A shocking betrayal has emerged from the Texas Republican establishment that should send chills down every patriot's spine. State Senator Mayes Middleton, who has the audacity to run for Texas Attorney General, authored Senate Bill 854 that would force local communities to greenlight Islamic housing developments—including the creation of entire "Sharia cities"—whether residents want them or not.
The bill, filed in January 2025, is being marketed as a solution to Texas' housing shortage. But don't be fooled, folks. This is a direct assault on local control and community rights, wrapped in the deceptive packaging of "religious freedom."
What Middleton's legislation would actually do is strip away the fundamental right of local governments to protect their communities from unwanted development. Under the guise of preventing "religious discrimination," this bill would essentially create a legal pathway for Islamic groups to establish parallel societies governed by Sharia law principles.
Local Control Under Attack
Since when did Republican values include forcing communities to accept developments they don't want? The backbone of conservative governance has always been local control—the idea that the people closest to an issue should have the strongest voice in deciding it.
Yet here we have a so-called "conservative" senator telling Texas towns and cities that they have no say in what gets built in their own backyards. This isn't just bad policy—it's a fundamental betrayal of everything the Republican Party claims to stand for.
"This legislation would create a dangerous precedent that puts religious ideology above community safety and local sovereignty," warned one concerned Texas resident.
The timing couldn't be worse. As President Trump works tirelessly to secure our borders and protect American communities, we have Republican candidates like Middleton undermining those efforts from within.
Texas patriots deserve better than politicians who sell out local communities for the sake of political correctness. The question every voter should ask is simple: Do we want an Attorney General who forces unwanted development on communities, or one who stands with the people?
