The biggest heist in American history — exposed. The Federal Reserve just confirmed it: U.S. NGOs are sitting on $14.2 TRILLION in combined assets — your tax money. That’s more than the entire GDPs of India + Japan + Germany combined. Congress didn’t just spend the national debt… They racketed HALF of it into the single largest corruption empire on the planet. This is the missing half of the U.S. debt crisis. The root of the waste, the fraud, the open borders, the endless foreign handouts, and the shadow government that answers to no one. They took your money. Your children’s money. Your grandchildren’s money… and handed it to unaccountable organizations that grow richer while America bleeds. This isn’t “charity.” This is the greatest money-laundering operation in history — protected by Congress. The racket is bigger than most countries. And it’s funded by you.

MY WHY. ❤️❤️❤️ Tonight marks the 6th anniversary of my son Tyler’s passing. I can tell you firsthand, it NEVER gets easier. Not a day goes by that I don’t miss him. But what I can tell you is WHY I wake up every morning and do what I do. And WHY it means so much more to me than just raising cattle. Tyler LOVED eating steak. One of our favorite things to do together was go out and enjoy a good steak. Looking back, I realize it probably wasn’t the steak he loved most. It was sitting across the table from his Dad, laughing, smiling, telling stories, and making memories together. MEMORIES. I can’t begin to explain to y’all how badly I wish I could make just ONE more memory with Tyler. One more steak dinner. One more conversation. One more laugh. But time is undefeated. And the memories we made together are now the most valuable things I have left. That’s when I realized something. Creating memories isn’t just important to me anymore. It’s become my PASSION. Think about it. Every time you sit down at the dinner table surrounded by the people you love, you’re doing something far more important than just eating a meal. You’re making memories. In those ordinary moments that most of us take for granted, memories are being created that can last a lifetime. And some of those moments become SO valuable that you don’t even realize their worth until they’re all you have left to hold on to. That’s what makes what I do so special to me. How incredibly blessed am I to work in an industry I’m so passionate about, where I get to help put food on the tables of families I’ve never even met? To know that somewhere, a father and son might be sitting down to enjoy one of our steaks, laughing, talking, and making the same kind of memories Tyler and I once made. THAT is my WHY. It’s not just about raising cattle. It’s not just about selling beef. It’s about being a small part of moments that might someday mean EVERYTHING to someone. And looking back, I truly believe this is exactly where Tyler would want me to be. Life moves fast. Faster than any of us realize. We get ONE shot at it, and none of us are promised tomorrow. So please, make making memories a PRIORITY. Put the phone down. Sit a little longer at the dinner table. Have that conversation. Share that laugh. Take that picture. Go eat that steak together. Because one day, you may find yourself wishing you could have just ONE more steak dinner. And when that day comes, you’ll understand that memories aren’t just something we make along the way. They’re some of the most PRICELESS things we will ever own. To my son, Tyler: Thank you for blessing me with 17 years of memories. I’d give ANYTHING for even just one more minute. Until we meet again, I’ll keep making memories, I’ll keep sharing your story, and I’ll keep finding ways to make you proud. I will see you again, my son. I promise. ❤️ Love, Dad

First, he stole Cheez-Its from a fellow councilman on the dais. Now, he steals from poor neighborhoods like the one I live in to give to his donors. End this reverse Robin Hood. Vote Lauren B. Peña for Congress.

Polls open tomorrow, 7am to 7pm. District 8 waits 16.1 minutes for police on Priority 1 calls. Slowest in Austin. Citywide: 12.4. 37 years here. I don't take developer money. They have more money. We have more neighbors. Vote, then bring a neighbor. district8dispatch.substack.c…

🚨 BEFORE YOU VOTE THIS TUESDAY, NOV 3: Where is Austin’s park money REALLY going? 🚨 While taxpayers pour $242 MILLION a year into Austin parks, neighborhood splash pads sit broken, park crime is up 54%, and 97% of park restrooms aren't cleaned daily. Now, Proposition A is asking for $260 MILLION in new public debt—pushed by a PAC funded by the very private foundations, consultants, and conservancies profiting off the municipal budget. 🔍 Inside our latest investigative exposé: • The Parking Slush Fund: Taxpayers pay $3/hr at Zilker, but 82% of the $8.3M collected is quietly siphoned off with zero line-item receipts showing it goes back to the park. • Revolving-Door Cash: Top City Hall officials step off municipal payrolls and directly into lucrative executive roles at the private conservancies they oversaw. • Broken Promises: Single parks get millions for flagship projects while neighborhood playscapes wait 24 years for basic repairs. --- Don't vote blind on Prop A. Get the facts, see the public receipts, and know where your tax dollars go before heading to the polls this Tuesday, Nov 3. Consider voting "aye" on "Prop i" and nay on the rest; and while you are at it, vote all city incumbents out. 👇 Read the full investigation before you vote: austinreform.substack.com/p/… #Austin #AustinTX #ATX #PropA #AustinParks #ATXPol #AustinVotes #InvestigativeReporting

The block shown in this documentary is even worse than what they showed. Keep in mind, there is an @AustinPublicLib branch on it. Here's the closest west bound @capmetroatx bus stop. Anyone still wondering why there are more dogs than children on the east side? Why @AustinISD has closed half the schools in that area?
FULL DOC: Austin’s Drug Crisis Is Out of Control, and the City Is Paying for It The City of Austin is now handing out Narcan kits to local businesses because the overdose crisis has become so severe. The city has also installed Narcan vending machines outside libraries. Meanwhile, business owners say they no longer bother calling the police for violent incidents, describing the situation as “anarcho-tyranny.” @Savsays | @TPUSA

103 miles per hour in a 45 zone. A father of five, dead on East Koenig Lane. And in Travis County, the man who killed him walks free on probation. In May 2025, an off duty Killeen fire captain had just left an Austin hospital after the birth of his fifth child. He was on his way to pick up his other kids so they could meet their new baby brother or sister. An SUV going 103 mph, according to the arrest affidavit, slammed into his minivan from behind. He died at the scene. An Austin police officer saw it happen and arrested the driver, who showed signs of impairment. The driver pleaded guilty to intoxication manslaughter, a crime that carries up to 20 years in prison in Texas. On Monday, a Travis County court gave him 10 years of probation. No prison. Five kids will grow up without their dad, and the man responsible goes home. That is not justice. That is Travis County's soft on crime system at work, and it's exactly why Austin voters keep seeing repeat offenders back on our streets. Our hearts are with this captain's family and the Killeen Fire Department. Thank you to the officer who did his job. The system needs to do the same. In the Texas House, I'll fight to make sure impaired drivers who kill go to prison, and I'll stand with the officers who take them off our roads. Early voting ends tomorrow, Oct. 30. Election Day is Nov. 3.

SHUT THIS CRAP DOWN
The City of Austin wants a tax hike on citizens so they can fund NGOs to distribute syringes and crack pipes. Not sure when Hunter Biden started working for the city.

Vote, people. Vote for Prop i, and against all others. Vote out all incumbents. Don't forget that every day is pet project day for ATX Council and city manager. Throw the bums out.
The City of Austin is paying an NGO $310,000 to help immigrants figure out how they can get more power and money from the City of Austin. The contract tells researchers to identify "systemic shifts" that would give immigrants a "redistribution or democratization of power" over city decisions. It also has them review how they can extract resources from the city's budget. The study will reach 340 people, at a cost of $912 each. They get gift cards and don't have to give their names. Researchers are told to avoid asking about immigration status and are barred from tracking IP addresses. So there's no reliable way to confirm that respondents are immigrants, live in Austin, or answered only once. The contractor (The National Center for Farmworker Health) can change the study's goals "if federal immigration enforcement activities significantly increase in Central Texas." Its outreach network includes RAICES, Grassroots Leadership, and the Austin Sanctuary Network. The money comes out of the city's budget reserve, and $226,391 has already been paid.

We are living through the most consequential civilizational shift in human history. AI is not another tech cycle. Within ten years it will rewrite how we work, how we learn, how we create wealth, and how we decide what is true.
🚨🚨🚨 Americans, you carry a historic responsibility. 🚨🚨🚨 Not only toward yourselves. Toward the entire world. Let me explain why. I'm French. I run an AI company. I live between Paris and San Francisco, so I see both sides of the Atlantic. And I can see what's coming. We are living through the most consequential civilizational shift in human history. AI is not another tech cycle. Within ten years it will rewrite how we work, how we learn, how we create wealth, and how we decide what is true. AI can become the greatest instrument of freedom ever built, or the most perfect instrument of control. Same technology. The only difference is who writes the rules. That is the choice in front of you. On one side, the world the globalists have been dreaming of for decades. A managed society run by unelected institutions, from Brussels to Davos. Experts deciding what you may say, what you may buy, what counts as true. And now, with AI, the tools to enforce it at scale. On the other side, a new world, far fairer. Built on reality instead of narratives. Where you can build, speak and trade without asking permission. Where we finally stop building entire systems on lies everyone can see. If the Democrats take back power, there's a strong chance the first world wins. How can I be so sure? Because I live in the trailer. In Europe, the machinery is already built. The Digital Services Act lets Brussels fine a platform up to 6% of its global revenue for failing to manage "systemic risks" as vague as "negative effects on civic discourse." The first fine ever issued under it went to X. €120 million. The digital euro: in July, the European Parliament voted 416 to 169 to move it forward. It is now being finalized in closed-door negotiations, with a deal targeted before the end of the year and a launch aimed at 2029. A central bank currency where your financial privacy depends on rules politicians can rewrite later. Speech under supervision. Money under supervision. Now add an AI that can read everything, everywhere, in real time. You think it stays in Europe? The DSA already applies to your platforms. And your protection against a digital dollar today? An executive order the next president can erase with one signature, and a ban that passed the House and is still stuck in the Senate. The Senate. Again. You have something we don't have in Europe. A man who cannot be bought, because there is nothing left that anyone could offer him. Elon Musk. Love him or hate him, you know he's authentic. He bought Twitter and gave you your voice back. He has been smeared, boycotted and targeted by every institution that used to own the narrative, and he never bent. He never made a deal with the devil. When a man like that tells you everything comes down to 51 senators, you listen. Read his post again. Two new states: four new senators. A bigger Supreme Court: a new majority overnight. Mass legalization: a new electorate. Change the rules of the game once, and you never have to win it again. That is not a policy agenda. That is an exit from democracy. And once the door is locked from the inside, the European machine crosses the Atlantic. The speech police. The supervised money. The managed truth. All of it running on AI. Europe was the trailer. Don't let America become the movie. The entire West is watching you. If America falls, there is nowhere left to go. You are the last country on Earth where an ordinary citizen can still say no, and make it count. On November 3rd, vote like the free world depends on it. This time, it does.

FULL DOC HERE: I sat down with Austin business owners who say they don’t even bother calling police anymore when the homeless drug users terrorize their businesses because they know the cops can’t do anything anyway!

Our true history has been distorted, diminished, and demonized by woke Hollywood gasbags for far too long. That's why we need real American storytellers to do exactly what KG is doing here. Hats off to you, sir!
After forty years in front of the camera, I’ll be directing my first feature film, SO HELP ME GOD: a Civil War epic about a Union soldier named Albert Townsend, who should have received the Medal of Honor but didn’t. Clerical error. I learned of Albert through his descendants’ archival research. What I found was more than an injustice waiting to be corrected. It was a story of friendship and extraordinary courage: an unassuming young man becoming a soldier who held his ground, and his principles, under fire. That’s a story worth telling on the largest possible scale. And we’re inviting the people who want to see it told to help bring it to the screen, as investors in the film through Republic. We intend to do it justice: real cannons, one hundred horses, and the cast in period-accurate uniforms. We’ve brought on Mark Huffam, whose work includes Saving Private Ryan, Game of Thrones, and The Martian, to produce it. He knows what it takes to make an epic, and how much depends on the human story at its heart. At the Medal of Honor Heritage Center in Chattanooga, Tennessee, I introduced the project alongside Civil War historian Brad Quinlin, members of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, and representatives of Civil War Roundtables. We’re also supporting the campaign for Albert’s posthumous Medal of Honor. His descendants are still fighting to see his courage properly recognized. This picture is about friendship, love, and honor — and common people rising to accomplish extraordinary things. I want to give that story everything it deserves. I hope you will lift the banner with us. Learn more about the film and the opportunity to invest: sohelpmegod.film

The wildest thing just happened. My family decided to go to Burger King tonight. (We don’t go to Burger King but he does Walmart deliveries and gets a discount, so tonight was it.) Went to one farther away from our house for fun.. anyway, so we’re sitting and eating and it’s dark.. I see a homeless man outside walking past. (It’s not an unusual thing here, most are drugged out, or high. I usually ignore them because it’s dangerous.) This wasn’t normal. I immediately felt drawn to talk to this man, buy him a meal. Husband says ok so I go outside to ask him if he’d like anything. He gets super animated with a huge smile and says yes!! He’s hungry. So I ask if he has any preferences, nope- he’s just thankful I asked.. then he says, “what I love is that I didn’t have to ask you- the Spirit spoke to you and you listened.” 😳 say what?? I smiled and said “He sure did.” So ffwd to buying his dinner for $18 (IYKYK) and he comes into the restaurant with this rose for me (he sells them on the corner!!) and proceeds to tell me how beautiful of a mother I am and my family is blessed, shakes my husband’s hand, thanks him.. and I give him a hug and he tells me more about his life. His name is Seven Thunders from a tribe in MT… and as I tell him goodbye he says “I’ll see you in the Kingdom.” This was such a special moment. It was SO OBVIOUSLY orchestrated by the Father. Be praying for this man! He blessed me so much tonight.

Notice the move. Don’t answer the concern, just laugh at it. When a real worry gets turned into a punchline, the goal isn’t to inform you. It’s to make you feel silly for asking. Ridicule isn’t a rebuttal. Stay sharp, and don’t let anyone laugh you out of your own questions.
