No Joking Matter – Illegal is illegal

No Joking Matter – Illegal is illegal

Mass Illegal Occupation
of Texas and the US is no joking matter.

Time is running out.
Talk without Action Solves NOTHING!

Here’s THE Plan to remove as many illegals as possible to prepare for a post-Trump America.

Grassroots America is a partner in this Coalition.

Its mission is necessary and righteous.

Bottom line up front:

With little over a year of Trump’s second administration completed, the time for first phase deportations—“the worst first,” should come to an end and advance to phase two: a mass deportation program.

To push for phase two, the Mass Deportation Coalition formed in February 2026 in direct response to political, operational, legal, and physical attacks on deportation operations. These attacks come from both the Left and the Cheap Labor Lobby Right.

Purpose:

Support President Trump’s signature campaign promise to “carry out the largest deportation operation in American history.”

Background:

The Mass Deportation Coalition is composed of immigration law and policy experts, former senior and rank and file law enforcement officials, advocates, and supporters who will provide a permanent support base for mass deportation.

Dangerous Facts:

Trump 47’s first year should be celebrated as a success for highlighting the dangerous qualityof the criminal population removed, but the less than 350,000 actual deportations, (according to scarce data produced in connection with detention management), don’t represent a victory in quantity!

Recent disclosures that only 72,000 deportable aliens completed their use of the CBP Home app demonstrate that self-deportation is not happening at the rate advertised. Illegals are encouraged to “wait it out,” by rogue judges, Democrats, the deranged Left, and Trump officials aligned with the Cheap Labor Lobby.

WHY we are stepping up the pressure
with the Mass Deportation Coalition:

  • American sovereignty depends on this.
  • Saving Texas & the US from the Red/Green Axis (united Communists & Islamists) depends on this.
  • The American people were PROMISED this.
  • The American people overwhelmingly voted for this.
  • Failure to deliver will cause Trump supporters to STAY HOME during midterm elections, giving Democrats power to stop Trump in the last two years of his Presidency.  Massive violence and unrest will break loose across the US.

Remember the promises…

Our detailed Plan will help you debunk every single media lie and the propagandist campaigns of the Left and the Surrender Wing of the Republican Party:

  • Start with the 21-point Executive Summary graphic below.
  • Review the details for each of the 21 recommendations in our Mass Deportation Playbook found here.
  • Especially note the recent poll results at the end of the MDC Playbook.

Big “thank you” to the Texas Grassroots Coalition Partners who answered our call to join the MDC with us! See all groups here.

Time Suck Traps & Landmines

Time Suck Traps & Landmines

Truth and Integrity First!

Don’t be a Karen, a Darren, or a Validation Junkie

“Be not deceived:
evil communications
corrupt good manners.”

1 Corinthians 15:33

Those of you who know me well…

know that I detest the social media sandbox—where IQs and decency go to die.

Of course, I do “follow” those with proven common sense who speak with authority from facts, but I do not spend endless hours doomscrolling through every nitwit comment that obviously comes from a person with no intellectual curiosity, no respect for others, and who follows any trendy herd or hive. 
No. Thank. You.

Getting down on the level it takes to correct “Karens and Darrens” is like trading squirts with a skunk. You won’t win the fight; you’ll be stinky too; and it’s just too much of a time suck. Don’t address these irrational, fact-challenged people in small-minded ping pong. Instead, persuade “thinkers” by making your case with well-articulated, concise facts that contradict lies.

Emotional objections to laws and policies that we don’t like might make us feel good, but feelings and emotion alone will never fix any problem. They make it worse.

Shouting at local officials to take action to change federal law and then walking away is a fool’s errand.

Screeching in emails and on social media about how stupid, unwise, silly, or unlawful you think a local, state, or federal policy is won’t change it either.

Spreading misinformation to low information people makes you part of the problem.Please, don’t.

If it matters enough that your blood pressure shoots out your ears – take logical, problem-solving citizen action.

How?

The steps are easily understood, but the work is hard, which is why so few people do it!

First, get the documented FACTS.
That means original sources – not how someone else interpreted “information” they got third, fifth, or twentieth hand that likely originated with a complete doofus posting on social media.

Second, take personal responsibility—know your subject!
Use your gathered facts to crusade for the change you want to see.

Third, develop an action plan
of logical steps and objectives to reach the reform you seek.

Finally, recruit like-minded people
to your cause; build a team.

Stick with it until you win!

Of all the things in this world that break my heart…

Conservative grassroots activists allowing themselves to be used by paid propagandists, deceitful government staffers, and conniving political consultants is #1.

A close #2 is watching activists who are so breathlessly eager to become “influencers,” that they cast Biblical principles, honor, and truth aside just to be first, to get on a stage, to break a story, and to be “recognized” by elected officials.

The flesh’s desire to be noticed will overshadow wise, thoughtful, diligent, effective action every single time—if you allow it!

My role is not to confront or correct unless such an activist is already in an authorized leadership role with GAWTP or our Texas Conservative Grassroots Coalition. I’m not a den mother. Instead, my prayer is they’ll return to Truth—and sometimes—warning messages like this are the result.

One does not become a respected Subject Matter Expert through emotion and self-promotion.

Grassroots America’s long-time Subject Matter Experts earned credibility and respect by keeping their heads down—sacrificing years of their lives to become knowledgeable, stable, credible sources. They understand that learning never stops. These mature leaders take time to listen to those who understand the right way to ask questions, but they won’t waste time on emotional, screeching Karens and Darrens—and neither will I.

With a loving spirit, comes my plea to you:

  • Shun mob mentality.

  • Reject crowd psychology.

  • Stop bowing to FOMO (the fear of missing out).

  • Avoid idolizing ANY elected official. Appreciation is one thing, but slavish, drooling, groupie behavior that overrides your brain, commonsense, and Biblical values is most unbecoming.  Human nature being what it is, you might well wake up one day to find your ladder has been leaning against the wrong building. Even the mighty can fall under the weight of their own egos.  

  • Back off the dopamine abyss of social media—the time suck of infinite scrolling, the addiction to engineered reward systems (likes & comments), and user interactions that provoke dark emotions. It will rot your brain and your character. It will waste your life.

Instead, invest your time in actually making a difference in God’s Kingdom by serving His people.  If you are called to the political arena, invest your time in the four steps outlined at the beginning of this message.

You’ll be better for it. Your family and relationships will be enriched. Your outlook will improve.

You will become a problem-solver and an overcomer!

Who knows what God will do next with an obedient Kingdom-focused servant?

Conservative Republican Platform Resolutions
submitted for consideration

This is a place where TCG Coalition leaders offer resolutions for consideration by others. (If you don’t like a resolution, don’t use it.) You are free to take an example resolution and rewrite it. You don’t need permission to do so. You may share them.

You may download and print these resolutions or use as a guide to write your own…

The Republican Party of Texas rules require you to submit THREE COPIES of each resolution at your precinct convention. Bring your conservative friends (who voted in the Republican Primary) with you to your voting precinct convention to help get your resolutions approved!  These will then go to your Senate District or County Convention for consideration.  If approved at the Senate District/County Convention level, they will go on to the State Republican Platform Committee for consideration.

You’ll need to exercise personal responsibility to check for updates!  
We have too many ongoing projects to send an email each time this page is updated.

No judgment will be passed on the resolutions as long as they do not violate the 2024 RPT Platform Preamble and Principles!

See that document here.

  • We will not referee a debate among any individuals or groups. If you cannot resolve a disagreement, you are welcome to send the facts in written form to TCGCoalition@outlook.com for our review (as time permits).

  • We will not correct misspellings and grammatical errors pointed out by others. There’s no time on JoAnn’s or anyone else’s clock to be the Texas English Professor.

  • There will not be any resolutions that seek to expand Hollywood handouts, protect Sharia as religious expression, support illegal border crossers, trans culture, gambling, marijuana, or hallucinogenic mushrooms.

  • There will not be any resolutions that undermine the sanctity of human life or God’s definition of marriage and the family.

  • Hard Libertarians – anything that opposes the values expressed in God’s Word or the RPT Preamble and Principles won’t be posted; however, we are happy to work with you on policy areas of agreement.  

FOUND: Smith County Justice of the Peace Prec. 2 Backlogged Cases Growing!

FOUND: Smith County Justice of the Peace Prec. 2 Backlogged Cases Growing!

Smith County Justice of the Peace Prec. 2
Backlogged Cases Growing!

 

YOU BE THE JUDGE — LOOK AT THE RECORD:

Data Source:

Smith County FY 2026 Adopted Budget [09/09/25], page 123: Civil and Criminal Court Case Annual Reports (productivity reports for JP Courts) from Texas Judicial System Annual Reports.

Starting FY 2024, Justice of the Peace Precinct 2 Andy Dunklin’s Court (Noonday) had 10,444 cases pending (1,885 civil + 8,559 criminal).

By year’s end, that number had grown to 10,832 pending cases (2,175  civil + 8,657 criminal). This means JP Dunklin’s Court disposed of fewer cases than were filed, thus increasing the significant backlog.

Data Source:

Texas Judicial Branch’s (txcourts.gov) most recent online report (8/31/2025, page 43) shows Dunklin’s backlogs continued in 2025 with 10,855 actively pending cases.

This happened during the same period JP Dunklin received an $8,000 raise and was not open five days a week, from 8 to 5.

PROBLEM: A consistent, clear pattern—the backlog is growing — not shrinking!

SOLUTION: Elect “Citizen-First” Shawn Scott for Justice of the Peace.  He’s pledged to work aggressively to reduce this backlog—AT LEAST 5 days a week, from 8-5. Let’s hire him at the ballot box on March 3!

Clearing Up Campaign Distortions

Clearing Up Campaign Distortions

Political controversy is easy to manufacture. Facts require discipline.

Grassroots America evaluates leadership based on governing performance — not campaign-season narratives.

We cannot investigate every single campaign lie, smear, or distortion, but the claims lodged against Railroad Commissioner Jim Wright (and the rest of the RRC) have been so outrageous, we went on a deep dive. Texas Oil & Gas energy dominance requires stability, competence, and technical rigor — not political volatility.

Political controversy is easy to manufacture.Facts require discipline. Campaign-season attacks rely on selective timelines, incomplete budget metrics, exaggerated claims, and mischaracterized policy authority.

This manufactured chaos is fueled by a growing and easily identifiable blood lust on the Right for monetized clicks, likes, and shares. Never mind if the spew is true, if it causes death threats from the Left, or destroys a reputation.

In case you didn’t know the facts, we offer the following for your consideration:

 Summary of Campaign‑Related Accusations Against Jim Wright 

1. Claims about donating to Democrats

Political candidates and other opponents highlight  that Jim Wright made political donations to Democratic candidates, framing this  as evidence that he is insufficiently aligned with Republican voters.  Truth is – you would be surprised at the number  of high-flying Republicans who do the same AND who fund big anti-taxpayer bond  elections around the state (violating the Republican Party of Texas Platform).  If this a measuring stick for Wright – it should be a standard for all. Should that include President  Trump? We think NOT! See what Trump has to say about his record of  giving to Democrats.

Wright’s contributions from 2009 – 2015 predate his 2020 election to the Texas Railroad Commission. We find no contributions since 2015 – ten years ago.  Wright says his past contributions were never about party loyalty; they were about “protecting the oil and gas industry and supporting people I trusted at the time. President Trump did the same thing for years. When you’re in business, you work with whoever is in power to protect jobs, keep regulations reasonable, and make sure American energy stays strong. That’s not political — that’s practical.”

2. Criticism over conflicts of interest

Opponents use Wright’s business ties to oil‑field waste companiesas a campaign issue, suggesting he is too close to the industry he regulates.  In fact, public records show that Wright recused himself from a vote involving Eagleford Recycling LLC, a company to which he has financial ties. We could find no evidence that ethics charges have ever been filed against RR Commissioner Wright.

3. Claims that DEI spending under Wright is sky-high, even higher than liberal universities – implying that the other two Commissioners – Wayne Christian and Christi Craddick have allowed it!

The Claim: The Railroad Commission spends nearly 45% of all spending on DEI. In FY 2023, RRC ranked 41st in the state in HUB spending, but in FY 2025, the RRC ranked 9th.

We find this claim to be false.  First, the RRC is compelled to follow the law until the law is changed OR the Governor issues a lawful executive order!  Governor Abbott’s Executive Order GA-55 was issued on January 31, 2025.

We received confirmation that the RRC’s new VetHub policies per the Governor’s EO GA-55 (adopted by the RRC per TAC title 34 part 1, chapter 20, subchapter D, and Government code title 10 subtitle D, chapter 2161, subchapter A) ensures the RRC aligns with the Governor’s recent “color blind” directive.  Link to the new VetHUB policy that state agencies use for compliance with EO GA-55: Veteran Heroes United in Business (VetHUB)

Further statistics proving the claim to be false:

The referenced report claiming DEI spending actually comes from the Comptroller’s office and only looks at an agency’s HUB-eligible expenditures, NOT its full budget. Keep in mind also that HUB – a state program – was just restructured in December 2025 by the Comptroller’s Office.  This means that all contracts BEFORE the restructuring had to comply with the State’s original HUB rules.

Using FY 2024 (before the Governor’s EO) as an example, the RRC’s operating budget was approximately $240 million.  Of that total, only $23.4 million was identified as HUB-eligible expenditures. Of that $23.4 million, the RRC spent $10 million (43% of eligible expenditures) on HUB contracts. 

When you consider the RRC’s FY 2024 budget of $240 million, only 4.1% went to legal HUBs.  (allegation overstates the figure by a factor of 10) In fact, less than 10% of the budget ($23.4 million) was even eligible for HUB spending. FY 2023 – $8,772,101 was spent in HUB-qualified spending, out of the $137,000,000 budget (9.31% of the overall budget). FY 2022 – $7,533,000 was spent in HUB-qualified spending, out of the $145,000,000 budget (11% of the overall budget).

4. Claims the RRC has a fleet of “Chinese Spy Drones.”

This claim is wildly distorted and misleading!  

Fact:Our research reveals the only division at the RRC that regularly uses drones is the Surface Mining Division (coal and lignite mines).  All of their drones are compliant with the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).  These drones are quite expensive (15-20k per drone).

The Oil and Gas  Division has a total of 8 drones, which cost $3-5k per drone, and they are  Chinese built.  It is our understanding  that the vast majority of drones produced over the last decade have been  Chinese made.  That said, the RRC has  been given a waiver by the Governor’s Office to use those drones.  However, there is no legislation that allows  drones to be used in oil and gas inspection activities.  Therefore, the only time these particular  drones are used is in emergency situations.   There are other activities in which drones will be helpful in the  future, including looking for wellbores.

5. Claims the Railroad Commission (including Commissioner Wayne Christian and Christi Craddick) are allowing our foreign adversaries to massively expand their hold on Texas oil – letting them take over 100,00 acres of Texas land

We spoke to Commissioner Wayne Christian directly about this.  He agreed that SB 17, which went into effect on 9/1/2025, grants authority to the Attorney General, not the Railroad Commission, to investigate and prosecute individuals or corporations that are violating SB 17. 

That being said, our research also indicates the cited companies and activities in the allegations were occurring well before SB 17 was enacted and became effective on 9/1/25.

Just because certain companies are “active” in Texas does not necessarily make it a violation. The prohibition is against real property ownership; not operations.  If the Texas Legislature believes these operations should be clawed back, they will need to figure out how to lawfully nullify existing contracts.

Additionally, if Texas is going to restrict foreign ownership of gas stations, that will need to be spelled out in the law, which  is a constitutional duty of the legislative branch.  The Railroad Commission cannot make law or  suspend law and it surely has no authority to nullify existing contracts or  pick and choose who can own gas stations.

6. Claims the Railroad Commission (Wright, Christian, Craddick) support a billion dollar tax on the oil and gas industry.

Not true. First, a bill creating such a tax would need to be passed by the legislature and either signed into law by the Governor or allowed to become law without his signature.  Some are wrongly conflating this claim with a bill Sen. Hughes filed to charge a 20 cent fee on out of state water injected in Texas. The Hughes bill never got a hearing and there was no House companion.  The idea behind it was to stop states, like New Mexico, from unfairly dumping their produced water on Texas while having banned its disposal in their own state. The purpose is to protect Texas. The truth is—none of the Railroad Commissioners support a billion dollar tax on the oil and gas industry and we found no evidence they ever have.

We hope this helps clear up some confusion.  It took many hours to investigate. Truth matters. You matter. Saving Texas matters.
