A lot of people don’t want to admit Charlie Kirk was racist because they would have to admit they are racist too, and that truth cuts deeper than they can handle.

They don’t like it when you fight back.

When Trump tried to steal 5 congressional seats Texas Dems did what it took to stop him.

So Paxton promised to “hunt them down.”

Now he’s coming after anyone who has the courage to join the fight.

We won’t back down!

Conscious capitalism is the future.

It makes dollars and sense.

Take a look at Costco, they have a 7% turnover rate compared with Walmart’s 70%.

Happy employees make for excellent profits.

These Americans served with honor for more than a decade. Put their lives on the line. Trump fired them, just for being who they are-and now is denying retirement benefits our nation promised them for their service.

Treating troops this way is dishonorable, unfair, & harmful to national security.

Trump ordered colleges to prove they aren’t considering race in admissions.
