Georgetown Housing Project in Foreclosure

A massive $33.25 million housing project in Georgetown, Texas, is now in foreclosure after developer Onx Homes defaulted on its loan, leaving 900 homes unfinished and construction crews vanished overnight. Residents face an eyesore of half-built houses and abandoned mailboxes, while the lender, WM Capital Partners, has posted a foreclosure notice with auction looming. Once promised rapid completion via prefab methods, the stalled Rocking Wilco subdivision now hangs in limbo — with no clear path forward and questions swirling over whether the dream of a completed community can ever be realized.

Ogles Sparks Debate on Family Values

Tennessee Rep. Andy Ogles sparked national backlash this week by declaring homosexuality has no place in America—right as the state celebrated “Nuclear Family Month” in June. Governor Bill Lee’s endorsement of the resolution signaled a push for traditional values, but Ogles’ comments, made during Pride Month, drew swift condemnation, including a personal rebuke from former Rep. George Santos, who called the remarks “insane” and expressed hurt over being excluded from civil rights he believes he’s earned. The episode underscores the deepening cultural divide over family, identity, and equality in the U.S. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Screwworm Threat Looms at Texas Border

A flesh-eating fly larvae, last seen in Texas in the 1960s, is making a deadly comeback—now confirmed in Mexico just 25 miles from the border. This invasive screwworm threatens livestock by burrowing into warm-blooded animals, and while Texas remains uninfected, officials warn it’s moving north fast. Past U.S. border laxity and Mexico’s weak controls may have helped spread it. The USDA is deploying millions of sterile flies weekly in Mexico and ramping up ground operations in South Texas. Though public health risk is low, economic damage to the cattle industry could be catastrophic. Animal owners near the border are urged to inspect for wounds and report any signs immediately—early action could stop this pest before it hits home.

Viviana Martinez Back to Lead

Back from a season-ending knee injury, Viviana Martinez is lighting up the Women’s College World Series as Texas Longhorns’ shortstop — hitting a career-best .382, drawing more walks, striking out less, and leading with grit and grace. Coach Mike White calls her an undeniable leader, while teammates credit her for lifting the whole team — even from the dugout last year. Now, she’s back on the field, fully present, fully powerful, and ready to help Texas chase history again. The championship series begins Wednesday in Oklahoma City — and Martinez’s comeback story is just getting started. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
