FAITH IN ACTION: Southern Baptist Convention president fires back at calls for pastors to stay out of politics, urging Christian leaders to 'step up' ahead of midterm elections. Willy Rice argues that abortion, marriage, gender identity and immigration are deeply theological issues that demand a pastoral voice in the public square. Rice says the political and theological left never withdrew from politics — and that their silence created a vacuum conservative Christians are now paying for.

Republicans did this. Republicans gave us vouchers and gutted our public schools. Republicans filled a $16 Billion hole in the education budget with $8.5 Billion and called it a “raise,” so they can spend the rest on vouchers! Vote them all out! Vote for every Democratic candidate up and down the ballot!! #txlege

Tx house rep Gene Wu sends his kids to private school too

🚨 EUROPE IS BEING CONQUERED BY ISLAM WHILE TEXAS IS STILL LETTING THEM BUILD. TEXAS HAS THE RECORD. SO WHY IS THIS MINI-CITY STILL EXPANDING? WHAT ARE WE DOING, AMERICA!? The highly controversial Islamic Center of Irving - already facing a record of incendiary sermons, sexual-abuse cases, and multimillion-dollar litigation - isn't just finishing another mosque It is building the ICI Waqf Oasis - approximately 62,000 square feet of commercial space and apartments, projected to cost about $16.5 million and intended to generate roughly $1.5 million every year for the mosque, Islamic school, Tanzeel, youth programs, outreach, and other operations. In other words: build the property and the community, collect the revenue, fund the institution year after year. The project is now 85 percent complete. On October 4, ICI holds a fundraiser to finish the final 15 percent. Donate $1,000 or more and supporters receive a commemorative “completion block.” But before another block goes into this project, Texans should understand what they are helping build around them and who holds the property. The main ICI property is held by the North American Islamic Trust (NAIT) as a waqf. NAIT is not some random real-estate company. Its history is intertwined with the institutional network that grew out of the Muslim Students Association and the Muslim Brotherhood milieu in North America. That matters because the waqf model is about permanence: preserve the asset and use its proceeds to support designated institutions over the long term. The Oasis takes that model and adds a revenue engine. And look at what has already come from this campus. Imam Muhammad Abdullah told the room: “If we don’t like the way the police is dealing with us, we got to become the police. You have to get politically organized. That was the Black Panther Party.” He has talked about entering public office to “strengthen Muslim American identity” and “show the true light of Islam in the public square.” Then Dr. Rudolph “Butch” Ware III, the 2024 Green Party vice-presidential nominee, stood on that stage and declared: “Victory over the empire is promised… All empires fall. It is only a matter of time. I was never expecting that Allah was going to give me the opportunity to run on a presidential ticket that is designed to end the American empire now.” 🚨NOW LOOK AT THE OTHER RECORD FROM THIS CAMPUS. Former head imam Zia ul-Haq Sheikh was ordered to pay $2.55 million after a woman said he began counseling her at the mosque when she was 13, groomed her for years, and later had a sexual encounter with her at a motel when she was 19. Hired in 2005. Forced out in 2017. Judgment in 2019. Affirmed on appeal in 2021. $1.5 million for mental anguish. $750,000 in exemplary damages. $300,000 in attorney's fees. Sheikh denied the allegations. This was a civil judgment, not a criminal conviction. Then security guard Syed Humzah Hashmi pleaded guilty to aggravated sexual assault of a child and child-pornography counts after a boy attending the Islamic School of Irving said Hashmi took him into an empty classroom and assaulted him. Twenty years. 🚨And now another lawsuit. A 2026 lawsuit alleges that a woman cleaning the Islamic School of Irving on September 27, 2024, was raped by a 14-year-old former student — and that personnel failed to call police after she reported it. The lawsuit seeks more than $1 million and names the Islamic Center of Irving, its school board president, and NAIT. The petition says the juvenile later pleaded guilty to aggravated sexual assault and received 25 years. Those juvenile records are sealed. The civil allegations against the defendants remain pending. Now go back to the construction site. 62,000 square feet. Commercial property. Apartments. A perpetual endowment structure. An estimated $1.5 million in annual revenue. This is why October 4 matters. They aren't simply finishing walls. THEY ARE BUILDING THE FINANCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE TO FUND WHAT COMES NEXT. TEXAS CAN SEE THE ENTIRE RECORD. AND THEY'RE STILL POURING CONCRETE.

I’m still the same height I was in the 6th grade: 4ft 10.5in 😅

New talarico ad. “Ken Paxton is lying about my record, even making fake AI videos of me. No, I'm not a member of the Chinese Communist Party. No, I don't support sex change surgeries for kids. I don't have to use AI because the truth about Ken Paxton is bad enough. He led a pedophile back on our streets. He was impeached by his own party for bribery, and he increased his net worth by $27 million on a government salary.” host2.adimpact.com/admo/view…

🚨SCANDAL in Round Rock ISD: High school libraries are stocking the Quran while the Holy Bible has been removed According to the district’s own online library catalog, the Bible is no longer available at Round Rock High School and Cedar Ridge High School — replaced by the Quran — while it remains in at least two of the five traditional high schools. This is the same Texas district that refused to allow Ten Commandments posters in classrooms and arrested two Christian fathers for simply speaking at a public school board meeting. @jeremywstory 🔴Muslim religious text is welcomed. 🔴The Bible — the foundational text of Western civilization and America — is censored. 🔴Christian parents are dragged away in handcuffs. This is not neutrality. This is blatant anti-Christian discrimination. ‼️Parents: It’s time to check your school libraries. Enough is enough. @AmyMek @xpistas @mayes_middleton @txvalues @MQSullivan
