When CNN says the latest polls show Donald Trump's had an INCREASE in his "Approval Rating," when 65% say Democrats should accept Republicans’ clean, non-partisan bill, when 55% say they're “just trying to please their base,” well, it just might be the case that Democrats are losing their messaging war. By every measure, this Schumer Shutdown is a disaster for Democrats – yet they continue to vote against reopening.
After disasters such as Hurricanes, Tornadoes and Flooding – not to mention unforeseen special projects such as Border Security – the last two decades in Texas have proven the need for specially trained "Surge Forces" that can respond to future emergency needs across Texas. The most recent Special Legislative Session saw at least one initiative passed calling for the Texas State Guard to meet the challenge.
Congressman Tony Gonzales (TX-23) announced the City of El Paso will receive $2.25 million in funding from the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office) through the Department of Justice (DOJ). This award is administered under the COPS Hiring Program (CHP) and will be used to onboard 18 additional police officers in El Paso.
The last two decades in Texas have proven the need for trained "Surge Forces" to meet disasters such as Hurricanes, Tornadoes, Flooding & other missions such as Border Operations. The challenge for Texas is that these surge forces often cost millions to prepare, or are delayed in deployment due to various factors. But the most recent Special Legislative Session calls for forces like the Texas State Guard to meet the needs of Texas.
Adam Swart runs a company that provides Paid Demonstrators for anyone who wants them. But he turned down offers from what Democrat & Radical Left protesters are calling "No Kings" demonstrations for Saturday, telling Fox News, “My concern is that there are forces — some domestic, some maybe foreign — that actually want to pull America apart.” Brace yourself for another round of potentially violent "Peaceful Protests."
Thanks to Senate Democrat's stonewalling to try and stop President Trump from putting has team in place to Make America Great Again, it only took EIGHT months to confirm Ned Mamula to run the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) – the agency overseeing ALL mining & mapping activities throughout the U.S. Its estimates we have $12 trillion of recoverable minerals buried in our own backyard, including 100s of billions of dollars in Critical & Rare Earth Minerals.
Whether it's ordering the dispatch of Federal Troops to protect Immigration Enforcement Personnel in "sanctuary" states, authorizing his Budget Director to use reorganization powers available after Senate Democrats shut down the government, announcing a peace plan for Israel & Hamas, or launching a Pediatric Cancer Initiative – President Donald Trump has what Alexander Hamilton once called "Energy in the Executive."
Democrats thought they had the leverage and could force President Trump to give them what they wanted. Instead they've foolishly given him what he could only have dreamt of – a Government Shutdown. They've given him what few presidents have had the opportunity or courage to attempt... the breathtaking chance to fundamentally reshape Washington, D.C., perhaps forever. Democrat's shutdown stunt has backfired spectacularly.
When tracking President Trump’s "job approval" on a daily basis, people sometimes get so caught up in the day-to-day fluctuations that they miss the bigger picture. To look at the longer-term trends, Rasmussen Reports compiles numbers on a full-month basis, and despite reports to the contrary, the latest results show Trump's Month-by-Month Approval gained 1% in September, while even less disapprove.
Former FBI Director James Comey may be charged in the next few days over alleged false statements he made about not authorizing the leaks of classified information to the New York Times and other news sources. The news comes two weeks after former Comey adviser and Columbia University law professor Daniel Richman was subpoenaed as part of a criminal probe, and was first reported by MSNBC.
Perhaps the Left was hoping for a festival of anger and fear from Charlie Kirk’s remarkable Memorial Service Sunday afternoon. What they got instead was Revival & Hope – and on a scale rarely seen in human history. More than anything, what came out at the Kirk service was faith – the kind the United Sates of America was founded on. Over 277,000 devices registered in and around State Farm Stadium, and there were over 100 million streams overall worldwide.
Leftist comedian Bill Maher tried to trap Border Czar Tom Homan this weekend with the standard liberal fantasy: Just give amnesty to the millions of Illegal Immigrants already in the country. Homan shredded the idea piece by piece – and his reasoning was so airtight, even Maher’s leftist crowd applauded. It’s not every day you see progressives cheer for enforcement, but Tom Homan doesn’t mince words.
Charlie Kirk’s former Chief of Staff Mikey McCoy summed it up best. “Charlie’s assassin thought he could steal and silence his voice by putting a bullet in his neck. But in the words of Soren Kierkegaard, ‘The tyrant dies, his rule is over. The martyr dies, his rule has just begun.’” Think about it: While Erika Kirk was forgiving her husband’s assassin, the killer’s allies continued their hate fest right through his Memorial Service.
Well imagine that – Karma has come for Jimmy Kimmel, whose onscreen persona is about as big a jerk as you will find. Monday night's monologue, not a joke, asserted that Charlie Kirk was murdered by “one of them” in “the MAGA gang.” His bristling contempt for anyone right-of-center practically bursts through the screen on every show. He's just not funny, charming, or pleasant to watch.
Liberal Media Pundits & Democrat Politicians are reacting apoplectically after ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel “indefinitely” for making one of the sickest jokes possible about Charlie Kirk’s assassination. They’re warning that the 1st Amendment is "under assault," that Americans are "losing their free speech," and that the "free press" is all but gone. Don’t believe any of it. Let’s review what happened.
The South Side of Chicago is a literal "War Zone" – 617 murders and 2,000+ shootings in 2023. So you'd think that reducing crime, especially on the city's poorer-minority South Side would be a bi-partisan effort. After all, don’t "Black Lives Matter" to Democrats and Liberals and the Woke-Left National Media that's running our great city? Our left-wing Mayor & Governor value virtue-signaling over real solutions, and clearly are not going to help.
When murders are committed for political purposes, we call it Assassination. That’s what the murder of Charlie Kirk was. And "racism" played a part in the brutal stabbing of 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska on a light rail train in Charlotte. The people who commit such murders are the sickest of the sick – and there are more of them out there, waiting. We need to learn and find ways to stop them – before they change history again.
A sweeping housing reform bill signed into law earlier this year is now facing a major legal challenge, with housing developers warning the reforms will displace thousands of working-class Texans and accelerate an intensifying affordable housing crisis in the Lone Star State. According to the lawsuit, some of the so-called reforms will rewrite the terms of already existing affordable housing development agreements by retroactively changing the rules – a violation of the Texas Constitution.
The City of Charlotte's Mayor – Vi Lyles, a Democrat – initially urged “media partners” and others not to repost the shocking video of 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska's brutal murder. A Ukrainian-born pizza store worker who was innocently riding a light rail train in Charlotte, North Carolina when she was attacked and murdered from behind, "Sadly... couldn’t survive the Democrats’ criminal justice system,” said one critic.
"I think that there will be positive things that will be seen that happen in Washington, D.C., to where public demand (in other cities) would say, 'yes we would like this,'" Sessions said. "It's obvious that Chicago has a problem – and what happens is, that in this political dialog the president wants to be able to prove that everybody in the in the U.S.is entitled to a safe neighborhood, and the safety by government.
