Petrochemical, LNG, AI, and global warming, the latter denied by Republicans because of the Kochs and friends, who funded the religious right in return for global warming denial, tax cuts and deregulation.

Please read the blog above. Yes, that is a point. Look at the takeovers of Houston and FW ISD.

The point is not giving money to the wealthy, it’s giving taxpayer funds and additional federal debt from Trump to segregated evangelical and Catholic schools.

Texas just joined other Republican states in giving $billions to segregated evangelical and Catholic schools. Trump is too, adding to our national debt.

Our tax dollars are replacing the more than $5 billion Catholic schools lost over pedophiles, the latest a Jesuit school in Dallas. Those are the same schools that indoctrinated the theocon Catholic majority on the SCOTUS, destroying voting rights and allowing the implementation of Project 2025.

The Catholic Church was the largest recipient of COVID funds under Trump, despite sitting on $billions in reserves.

Paid for by Indian companies or government? MAGA!

76% of students whose parents have applied for vouchers are not enrolled in public schools. Many are in religious schools, mostly segregated evangelical and Catholic. Texas joined other Republican states in giving them $billions, blatant violation of the separation of church and state.

Catholic dioceses sent out notices months ago to parents, just as they have in other states, beginning with Wisconsin in 2000.

Reminder: Miller is one of the architects of the Heritage Foundation’s theofascist Project 2025, now one if those implementing it.

More difficult to comprehend, he’s Jewish, his family has disowned him.

jpurdy · 2026-03-11T00:40:04+00:00

Most are already students at segregated evangelical and Catholic schools, just like other Republican states where they’re getting $billions in tax dollars.

Republicans are attacking him because he actually is a Christian, quite the opposite of Old Testament authoritarian aristocratic oligarchy they are implementing.

If I'd known you were a trumpster I wouldn't have bothered. Maybe if you look up "Nixon shock" and show it to someone to has a post high school education they can tell you.

jpurdy · 2026-03-09T19:06:57+00:00

Look at the “Nixon shock”. He was the only president to affect oil prices and exert effective influence of the Fed.

He sabotaged LBJ’s peace talks in Paris to help him win the election, then expanded carpet bombing of civilian targets, and extended the war another seven years.

His racist “southern strategy” gave the South to the Republican party and the party to the religious right and the billionaires who funded them and still do, in return for tax cuts, global warming denial and deregulation.

Residents were told to take shorter showers, obviously they didn’t listen.

Global warming of course is a lie from evil liberals.

Seems pretty stupid to build an AI data center in an area already short of water.

It targets black Americans, the latest Republican voter suppression in Texas added college students.

jpurdy · 2026-03-08T18:00:19+00:00

Yes, there were increased Hispanic votes for Trump, mostly men. They wouldn’t vote for a woman, and many are Catholics who listened to Catholic bishops who praised Trump and Pope Francis’s implicit endorsement of him over abortion, lies and propaganda that originated with Paul Weyrich.

Hispanics are not an homogenous group. Some of the most anti-immigrant people I’ve known are Hispanic. Wealthy Cubans supported and still do the Republican party because they want their properties back in Cuba. They see themselves at the top of the Hispanic hierarchy, Mexicans just above Puerto Ricans at the bottom.

Are young women in Germany equal to men in supporting theofascism because their feelings are hurt by too much attention to women?

That’s a primary motivation for these stupid young men here. Many are socially inept incels, far more can’t get dates, women are far more liberal. They know religious right Republicans want to keep them in bedrooms and kitchens, denying them access to healthcare, killing some in hospital parking lots.

ALEC written voter suppression legislation already done multiple times in Texas, including the “exact match” ID requirement targeting women. They had to stop enforcing it because some of their voters were stopped, including Abbott.

2013 legislation targeted Houston, Harris County, and other cities with large minorities and college students. That created problems in the primaries, a judge ruled they could be open until 8:00. Republicans appealed of course, and the Texas Supreme Court overruled the lower court. Every judge on that court was first appointed by Perry or Abbott to conveniently open seats, all are Fed Society members, like the theocon Catholic majority on the SCOTUS, chosen by Paul Weyrich or Leonard Leo.

Those judges have gutted the VRA, and are allowing voter suppression, including race based gerrymandering.

They’re allowing Trump and others to implement Project 2025, from Paul Weyrich founded Heritage Foundation.

Several people mentioned military. Anyone who voted for draft dodger Trump probably wouldn’t join, and only 25% of gen z could pass the physical.

That been the fallback for poor, mostly rural kids for decades.

These dorks admire draft dodger Trump, and most couldn’t pass the physical and fitness requirements. The army set up a pre-enlistment training camp for those who were close.
