Eternal Answer: The Giant in Front of You Is Never Bigger Than the God with You.

Eternal Answer: The Giant in Front of You Is Never Bigger Than the God with You.

Many of you have personal heartache – loss of loved ones, loss of a job, illness, family worries, business challenges and disappointments. Even people you love and trust may have let you down and broken your heart.

The daily grind can be mean and draining, but we can be sure that the Lord never changes, and His promises are true.

My prayer is that whatever ails you this weekend, you will be able to place it at the foot of the Cross, release it to the Lord, and trust Him to make life new again for you. He can. He will.

Be still. Contemplate. Rest in that fact.

II Corinthians 13:5 says,

“Test and evaluate yourselves to see whether you are in the faith and living your lives as committed believers.”

Taking that Scripture to heart, while strongly believing that every challenge, every test, and every trial is foremost an opportunity to find out what God intends us to learn from these circumstances, I’ve spent more time examining myself and current political circumstances in the light of God’s Word.

This I know – there is nothing too hard for the Lord and no giant is too big!

“Ah Lord God! Behold, You have made the heaven and the earth by Your great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for You;”

Jeremiah 32:17

“I know that You can do all things, and that no thought or purpose of Yours can be restrained or thwarted.”

Job 42:2

“But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, ‘With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.’”

Matthew 19:26

Like David, we must have the courage and boldness rooted in the belief that God is for us and whatever “giant” we face in this life will not prevail when our eyes are on Him. 

The longer I live, the more God confirms to me that He is bigger than any army of nasty “giants.”

I believe in a BIG, BIG Jehovah God! Do you?

It is an honor to work alongside so many dedicated Texas patriots. I am so deeply thankful for our Texas Conservative Grassroots Coalition and for the opportunities God has given us to fight for a liberty standard that will long outlive us.

In the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ – who is the same yesterday, today, and forever – have a peaceful, thankful Resurrection Day!

“Jesus said unto her, ‘I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?’”

John 11:25

Looking unto Jesus – the author and finisher of our faith,

Will Republican State Representatives Honor a Baby Killer Thursday?

Will Republican State Representatives Honor a Baby Killer Thursday?

The Local and Consent Calendars Committee chaired by Republican State Rep. Jared Patterson voted to honor Cecile Richards (House Resolution 236), deceased president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. The 5 other GOP State Reps on that committee are Jeff Barry, Charles Cunningham, Caroline Fairly, John Lujan, and Denise Villalobos. (6 Republicans & 5 Democrats)

With 46 days left in the 89th TX Legislative Session, bills needed to protect our children from grooming, sexualization, harm and abuse are running out of time with fewer chances of passing as each day goes by. Instead of prioritizing the defense and protection of children, TX House Republicans decided to spend time bringing shame to the Texas House with HR 236.

Honoring a woman who spent her life enabling infanticide and viciously attacking Christianity is wrong.

Doing so just before Resurrection Weekend when we celebrate the finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ on the Cross makes it even more “in your face” evil.

Never forget that your taxpayer dollars have been used for decades to subsidize Planned Parenthood – an organization known for extracting babies – weeks from birth and capable of feeling pain – from their mothers’ wombs. Recall that Planned Parenthood’s monsters inserted sharp instruments into the soft part of babies’ heads, ripping them open to extract the brains. Then they crushed those little heads to pull them further out of the womb to make it easier to extract the little hearts, livers, lungs, and other viable organs. Unspeakably evil, they sold the discarded baby parts for filthy lucre.

Richards also developed and promoted sex-ed programs encouraging youth promiscuity in America’s schools, building a regiment of staunch advocates and lobbyists for abortion, radical sex-ed curriculum for children, and cultural Marxist policies that birthed transgenderism. She will be forever known for her soul-eating destruction of children and families.

This floor resolution to honor Richards should never have reached the Texas House floor. We need to see all Republicans united against it on the floor today.

100 politicians and grifters spouting fact-challenged statements don’t make them right or good for your family!

Republican politicians supporting other Republican politicians’ BIG Gov’t legislation without knowing the FACTS is how we lose our liberty. Words mean things – especially codified into law!

There’s lasting poison in the bloated, corporate welfare-laden TX Budget, in off-budget funding of Hollywood actors in cowboy hats, in livestock registration, and in a school choice bill that puts an ugly Gov’t Regulatory Camel’s Nose into family tents, ties future “choice” funding to gov’t school funding – while assuring even failing gov’t schools they’ll lose NO taxpayer funding when students leave!

On top of all that, they are tossing your family crumbs when it comes to tax relief – approx. $6.5 Billion – not the $51 Billion Lie.

Want to be clones of this political ruling class?

Leave your common sense, values, and principles behind.

Keep following political idols and their groupie herds.

Listen to their ear-tickling words.

Don’t bother to look for the facts.

Surrender to group think.

Empower red jersey-ed politicians to steal the future from your family.

Follow political pied pipers off cliffs.

Live to regret it.

Surrendering Texas

Surrendering Texas

“…we would rather die in these ditches than give it up to the enemy.” James Bowie, Feb. 2, 1836

The independent spirit – and raw thirst to achieve it – that drove the rebellion of the Texas Revolution (1835 – 1836) would never happen today.

There is no more resistance to tyranny. Rather, Texas leaders try to make friends with it.

There is no more resistance to the lawbreaking and rule breaking in the Texas House. There is no more resistance to the Speaker who purposefully empowered Democrats (so much so that they bragged about it).

Prediction: Today, there won’t be any real budget battle to rein in the vulgar spending spree that grows TX gov’t, doles out corporate welfare & steals a surplus that should go to the people. (42.8% increase in state funds; 27.4% increase in all funds since the 2022-2023 budget).

Patterns repeat. Speaker Burrows and his foot soldiers have determined which “good” budget amendments they will allow to pass to put on a show. This is both the bait and cover the Speaker will provide for obedient, “no-resistance” State Reps to vote for passage of “the most conservative budget ever.”

Then, the spending bill will go to the Senate/House Conference Committee where 90% of the spending will go right back in.

Resistance will need to come from the People of Texas who no longer believe the Surrender Wing’s Alamo rhetoric – words that result in nothing but bigger government.

Texans deserve a real Texas DOGE – not a fake.

Texans deserve a real Texas DOGE – not a fake.

The Texas DOGE isn’t doing it for us.

Some of the TX House DOGE Committee members have good intentions, but as the saying goes, “The way to hell is paved with good intentions.”

While we support bills like HB 3770 that change Legislative Budget Board reviews of state agencies from “periodically may review” to “shall review,” this doesn’t begin to scratch the surface of BIG State Government.

For starters, the Republican officials heading up the Legislative Budget Board (LBB) already have the power to DOGE state government – but don’t appear to be the least bit interested.

The LBB is a permanent joint committee of the Texas Legislature, co-chaired by the Lt. Governor and the Speaker of the House. The remaining board members are specified by statute – Chair of the Senate Finance Committee; Chair of the House Appropriations Committee; Chair of the House Ways and Means Committee; three members of the state senate appointed by the Lt. Governor; and two members of the House appointed by the Speaker.

Nobody should believe that the same people who routinely grow Texas government through wild spending sprees are actually going to go after fraud, waste, and taxpayer abuse.

The LBB itself must be reformed. How do we know? If they were serious about an Elon-like “search and destroy” mission to find fraud, waste, needless regulations, and taxpayer abuse, the LBB would have already rolled out an aggressive, innovative DOGE plan for ALL of state government. They would have made it public and asked the Legislature to codify it.

If you are tired of the fakery, fiction, and good intentions leading to taxpayer hell, lean on Texas Republican officials to take a page out of Florida’s DOGE playbook. How about an aggressive plan to put Texans First – a plan to eliminate redundant state departments, agencies, programs, boards, and commissions? How about DOGE-ing state university and college operations and spending? Utilizing AI to examine state agencies to uncover hidden waste? Auditing the spending habits of local governments to shine light on waste and bloat?

As it stands now, there’s just no visible “business urgency” from statewide Republican leaders to do anything more than spend as much as possible. Want proof? How about almost $50 Billion in new spending?

Once again, the TX Senate (and soon the House) will show us that their big spending plans to grow state government are far more important than tax relief for people. Example #1 of many vulgar instances of Republican spending abuse – SB 22 will give $500 MILLION in sales tax revenue every 2 years to a Hollywood-style slush fund for film and media companies.

Nobody in power is serious about matching money, mission, and results for every part of state government. If they were, there’d be a hiring freeze in place along with modernization of state government to use AI and new technologies to identify more waste and noncompliance.

Opportunities to put Texans first abound. A genuine Texas DOGE should work in conjunction with the Comptroller’s Office to audit local governments, taking a close look at local government spending by simply utilizing publicly available county, school district, municipal and special taxing district spending records to expose bloat within local governance.

Trouble is – nobody with the power is interested in the heavy lift. It’s too much trouble to put Texans first.

Texans want to stop government sprawl. Their politicians don’t.

Texans need a real Texas DOGE – not a fake one.

TIPPING POINT now reached.

TIPPING POINT now reached.

In the TX House there are only two sides – bare knuckles, in-your-face corruption or “For the People.”

TX GOP House Leadership has now PROVEN:

  • its willful disregard for the TX Constitution which requires a quorum to conduct the People’s business, using trickery by inviting staff to fill the seats.
  • its willful disregard its own House rules, allowing Democrats to chair powerful budget committees, where they allocated billions of tax dollars to fund Democrat priorities, doing so in secret (clear violations of House transparency rules).
  • its willful standard of dishonesty by allowing Republican-led Calendars committee to meet in secret with no recording of deliberations.
  • its willful empowerment/extra funding of Democrats as House Committee Vice-Chairs, poised to STOP conservative bills.
  • its willful contempt for “Consent of the Governed,” blocking public testimony on the bloated state budget, which – like the Senate Budget – INCREASES FUNDING for gov’t entities engaged in DEI and gender ideology, among other utter nonsense.
  • its willful hatred for Texans by gutting priority bills to render them meaningless – bills to protect The People from future alien invasions, land purchases from foreign enemies, and kids from porn & trans pushers.

Reps, the grace period is over.

Time to pick a side. There won’t be enough excuses, perfume, or whitewash to cover what’s about to unfold.

If you aren’t visibly fighting, you’ve identified yourself with the Corrupt.

Most sincerely, JoAnn Fleming, GAWTP Executive Director
