Did Republicans Put a Senate Seat in Play
in TX?

Spoiler alert: Naaah. But it's certainly fun to fantasize. Yes, John Cornyn may have been a slightly safer bet than Ken Paxton in a general election. Given the relative difference between how the two would have voted over the next six years, the gain from nominating Paxton probably doesn't justify the assumed risk of dethroning the incumbent Cornyn. It might take more money to fight for the seat in the general election, but that assumes that Democrats would have left Texas alone had Cornyn eked out a win over Paxton. In the end, though, Texas is Texas,

Dumb people are crowing over the fact that Byron Allen’s Comics Unleashed drew only 878,000 viewers, which is less than the 2.15 million his oh-so sacred predecessor, Stephen Colbert, drew on average.
Welcome to today’s episode of Retards Who Don’t Understand Business.
Before we get to the specifics, allow me to use an example to try to explain basic economics. Okay, let’s say you and your neighbor open competing restaurants…
You spend $1.50 to make a hamburger, and you sell 50 of those burgers for $2.50 a piece.
Are you dumb people still with me? This is about to get tricky…

Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt's leftist opponents are not happy with how his campaign has taken off.
Listen to how upset the Los Angeles city council member Nithya Raman is about the amazing ads supporters have been putting out that have so animated Pratt's campaign.
Raman tried to claim Pratt was promoting his campaign with AI videos, and that was "deeply insulting" to the industry and workers. Interviewer Elex Michaelson then brings her up short, telling her these are videos by supporters, not made by Pratt. That just killed her argument, big time. She knows it, and she tries to shift to another attack.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) carried out dozens of coordinated airstrikes against Iran alongside the United States and Israel during the conflict with Tehran — including strikes on strategic energy and military infrastructure that reportedly continued even after the April ceasefire announcement — according to a report published Friday.
The Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter, reported the Emirati role in the campaign was far deeper than previously publicly known, with Abu Dhabi allegedly launching attacks from the opening days of the conflict while coordinating closely with Washington and Jerusalem, both of which reportedly provided intelligence support for the operations.
A White House official told Breitbart News Friday evening that President Donald Trump will only make a deal with Iran that “satisfies his redlines” following a Situation Room meeting held midday.
In a statement to Breitbart News, a White House official said the meeting lasted about two hours.
“The Situation Room meeting has concluded and lasted approximately two hours. President Trump will only make a deal that is good for America and satisfies his redlines. Iran can never possess a nuclear weapon,” the official said.
Democrat Texas candidate for U.S. Senate James Talarico in 2024 labeled those who advocate for private school vouchers as Christian Nationalists.
Talarico was speaking during the South by Southwest event in Austin, Texas, when he claimed, “Part of this Christian Nationalist movement is trying to pass these things called private school vouchers.”
“If you’re not an education policy person you may have never heard of this, but essentially it’s an effort to take tax dollars out of our public schools, which are underfunded as they are. Texas is 43rd in the nation in per-student education funding. So, it’s taking dollars
In a remote Chinese desert, a vast military complex is taking shape that some security scholars say appears built to ensure no American first strike on China’s nuclear arsenal could reliably knock out Beijing’s ability to hit back.
China’s nuclear missiles can already reach any city in the United States. Now, satellite images reviewed by Reuters show Beijing is building a sprawling web of launch pads, bunkers and communications nodes near the isolated nuclear silos that hold the Chinese military’s longest-range missiles.
Police in Fairfax County, Va., responded to a “swatting” attempt at the home of Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett on Wednesday evening, authorities have confirmed to National Review.
“Yesterday evening at approximately 9:02 p.m., officers responded to a swatting call at the residence of U.S. Supreme Court Justice in Fairfax County,” county police said in a statement to NR. Swatting refers to the practice of making false emergency calls to draw a heavy police response.
“The call was received through the department’s non-emergency line,” the statement adds. “Officers immediately coordinated with Supreme Court Police personnel assigned to the residence
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is on leave because she just had a baby. So in her absence, they have occasionally been subbing in some of the Trump administration officials to handle the briefing with the press corps.
We've seen both Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance have a go at it, and they did a good job dealing with the chaos and responding to the questions.
Thursday was Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's turn. As we reported, among the subjects he addressed was Iran and how they were not going to be allowed to put in any kind of a charging system
After weeks of speculation, CBS News under Bari Weiss has made some big changes to the team at 60 Minutes -- firing the executive producer Tanya Simon, as well as correspondents Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega. Draggan Mihailovich, the executive editor of the show, was also fired, as was Matthew Polevoy, a senior producer. They announced a new executive producer -- Nick Bilton, a former New York Times technology columnist who has made documentaries for HBO and Netflix. The New York Times typically dissed their former co-workers for being inexperienced: “Ms. Weiss, an opinion journalist with no prior experience in television,”
As we reported, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) has reportedly been reached by negotiators between Iran and the U.S., but it hasn't been approved by President Donald Trump. We'll keep you apprised on that, but so far, the White House hasn't confirmed anything.
Iran was trying to float a fake MOU that the White House had called out the day before, but this new report was allegedly based on U.S. officials and not Iran. In any event. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent explained that Operation Economic Fury had led to some big consequences in Iran and more was on the way. Their economy was in "free fall," Bessent explained. Their troops

Mojtaba Khamenei has not approved a drafted 60-day memorandum of understanding with the US, which is why President Donald Trump has also not agreed to a deal, a source familiar with the matter told The Jerusalem Post on Thursday.
This follows a Thursday Axios report that negotiators from the US and Iran have reached an agreement on a memorandum of understanding to extend the ongoing ceasefire.
The proposed MoU would last 60 days and kick-start negotiations toward a final agreement on Iran’s nuclear program, the report continued, citing two US officials.
In effect, there may be an understanding among
As hard as it may be for MS NOW justice and intelligence reporter Ken Dilanian to understand, Republicans are still not happy about the FBI downplaying the partisan motivations of the 2017 congressional baseball shooter. Therefore, when the agent involved in that conclusion was fired on Wednesday, Dilanian took to the air to claim the agent was just the latest in a string of FBI officials sacked for “simply doing their job.”
First, Dilanian joined Ana Cabrera Reports and had a hard time understanding why anyone would even consider the original conclusion controversial,

Tom Morello, an activist and guitarist of Rage Against the Machine, announced Wednesday he organized a protest festival to take place at Merriweather Post Pavilion on Oct. 3. in Columbia, Maryland.
“The mantra of the show is a very clear one,” Morello told the Washington Post in an interview. “It is a show about peace, love, justice and music.”
Career anti-Trump agitator Bruce Springsteen will be there to add his crying left-wing protests ahead of the mid-terms.
So too fellow travelers Foo Fighters, Dave Matthews, Joan Baez, Brittany Howard of Alabama Shakes, Jack Black and others will come together for Morello’s festival.
On Memorial Day, Minnesota Democrat officials, including Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, dumped the troops and headed to the eyesore known as ‘George Floyd Square’, an epicenter of the BLM riots, to groove along with the ‘Brass Resistance Band’ and a DJ in honor of the fallen violent criminal who had died of a drug overdose while resisting arrest.
“Today, we remember George Floyd,” Mayor Frey tweeted. “The weight of what happened is still with our city six years later – and the responsibility to keep moving forward together is too. I know we can keep building a Minneapolis that is safer, more accountable, and more worthy
Two Minnesota fraudsters allegedly swindled more than $21 million in funding earmarked for autism services through two bogus companies and then spent it lavishly on overseas property, officials said.
Shamso Ahmed Hassan, 55, and Hanaan Mursal Yusuf, 25, whose mugshots were released on Wednesday, made off like bandits by submitting millions of dollars in fake claims to Minnesota’s Early Intensive Development and Behavioral Intervention Program [EIDBI] between May 2020 and December 2024, authorities said.
The pair enrolled two companies co-owned by Hassan — Smart Therapy Center LLC and Star Autism Center LLC —
Democrats are shaking their heads in disbelief at the timing of Jill Biden’s memoir and her change in tone about Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance.
The party would rather talk about the high cost of living and increased gas prices under President Trump, Democrats told The Post, rather than relive the debate around Joe Biden’s cognitive health.
“We need this as much as we need a hole in the head,” Jim Manley, a Democratic strategist who worked in the Senate for years, said. Jill Biden’s confessional about her concerns over the former president’s health is dropping as the party fights to win control of Congress in November.
CBS News Editor-in-Chief continues draining the woke swamp at the long-compromised Sunday news program, 60 Minutes.
The Gateway Pundit has documented for years how ’60 Minutes’ repeatedly targeted conservatives and President Trump with one-sided hit pieces while giving Democrats and their allies soft-glove treatment.
The show’s credibility collapsed further after the disastrous Kamala Harris interview that triggered a major lawsuit and exposed its activist bent.
Bari Weiss, who famously walked away from The New York Times over its radical leftward lurch and cancel culture, is now applying the same standards at CBS.

Refers to Women as ‘Neighbors with a Uterus’ 14 replies
Texas state Rep. James Talarico, the Democrat running against Republican state Attorney General Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate race, has referred to women as “neighbors with a uterus” on more than one occasion.
The Democrat used the expression while lamenting Roe v. Wade being overturned, which brought the issue of abortion back to the state level.
“Every one of our neighbors with a uterus became property of the state,” he claimed.
In another clip, the Democrat talks about how “neighbors with a uterus” should be able to “control their own body” – leftist code for murdering their unborn child without repercussions.
There is a bizarre controversy out of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, where a federal judge has been reprimanded for engaging in repeated, loud sexual encounters during office hours in chambers with a police officer. (snip) Ironically, among the clues about the judge’s identity, the order mentions that the judge attended the “victory party for a District Attorney” in 2024, the night before “the judge’s summer interns’ first day.” The Georgia primary was on May 21, 2024, and the date coincides with the victory party for Fani Willis,
We’re a long way out from 2028 — we’re not even through the midterms yet — but modern-day political campaigns are never-ending, and already pundits are speculating on who will succeed Donald Trump as president.On the GOP side, most of the money is on either Vice President JD Vance or Secretary of State Marco Rubio earning the nomination, with some conservatives dreaming of a joint ticket.
Over on Team Democrat, meanwhile, the field is unclear, mostly because it’s so bad. They seemingly have no Bill Clinton or Barack Obama to jump out of the woodwork and inspire the base. California Gov. Gavin Newsom arguably gets the most press,
A Virginia high school graduation descended into chaos when a spectator rushed the stage and attacked a student who was walking to receive his diploma.
Evan J. Williams Jr., 20, was arrested Thursday and charged with disorderly conduct and damage to private property in connection with the brawl that broke out during John Marshall High School’s graduation ceremony at Virginia Commonwealth University, according to police.
A 12-second viral video of the violence posted on Facebook shows the moment several attendees began to fight on the students’ special day in front of shocked family members just before 11 a.m. Wednesday at the school’s Siegel Center.

According to court records, I have two children. Because I’m so gosh-darn manly, both my children are boys. (‘Cause that’s how genetics works.) Therefore, I’ve never had to give my kids “the talk” — but I have plenty of friends and relatives with adolescent girls, so I know how “the talk” goes:
“Honey, sit down. It’s time you learned the truth. You have to be careful out there, because boys your age are only after… one thing. It’s all they care about!”
Yeah: That one thing is raising children.
It’s one of the strangest, most unexpected evolutions in modern politics. Almost no one saw it coming: Gen Z men and Gen Z women
CBS unexpectedly defended its decision to pull "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert" off air, revealing in a statement Thursday that the show was losing approximately $40 million a year. (snip) the program was merely being replaced with two back-to-back episodes of Byron Allen’s “Comics Unleashed” instead.
Allen's program is a "time buy," meaning that Allen is paying CBS $15 million to rent the air time, but will keep all ad revenue for himself. (snip) “With this ‘time buy’ model, we have shifted an hour that was losing roughly $40 million annually to $15 million in profit — a $55 million swing.”

Congress after judge orders his name removed

President Trump declared Friday that he has “no interest in continuing” to oversee operations and renovations at the Kennedy Center – and will move to transfer those responsibilities to Congress – after a federal judge ordered his name to be removed from the performing arts venue.
District Judge Christopher Cooper ruled that within 14 days all physical signage bearing Trump’s name must be removed from the building and all references to a “Trump Kennedy Center” must be eliminated from official materials, in response to a lawsuit by Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio), who is an ex-officio member of the institution’s board.
