[Your campaign brief for December 5, 2025]([link removed])
John-
This week, I called out the left’s disingenuous and manufactured outrage over the lawful, deliberate strike on a Venezuelan narcoterrorist drug boat. I also called out Gavin Newsom for his brazen admission of the New Democratic Party’s ultimate goal: turning America into a failed socialist state.
And I officially filed for re-election to continue serving the 2nd Congressional District of Texas. Please take a moment to watch my campaign launch video and hear directly from constituents about my proven record of leadership for TX-02.

I’ve been called to serve for my entire life. First as a Navy SEAL, now as your Congressman. The fight is different, but the mission is the same: protect our freedom, defend the Constitution, and always put America First.
Now, more than ever, President Trump needs reinforcements in Congress to keep restoring the American Dream. Together we can finish what we started and build a stronger, freer, and more prosperous America for generations to come.
As always, thank you for your continued support of my campaign. I cannot win re-election without committed patriots like you in my corner. If you have not donated to my campaign and are able to, I would greatly appreciate any contribution you can spare so that I have the resources necessary to win my primary next March and continue fighting for you in Congress.

Now, here's your brief.
NO, KILLING NARCOTERRORISTS IS NOT A “WAR CRIME”

[CLICK HERE TO WATCH]([link removed])
The left’s latest symptom of Trump Derangement Syndrome is fake outrage over a double tap drone strike that took out a Venezuelan narcoterrorist drug boat. People who have never served in the military and have ZERO knowledge about Rules of Engagement are calling it a “war crime.” Nothing could be further from the truth.
This was a lawful, deliberate strike, not a reckless rogue operation. And it’s exactly what we should expect our military to do when engaging hostile targets – like narcoterrorists who will stop at nothing to smuggle the fentanyl poison into our country that’s responsible for killing hundreds of thousands of Americans.
Our military is trained to finish the job when a threat remains. How do I know? Because I’ve been on real-world counterterrorism missions. I can’t recall any point in my time as a SEAL where we strike a group, whether that’s a building or a boat or a vehicle, and then we were, like, ‘Oh, well, there’s survivors. We have to go. We can’t kill them.’ Of course we killed them.
The outrage we’re seeing? It’s all manufactured and disingenuous. And as Marc Thiessen lays out in [this article]([link removed]), even Democrat administrations routinely used this playbook. The only reason they’re suddenly “outraged” is because President Trump is in charge.
THE NEW DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS A SOCIALIST PARTY

Gavin Newsom summed up the new Democratic Party’s brazen socialist philosophy this week: “If we don’t democratize our economy and allow for the distribution of wealth, our democracy will die.”
Let’s translate: “democratize the economy” is feel-good-liberal-speak for “government take over of the economy.” It has never worked and always leads to ruin. And redistribution? According to [most measures]([link removed]) we have the MOST progressive tax system in the world. The top 10% pay about 72% of all federal taxes. The top 1% pay about 40%. The top 50% pay 97% of taxes.
So yeah, the wealth is already massively redistributed. Socialists will never tell you what a “fair” tax rate is, will they? They just want more and more and more. There is no limiting principle, no underlying philosophy. Just the bitter politics of resentment, designed to mislead voters and bribe them for their vote.
This is the same socialist philosophy that has ruined countless societies and lives over the past two centuries. And America will meet a similar end if Democrats ever regain control of Congress and the White House.
