Florida Congressman Randy Fine and Texas Rep. Keith Self on Friday introduced legislation that would ensure that Sharia law cannot be implemented anywhere in the United States.
The “No Shari’a Act” would prohibit the application of Sharia “where such application would violate constitutional rights,” according to a copy of the legislation shared with The Daily Wire. Both Fine and Self said that the measure was intended to protect Western culture and ensure that the United States would not be taken over by Islamic radicals. 
“We are not going to become a Muslim nation. There are plenty out there,” Fine told The Daily Wire. “If you want to live under Sharia, return to where you came from, but we’re not interested in you coming here and conquering our country.”
Self said the influence of Shariah was already present in Texas. 
“We cannot have sets of laws,” he told The Daily Wire. “There is one in the United States. It&#8217;s called the U.S. Constitution and the state laws under states of course, but we cannot have two different civilizations with different laws.”
The issue came to a head in Texas with controversy over the planned EPIC City development outside Dallas that was intended to be a Muslim community. Critics worried that the development would implement Sharia.
The legislation says that the “the Constitution of the United States is and must remain the supreme law of the land, and no foreign law or legal system may be permitted to undermine it” and that “no court shall enforce a judgment, decree, or arbitration decision if it relies, in whole or in part, on Shari’a or any foreign law that violates the constitutional rights of any party.”
Fine referenced the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/muslim-mayor-in-dearborn-michigan-tells-christian-resident-you-are-not-welcome-here">recent confrontation</a> in Dearborn, Michigan, where a Christian resident was told he was not welcome in the city by Muslim Mayor Abdullah Hammoud after he spoke out in opposition to naming a street after Arab American publisher Osama Siblani.
“We do not want to replicate this barbaric Middle Age philosophy in this country, and we need to make that clear, this is not welcome in the United States,” Fine said. “We need to respond to the Islamists saying Christians are not welcome in Dearborn by saying, no, you are not welcome here.”
Self said that Sharia allows for child marriages, husbands to beat their wives, honor killings, and genital mutilation. He said these practices were “not compatible with U.S. law, U.S. Constitution, and our civilization.”

When high school students tried to form a Turning Point USA chapter, the vice president of a local Democratic club in Texas rallied her Facebook group to pressure teachers against sponsoring it.
Nathalie Herpin, a parent and the <a href="https://www.springbranchdems.org/about-us/leadership/">vice president</a> of the Spring Valley Democrats, posted an “urgent request” on Facebook, urging members to block students’ efforts to launch a Turning Point USA chapter at Stratford High School in Houston’s Spring Branch Independent School District.
“Please please please send emails to two teachers who are rumored to have agreed to sponsoring a club that will sow division and hate among our students,” Herpin wrote. “This is dangerous territory, and it would help if those teachers knew that their consideration was not appreciated by the remainder of the student body.”
Herpin then mentioned Denise Bell, the chair of Harris County’s &#8220;Moms for Liberty&#8221; chapter, stating that she was “pushing for Stratford students to start a TurningPoint USA club at the school.&#8221; Herpin referenced a private GroupMe chat, saying Bell had added &#8220;the Gulf Coast Representative of ‘Club America’ which is the Turning Point USA student club name &#8211; but it is absolutely the same organization.”
“Without principal&#8217;s approval, they already decided their first meeting is Friday and already started an instagram page,” she continued. Revealing information from a private GroupMe chat, she named two people — whose names were later redacted — as “the two who are being claimed as sponsors (per the GroupMe).”
Then she launched into an attack on TPUSA, writing:
<blockquote>
Before this gets too far, please send an email and remind them of the following:
</blockquote>
<ul>
<li>Club America is formerly known as Turning Point High School (same organization, rebranded), it is formally linked on the Turning Point USA website.</li>
<li>Turning Point USA is known for having a &#8220;Professor Watchlist&#8221; where any teacher can be turned in for a witch hunt and professional stalkers will work to get them fired</li>
<li>Turning Point USA is a POLITICAL organization and there is no mistake that teachers who sponsor this club are making a personal political statement</li>
<li>Turning Point USA has frequently framed immigrants, black people, and LGBTQIA+ individuals as an &#8220;existential threat&#8221; to white, Christian Americans. The existence of this group is guaranteed to sow division and potentially promote violence.</li>
</ul>
She followed with an outrageous statement that totally mischaracterized the assassin of Charlie Kirk, framing him as a disgruntled right-winger: “Given the famous founder having recently been murdered by an individual motivated by interpersonal rivalry (Nick Fuentes or Charlie Kirk being the better far-right activist), it is very risky for students to bring that kind of potential inflammatory rivalry into school halls, especially with the rate of school shootings in the united states.”
She then added this:
<blockquote>
Famous quotes from Charlie Kirk that do not promote the SBISD value of every child being important and valued:
 “Happening all the time in urban America, prowling Blacks go around for fun to go target white people, that&#8217;s a fact. It&#8217;s happening more and more.”
 “If I&#8217;m dealing with somebody in customer service who&#8217;s a moronic Black woman, I wonder is she there because of her excellence, or is she there because of affirmative action?”
 “Reject feminism. Submit to your husband, Taylor. You&#8217;re not in charge.”
 “The answer is yes, the baby would be delivered.” (Responding to a question about whether he would support his 10-year-old daughter aborting a pregnancy

Texas A&amp;M President Mark Welsh is set to step down on Friday after a wave of criticism over his handling of a controversy that erupted after an English professor was filmed <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-texas-am-student-booted-from-lecture-after-objecting-to-professor-pushing-radical-gender-theory?author=Zach+Jewell&amp;category=undefined&amp;elementPosition=6&amp;row=3&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+News&amp;rowType=Vertical+Carousel&amp;title=WATCH%3A+Texas+A%26M+Student+Booted+From+Lecture+After+Objecting+To+Professor+Pushing+Radical+Gender+Theory">pushing</a> pro-LGBT talking points during a children&#8217;s literature course and telling a student who opposed her to leave a lecture.
Welsh, a retired four-star U.S. Air Force General who was appointed by former President Barack Obama to be Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force from 2012 to 2016, fired Dr. Melissa McCoul last week, but his actions were not enough to quell some of the outrage over Texas A&amp;M&#8217;s handling of the situation. The university&#8217;s Board of Regents announced on Thursday that Welsh would resign, The New York Times reported.
“President Welsh is a man of honor who has led Texas A&amp;M with selfless dedication,” the university system’s chancellor, Glenn Hegar, said in a statement, adding, “At the same time, we agree that now is the right moment to make a change and to position Texas A&amp;M for continued excellence in the years ahead.”
Videos obtained and shared by Republican Texas State Rep. Brian Harrison and first <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-texas-am-student-booted-from-lecture-after-objecting-to-professor-pushing-radical-gender-theory?author=Zach+Jewell&amp;category=undefined&amp;elementPosition=6&amp;row=3&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+News&amp;rowType=Vertical+Carousel&amp;title=WATCH%3A+Texas+A%26M+Student+Booted+From+Lecture+After+Objecting+To+Professor+Pushing+Radical+Gender+Theory">reported</a> by The Daily Wire on September 8 showed McCoul advocating for leftist views on sex and gender during a lecture over the summer. Slides from the course reviewed by The Daily Wire also showed that the class devoted considerable attention to sex, gender, and “queerness.”
One student confronted the professor over the leftist ideology, pointing to the Trump administration&#8217;s recent actions to crack down on diversity, equity, and inclusion in the government and public universities. McCoul argued that her teachings on gender identity and gender expression were “biologically true,” adding that she did not believe that the student would be able to stop her from teaching those ideas.
“Because I do have the legal and ethical authority [and] professional expertise in this classroom. It’s time for you to leave,” McCoul told the student in a video that Harrison posted on X.

After the student complained about the LGBT themes in the children’s literature course, Welsh acknowledged that the class content &#8220;did not align with any reasonable expectation of standard curriculum for the course.&#8221; Welsh&#8217;s action to change the course content and fire McCoul, however, only came after an intense public pressure campaign, which was led by Harrison. In a phone call with the student after the complaint had been raised, the Texas A&amp;M president said that the student was trying to &#8220;pick a fight&#8221; and defended teaching LGBT content in other courses as long as it was properly shown on course syllabi.
Welsh&#8217;s move to fire McCoul wasn&#8217;t enough for some people, while the decision enraged others.
“This is about trying to tell faculty members not to teach certain topics,” said Leonard Bright, a professor of public service and administration at Texas A&amp;M, according to the Times. “The rules are clear — we are the experts in our classes, and we get to design our courses.”
After McCoul was fired, Harrison told The Daily Wire, “President Welsh is engaged in a cover up and deserves no credit.”
“He spent the past month protecting this professor, berating the student, dismissing concerns that her constitutional rights were violated when she was kicked out of class, attempting to gaslight the student into believing she was the problem, advocating for even more DEI and LGBTQ courses at A&amp;M, and has been engaged in behavior since his actions were exposed,&#8221; Harrison added. &#8220;He should be fired.”
The Republican state lawmaker celebrated in a post on Thursday after it was reported that Welsh was stepping down.

Texas A&amp;M will appoint an interim president as it conducts a national search for a new leader, according to the Board of Regents.

Texas A&M President To Resign After Leftist Politics Infiltrated University Children’s Lit Course

LGBT

Texas A&amp;M

In yet another victory for Elon Musk and the future of American space dominance, a federal judge on Monday <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2025/09/17/texas-spacex-boca-chica-faa-environmental-lawsuit/?utm_source=chatgpt.com">dismissed a lawsuit</a> from environmental activists attempting to derail SpaceX’s rocket launch operations in South Texas. The lawsuit, filed by groups such as the Center for Biological Diversity and the American Bird Conservancy, claimed that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) violated federal law by approving SpaceX’s launch program without conducting a more rigorous environmental impact review.
At the heart of the dispute was the FAA’s 2022 approval of SpaceX’s expanded rocket activity at Boca Chica — now the newly incorporated city of Starbase — adjacent to a wildlife refuge. Environmental groups insisted that noise, construction, road traffic, and light pollution from rocket launches endangered local wildlife, including ocelots, jaguarundis, and Kemp’s Ridley sea turtles.
But U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols wasn’t buying it.
In his ruling, Nichols made it clear: the FAA had fulfilled its legal responsibility under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) by conducting a Programmatic Environmental Assessment (PEA), which included mitigation measures. The judge said of the FAA’s analysis, “Most of the (assessment&#8217;s) conclusions were well-reasoned and supported by the record,” adding it fell “within a broad zone of reasonableness”—a key legal standard that gives agencies latitude to make policy decisions without courts stepping in to micromanage.
He emphasized that most of the FAA’s conclusions were “well-reasoned and supported by the record,” and dismissed the environmentalists’ claims that the FAA simply rubber-stamped SpaceX’s data.
This ruling is especially significant in light of President Donald Trump’s August 13 <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/08/enabling-competition-in-the-commercial-space-industry/">executive order</a>, which sought to streamline and loosen environmental regulations for private space companies. Trump called it “imperative to national security” that rocket launches dramatically increase by 2030.
SpaceX has already received FAA approval to <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/science/2025/sep/15/musk-spacex-texas-wildlife?utm_source=chatgpt.com">ramp up</a> Starship launches from five to twenty-five per year at the Texas site. The company is also aiming to nearly double the number of Falcon rocket launches at California’s Vandenberg base. This lawsuit threatened to throw a wrench into those plans — until Nichols shut it down.
The environmentalists also took issue with the April 2023 Starship test launch, which ended in a dramatic explosion, scattering debris across wildlife habitats.
The judge’s decision leaves Musk’s vision of making humanity multi-planetary — and launching frequently from the Lone Star State — very much intact. Environmental activists may appeal, but for now, the courts are siding with American innovation over bureaucratic obstruction.

The State of Texas will strip more than 100 teachers of their certifications over their “reprehensible and inappropriate” social media posts about the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Gov. Greg Abbott <a href="https://x.com/GregAbbott_TX/status/1967686867689902503">said</a> on Tuesday.
The Lone Star State launched an investigation Friday, reporting educators that “have proliferated such vile content,” Texas Education Agency (TEA) Commissioner Mike Morath wrote in a <a href="https://x.com/CameronSAbrams/status/1966616519862837444">letter</a> to superintendents. The state has already received roughly 180 complaints, <a href="https://x.com/CameronSAbrams/status/1967645860336111976">according</a> to The Texan.
“While the exercise of free speech is a fundamental right we are all blessed to share, it does not give carte blanche authority to celebrate or sow violence against those that share differing beliefs and perspectives,” the letter read.

Several incidents of Texas teachers making such comments have circulated online since Kirk’s assassination.

Republican Texas State Sen. Mayes Middleton called for the teachers to not only be fired, but to be placed on “do-not-hire registries.”
“Educators cheering murder must not only be fired, but also placed on do-not-hire registries and stripped of their certifications. There must be zero tolerance for this,” Middleton told The Daily Wire.
“Their behavior proves they are unworthy of ever being entrusted with educating students again. No half measures and no passing the trash — our children must be protected from these vile individuals. I will fight to ensure they are held fully accountable,” he added.

Texas A&amp;M President Mark Welsh announced on Tuesday that he directed the school’s provost to fire an English professor who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-texas-am-student-booted-from-lecture-after-objecting-to-professor-pushing-radical-gender-theory?author=Zach+Jewell&amp;category=undefined&amp;elementPosition=6&amp;row=3&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+News&amp;rowType=Vertical+Carousel&amp;title=WATCH%3A+Texas+A%26M+Student+Booted+From+Lecture+After+Objecting+To+Professor+Pushing+Radical+Gender+Theory">pushed leftist ideas</a> on gender and sex during a children’s literature course over the summer.
In a <a href="https://president.tamu.edu/messages/an-update-from-president-mark-a-welsh-iii.html">statement</a> posted on social media and the university’s website, Welsh also announced that the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and the Head of the English Department would be removed from their administrative positions. The decision comes after videos, obtained and shared by Republican Texas State Rep. Brian Harrison and first reported by The Daily Wire, showed a student confronting Dr. Melissa McCoul over her comments on transgenderism and other LGBT issues during a lecture.
After the student complained about the LGBT themes in the children’s literature course, Welsh said that he worked with students and administrators to make changes and “ensure this course content does not continue in future semesters.” The president, however, stated that despite his directive, Texas A&amp;M “continued to teach content that was inconsistent with the published course description for another course this fall.”
The video of the student’s interaction with the professor was posted on social media after Welsh met with students and administrators to discuss course descriptions and materials.
“This summer, a children’s literature course contained content that did not align with any reasonable expectation of standard curriculum for the course,” said Welsh. “After this issue was raised, college and department leadership worked with students to offer alternative opportunities for students to complete the course, and made changes to ensure this course content does not continue in future semesters. At that time, I made it clear to our academic leadership that course content must match catalog descriptions for each and every one of our course sections.”
“However, I learned late yesterday that despite that directive, the college continued to teach content that was inconsistent with the published course description for another course this fall,” Welsh added. “As a result, I took the above administrative actions, and deans and department heads will conduct an audit of course offerings to ensure they align with the course descriptions.”
In one video, McCoul told the student who called her out that her teaching on transgenderism and other LGBT issues was “biologically true.” The professor then told the student that she had “the legal and ethical authority [and] professional expertise in this classroom” before telling the student, “It’s time for you to leave.”

Slides from the children’s literature class reviewed by The Daily Wire showed that the course material dedicated significant time to sex, gender, and “queerness,” covering the issues with a leftist slant. One slide was titled “Let’s talk gender in children’s lit!” and argued that “Childhood is the time for figuring out how to be a boy, girl, man, woman, or another gender.” The class also required students to read a comic book story titled “Princess Princess Ever After,” which is about two female characters who fall in love, with the book ending with a same-sex wedding.

In a move sparking national backlash, a Houston-based imam affiliated with the Nation of Islam <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15078883/Sharia-patrols-Texas-alcohol-pork-ban.html">launched a campaign</a> demanding Muslim-owned stores stop selling pork, alcohol, and gambling products—or face public protests. Imam F. Qasim ibn Ali Khan of Masjid At-Tawhid, speaking in viral videos circulating on TikTok and X, issued ultimatums to shop owners, warning that demonstrations will escalate unless “haram” items are purged from their inventory.
“We’re just getting started,” Khan told one store clerk. “In 30 days, we’re going city-wide.”
His message? Sharia compliance or public shaming. Khan&#8217;s demonstrations in front of local businesses have drawn comparisons to hardline “Sharia patrol” tactics seen in radicalized areas of Europe.
Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott didn’t mince words in response.
“I signed laws that BAN Sharia Law and Sharia Compounds in Texas,” he posted on X. “No business &amp; no individual should fear fools like this.”
Abbott urged Texans to report any attempts to impose Sharia compliance to law enforcement or the Department of Public Safety.

Critics warn the imam’s campaign is not only coercive but a potential flashpoint for creeping extremism. Videos show Khan confronting Muslim shopkeepers, insisting they’re violating Islamic law by selling forbidden products.
“We should love what Allah allows and hate what Allah hates,” he said while leading demonstrators through inner-city neighborhoods. “Little by little, one by one, we’re going to be visiting all the stores.”
Although no violence has been reported, the rhetoric is undeniable. Khan calls it da’wah—religious outreach—but the optics tell a different story. Armed with protest signs and camera crews, Khan accuses fellow Muslims of betraying their faith for profit, warning that the “best of the community” will only be realized through strict Islamic adherence.
Khan’s mosque, Masjid At-Tawhid, flies a Palestinian flag and employs private security personnel in uniforms that resemble local police. His red henna-dyed beard and firebrand style have become a visual marker of his strict Sharia-first ideology. While his protests remain within the bounds of free speech—for now—his message is unmistakable: Muslim-majority areas should adhere to Islamic principles, or face public pressure.
This comes amid broader concerns over Sharia-linked developments in Texas. Earlier this year, Abbott announced the state had halted construction on the so-called “EPIC City”—a proposed Muslim-only community near Dallas allegedly designed to operate under Sharia law.
“There is no construction taking place,” Abbott said, confirming multiple state and federal investigations into the project’s legality. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) and Attorney General Ken Paxton both raised constitutional concerns over religious discrimination and segregation.
Abbott connected the dots: “Texas takes matters like this seriously,” he wrote. “This is America. We don’t bend the law for imported ideologies.”
The rise of self-declared Islamic enforcers like Imam Khan—armed with a smartphone and a platform—signals a growing clash between religious radicalism and American law and culture. For now, Texans aren’t having it.
Neither is their governor.

A Texas Republican introduced legislation Tuesday that he says would protect millions of American jobs from illegal aliens. 
Congressman Brandon Gill’s “Domestic Jobs Protection Act” would strip the executive branch of authority to grant work authorization to illegal aliens. Gill said that his bill would stop future administrations from using federal law to hand out jobs to people who illegally crossed into the United States. 
“President Trump has done more for American workers and their families than any other president,” Gill told The Daily Wire. “It is crucial that we prevent any future administrations from doing anything to stand in the way of their success, including using work permits to usher in more illegal immigration.” 
Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, the Department of Homeland Security can issue work employment authorization documents to illegal aliens who have been given temporary protected status, are part of the DACA program, or are part of other similar initiatives. Gill’s office said that this work authorization creates a “powerful jobs magnet” for illegal immigration. 
Former President Joe Biden gave temporary protected status to hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants from Venezuela, El Salvador, Ukraine, and Sudan. This status allowed them to seek work authorization from the government.
The Domestic Jobs Protection Act would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to ensure that “no future administration can exploit discretionary work permits to revive DACA-style programs or expand illegal immigration at the expense of American workers,” according to Gill’s office. 
The current definition of unauthorized alien “with respect to the employment of an alien at a particular time” in the legal code is “that the alien is not at that time either (A) an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence, or (B) authorized to be so employed by this chapter or by the Attorney General.”
Since the Immigration and Nationality Act took effect, the authority to grant employment authorization documents has transitioned from the attorney general to the Department of Homeland Security.
Gill’s bill would remove the line of text that reads “or by the attorney general” to ensure that only Congress can decide who receives work authorization.

The Department of Justice said on Monday that it would probe &#8220;deeply concerning&#8221; videos of a Texas A&amp;M student being asked to leave class after pushing back on radical gender theory.

In one clip, the student told McCoul that the course material went against President Donald Trump’s orders on gender and diversity, equity, and inclusion.
“This also goes against, not only myself, but a lot of people’s religious beliefs,” the student added. “And so I am not going to participate in this because it’s not legal.”
McCoul told the student that her teaching on transgenderism and other LGBT issues was &#8220;biologically true,&#8221; adding that she did not believe that the student would be able to stop her from teaching those ideas.
“Because I do have the legal and ethical authority [and] professional expertise in this classroom,” McCoul told the student. “It’s time for you to leave.”

The children&#8217;s literature class devoted considerable attention to sex, gender, and “queerness,” according to slides reviewed by The Daily Wire. One slide argued that it&#8217;s appropriate to teach LGBT issues to young children, stating, &#8220;Thinking that homosexuality or queer people are always ‘x-rated’ is an effect of heteronormativity, the idea that heterosexual or straight is normal as well as normative.&#8221; Another slide was titled “Let’s talk gender in children’s lit!” and argued that “Childhood is the time for figuring out how to be a boy, girl, man, woman, or another gender.”

The Texas Republican sent letters to Governor Greg Abbott, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Education Secretary Linda McMahon, asking for the state and federal government to take action against Texas A&amp;M.

In a recorded phone call between the student and Texas A&amp;M President Mark Welsh, the president stated that the university would review the children’s literature course and discuss providing more detailed descriptions of any classes that teach radical gender theory.

A Texas A&amp;M student was told to leave a lecture after pushing back on a professor promoting leftist gender ideas during a children’s literature course. 
Videos shared by Texas Republican State Rep. Brian Harrison on Monday show a student confronting Dr. Melissa McCoul during a children’s literature class, during which McCoul pushed leftist views on sex, gender, and race.
The class, which was aimed at getting students to “think critically about what [children’s literature] can tell us about how we (and others) understand childhood,” devoted considerable attention to sex, gender, and “queerness,” according to slides reviewed by The Daily Wire. One slide titled “Why talk about queerness at all?” denied that the sexual topic was inappropriate for young children. 
The student, who wishes to remain anonymous, told McCoul during one class that the course material went against President Donald Trump’s orders on gender and diversity, equity, and inclusion.
“Thinking that homosexuality or queer people are always ‘x-rated’ is an effect of heteronormativity, the idea that heterosexual or straight is normal as well as normative,” the slide reads. 
“This also goes against, not only myself, but a lot of people’s religious beliefs,” the student added. “And so I am not going to participate in this because it’s not legal.” 
McCoul then asked the student if she was “suggesting” that the teaching on gender and sex was “false.” 
“Yes,” the student said.
“You are under a misconception that what I’m saying is illegal,” the professor replied.

Harrison, who served as the chief of staff at the Department of Health and Human Services during Trump’s first term, told The Daily Wire that the videos show the Texas A&amp;M professor is “absolutely engaged in transgender indoctrination.” He argued that McCoul and other A&amp;M officials be fired.
“This is one of the clearest and most disgusting examples of taxpayer abuse and the weaponization of Texans’ tax money against them, against their values, against their children,” Harrison said. 
Trump <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/defending-women-from-gender-ideology-extremism-and-restoring-biological-truth-to-the-federal-government/">signed</a> an executive order on January 20 declaring, “It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female.” In another executive order, Trump called DEI policies “illegal,” and the Trump administration has opened <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-dei-universities-investigated-f89dc9ec2a98897577ed0a6c446fae7b">investigations</a> into universities that push DEI programs on their students and faculty.

A Texas A&amp;M official told The Daily Wire, “We are aware of an isolated incident in which a summer course’s content was misaligned with the course curriculum. The college took steps in collaboration with faculty to ensure all course content aligns with the course curriculum moving forward.”
While the federal government has pushed back on DEI and radical leftist gender ideology, Republican-led Texas has fallen behind in putting a stop to radical ideas being promoted at universities, Harrison says.
“I have filed legislation for a long time now to stop taxpayer funding of DEI and transgender indoctrination, and every attempt legislatively to end this is killed by nominal Republicans in the Texas government,” the lawmaker added. 
In another clip, the A&amp;M student tells McCoul, “I held my mouth closed this whole semester about my personal beliefs, but part of my rights is [that] this goes against my religion.” 
“So you are very free to leave, and now is the time to do that,” the professor said. After the confrontation, McCoul asked the class, “Are there other questions I can answer about the sex gender system or non-binary identities?” 
One book required in McCoul’s class was “Princess Princess Ever After,” a comic book story about a princess who is rescued from her tower prison by another princess. The two female characters fall in love, and the book ends with a gay wedding. “Princess Princess Ever After” is <a href="https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Princess-Princess-Ever-After/K-ONeill/9781620107140">written</a> for kids between the ages of 9 and 12, according to a review from lesbian culture website AfterEllen. 
Another slide showed a “Gender Unicorn” graph put together by Trans Student Educational Resources. Yet another slide was titled “Let’s talk gender in children’s lit!” and argued that “Childhood is the time for figuring out how to be a boy, girl, man, woman, or another gender.”  
The student who confronted McCoul about the leftist curriculum raised her concerns with the department head and eventually with Texas A&amp;M President Mark Welsh. Texas A&amp;M administrators then met with McCoul to discuss the class and decided to move McCoul to teach young adult literature instead of children’s literature. 
In a recorded phone call between the student and Welsh, the Texas A&amp;M president stated that the university would review the children’s literature course and discuss providing more detailed descriptions of any classes that teach radical gender theory. Welsh told the student that “there’s not a problem” teaching LGBT literature as long as the university makes it clear it will be part of a class. 
When the student asked President Welsh if any more changes would be made, such as firing McCoul, Welsh accused the student of attempting to “pick a fight,” adding that the university would not punish the professor.

IRVING, Texas — Border czar Tom Homan said Friday night that he was “amazed” at how quickly the Trump administration was able to secure the southern border.
Speaking at the second annual State Freedom Caucus Summit near Dallas, Homan said illegal immigration was down 96% under President Donald Trump. Homan told the state lawmakers gathered at the conference that “even I am amazed” at how quickly the administration was able to shut down illegal immigration.
“We have the most secure border in the history of this nation,” Homan said. “The men and women of Border Patrol secured that border in seven weeks. … God bless the men and women of Border Patrol.”
Attendees of the summit include Republican lawmakers from across the country who are members of state level Freedom Caucus organizations, which are coalitions of lawmakers who push for conservative governance and legislation. The summit was organized by the State Freedom Caucus Foundation.
Inspired by the House Freedom Caucus, the State Freedom Caucus Network was founded in 2021 with the goal of creating state level organizations of conservative lawmakers and equipping them with “the high-level staff, strategy, and community conservatives need to take ground across the country.”
In a roughly 45 minute speech, Homan recounted Trump recruiting him to come back into his administration for a second time after four years of President Joe Biden allowing a record number of illegal aliens to cross into the United States. Homan said that he woke up every day during the Biden administration “pissed off” at what was happening at the border.
Homan said it was &#8220;bulls***&#8221; that the Biden administration was considered humane because of its lax border policies. He choked up talking about the number of girls who were raped and innocent people killed during human smuggling runs that exploded under Biden.
Homan added that he believed one reason Biden was so lax was because his administration believed most illegal aliens would be future Democrat voters.
“They sold this country out for future political power, and in my opinion, that is treasonous,” he said.
Commenting on resistance to the Trump administration by Democrats like Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, Homan said that they hated Trump more than they loved their own communities.
During his speech, Homan also promised that the Trump administration would go after the Latin American drug cartels that have flooded the United States with drugs.
“They’ve killed more Americans than every terrorist organization in the world. They’ve killed more Americans than any war that we’ve ever had,” Homan said. “And mark my word, President Trump will wipe them off the face of the earth.”
Homan’s comments came after the U.S. military took out a drug trafficking boat coming from Venezuela earlier this week. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the United States would continue to carry out similar operations.

Trump’s Border Czar Says Even He Is ‘Amazed’ By Success Of Illegal Alien Crackdown

IRVING, Texas — Republican Governor Ron DeSantis said Friday night that he planned to remain on “offense” in Florida as he pressed conservative lawmakers gathered from across the country to govern boldly. 
DeSantis, whose time as governor has been punctuated by major conservative victories from education to illegal immigration, said he hopes to push Florida to have greater medical freedom and to eliminate property taxes. He made the remarks during a keynote address at the second annual State Freedom Caucus Summit at the Omni Las Colinas Hotel just outside Dallas.
“I didn&#8217;t get in there to be mushy on policy,” DeSantis said. “I knew what I believed.  I told people what I was going to do. And my view was, I&#8217;m sitting at the desk the first day I was governor, I looked around the office, no decorations yet, it was empty, and I said, you know, I don&#8217;t know what SOB’s going to succeed me in this office, but they are not going to have anything to do.”
DeSantis was a founding member of the House Freedom Caucus, a coalition of House Republicans who have fought to reign in federal spending and to advance conservative policies at the federal level. The State Freedom Caucus Network was founded in 2021 with the goal of creating state level organizations of conservative lawmakers and equipping them with “the high-level staff, strategy, and community conservatives need to take ground across the country.”
On the lines of medical freedom, Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo announced that the state would seek to end all vaccine mandates, including requirements for schools. DeSantis said Friday that he didn&#8217;t believe government should coerce people into certain treatment. He also said people couldn&#8217;t truly have private property if they effectively had to pay &#8220;rent&#8221; to the government for it.
During his speech, DeSantis highlighted his record on fighting lockdowns during COVID, battles to protect parental rights in education, elimination of DEI at public universities, and fights with Disney.
“ I think woke ideology is toxic whether it&#8217;s being imposed by a government agency, or whether it&#8217;s being imposed by a multinational corporation. I think it&#8217;s wrong,” DeSantis said.
The Florida governor also celebrated the Thursday <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/court-allows-floridas-alligator-alcatraz-to-remain-open-for-business?author=Leif+Le+Mahieu&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=0&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Court+Allows+Florida’s+Alligator+Alcatraz+To+Remain+‘Open+For+Business’">decision</a> from the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals that blocked a lower court’s order to shut down the Everglades-based illegal alien detention center known as Alligator Alcatraz.
“Every time I get out of bed in the morning, I get sued by the Left,” DeSantis said. “You can&#8217;t be worried about getting sued, you know that&#8217;s what they&#8217;re gonna do, and they go to liberal judges, and we know based on the judge, we have no chance at the trial court, and so we know we&#8217;ll just win on appeal.”
He said that Florida would be partnering with the Trump administration to establish other illegal alien detention centers.
DeSantis said that Florida’s massive shift to the Right under his leadership showed the impact of governing conservatively, saying that “people respond to results.”
“It&#8217;s not always easy,” he said. “None of this is cost free, but it&#8217;s worth it. And what we are doing in these states by showing that conservative policies that built this country, that our Founding Fathers believed in, we show that those work, that people vote with their feet &#8212; that is the best possible evidence we can produce to show people this is the way forward, not just us, for our kids and our grandkids.”
