Dem Rep. Green: Texas Spends So Much on
Border, Must Take Care of Those Already Here
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 7/12/2025 4:52:48 PM
On Friday’s broadcast of CNN International’s “What We Know,” Rep. Al Green (D-TX) argued that money in the reconciliation bill to reimburse Texas for border security should be reallocated and said that “Texas spends more money on trying to prevent people from getting into the country than it does on taking care of the people who are already in the country. We have to do something to help people in this country.” Green said, “Texas has billions of dollars in a rainy day fund, but did not work to mitigate this disaster. That’s why Texas has billions of dollars in the rainy day fund

Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that people were dying because of “fear and terror” caused by the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement tactics.
Host Dana Bash said, “We learned overnight that a migrant farm worker died after he fell from a roof during ice raids in Ventura County, in your state. Have you been able to talk to the family?”
Padilla said, “I haven’t spoken with the family directly, but I have been in touch with, you know, president of the United Farm Workers Union. I’ve known her for a long time. We’ve been in touch over the last several days.
The man who was on the receiving end of a beating from a former pro hockey player on an Alberta golf course last week is now admitting he was drunk and surly and is apologizing for causing the ruckus that led to the fight.
Last week, a video went viral that showed a man verbally abusing another golfer on Alberta Springs Golf Course in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada, on July 4. The man taking the verbal assault quickly had enough, grabbed the mouthy one, and tossed him in a pond. But when the soaked abuser came at him again, the man popped the rowdy one several times in the face
Police in San Antonio arrested a Texas man Thursday night after he allegedly threatened to assassinate President Donald Trump. The alleged threat was made in a Facebook post, where the man reportedly wrote, “I won’t miss.”
San Antonio police officers arrested 52-year-old Robert Herrera for threatening to assassinate President Trump via a Facebook post. The threat happened three days before the first anniversary of the attack that nearly took the then-presidential candidate’s life.
“I won’t miss,” Herrera wrote on Facebook in response to an article posted by a San Antonio news outlet’s coverage of the president’s planned trip to the Texas Hill Country,

When disaster struck the Texas Hill Country, true American patriots answered the call—not with words, but with action.
Led by combat veteran John Rourke and his nonprofit We Fund the Blue Foundation, a rapid-response mission was launched into Center Point, Texas, one of the communities hardest hit by the recent catastrophic flooding.
Rourke and his team delivered a $20,000 donation directly to the Center Point Volunteer Fire Department, helping them begin the costly process of replacing critical equipment lost in the floodwaters. On top of that, a massive $50,000 worth of donated fire equipment—courtesy of National Marine in Houston, Texas—was delivered to bolster the town’s emergency readiness for future disasters.
Over 400 protests are scheduled to take place in all 50 states against President Donald Trump and his administration on July 17.
The rallies, being called “Good Trouble Lives On,” will take place on the anniversary of the death of Democrat activist and congressman John Lewis. It is a nod to his famous call to action, “Get in good trouble, necessary trouble,” which he used to encourage people to participate in protests.
As with many other recent nationwide days of protest, including the now-infamous “No Kings” day, it is being organized by the 50501 Movement.
The 50501 Movement’s name stands for “50 protests. 50 states. 1 movement.”
Homan Explains 'Reasonable Suspicion'

Dems lost their minds on Friday after White House Border Czar Tom Homan listed "physical appearance" as one -- one -- of the criteria ICE officers and Border Patrol agents can take into consideration when developing reasonable suspicion to briefly detain and question people, accusing Homan of saying that ICE officers and Border Patrol agents can and will detain people simply based on their appearance.
Here's what Homan actually said:
“Look, people need to understand, ICE officers and Border Patrol don’t need probable cause to walk up to somebody, briefly detain them, and question them. They just need totality of the circumstances, right? They just go through the observation,
It happened one year ago today: Around 6:15 PM, Donald Trump was nearly assassinated at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania—a near-fatal headshot missed by mere millimeters. Trump surviving this assassination attempt is nothing short of miraculous, not only because the shooter was so close, but also because his security detail was questionable. One round did clip his ear. The shots came from a rifle fired by Thomas Matthew Crooks, who was perched on an unsecured rooftop less than 400 yards from the main stage. It was a glaring and inexcusable security breach for the United States Secret Service, which recently suspended six agents for their conduct on that day.
For months, the signs have been impossible to ignore: the Democratic Party is in freefall. Poll after poll shows voters turning away in droves—disillusioned by the party’s radical agenda, frustrated by its lack of leadership, and convinced it no longer represents their values. The 2024 elections were a political earthquake, and in the aftermath, Democrats have been left picking through the rubble of a once-dominant coalition. The party’s “next generation” of leaders—Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jasmine Crockett—have all the gravitas of a student council president demanding longer lunch periods and less homework.
So now the question is: What does a broken party do when it’s staring into the abyss?
President Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, is not a man who pulls punches or backs down from confrontation. At the Turning Point Student Action Summit in Tampa, Homan delivered a performance that wasn’t just memorable—it was a masterclass in unapologetic patriotism and unwavering resolve. In an era where the loudest voices often belong to those who have never served or sacrificed for this country, Homan’s response to a heckler was a much-needed reminder of what real leadership looks like.
As Homan took the stage, he made it clear that under the renewed direction of the Trump administration, the days of open borders and lawlessness are over.

Protesters and even California Gov. Gavin Newsom targeted Vice President JD Vance as he visited Disneyland with his family this weekend.
Sharing a video of Vance with his family at the Southern California theme park, Newsom wrote, “Hope you enjoy your family time, @JDVance. The families you’re tearing apart certainly won’t,” in a post on X on Saturday.
Some 100 to 150 protesters gathered outside the gates of the “Happiest Place on Earth” to jeer Vance and his family on Friday and Saturday after his presence at the park was reported, according to the Orange County Register.
A federal judge in Los Angeles is trying to shut down ICE enforcement of the nation’s popular immigration laws on the claim that it is illegally “profiling” people in California.
Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong, of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, issued two restraining orders late on Friday. Frimpong was nominated by President Joe Biden and is the daughter of two immigrants from Ghana. She was selected by both Harvard and Yale universities.[snip]The suspects’ race and ethnicity, their difficulty speaking English, their location at sites known for hiring illegal immigrants, and their class of work do not meet the “probable cause” requirement for arrests, the judge ruled.

People across the political spectrum were outraged this week when President Donald Trump dismissed the importance of the Epstein List. During his campaign, President Trump said, “Yeah, I’d do the Epstein thing. I’d have no problem with it.” Many people voted for President Trump, at least in part, because he promised to release the list. (snip)

Beware ‘Ragebait Engagement Farming’

Cynical Publius, a poster on X, accurately describes for me the fantastical conspiratorial posts this week about Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Jeffrey Epstein records and death as “ragebait engagement farming.” I hate mobs and mob thinking, and I think Bondi has achieved a remarkable courtroom record against a tsunami of judicial insurrection. This week the Department of Justice she heads, for example, just won its 13th Supreme Court victory in six months. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirms that the President is proud of her and considers the “continued fixation or sowing discord on [his] cabinet is baseless and unfounded in reality.

God’s got his back.
One year after President Trump came within an inch of his life after a failed assassination attempt in Butler, Pa., he is more determined than ever to “turn around the ship” — and believes divine intervention is allowing him to do it, his allies told The Post ahead of the July 13 anniversary.
“He told me directly that he believes he was spared by God for the purpose of restoring the nation to greatness, and that he believes deeply that he is protected now by the Lord,” Trump’s longtime political adviser Roger Stone told The Post.
“I also think he gained a sense of urgency,
