The Great American Covenant

This Historic Triad + Two SCOTUS Rulings Will Restore America’s Sovereignty Watching this border crisis and election integrity mess unfold over the years, I’ve come to see these three bills working together as something far bigger than legislation. They form the Great American Covenant—a solemn national pact between the American people and their government to restore what citizenship, sovereignty, and self-rule truly mean. Selective entry. Conditional belonging. Verified voting. And now, with two pending Supreme Court cases poised to deliver the knockout blows, this covenant is about to become unbreakable. The Foundation: The SAVE America Act — Securing the Ballot Box…

Better Get a Bucket

The Bigger Budget Bucket Exposed I’ve been pounding this drum for years from right here in Plano, Texas: the federal budget isn’t broken because of Social Security. It’s broken because Washington has spent decades mortgaging our kids’ futures on an entitlement monster that no politician wants to touch. Christopher Jacobs just dropped the cold-hard proof in The Federalist yesterday, and every taxpayer who still believes in fiscal sanity needs to read it twice—and then forward it to their Congressman. Jacobs ran the numbers straight from the latest CBO baseline. This fiscal year’s deficit sits at a staggering $1.853 trillion. Eliminate the…

The Johns

The Base Revolts Against the Johns Roughly 60% of Republican primary voters in Texas just told Sen. John Cornyn exactly what they think of him: NOT CORNYN. On March 3, with over 2.16 million GOP ballots cast—a record turnout that crushed historical averages—Cornyn scraped together 41.9% (907,325 votes). Ken Paxton pulled 40.7% (881,192 votes), and Rep. Wesley Hunt took 13.5% (292,682 votes). No one hit 50%, so we're headed to a May 26 runoff, the day after Memorial Day. But make no mistake: that near-tie wasn't a fluke. It was a warning shot heard far beyond Texas borders. The base isn't…

Brute Force Smashmouth Politics

Make Their Shame Visible “I myself will lift up your skirts over your face, and your shame will be seen.” — Jeremiah 13:26 (ESV) Read that again. God isn’t asking politely. He isn’t negotiating. He is declaring judgment on a people who forgot Him, chased after idols, trusted in lies, and lived in spiritual adultery. The image is brutal on purpose: skirts lifted over the face, naked shame exposed for all to see. No covering. No excuses. No quiet retreat into the shadows. That is exactly where we are with Senate Democrats right now. We are in the largest U.S. military…

Flaming Pissed and Ready to Fight

Start the Talking Filibuster on the SAVE America Act or Lose the Midterms They're right. Pass the SAVE America Act or lose the majorities in both houses. That's a fact. The base is flaming pissed at being gaslit by our own leadership. This is me looking at you, @LeaderJohnThune and @JohnCornyn https://t.co/xZEmz273tt— James K Bishop (@James_K_Bishop) March 9, 2026 That was my post yesterday, and nothing since has changed my mind. David Marcus gets the pulse of the street better than most. In his Fox News column, “Passing the Save America Act to save Cornyn is a fair deal,” he reports…

TikTok Socialists Stay Silent on Cuba

Socialism's '93%' Myth in 2026: Stossel Fact-Checks It, Cuba's Collapse Crushes It John Stossel has made a career out of exposing economic illiteracy with facts, not slogans. His 2025 viral video "What Socialist Influencers Get Wrong (Just About Everything)" still hits like a sledgehammer. He calls out TikTok stars claiming "socialism works better than capitalism 93% of the time!" — a meme directly ripped from a 1986 paper by Shirley Cereseto and Howard Waitzkin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJMGNVLAKC0 That paper ("Capitalism, Socialism, and the Physical Quality of Life," International Journal of Health Services) used 1983 World Bank data to claim socialist countries beat capitalist…

Fisking French

David French’s “MAGA” Smear Proves He Doesn’t Know Texas A 25-year Texas politico reads the latest New York Times lecture on Christian character — and finds the same old outsider blind spot. I’ve been active in Texas politics for more than a quarter century — knocking on doors, phone banking, running precincts, serving as a Presiding Election Judge, and watching this state transform from a purple battleground into the solid red powerhouse that keeps delivering Republican supermajorities. So when David French, the Connecticut-based New York Times columnist, parachutes in with his Sunday piece “James Talarico Is a Christian X-Ray,” I recognize…

The Fall of the Alamo

No Quarter: The Fall of the Alamo – Dawn of Sacrifice, 190 Years On Imagine the bone-deep exhaustion inside those battered adobe walls on the night of March 5, 1836. For twelve straight days the Mexican artillery had thundered without mercy, day and night. Bugles blared, regimental bands played taunting marches, and the relentless cannonade kept every defender on the walls or jumping at shadows. Then, suddenly, as darkness fell on the twelfth night, an eerie silence descended. The guns fell quiet. The music stopped. For the first time since the siege began, the Alamo slept. It was a trap. This…

The Noem Debacle

A Face-Save Wrapped in a Face-Plant Look, politics is theater, but sometimes the script is so ham-fisted you can smell the desperation from Plano to Pierre. Kristi Noem’s whirlwind ride—from South Dakota governor to Trump’s DHS Secretary pick, to a 59-34 Senate confirmation, to a brutal hearing this week, to reassignment as “Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas”—is a masterclass in how fast trust evaporates when you cross the boss under oath. The root rot was already there: the Minneapolis ICE operation that left two U.S. citizens dead (bodycam footage didn’t match Noem’s “domestic terrorists” rhetoric), sluggish FEMA responses,…

Iron Sharpens Iron

Texas Republican Primary Voters Will Choose Our Senate Nominee Texas Republican primary voters will choose our Senate nominee—not even a President we admire and support. That principle was underscored this morning (March 5, 2026) when President Trump, in a phone interview with POLITICO, leaned toward endorsing Sen. John Cornyn over Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in the GOP Senate runoff set for May 26. Trump called Paxton's public stance against dropping out “bad for him,” hinted it might push him “the other direction,” and said an endorsement is coming “pretty soon.” He added he would ask the non-endorsed candidate to step…
