Two Texas Republicans will advance to a congressional runoff race following a crowded special election Saturday that had been House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) one opportunity — out of the six congressional special elections taking place this year — to add a seat to Democrats’ extremely slim House majority. Susan Wright, widow to the late Rep. Ron Wright (R-TX) whose seat the special election was held to fill, received the most votes out of 23 candidates at 19 percent, Decision Desk HQ results showed late Saturday evening. Wright issued a statement around midnight local time, saying

I have no idea whether these are both conservative or both RINOs, or one each. Still, 100% certain that a Republican will be elected.

Most interesting outcome. If Susan Wright gets elected, Nanie and her fellow dims can start to worry even more about their failed future. Let's hope she is the Trumpian pubbie Texas hopes she is.

Nancy should be feeling the heat. The majority is getting closer for the Republicans. All we have to do now is get Kevin McCarthy out of leadership.

"Texas Sends Message"... What does that even mean? What's the message... That we'll have a couple more Republicans that will surrender more of our culture and liberty over to the D-RATS? It sends no message to anyone... It's just more meaningless headline blather followed by broken promises and lost liberty... But boy... that message!!!

I applaud wholeheartedly anytime a democrat is denied access to power. It may not seem like much but anytime Republicans can stick it to Our Lady of Perpetual Surprise is a win in my book!

Keep Em Coming! We only need a couple more to throw Nancy off the Leaders Chair! I do agree we need to get rid of McCarthy. There are much more capable people available for that Position. McCarthy has proven he always has his finger in the Air before he decides which way to lean. He has proven he is NOT up to leading by allowing Liz Cheney to walk all over him. She might as well have a photo of herself standing with her foot on his chest and her crown firmly positioned on her Head. SHE is showing him who is really Boss there!

Unless we can figure out how to thwart a repeat of the night Nov 3/4 all of these 'messages' are worthless There are 400,000 ballots in Georgia that are still not legally convertible to votes but are in Biden's total as he sits in the White House.. And no judge would touch the case. If we can legally or legislatively change this well and good. Otherwise - Aux barricades!

The result of this election is very interesting. 1. Shows the power that Trump maintains within the party because the second place finisher was ahead in early voting and when Trump endorsed Wright, right before the election, her numbers soared on election day. 2. The Democrat placed 3rd -- eliminating ENTIRELY the possibility of flipping the seat and 3. The NeverTrump candidate only received 3% of the vote -- and Adam Kinzinger spent time in the district campaigning for the guy. All 3 of those things bode well for CONSERVATIVE candidates in 2022 and show the uphill climb Democrats and RINOs will have to make to gain any traction.

FTA - Ron Wright died in February a little over two weeks after being hospitalized with coronavirus. He had also been battling lung cancer since 2018. Perhaps I'm missing something. But, was anyone else aware that he had such an important underlying condition when his death was first reported? They lying media did their job, I guess.

Yes #14 When ole Kevin endorsed Liz Cheney and kept her in leadership was the last straw! Kevin tried to kiss up to President Trump after he backstabbed him after the 2nd impeachment, but it's not going to fly. Go away Kevin. We're not sending you another dime or your Congressional campaign for other Congressmen/women for you to control. We'll send our money to President Trump for him to send to true conservatives who are running. How in the world did we get to this point where we can't trust the leader of our party? Paging Jim Jordan!!!

WASHINGTON — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed an executive order Monday that immediately suspends all outstanding local Covid-19 emergency orders and related public health restrictions. "The fact is, we are no longer in a state of emergency," DeSantis said during a news conference. He acknowledged that Florida was still not done with its fight against the coronavirus but reiterated the nation's decline in Covid-19 cases and deaths. "I think that's the evidence-based thing to do," DeSantis said, adding that asking vaccinated individuals to continue to wear masks would undermine confidence in the coronavirus vaccines.

There is no longer a threat to the community.” He gave no other details and an agency spokeswoman didn’t immediately respond to a message.

Fox News is reporting that the Democrats’ struggle with wokeness is expanding. It started directly after the 2020 election with losses in the House that many purple district Democrats attributed to the radical proposals of the Squad, especially around policing and the summer riots. These more moderate Democrats, responsible for the bulk of the blue wave in 2018, may be in for a startling comeuppance again in 2022. The radical proposals are now coming from President Biden, and Americans are taking note. Biden’s 100-day approval numbers showed the only majority support his policies have gained are in response to COVID-19. The administration’s scores on race relations, taxes and spending, China

A majority of Americans believe basic voter ID requirements, such as requiring a valid photo ID prior to casting a ballot, would make elections “more fair,” despite the steady stream of mischaracterizations from top Democrats, who contend that such requirements are oppressive and akin to the Jim Crow era. The survey provided a series of potential rules a state could implement regarding voting and asked respondents to rate if the suggested rule would make elections “more fair,” “less fair,” or the same. Notably, 64 percent of respondents said requiring voters to provide photo identification before casting a ballot would make elections “more fair,” compared to

The Environmental Protection Agency is set to issue wide-reaching regulations on Monday to curb the use and production of greenhouse gases from the refrigeration and air conditioning industries. The new regulations will target the production and importation of hydrofluorocarbons—commonly known as HFCs. The chemical compound was first developed in the 1980s to replace more harmful greenhouse gasses that depleted the earth’s ozone layer. EPA Administrator Michael Regan will propose that U.S. will curb HFCs emissions 85% by 2035. “With this proposal, EPA is taking another significant step under President Biden’s ambitious agenda to address the climate crisis,” Mr. Regan said. “The phasedown of HFCs
