Pennsylvania Democrats may still have a Voter Registration advantage – but it's shrunk from 1.2 million in 2008 to just 325,000 today. Since the first assassination attempt on Mr. Trump in July, Republicans in Pennsylvania & North Carolina registered nearly twice as many voters as Democrats during the month of September. And according to new data just released by data experts at The Decision Desk HQ, its a rightward shift that hasn't gone unnoticed. Donald Trump set the tone for the final stretch last weekend when he took to the stage in Butler, PA.
U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) released the following statement commemorating the one-year anniversary of October 7th, the worst one-day massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.

Despite the challenges of working with a Democrat-controlled White House and Senate in 2024, House Republicans have remained steadfast in our mission to uphold conservative values and bring real solutions to the issues facing our nation. I want to take a moment to share with you what we have been fighting for and accomplishing on behalf of the American people. Here are some key highlights of what we have achieved.
"No country faces the daily onslaught of missiles fired on it like Israel does. No country faces daily terrorist attacks like Israel does," said Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, delivering his remarks last night at the Jewish Federation of Greater Dallas' October 7th commemoration ceremony honoring more than 1,200 victims whose lives were tragically taken by Hamas last October 7th. View Gov. Abbott's full remarks at the ceremony here.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton secured a major win protecting the rights of Texas hospitals and doctors to refuse to provide abortions that are prohibited by State law. The Supreme Court of the United States (“SCOTUS”) declined to hear arguments in a case seeking to overturn an injunction preventing the Biden-Harris Administration from enforcing unlawful abortion guidance. As a result, an injunction will remain in place.
Just watched "Meet The Press" – which likely means I hate myself. That said, I can see why their ratings are down, as host Kristen Welker seems obsessed with something no one outside the green rooms of cable news give a damn about: January 6th. The left is so committed to the lie that the Capitol Hill riot was “the greatest assault on our democracy since the Civil War,” but no one with an IQ larger than their shoe size buys it.
Just days after Hamas massacred 1,200 people in Israel on October 7th, 2023, the Biden-Harris White House let the United Nation’s Missile & Long-Range Drone Embargo on Iran expire. That decision allowed Iran to freely supply missiles and drones to their proxies – to U.S. adversaries – without international restrictions. Since then, Iran has directly attacked Israel twice, and Israel continues to fight Iranian proxies in Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen & Iraq.
Before securing this victory for the Lone Star State, Sen. Cruz teamed up with Sen. John Cornyn to send a letter to President Biden yesterday urging him to approve the Bridge 4/5 presidential permit application submitted by Southwebb Bridge Company in Webb County, Texas to bolster trade with Mexico, improve supply chain resiliency, and create good paying jobs in Texas.
Since the launch of Texaas' Operation Lone Star, the multi-agency effort has led to over 521,100 Illegal Immigrant Apprehensions and more than 47,400 Criminal Arrests – with more than 41,000 felony charges. In the fight against the fentanyl crisis, Texas law enforcement has seized over 544 million lethal doses of fentanyl – enough to kill every man, woman, and child in the U.S. and Mexico combined during the border mission.
“Blocking our ability to investigate certain election crimes would have been a serious disruption to the electoral landscape – with only a month left before Election Day,” said Attorney General Ken Paxton, as he appealed to the 5th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals a request which has now granted a temporary stay until October 10th. A.G. Paxton has been investigating illegal ballot harvesting under Senate Bill 1, a Texas election integrity law.
CNN recently dropped a bombshell report regarding Vice President Kamala Harris’s run for the White House. According to Harry Enten, their CNN Senior Data Reporter, Harris is headed toward “the worst Democratic performance with union voters in a generation.” For anyone connected to the union community, such a probably feels less like a surprise – and more like a long-overdue confirmation of the obvious.
While raising concerns about “the number of improperly vetted aliens who've illegally crossed the border increasing the likelihood of domestic attacks” after they have been released without identification into neighborhoods across the country, Sen. Ted Cruz ramped up his demand for answers from President Biden's Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas about how many Illegal Border Crossers have been flown into the nation on taxpayers’ dime – posing election year concerns for citizen's safety, and national security.
Governor Greg Abbott today touted Texas’ robust job training programs that provide opportunities for Texans to go into high-demand, good-paying jobs and the impact on the state’s manufacturing industry during a tour with manufacturing students and a press conference at Texas State Technical College (TSTC) in Waco.

"With more than 1.6 million people visiting the Alamo annually, I'm dedicated to working with the City of San Antonio and the Alamo Trust to ensure visitors from all around the world – and for future generations to come – will forever be able to experience and learn about the sacrifices made for liberty at this Sacred Site," said Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham, as she, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, and numerous others spoke this morning at the Construction Kickoff of the Alamo Visitor Center & Museum in San Antonio, Texas.
When Joe Biden became president, the Middle East was calm. Now it's in the midst of a multifront war. So quiet was the inheritance from the prior Trump administration that nearly three years later, on September 29, 2023 – and just eight days before the October 7th Hamas massacre of Israelis – Biden's national security advisor Jack Sullivan could still brag that "The Middle East region is quieter today than it has been in two decades." Their legacy now, will be the current Middle East Disaster.
A staggering 60% of "Likely Voters" in Michigan, Ohio & Wisconsin told the New York Times-Siena Poll conducted Sept. 21-26 that the country is "headed in the wrong direction" – compared to just 31% who said its "on the right track." Residents in Georgia & North Carolina are begging the Biden-Harris White House for help after Hurricane Helene, war is erupting in the Middle East, as illegal immigrants continue to cross the Southern Border and swarm into local neighborhoods across the nation.
“The aftermath of Hurricane Helene left dangerous flood waters and debris that can be life-threatening to people and animals. Our hearts grieve for all Americans who were lost, and Texas will continue to do all we can to help our fellow Americans in this time of need,” said Gov. Greg Abbott, today announcing he has directed the Texas Division of Emergency Management to deploy state emergency response resources to support the state's recovery efforts following a request from North Carolina Emergency Management.
