I'm disappointed he won his primary as easily as he did.

Texas has flourished economically under him. The sacrifice has been the culture

Actually I think the economic growth has enhanced the culture......

Plastic surgery in Texas is experiencing a significant surge, driven by the "GLP-1 effect" (weight loss drugs) causing high demand for body contouring, alongside increased interest from younger generations. Houston and Dallas are hubs for this trend,, which includes rising numbers of body lifts, liposuction, and Botox injections for patients in their 20s to 40s.

Simply no need for govt to be involved. Stay neutral and do your job to “keep the lights on”. The races should do their own job of keeping their culture alive.

Time for the Indian wars to flare back up.

really don't see the need for pearl clutching here. Christians are not bothered in India under any government policy and holidays like Christmas and Easter are celebrated there without being interfered with. There are something like 30 million Christians in India. The PM goes to Christian celebrations like Christmas and even issued an Easter proclamation. So I don't see the need to get up in arms over Diwali.

Must be getting some significant campaign contributions from representatives of a certain demographic and NGOs affiliated with them.

I remember when Abbott bowed his head before George Floyd’s coffin when we as a nation paraded his body around like a national saint.

How did I miss that? frick him. Never did really like him, but he keeps giving me reasons to justify my feelings.

Hindus are perfectly compatible and are integrated well. Hell, most Hindu Indians I have interacted with are big supporters of Israel. Our values align.


India is a direct ally to Israel. All the Indian people I know are great people.
Vast majority of them are conservative with strong family values.

Indians are completely fine. The problem has always been Muslims. They did 911, spreading Sharia law, and hate Jews / antisemitism. Islam is not compatible with western values. Indians / Hindus are perfectly compatible and are integrated well. Hell, most Hindu Indians I have interacted with are big supporters of Israel. Our values align.


No. No more of any of them. People need to remember just exactly who founded this nation.
