Federal Analysis: Strategic Fight Sets up America for Big Wins [[link removed]]

A historic vote late Friday finally secured the speakership of the U.S. House for a California Republican, but the path getting there could reshape congressional action for years to come. Two dozen reform-minded conservatives forced major concessions that will shift the balance of power away from the D.C. establishment for the first time in decades.

It became clear to 20 reform-focused members of the U.S. House that the only way to shake the grip of the cronies’ control of Congress, was to the shake up the operations of the House. Among these members were three Texans: U.S. Reps. Chip Roy and Michael Cloud, and U.S. Rep.-elect Keith Self.

Their action clears the way for McCarthy to be the political hero Americans want. Rather than wielding the speakership for corrupt purposes, like his most recent predecessor, McCarthy could gavel in the Republicans’ long-promised reforms.

Featured Texas Scorecard Documentary Exposes ‘All-ages’ Drag Shows [[link removed]]

Texas Scorecard has released a new documentary entitled “ It’s Not Gonna Lick Itself [[link removed]].” It covers the explosion of hyper-sexual drag shows across Texas targeting children.

The film’s producer, Drew Koch, said that after researching “all-age” drag shows for the documentary, he now believes activists are using the events to spread radical gender ideologies throughout the United States.

"Whether we like it or not, there are people with a defined agenda and intention to reshape the political and cultural landscape not just of Texas but the nation," said Koch. "The push to expose children to drag queens, sexuality, and transgenderism is not an accident but part of a movement to reshape the culture."
