In today’s America, where common sense often seems in short supply, the Texas National Guard is taking a bold stand to uphold the standards our nation is built. This week, Texas took decisive action, pulling seven of its National Guardsmen from a deployment in Illinois. Why? Because they failed to meet mission requirements, Texas isn’t playing games when it comes to keeping America safe.
A photo of these guardsmen went viral, raising eyebrows and sparking an outcry over their levels of physical fitness. While the left dismisses concern about military readiness as paranoia, true patriots understand the importance of having a fit and disciplined force. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has bravely highlighted the need for tough standards, and Texas is leading by example, echoing his call for restoring the “warrior ethos” that has kept our country free for centuries.

Let’s be clear. The rest of the country could take a lesson from Texas. While liberals wail about supposed inclusivity and “everybody wins” attitudes, Texas knows that when it comes to defending freedom, excellence, and preparedness are non-negotiable. While the legal battles rage on—fueled by a desperate left bent on undermining national security—the Texas National Guard is standing its ground like the Alamo of old, ensuring our ICE facilities and federal properties remain secure.
Yet, it doesn’t stop at troops being sidelined. The situation in Illinois reveals the broader agenda to weaken our strong defenses under a globalist narrative. The move by the Trump administration to deploy these troops was simply ripped apart by leftist legal challenges. The mission is critical, but they’d rather have our brave men and women sit around than actively protect our nation. It’s an absurd testament to liberal priorities.
Ask yourself, do you want Guardsmen unfit for duty protecting your streets? Or do you want warriors ready to serve, enforcing our laws, and safeguarding our cherished freedoms? Whenever America loses sight of what truly matters, count on Texas to bring us back to the core values that made this country great. The real question is: when will the rest of the nation catch up?
