I hope you’re sitting down for this: the New York Times did some actual journalism this week. I know, right? But seriously, they did. The Times ran a story about how Democrats in Alaska, specifically the campaign staff of the Democrat nominee for the Senate, Mary Peltola, cooked up an idea to try to fool voters into electing her and then executed it to near perfection. Their only flaw? Someone talked to the Times BEFORE the election.

Seven years ago, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), who is now the Democrat leader in the House of Representatives, signed on as cosponsor to a bill that would have prohibited preventing biological males from using women's restrooms and locker rooms. Titled the "Equality Act," it stated that "an individual shall not be denied access to a shared facility, including a restroom, a locker room and a dressing room, that is in accordance with the individual's gender identity."

The Constitution has been out of favor for some time now.  Several presidents have decided that they can do as they please with regard to matters of war.  And in the prior six years, both Joe Biden, a Democrat, and Donald Trump, a Republican, took it upon themselves to make momentous decisions without regard to the Congress, or the people.  Joe Biden decided all by himself, to virtually erase the southern border, and millions poured in, edging the United States toward third-world status. 

As a Texan, I know exactly what's at stake in this year's race for governor. My brother is one of the thousands of students who finally has access to a Texas Education Freedom Account (TEFA), but Gina Hinojosa wants to take that opportunity away.  I know firsthand what a difference school choice can make. I attended public school most of my life, but by high school, the environment had become increasingly difficult. After I was physically assaulted, my family felt strongly discouraged from pressing charges. I was no longer comfortable learning in this environment.

Rarely in American history have the two parties been so far apart or the choice between them so stark. In brief, Islamist-sympathizing socialism is on the ballot against free-market capitalism and American exceptionalism. The new Islamist-allied socialist Democratic Party is confident, largely because the party holding the White House has increased its share of House seats in a midterm election only three times since 1900. Each of those exceptions arose under unusual circumstances.

I had to laugh the other day when the Left-Wing Media came unglued about the swirling rumors over why Democrat Senate candidate James Talarico went missing for 9 days. You have to admit – it was a bit strange. But for Talarico, it seems to me no "dirty trick" was really necessary – after all, he wants a "welcome mat" at the border. He thinks "there are 6 genders." He’s a Christian who "hates" Christianity. And, he supports the radical trans agenda. His own words ought to be enough to stop his political career.

Consider this from the standpoint of the "messages" being sent. Are you a conservative? Pro-American and for our nation's cultural sense of decency that's now 250+ years old? The "message" of the executions of Charlie Kirk and Brian Thompson – as well as the attempts on President Trump's life – are remarkably clear. But the upcoming execution of jihadist, convicted murderer, and former Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan holds a different message. His execution – carried out by soldiers of the institution he betrayed – is aimed at different audiences. The former is aimed at you and me, the latter is aimed at terrorists supporting Radical Islam. One is terrorism, the other is accountability.

Riots in France.  Protests on college campuses.  Antisemitism running rampant.  New York’s mayor accusing Israel of genocide on the 3rd anniversary of October 7th.  It would appear that the intifada is already globalized and is part of three concurrent left-wing movements:  the radical LGBTQ agenda, the rise of the Democratic Socialists of America, and the infiltration of radical Islam into American politics.  These three ideologies have turned America upside down.  All these things are what the Left calls “social justice” and the Right calls “culture rot.”

Columbus was not perfect, even in his own age; all humans are fallible. What made Columbus great was, well, he changed history and the world. Rarely in history has one person ever done that. There is no more important date in the past millennium than 1492. It is obviously the watershed from which all subsequent history, to our very day, flows. Of course, 1492 did not happen in a vacuum, but Columbus did do something nobody else had done and which changed the entire world forever. Even the people who hate him are a product of what he did.

On October 7, 2023, Hamas killers slaughtered 1,200 people, more than two-thirds of them civilians, inside Israel. For the ensuing three weeks, they refused Israel's demands to turn over the 251 hostages and to surrender the architects of the massacre. No matter — within a day of the attacks, when Hamas gunmen were still fighting Israeli troops on Israeli soil, the American Left was already screaming "genocide!"

Democrats hate reality for a very simple reason: it does them no good. Their beliefs, their strategies, their actions are all antithetical to reality, so they have to deny it as best they can. They change the definition of words to suit their needs; “woman” is basically meaningless at this point, which makes “man” basically irrelevant in their perverted world – and they punish anyone who refuses to obey their edicts.

We could call it divestiture – a process whereby the big college football factories could sell those programs to local billionaires who would run them as private businesses.  Let’s face it; the old model is dead.  Prior to NIL, there were two benefits to the players.  First, they could play college ball and see if they had the talent to move to the NFL or the NBA.  Second, and this seems laughable today, they could get a free education.  To me, as a fan, I wanted to see players in Austin that had dreamed of being a Longhorn – Now, they come to UT or any other college for the money.

What Abdul El-Sayed is promising is nothing new, Democrats have been pushing for one degree or another of socialized medicine for decades, and every little step they’ve taken – every time they’ve messed with the system to “improve” it has been designed for that very purpose.  Obamacare was not only destined to fail; it was designed to. The only problem Democrats had was it failed too soon – right from the start – allowing voters to notice their lies and associate the cost increases with the Democrats directly responsible for them.

For the last three election cycles, there were no nationally broadcast debates between the two candidates running in the general. From 2014, when Governor Brown was all but assured reelection and participated in a small debate, to 2018 and 2022, when Gavin Newsom didn’t bother with much of a major debate either, since he was assured victory. For the first time in 16 years, the Republicans have a somewhat conservative candidate who isn't afraid to confront bad leadership.

We hear it every two years – some Democrat promising to solve all your problems by pushing “Medicare for All!” It’s the cure for what ails you, they insist: your health insurance. But there is a lot about the healthcare industry, including insurance, that they don’t tell you. I will. This year’s model of promising Utopia is Michigan Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed. He has joined the Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) chorus insisting “free” healthcare is just a vote away.

The perfect metaphor to characterize the U.N. General Assembly delegates who walked out before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke is this: "There are none so blind as those who will not see." You can't make people understand the truth if they choose to ignore it. The problem with the Middle East is that both sides have their own "truth," which is contradictory because the only alternative to truth is falsehood.

Rhetoric against data centers and policy proposals meant to punish critical information infrastructure with higher taxes and new regulations have been prominent features of American politics in 2026. The ongoing hysteria has seen populist Republicans and progressive Democrats sounding similar alarms – but despite that consensus, recent primaries in a handful of red states suggest it isn’t necessarily a winning message. 

In 1867, the United States purchased Alaska from the Russian Empire for $7.2 million. The deal was ridiculed. In August 2019, Trump confirmed he was eyeing Greenland, referring to the massive island as "strategically nice" for the U.S. True, the new deal Trump just signed on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly with the Danish and Greenlandic prime ministers doesn't acquire Greenland for the U.S. But in every other way, this deal is a huge win for the administration.

It's the sentiment heard again and again from Democrats across the country this year: They didn’t leave the Democrat Party — it left them. While that diagnosis and the move to today's Muslim-Marxist Democrat Socialism has been on the record for two decades now, knowing the problem hasn't translated into any discernible shift in strategy. Instead of building a different program, Democrats keep doubling down on an even crazier pitch.

See National "Public" Radio White House reporter Tamara Keith, who told a CNN interviewer about her job: "I'm doing it on behalf of the American people. I'm not doing it for me. Um, and by kicking people out, he's kicking the American people out of the room. He's kicking the American people out of the people's house." This ignores the many millions of people who voted for Trump — and against all the elitist media noise.
