Texas Bans Sharia Law (Again), Just to Be Sure

By Patriot McFreedom, Staff Writer for The Lone Star Sentinel

AUSTIN, TX — In a bold move to protect its citizens from an ever-looming threat that exists mainly in the minds of certain talk radio hosts, the Texas legislature has voted—unanimously and for the seventh time in twelve years—to ban Sharia Law.

“Even though Sharia Law has never been practiced in Texas, and there’s no indication that it ever will be, we wanted to send a strong message to radical hypothetical scenarios,” said State Senator Buck Godspeed (R-Horsepower County), the bill’s author. “This is about freedom. Specifically, the freedom to ban things we don’t understand.”

The bill, titled the God, Guns, and Good Old Common Law Act, will prohibit courts in Texas from referencing, implementing, or even pronouncing anything that “sounds foreign or scary.” A special appendix also bans hummus from courthouse cafeterias “just in case.”

Governor Greg Abbott held a signing ceremony at a BBQ joint outside Waco, where he scrawled his name onto the bill with a pen carved from antler. “Texas will not be ruled by any law other than our own,” Abbott proclaimed. “Except maybe the Ten Commandments, which we are currently working to staple to every public school hallway.”

When asked to define Sharia Law, most lawmakers were refreshingly honest. “I think it’s a kind of fabric?” offered Representative Tammy Sue Pillbox (R-Fear County). “Like chiffon, but with more jihad?”

Critics argue that the bill is legally redundant, as U.S. and Texas courts already operate under, well, U.S. and Texas law. But supporters insist it’s a necessary precaution. “You never know when a rogue imam might try to force you into a burqa during a tailgate,” warned local militia leader and part-time chiropractor Rex “Tex” Hammersmith.

Meanwhile, the Muslim community in Texas—which comprises approximately 1.2% of the population—responded with a collective sigh. “We’re just trying to get through airport security like everyone else,” said Noura Mahmoud, a Houston software engineer. “We don’t have time to impose religious law. We barely have time for laundry.”

In a companion resolution, Texas lawmakers are also considering banning witchcraft, smallpox, and communism—again.

“We must stay vigilant,” said Senator Godspeed. “Because if we don’t outlaw nonexistent threats, who will?”

UPDATE: Texas lawmakers have reportedly launched an investigation into whether yoga pants are a covert tool of Sharia influence. A bipartisan committee will meet Thursday at the Bass Pro Shop to discuss findings.

Trump Says Ukraine War Caused by Stolen 2020 Election; Ends Conflict Instantly with Confidence

At a joint press conference this week with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy , U.S. President Donald Trump unveiled a sweeping new theory of international relations, asserting that the Russian invasion of Ukraine would never have occurred if the 2020 U.S. presidential election had not been “stolen from him personally.” “This war,” Trump said, gesturing broadly toward Eastern Europe, “is really about me. Everybody knows it. If I were president, this would not have happened. Putin would have been too scared. Tremendously scared.” Standing beside him, Zelensky maintained a diplomatic expression usually reserved for situations involving translation errors or mild food poisoning. Trump continued, explaining that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was not the result of decades of post-Cold War tension, NATO expansion debates, or Russian imperial ambition, but rather a direct consequence of Trump not being in the White House at the time. “Putin respects strength,” Trump said. “And by streng...

Trump’s Prime-Time Address Assures Americans the Economy Is Perfect—Suggests They’re Just Too Stupid to Notice

In an unexpected return to prime-time television, President Donald J. Trump delivered a 28-minute national address Wednesday night designed, according to his staff, to “clear up confusion about the economy.” The resulting speech instead raised questions about whether he had accidentally wandered onto the soundstage during a pharmaceutical infomercial. “Ladies and gentlemen, the American economy is the strongest, the bigliest, the most incredible it has ever been,” Trump announced, gripping the lectern as if it had personally wronged him. “If you can’t see that, well… maybe you’re just not very smart. Not everyone can be smart. I’m very smart. But most of you, frankly? Not so much.” Economic experts, who had spent the previous week offering cautious optimism mixed with concern about rising costs, were surprised to learn that the entire issue was simply a matter of insufficient national intelligence. “Normally we talk about inflation, interest rates, employment trends,” said economist Da...

Trump Unveils Bold New Healthcare Vision: Trumpcare, Which Is Totally Different From Obamacare Except for the Parts That Are the Same

In a dazzling Rose Garden announcement complete with golden bunting, a fog machine, and a choir humming “Hail to the Chief” in a minor key, President Donald J. Trump unveiled what he called “the most spectacular, most terrific, most everybody-is-saying-so healthcare plan in American history.” He dubbed it Trumpcare™ —a revolutionary system in which the federal government will give money directly to people so that they can better afford their own healthcare. “Folks, it’s simple,” Trump proclaimed, flanked by several cardboard cutouts of himself in a lab coat. “Under Trumpcare, instead of the government being involved—terrible idea, horrible—we’re going to give people money so they can pay for their healthcare. Total freedom. The best freedom.” The audience applauded, though several appeared to be staffers who had been instructed to clap every time Trump paused to breathe. A Reporter Dares to Ask During the Q&A portion—limited to 30 seconds and only reporters who had pre-approved ...
