Is Texas Ready for Beto 4.0?

Robert Francis 'Beto' O'Rourke says he's not ruling out a 2026 Senate run, telling an interviewer that he's busy holding town hall meetings, and urging Democrats to become more "ruthless" in pursuit of power. The man is obviously running for something because he's always running for something. The son of a politician in Texas, the fourth-generation Irish-American has been seeking elective office for two decades. He was a local official in El Paso for years, then ran for Congress, getting elected for three terms. That's when his higher ambitions really entered full bloom. He became Democrats' US Senate nominee against Sen. Ted Cruz in 2018,

Well, I guess when you don't have an actual JOB, you can keep tilting at windmills every few years. I think his wife's family is loaded, so he can just keep running and running and running... What would be any different about this version of the man-child that is the Beto??

Every version of Beto has been a veritable dumpster fire. Swapping dumpster fires could have some merit, though. What would you say to trading him for Gruesome Newsom, straight up?

Beavis O'Dork running for Senate against Senator Ted Cruz or Beto Pednejo running against Governor Abbott matters not. Going from "I'm not against people having guns 'properly stored'" to "H3ll yeah, I'm coming for your guns"! doesn't play in Texas. He needs to move to Taxifornia and he would be welcomed over that lizard king Governor Screw'em

At Wednesday’s White House press briefing, CNN’s Kaitlan Collins tried—and failed—to push a tired narrative about Trump and Russia. This time, she set her sights on Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, insinuating that Gabbard only declassified damning evidence about the Russia collusion hoax to get back in President Trump’s good graces. Bad move. Collins opened by pointing to the 2017 Senate Intelligence Committee report, claiming it proved Russian meddling and insisting Gabbard’s new disclosures were somehow politically motivated and meant to curry favor with President Trump.

Dealing with the Russia hoaxers is not just a matter of trying to bring Obama, Hillary Clinton, Brennan, Clapper, and Comey to justice. That will be hard enough in itself, given the certainty that the media will turn the facts around and insist that it is Trump and Tulsi Gabbard who are threatening “our democracy” by trying to show that truly no one is above the law, (Snip) April Falcon Doss, who is currently the general counsel for Trump’s National Security Agency, “previously worked for Senate Democrats on their discredited probe attempting to tie Trump to Russia and has a history of partisan anti-Trump activism.”

Former President Joe Biden has reportedly sold his presidential memoirs. According to the Wall Street Journal, Biden sold the book to Hachette Book Group, with Little, Brown and Company set to publish it. Biden is reportedly getting $10 million for the book. While a $10 million advance might sound impressive at first glance, it’s actually a paltry payday compared to what other presidents have commanded for their memoirs. In 2017, Penguin Random House shelled out a jaw-dropping $60 million for the combined book rights of Barack and Michelle Obama. Bill Clinton landed $15 million for his 2004 memoir “My Life,”

WASHINGTON — Russian intelligence obtained damaging information about former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s health amid her 2016 presidential campaign — including evidence that she had “psycho-emotional problems” that were being treated with severe sedatives — but Vladimir Putin chose not to release it before that year’s election because he thought the Democrat would win. The astounding revelations were contained in a Sept. 18, 2020, House Intelligence Committee report that reviewed Russia’s influence on the 2016 contest and was declassified and made public Wednesday by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. Russia’s foreign intelligence service, the SVR, “possessed DNC communications that Clinton was suffering from ‘intensified psycho-emotional problems,

Most of the economic indices they point to are on the upswing.

An illegal alien has been accused of killing 18-year-old Hallie Helgeson in a drunk driving crash in Dane County, Wisconsin, as well as seriously injuring Helgeson’s longtime boyfriend, 19-year-old Brady Heiling. Noelia A. Martinez, a 30-year-old illegal alien with a history of drunk driving, has been arrested and charged with second-degree homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle, second-degree homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle with prohibited alcohol concentration, drunk driving, and knowingly operating a vehicle on a revoked license, among other charges. On July 20, Martinez was allegedly drunk driving when she crashed into Hallie and Brady, who were in Brady’s Volkswagen Tiguan.

Netflix has announced it will not renew its $100 million deal with the insufferable Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, aka, The HarryMeg. A quick rundown of the planet healing itself… No more federally-funded corporate welfare to the tune of about a billion dollars in taxpayer money for PBS and NPR. No more left-wing affirmative action to the tune of $40 million in annual losses at CBS to keep smarmy Stephen Colbert’s Late Show on the air. And now, Netflix has put an end to the $100 million in woke affirmative action set up for the HarryMeg. Anyone tired of winning yet?

When Hamid Moghadam, CEO of San Francisco-based Prologis — the largest industrial real estate firm in the world — sounded the alarm in a recent Bloomberg interview that “construction costs are going to go up radically... all of this immigration stuff is putting more pressure on construction,” he wasn’t just talking dollars and cents. He was exposing the dirty secret about California’s construction labor market that Democrats have spent decades covering up. For too long, California Democrats have gaslit the public, claiming illegal immigration fills jobs “Americans won’t do.” The truth? Illegal immigration props up a rigged system that actively shuts out legal American workers.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released further evidence Wednesday morning, which she claims shows the Obama administration's direct involvement in the 2016 post-presidential election Russia hoax. Gabbard, describing the plot as the "most egregious weaponization and politicization of intelligence in American history," posted a series of lies which have, in her view, been debunked by declassifying a 2020 House Intelligence Committee report. The report was an assessment of how the Obama administration manufactured a January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment, which portrayed Russia as having influenced the 2016 election in favor of Donald Trump. That assessment was "false," Gabbard writes,

As we now know, thousands of documents and pardons weren’t signed by then-President Joe Biden during his disastrous tenure—they were “signed” by a robotic autopen. Both the House Oversight Committee and the White House Counsel’s Office are currently investigating whether they are all legal, considering Ole Joe may not have even known that certain measures were being autographed in his name. At least one senator doesn’t believe the pardons will stand up to legal scrutiny, and he wants to kill two birds with one stone: challenge them in court, and charge former Chief Medical Advisor to the President and serial fabulist Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Matt covered this Monday. In a shocking incident, a Delta pilot had to inform passengers and apologize for an aggressive maneuver he made to avoid a potential mid-air collision with a B-52 bomber. “Sorry about the aggressive maneuver. It caught me by surprise,” the Delta pilot said, which was captured on video. “This is not normal at all. I don’t know why they didn’t give us a heads up.” [Tweet, video] Predictably, this near-miss made headlines all over the country. To recap, just months ago, a mid-air collision between a military helicopter and a commercial airliner occurred over the Potomac River in Washington, D.C, killing everyone on board.

Barack Obama has broken his silence on calls from Donald Trump for him to be prosecuted by unequivocally rejecting his successor’s accusations that he tried to engineer a “coup” following Trump’s 2016 election victory by “manufacturing” evidence of Russian interference. Obama’s office took the unusual step of issuing an emphatic refutation after Trump told reporters that his predecessor had “[tried] to lead a coup” against him and was guilty of “treason” over intelligence assessments suggesting that Russia had intervened to help Trump defeat Hillary Clinton in the campaign. “Out of respect for the office of the presidency,

I was a kid during the Watergate hearings in 1973 and 1974, after Richard Nixon's historic landslide re-election. I wasn't too interested in politics at that point - I was 12 - but my Dad made me sit and watch all the coverage with him, admonishing me that "this is history being made." This is the same man, mind you, who a year or two later made me read Aristotle's "Organon" - then quizzed me on it afterward. But I suspect my interest in politics began with Watergate, with that historic event. Now, we're seeing an equally historic event. And the legal wranglings are beginning: On Wednesday

Ghislaine Maxwell is assembling “new evidence” to present to the feds when she meets with them this week, her brother told The Post. Jeffrey Epstein’s madame never gave her version of events to federal prosecutors before her 2021 trial, which resulted in a 20-year sentence for recruiting women and underage girls for Epstein to sexually abuse. She also never testified in her own defense. “She will be putting before that court material new evidence that was not available to the defense at her 2021 trial, which would have had a significant impact on its outcome,” Ian Maxwell told The Post in an email Wednesday.

HBO Max previously held the streaming rights to the show. Paramount has, instead, aired South Park original films on its streaming service.

The federal government has awarded a contract to build and operate a sprawling tent camp at Fort Bliss, an Army base in Texas, to serve as an immigrant detention center. In the Trump administration’s latest move to vastly expand space for such detention, the work would turn the base in El Paso, with more than 1 million acres and an airport, into a deportation hub with 5,000 beds. That would make it the largest immigration detention facility in the country. An official for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement said that the agency “is indeed pursuing all available options to expand bedspace capacity.

Barack Obama wants you to think he had nothing to do with the Russia collusion hoax, but that lie is unraveling fast. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has declassified a trove of documents that expose how the Obama administration faked the January 2017 intelligence report to falsely accuse Trump of colluding with Russia. The evidence includes a 2020 House Intelligence Committee report, which confirms that despite no cyber interference from Russia, Obama pushed for a new intelligence community assessment (ICA) in late 2016 to shape a narrative that Putin was helping Trump. It was all part of a desperate attempt to undermine a duly elected president.
