Julian Castro Considering 2018 Run for President

Julian Castro Former HUD Secretary and San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro is going to the Iowa State Fair to prepare for a possible run for the Democratic nomination for president in 2020. He has been laying the ground work and is now starting to make the rounds to get public attention, and Republicans and conservative should be aware.

Castro, a darling of south Texas Democrats, has been running a PAC, writing a book, and building a grass-roots network. He has also been helping 2018 candidates around the country get elected to get their support later. For example, last Wednesday, Aug. 8, in San Antonio, Castro spoke at a SA city council meeting in favor of the city forcing private businesses to provide sick leave to their employees. This shows his support for extreme socialist policies.

The Priesthood of Political Correctness

Fake News1 No. All Journalists are NOT the enemy of the American people and the Constitution. However, many are self-serving, arrogant, insecure and immature people pretending to be impartial reporters and news editors… and they are the problem.

Liberal reporters and editors promote their ideas, views, and agenda under the guise of news. They have become a "priesthood of political correctness" that wants to influence and mold society, economics, and politics according to their views and opinions.

These “priests” are found in the big national news outlets, but also in local media in small communities. They are everywhere preaching their doctrine via newspapers, TV and radio.

The problem is the Media have become the priesthood of political correctness, they are intolerant of anything they consider blasphemous including ideas protected the First Amendment. The liberal Media also controls the majority of the news outlets, and therefore has loudest voice in society.

RINO Jason Villalba Wants Trump Impeached

Villabla Dallas Republican state representative Jason Villalba continues to show his RINO (Republican-In-Name-Only) attitudes as he called for President Donald Trump’s impeachment on Tuesday, July 17. Villalba apparently suffered an emotional meltdown like many other Democrats, the liberal Media and some Republicans over Trump’s comments about Russian interference in the 2016 American election.

The soon-to-be-former state rep used the “Impeach Trump” hashtag to call for Trump’s removal. He tweeted that “it’s time to change course” if the president chooses Russians over U.S. officials.

President Trump walked back his comments on Wednesday, but that hasn’t been good enough for a lot of his outraged critics. Villalba is in good company with Democrats, the liberal Media and some RINOs who continue to scream, including one that called for a military coup to remove Trump.

Plans Continue to Move the Alamo Cenotaph

“We’re not considering not relocating it.” That’s what liberal/leftist San Antonio City Councilman Roberto Trevino said regarding the Alamo Cenotaph late on Wednesday, July 18 after a meeting, and a double negative means a positive, which mean the city is planning to move the Cenotaph.

Trevino told people at the meeting that a new draft plan for redeveloping the Alamo will be made public next month, and it will illustrate why the 1930s Cenotaph has to be moved to provide a better visitor experience. Even though proposed plans to relocate the monument have been met with strong opposition, it appears the SA city officials, Texas General Land Office, and the nonprofit Alamo Endowment are not listening and don’t care to listen.

The Cenotaph honors 189 Alamo defenders killed in the 1836 battle and was erected in 1930, however the relocation appears to be similar to the removal of confederate statues by the liberal SA city leaders. Many feel this is another step to revise history and minimize the fight for Texas liberty.

Democrat Congressman Cohen Calls for Military Coup

The Democrats reached yet another level of outrageous behavior when Tennessee Democrat congressman Steve Cohen strongly implied that a military coup is needed to save the United States from President Donald Trump. Cong. Cohen’s comments are dangerous because they come from an elected official who has sworn to protect and uphold the Constitution.

Cohen tweeted on Monday, July 16, that America’s “military folks” need to take action against Trump following his joint news conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin. He asked why military people haven’t taken some action against the president and claimed Trump was in the hands of the enemy. “Where are our military folks? The Commander in Chief is in the hands of our enemy!” Cohen wrote on Twitter, using language that seems to suggest a military coup.
