The Oklahoma Attorney General's office said Wednesday that Robert Preston Morris, the founder of Gateway Church, has been indicted on five counts of lewd or indecent acts to a child. In other news, Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson testified Wednesday before a U.S. Senate committee saying government can best address high housing costs by getting out of the private sector's way; Frisco is slated to get an upscale name in the grocery market. Whole Foods Market, founded in Austin, is set to join the city in the northern part of the Dallas-Fort Worth area. That store is slated to be in “The Mix,” a multibillion-dollar development that covers more than 100 acres at the southeast corner of Lebanon Road and Dallas Parkway; and The Factory in Deep Ellum is reverting to its roots — at least in name. The live music venue on Canton Street will again be known as the Bomb Factory. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

[SEGMENT 2-1] Democrats backing away from stupidity 3 Congratulations Americans, Patriots. Why am I congratulating you? Because YOU forced Democrats to regain part of their sanity. I'm not sure what step this is in the 12-step program, perhaps Step 12, but it's coming. I've NEVER seen an administration so decisive in its actions. The people being selected know their jobs. And they are already making an impact. The FBI is running scared. I saw that McCabe hates that Kash Patel has been picked to run the FBI. In any other Democratic circles, this pick would be heralded. An Indian running the FBI. He has to be the first, right? But no hoopla. And Vivek Ramaswamy co-chairing DOGE with Elon Musk. Another first for many reasons, but no hoopla over it.   And while we will soon feel the effects of the Trump economy first-hand and in a great way, the most impactful to date involves illegal immigration.[SEGMENT 2-2] Democrats backing away from stupidity 4   Remember when Johnston compared his city's commitment to protecting illegal immigrants to the iconic “Tank Man” moment during the Tiananmen Square protests? With zero irony, he boasted about deploying 50,000 angry soccer moms to protect migrants from deportation. “It's like the Tiananmen Square moment with the rose and the gun, right?” he gushed. This was the same guy who told federal immigration officials, “More than us having DPD stationed at the county line to keep them out, you'd have every one of those Highland moms who came out for the migrants.” His bravado didn't last long. President Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, responded with a mic drop: CNN's Kasie Hunt visibly stunned after playing a clip of Tom Homan saying he would gladly throw Denver Mayor Mike Johnston in jail for defying Trump's deportation operation. This is the best video you will watch all day. Homan: Me and the Denver mayor agree on one thing. He's… pic.twitter.com/ab4XMw5GrK — Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) November 28, 2024 “He's willing to go to jail. I'm willing to put him in jail.” Now that reality has set in, Johnston is singing a different tune. He's gone from "Come get me, Bro!" to "Don't taze me, Bro!" With Denver's resources drained and voters increasingly restless, the mayor's focus has shifted from grandstanding to damage control. Funny how that works. Now that Tom Homan has threatened to throw Democrat Denver Mayor Mike Johnston in prison, he says he ”regrets” making tough guy comments about having his police force stand against federal forces to stop mass deportations “I certainly did not mean to stoke fear on either side of… pic.twitter.com/tB2yfn8csM — Wall Street Apes (@WallStreetApes) November 29, 2024 REPORTER: It sounds like you're walking back the comments from a couple days ago saying that you would be willing to send Denver police officers. Do you regret making those comments and now getting questions like this? JOHNSTON: Yeah. REPORTER: Me asking you about that, and I'm sure Denver police officers are now going home to their families and saying, "Hey, I hear the mayor is telling you that you might be deployed to face off against federal forces." Do you regret making those comments?  JOHNSTON: Yeah. What I wanted people to understand was the scale of what could be coming if we take the president at his word, which is I don't think anyone envisioned U.S. military troops being deployed to American streets to gather up women and children.  [SEGMENT 2-3] Democrats backing away from stupidity 5 Give me your Leftist position and I will show you multiple Democrats who are backing away from Biden administration policies. It's almost as if Democrats were PRAYING for somebody to bring back sanity.   Talk about backtracking. But Johnston made the right decision. Because the Trump administration is serious about enforcing the laws. And if it means locking up a few hard asses, then so be it. Sanctuary cities like Denver operate in open defiance of federal immigration laws. The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA) of 1996 expressly prohibits policies that block local officials from cooperating with federal immigration enforcement. Despite this, Leftist mayors nationwide have flaunted sanctuary policies, betting that the Biden administration's Department of Justice would look the other way. But under Trump, that bet didn't pay off. His administration cracked down on sanctuary jurisdictions, threatening to withhold federal funding and enforce existing laws. This enforcement resonated with voters who saw sanctuary policies as a betrayal of their safety and sovereignty. Why Voters Backed Trump—and Why They'll Do It Again Trump's appeal in 2016 and beyond wasn't just about “building the wall.” It was about rejecting Leftist policies that prioritize illegal immigrants over American citizens. Sanctuary cities like Denver epitomize the broader Democratic Party's indifference to working-class Americans. When voters in Colorado and across the country see their tax dollars funding migrant shelters while their own communities crumble, it's no wonder they rally behind someone promising to put America first. Sanctuary City Spectacle: Comedy, Tragedy, or Both? The Democrats' immigration debacle is a tragicomedy of errors. Sanctuary policies like those in Denver don't just fail—they spectacularly implode, leaving taxpayers holding the bag. Johnston's flip-flop from “Tiananmen Square defender” to reluctant realist underscores the absurdity of it all. At the end of the day, Johnston and his ilk are a symptom of a larger problem: a political party more interested in virtue signaling than governance. Illegal immigration is not a crisis of compassion; it's a crisis of competence. And as long as Leftists continue to prioritize their progressive agenda over the rule of law, cities like Denver will remain stuck cleaning up the mess. Thankfully for Denverites, Coloradans, and all Americans, this nonsense is about to come to a necessary and hopefully final end.   Dallas Mayor changes to MAGA Admittedly I treat these flip-floppers with skepticism. It's easy to abandon something when you see that it's a loser. And the Democrats as a party are losers. Still, the fundamental principles should preclude a switch. Take me for example. I can't stand the Republican Party. But I have never abandoned them, for three reasons. One, the Democrats are f'g crazy. Two, Republicans freed the slaves. Three, as Trump proved, Republicans are redeemable. Perhaps that why Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson flipped as well. He left the Democratic Party last fall. And some say that Johnson's departure should have served as an early warning for Democrats. Early? Democrats should have seen this coming since 2016.     Many political pundits were stunned when President-elect Donald Trump led Republicans to sweeping wins earlier this month, breaking apart traditionally Democratic coalitions to clinch a second term and secure majorities in the House and Senate.  The red wave didn't shock Johnson, however, who said during a Fox and Friends appearance this week that “it turns out I was kind of a canary in the coal mine.” “I didn't think I was going to be some anomaly that everyone needed to worry about,” he said. “I thought that I was going to be a harbinger of things to come.” On Fox & Friends @Johnson4Dallas discussed how @GOP mayors across the country are excited to work with @realDonaldTrump to deliver on the promise of making our cities great again. pic.twitter.com/BsMaQuJbNg — Republican Mayors Association (@GOPMayorsAssn) November 20, 2024 Johnson governed one of the largest cities in the country as a Democrat for over four years before shocking colleagues by joining Trump's MAGA movement. Citing desires to use conservative principles to restore urban centers like his own back to glory, the mayor said that too often, Democratic policies “exacerbate homelessness, coddle criminals, and make it harder for ordinary people to make a living.” In the months leading up to the election, Trump received sharp criticism for saying Democrats had destroyed former manufacturing bastions and big cities like Detroit and Milwaukee.

   There's a lot of reasons Joe Biden is suddenly interested in building border walls in Texas as we predicted he would do.  Sure, there's criminals and terrorists and overcrowding and a million problems but the reason he's on it now is he wants votes.  Specifically, he's getting crushed on this issue with black voters who see all these illegals on their doorsteps and they aren't happy.  Hundreds rallied in Chicago to stop the illegals and it was quite a scene.     The Chair of the DNC is sounding alarm bells that a "rash" of Dems are switching parties including Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson.  Johnson, who is black, is explaining to his voters he switched because he wants the illegals out of Dallas and wants a bigger, better police force.  His voters love it.    Spotify's number one podcast is no longer Joe Rogan.  It's New Heights with the Kelce brothers.  Spotify also says it believes the pod is the number one in the world this week.  Amazing.    By playing the Vikings Sunday, Patrick Mahomes checks his last box and Lee Sterling from www.paramountsports.com joins us with his picks for the Chiefs, Mizzou, KU and KSU this weekend.

Computer services pioneer, Navy veteran, two-time presidential candidate and philanthropist Ross Perot has died after a five-month battle with Leukemia. He was 89 years old. “We have lost a true Dallas Icon,” Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson tweeted. “Ross Perot was a veteran, successful businessman, and philanthropist who spent his life working hard to make our city, state and country better. My thoughts and prayers are with the Perot family during this difficult time.” A legendary business career began in Dallas in 1957 when Perot joined IBM as a computer salesman. Between exceeding expectations and having larger ambitions, he left the company in 1962 to venture out on his own. Perot became a multimillionaire after taking his company, Electronic Data Systems Corp. (EDS), public in 1968 just six years after its founding. He later became a billionaire when the company was acquired by General Motors Corp. (GM) for $2.5 billion in 1984. The partnership was short-lived, however. After just two years, GM purchased Perot's shares back for $700 million, according to the New York Times, and he cut ties with the automaker. Perot soon after went on to found Perot Systems Corp. in 1988, which also went on to become a billion-dollar enterprise. It was acquired by fellow Texas-based company Dell Inc. in 2009 for $3.9 billion. More than the money he brought in during his career, Perot may be better known for the amount he gave back. According to the Dallas Morning News, the Perot Foundation was responsible for approximately $90 million in donations to the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. His family also donated another $50 million to fund the Perot Museum of Nature and Science in downtown Dallas, built in 2008. Perot also spent much of his later years ensuring American military veterans received proper healthcare. He himself served in the armed services after graduating from the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland in 1953. His service to the United States was far from over upon his retirement from the Navy. Perot left a major impact on American politics as a third-party candidate in 1992 and again in 1996. He received close to 20 percent of the popular vote in his first run, easily the most by a third-party ticket since Theodore Roosevelt ran as a member of the Bull Moose party in 1912. Perot is survived by his wife Margot; his sister Bette; his son and four daughters and their spouses; 16 grandchildren and three step grandchildren.
