I'm calling it right now: Payton Jackson will be the first female U.S. President.

The Fort Worth Police Department is investigating a homicide that happened before 1:30 a.m. on Friday, April 18 in the 9900 block of Farmers Branch Street. "It was an exorcism" What we know: According to police, an anonymous caller called 911 and said they received a photo in a group chat on Snapchat of a woman on the ground covered in something red, possibly blood, the arrest affidavit shows. The anonymous caller gave police the address of the 9900 block of Farmers Branch St. in Fort Worth. They said this was the address of the person who sent the photo....

A woman stripped naked and ran through Dallas Fort Worth International (DFW) Airport squirting people with her water bottle while screaming about being a polyglot and then destroying airport equipment. Unfortunately, we lack context, but a video shows a naked woman prancing about a terminal concourse squiring others with a water bottle. She screams, “I speak all languages, mother….” while evading the grasp of the security guard (who understandably did not even want to touch her). A good samaritan offered her a coat in an attempt to cover her modesty, but she ran in the opposite direction and proceeded to...

In an interview that aired Sunday on NBC’s Dallas-Fort Worth-area affiliate KXAS and went viral on X Monday, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) talked repeatedly about wanting to beat up and repeatedly “punch” Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz. Leaving aside her sudden code switching in the last year, the incendiary rhetoric is the sort of thing ABC, CBS, and NBC would look to call out if the parties were reversed. Unsurprisingly, they ignored it on their flagship Monday evening and Tuesday morning news shows, thus giving their tacit approval. CNN and MSNBC were also uninterested. Here was Crockett’s full comment: I...

A Texas teacher sparked outrage after urging Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to target his own students because they 'don't even speak English'. The teacher, who goes by @HookEm232 on X but has not been identified by officials, sparked an investigation from the Fort Worth Independent School District following his social media posts. The teacher responded to a daily update from ICE announcing how many arrests and detainers the agency had made against illegal immigrants amid President Trump's crackdown on his first week back in power. 'Yall should come to Fort Worth, TX to Northside High School,' the teacher...

Absolute crazy footage from the Fort Worth, TX pileup. (Feb. 11, 2021)

The United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas ruled against the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in a high-profile case brought by the Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency (PHMPT). The decision mandates the FDA to release the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) file for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine no later than June 30, 2025. The case stemmed from a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by the PHMPT, which sought comprehensive data related to the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. The FDA initially claimed it would need up to 75 years to process and release the requested documents....

The Tarrant County Sheriff is up for re-election following a contentious year filled with controversy surrounding deaths at the Tarrant County Jail. Sheriff Bill Waybourn, who first took office as a Republican in 2017, is facing a challenge from Democrat Patrick Moses, a retired law enforcement officer. Waybourn won with 53% of the vote, according to unofficial results. Since Waybourn took office, more than 60 people have died in the Tarrant County Jail, about half from natural causes, which has spurred numerous calls for Waybourn to resign.

Burnett Plaza, the tallest building in Fort Worth, has been sold at foreclosure auction for $12.3 million. It previously sold in 2021 for $137.5 million.

I waited in line alongside a woman with a cane wearing a cross necklace and a group of teenage boys in board shorts. A blind man was led along by two other gentlemen past a well-dressed lady in petite black heels and her suit-wearing date. A toddler held her daddy's hands as we entered into the arena and were met with the overwhelming smell of funnel cake. The Dickies Arena in Fort Worth can hold up to 14,000 people. As I took my seat, bright screens in every direction advertised the upcoming entertainment: Disney On Ice, Dierks Bentley, Justin Timberlake....

Neither Timber Creek High School sophomore saw Keller ISD’s decision to cancel their performance of “The Laramie Project” — which included more than 70 students — coming. Students plan to voice their concerns to the school board Feb. 29. “I was a little blindsided,” Sampson, 16, told the Fort Worth Report. “It was a role I really wanted to perform. I was a little dejected when I heard it was being canceled.” “The Laramie Project” is a play that recounts the aftermath of the murder of Matthew Shepard, a gay University of Wyoming student who was beaten and tied to...

In the face of declining enrollment and projected budget shortfalls, the Fort Worth Independent School District plans to cut staff. Superintendent Angelica Ramsey posted the announcement online Monday. "This year, due to continued projections of declining enrollment, coupled with legislative inaction on public school financing, the sunsetting of ESSER funds, fewer federal dollars, and a projected budget deficit, it has become necessary for us to make additional reductions both in budgets and staff," Ramsey wrote. School board members spent three hours in executive session during a special meeting on Tuesday night, discussing which positions and how many will be affected....

Good news for Elon Musk. A judge appointed by former President Donald Trump will oversee the high-profile lawsuit filed by Musk against the far-left organization Media Matters. As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Elon Musk’s X Corp., formerly known as Twitter, has filed a defamation lawsuit against Media Matters on Monday, accusing the “radical anti-free speech organization” of publishing a report that falsely claimed that X was allowing ads to run next to pro-Nazi content. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas Fort Worth Division, alleges that Media Matters’ report was “malicious” and...

A Texas church was recently awarded a "Millstone of the Month Award" by a nonprofit for founding a grant program by which minors can be transported out-of-state to obtain opposite-sex hormones or body-mutilating trans surgeries. U.S. Parents Involved in Education (USPIE) gave their Millstone of the Month Award in October to the leadership and congregation of Galileo Church in Fort Worth for exhibiting what they described as "blatant disregard of biblical principles and the welfare of confused children," according to a press release from the nonprofit earlier this week. USPIE describes their Millstone of the Month Award as "a monthly...

A man was forcibly removed from a Texas school board meeting Tuesday while attempting to speak out against an LGBTQ book banned from school libraries. Mike Cee was seen on video, while holding a microphone used for public comment, quoting the book Flamer by Mike Curato, which is a novel about a teenager discovering his sexuality. The book had already been removed from the district's elementary and middle school libraries during the summer. He, at one point, reads off the line of one character asking: 'Who wants my hot wiener?' Cee was met with one board member slamming her gavel...

The case of a Fort Worth patient’s quest to treat his COVID-19 with ivermectin, and a Houston doctor’s determination to prescribe him the drug, is headed to a rare hearing where a state agency will argue that the doctor broke the law. The Texas Medical Board filed a formal complaint against Dr. Mary Talley Bowden in April, accusing her of unprofessional conduct when she allegedly prescribed ivermectin to a man at Texas Health Huguley Hospital where she did not have privileges. She also did not properly review the patient’s medical history or the patient himself, according to the complaint. The...

Stanley Black & Decker acquired the Craftsman brand in 2017 to revitalize it and bring manufacturing back to the United States. The Fort Worth factory, announced in 2019, was meant to take this vision further by forging iconic Craftsman wrenches, ratchets, and sockets from American steel. The company believed that advanced automation would allow the plant to compete cost-effectively with imported products while meeting consumer demand for U.S.-made tools. Former employees revealed that the factory’s automated system experienced critical problems that couldn’t be resolved before the company closed the facility. The pandemic also disrupted the production timeline, preventing proper testing...
