The Wall Street Journal reveals just how polarized states are becoming on tax policy. “Republican-led states are racing each other to flatten, cut and eliminate individual income taxes, with 23 states lowering their top income-tax rates since 2021,” the Journal reports. “Democratic-controlled states are moving the opposite way, pushing to increase taxes on top earners to combat inequality and plug budget holes.” Meanwhile, any middle ground – states that have moderate tax burdens – is disappearing: “In 2006, 15 states had top income-tax rates on wage income below five percent and just one exceeded 10 percent, according to the Tax Foundation, a group that favors lower rates and fewer breaks. ...

By Ward Clark Let this be a lesson to all of the gun control advocates out there: There is always some source, somewhere, for bad guys to obtain guns and ammunition. In the latest and rather horrifying example of this, a Camp Pendleton Marine has been arrested and is being charged with selling weapons and ammunition, including what's reported to be a Javelin missile system, to  two corporations in his home state of Arizona . An Arizona Marine Corps corporal is in federal custody, accused of stealing weapons of war at his base in California and selling them for his own profit, according to court documents. Andrew Paul Amarillas was indicted by a grand jury this week in Arizona, accused of stealing a Javelin missile system and cans of ammunition from his base in California to sell on the streets in Arizona. Amarillas, 23, is a Glendale native who enlisted in the Marines after graduating from high school. Investigators said that while serving his country, Amarillas was stealing we...
