WAKE UP AMERICA OR FRANCE IS OUR FUTURE

The rioting in France is a preview about our own future. It’s been going on for about a month with no sign of letting up any time soon. Actually, it is getting worse. More than 1,000 French police officers have been injured, and more than 2,400 people were arrested last weekend for rioting and looting.

This is not a reaction to the poor quality of French schools and high gas prices. If they are so “concerned about schools,” why loot fancy designer stores, family owned grocery stores, why torch historic buildings, and wave Palestinian, antifa flags, & communist flags.

This is the result of three things: open borders, Marxism and radical Islamic mass migration.

The French riots are part of the Left’s plans for America if given the opportunity.

As a conservative leader Gary Bauer stated yesterday: “The Left rejects that America is a great nation. They insist America is evil and must be “fundamentally transformed.” That’s why they support open borders, mass migration, mass amnesty and the minting of millions of new Democrat voters. They want America to be more like the rest of the world. That’s why they want to bring the rest of the world to America.”

“But unchecked immigration without assimilation is a prescription for national suicide. It’s not “diversity.” It’s a cultural chaos leading to decline and disintegration.”

That’s why this election is critical.  Republicans have their issues, but the Democratic party has been captured by a combination of socialists, anti-American islamo-fascists, and anarchists.

EARLY VOTING IS UNDERWAY—GET OUT AND VOTE!

The Left Is Already Voting and Conservatives Can’t Afford to Wait. Early voting is underway across Texas, and the left is sprinting to the finish line. Organized Democratic groups are flooding the polls to try and create a “Blue Wave.”  In Harris County and elsewhere, the numbers show they are not waiting for Election Day. They are banking their votes now. That is not a coincidence. It is a strategy. The other side understands that elections are won by the people who actually show up, and they are executing on it. Conservatives who sit this period out risk being outnumbered before November 3 even arrives. This is not a time for assumptions or for telling yourself you will get to it later. Work, weather, long lines on Election Day, or an unexpected conflict can all get in the way. Voting early removes those risks. It locks in your voice while the opportunity is still wide open and the lines are manageable. Texas faces real choices on the ballot—statewide races, local offices, and the direction of county government. Those choices only count if conservative voters make them. The left is organized, motivated, and already casting ballots. Matching that energy is not optional if we want to protect the policies and principles we care about. Find your nearest early voting location today by going to www.HarrisVotes.com. Bring a valid photo ID. Bring a neighbor or family member who has not yet voted. The polls are open through October 30. Every day you wait is a day the other side is already using. Do not leave this to chance. Vote early.

HARRIS COUNTY TREASURER
CARLA WYATT IN HOT WATER…AGAIN

Harris County Treasurer Carla Wyatt finds herself under renewed scrutiny after a September 18 multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 45 that police say she caused, followed by the revelation that she was driving without valid insurance at the time.

Dashcam footage and the crash diagram contradict her initial account to officers that the other vehicles were simply stopped on the freeway. Victims described her as dazed and more concerned about being late to a meeting than the wreck she caused. “You need to move. I’m running late to a meeting,” one driver recalled her saying.

Wyatt has downplayed the incident, stating that “car accidents happen every day.” Yet Wyatt’s claim of no injuries is disputed by those involved. Diamantina Uribe, a self-employed Realtor without health insurance, has already accumulated more than $10,000 in medical bills for injuries including back pain, concussion, and shoulder issues, plus thousands more in vehicle repairs. Another driver, Amanda Byford, has also spoken publicly about the impact.

Driving without liability insurance is not a minor oversight in Texas—it is a criminal offense. Reports indicate Wyatt’s policy had lapsed as early as July, which means Wyatt, who has been arrested twice for DWI, was exposing other drivers to her reckless and criminal behavior for three months. This is not a Republican versus Democrat or red versus blue matter. It is a basic question of personal responsibility. Public officials are not exempt from the laws that apply to every other driver on the road. When an elected treasurer—someone entrusted with the careful handling of county finances—operates a personal vehicle without the required insurance, especially while potentially traveling for county business, she exposes both private citizens and the taxpayers of Harris County to unnecessary risk. We should hold our elected officials to a higher standard, but Wyatt wants the bar lowered to accommodate her lack of competence and responsibility.

This is only the latest chapter in a troubling pattern since Wyatt took office in 2023. She was arrested for DWI in December 2023, again in late 2025 for burglary with intent to commit theft and then for another DWI in Galveston County after officers found her asleep in a running vehicle stopped in a highway lane; she reportedly told an officer she was “in heaven.” Her office also approved fraudulent checks and put tax dollars in Jeapardy before county commissioners moved key oversight functions elsewhere and voted to pursue abolishing the treasurer’s office altogether.  Wyatt’s responded by demanding a pay increase from $139,000 to over $300,000. All four commissioners, Republican Tom Ramsey and the three Democrats, voted to strip Wyatt of her duties, to eliminate her office, and against her pay increase. Republicans and Democrats agree that it is time for Wyatt to go.

Voters have a clear alternative on the November 3 ballot. Republican Marc Cowart has campaigned on restoring integrity, competence, and transparency to the office. The choice is straightforward: continue with an incumbent whose record repeatedly demonstrates a lack of personal responsibility or choose a candidate who understands that public office demands higher standards, not exemptions from them.
