The Hijacking of Black History Month
“If there is no God, then I am God.” — Fyodor Dostoevsky, Demons
I'm tired. And I don't mean the kind of tired that sleep fixes. I mean the kind of tired that comes from opening your phone every morning and being assaulted by a new cycle of chaos, contradiction, and political theater dressed up as progress. This has been one of those weeks where social media feels less like a tool for connection and more like a weapon of mass distraction — and I say that as somebody who uses it daily to speak truth.
February is supposed to be American Black History Month. A time when this nation — however performatively — pauses to acknowledge the contributions, the suffering, the resilience, and the brilliance of American Descendants of Slavery. But this February? Black History Month got pushed to the back of the bus. Again.
If I must be honest I could take Black History Month or leave it. But this year I am more focused because I can't help but wonder how stories of Black History is being overshowed by The Epstein files. Our Leaders are more concerned about these files then they are about focusing on our past, current and future standing in this country.
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers…”
The Epstein Circus and the Trump Smokescreen
I am not certain how much the Epstein files matter. I don't think sex trafficking is the greatest story told in these files. I think justice for those victims matters; however, the victims are not those women standing at the congressional hearings wearing T-shirts. Reading through some of the depositions from the young girls, I believe they were manipulated by Epstein and not necessarily forced. They wanted money and were willing to sacrifice themselves without understanding the long-term consequences. Epstein and Maxwell were the monsters who were consuming young people for personal pleasure. It's sick and disgusting, but true.
One of the depositions discussed the ways young girls were manipulated—how they came and went and how they collected cash with each 30-minute massage. How they lied to their parents and skipped school to give 30-minute massages, how they referred friends, and how Epstein referred them to friends. Old men with a great deal of cash who wanted massages. It was all a vicious cycle of young girls being manipulated by monsters in the name of cash.
Unfortunately, what has been revealed has targeted no individual. Those men getting massages are like ghosts or phantoms who appear in motel and hotel rooms and exit without sight or sound. Sex is being played out in the media this month, and there is no pursuit of justice for victims of sexual predators. These terms are being used as a political weapon, wielded with surgical precision simply to gaslight the American people.
They want us to focus on the sexual allegations, although they lack evidence. Creating a witch hunt against individuals who have been implicated simply because their name happened to appear in the file. There are no new convictions because they lack substantial evidence, and yet they continue to holler about pedophiles and sex trafficking.
The Department of Justice has acknowledged that the files contain what it described as unfounded and false allegations submitted to the FBI before the 2020 election. They steer us to the sexual allegations and keep the narrative machine spinning: Trump is guilty by association. Trump is a predator. Trump is the real story.
While we are focused on stories without any evidence, we ignore other stories that are told in that file. And Black History Month is drowned out. Our history, once again, was not the priority. Our stories got scrolled past while pundits debated whether a birthday card with Trump's name on it constitutes evidence of sexual misconduct. The exhaustion is real.
The Barking Dog, the Bone, and the Buried Truth
There's a narrative at work here. Think of it this way: they've got a barking dog in your ear and a hand over your eyes. The Epstein files are the barking dog the left has been using for months now to keep the noise going, to keep you distracted. For a little while, ICE was the bone that shut the dog up — the immigration raids, the deportation stories, the outrage machine had something else to chew on. But that bone got snatched away, and now the dog is barking again. Louder than ever.
Last week, Les Wexner — the 88-year-old billionaire founder of L Brands, the man behind Victoria's Secret — was deposed by members of the House Oversight Committee at his mansion in New Albany, Ohio. He sat there for nearly five hours under oath. And to his credit, he played the right card. He said he didn't know what Epstein was up to. He called himself naive, foolish, and gullible. He said he was duped by a world-class con man. He said he cut ties with Epstein nearly twenty years ago. He said no one from the FBI or any other law enforcement agency ever contacted him about allegations of sexual assault. He said he barely knew the man — and of course, we can figure out that's probably not the whole truth when you've given someone your power of attorney and billions of dollars in assets, including a million dolloar townhouse in Manhattan.
But here's the thing: even if Wexner's relationship with Epstein was deeper than he admits — and it almost certainly was — there is no evidence of pedophilia on his part. That's a different question entirely. No indictment. No DNA. No victims naming him in criminal complaints. No charges. Nothing. What there is, is hearsay, speculation, and a congressional fishing expedition led entirely by Democrats.
And let me emphasize that point. Not a single Republican member of the House Oversight Committee showed up for the Wexner deposition. Not one. Chairman James Comer cited a medical procedure. But the optics tell the story: this was a Democratic witch trial from start to finish. Five Democrats flew to Ohio to grill an 88-year-old man in his home about his sex life, about Epstein's sex life, and — here's where it gets truly maddening — about Donald Trump's sex life.
Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett of Texas sat across from this man and asked him point blank: "Did Epstein ever share any information with you about Donald Trump's sexual activities?" Wexner said no. She asked if he ever saw or became aware of Trump having a sexual relationship with someone introduced to him by Epstein or Maxwell. Wexner said no. She pressed on whether Epstein had ever discussed Trump with him. No. Whether Trump had ever discussed Epstein. No. There was nothing there. Wexner said Trump used to show up at Victoria's Secret fashion shows and introduce himself, and that he found it odd because Trump had nothing to do with fashion. That's it. That's all they got. An implication not an allegation that provided a road to an investigation.
And yet Crockett told reporters afterward: "We're gonna be on his a--." Talking about the President of the United States. Based on what? Based on a man saying he doesn't remember and clearly not credible. If this is what passess for investigation in America then our judicial system is in trouble.
To think that any person can be hauled before Congress, sat down under oath, and asked these kinds of intimate, degrading questions based solely on hearsay, without a single shred of physical evidence, goes against every democratic right you can imagine. Every citizen has the right to remain silent. Every citizen has the right to face their accusers. And those who want to prosecute have the burden of presenting a case. But there is no case here. No indictment. No allegations supported by facts — no DNA, no forensic evidence, nothing. Even in the case of Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky, she had proof. She had the blue dress. She had Clinton's DNA. That was a real case built on real evidence. Here we have Congress asking an 88-year-old man about another man's sexual proclivities and then pivoting to ask about the President's — all for the cameras, all for the narrative.
It was all a circus. Big tents telling us to look over here at the clowns.
The Questions Nobody's Asking
But here's what really got to me this week. While Democrats were busy trying to connect Trump to Epstein through an 88-year-old man's fading memory, nobody was asking the questions that actually matter. The real questions. The ones that, if answered, would shake the foundations of power in this country.
Like: Why wasn't any of this investigated in 1996? That's when the FBI first heard allegations about Epstein. A woman named Maria Farmer reported to the FBI that Epstein had stolen naked photos of her underage siblings. No investigation was conducted. For years. How does that happen unless someone wanted it to happen?
Like: Where did Epstein get his money? This is a man who lived like a billionaire, owned islands and planes and mansions, and yet no one can fully account for the source of his wealth. Wexner gave him enormous sums, yes — but even that doesn't explain the full scope. Did Epstein's money have anything to do with Iran-Contra and the drugs that flooded our communities in the 1980s? Were those hands washed clean? Were they ever dirty to begin with in a way that implicates the intelligence agencies?
If the FBI, the CIA, and the DOJ are filled with the intellectuals they purport to be, then why — in thirty years — has there not been a single thorough investigation into how Epstein built his empire? I think it's because nobody wanted these graves dug up. Because those graves don't just hold Epstein's secrets. They hold the secrets of the institutions that looked the other way. The same institutions that gave us the Covid crisis and forced it upon the world. The same institutions that have pushed transgenderism as settled science when the conversation is far from settled. The same institutions that talk about human trafficking in the abstract while wealthy men continue to bring women from around the world to increase their own sexual power — and nothing is done.
All of that gets buried under allegations that can't be substantiated. Under congressional theater that leads nowhere. Under headlines designed to generate clicks and outrage but never justice.
Let's Be Honest About What We're Looking At
Another thing that struck me about the Epstein files. The bottle girls. The VIP clubs. The way sex is used as currency in certain circles — young women selling themselves for cash and high-priced bottles, for access to powerful men, for the promise of a modeling career or a seat at the table. The files are full of this. And the media acts shocked.
As if strip clubs aren't real things. As if prostitution isn't a real lifestyle that some women choose and some are forced into. As if there aren't levels to this — from the street corner to the high-priced escort who does the same things in a penthouse instead of a motel. The only difference is the price tag and the zip code.
That's not a defense of Epstein. That's a reality check. The culture of sexual transaction that Epstein exploited didn't start with him and it won't end with him. It exists because powerful men create the demand and vulnerable women — and sometimes girls — are positioned to meet it. And instead of dealing with that systemic reality, Congress wants to know if an 88-year-old man remembers whether Trump was at a fashion show twenty years ago.
The whole thing is maddening. And if it weren't documented and on video, you wouldn't believe it was true.
What's Actually in the Files That Nobody Wants to Talk About
Here is where I need everybody to pay close attention. Because while Congress is busy chasing Trump's name through these files, the truly dangerous revelations are being glossed over. The things that should terrify every Black person, every poor person, every person of faith in this country — those are the things nobody on Capitol Hill wants to discuss.
The Epstein files reveal that this man wasn't just a sex trafficker. He was a eugenicist. A race scientist. A man who believed he could engineer a superior human race — and he had the money, the connections, and the intellectual infrastructure to try.
Epstein maintained a list of nearly thirty top scientists. He funded research at Harvard, MIT, the Santa Fe Institute, and other elite institutions to the tune of millions of dollars. He gave $6.5 million to Harvard's Program for Evolutionary Dynamics. He donated $800,000 to MIT's Media Lab. He gave $120,000 to the Worldwide Transhumanist Association — now called Humanity Plus — an organization dedicated to using genetic engineering and artificial intelligence to "enhance" the human race. He organized lavish science conferences, flew researchers to his private island, held dinners with Nobel laureates and Silicon Valley billionaires, and embedded himself so deeply in the scientific establishment that researchers were sharing pre-publication manuscripts with him and consulting him on their career crises.
Brilliant minds discussing funding over those expensive dinners with whores in the house.
Race science. The files contain email exchanges where Epstein and his scientific associates openly discussed the supposed cognitive inferiority of Black people. One AI researcher wrote to Epstein in 2016 that Black children have slower cognitive development. Another exchange entertained the idea that mass deaths of the elderly might be beneficial to humanity. Epstein himself told Steve Bannon on camera that if he were in the forest competing against an African, he'd be the one getting eaten — because Black people have the physical intelligence to deal with their environment, implying they lack the higher intelligence he attributed to himself.
This is what was being discussed in the rooms that Epstein's money built. Not at Klan rallies. Not in anonymous chat rooms. At Harvard. At MIT. At private dinners with the men building the AI systems that will govern our futures.
Epstein was obsessed with transhumanism — the idea of using technology and genetic engineering to transcend human limitations. But his version of transhumanism was eugenics dressed in a lab coat. He wanted to "seed the human race" with his own DNA by impregnating twenty women at a time on his New Mexico ranch. He screened women at parties like livestock at auction. He was fixated on blue eyes as a supposed marker of intelligence. He joked with Prince Andrew about cloning himself. He wanted his head and his penis cryogenically frozen for future resurrection. This man was not just a predator — he was playing God with the backing of some of the most respected scientific minds in the world.
And let me connect another dot that the media conveniently ignores. Epstein was included in email conversations about pandemic preparedness and global health financing years before Covid-19 ever appeared. A 2017 email from Boris Nikolic — a science advisor with direct ties to Bill Gates — was addressed to both Epstein and Gates, discussing donor-advised fund strategies for key areas including pandemic response. Epstein was in the room where global health priorities were being financially structured. He had relationships with virologists. Stanford virologist Nathan Wolfe visited Epstein's homes in New York and Florida, pitching him on funding virus research. The files show Epstein positioned himself at the intersection of global health philanthropy, financial engineering, and pandemic risk modeling.
Now I'm not saying Epstein created Covid. But I am saying this: the same networks that looked the other way while he trafficked girls are the same networks that shaped the global pandemic response. The same institutions — the intelligence agencies, the scientific establishment, the philanthropic class — that protected Epstein for decades are the same ones that told us to shut up, stay home, take the shot, and don't ask questions. Now we're just supposed to believe that they're really pursuing justice.
And then there's the transhumanism pipeline into the gender ideology that has swept through our schools, our medical institutions, and our culture. Epstein funded organizations and thinkers who believe the human body is something to be transcended, modified, and redesigned. That biology is a limitation to be engineered away. That nature is a rough draft and technology is the editor. This is the same philosophical root that feeds the idea that a child can be born in the wrong body. That hormones and surgery can correct what God designed. Transhumanism and transgenderism share the same intellectual DNA — the belief that the human being as created is insufficient and must be improved upon by human hands.
Epstein's money flowed into the very academic and nonprofit networks that now promote these ideologies as settled science. The same circles that entertained his eugenics fantasies over cocktails and coffee klatches are the ones publishing the research, writing the policies, and training the doctors who are reshaping our children. And we're told to celebrate it. We're told it's progress. We're told that questioning it makes us bigots.
And let me say something that might make people uncomfortable, but it's the truth and somebody needs to say it. We call Epstein and Maxwell monsters — and they were — for manipulating young people, exploiting their vulnerability, consuming their innocence for personal gain. The whole country is united in outrage over that. But what do we call the organizations that tell a woman it's empowering to kill her unborn child? What do we call the doctors who put a confused twelve-year-old boy on puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones and sentence him to a lifetime of medication to chase a biological impossibility? What do we call the system that celebrates all of this as healthcare and progress?
Epstein and Maxwell were individual monsters. But what we're looking at now is a monstrous system — institutional, funded, protected by law, and cheered on by the very same progressive establishment that sat at Epstein's dinner table. We cry outrage with one hand and applaud with the other. We weep for the girls Epstein manipulated and then hand our own children over to ideologies that are no less destructive — just better branded.
And here's what nobody wants to acknowledge: sex, prostitution, even the exploitation that Epstein trafficked in — those evils are as old as civilization itself. Since the scattering of mankind, since Babel, men have bought and sold flesh. It is wicked, but it is ancient. Abortion on demand as a political right? Gender transition as mainstream medicine for children? Those are new. Those are modern inventions — ideas that didn't exist in any serious mainstream form until the last hundred years. They are not the natural order of anything. They are manufactured ideologies, packaged as liberation, and sold to the very communities least equipped to survive their consequences.
Meanwhile, the communities most affected by these ideologies — our communities, Black communities, poor communities — are the ones least equipped to push back. We don't have the lobbying power. We don't have the media platforms. We don't have the institutional backing. What we have is our faith, our common sense, and the willingness to say out loud what everybody else is whispering: something is deeply wrong, and the people responsible for it are the same people who are now pointing fingers at everyone else.
And at the root of it all is something that goes deeper than policy or politics. The left's ideology moves away from God. It has to. Because you cannot pursue the kind of project Epstein and his intellectual circle were funding — redesigning human beings, engineering a master race, deciding which lives are worth living and which aren't — unless you first remove God from the equation. You have to dethrone the Creator before you can sit in His seat.
That's what transhumanism is. That's what eugenics is. That's what the gender ideology is. It's man saying: I know better than God. I can improve on what He made. I can fix what He designed. And the people making that claim aren't preachers or prophets — they're scientists and billionaires and politicians who have appointed themselves the saviors of humanity. Bill Gates will save you from the pandemic. Harvard will save you from your own biology. The government will save you from your ignorance. Just trust them. Just comply. Just hand over your children and your faith and your common sense, and they will build a better world.
That is the zeitgeist of the age. It is the spirit that runs through every single institution that protected Jeffrey Epstein, that funded his eugenics fantasies, that entertained his race science over expensive dinners, and that is now telling you to look at Trump instead of looking at them.
Meanwhile, Blue States Are Bleeding Their Own
Now let me turn the lens where it really needs to go — to the Democratic-led states and cities that promised the working class and the poor a better life. Because while the left paints Trump as a white nationalist whose only concern is his base, their own policies are gutting the very communities they claim to champion. The receipts are right here.
Virginia: Taxing You for Walking the Dog
Governor Abigail Spanberger came into office in January on a platform of *affordability*. The ink wasn't dry on her inauguration speech before Virginia Democrats introduced over fifty new tax proposals — and I wish I was making this up — including taxes on dog walking, gym memberships, dry cleaning, home repairs, food delivery, package deliveries, and electric leaf blowers.
Dog walking. They want to tax you for walking your dog.
This is a state that Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin left with a $572 million budget surplus and four consecutive years of surpluses totaling $10 billion. He cut taxes and attracted business. And the very first thing Democrats did was reach into every pocket they could find. Some proposals would push Virginia's top income tax rate to 13.8% — higher than California's — giving the Commonwealth the dubious distinction of being the most heavily taxed state in the nation. Virginians didn't vote for that. They voted for affordability. What they got was a tax on picking up their dry cleaning.
New York: The Double-Edged Sword of Mamdani's Math
New York City's new mayor, Zohran Mamdani, is a self-described democratic socialist who rode into office on promises of rent freezes, free bus rides, city-owned grocery stores, and universal childcare. Beautiful promises. Campaign poetry. But now the prose of governing has arrived, and the numbers don't add up.
Mamdani inherited a $5.4 billion budget gap — a mess he blames on former Mayor Eric Adams and years of fiscal mismanagement. His preferred solution? Tax the wealthy. Raise income taxes by two percentage points on millionaires and hike corporate taxes. But Governor Kathy Hochul has flatly refused to support it. She has said repeatedly she will not raise taxes on the wealthy this year. So Mamdani responded with a threat: if Albany won't tax the rich, he'll raise property taxes on homeowners by 9.5%.
Let that sink in. He is going to hold hostage the middle class and poor communities if he doesn't get funding for a socialists budget.
The man who promised to freeze rents for four years on rent-stabilized apartments is now threatening to raise taxes on the property owners who provide those very apartments. How does that math work? If you freeze the income a landlord can collect from rent but increase the taxes they owe on the building, where does that money come from? It comes from deferred maintenance. It comes from buildings falling apart. It comes from landlords abandoning properties altogether. Who will be there standing in line to scoop up and save the abandoned properties, will it be the government. Is this a government takeover. Socialism working at its best. The New York Apartment Association warned that this combination would guarantee the physical destruction of tens of thousands of housing units. The Working-class, middle-class New Yorkers workers disproportionately Black families, lives in those units.
How about the free grocery stores? A Polymarket-funded pop-up in the West Village drew lines around the block — with shoppers being paired with staff who rushed them through the aisles. One woman on disability said she couldn't even get everything she needed before items ran out. Economists have called the city-owned grocery store plan a doomed experiment. Kansas City tried it. It failed. The grocery business runs on razor-thin margins, and government has never been known for efficiency. But Mamdani is charging ahead because the campaign slogan sounded good.
Your taxes will be used to fund the free grocery stores that will tell you what you will eat and what to put in your bag.
Chicago: Taxed to Death and Losing Its Team
Chicago. Another blue city. Another promise of progress. Another tax disaster.
Chicago homeowners were hit with record property tax increases. These spikes are happening in the poorest neighborhoods, predominantly Black communities — because commercial property values in downtown areas have plummeted. Businesses have left. Now office towers sit empty and the tax burden shifted to the people who can least afford it.
Cook County Treasurer Maria Pappas put it plainly: the high-rises downtown are unrented because businesses have left the city, and somebody has to pick up the tab. So the residences are picking it up. The homeowners. The working people. The very voters who were told that Democratic leadership would protect them.
Chicago's 2026 budget imposed $473 million in new taxes — on shopping bags, Uber rides, alcohol, online gaming, and even a first-in-the-nation social media tax. Mayor Brandon Johnson proposed a per-employee head tax on large firms that the City Council rejected, with aldermen warning it would drive even more businesses out.
Now the Chicago Bears — one of the NFL's founding franchises, over a century of football in Chicago — are on the verge of leaving the state entirely. Indiana lawmakers unanimously passed a bill this week to lure the team to Hammond, just across the state line. The Bears called it the most meaningful step forward in their stadium efforts to date. Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker admitted that the team is unlikely to build within Chicago's city limits. Sources close to the situation called the move to Indiana an inevitability.
A hundred years of football history, walking out the door. Because Chicago's leadership couldn't get out of its own way. Because the taxes were too high. Because the bureaucracy was too thick. Because Indiana said: we're open for business — and Illinois said: we're open for new taxes.
The Narrative Machine Never Sleeps
Now let me be clear about something, because this is the thread that ties everything together. All of it — the Epstein circus, the tariff headlines, the culture wars — is being run through a narrative machine operated by the left. And the machine has one function: point everything at Donald Trump, MAGA, or racism, and hope nobody looks behind the curtain.
They have a practice. They pick a direction, they drive the narrative relentlessly, and they count on us getting so caught up in the emotion — the outrage, the victimhood, the moral panic — that we lose sight of the fact that the left and left-leaning individuals are more implicated in the Epstein files than the right. The Clintons, the academic establishment, the philanthropic class, the media gatekeepers — these are overwhelmingly liberal institutions. And yet, the story we're being told is that "no side is innocent," as if the guilt is evenly distributed. It's not. But that framing gives them cover to pivot from the files straight to Trump's name appearing in a contact list, as if proximity is the same as culpability. Meanwhile, the scientists who were discussing Black cognitive inferiority over Epstein-funded dinners at Harvard? Those are their people. The transhumanist organizations that got Epstein's checks? Those run in progressive intellectual circles. But somehow the camera always swings back to the same target.
They do this with everything. They put all white people in a racist box as if only white Republicans are capable of racism. As if a white progressive who funds eugenics research at MIT is somehow less dangerous than a MAGA voter in a red hat. The left has perfected the art of the redirect, and this past week gave us two textbook examples.
The Tariff Ruling: What They Told You vs. What Actually Happened
On Friday, February 20th, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that President Trump could not use the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose tariffs. Chief Justice Roberts wrote the opinion, joined by Gorsuch, Barrett, and the three liberal justices. The decision struck down the IEEPA tariffs — which had raised over $160 billion — on the grounds that the 1977 law doesn't mention tariffs and no president had ever used it that way before.
Now here's what the media told you: "Supreme Court strikes down Trump's tariffs in major blow to the president." That's the headline. That's what they want you to walk away with. Trump lost. The Court checked his power. Democracy wins.
Here's what actually happened: within hours of the ruling, Trump signed a proclamation imposing a 10% tariff under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 — a completely different legal authority. By the next morning, he'd raised it to 15%, the maximum allowed under that statute. Section 232 tariffs on steel, aluminum, autos, and other goods remain untouched. Section 301 tariffs remain in place. The IEEPA avenue was closed, but the man still has multiple legal tools to impose tariffs, and he used them the same day.
But that's not the story, is it? The story is "Trump lost." The story is "the Court reined him in." They don't want you to see that tariff authority still exists through multiple congressional statutes. They don't want you to understand that the Constitution gives Congress the power to tax imports — and Congress has already delegated significant portions of that power to the president through other laws. They want you to feel good about a headline and move on. Because if you actually read the ruling and the response, the picture is far more complicated than they want you to see.
The Texas Senate Split: Crockett, Talarico, and the Media's Invisible Hand
We can’t leave out the quieter story that are just as revealing. Down in Texas, the Democratic Senate primary between Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett and state Rep. James Talarico has turned into a case study in narrative manipulation.
Talarico sat for an interview with Stephen Colbert on The Late Show. But on Monday night, Colbert announced on air that CBS lawyers had pulled the interview, citing potential FCC violations related to equal time rules for political candidates. Both Colbert and Talarico framed it as CBS bowing to pressure from the Trump administration. The media ran with that angle. Poor Talarico, silenced by Trump's regulatory intimidation.
But hold on. Think about what actually happened. Talarico — the candidate the Democratic establishment clearly prefers — got the Colbert interview in the first place. Not Crockett. Crockett, a sitting U.S. Congresswoman who had previously been on Colbert's show, was not invited this time. And when the interview was pulled, Talarico's campaign raised $2.5 million in 24 hours off the controversy. Crockett herself acknowledged it gave him the boost he was looking for. That's not suppression — that's a fundraising strategy wrapped in a censorship narrative.
And then, before the week was out, where did Talarico show up? On Bill Maher's show, Friday, February 20th. Right there on the panel with Lauren Boebert, debating faith and politics on national television. No Jasmine Crockett. Talarico. Again.
The Democrats clearly do not want Crockett on that ticket. They are pouring their support behind Talarico because they believe he has the better shot at winning a state that hasn't elected a Democrat to the Senate since 1988. Talarico is the one getting the national media platforms, the viral moments, the fundraising boosts. Crockett is being treated like an afterthought. The party establishment is working behind the scenes to lift one candidate and let the other dangle in the wind. But they'll never say that out loud. Instead, they blame Trump for the Colbert interview being pulled and pretend both candidates have equal footing.
As I write this I am biting my tongue until it bleeds. Because stranger things have happened in politics and Crockett just might pull it off. But on the Republican side, the candidate I believe is the overall best person for that seat — Wesley Hunt — is in a tough spot, running third behind Paxton at 38% and Cornyn at 31% in the latest Hobby School poll. Hunt is polling at 17%, with the lowest unfavorable rating of any candidate in the race and the highest net favorability after Talarico. He's 44 years old, a West Point graduate, a combat veteran, and an America First conservative who entered Congress under the Trump movement. He is the future of the Republican Party in Texas.
But Cornyn has $60 million in ad support. Paxton has the MAGA base. And Hunt is stuck between the establishment and the populists. If Democrats in Texas were truly strategic — if they actually cared about governance over party loyalty — they would look at Wesley Hunt and recognize that he is the best overall candidate in either primary. Not Crockett. Not Talarico. Hunt. He's the one who could win a general election, govern competently, and represent the full spectrum of Texans. But partisan blinders will keep everyone in their lane, and Texas will be worse for it.
The Pattern Is the Point
Virginia. New York. Chicago. The Epstein files. The tariff headlines. The Texas primary games. It's all one big fat, ugly, manipulation tacit strategically implemented by social media narratives pandered by those with the biggest pocket books.
They promised tax relief and delivered tax hikes. They promised to protect the poor and shifted the burden onto them. They promised economic vitality and watched businesses pack their bags. They promised to be the antidote to Trump and his supposed white nationalism — and yet the communities being devastated by their policies are overwhelmingly black and working class communities. And this is February Black History month. For Real?
This is not the Republican Party doing this. These are Democrats. These are progressives. These are the people who hold up Black History Month banners in February and then spend the other eleven months crafting policies that hollow out Black communities from the inside. These are the people whose intellectual darlings were discussing eugenics and race science at Epstein-funded dinners while simultaneously lecturing us about systemic racism.
And while they do all of this, they point at Trump. Look over there. Epstein files — but only the pages with Trump's name. Tariff ruling — but only the headline that says he lost. Texas Senate race — but only the story about censorship, not the story about which candidate the party machine is actually backing. Whatever the distraction of the week is, it serves the same purpose: if you're watching Trump, you're not watching your property tax bill double. You're not watching your city lose its football team. You're not watching your governor propose a tax on walking your dog. You're not reading what the scientists at Harvard were actually saying about your black children.
I'm scrolled out. I'm taxed out. And I'm tired of being sold out by the very people who claim to be on our side.
This February, Black History Month didn't get overshadowed by accident. It got overshadowed by design. Because the last thing certain people want is for Black Americans to stop and think about our history — and then look around at our present — and start asking: who is really working for us?
Here's the deepest truth I can offer you. Every ideology that is destroying our communities — the eugenics repackaged as science, the transgenderism sold as compassion, the socialism dressed up as justice, the taxes marketed as progress — all of it flows from the same poisoned well. It all begins with the rejection of God and the elevation of man. When you remove the Creator from the conversation, you don't get freedom. You get a new set of gods — smaller, weaker, more corrupt gods who happen to have Harvard degrees and billion-dollar foundations. Gods who funded a pedophile's race science. Gods who told you to lock down your church but keep the liquor stores open. Gods who will redesign your child's body and call it healthcare.
The left doesn't just lean away from God. It runs. Because everything they want to build requires that He not be in the room. You cannot play God if God is already there.
But He is there. And we know it. That's why they can't silence us no matter how loud the barking dog gets. That's why Black Americans who hold to their faith, their families, and their common sense are the most dangerous people in this political equation. Because we see through it. We've always seen through it. We survived slavery, Jim Crow, redlining, crack, and mass incarceration — not because the government saved us, but because God carried us. And no amount of Epstein-funded science or Democrat-promised socialism is going to replace that.
The answer, more and more, is becoming painfully clear.
We are working for ourselves. And we are working with God. Because nobody else is.
