As was mostly expected, the Republican Party had a terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad Election Night Tuesday. And naturally, narrative-setters are already rushing to assign blame for the results. Rest assured, the blame game will continue throughout all sectors of the nation's political jackal-class long into the future. But, the big result to watch for now is what lesson Trump & the GOP take from the trouncing. Plenty of people are urging them to take exactly the wrong lessons and political course corrections.

Millions of Texans buy Lottery Tickets each year, hoping that fortune might favor them just once. But this year's biggest prize won't be sold at any gas station — and no player can buy a ticket. Three companies, none based in Texas, are waiting to hear which one of them will walk away with a roughly $1.5 billion contract to run the Texas Lottery for the next decade. The state will name the winner by Nov. 2nd, the day before Tuesday's election. But Texans should ask, and rightfully have questions about oversight, safeguards, and value.

Two decades ago you had to call about three random numbers to get one to answer. By 2025, Pew Research had to reach about 140 random call numbers just to get one response. And now it’s 2026 — not 2016, 2008, or 1992. If pollsters botched election predictions back then – when people still answered phones and large demo groups still voted predictably — what do you think will happen when they don’t? Yet we’re still extrapolating polling predictions based on any weirdo who’ll to take a poll that 139 other people have already rejected!

Ever wonder why the Leftwing Establishment Media never criticizes or questions the new Socialists, Communists & Islamists that control and make up the Democrat Party? The New York Times, the Washington Post, the LA Times, Time, Newsweek, ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN are part of a coordinated campaign to sanitize, normalize, and romanticize history’s most Dangerous & Lethal Ideologies. For example, Newsweek is currently running a “Little Red Test” that asks how you feel about oat milk, shorter workweeks and tote bags — subtlety leading one to see how ready you are for an “American Socialist Revolution.” What exactly are they trying to do?

For years there have questions about whether Democrat Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s father lied or omitted information about his military role under a brutal Somalia dictatorship. Now there are allegations that Omar or her late father may have lied or omitted information to secure legal status and citizenship. The fraud investigation into Ms. Omar could result in charges – and potentially an effort to strip her of her citizenship. The Justice Department could pursue a Civil Denaturalization Case, which is not subject to a Statute of Limitations, meaning the investigation could even expand.

A spreadsheet recovered from U.S. Intelligence Agency files and made public Wednesday by the White House Government Transparency Task Force shows that weaponized Spy Agencies and the FBI created a list of over six dozen organizations, and Americans and-or foreigners to target as they embarked on a secret operation to tamp down the Biden-Ukrainian Corruption Scandal as it was engulfing the Biden Family and the Obama Administration during the 2020 Election. The spreadsheet was neatly divided along political lines – with Democrats shown as victimized “targets” of Russian disinformation, and conservatives listed as “conduits” of the disinformation.

In February, a Texas woman named Emily Sutton picked up her phone and found herself talking to an AI-generated voice. It asked her a series of questions about injuries she might have suffered, and after she'd said the questions didn't apply to her, it kept asking more questions. When she asked who was calling, the voice named a Michigan personal injury operation, and read off its address. The call was one of 1,000s placed by an automated platform working off a purchased lead list.

Arizona's largest county, Maricopa County in which Phoenix is located, suffered a significant breach of its Election Data in the days before the 2020 Presidential Election. A self-described hacker foiled security and obtained access to a massive trove of the county's Voter Registration Files, but the Biden Justice Department declined to bring charges – even after the FBI got the suspect to confess. On Thursday, the Trump White House's Government Transparency Task Force declassified, and made public the documents.

Reality for the Democrats isn't pretty right now – which is the main reason they don't spend much time in it. The Democrat Party is in free-fall – and things aren't going to be getting anytime soon. The "Democratic Socialists of America" (DSA) have brought the Democrat's deep-rooted Commie-Leanings out in the open. Party elders would like to put the Hammer & Sickle cat back in the bag before the midterms and pretend that none of this ever happened – but, the pesky Nouveau Stalin Kids in the DSA are... just getting louder. 

In January 2011, during my year as chairman of the San Antonio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, we welcomed Sen. Lindsey Graham for a public conversation at Pearl Stable. More than 300 Business & Community Leaders filled the room. The discussion was thoughtful, substantive – and focused on finding practical solutions for the country. As the event closed, Graham said: “I am not going to create a bill to help my party with Hispanics. I’m going to create a bill to help America.”

Journalists are supposed to be in the business of reporting "Facts & Truths." Yeah right. Allowing leftist politicians to get by with hiding their anti-American attacks under the "Mis-Information" cloak (remember that media whopper?) of the "Democrat Party" is bias of the worst kind. It advances a lie, AND cover for the destruction that's taking over the election. It will destroy America from within. Democrats want a "Socialist" Nation — a Marxist/Communist Nation — they just don’t want to let on because they know it’s too soon for voters to accept.

"The next wave of technology and innovation shouldn’t come at the expense of hardworking Americans. Our outdated Energy Grid is already in desperate need of modernization, and isn't prepared to take on the power demands of data centers without impacting the wallets of our citizens," said Cong. Byron Donalds, introducing the "Protecting Ratepayers Act" to ensure private developers, rather than American taxpayers, bear the costs of data center developments while advancing the nation's technological dominance.

“With over 150,000 borrowers suspended from SBA Programs across five states to date – representing over $10 billion in suspected fraud in just those five states – we are actively working with Law Enforcement and the U.S. Treasury Dept. to deliver accountability and recoup stolen funds,” said SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler earlier this week, announcing the suspension of borrowers in California, Ohio, Maine, Minnesota & Wisconsin.

If you’re wondering why terrible people such as Graham Platner think they can run for major public office these days, this is why: One of the two major parties in the U.S. succeeded 30-odd years ago in persuading the American people to stop caring about the moral character of public men. It ​​​​​​​was all done in the service of one man – who today (along with his wife) is still revered among the Democrat faithful. They kept the drumbeat up for eight solid years, and the beneficiary was Bill Clinton.

Over the 4th of July weekend, hundreds of Somali youth in Minneapolis went on a crime spree. Its been a growing problem in Minneapolis for years – and County Sheriff Bob Fletcher has had enough. Sheriff Fletcher blasted the media for not covering the “out of control” violence, warning “If the community stays in denial about this problem, those 300 kids running in gang circles are going to turn into 900 kids.” That same message could be said of the entire United States.

Every eligible child born between January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2028 receives a $1,000 seed deposit from the U.S. Treasury to kick-start their account, and I recommend taking advantage of the program. With contributions from Family, Friends & Employers helping the funds grow tax-deferred over time, families across the country have invested $125 million in America's newborn children. It is an incredible opportunity to set your child up for financial success.

The Bridger Aerospace "Super Scoopers"  – yes – literally scoop water from nearby lakes and water sources and transport it to the fire line to extinguish wildfires when every minute and second counts. And the planes have spent 36 days working in Texas so far this year, logging more than 80 flight hours and dropping more than 130,000 gallons of water on fires across the Lone Star State. Wildfire season is upon us, and aerospace technology companies are racing to reshape how decisions are made.

They’re called "Socialists," and "Democrat Socialists." No longer satisfied with being just "Progressives," they’re also now OK being called "Marxists & Communists"... in the United States of America! And for any Democrat still in denial, they’ve flocked to and taken over your party. “We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism, with the warmth of collectivism,” said Democrat's new undisputed King-Maker, Mayor Zohran Mamdani – which is to say, a Communist-Marxist-Collectivist party.

As a physician who cares for patients in skilled Nursing Homes across Houston & Galveston, I see the toll of Alzheimer’s & Dementia every day – in patients who lose their independence, in families struggling to make difficult decisions, and in caregivers who are exhausted and heartbroken. Alzheimer’s is one of the greatest health challenges facing our nation – and for too long it has failed to receive the urgency and coordinated response it demands. In Texas, we're changing that.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has announced a province-wide referendum for October 19th on whether it should separate from Canada. Voters will choose between remaining in Canada, or starting the process for a future binding independence referendum. Alberta holds the world's 4th-largest crude oil reserves, contributes almost as much to Canada's growth as its financial and manufacturing hub of Ontario, which has more than three times the population. Hmm...
