Hollywood star Matthew McConaughey has said he remains undecided on whether to run for Texas Governor just three weeks out from the deadline - but stated it's 'not a question of if I could win.'McConaughey, who lives in Austin, has for months teased a run to unseat Republican Gregg Abbott - and was even tipped to beat the incumbent by pollsters this week in a head-to-head race.However, the 52-year-old actor and philanthropist would also need to see off stiff competition from Democrat Beto O'Rourke, and has yet to say whether he would run as a red or a blue.

Don't sell this guy short. He doesn't have to run as an R or D...he would make a three-way general race interesting. Abbott has his problems. Beto is a loser with nothing more to offer.

He could never survive a Republican primary. He just doesn't have the resources to unseat a popular governor with deep pockets. So he would have to run as a Demon-Rat. Beto-the-faux-Mexican wouldn't have a shot against him. And while he would be very popular with the brain-dead lie-berals, when he started to state his beliefs that are more right than left from what I have seen, I'm not so sure the enthusiasm would stay very high. Like pretty much every national leader, Abbott over-reacted to the Chinavirus pandemic. And he knows it. So he has been working overtime the last few months to win back his conservative credentials. He has won me back. Hopefully the "red wave" of 2022 will make all this a mute point.

Guys, he is already preparing a way to back out of this gracefully. I really think so. He realizes now, I’m sure, that he is in no way prepared or experienced in any way for such a job. Texas is in CRISIS, let’s be honest. Never in my lifetime have we more desperately needed extremely competent, Constitutionally-courageous conservative MAGA leadership. Abbott is struggling to rise to those qualities himself. Matt needs to get over if Arnie could do it, I can.

His answer was a good one. He has not decided to run because he has not yet decided that he would be a better governor for the state of Texas than the alternatives. The way he answered the question asked him seemed to imply that he would run if he thought he was the best possible choice, even if he doubted he could win. I am not convinced he would be a bad governor, but have my doubts that he would be an improvement over Governor Abbot, and those doubts are amplified by the fact that he appears to think that someone should run against Governor Abbot. While Governor Abbot has his flaws, he is good enough that anyone running against him is either worse, or is going to help someone worse beat him.

#11 -Texan by choice, friend. C’mon down and talk to all those “thrilled” with Abbott. After the great freeze and his ineffective but highly publicized border actions, you’ll hear a lot of hemming and hawing among the faithful. He has issues with all but the Abbottistas…under the right circumstances he’s vulnerable…and he knows it. Ask that liberal Allen West.

Its not a question if McConaughey could win or not. It is a question of can he give a coherent answer without a prewritten script. Can he be more than just a popular pretty boy who seems like everyone's best pal. The question is, does McConaughey really want to give that up by having to make unpopular decisions that actually effect people, knowing that he will make some people who current love him despise him for his decisions and views. For a Hollywood ego, to have fans suddenly dislike you is a hard thig to give up.

Millions of citizens long ago concluded that professional sports, academia, and entertainment were no longer disinterested institutions, but far Left and deliberately hostile to Middle America. Yet American conservatives still adamantly supported the nation’s traditional investigatory, intelligence, and military agencies—especially when they came under budgetary or cultural attacks. Not so much anymore. For the first time in memory, conservatives now connect the FBI hierarchy with bureaucratic bloat, political bias, and even illegality. In the last five years, the FBI was mostly in the news for the checkered careers of James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Robert Mueller, Lisa Page, and Peter Strzok. Add in the criminality of convicted FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith.

We’ve looked into some of the social media of the Waukesha Christmas parade massacre here and here. Now, we’ll have to see how the facts unspool, as I always say in any case. What we do know at this point is that the attack was intentional, according to the police, and not only that but that the alleged attacker, Darrell Brooks, was trying to hit as many people as he possibly could and allegedly had previously, earlier in the month, run over the mother of one of his children.But there’s more in his social media and it’s not a good picture.

There’s a reason that the Waukesha massacre has faded from the national media. There’s a reason that MSNBC and CNN and CBS refer to it as merely a “parade crash” and quickly move on to other news.There’s a reason that President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have not prejudged the violent, racist, BLM-supporting career criminal charged with murder for driving his SUV deliberately into a Christmas parade in the mostly white Wisconsin town of Waukesha on Sunday, killing six innocents, including an 8-year-old boy, and injuring 62 others.

Only 10 cases of the strain, which could eventually be named 'Nu', have been detected so far. But it has already been spotted in three countries, suggesting the variant is more widespread. It carries 32 mutations, many of which suggest it is highly transmissible and vaccine-resistant, and has more alterations to its spike protein than any other variant.(Snip)Dr Tom Peacock, a virologist at Imperial College who first picked up on its spread, described the variant's combination of mutations as 'horrific'.

The 71-year-old cardiologist and staunch anti-vaccine advocate contracted Covid-19 two days later, according to the head event organizer, Dr John Littell. Littell, an Ocala family physician, also told the Daily Beast six other doctors among 800 to 900 participants at the event also tested positive or developed Covid-19 symptoms.
