Notice, John Cornyn is not in the pic, thus an endorsement of Ken Paxton, Glory Be.
Nope. He didn’t, as he introduced them both. He had already told Paxton he wouldn’t endorse either, so I wasn’t too
surprised.
Cornyn is in trouble. And like the slimy politician he is, he has descended further into the gutter.
He represents himself. I want him gone. Time for Texas to elect a patriot.
My vote is in…Ken Paxton.
Absolutely. 👍
Good evening Betsy. I whole heartedly agree with you on every word! I will be voting for Ken Paxton as well.
I am not real happy with Ted Cruz either and am hoping a good MAGA candidate will primary him out when his re-election comes up.
Have a wonderful and blessed evening.
Ted’s a poseur, full of himself, Pat. I know, I know…I’m not telling anyone anything they don’t know. But he is more reliable than any Democrat. Cornyn on the other hand…
He even issued a personal message to Muslims for Ramadan, signing off with that odious one word which I won’t print. He’s a Chamber of Commerce lackey and all that means, none of it good and none of it pro America.
Well past time to issue him with a pink slip.
Bless, sis…see you tomorrow for a bumper crop of moggies.
Good morning Betsy.
If you think you have ‘issues’ in Texas, it ain’t nuffin compared to Jolly Olde Engaland.
That islamb bic/green/marxist woman just became the first of its species to get directly elected to Parliament in Manchester.
The only blight side is the socialists finished in fourth place.
It was amusing though when she called herself a plumber.
I wonder how many pipes she bent to arrive here.
I too am hoping for a real MAGA patriot to step up and send Cruz packing. He gets more slimy every year.
I early voted for Paxton!
Same, Bubby…and yes on every proposition 👍🏻
cornyn the rino is a old dog… let him spend another 75 mil and GO HOME! Him and Mitch can reminisce about how good they had it

Can I up vote this enough, larro?
Once Paxton wins the primary we have a heavy lift. We’re going to have to fund his race for the general since Thune has already signaled that the repugnant party will not. Demoncraps are going to spend $50-100M if not more to try flipping that seat blue & Thune will help them.
We need to figure out how to leverage a good portion of the 10s of Ms of maga to do this. That would keep the donation size small enough that virtually everyone can afford to do it. Say $10-$20
We can take a lesson from Bernie on that. Millions of small donations but in our case, with zero smurfs 😇
Oh boy, Mom, do we ever…
The non Christian “Christian” Dem Talarico, another Joel Osteen is likely the opponent. I can’t bear to look at him, never mind listen to him.
I am of the firm belief that a no one, especially a politician, can be a Democrat and claim to be a Christian. We know our God. Theirs is another.
Jasmine Crackhead is actually out polling Talarico. Our great President will give Paxton all the fund raising help he needs. I’m with you Texas.
Amen Betsy. I lived in Texas in five different towns. Nobody loved Cornyn.
I wish I was still there so I could vote his sorry Rotten Ass Out. Texans vote for
Ken Paxton and Doc Chambers to kick the Rhino Greg Abbott out. He gets money from Pakistan donors. Islam is taking over Texas. Wake up!!!
I’ve been reading, dawn. His biggest donor in the last election cycle was, and no doubt still is, a Pakistani billionaire. But still and for the moment, any Republican rather than any Dem.
One of the proportions on the ballot this time is the banning of Sharia law. It is imperative as never before that Texans, especially Republicans, vote.
(Wish you were here, too, to add to our numbers.)
Betsy, let’s hope this time Texans do the right thing. Time for a change for the better. Cornyn is in trouble and about time. Not so sure about Paxton’s replacement tho’. Not a fan of Chips, he’s definitely in it for Chips. My opinion
Verbally, yes, but pictures speak louder than words; Cornyn’s absence is an endorsement of Paxton., Cruz and Abbott are present, why not Cornyn, it’s big league politics, how the game is played; otherwise, I’ve read the same ‘endorsement’ news as you have.
Not sure PDJT has endorsed anyone in that Senate race. But I do know that he is a huge supporter of Ken Paxton. Said at one rally that Ken would make a great Attorney General (US). (woulda been nice). The attack ads against him have been insane. The friends that I have told to NOT vote for Cornyn had no idea that Paxton was running.🙄 Of course, these are people who pay no attention to state politics. Anyway, I pray Paxton wins. And that Aaron Reitz replaces him as TX Attorney General.
Correct. He didn’t endorse anyone in that race. Of course, cornyn is a snake and I sure hope Paxton wins.
Except that Cornyn flew on AF1 with the president to the event.
Ah, Dennis Quaid is introduced…great guy.
Gotta keep Iowa farmers happy.
EPA to shift at least half of waived biofuel obligations to big refiners – Reuters
The Trump administration has settled on a plan that would require big oil refineries to comprise at least half of the biofuel blending volumes obligations waived in recent years under the Small Refinery Exemption program, Reuters reported Thursday.
The decision could be a negative for larger oil refiners that have said additional blending obligations would raise their costs, but it could help the biofuel industry by boosting demand for blending credits, the report said.
Under the Renewable Fuel Standard, oil refineries must blend billions of gallons of ethanol and other biofuels into their fuel or buy RIN credits from those that do, but small refineries can waive obligations if they demonstrate economic hardship, and the agriculture and fuel industries disagree on whether to reallocate the exempted blending obligations to larger refiners.

Texas is building pipelines like never before along new LNG port in Brownsville. The Texas Pipeline Initiative formed a meeting with all the union trades involved with pipelines and refineries. They will need man power and have increased wages to attract workers.
I may wind up down there. Been looking for a home south of Houston to Port Isabel. Coastal prices are crazy. 55+ communities may be my best bet, plus i wouldn’t have to sell my other properties in Minnesota. I thinking about working one more big job before early retirement. One job i’m very interested in is Rio Bravo. 138 miles of pipe for just south of Corpus to the new Brownsville LNG port.
“Several major “pipeline initiatives” are active in Texas as of early 2026, ranging from massive energy infrastructure projects (Dela Express, Desert Southwest) to educational and environmental programs. Key projects include the 700-mile Dela Express natural gas project, Energy Transfer’s 516-mile Texas-to-Arizona line, and the Pipeline Prairies initiative focusing on native seed restoration.

“Texas is building pipelines like never before”
Oh, yes we are! 2026/2027 is going to be a wild ride.
Turns out there is a Major Shortage of Turbines for natural gas. All the major manufacturers have a five year back log. The only way to produce enough power for AI Data Centers will be COAL

Cornyn, Murkowski, McConnell…it’s a testament to how corrupt and decadent our country has become that these three are in power at the same time.
