This is it. It’s time. We’ve been waiting four years for this chance to take back our country, and tomorrow it happens. It goes without saying that we have to go all out to win this. If you can vote early and have not done so, do it today. Now. Don’t wait till tomorrow. Get it done. If you can only vote tomorrow, go vote early. Get it done, get it out of the way. Who knows what surprises lurk in the next few hours? Fire, flood, plague of frogs – nothing is off the table. We are in the Land of the Black Swans.

In the last two weeks, Vice President Kamala Harris has been trying to revive her stagnant campaign by smearing Trump as being Hitlerian and a fascist. She claims Trump is planning to put his enemies in encampments. If Harris refers to Trump's supposed fascist policies during his prior four-year tenure, there is no such evidence. Nonetheless, the once "joyful" Harris is ending her campaign by trafficking in lies and smears reminiscent of the Joe McCarthy era.
From my time as Harris County Treasurer, to Houston City Council Member, I’ve heard from and seen in action just how important it is to ensure public funds are being used wisely – and that we generate additional revenue to support our communities where we can.

Democrats hate you. They really do. They’ll tell you, though only by accident. The rest of the time they pretend to care, pretend they’re interested in helping you achieve your goals. They don’t mean it, they hate you. You’re nothing but a bitter, garbage person clinging to your guns and Bible, a deplorable, irredeemable case for supporting abortion in the 400th month. They may think you are garbage, but you have less than one week before you have a chance to take out the trash.

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."
