Senator Tan Parker Demands Action by DFW Airport Police Over Rideshare Racketeering Operation by Immigrants
After Dallas Express exposed an alleged rideshare racketeering operation happening at DFW Airport, Senator Tan Parker questioned the DFW Airport Police on their current efforts to investigate the issue:
In the video above, DFW Airport Police confirm there is an active investigation underway but that they’ve received no “complaint.” Sen. Parker directs the police to immediately investigate the issue regardless of whether they’ve received a complaint or not.
Sen. Parker then offers his support for anything the police need to do in order to investigate the rideshare issue.
Dallas Express reported the alleged racketeering option which included a large group of immigrants, some possibly illegal, using multiple tablets, phones, with obscured license plates, in order to game the Uber rideshare app to provide them ride requests, even when they weren’t technically within the area, in order to receive the requests.

Talarico Spotted in NYC with Lib Activist and Mamdami Fundraiser
Senate Democrat nominee was spotted (with girlfriend) in NYC with Socialist-connected activist Karin Schall and NYC Mayor Mamdani fundraiser Alexis Bittar.
Bittar, who fundraised for NYC Socialist Mayor Mamdani, was appointed by Mamdani to be on a Arts & Culture Transition Committee.
Talarico was also seen with leftist activist and Rise and Resist Member Karin Schall. Rise and Resist is a progressive organization with ties to Democratic Socialists of America.
Interestingly enough, Talarico’s girlfriend Brianna Menard, who Talarico claimed he’s trying to “protect her…from the impacts of this race.” was also seen at the event posing for pictures.
NYC is a great place to fundraise if you’re a Democrat!
Don’t Sharia Our Texas (Except Austin, Thursdays, 3 to 4 P.M.)
The Republican Party of Texas has an official priority for 2027 called “Don’t Sharia Our Texas,” declaring Sharia a “seditious, subversive, competing enemy system” deserving “criminal punishment, denaturalization, and deportation.”
Tough words.. next session. I’m sure of it.
Meanwhile, in the state’s capital city, this Thursday, 3 to 4 p.m.:
That’s the City of Austin’s Office of Equity and Inclusion hosting “Stop Muslim Hate” “bystander training”(lol) “in partnership with CAIR-Austin,” built on “real case reports received by CAIR-Austin.”
CAIR. The organization Governor Abbott designated a “foreign terrorist organization” and transnational criminal organization last November based on literally nothing real (as far as I can tell.) Nine months later, CAIR’s chapter is co-branded on a city government flyer, teaching a class in a city facility, slotted between Austin’s other scheduled hate sessions (Jewish, Black, Asian, each with its own time window, like yoga).
The state that swears it will criminalize all of this next session cannot currently stop one city from co-hosting with it on a Thursday afternoon.
This made me remember in 2023 how, Abbott promised to sign a ban on Chinese land purchases. “I will sign it.”
At the time, many other Republicans touted this bill, SB147, while it was moving through the legislature. This week it was revealed that visa holders bought more Texas homes than ever last year, with Chinese and Indian buyers setting records.
So voters saw all these headlines and assumed something was being done.
No. Nothing is being done! There is no talk of reimmigration, only fantastical promises that Republicans will somehow ban parts of the Islamic religion.
Y’all, its the same old trick. We are being scammed.
Politicians will "politicianize". They will sell their mothers, their wheelchairs and even their mistresses for campaign money. None care for you or me, just their power and their pockets. We were known as The Lone Star state, soon we will be called Big Mumbai (Bombay for the non-wokes)
SB147 never passed the legislature. Texans-those that bother to vote-need to stop electing RINOs and start paying attention to get the right people in office that will pass bills like SB147.
