Texas House Approves Arrest Warrants for
Democrats Who Fled to Illinois to Block
Redistricting Vote

In a bold move to uphold the rule of law and ensure democratic processes aren't hijacked by partisan theatrics, the Texas House has passed a motion to issue arrest warrants for the runaway Democrats who fled to Illinois. These lawmakers abandoned their posts in a desperate attempt to block the adoption of constitutionally redrawn U.S. House maps — maps supported by President Donald Trump and designed to reflect the will of Texas voters. Rather than engage in the legislative process, these Democrats chose to obstruct it, and now face the consequences of their dereliction of duty.

He'd have better luck declaring the seats vacant and appointing replacements long enough to get a quorum.

They already thumbed their noses on today's deadline. Arrest is a great idea. Jessica Tarlov doesn't like it so it has to be fine...

I like the bribery approach. The dims are being compensated for not doing their job for political gain The courts wpuld likely exonerate them but the process is the punishment. Put them through what their comrades put conservatives through - and possibly even bankrupt them.

They've given a slap in the face to the Oath they took and betrayed the voters who had previously trusted them -- looks like the Gov is on top of it, though !

Showing their true colors. Their loyalty is not with their constituents. The slightest hint that they may lose an iota of power and they go off the rails, shove their constituents in the gutter to save themselves. Lock the losers up.

In addition to arrest orders, make the fines daily, so the longer they stay out, the greater the fine. Eventually, they will be forced to come back, and then arrest them at the border.

This is a game Democrats have successfully played for years. My how it all changes when the tables are turned. Let them act like fools. It doesn’t matter. Paxton will use every tool in his arsenal against them and the Liberals have no guarantee of victory in Texas courts. In the meantime the redistricting will happen as planned.

These events remind me of how the FBI finally got Al Capone on tax evasion, not the brutal crimes of which the entire world knew he was guilty. Like Capone, the Texas democrats are guilty of dozens of greater crimes...perjury, embezzlement, treason, racism, communism, humanism, secularism...but by all means, let's jail 'em for whatever sticks.

There is an apocryphal story in military circles that supposedly comes out of North Africa during World War 2. A British Colonel, strolling the docks, is fascinated by the steady stream of American ships unloading: Artillery shells, tanks, trucks, guns, rifle ammo, gasoline, guns, K-rations, medical supplies, fighter aircraft, guns, anti-tank mines, guns, and more guns. American industrial might was well and truly on display, the United States having turned our massive industrial plant to a full war footing. The British Colonel is said to have remarked, "The Americans don't so much solve their problems as overwhelm them." That was then. This is now. And, thanks to years of shipping munitions

President Donald Trump's Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., dropped a bombshell on Tuesday about mRNA vaccines and how they actually prolonged the COVID-19 pandemic. Yes, really. In a video posted on X by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), Kennedy announced that the science has been reviewed, and it shows that the shots forced on the public by the government to supposedly stop the COVID pandemic actually helped cause the variants and caused the pandemic to go on longer. Kennedy announced that the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, or BARDA, after reviewing 22 mRNA vaccine development investments,

An undercover operation in Florida, labeled "Operation Seek and Ye Shall Find Out," led to the arrests of 48 men, including 6 illegal aliens. The sting against child sex predators lasted for six days in Marion County, Florida. The report from the Marion County Sheriff's Office said the men used various social media platforms, including Snapchat and dating apps, to meet children and to coordinate physical meetings. Undercover officers interacted with the men, who believed they were communicating with 13-15 year old children. The alleged predators possessed condoms, guns, alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, and other drugs at the time of their arrests, according to investigators.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott issued a statement warning Democrats who fled the state to deny a quorum for his redistricting push that they have until precisely 3 p.m. Monday to return to their House duties or face removal from office. Abbott, in his statement, cites a 2021 Attorney General opinion (KP-0382) that could let him petition a court to declare their seats vacant. On top of that, he’s dangling the sword of felony charges, alleging their fundraising to cover $500-a-day fines might violate bribery laws. "Real Texans do not run from a fight," Abbott wrote. "But that’s exactly what most of the Texas House Democrats just did."

 The left found and crowned their legal avenger: Jack Smith, their remedy in very fine suits to four years of Trump. In secret clubhouse meetings above their parents' garage, the left whispered reverently about Smith's independence, hailed his stoicism, and grasped him as a firewall between democracy and destruction. The right, however, looked at things differently. They saw Smith as a dogged, smirking prosecutor with a habit of filing charges just before primaries and playing a game of chicken with due process. Both sides, however, agreed on one thing: he was relentless.

If you’re wondering why the Democrats tried so hard to stop Trump from returning to the Oval Office, the past few weeks have made it very clear. The Russia collusion hoax has finally been exposed as the sham it always was—a massive intelligence scandal designed to undermine Donald Trump and to protect Hillary Clinton—all with the consent and coordination of the FBI and high-ranking officials in the Obama administration, including Obama himself. Journalist Matt Taibbi, who was once a contributing editor at Rolling Stone, has put all the recently uncovered pieces of the puzzle together in a damning post on Racket News. “Now, we know,” he writes.

Migrant crossings at Panama’s Darien Gap plunged to nearly nothing in May and June, an important indicator of illegal immigration to the United States. The Darien Gap, situated between Colombia and Panama, serves as one of the world’s primary gateways for would-be illegal aliens hoping to cross the U.S.-Mexico border. This week, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that migrant crossings at the Darien Gap dropped 99.98 percent for May and June of this year compared to crossings in August 2023 — when U.S.-bound illegal immigration through that treacherous jungle had peaked. For example, in a single month under former President Joe Biden, migrant crossings at the Darien Gap exceeded 82,000.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has decided to order a full military occupation of the Gaza Strip to force Hamas to free the hostages, according to local reports. The expansion of the war would see the military, which already controls about 75% of Gaza, take over the remaining areas and conduct operations where the hostages are believed to be held, the Jerusalem Post reported. The move was reportedly made without the input of the Israeli military’s chief of staff Eyal Zamir — with Netanyahu instructing him to fall in line or resign, according to the internal memo sent out.

President Trump has had enough of the out-of-control violent crime in the District of Columbia, not to mention the exceptionally soft sentences being handed to offenders, and is threatening to "federalize" the Democrat-run city if nothing is done to address the problems. This comes after a DOGE staffer was severely beaten when he came to the aid of a woman being attacked by a rampaging mob of teen boys. Trump took to Truth Social to put Democrat Mayor Muriel Bowser and the city council on notice that something needs to be done immediately—and if they won't do it, he will.

The next shoe dropped on Monday in the case of Texas Democrat legislators fleeing to Illinois and New York to deny a quorum, and now a motion to approve arrest warrants has been passed. As RedState reported, 51 Texas Democrats left the state on Sunday in an attempt to stop Republicans from passing a redistricting plan that would conceivably gain the GOP five congressional seats. Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) had been spearheading the plan as a way to combat the gerrymandering in states like California, where an "independent commission" drew lines that gave Democrats 83 percent of the seats despite their vote totals coming in far lower.

Politico published a story yesterday saying that Democrats are counting on a blue wave to carry them back to power next year. Unfortunately for Democrats there are already warning signs that wave may not happen. Recent polling shows Democrats are still struggling to regain their footing with voters who lurched right in 2024, and that’s compounded by growing gaps in fundraising, an increasing number of messy primaries and a congressional map that Republicans are redrawing to make it harder for Democrats to win.

Former president Barack Obama exudes an air of superiority and self-assurance that inspires those to whom he’s speaking to believe everything he says is true. He has spent twenty years leveraging his soaring rhetoric to deceive the easily duped. That’s why it’s no surprise that we are now learning that the former president has tried to harm political opponents by saying one thing publicly and doing the exact opposite in private. Since 2004, America has received warnings from Barack Obama about threats he believes Americans should watch out for, including issues related to democracy, the rise of authoritarianism, free speech, misinformation, election denial, and hyperpartisanship.
