Something extraordinary just happened deep in the heart of Texas.
It’s a way of life.
A meticulously designed community that brings Islam to the forefront.
This is Josephine, a thriving suburb north of Dallas.
And for the last several years, right under the nose of local officials, a radical Islamic organization has been quietly building what amounts to a self-contained parallel society, complete with its own mosque, its own Islamic school, its own medical clinic, and 74 homes sold exclusively to affiliated Muslims.
A Muslimonly enclave right here in the United States of America.
They called it Epic City, but Texans called it something else.
And then they did something about it.
You’re not going to want to miss this.
Hey gang, it’s me, Dr.
Steve, your Patriot professor, here to help you make sense of the madness with breaking news and analysis.
You’re not going to get anywhere else.
So, make sure to smack that bell and subscribe button.
Let’s start with what EPIC actually is.
Epic stands for the East Plano Islamic Center.
For over a decade, it’s operated what retired Plano Police Sergeant Douglas Deon, a court recognized SWAT expert, describes as a de facto Islamic enclave in the suburbs of Dallas.
74 homes sold exclusively to members of the mosque’s affiliated community, an Islamic school, a Sharia compliant financing system, a medical clinic, and most chillingly, a pattern of unreported deaths and closedcircuit internal governance that kept local law enforcement almost entirely in the dark.
Sergeant Deedon testified publicly that in over a decade of living adjacent to this enclave, local police had no idea what was happening behind those walls.
And then they announced phase two.
The plan was called Epic City, a proposed 400 acre 1,000 home development in Josephine Colin County, Texas.
not a neighborhood, a compound complete with its own separate governance structure, its own internal economy, and what critics described as an architecture designed to make external law enforcement practically impossible.
But the moment word got out, Texans pushed back and they pushed back hard.
The backlash was so fierce, so immediate, so overwhelming that Epic’s developers quietly rebranded the project.
They dropped the Epic name, slapped a new label on it, The Meadow, and hoped nobody would notice.
Well, they did.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott launched a fullscale investigation.
12 state agencies simultaneously looked into Epic’s operations and they issued a cease and desist order after discovering Epic had been operating an unlicensed funeral home on the premises.
Now think about that for a moment.
An unlicensed funeral home in a Muslimonly enclave in Plano, Texas.
Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a civil investigative re demand.
Senator John Cornin got involved.
To his credit, he called on the DOJ to investigate.
HUD launched a Fair Housing Act investigation in February because, as it turns out, selling homes exclusively to members of one religion happens to be a federal civil rights violation.
So the combination of the full weight of the state of Texas and the federal government came down on Epic and as a result the meadow has officially dried up.
In January, Colin County planning commissioners voted to pause all development applications for the meadow indefinitely.
They thought they could establish a center for national Islam in Texas, but Texans had other plans.
In fact, it gets even better.
Here’s where the story gets even bigger, right? Everything’s bigger in Texas.
Because what happened in Texas didn’t stop at the county line.
In March, Texas, Republican primary voters were handed a ballot question, Proposition 10, asking whether the state should ban Sharia law from being used in any Texas court or government proceeding.
The result, a jaw-dropping 94.
8 8% of Republican primary voters voted yes to ban Sharia.
94.
8%.
In a state of 30 million people from Amarillo to Corpus Christi, from El Paso to Bulmont, the verdict of the Texas electorate was delivered with clarity and final finality.
This is American soil.
American law applies here and no other law.
Period.
end of discussion.
And Democrats had the goal to actually think they’re going to try to turn Texas blue.
Not a chance.
And I’m going to show you exactly why.
The energy markets yesterday, right? Did you see that? They were flipping out in the early morning hours.
Monday actually saw the wildest single day oil swing in modern history.
Brent crude surge pasted $119 a barrel early in the session.
It’s the largest single day spike since 2020 as straight to Hormuz tanker traffic remained frozen.
And then Trump said that the war was basically complete and would end soon and he promised to hit Iran 20 times harder.
They blocked Hormuzu’s oil flows and lo and behold, prices cratered.
Brent plunged around $88 a barrel.
And that price fluctuation reminded me really of the volatility that our savings are subject to.
I mean, imagine this, right? 30 years of work, 30 years of saving, 30 years of sacrifice.
Then say 2 years before your retirement, the market tanks.
And just like that, boom, everything you built gone and it’s gone.
As they say in South Park, right before the finish line.
I again I mentioned the other day, it happened to my grandmother.
the market tanked and she saw half of her savings just wiped out.
And here’s the truth nobody wants to think about.
Anything can change overnight as we just saw yesterday.
Now, you’ve been led to believe that you’re safe.
You know, sitting in paper assets, but look around you.
Look at what’s happening right now.
War with Iran escalating, oil prices surging, global markets are reacting, and your retirement is sitting there fully exposed, tied to every bit of it.
gang.
The wealthy aren’t sitting in paper.
The education aren’t.
Central banks aren’t.
So why are you? More and more Americans are waking up to something most people never even find out.
You can actually move your IRA or your 401k into physical gold outside the market.
No taxes, no penalties.
Done.
That’s exactly why I teamed up with Augusta Precious Metals.
They showed me how it all works and they’ve helped thousands of Americans understand how to protect part of their retirement with real physical gold.
So, here’s what you need to do right now.

The ban on Sharia law in Texas is now strenging of the ban on Sharia law just weeks back.
A ban again that garnered nearly 95% support.
And we need to understand the larger picture of what’s happening here.
You know, for years, the political and media establishment told us that concerns about parallel Islamic legal structures operating inside American cities were just the paranoid delusions and fantasies of Islamophobes and conspiracy theorists.
They said it over and over and over again.
And while they were saying it, ironically, Epic was quietly operating a Muslimonly neighborhood in Plano for 12 years with unlicensed funeral operators, Sharia compliant financing, and a fortress style compound facing the Plano Police Academy.
A layout that even a veteran SWAT officer testified raised serious law enforcement concerns.
The establishment told us to look the other way, but Texans refused to.
They looked directly at it and they said no.
Now, of course, the political left is absolutely besides themselves over this.
The Council on American Islamic Relations Care, as you know, is screaming Islamophobia, right? Victim, victim, we’re victims.
The progressive media is hyperventilating about religious persecution.
But here’s what they can’t explain.
A Fair Housing Act investigation was launched because Epic was potentially discriminating against non-Muslims in housing.
Okay, now you got to get that.
The only civil rights case here that’s been violated is not against Epic’s critics.
It’s against Epic.
You can’t sell homes exclusively to members of your religious community and then claim you’re the victim of discrimination when the federal government calls you on it.
That’s not a religious freedom issue.
That’s a federal civil rights violation.
It was the epic community that was guilty of that, not their accusers.
And that for 95% of Texans obviously raised the question the compatibility of Islamic law and Islamic tradition with Western values and Western civilization.
And they concluded just like more and more Europeans are concluding that the answer to that is heck no.
These are fundamentally different civilizational cosmo visions that are operative here.
And the very fact that homes were being sold exclusively to members of your religious community at the expense of the wider community of Texans only underscores that incompatibility.
In other words, that housing discrimination is not just a perceived incompatibility.
It’s actually a practiced one.
It’s an enacted one.
And so it seems to me that Texans are not just perfectly within their rights to do what they did in both shutting down the Epic City or Meadow urban plan and banning Sharia law.
They weren’t just within their rights, they were perfectly and reasonably justified in exercising those rights.
And so here’s the bottom line.
What happened in Texas is not a local story.
It’s a national one.
It’s the story of an American community looking at what was being built in their backyard quietly, incrementally, deliberately, and saying, “No, not here.
Not on our soil, not under our noses, not in our state.
” Governor Abbott acted.
Governor General Paxton, Attorney General Paxton acted, Senator Cornin, to his credit, acted.
Hud acted.
And 95% of Texas Republican primary voters, God bless them, acted.
What we’re watching in Colin County right now is the political expression of what every sovereign nation instinctively knows.
You cannot have a country if you cannot enforce your own laws inside your own borders.
Texans understand that.
They went to the ballot box.
They went to the county commission.
They went to their governor’s office and they made themselves heard.
History does not reward the hesitant.
It rewards those who understand the moment and act.
And Texans, as always, they understood and they delivered.
If this video resonated with you, there’s a whole lot more where that came from.
