The Washington Post, USA Today, the Los Angeles Times – some of the nation's major Daily Newspapers that routinely give out their stamp of approval to Democrats and liberals during election years – are suddenly deciding to pass on endorsing Democrat Kamala Harris. The choice not to endorse Harris has provoked substantial outrage in liberal Media & Political Circles – but as The Washington Post's owner Jeff Bezos said in a rare public response, the decision is rooted not in partisanship, but in a commitment to genuine independence.

Veteran suicide is a crisis we cannot afford to overlook – especially as the numbers continue to climb. As someone who served alongside many of these brave men & women, I'm committed to ensuring we bring this number down, eventually to zero. The "What Works for Preventing Veteran Suicide Act" is a crucial step toward improving the effectiveness of Suicide Prevention Programs within the Dept. of Veterans Affairs, which will strengthen data collection and transparency to ensure the best use of life-saving resources.
Since the launch of Operation Lone Star, the multi-agency effort has led to over 524,800 illegal immigrant apprehensions and more than 48,200 criminal arrests, with more than 41,600 felony charges. In the fight against the fentanyl crisis, Texas law enforcement has seized over 551 million lethal doses of fentanyl—enough to kill every man, woman, and child in the United States and Mexico combined during this border mission.
Philadelphia Dist. Attorney Larry Krasner on Monday filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk – now one of Donald Trump's most well-know supporters – accusing him of "running an illegal lottery in Philadelphia (as well as throughout Pennsylvania)." The lawsuit underscores the fears that Musk’s activism has generated among Democrats, liberals, various "government officials." Yet at a rally in Lancaster, PA., Musk doubled down on his commitment to Free Speech & Constitutional Values by announcing the 8th winner of his $1 million prizes.
“Texans know how long and burdensome the process to recover and rebuild after a hurricane can be – and we will do everything we can to help our fellow Americans through that," said Gov. Greg Abbott earlier today, announcing that he has directed the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) to deploy additional emergency management personnel to North Carolina to continue supporting Hurricane Helene recovery efforts, following a request from North Carolina Emergency Management.
The numbers don’t lie. Under President Biden & Vice President Harris America’s Borders are wide open – enabling terrorists, violent criminals and drug traffickers to walk right into our country. Their disastrous open-border policies enabled over 2.1 million illegal immigrations to enter our country during Fiscal Year 2024. This staggering number is only surpassed by the two previous years of the Biden-Harris White House. We could never have imagined record-high numbers like this – and Texans are bearing the brunt of their crisis.
Well… it takes a real special kind of person to not understand that energy is the basis of the U.S. Economy – of not only Texas, but the entire United States. Everything from food to clothes and housing construction materials count on energy to be produced – and when you attack fossil fuels, the core of all energy production, and drive up costs like you didn’t know that would happen, you're not just attacking the pocket books of every American and their families, she and the socialist elites could control the basic means of production – and capitalism dies.
President Trump said, “South Texas needs to elect Adam Hinojosa as their next State Senator. Adam will work hard to stop inflation, the invasion at our Southern Border, and the woke left’s desire to destroy children and families. Elect Adam Hinojosa and bring back the Great American Dream. Adam Hinojosa has my Complete and Total Endorsement! Together we will Make America Great Again.”
“The Biden-Harris White House has egregiously weaponized the Justice System against political opponents for the past four years. Now, their Dept. of Justice is selectively targeting Elon Musk’s voter registration drive (in Pennsylvania.) At every turn, the federal government has become adversarial to States trying to protect elections and the Rule of Law in this country,” said Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, as the Biden-Harris Admin refused to cooperate with the AG’s office to ensure non-citizens have not illegally registered to vote in Texas.
October hasn't been a good month for Kamala Harris – or Democrats. The RealClearPolitics average, which only includes polls taken after Oct. 9th, put Harris' dwindling lead last week at 0.8%. After September's polls in the 7 Swing States showed Harris ahead in four of them – mid-October's polls showed her leading in just one, with Trump ahead in four and tied in two. Now Trump's ahead in all seven. If Harris holds a popular vote lead of less than 2%, Nate Silver's well-respected Poll Aggregation Model estimates she has only a 16% chance of winning.
Fueled by recent polling trends that show Donald Trump in a stronger & improving position than just weeks ago – and better positioned today than at the same point during 2016's winning campaign – the rapidly growing concerns among Democrat insiders confirms Mr. Trump has captured the momentum going in the final 10-days of his race against Kamala Harris. The latest polls show just 28% of Americans believe the country is "headed in the right direction" – and voters trust Trump over Harris to handle the single largest issue in the campaign.
Governor Greg Abbott today announced seven dual credit grants totaling more than $1,300,000 have been awarded to Texas independent school districts (ISD) to train students for high-demand, good-paying jobs after graduation.

“It is illegal to engage in Election Fraud, and illegal to obscure one’s identity to flout Election Rules. The Dept. of Justice must take immediate action to prevent illegal conduct in our elections,” said Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, detailing the results of an investigation by his office that revealed how suspicious actors seemingly use ActBlue’s political fundraising platform to make illegal straw donations. The investigation into the largely-Democrat contribution portal began in December 2023 following allegations that the company could be facilitating illegal campaign contributions.
Since the Unclaimed Property Program began in 1962, Texas has returned over $4.8 billion in property to its rightful owners, with Hegar’s team returning almost two-thirds of that in less than 10 years. Hegar’s administration reached $3 billion in unclaimed property returns this month — a milestone composed of more than 6 million individual payments. “I encourage everyone in the Lone Star State to visit ClaimItTexas.gov to see if there's money waiting for them,” said Hegar, whose office has returned a record $422.4 million during 2024.
As Vice President Kamala Harris slips in the polls, the Democratic National Committee, Harris campaign, mainstream media fusion talking points become even more absurd. Claiming that JD Vance and Donald Trump were "weird" did not work --especially given the genuinely odd behavior of vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz and would-be First Gentleman Doug Emhoff. Now Harris asserts that Trump is a "fascist," a "dictator," and "unfit" for office. But this new talking point will also not stop the Harris campaign's hemorrhaging.
