FORT WORTH – A runoff for a U.S. House seat in Texas on Tuesday, July 27 came down to two Republicans in a race to succeed Rep. Ron Wright, who in February became the first member of Congress to die after being diagnosed with COVID-19. Republican state lawmaker Jake Ellzey has upset Susan Wright, GOP party activist and widow of the late congressman, to win the U.S. House seat. Gov. Greg Abbott released a statement congratulating Ellzey on his victory.“Congratulations to Jake Ellzey on his hard-fought victory in Texas’ 6th Congressional District,” said Governor Abbott. “Jake will be a strong and effective leader
Tuesday marked the first session of the House committee convened to investigate the January 6 Capitol Riot. And it didn’t take long for the theatrical nature of the proceeding to expose itself as Congressmen Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) and Adam Schiff (D-CA) let the faux tears flow for the cameras. Fox News Channel host Tucker Carlson used a hearty dose of sarcasm as he keyed in on those moments and called them out for how “emotionally fragile” they were.“The one thing we did learn, it’s something we long suspected but never seemed confirmed is an awful lot of members of Congress are emotionally fragile,”
The former editor of the Drudge Report, Joseph Curl, announced Tuesday the launch of Off The Press, a conservative-oriented aggregator that he says will have a "fearless attitude" toward covering "everything for those who devour news all day."Curl says the marketplace is ripe for a premier, 24/7 news aggregator that consumers can trust, with the Drudge Report having become just another echo chamber for the mainstream media. "Now more than ever, keeping up with the most important stories is a battle," Curl says. "With social media deluging everyone with endless posts on their news feeds, the internet needs an editor to cull the very best stories and present them
More mask madness from the CDC

Just over a week ago, the Centers for Disease Control advised that vaccinated teachers and students don’t need masks. On Tuesday, it reversed that, recommending that all staff and K-12ers mask up, regardless of vax status. It also switched to saying indoor-mask mandates make sense, at least in areas experiencing spikes in cases.This is nonsense — and pernicious, too: The vax-hesitant lose a big reason to get jabbed if the shot doesn’t let them breathe freely. Indeed, such reversals also undermine the CDC’s entire claim to be making calls purely on the science.
Anyone who cut their teeth in the conservative new media blogosphere likely spent hours every day weeding through hundreds of independent sources online, to get even a semblance of honest news coverage. And it sometimes seemed that the only way to avoid all of that laborious trawling was with the advent of a trustworthy, right-of-center aggregation site called Drudge Report.But sadly, in recent years, we’ve witnessed the degradation of the once-unparalleled news aggregator founded by Matt Drudge. And as many readers know, it was that site — along with the progressive-left mainstay Huffington Post — which the late, happy warrior Andrew Breitbart
Nancy Pelosi’s “commission” on the riot in the US Capitol started out pretty much as one would have expected. Of course, a commission predicated on a lie (insurrection) needs lots of lies to back it up. My colleague Bonchie covered the opening day festivities in Lies Pile up on Day One of the January 6th Hearings.Actually, if we are going to use the broad rubric that [Mississippi Democrat Bennie] Thompson is using, thousands of people lost their lives for a variety of different reasons across the country. Regardless, only one was a direct result of something done at the Capitol that day. That would be Ashli Babbitt,
President Biden said on Tuesday he was weighing whether to require all federal workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19 as the nation faces surging infection rates and hospitalizations caused by the rampant Delta variant.He spoke just after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended that fully vaccinated against COVID-19 should go back to wearing masks indoors in regions where infections were on the rise.The moves illustrate how far the nation is from the 'summer of freedom' that Biden promised just last month. Biden was asked about mandatory vaccinations for federal employees
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) claimed the Second Amendment has been included in the Constitution because of rampant “anti-blackness” and that the foundation of the amendment is inherently racist. But two black gun owners – including one who exercised his Second Amendment right to save his life – said the ACLU is guilty of fear-mongering.Founder of Black Guns Matter Maj Toure told the Daily Caller claims the Second Amendment is racist is a tactic to “brainwash black people into believing that having the means to defend themselves is nefarious.”
As Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi picks members of a select committee to investigate the riots of January 6, a new poll finds that many Americans believe she’s focusing on the wrong riots.One-third more Americans believe Congress should hold investigative hearings about last summer’s “Black Lives Matter protests that sparked violence” than think lawmakers ought to probe the riot at the capitol on January 6.In all, two out of three likely U.S. voters say they believe Congress should open an official investigation into “the violent protests,”
Walmart on Tuesday announced it will pay the full cost of college tuition and books for its roughly 1.5 million full- and part-time employees, effective Aug. 16.The largest private U.S. employer said it would be investing $1billion over the next five years into career development for its employees and drop the current $1-a-day fee workers are required to pay to take part in the company's higher education program.The announcement comes as consumer demand is soaring as the U.S. economy reopens from the COVID-19 pandemic, deepening a national labor crunch, with employers, particularly in the retail and food service industry,
The art dealer who is handling Hunter Biden’s work claimed in 2015 that he wanted to be the “lead guy in China,” a development that could pose new problems for the administration as it is likely to generate new criticisms about undue foreign influence from a competitor nation.The dealer, Georges Berges, has discussed dealing with artists and buyers in China in the past, so handling Hunter Biden now that his father is president is likely to pose major ethics issues, especially since the White House is not being transparent regarding who is purchasing the artwork.A spokesperson for Berges told Fox News earlier that all of Biden’s art sales are

DC Police Officer Daniel Hodges during a House hearing regarding January 6 on Tuesday repeatedly referred to pro-Trump insurrectionists who stormed the US Capitol as "terrorists."

Between his bumbling about during a CNN town hall last week and his over the weekend episode where he seemingly says “my butt’s been wiped,” the condition of President Biden’s mental faculties had drawn increased scrutiny in recent days. And during an appearance on Monday’s Special Report, Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume did what the liberal media refused to do and called it out, noting “these are signs of senility.”“You know, Brit, the President obviously receives some pretty good press overall from the media,” anchor Bret Baier prefaced as he broached the subject. “But, there have been a couple answers

Democratic lawmakers and Interior Secretary Deb Haaland want to change the names of more than 1,000 rivers, mountains and other places because they consider the names to be racist. A Democratic bill introduced last week in both chambers—one by Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and the other by Rep. Al Green of Texas—would also eliminate the names of places that are named after people who “held racially repugnant views” or “carried out injustices against racial minorities,” according to the legislation.
“Racism, even in geography, cannot be tolerated in a country that strives for liberty and justice for all,” Mr. Green said. The lawmakers refused to provide

The Tokyo Olympics opening ceremony, delayed a year because of the COVID-19 pandemic, drew 16.7 million viewers for NBC on Friday, the smallest audience for the network broadcast in the past 33 years, according to data from the Comcast-owned NBCUniversal on Saturday.
Surfing as an Olympic sport was made possible by centuries of American imperialism as the United States used surfing as a tool to expand its powers abroad, according to a recent Washington Post op-ed that warned the sport’s history would continue to be on display during the current 2021 Tokyo Games.
The piece, published on Sunday by Thomas Blake Earle, a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Presidential History at Southern Methodist University, attempts to depict the water sport’s history as one filled with American imperialism.
Next year’s midterm elections will be as good to Republicans as the seminal 1994 vote, which gave the GOP unified control of Congress for the first time in more than 40 years, Sen. Lindsey Graham predicted Monday night.
“I think there’s a tidal wave brewing,” Graham (R-SC) told Fox News’ “Hannity.” “I think this is going to be 1994 all over again. When you look at rampant inflation, out-of-control crime and a broken border and just [a] general lack of knowing what you’re doing, lack of competency … the Republican Party’s going to have a great comeback if we recruit the right people.”
