“There’s a reason why you separate military and police. One fights the enemy of the State. The other serves and protects the People. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the State tend to become the People.” ~ Commander Adama, “Battlestar Galactica” (“WATER”, Season 1 episode 2, at the 28 minute mark.)

“… In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.

The first is freedom of speech and expression …

The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way …

The third is freedom from want …

The fourth is freedom from fear …”

Welcome to Thinkwing Radio with Mike Honig on KPFT Houston at 90.1-HD2, Galveston 89.5-HD2, and Huntsville 91.9-HD2. KPFT is Houston’s Community radio.

And welcome to our international listeners from Hong Kong, Germany, South Korea and elsewhere.

On this show, we discuss local, state, national, and international stories that may have slipped under your radar. At my website, THINKWINGRADIO-dot-COM, I link to all the articles I read and cite, as well as other relevant sources. I try to fact-check myself and include the links I use to do so. Articles and commentaries often include lots of internet links for those of you who want to dig deeper.

It’s the 33rd week of Trump’s military occupation of Washington DC; and 22 weeks since those states’ governors deployed National Guard troops to Memphis, Tennessee and New Orleans, Louisiana, at Trump’s request, which is where they remain for now.  

While the next gubernatorial election in Louisiana is in 2027, the next gubernatorial election in Tennessee is in under 8 months. I really want to see how that one turns out.

I’m providing a link in this show post at ThinkwingRadio-dot-com to a USA Today story that explains the current state of the occupations.

Due to time constraints, some stories may be longer in this show post than in the broadcast show itself.

2. Last week, I read a story, and referenced another story from my December 28^th show, about the impact that immigration enforcement is having on the Texas housing market specifically, and the national market generally.
   1. MIKE: I have a long-time friend by the name of Brad Stevens. He’s the president of Stevens Vita Equity Partners and is a real estate broker and builder in the greater Houston area.
   2. MIKE: I really wanted his take on these stories as someone who will have had firsthand experience with them, but I wasn’t able to get a statement from him in time to put it on last week’s show. I now have remarks from him and would like to play them for you as part of continuing education about the housing market. [PLAY BRAD’S AUDIO: 5m 55s]
   3. [Approximate transcript] Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this! 
   4. I have a view that might be more comprehensive than your typical Realtor or Builder since I can view and experience real estate market trends from both perspectives. The housing market is in a strangely unique place since we have economic arms pulling the housing market in different directions, making it extremely hard for the consumer to have any grain of confidence. 
   5. From an affordability standpoint, we have home prices continuing to put Buyers in discomfort for the most part with some markets temporarily hitting plateaus or coming slightly down. It’s not enough to put a smile on their face and say, “Honey, it’s time to buy!!”… or just tell themselves that. Current renters could stay in their current homes which they are leasing and pay less than what their mortgage would be if they bought that home, especially taking into consideration maintenance costs. And some still have the “preventative purchasing” mindset that we are going to revisit the glory days of mega-low dreamy rates that MANY of us are currently locked into and only will sell because of dramatic life changes – job, death, divorce, babies. Wake up, its not going to happen with inflation where it is. AND, if it did happen, these rates would make competition intense again, thus boosting home prices further upward. Rates are wonderful where they are at and bringing needed balance to the market. 
   6. Another factor that is preventing prospective Buyers from taking the leap is fiscal and home buyer education. We, as a society, listen to the headlines and dig no deeper. That headline today is what current rates are (too high in many minds) and that housing continues to be unaffordable. Not true!! 
   7. 1) There are down payment assistance programs that can be utilized EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT A FIRST TIME HOME BUYER!. 
   8. 2) New home builders have invested in bundled buy-downs for their Buyers. That means that you can obtain a fixed rate, with some builders, as low as 4.99% for the life of the loan and even lower for the first 2 years. New homes also have the lowest insurance costs and almost zero property upkeep/repair costs for many years as well as reduced energy costs. 
   9. 3) Look at different loan products such as ARMs in this market. You can always refinance and ARMs offer lucrative savings sometimes. 
   10. 4) Some mortgages, such as VA loans, can be assumed, and you need not be a Veteran to assume it!
   11. As to the impact of the changes we have experienced over the last year due to enforcement of the immigration laws and the possible illegal tariffs impacting the cost of housing … 
   12. Several of my crews have been negatively impacted – those which perform the non-licensed portion of construction. These are the roofing crews, tile installers, painters, framers and general laborers. The vast majority are not murderers, rapists or hardened criminals which are detained and sent away, but productive workers who had been here for years. My main roofer lost two workers from his crew of twelve after they were pulled over after leaving a gas station in the morning with their coffee. Not for any moving violation or crime were they pulled over. Such stories are taken to heart by other workers who then refuse to travel further from home for work, making building outside of major markets challenging. Enforcement has come to jobsites of my main sheetrock crew as well where they lost several workers. Numbers of these type of immigrants will likely not be known for years to come, or if ever. Their absence is felt though through the increased labor costs, for those who remain are in higher demand and when the demand is higher, the labor costs go up. Simple as that!
   13. Tariffs have had impacts, from what I have seen, mainly on metal costs which increases the cost greatly of electrical systems, HVAC and consumables such as metal framing connectors such as those from Simpson Strong-tie and even nails. With the current energy prices increasing due to the Mideast conflicts, costs will continue to go up and we will now see this with concrete thanks to this weighty material’s costs being very dependent upon the cost of fuel. 
   14. We don’t have American born labor to backfill these needed labor rolls, so we should not expect any kind of reprieve in pricing with housing, making the cost of homes still out of the reach of most American individuals and families right now. Realtors need to take a more proactive approach in educating the public outside of what is heard in the headlines. For those who want to own a home today and get out of the renting cycle, there is an additional cost to have that freedom compared to years and decades past. 
   15. MIKE: I want to take a moment to emphasize a point Brad made.
   16. MIKE: Every buyer wants a great interest rate. At the same time, people often joke that to a realtor, there’s no bad time to be in the home buying market.
   17. MIKE: In a sense, both things are true, and not contradictory or mutually exclusive. Low rates are great. But it’s also true that low rates lead to higher demand, which leads to higher asking and selling prices. That usually leads to more housing starts which can lead to lower prices as demand is quenched.
   18. MIKE: Most people buy homes to the limit of what they can afford, more or less. That doesn’t tend to change with prices or interest rates. So my sense has been that a home price is less important than how much monthly payment a buyer can afford.
   19. MIKE: In a weird way, buying when rates are high might lead to faster appreciation of a home when rates drop, and vice versa.
   20. MIKE: Real estate is an odd animal, and if you are ever in the market, it’s important that you shop for a realtor you feel you can trust to be fair and honest with you.
3. From COMMUNITYIMPACT-dot-COM — Harris Health gets green light to acquire portion of Hermann Park for hospital expansion; By Sarah Brager | COMMUNITYIMPACT.COM | 12:00 AM Mar 20, 2026 CDT. TAGS: Harris County, Ben Taub Hospital, Hermann Park, Harris Health,
   1. Following an hours-long March 19 public hearing, Harris County commissioners unanimously approved the acquisition of 8.9 acres of Hermann Park for the expansion of Ben Taub Hospital, one of only two adult Level I trauma facilities in the county.
   2. The long-awaited vote comes after months of contention about whether or not Harris Health — the county’s hospital system — should acquire the land by eminent domain, which grants local governments the legal power to use land for public use.
   3. … Commissioners authorized the condemnation March 19 after Harris Health officials confirmed that no “feasible alternative” exists for the $410 million expansion of Ben Taub’s campus.
   4. To comply with the Texas Parks & Wildlife Code, which establishes strict guidelines for the use of public parkland, Harris Health was required to explore other options for the project, such as vertical expansion of Ben Taub’s existing campus or relocation from the Texas Medical Center.
   5. Harris Health President and CEO Esmaeil Porsa said building a new facility connected to Ben Taub Hospital makes the most fiscal and operational sense for the county.
   6. [Porsa said,] “The only feasible and prudent way to achieve the expansion while continuing to provide Level I trauma services is to connect the future expansion facility to Ben Taub. … This connection will provide patients with access to the entire range of specialties and expertise that is available at the Level I trauma hospital.”
   7. Additionally, he said Harris Health entered a memorandum of understanding with Hermann Park Conservancy to ensure park elements would be preserved and incorporated into the new facility. Cara Lambright, president and CEO of the conservancy, voiced support for the project given the agreement with Harris Health.
   8. [Lambright said,] “After extensive study and discussion, our board is convinced there is no viable alternative that both expands access to health care and protects Hermann Park.”
   9. … Ben Taub Hospital consistently operates beyond its 402-bed capacity, and officials expect emergency room demand to increase over the next several years as Harris County’s population grows, Community Impact previously reported. Porsa said the hospital’s ER regularly suffers from hours-long wait times due to chronic backlogs.
   10. Funded by a $2.5 billion voter-approved bond, the project will add approximately 100 new patient rooms and expand surgical capabilities at Ben Taub’s campus. Harris Health officials called the plan “critical” for maintaining the hospital’s Level I trauma designation.
   11. The Harris Health bond referendum, which allocated $410 million specifically to the Ben Taub project, received overwhelming support from voters in 2023. However, the expansion sparked some backlash after Harris Health in late September announced plans to build the new patient tower on three parcels of Hermann Park known as the Warneke Tract.
   12. Porsa said Harris Health has since participated in approximately 150 community events, including 15 town halls, to address questions and concerns about the project.
   13. … Nearly 50 community members participated in the March 19 public hearing for the proposed expansion, most of whom expressed support for the project.
   14. Several health care providers from the Harris Health system and other hospitals in the Texas Medical Center said Ben Taub plays a critical role in treating low-income and uninsured residents, calling the expansion necessary for meeting local health care demands.
   15. [Dr. Sandeep Markan from Baylor College of Medicine said during the hearing,] “This is not just about beds or buildings. This really is about our people. … People who are in the greatest of needs — a mother in pain, a father hoping for a bed or a patient who cannot wait.”
   16. Many community members also shared their first-hand experiences as Ben Taub patients, confirming accounts of overcrowding and long waits.
   17. [Said Rachel Cevallos De Gonzales, who said she received cancer treatment at Ben Taub when she lacked adequate insurance coverage,] “When you see the images of patients lining the hallways, please understand that was once me. … The expansion means that the next person receiving life-changing news will be met with compassion, dignity and the capacity for proper care.”
   18. On the other hand, some residents weren’t satisfied with Harris Health’s consideration of alternative options. Additionally, several who opposed the parkland acquisition expressed concern with Ben Taub’s plans to expand into a 100-year floodplain, as shown in the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s draft flood maps released Feb. 2.
   19. Bridget Lois Jensen, a community member who spoke against the condemnation, said she’d rather see the hospital built in another area of the county. Harris Health’s other hospital, the Lyndon B. Johnson facility, is located in northeast Houston.
   20. [She said,] “This is going to put all the hospitals for Harris Health in only two locations. … That can hardly be set to serve all the people of Harris County.”
   21. … Harris Health Chief Operating Officer Louis Smith told commissioners during the March 19 meeting that construction in the floodplain is permitted, provided the system complies with all regulations and obtains the proper permits. He said the new facility will be elevated based on FEMA’s data and include all required stormwater mitigation features.
   22. [Smith told the court,] “The Texas hospital licensing rules allow an existing hospital to expand into a 100-year floodplain if the facility and access to the facility are above the flood zone after construction is complete.”
   23. The hospital’s Level I trauma status is also tied to its physical location, and achieving the designation in a new location would require “significant time and financial resources,” Smith said.
   24. Additionally, Porsa said Harris Health will eventually be able to address needed improvements in Ben Taub’s existing facility once the new tower opens, as the hospital could temporarily relocate services to the new space.
   25. … Harris Health will move forward with the condemnation process following Commissioners Court’s authorization, but officials said it could be six to nine months before the system has official possession of the land.
   26. Porsa said the project is still expected to be completed within 10-12 years, as previously communicated to the public. In a 26 presentation to Commissioners Court, officials said Harris Health is on track to break ground on the expansion by late 2027.
   27. [Said Madeline Meloy, a resident physician at Ben Taub,] “The reality is that this tract of land is not currently acting as a public good, but it has the potential to offer so much to our community as part of Ben Taub.”
   28. MIKE: The story includes an image of the area around Ben Taub and showing the parcel in question in relation to the hospital.
   29. MIKE: I think that I’ve heard about overcrowding and capacity issues at Ben Taub almost as long as I’ve lived in Houston, so I’m sure that this is an essential step forward. It certainly isn’t going to improve things overnight as they’re talking about a 10-12 year time frame, but it has to start somewhere.
   30. MIKE: Bridget Lois Jensen’s comment about this decision leaving all the Harris Health hospitals in only two locations really resonated with me. Harris County is enormous, and travel times can be long, especially in periods of high traffic.
   31. MIKE: While I’ve heard of LBJ Hospital, I had no clear idea of exactly where it was, so I looked it up. It’s near the northeast corner of Loop 610, just east of Lockwood Drive. At least in my opinion, not being located in the Medical Center near the south side of the Loop, and given its access by I-45 and I-69/US-59 to the 610 North Loop, I think that LBJ Hospital is reasonably accessible to that side of the county.
   32. MIKE: It’s also important to note that Harris Health has the Sunset Heights Clinic not far from I-45 and West Cavalcade, which appears to be an urgent care clinic for minor injuries and illnesses, as well as locations “offering an array of primary care, specialty care and acute care to all residents of Harris County.” These locations are mainly inside and near the 610 loop, but there are also locations as far northeast as Humble, as far east as Baytown, as far south as the South Belt, as far west as Katy, and as far northwest as Cypress.
   33. MIKE: If you want to know more about the Harris Health system, its locations, and the services it provides, I’ve included links in my comments in today’s show post at ThinkwingRadio-dot-com.
4. Regarding this next story, I discussed these Texas school voucher lawsuits on the show last week. This is a follow-up from the Texas Tribune — Texas accepts some Islamic schools into voucher program after lawsuits; By Jaden Edison | TEXASTRIBUNE.ORG | March 2, 2026, 4:30 p.m. Central/March 19, 2026, 5:36 p.m. Central. TAGS: Islamic Private School Providers, Texas Comptroller, Texas School Voucher Program, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, Acting Comptroller Kelly Hancock, Education Commissioner Mike Morath,
   1. The Texas comptroller has accepted several Islamic private schools into the state’s voucher program after the institutions sued to gain admittance.
   2. Four Muslim parents and three Islamic private school providers that operate four campuses had sued Texas leaders for excluding the schools while accepting hundreds of other non-Islamic schools.
   3. The two federal lawsuits asked the court to block the private school voucher program from discriminating on the basis of religion. As part of the dispute, U.S. District Judge Alfred Bennett has extended the voucher application deadline to March 31 and ordered the state to consider the schools’ request to join the voucher program. The next hearing is set for April 24.
   4. The first lawsuit, filed March 1 by a parent acting on behalf of two children who attend a Houston private school, names Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, Acting Comptroller Kelly Hancock and Education Commissioner Mike Morath as defendants. A second suit filed March 11 by three parents and three schools names Hancock and Mary Katherine Stout, the voucher program director, as defendants. The two cases are now consolidated into one.
   5. Here’s what to know.
   6. … Greg Abbott signed Senate Bill 2 into law in 2025, which authorized the creation of a statewide program that allows families to use public funds to pay for their children’s private school or home-school education.
   7. Between Feb. 4 and March 31, virtually any family with school-age children in Texas can apply to participate. A lottery will determine who can receive the funds, pending their acceptance to a private school. Private schools interested in joining the program can apply on a rolling basis, as long as they have existed for at least two years and received accreditation.
   8. More than 200,000 students have applied, while more than 2,200 private schools have been accepted.
   9. [In late 2025, Comptroller] Hancock — Texas’ chief financial officer whose office oversees the voucher program — … requested an opinion from Paxton, asking if he could exclude schools from the voucher program based on their connections to groups designated as foreign terrorist organizations or foreign adversaries.
   10. Hancock said schools associated with the accreditation company Cognia had hosted events organized by the Council on American-Islamic Relations [CAIR], a Muslim civil rights group that Gov. Greg Abbott recently designated a terrorist organization. CAIR has sued Abbott over the label, calling it defamatory and false. The U.S. State Department has not designated the organization a terrorist group.
   11. Texas Republicans have made anti-Muslim rhetoric a focal point during primary election season. Hancock, appointed by the governor on an interim basis, ran to serve a full term as comptroller before losing his race.
   12. Hancock shut hundreds of Cognia-accredited schools out of the voucher program, including those that primarily serve Muslim students, Christian students, and children with disabilities, which the Houston Chronicle first reported.
   13. Paxton released an opinion in January stating his belief that Hancock has the authority to block certain schools from participating in the program if they are “illegally tied to terrorists or foreign adversaries.” Before the lawsuit, no Islamic schools were known to have been accepted into the state voucher program.
   14. The comptroller’s office said it began inviting groups of Cognia schools that it considers in compliance with the law to participate, though it is unclear what that review entails. The Cognia schools accepted into the program did not include any Islamic institutions until after the federal court intervened.
   15. In mid-February, Texas Senate Democrats called on Hancock to administer the program in a manner “neutral, transparent and consistent with the law, and to immediately cease discriminatory and exclusionary practices that single out certain communities without lawful justification.”
   16. … Mehdi Cherkaoui, a Muslim father of two children and lawyer representing himself in the March 1 lawsuit, argued that state leaders “have systematically targeted Islamic schools for exclusion.”
   17. The Islamic schools blocked from joining the program meet the voucher program’s eligibility requirements and, [the lawsuit states,] “have no actual connection to terrorism or unlawful activity.” That includes Houston Qur’an Academy-Spring, a private school attended by Cherkaoui’s two children.
   18. Cherkaoui pays almost $18,000 per year in tuition for his children at the Houston private school and wants to apply for the nearly $10,500 per child in voucher funding to offset those costs, according to the lawsuit. But with Islamic schools blocked from participating in the program, the suit says, Cherkaoui cannot complete the application.
   19. [The lawsuit states,] “The exclusion is not based on individualized findings of unlawful conduct by any specific school, but rather on categorical presumptions that Islamic schools are suspect and potentially linked to terrorism by virtue of their religious identity and community associations.”
   20. The lawsuit names [Comptroller] Hancock because of his role overseeing the program; [Attorney General] Paxton because of his legal opinion backing Hancock; and Texas Education Commissioner Morath] because his agency works with the comptroller’s office on certain program conditions.
   21. Morath does not oversee private schools in Texas, but schools in the voucher program must receive accreditation from organizations recognized by his agency, or the Texas Private School Accreditation Commission.
   22. Before the voucher program’s original March 17 deadline for family applications, the lawsuit asked that the court require the state to accept all Islamic schools that meet program requirements and prevent the state from delaying or denying approval based on schools’ religious identity, alleged “Islamic ties,” or “generalized associations with Islamic civil-rights or community organizations absent individualized, adjudicated findings of unlawful conduct.”
   23. The second lawsuit, filed March 11, makes similar requests. The suit was filed by Bayaan Academy, the Islamic Services Foundation ([and their] Little Horizons Academy and Brighter Horizons Academy), and The Eagle Institute (Excellence Academy), which operate private schools in Galveston, Dallas and Collin counties, respectively. Three parents also listed as plaintiffs — Layla Daoudi, Muna Hamadah and Farhana Querishi — have children currently enrolled in private schools that are part of the lawsuit.
   24. Hancock, Paxton and Morath did not respond to requests for comment.
   25. … In court filings, Paxton’s office argued that because families who apply for the voucher program do not have to select a school until July 15, they are not harmed by the exclusion of Islamic schools.
   26. Paxton’s office also said the comptroller’s office has not “denied” any private schools from participating until the July 15 deadline passes. Cognia-accredited schools require independent review, the state argued, due to the company “erroneously” listing schools as accredited without completing final steps. The Islamic schools suing the state are accredited by Cognia, the lawyers noted.
   27. [Paxton’s legal filing said that] The schools’ “injuries will only manifest if the Comptroller denies their respective applications or otherwise fails to determine eligibility by July 15.”
   28. The state also argued “it would be fundamentally unfair” to extend the application deadline and “disrupt” the educational plans of hundreds of thousands of parents.
   29. [The State’s lawyers wrote,] “It is noteworthy that, as the day turns over to 12:00 a.m. on Wednesday, March 18, neither Parent Plaintiffs nor School Plaintiffs will suddenly begin to experience harm. … The Parent Plaintiffs will all still be eligible for the lottery and be able to direct funds to an approved school of their choice at a later date if they are selected in the lottery. School Plaintiffs will still presumably be under review by the Comptroller.”
   30. [Regarding] The court ruling and its aftermath: A March 17 order from U.S. District Judge Alfred Bennett prevents the state from considering which families will receive school voucher funding until after the order expires March 31, though Bennett could extend it.
   31. It also requires the state to update its voucher application website to reflect the new deadline and provide the schools that filed the lawsuit an opportunity to register for the program. It does not require the state to add them to the list of approved schools. 
   32. The comptroller’s office said March 19 that it accepted [schools] into the program … that sued, and that of a parent named in the lawsuit.
   33. [Comptroller spokesperson Travis Pillow said,] “The ongoing process to review and add more schools is also continuing.”
   34. MIKE: The fact that the State has suddenly accepted three schools into the program since the lawsuits were filed is a sign that the State’s stance on this is issue is a lot of baloney.
   35. MIKE: This is the State of Texas using your tax dollars in an attempt to use the courts to discriminate against Islamic religious schools for no other reason, really, other than the self-described Christians in our government don’t like Islam or Muslims.
   36. MIKE: This is also the State of Texas deliberately and vindictively causing these schools and these parents to waste their hard-earned money and their valuable personal and professional time to defend themselves against the state’s apparent Islamophobia and its tendency to promote Christian supremacy.
   37. MIKE: Remember in November.
5. On an unrelated note, I wrote an email to the editors at Houston Public Media on Tuesday night regarding their story titled, “Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo attends Europe trade mission amid calls for her resignation over rodeo dustup”
   1. MIKE: In the middle of the story, they wrote this: “In a social media post on Monday, Harris County Commissioner Tom Ramsey called for Hidalgo’s resignation in response to the rodeo incident. In his own social media post, state Sen. Paul Bettencourt, a Houston Republican, last week called for Hidalgo’s resignation in response to the incident.”
   2. MIKE: “So yes,” I wrote, “two calls for her resignation are technically plural, but it’s buried halfway down the story that it’s only TWO calls, and they’re both from Republicans.
   3. MIKE: Given the headline, I think that the sentences I cited should have been in the first paragraph. And maybe the sentences should read, “In a social media post on Monday, Republican Harris County Commissioner Tom Ramsey called for Hidalgo’s resignation in response to the rodeo incident. In his own social media post, state Sen. Paul Bettencourt, a Houston Republican, last week called for the resignation of Hidalgo, a Democrat, in response to the incident.
   4. MIKE: “Don’t you agree?
   5. MIKE: “Words matter. Reputable media shape opinions and impressions. Please be more thoughtful of the impact of your words and headlines in the future.”
   6. MIKE: I’d appreciate if listeners let me know what you think of my email. Do you agree or disagree?
6. I’m just going to read a tiny piece of this article from TEXASTRIBUN-dot-.ORG because there were remarks that struck me as pretty important. I’ll explain why in my comments. — Chip Roy faces Mayes Middleton’s millions in Texas attorney general GOP runoff; by Eleanor Klibanoff | TEXASTRIBUNE.ORG | March 12, 2026, 11:22 a.m. Central. TAGS: Attorney General’s Office, Texas Attorney General, Mayes Middleton, US Rep. Chip Roy, GOP Primary Runoff,
   1. Three of the four Republicans running in last week’s attorney general primary had lengthy legal resumes and copious courtroom experience.
   2. Mayes Middleton, a state senator and CEO of his family’s oil and gas company, had none of that. What he did have, however, was $15 million in campaign cash, almost entirely out of his own pocket.
   3. That was enough to push him into first place on March 3, beating the early frontrunner, U.S. Rep. Chip Roy, by seven points. He didn’t clear 50%, so the two conservative warriors will face each other again in a May 26 runoff. …
   4. [Middleton said in a statement after the election,] “This runoff will offer a clear contrast between me, a lifelong conservative who has always stood with President Trump and our party, versus D.C. insider Chip Roy, who sided with Liz Cheney and called for Trump’s impeachment. … Texas Republicans deserve a proven, consistent ally who will stand with President Trump, not work against him.” …
   5. Middleton flooded the airwaves with more than $11 million in TV ads, touting himself as “MAGA Mayes” and attacking Roy for showing insufficient fealty to Trump. He sent mailers and text messages and stumped the state, showing up at every county party event he was invited to. …
   6. Roy has pitched himself as an attorney general whose adherence to the Constitution and conservative principles would protect Texas from federal encroachment, no matter who is in the White House. …
   7. While Middleton is a lawyer by training, and is registered with the State Bar of Texas, he has worked exclusively within his family company. That’s a contrast with Roy, who, before being elected to Congress in 2018, served as Attorney General Ken Paxton’s top deputy, helping him build the office after Paxton was first elected in 2014. Roy also worked under former Gov. Rick Perry and Sens. John Cornyn and Ted Cruz. …
   8. MIKE: The first thing about that comment that grabbed my attention was this: “[Middleton said in a statement after the election,] “This runoff will offer a clear contrast between me, a lifelong conservative who has always stood with President Trump and our party, versus D.C. insider Chip Roy, who sided with Liz Cheney and called for Trump’s impeachment. … Texas Republicans deserve a proven, consistent ally who will stand with President Trump, not work against him.”
   9. MIKE: In other words, Chip Roy, whatever you may think of his political positions, at least has a sense of the rule of law, and has correctly observed and stated that Trump has violated the Constitution to the point that he is deserving of impeachment.
   10. MIKE: On the other hand, Middleton has taken a position on Trump equivalent to, My president, right or wrong, the law be damned.
   11. MIKE: Then, “… in TV ads, [Middleton is ] touting himself as “MAGA Mayes” and attacking Roy for showing insufficient fealty to Trump.
   12. MIKE: Again, Mayes Middleton is saying that whatever Trump does, Middleton supports him, regardless of Trumpian lawlessness.
   13. MIKE: On top of that, with his personal and family wealth, he’s trying to buy the Attorney General’s office just like any good oligarch would do.
   14. MIKE: I can’t endorse any candidates on this show, but if you’re voting in the Republican primary runoff, I think the choice is clear.

From KTHV11 in Little Rock Arkansas, I thought that this was an interesting story — Sarah Huckabee Sanders asked to leave from Little Rock restaurant | Here’s what we know; Author: Elizabeth Godinez | THV11.COM (KTHV11) | Published: 10:29 PM CDT March 18, 2026/Updated: 10:29 PM CDT March 18, 2026. TAGS: Little Rock, Arkansas, Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, The Croissanterie,
   1. A Little Rock restaurant has responded after the office of Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders said she was told to leave … the establishment.
   2. Sanders said on Friday, March 13, that she joined a group for lunch with two people at The Croissanterie and was accompanied by her State Police Executive Protection Detail, according to a statement provided by the governor’s office. 
   3. The Croissanterie explained in a written statement that when they were made aware of the governor’s presence inside the restaurant, they were “surprised and uncertain how best to respond.” They said that since she and her staff were already seated and eating, they chose not to interrupt.
   4. Sanders said that after being seated in the restaurant for over an hour and fifteen minutes and food already paid for, the owner of The Croissanterie approached a member of the protective detail and allegedly asked her to leave because [according to Sanders,] her presence was supposedly “making employees [feel] threatened and uncomfortable because of her political views.” 
   5. The Croissanterie denies any statements “indicating that anyone felt threatened.”
   6. Croissanterie staff say that as the presence of the governor and her security detail became more widely noticed by guests and employees alike, questions were raised about them remaining in the building. “As business owners and members of this community, we recognized that any course of action carried consequences.”
   7. In the restaurant’s statement, they said that allowing her to stay “risked being perceived as a lack of support for the community that makes up” their staff, but also asking Sanders and her team to leave “could be viewed as denying service based on differing beliefs.”
   8. About an hour into the visit, a staff member approached someone on the security detail and “asked to encourage” the governor to leave, “as she had finished dining,” according to the statement.
   9. Since the restaurant has a 90-minute table limit, the security detail was approached a second time and asked to leave roughly 10 minutes before that time limit.
   10. As they were leaving, the governor’s staff said that a man allegedly yelled, “it’s time to go,” and then proceeded to make a crude hand gesture in the governor’s direction. The Croissanterie would say that man was a customer and not an employee.
   11. [Sanders concluded her statement with,] “Arkansans are known for their warm hospitality, and while that restaurant certainly doesn’t meet that standard, my administration will continue to focus on lifting Arkansans up, not tearing others down with discrimination and hate.”
   12. [The Croissanterie said in their statement,] “We regret being placed in this position and having to make a difficult decision. … However, we stand by our choice to support our employees and guests.”
   13. Both the Sanders administration and The Croissanterie have released statements commenting on the incident. You can find them below:
   14. In response to the incident, Governor Sanders released the following statement: 
   15. “Last week, I was having lunch with two other moms at a restaurant when the owner approached a member of the State Police Executive Protection Detail and said my presence made their employees feel threatened and told us to leave. Arkansans are known for their warm hospitality, and while that restaurant certainly doesn’t meet that standard, my administration will continue to focus on lifting Arkansans up, not tearing others down with discrimination and hate.”
   16. The Croissanterie also released the following statement in response to the incident:
   17. “When we became aware that the governor had arrived at the restaurant announced, we were surprised and uncertain how best to respond. By the time we entered the dining room, she was already seated and eating. At that point, we chose not to interrupt, expecting that the party would complete their meal and depart without issue. 
   18. However, as the presence of her security detail became more widely noticed, by both employees and guests, questions were raised about them remaining in the restaurant. As business owners and members of this community, we recognized that any course of action carried consequences. Allowing her to stay risked being perceived as a lack of support for the community that makes up the majority of our team, as well as their families and friends. Conversely, asking her to leave could be viewed as denying service based on differing beliefs.
   19. Ultimately, we made the decision to support our employees and guests who expressed they were uncomfortable. To clarify, we do not recall any statements indicating that anyone felt threatened. 
   20. Approximately one hour into the visit, a member of the security detail was quietly approached and asked to encourage the governor to conclude her visit, as she had finished dining. Beverages were offered to the party for the road. Nearly 30 minutes later, the party remained on the premises. 
   21. As the 90-minute table seating limit approached, the security detail was approached a second time and informed that approximately 10 minutes remained. Around this time, another customer attempted to involve themselves in the situation and was asked to step away. 
   22. After reviewing camera footage, we confirmed that a member of the security detail did send a message to the governor following the initial request; however, it was not seen at that time. Once the message was received, she and her party departed without incident. 
   23. It is also important to note that many guests in the main dining room were unaware of the situation, and there was no applause or disruption as has been suggested. Additionally, the individual who made an inappropriate hand gesture was a customer – not an employee – and the matter has been addressed. 
   24. We regret being placed in this position and having to make a difficult decision. However, we stand by our choice to support our employees and guests.”
   25. MIKE: The objections publicly expressed by Gov. Huckabee Sanders are ironic to me coming from a staunch advocate of bakeries denying service to gay couples wanting a wedding cake.
   26. MIKE: Are objections and denial of service based on deeply held religious grounds really that different from objections and denial of service based on deeply held political, philosophical, and human rights grounds?
   27. MIKE: I think this is a question worth serious exploration.
   28. MIKE: Huckabee Sanders and other Republicans can’t have it both ways, though they always seem to want to.
8. From Reuters — Trump launches anti-fraud task force to be led by Vance; By Bo Erickson | REUTERS.COM | March 16, 2026 8:00 AM CDT/Updated March 17, 2026. TAGS: U.S. President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, National Task Force, Fraud,
   1. S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday launching a national task force led by ​Vice President JD Vance aimed at proving Trump’s claims that federal funds ‌intended for social-welfare programs are being stolen in some states.
   2. Trump had previously tasked Vance with leading administration efforts to investigate fraud in Minnesota. The order signed on Monday designated that the task ​force look into fraud allegations across the country. Trump has repeatedly invoked a ​scandal that dates back to 2020 in Minnesota in which 47 ⁠people were accused of defrauding $250 million from a state-run, federally funded child nutrition program.
   3. The controversy ​prompted Trump earlier this year to send in 2,000 federal immigration officers to crack ​down on migrants. He shifted tactics to a less aggressive approach after federal officers shot to death two people protesting his policies.
   4. Trump specifically singled out California during remarks on Monday and said, ​without providing evidence, that fraud allegations were higher in Democratic-led states than in Republican-led ​states.
   5. Vance, appearing with Trump in the Oval Office, said the order would force the federal government ‌to “stop ⁠the fraud of the American taxpayer and make sure that the benefits that ought by right go to American citizens, go to American citizens, and not to fraudsters.”
   6. A copy of the executive order released by the White House said members of the ​task force are to ​come up with ⁠a plan in 90 days to implement anti-fraud measures.
   7. A White House fact sheet describing the order mentioned California, Illinois, New York, ​Maine and Colorado as U.S. states with “insufficient” fraud oversight.
   8. Vance last month ​criticized Minnesota ⁠Governor Tim Walz, who was Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris’ running mate in 2024, over his efforts to combat fraud and froze more than a quarter of a billion ⁠dollars ​of Medicaid funding for the state.
   9. Walz has slammed the Trump ​administration for what he called “a campaign of retribution.”
9. But then, there’s this story about alleged bribery and extortion by one of Trump’s high government officials reported by NBCNews-dot-com — Some DHS contractors told White House officials they were asked to pay Corey Lewandowski; By Julia Ainsley, Matt Dixon, Jonathan Allen & Laura Strickler | NBCNEWS.COM | March 19, 2026, 5:00 AM CDT. TAGS: GEO Group founder George Zoley, Corey Lewandowski, Pay-To-Play, Private Prison Industry, Graft, Bribery,
   1. More than a year ago, The GEO Group founder George Zoley asked for a meeting with Corey Lewandowski, a close ally of President Donald Trump who had just started a powerful position as a top adviser to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
   2. As a titan of the private prison industry, GEO Group stood to benefit from Trump’s mass deportation agenda, which would require the federal government to spend tens of billions of dollars to transport, detain, monitor and deport undocumented immigrants. The company’s federal contracts in those areas already totaled more than $1 billion per year.
   3. But Zoley and his advisers were worried that the road to securing new government contracts now ran through Lewandowski. The two had history: Lewandowski and Zoley had butted heads during the transition between Trump’s November 2024 election and his January 2025 inauguration, before Lewandowski officially worked for the government, according to two industry sources and one senior DHS official familiar with the matter.
   4. [According to a senior DHS official and three people familiar with their discussion,] During the transition, Lewandowski told Zoley that he wanted to be paid in exchange for protecting and growing GEO Group’s DHS contracts. … Zoley, concerned about the propriety of the ask, told Lewandowski he would have no part of it, the sources said, describing the confrontation as tense.
   5. Lewandowski took a role as an unpaid “special government employee” at DHS once the new administration was sworn in, where he advised and acted as a “de facto chief of staff” to Noem and, sources said, influenced contract awards. Zoley scrambled to find a way to assuage tensions from the meeting during the transition, two industry sources familiar with the matter said. He secured a follow-up with Lewandowski in late February or early March 2025.
   6. That second meeting did not go much better.
   7. Zoley offered to put Lewandowski on retainer — a recurring consulting fee — with GEO Group, according to two industry sources familiar with the matter.
   8. Lewandowski balked, saying he wanted to be compensated based on the company’s new or renewed contracts with DHS, the two sources said.
   9. [Said a person with knowledge of the meeting] “He wanted payments — what some people would call a success fee.”
   10. Zoley declined, the two sources said. In the months that followed, the length of two of GEO Group’s federal contracts shrank, and currently several of its facilities that could house migrants sit idle, even as Congress and Trump have poured money into DHS to execute the mass deportation campaign. GEO Group officials believe that is tied to their not agreeing to Lewandowski’s solicitations, said a source familiar with the GEO Group officials’ thinking.
   11. A senior DHS official told NBC News that within weeks of Lewandowski’s second meeting with Zoley, Lewandowski told [the senior DHS official] not to award more contracts to GEO Group. Lewandowski, through a spokesperson, denied that.
   12. Months later, in December 2025, GEO Group did receive a new contract for $121 million for services that help locate immigrants DHS is trying to find.
   13. Lewandowski‘s spokesperson denied this account of his interactions with GEO Group. [His representative said,] “This is absolutely false and did not happen — Mr. Lewandowski never demanded any payment or compensation from the Geo Group, at any time.”
   14. Asked whether he has ever received “any money from any of the contracts” he has signed off on, Lewandowski previously told NBC News in an interview, “zero, not one penny.”
   15. Now, lawmakers are asking about Lewandowski. Noem testified at a congressional hearing earlier this month in which lawmakers asked about her and Lewandowski’s role in government contracts. Trump called them both after and asked Lewandowski questions about his role in DHS contracting decisions, a source with knowledge of the call told NBC News.
   16. The president fired Noem after the hearings, saying she would depart as secretary on March 31. Lewandowski told NBC News he has not decided whether he will leave DHS with her. …
   17. MIKE: This story is really long, so I severely excerpted it for time. You can read the full article by clicking on the story link in this show post at ThinkwingRadio-dot-com. It goes into more detail and discussion on the corruption allegations, and then touches on Noem’s running of the Department of Homeland Security, her subsequent dismissal by Trump, the confirmation hearings of Markwayne Mullin, etc.
   18. MIKE: I just think it’s revealing that Trump is forming an “anti-fraud taskforce” on trumped up allegations of social welfare fraud in some Democrat-run states when there is glaring evidence of fraud in his executive branch right under his nose.
   19. MIKE: Am I saying I’m surprised? Of course not! I’m just fascinated by the irony of the contrast. Maybe Trump’s just annoyed that he didn’t get h is beak wet.
10. Trump administration seeks $200bn in military funding in wake of Iran war; By Madeline Halpertand & Anthony Zurcher,North America correspondent| BBC.COM | March 19, 2026. TAGS: Donald Trump, US Congress, Iran War, US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth,
    1. MIKE: I think that this story has been reported widely enough that I don’t need to read it. I just wanted to suggest that if Trump and Hegseth want more money for this illegal and pointless war, and if Congress thinks it’s worthy, then the money should come entirely from tax increases on the corporations and billionaires who got tax breaks in 2025. Especially since so many of them are probably profiting from this war.
11. From PBS-dot-ORG — Some leaders see powerful argument for renewable energy as Iran war shakes markets; By Seth Borenstein, Associated Press, By Jennifer McDermott, Associated Press | PBS.ORG | Mar 9, 2026 2:34 PM EDT. TAGS: Iran, Iran War, Oil, Renewable Energy,
    1. World leaders have tried and failed to curb climate change by appealing to nations to act for the common good. Now, the Iran war and its costly energy crunch have some experts wondering if selfishness and nationalism may be a more likely way to save the planet, by boosting support for homegrown renewables over imported fossil fuels.
    2. [Some experts hope that] Bombed refineries, disrupted shipping channels for oil and liquefied natural gas and skyrocketing fuel prices should point even the most reluctant leaders to a cleaner fossil-free future … .
    3. But others are dismissive, noting the same speculation emerged, and then quickly flopped, as recently as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. That prompted some European nations to replace gas with even dirtier coal.
    4. [MIKE: Well, that’snot entirely true. They turned on coal plants as a bridge energy source, but they have been diligently trying to move toward renewables. Continuing …]
    5. [Said Stanford University climate scientist Rob Jackson, who tracks global emissions of carbon dioxide,] “[It’s] Just wishful thinking.”…
    6. [U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres said in an email to The Associated Press,] “The turmoil we are witnessing today in the Middle East makes it evident that we are facing a global energy system largely tied to fossil fuels — where supply is concentrated in a few regions and every conflict risks sending shock waves through the global economy. … In past oil shocks, countries had little choice but to absorb the pain. Now they have an exit ramp. …”
    7. [Guterres continued,] “Homegrown renewable energy has never been cheaper, more accessible, or more scalable. … The resources of the clean energy era cannot be blockaded or weaponized.”
    8. … Annual U.N. climate conferences aimed at global cooperation have accomplished little. The most recent meeting in Brazil, known as COP30, ended with a statement that didn’t even mention the words “fossil fuels,” much less include a timeline to reduce their use.
    9. Guterres said then that he “cannot pretend that COP30 has delivered everything that is needed.”
    10. Under President Donald Trump, whose attack on Iran has sparked new energy concerns, the U.S. didn’t even participate in the Brazil meeting.
    11. Even though renewable energy use and new installations are soaring globally, outpacing fossil fuel growth, the world continues to increase its fossil fuel use every year, with emissions of heat-trapping carbon dioxide and methane rising to new highs year after [year]. That’s driving atmospheric warming that increases costly and deadly extreme weather, including dangerous heat, around the world.
    12. [Said Michael Oppenheimer, a Princeton climate and international affairs professor,] “The bottom line is that for at least another five years and maybe longer, emissions reduction will in fact be dealt with largely unilaterally. … If countries see the Israel-U.S.-Iran war as a further reason to head for the exits on fossil fuels by loosening domestic opposition to the necessary policies, that will be accomplished unilaterally at the domestic level.”
    13. … Caroline Baxter, director of the Converging Risks Lab at the Council on Strategic Risks in Washington, said there has already been a “dramatic slowdown” in the movement of fossil fuels to various ports due to the conflict. And for countries like Japan or South Korea that depend on tankers arriving in their ports to deliver energy, this is a really big deal, she said.
    14. Baxter said she “wouldn’t be surprised” if some shift to green energy because of the conflict, if only because renewable energy offers more stability than fossil fuels do.
    15. [Said Baxter, who was U.S. deputy assistant secretary of defense for force education and training from 2021 to 2024 under the Biden administration,] “I think there is an opportunity, rightly or wrongly, for countries to really turn inward and try to power themselves in a way that cuts off their dependence on other nations for that source.”
    16. Baxter said if she’s right and if “everyone does it in their backyard,” it will limit future climate change “without the thorny diplomatic negotiations and the glad-handing, and the machinations behind closed doors” of international climate conferences.
    17. The war will lead to more solar panels and heat pumps installed in coming months, said energy analyst Ana Maria Jaller-Makarewicz, of IEEFA Europe.
    18. … More skeptical analysts point to the Russian invasion of Ukraine a few years ago, which put a massive kink in Europe’s natural gas supply, yet didn’t change the world’s fossil fuel dependence. Politicians often pivot to other fossil fuels to address war-oriented energy insecurity, such as coal, which releases even higher amounts of heat-trapping gases.
    19. [Said war studies lecturer Pauline Heinrichs at King’s College in the United Kingdom,] “We have seen this at the European level where actors post-2022 slowly wanted to move away from the energy transition which is exactly the wrong lesson.”
    20. [Said Ohio University’s Geoff Dabelko, an expert on climate and conflict, and University of St. Andrews’ Neta Crawford, author of “The Pentagon, Climate Change, and War: Charting the Rise and Fall of U.S. Military Emissions,] “Just as Europe did then, many countries, like China and India — already the world’s No. 1 and No. 3 carbon-emitting countries — could turn to more coal use.”
    21. … Whatever happens with nations’ energy choices, the war itself will spike emissions.
    22. Even before it began, reports showed that the world’s militaries are responsible for 5.5% of Earth’s heat-trapping emissions each year, more than any [single] country except [for] China, the United States and India.
    23. [Neta] Crawford, co-founder of the Costs of War project at Brown University’s Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs, said [that] fighter jets consuming vast quantities of fuel, releasing carbon dioxide and other pollutants, is just one example.
    24. [Said Crawford,] “The consequences of war on emissions will far exceed any incremental offset in emissions due to increased enthusiasm for a green transition.”
    25. MIKE: In the right mix, renewable energy is now a perfectly viable primary source of power for many, if not most, nations. Using BESSes — Battery Energy Storage Systems — in the mix at the right capacities, wind and solar could not only provide the vast majority of energy in the United States. The decentralization of those power sources could actually make our electricity distribution systems more safe, efficient, and secure.
    26. MIKE: There are many different kinds of utility-scale battery technologies currently in the mix, some safer than others, some more energy dense than others, some cheaper when amortized over time than others. The technology is viable and mature enough that, while there will be improvements over time, we could now replace most fossil energy with renewable, domestically-sourced energy.
    27. MIKE: A useful side-effect of this energy conversion might be a reduction in wars by subtracting fossil fuel security from the national security equation.
12. Finally, from CNBC-dot-com — Japan rejects U.S. intel assessment that Takaichi’s Taiwan remarks represent ‘significant shift’; By Lim Hui Jie@in/hui-jie-lim-a7371176/ | CNBC.COM | Published Thu, Mar 19 2026@1:58 AM EDT. TAGS:
    1. Taiwan’s [President Lai Ching-te] said the island’s energy supply remains stable despite heavy reliance on imports. Japan on Thursday rejected a S. intelligence assessment that said Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s remarks on Taiwan represented a “significant shift” for a sitting Japanese prime minister.
    2. Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara told reporters during a press briefing that Tokyo’s approach remains “quite consistent.”
    3. [According to a translation provided by the Prime Minister’s Office, Kihara said,] “A significant policy shift is not something that is happening right now.”
    4. The response came as Takaichi arrived in the U.S. for a summit with U.S. President Donald Trump, with the Iranian conflict expected to dominate the meeting.
    5. Takaichi had sparked a furious response from Beijing in November when she told parliament that a Chinese attempt to seize Taiwan by force could prompt the intervention of Japan’s Self-Defense Forces.
    6. China responded by suspending imports of seafood and issuing travel advisories for its nationals not to travel to Japan, resulting in a sharp decline in Chinese tourist numbers to the country.
    7. The intelligence report, issued on March 18, said that Takaichi’s characterization of a potential Chinese invasion of Taiwan — as a “survival threatening situation” for Japan — carried weight.
    8. The [characterization] could open the door for Japan to intervene under its 2015 reinterpretation of its Constitution, which allows Japan’s military to engage in “collective-self defence” to protect allied forces under certain scenarios.
    9. The U.S. report also said that “China is employing multidomain coercive pressure that probably will intensify through 2026, aimed both at punishing Japan and deterring other countries from making similar statements about their potential involvement in a Taiwan crisis.”
    10. However, the intelligence community also assessed that Chinese leaders do not currently plan to execute an invasion of Taiwan in 2027.
    11. Beijing regards democratically governed Taiwan as part of its territory, and has not ruled out the use of force against the island. Taiwan, [for] its part, rejects those claims and says that only [Taiwan] can decide its [own] future.
    12. … Earlier Wednesday, China’s Taiwan Affairs Office said that peaceful reunification with Taiwan would benefit the island, including improving the security of Taiwan’s energy resources, “backed by a strong motherland.”
    13. This comes as Taiwan President Lai Ching-te sought to ease concerns over its energy stockpile, saying that supplies for Taiwan are “100% in place” for the next two months. He added that Taiwan intends to increase its gas imports from the U.S. to meet domestic energy demand.
    14. According to Taiwan’s Energy Administration, 95.8% of its energy was imported in 2024. Saudi Arabia and the United States each accounted for about 30% of crude imports.
    15. Taiwan sourced 38% of its liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports from Australia, with about a quarter coming from Qatar.
    16. Imported coal made up 29.1% of Taiwan’s energy supply, with nearly half from Australia and just 0.03% from China. Taiwan did not import any crude oil or LNG from China that year.
    17. MIKE: As a mountainous island, there may be limits to the degree that Taiwan could use solar energy to replace some of its fossil fuel use, but in addition to whatever it can manage on the solar front such as rooftop solar, onshore and offshore wind energy might be worth pursuing to increase their long-term energy security, and defend against threats to their political independence caused by shortages and coercion.

There’s always more to discuss, but that’s all we have time for today.
