Tex's Place

As I mentioned in the last article, our brother, RADMIL, suggested two articles this morning, and this is the second one. Again, thanks for sharing these RAD. Tex Skip to Comments By Harriet Alexander San Francisco's district attorney spoke out in apparent defense of a 'prolific' shoplifter who was filmed brazenly robbing a Walgreens store amid fierce criticism of the city's crime policies.   Chesa Boudin, district attorney since 2019, was asked about a viral video from June 19 showing the thief man heaping armfuls of Walgreens products into a trash bag, then riding his bike through the store with the stolen goods while the security guard and bystanders looked on. The broad daylight theft happened at a Walgreens on 300 Gough Street, in the Hayes Valley area of San Francisco, on June 14. The suspect, Jean Lugo-Romero, 40, was arrested on June 19 and remains in jail. He had previously robbed the same store on May 29, 30, 31 and June 1, but Walgreens declined to pr...

Good evening y'all, This morning our brother and patriot, RADMIL sent me two articles to share with y'all. This is the first one. Thanks for sharing, RAD! Tex Skip to Comments By PHIL SHIVER A guest columnist for the New York Times argued this week that "there is no good reason you should have to be a citizen to vote." According to the Times, the essay is "part of a series exploring bold ideas to revitalize and renew the American experiment." Atossa Araxia Abrahamian, a New York-based progressive journalist and former senior editor of the Nation, claimed in an opinion piece Wednesday that "it's time for Democrats to radically expand the electorate." How? First by granting permanent legal residents the right to vote. Why? Because, according to Abrahamian, they contribute as much to the country as any natural-born citizen. "Nearly 15 million people living legally in the United States, most of whom contribute as much as any natural-...

Skip to Comments By Abigail Shrier The following is adapted from a speech delivered on April 27, 2021, in Franklin, Tennessee, at a Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminar. In 2007, America had one pediatric gender clinic; today there are hundreds. Testosterone is readily available to adolescents from places like Planned Parenthood and Kaiser, often on a first visit—without even a therapist’s note. How did we get to this point? How is it that we are all supposed to pretend that the only way you can know I’m a woman is if I tell you my pronouns? How did we get to an America in which a 13-year-old in the State of Washington can begin “gender affirming” therapy without her parents’ consent? How did we get to an America in which a 15-year-old in Oregon can undergo “top surgery”—elective double mastectomy—without her parents’ permission? And what can we do about it? *** To understand how we got to this point, it is useful to begin by considering gender dysphoria—the feeling of s...

Skip to Comments “I just felt utterly compelled that this is what I was being called to do.” By HALEY BRITZKY Almost two years after making his first request for a religious accommodation to grow his hair and beard out while in uniform, an Army sergeant has officially received the green light.  Sgt. Jacob DiPietro, a cargo specialist with the Florida Army Reserve’s 489th Transportation Company (Seaport Operations), was approved for a religious exemption to the Army hair standards this week.  DiPietro, who observes the Nazarite vow from the Old Testament in the Bible, first applied for the religious exemption in November 2019. The Bible explains that while someone is observing the Nazarite vow, “no razor may be used on their head.”  That isn’t exactly the Army way — the service has specific rules about hair length and styling, for men and women, including a strict no-beard policy. But the Army  made policy changes  in 2017 that made it easier for soldie...

By Sandy Fitzgerald Outspoken sisters and Newsmax show hosts Diamond and Silk Friday night slammed Fox News for  refusing to run advertising  for My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell's upcoming cyber symposium on election fraud, calling the decision a denial of Lindell's freedom of speech.  "First of all, why are they denying Mike Lindell his freedom of speech, and what is Fox News trying to hide, Lynette "Diamond" Hardaway commented during their interview on Newsmax's Chris Salcedo show Friday. "We looked at the ad. I thought the ad was presentable. It was not political or over-political so what is the problem?"  Lindell, an outspoken critic of the 2020 election results, has claimed fraud and massive irregularities came into play, and after Fox News refused to run his paid TV ad spot promoting the symposium, he has pulled all of his MyPillow ads from the network.  Fox News has acknowledged it declined to air Lindell's spot. Last year, MyPillow spent al...
