Greg Abbott still has power in Texas and Lara Logan just put Galveston County on his desk. Ken Paxton beat James Talarico in Galveston County, and the official numbers are not a rumor. Paxton took 52 percent there, 69,943 votes, and Talarico took 46.1 percent, 62,051 votes, with Ted Brown picking up 1.9 percent, and every precinct is already in, about 134,598 ballots counted. Galveston voted Republican at the top of the ticket while they told you Talarico took the state at about 55 to 43. You want me to look at that and call it a mood swing? How does a county that just handed Paxton a clean win get swallowed by a statewide story where he supposedly got crushed? Now keep in mind what Lara actually asked, because she did not hide it. Texans are looking at Governor Abbott and Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick to hear them and to do a statewide audit… not a risk limiting audit that only counts a fraction of the votes, but a real 100 percent audit that includes the cast vote records and verification of citizenship. I read that and I thought, why is this even a fight if the county already published the count? If Galveston is sitting there in the open and it does not match the story they sold you about the whole state, you open the books. You do not sample a sliver, pat yourself on the back, and tell everybody else to go home. And yet the people who still hold power can wait you out… they can call you crazy, they can say the canvass will handle it, they can bury what makes them uncomfortable and hope you get tired. Lara asked the question they hate. If the leaders still in power do not do the right thing, if they ignore what is blatantly obvious and once again bury the fraud, then are we supposed to understand that they have been bought off? Why else would you cower when your entire state and the Republic is at stake? You have a choice, Greg Abbott, and you have one too, Dan Patrick. Order the real statewide audit with the cast vote records and the citizenship checks, or tell every Texan watching Galveston that their own eyes do not count. James Talarico does not get a U.S. Senate seat handed to him while a county like that is sitting on the table unanswered. Greg Abbott, Dan Patrick, do the 100 percent audit. Cast vote records. Citizenship. The whole state. No fraction, no sample, no burying it. Pray, Stand, Speak, ACT. Love, What all of you good people are thinking

Now they find the gas pedal? Marsha Blackburn says the Senate GOP is ready to ram the agenda through before the Democrats take over… judges, US Marshals, a third reconciliation bill, and they only need 50 votes. Read that again and ask yourself one simple question. If you only needed 50 votes the whole time, what exactly were you doing with the majority we handed you? We knocked doors, we gave money we did not have, we stood in the cold and watched good people get smeared and dragged through courtrooms for asking honest questions, and these guys sat on their hands while judges waited and nominees sat in a drawer and the people who sent them to Washington were told to be patient, trust the process, wait for the right moment. Now the clock is running out on them and suddenly there is a fire under every chair in the cloakroom… funny how that works. Here is the reality. Urgency in that building only shows up when their own seats are on the line, never when yours are. They do not move because the country needs it, they move when the cameras are rolling and the donors are nervous and the clock starts ticking on their majority. That is not leadership, it is panic dressed up as courage, and you can smell it from Denver. And yet I will say this plainly… if they are going to do it, then do it. All of it. Confirm every judge, every Marshal, pass the bill, and do not come back to us with one more excuse about the parliamentarian or decorum or the usual handful of names who always seem to find a reason to vote no at the last minute. You do not get a medal for showing up to work in the final weeks of the job. You get judged on whether you finished it. How many months did we lose? How many seats on the bench could have been filled while the cool kids club held cocktail parties and told us it was complicated? Think I am wrong? Show me the votes they took when it actually mattered. @realDonaldTrump, hold every one of them to it, Mr President. Fifty votes, no excuses, no more delay, and names on the record for anyone who flinches. Pray, Stand, Speak, ACT.
