Every once in a while, a new "news" outlet that I haven't heard of before pops up in my feed. For example, I started suddenly seeing posts by The Tennessee Holler in my feed. It didn't take any more than two posts to realize that The Tennessee Holler had nothing to do with newsworthy events in Tennessee. It was just another liberal, anti-Trump account.
I came to the same realization with The Texas Tribune. It only takes a couple of posts to realize that, again, it's just another liberal propaganda outlet. Most major newspapers are, but then there are these little fish as well who want to get in on the game. Oh, and then there's Discourse News, which apparently picks up reporting by The Texas Tribune. Here's the summation of the current scandal with the GOP in Texas:
🚨 BREAKING: The Texas Republican Party is now turning away Republican muslims.

Look at the photo of those sad Muslims.
A Muslim Texan hoping to participate in the state Republican convention left in tears after after being told explicitly that he should leave the country.

Mohamed Hussein was among four Muslims who arrived at the convention in earnest and were met with discussions of Sharia Law…
"… that veered into outright Islamophobia."
Renzo Downey reports:
To some extent, Mohamed Hussein knew he was preparing to enter the lion’s den.
But he made the decision to attend the Republican Party of Texas Convention to confirm for himself that he had a place in the GOP, even as members of the party have railed for months about the urgency of ending Sharia Law and the so-called “Islamification” of Texas.
What he found was a party that didn’t want him. He arrived with hope but left in tears after being told explicitly that he should leave the country.
Hussein was among at least four Muslims who arrived at the convention in earnest — not as protesters, but as delegates or attendees — to participate in the annual meeting of the state’s most hardlined Republicans as they vote on the party’s priorities and hear from GOP leaders. Two prevailing themes from the Houston gathering were party unity and combatting Sharia Law, a movement that veered into outright Islamophobia by members of the convention.
“When they say Sharia-free, that means Muslim-free, no practices of Islam,” Hussein said in an interview with The Texas Tribune. “No one is calling for the state to implement Sharia laws.”
If I've learned anything from Europe, it's that Muslims arrive as conquerors, playing on the "suicidal empathy" of progressive natives to reach into positions of power. How does The Texas Tribune know that Mohamed Hussein "arrived at the convention in earnest" and not in an attempt to get a foot in the door of GOP politics? "He arrived in hope but left in tears." Poor fella. The Texas Tribune reports that Hussein was "sobbing" when a minister told him he wanted him to leave.
What's this? Hussein attended the convention with his father, Tarek Hussein, who founded CAIR Texas-Houston, the local branch of the Muslim civil rights group, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which Gov. Greg Abbott has declared a terrorist organization, along with the Muslim Brotherhood.
In a social media post on Friday, Frank Gaffney, a defense policy analyst and Defense Department official under President Ronald Reagan, referred to some of Hussein’s old writings as a paper on how to “infiltrate” political parties.
Tell us more about those "old writings," Texas Tribune. Or not. The Tribune reached out to Frank Gaffney for comment. Actually, no, it didn't.
Way to bury the lead - the “tearful” muslims who are associated with CAIR (ie, the Muslim Brotherhood) are upset that the GOP doesn’t want them trying to influence policy.

Go sell it somewhere else.
Trash article. Islamaphobia is a made up BS phrase.

CAIR was told to leave
He should leave. He’s the leader of a designated terror group. Do your homework and report the truth.
— Elfie (@Elfiemay1) June 17, 2026
Did he just show up at the convention or did he go through the precinct & regional convention procedures to be elected as a delegate? That makes a difference. You don’t just go. There’s a process.

I am glad to see the GOP taking a stand against a traitorous ideology.🖕🏻Islam.
Stop using manipulative terms like "Islamophobia" if you want to be taken seriously.
— Dana (@OhMelodylane) June 16, 2026
Islam is a demonic, oppressive ideology that has no place in western society. They are not here to assimilate but to conquer.
Americans are not obliged to pretend otherwise.
Texas Tribune didn’t explain in the above post that the Muslims in question were CAIR members, and that CAIR has been designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization in the State of Texas.

You have to read way down towards the end of the article to find that nugget of information.
Okay.
— Huff (@Huff4Congress) June 16, 2026
Right.
And? What’s the story here?
A leader of CAIR tried to infiltrate the Texas Republican Party and then told The Texas Tribune his literal sob story about being asked to leave. Always the victim card.
Here's a pretty long video if you're in the mood:
🚨 SCOOP: Staged Tears at Texas GOP Convention

DO NOT FALL FOR THIS ISLAMIC AND LEFT-WING OPERATION!
Mohamed Hussein’s staged tears at the Texas GOP Convention were pure theater.
