Christopher Hitchens: ”In 1786, when the United States was barely a country, it was having its sailors taken as slaves by the Barbary states, the states of the Ottoman Empire and North Africa. Tripoli, shores of Tripoli. Ships stopped, its crews carried off into slavery. We estimate 1.5 million European and American slaves taken between 1750 and 1815.

Jefferson and Adams went to their ambassador in London and said, why do you do this to us? The United States has never had a quarrel with the Muslim world of any kind. We weren't in the crusades. We weren't at war with Spain. Why do you do this to our people and our ships? Why do you plunder and enslave our people? The ambassador said very plainly, Mr. Abdul Rahman said, because the Quran gives us permission to do so, because you are infidels, and that's our answer. Jefferson said, well, in that case, I will send a navy which will crush your state, which he did.

Islamic fundamentalism is not created by American democracy. It's a lie to say so. It's a masochistic lie, and it excuses those who are the real criminals, and blames us for the attacks made upon us.”

“Maybe a part of me was just like, I don’t want to put another black man in jail, but, you know, at some point, if you are a criminal, you’re a criminal, and he was scary, he was a scary guy.”

Victim of April 2 assault by Rhamell Burke, explaining why she declined to pursue charges against Burke. Burke allegedly went on to then murder a 76-year-old retired school teacher by shoving him onto the subway tracks.

Last night, the Houston chapter of the Texas Conservative Liberty Forum was honored to host the State Chairman of the Republican Party of Texas, the largest and most important Republican State party in the country. Chairman Abraham George spoke to the assembled members and visitors for 25 minutes and answered many other questions regarding the party's direction, as well as the direction of Texas politics in the upcoming midterm elections and the Texas legislative section for 2027. Chairman George graciously stayed for the duration of the meeting and visited with many of the members afterwards. Event filled all table seats, and later arrivals unfortunately had to settle for seating around the periphery.

Also present were Rachel Hooper, General Counsel for the RPT, Mike Cavanaugh, the Executive Director, as well as SREC members Justin P. Nichols and Rolando Garcia. Rolando Garcia also addressed the group regarding developments across the state.

Several conservative candidates for office also spoke, including Scott Bowen, who handily won his primary race and is certain to win his election to state representative for HD 129 in the general election; Don Hooper, who is running in a runoff against Cindy Siegel for Harris County party chair; Roy Morales running for Congress in CD 9 as an independent; Heidi Hall for HD 142c and Inocensia Moreno for HD 145.

Jennifer Haubein representing the Greater Houston Republican Liberty Caucus, spoke on RLC Houston's plans for the state convention.

TCLF officers present from around the state were Gregg Kestranek, TCLF Austin president, Vasquez Representing TCLF Dallas, and Justin Nichols for San Antonio. State Board members attending were Vice Chairman Lui LaRotta, Treasurer Craig Paradee, Secretary Mike Alberts, and Mark Goloby. State chairman Marco Antonio Roberts stepped in for Houston chapter president Daniel Blaylock due to a family emergency. All those present wished their best and offered their prayers for the well-being of his wife, Elizabeth, who appears to be doing well after suffering a scary car accident.

The Houston TCLF board members present were Vice president Malcolm Whittaker, Secretary Dawn Elliot, and treasurer Mark Goloby.

"Prosecutors allege that Morens and two unnamed, unindicted coconspirators worked together to defraud the U.S. by shielding those records from the public. Doing so by using his personal Gmail to exchange emails about the pandemic, the bat coronavirus grant, requests for documents about that grant and the origins of COVID-19. The indictment comes less than two years after Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and his team helped uncover emails from Morens."

The Justice Department announced this week that David Morens has been indicted.

Happy San Jacinto Day - Texas's day of independence from Mexico.

Happy San Jacinto Day!

190 years ago today marks Texas’ triumphant victory at the 1836 Battle of San Jacinto, an 18-minute battle that marked the decisive end of the Texas Revolution.

The Texian army numbered just 935 men. Their courage and fearlessness not only won the day but also shaped the bold and independent spirit of Texas that lives on through the millions of Texans who call this great state home.
