Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas thinks actor Matthew McConoughey would be a “formidable” candidate in the state’s 2022 gubernatorial race, he said Thursday on “The Hugh Hewitt Show.” McConaughey has publicly stated that launching a campaign is a “true consideration” and has reportedly been making calls to influential people in Texas politics, according to Politico. He was born in Texas and resides in Austin with his family. “He’s a very charming, very affable guy,” Cruz said to Hewitt. “He’s a movie star, and a good-looking, charming, affable movie star can be a really formidable candidate on the ballot.”

Comments:

Okay what is Matthew McConaughey's plan that's all I want to know. We push for these celebrities to run for office but at the same time we don't want to pay attention to their platform about what they want to do for the state

Pretty much a rehash of the NY Post article. None of this has anything to do with reality. Abbott will be running again. He’s a giant in comparison with actor McConaughey. A McConaughey win would be Texas’s loss. He may mean well, but is insufficiently experienced and this is a critical time...

He would certainly be the most self-righteous candidate, unless any other democrat runs.

He apparently won’t disclose whether he’d run as Democrat, Republican or Independent. Pass. And I don’t like his self-reverential Lincoln commercials, either...

Abbott has his problems, which few wish to admit are a big as they are. The rumors I hear is McConaughey running as an independent to save the money and chance of defeat in a primary race. Makes sense to me.

The Lakeville School district says it stands against racism and bigotry, and is committed to creating a more inclusive environment for all students. But some families say what is being said and being done is sending mixed messages. A group of teachers initially inquired about the BLM posters. The district says anything political is against district policy, and the BLM posters may be seen as political. During the Lakeville Area Schools Board of Education meeting, concerned parents showed up to share their thoughts about this very topic. But it was a 9-year-old girl that stole the show.

Wisconsin Republican Rep. Glenn Grothman introduced a bill Friday that would ban Washington, D.C. public schools from teaching critical race theory – a controversial doctrine that assumes systematic racism is a defining feature of U.S. history and society. Grothman said that critical race theory teaches children "to hate each other and hate their country." "In other words, students being taught that they are defined by the color of their skin, not the content of their character," he said in a statement. Congressional lawmakers have the jurisdiction to enact laws that affect the nation’s capital, as D.C. is not a state.

A segment of Democrats have been pushing for President Biden to have the ability to expand the roster of the Supreme Court and pack it with liberal justices, but Thursday's 9-0 ruling in favor of a religious foster care agency that would not work with LGBT couples is leaving some on the left disappointed with the entire court. The court's 6-3 majority of Republican-appointed justices that came to be after former President Trump got to appoint three within four years has led left-wing political figures and activists to promote court packing as a way to negate a perceived conservative advantage.

President Biden called Vladimir Putin’s comparison of Russian opposition protests to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot "ridiculous." "I think that's a ridiculous comparison," Biden said in a news conference following his Geneva meeting with the Russian president on Wednesday. "It’s one thing for literally criminals to break through ... go into the Capitol, kill a police officer and be held accountable," Biden said. Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick died soon after the riot. His death was ruled as a result of natural causes, but the medical examiner ruled that the riot played a role in his condition.

Former President Donald Trump announced he accepted an invitation to visit the “Nation’s decimated Southern Border” with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) on an official visit before Vice President Kamala Harris has made any plans to visit. Trump will visit the “Nation’s decimated Southern Border on Wednesday, June 30, 2021.” “The Biden Administration inherited from me the strongest, safest, and most secure border in U.S history and in mere weeks they turned it into the single worst border crisis in U.S history,” the former president said. He noted that the current administration has not made the Southern Borer an “unmitigated disaster zone,” adding the country has now gone from “detain-and-remove to catch-and-release.”

Newsmax released an article this week that gives voice to further distrust of America’s once-premiere law enforcement agency. The column was based on a series of questions and concerns presented by Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) regarding the still murky details around the January 6th storming of the Capitol building. Two questions lobbed at the FBI are both haunting and disheartening: “What did the FBI know? And when did they know it?” The fact that the agency responsible for investigating the lawlessness of that date is itself under scrutiny is alarming.

Darius Dotch chuckled in the midst of a Juneteenth performance last Saturday in St. Cloud. The onstage moment wasn't a mistake. He was re-enacting an 1865 letter from Jourdon Anderson, a Black man who escaped slavery in Tennessee, to his former master, who had wanted him to return to bondage. The actor and hip-hop artist lingered on a moment of droll poignancy.(Snip)Black people mark Juneteenth with recitations of historical texts, theater, poetry, dance, music and art. Some also commune through food and drink, parades and family games. The holiday is seen as one where Black people can be their authentic selves.

“It was a queer, sultry summer, the summer they electrocuted the Rosenbergs……” So goes the opening sentence of Sylvia Plath’s 1963 novel The Bell Jar, referring to the Jewish American couple, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, who were convicted of conspiracy to commit espionage and sent to the electric chair exactly 68 years ago today. Their execution casts a morbid shadow over Plath’s book, just as it did over the United States, and it is seen by many as the nadir of America’s engagement with the cold war.(Snip) During their trial, Ethel in particular was vilified for prioritising communism over her children, and the prosecution insisted

Georgia's secretary of state is poised to remove more than 100,000 "outdated" names from the state's voter registration rolls unless those on the list take immediate action.Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger released the full list of people who could be affected by the registration update on Friday."Making sure Georgia's voter rolls are up to date is key to ensuring the integrity of our elections," the Republican said in a statement. "There is no legitimate reason to keep ineligible voters on the rolls."Some critics, such as Gerald Griggs with the Atlanta NAACP, described the move as a voter purge. Griggs said thousands of voters were improperly removed from the 2019 list.

I have despised Nicolle Wallace ever since I learned of the ways she sabotaged the vice presidential run of Sarah Palin, whom she was supposedly helping run for national office. In my book, she is a vile snake. Since then, she has gone as fully left as David Brock, another onetime conservative who went to the dark side, trying for years to get Rush Limbaugh thrown off the air, destroy Fox News, and discredit every conservative. Wallace's show on MSNBC thrived while there was the Trump presidency to attack and spew hatred at. But it turns out that without Trump, not too many people want to watch her.

The tweet emphasizes the freedoms listed in the Declaration of Independence — the same freedoms Americans fought for during the Civil War — rather than the political differences the country is currently grappling with.

WASHINGTON—Russian oil imports have set a new record in the United States despite the strained relationship between Washington and Moscow. Industry experts believe the Biden administration’s climate policies will make the country more dependent on foreign oil producers. The United States imported record levels of crude oil from Russia in March and is expected to continue importing at high levels in coming months, according to the Western Energy Alliance, a trade association that represents 200 independent natural gas and oil producers in the United States. Imports of crude oil and petroleum products from Russia reached 22.9 million barrels in March, the highest level since August of 2010, according to International Energy Agency
