Good News: Dan Crenshaw loses Primary
– Cornyn and Paxton Advance to Runoff

Original Article

Posted By: earlybird, 3/4/2026 1:29:57 PM

Texas DeceptiCON Dan Crenshaw, aka “one-eyed McCain”, a man of notoriously arrogant and intemperate disposition, has lost the Texas CD02 primary race to Steve Toth. Mr Toth won 56% of the primary vote, so there will not be a runoff. At the conclusion of this year, the perpetually horrible Dan Crenshaw will no longer be a congressman. Apparently, Crenshaw was blindsided and didn’t see it coming. [SOURCE] (snip)The greater share of Wesley Hunt’s vote is expected to go toward Ken Paxton, setting up the opportunity for the people of Texas to finally remove another DeceptiCON from the Senate.

Glad Crenshaw is gone. Hopefully, Cornyn will be defeated May 26 runoff. Al Green forced into a runoff. Al Green is ignorant and crazy, his opponent will vote the same. Glad to see Huffines is the new Texas Comptroller, the prior one too DIE. We will see who wins the Attorney General and Railroad Commissioner runoff May 26.

So if Dan Huffines becomes controller does that mean the state can't accept bids for Chevrolets as state vehicles? Or is he a different branch of the "Huffines Chevrolet" family?

In a fair election, Ken Paxton will win decisively. However, the Deep State RINOs will do whatever it takes to keep Cornyn.

None of this matters. The rino's in the senate are not ever going to pass the Save Act. They are spineless scum and the Republican Party is dead and will lose all progress that has been made in the next election because of their cowardice. They killed it long ago and as of 2026 this very solid conservative will not vote for a single republican. I am planning on voting for every left wing libtard on the ballot in the hopes they all get elected and the Republican Party burns to the ground. Only then will there ever be a chance to revive a conservative party that represents the people, not themselves. No more voting for the Romneys, McCains, McConnell, Tillis or Thunes.

Trump needs to tread lightly on pushing for liberal republicans to be elected to congress! We are sick to death of Cornyn and Cassidy taking our votes and working against us. Paxton and Fleming (not Letlow) are the best candidates to REPRESENT the constituents in Texas and Louisiana.

Conservatives in Texas have been trying to get rid of Cornyn for years. The establishment always spends millions to bail him out, or they run someone to split the opponents vote, as they did this time supporting Hunt, and if that don't work, they will indict Paxton in Austin for whatever they can make up. Expect ethical complaints against Paxton, moral charges, reminders that he is divorced, he don't feed his dog, and he put a cabinet top in his house with taxpayer funds. They tried impeachment, but that didn't work. Expect inappropriate behavior charges. The establishment will do anything to defeat Paxton, including keeping the polls open for days, stuffing the ballot box, or throwing away Paxton ballots. Because of all this, I will be voting for Paxton regardless of any Trump endorsements, because this is the only opportunity to ever get rid of Rino Cornyn, who up to now has been unbearable. Just think of what Cornyn would be with this being his last term, due to age.

I am a bit worried about a Paxton vs Talerico match up. I think Paxton would win, but it would be much closer than it has to be. Talerico has the "I'm not a crazy Democrat" shtick down pat, but he's just a Texas version of Abagail Spanburger (the new VA governor) who ran that way and is now more of a leftist than Jasmine Crockett ever dreamed of. I think Talerico might be able to pull enough establishment Republicans and moralistic Republicans (Paxton is going through a messy. self-inflicted divorce) if not enough to win outright, then possibly pull a couple Congressional seats to the Dems in Texas. With redistricting and Democrat shenanigans, Texas Republicans need to pull 30 house seats to the party to maintain control of the House of Representatives. I voted Hunt, who would have been a good alternative. I probably will hold my nose and vote for Cornyn in May -- and whoever is the Republican candidate in November. I don't see any plus for Pres Trump to endorse someone in the runoff, but then again, I've noticed that Pres Trump doesn't consult me for advice. Perhaps he can sit down with both candidates and persuade them to settle on one of them, but that might be a tougher problem than the current situation with Iran.

Great news about Crenshaw, good riddance. Now I hope Cornyn the RINO finally gets thrown out, but he has huge corporate corrupt money pushing him. Please Texas, do the right thing. Dump Cornyn.

I'll be very disappointed if Trump endorses Cornyn. He is a RINO at best, who has a penchant for going against conservatives. If he acts like that knowing he would be running for reelection in 2026, just think about what he will do when he no longer has to worry about running for reelection in 2032.

I prefer to take a sure victory over an uncertain defeat. Talarico is a wolf in poorly disguised sheep’s clothing. If elected, he will do a Spanberger and reveal himself as the woke DEI that he is. Ken Paxton carries too much baggage. He has the morals and ethics of an alley cat. If he is on the ticket, liberal money will invade Texas as never before, loudly proclaiming and exposing his sleazy character. Jasmine Crockett even said that she would like to run against Paxton because she could beat him. (FYI, the seminary that Talarico attends is sponsored by the Presbyterian Church (USA) one of the leading liberal denominations from which many conservative congregations are fleeing.) Republican voters have a choice between “standing on principle” to take a chance on a democrat senate or taking the sure win. Half a loaf is better than none. I’m going with the sure thing.

The building of the Assembly of Experts in the Iranian city of Qom was struck on March 3, according to Iran’s semi-official Tasnim News Agency. Senior Israeli security sources told Epoch Magazine Israel that the strike targeted the Assembly of Experts’ building as the 88-member assembly was voting to choose a successor to the slain Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. According to Tasnim News Agency, the building in Qom’s Resalat Square was empty at the time. The Iranian publication reported that other nearby residential buildings and shops were damaged in the attack.

When addressing Greenland’s strategic value within U.S. Arctic defense efforts, President Trump argued that although the European Union and NATO insisted there was no need for American control —promising instead to marshal their combined military strength to defend the territory— he remained skeptical of their assurances. Trump’s remarks were met with swift shock(snip) However, it only took a few weeks for a moment of clarity to surface following the Israeli/U.S. decision to strike Iran and eliminate the long-standing nuclear threat.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton issued a legal opinion on March 2 that says it is illegal for state-licensed mental health care providers to “transition” children. Texas passed Senate Bill 14 in 2023, which banned using “gender-affirming care” procedures such as puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and surgeries to treat gender dysphoria in minors. In Paxton’s opinion, he writes that because SB 14 made it illegal for health care providers to transition children, the law also applies to mental health care providers licensed by the Texas Behavioral Health Council.

The United Nations chief condemned the U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on Iran and called for an immediate return to negotiations “to pull the region, and our world, back from the brink.” Secretary-General António Guterres told an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council on Saturday that everything must be done to prevent further escalation. “The alternative,” he warned, “is a potential wider conflict with grave consequences for civilians and regional stability.” Guterres said the U.S. and Israeli airstrikes violated international law, including the U.N. Charter. He also condemned Iran’s retaliatory attacks for violating the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

Following major backlash about the scheduled release of a serial child molester through California’s elderly parole program, the 64-year-old is now facing new charges that could keep him behind bars. News that David Allen Funston was set to be freed was met by outrage among victims, politicians and others.

The announcement comes after Noem struggled to stand up to a public grilling by members of the Senate Judiciary Committee who pressed the former South Dakota governor on Tuesday about a $220 million ad campaign contract that was subcontracted to one of her longtime allies. Trump was furious at Noem for insisting during the hearing that he had personally approved the contract and began floating Mullin’s name as a potential replacement, National Review first reported early Thursday.

Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens, whether driven by genuine Nazi-level antisemitism or sheer opportunism, have escalated their antisemitic and anti-religious rhetoric. They’ve now gone after Chabad, a Jewish outreach movement that seeks to help all Jews return to the fold through core values. The Tsar’s secret police, who wrote one of the most damaging hoaxes ever—The Protocols of the Elders of Zion—would be proud of these new American descendants. To appreciate just how evil this dastardly duo is, you need to know a little about Chabad. It began 250 years ago in the shtetls of Russia, places where Jews were frequently persecuted

State Rep. James Talarico said just that on Tuesday night — "A little bit of hope is a dangerous thing" — and he meant it as a call to action, a summons to the faithful. But the line lingers in the Texas air for a different reason. Democrats are about to invest a great deal of time, money and, yes, hope in the notion that a young state legislator from Round Rock is the man who will break a nearly four-decade winless drought for his party in the Lone Star State. Hope can animate. It can also delude.
Poll: 57 Percent of Americans Want All
Illegal Migrants Sent Home

Fifty-seven percent of Americans want all illegal migrants sent home, according to a Harvard Harris poll. The 57 percent includes 54 percent of political independents and 79 percent of Republicans, but just 35 percent of Democrats, said the February 26-28 poll of 1,999 registered voters by The Harris Poll and HarrisX. The majority support for mass deportations is notable because it remains strong amid massive resistance by pro-migration politicians, the Democrat establishment, the establishment media, and various pop-culture influencers. The poll also showed 63 percent support for a draft law that would bar the award of commercial driver’s licenses to illegal migrants. Just 40 percent of Democrats favor the curbs.

Something pretty big just went down behind the scenes in the federal government, and it could end up changing the entire illegal immigration game. According to a new report, the Department of Homeland Security appears to be stepping in and taking a more aggressive role in investigating illegal employment inside the United States. And no, they’re not politely coordinating with the IRS. They basically just told them to “take a seat.” DHS is reportedly bypassing the IRS and using its own investigative team to dig into the relationship between employers and illegal workers. For years, everyone avoided this tactic. Why? Because the uniparty knew it would actually break the pipeline,
