NBC is clutching their pearls as Texas AG Ken Paxton celebrates dozens of victories for his endorsed state candidates who primaried Bush-supported Republicans. Additionally, his endorsements and support for the challengers in Texas has led to an additional ten runoff elections, including the potential removal of Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan who led impeachment proceedings against him. The media uses terms like “revenge” and “anger,” however, most of the MAGA coalition smile and think of Paxton as the leading candidate to be nominated by President Trump for U.S Attorney General next year. Yeah, this article is buckets of awesome.

Whenever a wrong is righted some will feel vindicated, some will feel they have been the victim of revenge. However, people must be held accountable for their actions and there is nothing wrong with that. In fact, we could use more of it in this country.

The forces of PACs fighting over candidates is the hallmark of the March 5th primary in Texas. Various factions were at war with each other, picking and choosing to support and "endorse" candidates base solely upon whether or not they represented certain positions or not based on pro or con positions they hoped candidates would carry water for in the next Legislature. There were the Paxton supporting PACs who seemingly were ONLY concerned with getting even with those in the Texas House who had voted to allow an investigation into AG Paxton in an impeachment inquiry. The who thing was not done with due process as had been previously done, and appeared to be a "hit job" by Lt. Governor Dan Patrick. Paxton candidates were often opposed by those 'endorsed' by Lt. Governor Patrick, Governor Abbott 'endorsed' candidates who supported the idea of the school taxes paid allowing parents to pick the best school for their children to attend where the money paid followed the student. Various PAC tied to those attempting to infiltrate the Republican Party of Texas at the local level to upend local control of the political landscape attempted to pait certain candidates as "members of the Austin SWAMP" or Nikki supporters. Those supporting the notion of Texas seceeding from the United States also supported certain candidates hoping to make them lackeys for their cause as opposed to looking at a broad range of issues not so narrowly focused. Various mailers flooded mailboxes from DUBIOUS political groups MASQUERADING as some sort of legitimate organization to lend support to THEIR candidates and slam others. One such group was the "Trump Texas" group who did the most mud slinging with spurrious charges. President Trump personally endorsed only a very FEW candidates, one of them being David Covey against Speaker Dad Phelan who put demonrats into committee Chairmanships who blocked issues in committee or never let them come to the calendars committee for discussion and voting. Do not be deceived by these "shadow groups" using President Trump's name and image to confuse the voter!

The Bushies are not republicans. They are one world government globalists. I hope they live to see their policies and beliefs end up in the septic tank of history. I'm sorry to say I voted for both of them. Had the democrats put up someone who wasn't a corrupt socialist, there may have been a better choice.

Ah, politics Texas style! The ghost of LBJ arises. LBJ was utterly ruthless and didn't take prisoners or provide aid and comfort to the enemy (Both Dem and Rebublican). Some might call it 'frontier justice'. Love that one Rebublican has come out fighting and has a plan for the shape of Texas legislature and judiciary. Be nice to see a vision like that by the RINOs herding in DC

Yes #9 but bottom line, the wind beneath our Paxton’s political wings is the awesome power of Trump’s leadership and MAGA. It makes a difference. Paxton has power AMMO to fight Bush-Rove Uniparty globalist money based in Texas. It’s the first time their money CANNOT overwhelm what conservative active base of the GOP is demanding. Every other time, the Texas GOP power structure hates conservatives whilst taking our donations and making empty campaign promises. I would not call what is happening with Texas politics now revenge by Paxton. I call it the Bush-Rove globalists posing as Texas-loving conservatives ruse coming to an end ! It’s a well-deserved end!

Now in general election mode, former President Donald J. Trump is playing three-dimensional chess against a sitting president who can barely manage to play checkers as his controlling staff shouts out which pieces to move. Former President Trump just demonstrated his mastery of campaign tactics, geo-political implications, and winning domestic policy by inviting Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban to Mar-a-Lago this past Friday for a wide-ranging meeting. In one fell swoop Trump sent a strong signal to our allies and adversaries alike; fired a shot across the bow of the failing White House, Biden campaign, and the Deep State;

Former president confirms to Just the News he authorized sending 10,000 troops days in advance of Jan. 6 and that Secret Service told him he couldn't go to Capitol that day. Former President Donald Trump claimed vindication Monday after new evidence released by Congress undercut two sensational claims Democrats made about him during the Jan. 6 investigation, including that he tried to commandeer his Secret Service vehicle that day to go to the Capitol and never offered National Guard troops for extra protection ahead of the fateful event. “These were made-up, fabricated stories,” Trump told Just the News in an exclusive interview.
Europe: Fear of the Elephant and Its Mahout 4 replies

European dislike for the person of Trump, who is cast as the antithesis of the Davos-approved globalist worried about global warming, not interested in chest-beating about Palestine, and demanding that others not treat the US as a "room service" reachable by pressing a button, is running shivers down many spines in Paris and Berlin among other places. This is why many Europeans prefer to see the Democrat donkey rather than the Republican elephant in the room. They miss the fact that the absent, that is present in the room, is neither the elephant nor the donkey but the leviathan.

Trying to convince people is an endless quest, that’s why it is better to just lay out the truth without agenda, then wait until the predictable pressure builds and it just floats to the surface and people find it.

Then, suddenly, things from last year in California will start to make sense.

Former President Barack Obama has said he’s “all in” for President Joe Biden’s re-election effort. But a question nagging at many Democrats is what role his popular spouse might play. Democrats nervously looking ahead to November say they want to see Michelle Obama playing a bigger role in the campaign. Some even whisper about the possibility that she might replace a politically hobbled incumbent on the 2024 ticket this summer — making her a fantasy candidate for members of both parties, albeit for different reasons.

In a 9-0 decision, the Supreme Court ruled states cannot use section 3 of the 14th Amendment to kick Donald Trump off state ballots over his alleged “insurrectionist” actions on Jan. 6, 2021. Learning that state officials aren’t empowered to simply toss leading presidential candidates off ballots came as a great surprise to many incredulous left-wingers. Once you’ve convinced yourself Trump led a Hitlerian putsch that nearly overthrew democracy, every crackpot legal theory aimed at stopping him sounds not only morally justified but legally sound.

Biden family whistleblower Tony Bobulinski sued for defamation Democrats’ star witness in the Jan. 6 Committee’s show trials. Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide to Donald Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, famously testified two years ago that President Trump tried to violently hijack a security limousine and drive himself to the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. The sources she cited at the hearing almost immediately went on record to contradict her sworn testimony. Legacy networks NBC, CBS, and CNN reported Hutchinson’s sources were prepared to go under oath to testify that her claims were false.

Very Important Columnists Tom Schaller and Paul Waldman just released their book White Rural Rage, about flyover Americans and their support for Donald Trump. They’re doing rounds through the Democrat media circuit to plug it. One of those fun little appearances happened on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” It’s hard to put into words just how delusional and dishonest the segment was — as in, every single word. These highfalutin “journalists” have their heads so far up their own keisters, they wouldn’t know the honest truth if it introduced itself by name and punched them in the face.

Their goal, Galanis said, “was to make billions, not millions.” Access to Vice President Biden, according to House testimony, was one of their primary products sold to foreign businessmen. “Our business included the acquisition of an 85-year-old Wall Street firm, Burnham and Company,

Have you noticed that President Biden’s hold on his core constituencies is more uncertain these days than his stumbling attempts to board Air Force One? Biden’s abundant weaknesses give President Trump and his campaign a target-rich atmosphere where they can tempt people who usually vote for Democrats to vote differently. Teachers, for example, usually vote for Democrats. Mr. Trump can sway many of them this year by promising to remove an unnecessary burden from public education.

Americans sprang forward Sunday in the controversial annual tradition of daylight saving time, prompting over a dozen senators to re-up their push to “lock the clock” and make the change permanent. “We’re ‘springing forward’ but should have never ‘fallen back.’ My Sunshine Protection Act would end this stupid practice of changing our clocks back and forth,” Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) said last week as he renewed his efforts to end the practice. Back in 2022, a bill sponsored by Rubio — the Sunshine Protection Act of 2021 — cleared the Senate via unanimous consent. Several senators later indicated they didn’t realize what they were supporting at the time

His administration has grown increasingly unhappy with the mounting civilian death toll, now at more than 30,000, in Gaza from bombings and ground operations.

His plan, released on Monday, will serve as important message to voters as he seeks to reassure them about his stewardship of the economy and his plans to lower the deficit. It will also serve as a contrast between his vision for the country and that of his rival Donald Trump.

Trust is foundational in relationships, whether between individuals or between individuals and institutions. A Gallup survey from last summer found, “Americans’ faith in major societal institutions hasn’t improved over the past year following a slump in public confidence in 2022.” (snip) Doctors, hospitals, and healthcare systems used to be held in high esteem, but no more. Aren’t these the “experts” in white coats? What happened to that trust? Why do only 1 in 3 Americans trust what was once a sacred healing profession? (snip) What is interesting is the partisan divide, with Democrats far more trusting in medical instructions than Republicans.

Women's professional golf tour, NXXT Golf, has changed its eligibility criteria to only allow biological female players to compete after transgender golfer Hailey Davidson sparked backlash for winning on the circuit. Davidson, 30, who was born in Scotland but now lives in Florida, won the NXXT Women's Classic at Mission Inn Resort and Club near Orlando in January. The victory allowed the Scot to take a step closer to the LPGA with the NXXT awarding its top five players with exemptions to the Epson Tour - a step below the top tier of the women's game.
