🚨 FEDERAL COURT UPHOLDS TEXAS BAN ON CHINESE LAND OWNERSHIP

A federal court just DISMISSED the challenge to Texas’ new law blocking citizens of foreign adversaries from buying up our land.

This is the toughest ban in America — and it just survived its first legal attack. 🧵👇 Image
2/ The law (SB 17), signed by Gov. Greg Abbott, bans property ownership by nationals of:

🇨🇳 China
🇮🇷 Iran
🇷🇺 Russia
🇰🇵 North Korea

That includes farmland, homes, commercial properties, water rights, and mineral resources. Image
3/ Two Chinese students on visas sued Texas AG Ken Paxton, claiming the law was “discriminatory.”

The judge tossed their case. Why?

Because the law only applies to non-domiciled foreign nationals — NOT legal residents.

Of course Democrats make no distinction. Image
4/ @KenPaxtonTX:

“There is no state interest in preventing persons who are legally living in Texas as their true home from purchasing or leasing real estate. These persons are no threat… They are welcome to settle here.”

The law targets CCP influence, not legal immigrants. Image
@KenPaxtonTX 5/ Gov. Abbott:

“This is the toughest ban in America on preventing the sale of our land to individuals and companies from China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia.”

And the danger is very real, as CCP agents buy up land near U.S. military bases.

@KenPaxtonTX 6/ Texas isn’t alone.

📊 A congressional report shows 22 states have passed similar bans.
🇺🇸 Sen. Josh Hawley & Rep. Mary Miller are pushing to take this nationwide.

We might as well have the Japanese buying land next to Pearl Harbor in 1941.

@KenPaxtonTX 7/ The court’s ruling is a HUGE win.

✅ Texas law upheld
✅ CCP land grab blocked
✅ States leading the fight to defend America’s sovereignty

It's time we take sensible steps that Democrats refused to take to protect America, and Americans. Image

🚨 AMERICAN MANUFACTURING BOOM 🚨

Trump’s America First agenda is WORKING:

👉 U.S. manufacturing just hit a 3-year high
👉 Demand is soaring at home & abroad
👉 Hiring is surging

The former Rust Belt is roaring back. Here’s what you need to know 🧵 Image
2/ S&P Global reports:

📈 U.S. business activity = fastest pace in 3 years
📈 Factories showing “marked acceleration” in output
📈 Job creation at near-record levels

This isn’t a blip. It’s a trend.

pmi.spglobal.com/Public/Home/Pr…Image
3/ Companies are building inventory like crazy.

Why? Because they expect DEMAND to stay strong.

That’s confidence in the U.S. economy. It's also excitement about new U.S. access to foreign markets due to Trump's trade deals.

🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING: Appeals Court Tosses Trump’s $500 Million Civil Penalty in Business Fraud Case

TOTAL VICTORY

A New York appeals court just tossed the half-billion dollar fine against President Trump.

Why? Because it VIOLATED the CONSTITUTION.

🧵👇 Image
2/ The $500M fine wasn’t just outrageous.

The court ruled it was an “excessive fine” that broke the 8th Amendment.

Yes — Trump was being punished unconstitutionally.

But it gets even worse.... Image
3/ The fraud case was always a sham.

🔹 Banks said Trump paid on time (or early)
🔹 They did their OWN appraisals
🔹 They want to do business with him again

No victims. No fraud. Just abuse: an attempt by a Democrat prosecutor and judge to bankrupt a political opponent. Image

🚨 The Democrat Party is collapsing.

A bombshell new study shows Democrats are losing voter registrations in EVERY ONE of the 30 states that track party affiliation.

That’s a 4.5 million voter swing toward the GOP.

Here’s the scoop. 🧵👇 Image
2/ For the first time since...well, the last time Trump was President...more new voters chose to be Republicans than Democrats.

The shift is powered by President Trump’s surging support among:

• Men 💪
• Younger voters 📊
• Latinos 🇺🇸

rodmartin.org/p/losing-the-c…
3/ The numbers are brutal:

🔴 GOP gained 2.4 million registered voters
🔵 Democrats lost 2.1 million

That’s a net swing of 4.5 million voters!

🔥 FACT: In today’s America, many people can make MORE money by NOT working than by working.

And if you’re young? Good luck buying a home — the deck is stacked against you by design.

Here’s how America’s inequality crisis is BUILT by Democrat policies 🧵 Image
2/ Former Sen. Phil Gramm’s The Myth of American Inequality uncovers shocking math:

Once you factor in government benefits, the lowest income group makes almost the same as the next group up.

Translation: The system PUNISHES the working poor.

amazon.com/Myth-American-…
3/ Example:

• Bottom quintile: $4,900 earned income
• Next quintile: $30,900 earned income

But after benefits & taxes?

• Bottom jumps to $49,600
• Next quintile: $53,900

So why work when the “non-work bonus” is almost the same? Image

🚨 JUST IN: Nebraska is opening the “Cornhusker Clink” — a new detention center for illegal immigrants.

Gov. Jim Pillen says it will keep Nebraskans safe while helping Trump’s mass deportation push.

The border crisis is finally being tackled head-on. 🧵👇 Image
2/ The facility will be built in McCook, Nebraska — a small prairie town near the Kansas border.

It will serve as a regional hub to house illegals from multiple states awaiting deportation.

It matters: lack of detention space is the bottleneck preventing mass deportations. Image
3/ This is the latest in a trend. Florida started it. Now we have:

🐊 Alligator Alcatraz - FL
🐊 Deportation Depot - FL
🏁 Speedway Slammer - IN
🌽 Cornhusker Clink - NE

Arrest them, process them (you know, "due process"), fly them home!
