John Cornyn: 21st Century is “the Indian Century”
The sitting Senator from Texas recently tweeted, and then deleted, a rather curious slogan.
“Welcome to the Indian Century.”
- John Cornyn, US Senator, Texas
There is no denying it is, at the very least, the Indian decade.
Tried to buy a house recently?
Ok, but could this potentially lower home prices?
Hear me out on this.
“Muslims Only” Learing Center Lady gives INTERVIEW
Sara Gonzales did not miss. She got the organizer behind the infamous “Muslims Only” city park event to agree to go on camera, then asked the question everyone was waiting for: how ‘bout a whites only party tho?
She asked several times. Amazing. All she had to do was say “yeah, I think that would be ok. It should be a free country.” Instead, she gave an overview on critical race theory, and said it’s ok for them to exclude others because of “how they feel.”
Less than two minutes in, the guest appeared to suggest that water park employees helped set in motion what she described as their second “Muslims-only” city park party.
Halfway through the interview, she asks Sara who she is talking to. The answer was Sara Gonzales, the top Gonzo influencer in Texas.
Houston ex-HOA Lady Allegedly Gets Uppity, Uses HOA Cash on Doordash
Houston always seems to have a story ready for us to write up. Ex-HOA general manager Shiesha Sparrow was arrested on accusations of stealing more than $50,000 in HOA funds for things ranging from DoorDash to Cash App.

The money homeowners paid to improve their neighborhood ended up in the pocket of a thief, according to court documents.
Harris County Constable Precinct 4 deputies said Sheisha Sparrow is now charged with the third-degree felony of theft.
Deputies said their investigation began on Sept. 28, when they responded to a theft report from the president of the Lakewood Forest Homeowners’ Association.
However, prosecutors said they learned the theft started well before that.
Court documents allege that Sparrow, the former Lakewood Forest HOA manager, started stealing during her employment from April 2024 through September 2025.
Court records show that in September, the new general manager found a binder containing unopened bank statements and later learned that the company’s credit card had been used for personal expenses without authorization.
Documents show that those include Amazon, Cash App, DoorDash, Gexa Energy, and T-Mobile transactions totaling $53,630.77.
The HOA said they do not use Gexa Energy or provide a cellular device, according to court records.
Investigators said they subpoenaed the other companies and found that the defendant was the account holder for all accounts with unauthorized transactions.
The Precinct 4 constable’s office said Sparrow was booked into the Harris County Jail, but is currently out on a $20,000 bond.
Well sheesh Sheisha. Remember folks, when your HOA fines you for the grass being 0.0000001 inches too high, or having a lawn gnome, there’s a chance your fine money went to something like the aforementioned. With HOAs and “local control” likely to be a debate topic next legislative session, situations like these don’t help HOA credibility.
Rep. Van DIME Spearheading Anti-H1B Efforts in Congress
Mighty fine Texas Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne, alongside firebrand Rep. Brandon Gill, is now leading the congressional charge against the Indian invasion of Texas.

U.S. Rep. Beth Van Duyne, R-TX, and her north Texas colleagues have called for a federal investigation into alleged H-1B visa fraud occurring in counties they represent.
Similar to the alleged Somali welfare fraud in Minnesota and hospice fraud in Los Angeles, Van Duyne argues north Texas is grappling with an H-1B visa fraud problem involving Indian nationals concentrated in her Dallas-Fort Worth district in Collin, Dallas, Denton and Tarrant counties.
“H-1B visa abuse is an affront to our country, it harms American workers, depresses wages, leaves graduating university students without job prospects in their area of study, and it must be stamped out for economic and national security reasons,” she said.
She and Republican U.S. Reps. Ronny Jackson, Brandon Gill and Pat Fallon, who also represent the region, sent a letter to the vice president and secretaries of the departments of State, Labor and Homeland Security, urging them to investigate.
Alleged visa abuse in North Texas, “a major economic hub for our nation – raises additional concerns about localized exploitation of the system,” the letter states. “When bad actors are able to manipulate visa pathways at scale, it distorts local labor markets, suppresses wages, and erodes trust in lawful immigration processes.
“Beyond economic impacts, there are also broader compliance and security considerations. Fraudulent use of employment-based visas may indicate systemic weaknesses in interagency coordination, verification mechanisms, and oversight of sponsoring employers. Ensuring that individuals entering the United States through legal channels are properly vetted and placed in legitimate employment is essential to maintaining both economic integrity and national security.”
While a “strongly worded letter” approach may be laughable, it’s actually the most Congress has done about this issue in a while. Granted, she may be feeling more pressure on the issue than previously, thanks to the work of citizen journalists exposing H1B frauds in North Texas. The most notable of these was Tyler Oliveria’s expose featuring locations in Frisco, Northlake, and Argyle:
