Only a little more than half of the current world's 7 billion people are citizens of fully consensual governments. That lucky 50 percent alone enjoys constitutionally protected freedoms. Most are also Western. Or at least they reside in nations that have become "Westernized."
It’s not at all evident right now what "consensus" might look like when it comes to the Democrat Party's current D.C. melt-down between its liberal & radical left factions. But given the rhetoric on "The Hill" these days, we may soon find out that the Democrat's typically more disciplined and team-oriented players have just been slower to break down than expected.
"The State of Texas has made tremendous progress in upholding the integrity of our elections. By increasing penalties for illegal voting, we will send an even clearer message that voter fraud will not be tolerated in Texas," said Gov.

I'm one of the few white conservatives in America who grew up in a majority-black urban city and attended an all-black middle school and all-black high school. So, I grew up with an understanding and appreciation of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and his extraordinary ideas and strategies – in particular, civil disobedience.
Oh Boy – there's more bad news for Democrat turnout & President Joe Biden. By 60%–27% a new YouGov National Poll says "Registered Voters" feel the country is on the wrong track. And there's no issue on which Biden is above water. Among Black Americans – with whom Democrats need to roll up lopsided margins – Biden’s "Job Approval Rating" is only 58% approve, 25% disapprove, with 23% "strongly approving."
“Many (of the illegal) Haitian migrants camped in a small Texas border town are being released in the United States, two U.S. Officials said, undercutting the Biden Administration’s public statements that the 1,000s in the well-known camp faced expulsion,” reported the Associated Press. “Many have been released with notices to appear at an immigration office within 60 days, which requires less processing time from Border Patrol agents,” said the AP.
