Tea party firebrand Allen West, a candidate for the Republican nomination for governor of Texas, said Saturday that he has received monoclonal antibody injections after being diagnosed with COVID-19 pneumonia. The antibodies are used to treat those in the early stages of a coronavirus infection. “My chest X-rays do show COVID pneumonia, not serious. I am probably going to be admitted to the hospital,” West wrote. “There’s a concern about my oxygen saturation levels, which are at 89 and they should be at 95.”

According to a thread on his Twitter account Saturday, West is experiencing "a low grade fever and light body aches." He has canceled in-person events out of concern for public safety "until receiving an all-clear indication." In addition to Ivermectin, which has been widely dismissed by health experts as a COVID-19 treatment, West is also taking hydroxychloroquine. Although his wife, Angela West, has been vaccinated against the virus, he has not, according to the tweets. "Dr. Angela West received the vaccine. LTC West did not. LTC West has publicly stated he supports individual choice and this is reflected in his...

Texas gubernatorial candidate Allen West delivered good news today for his campaign, but more importantly for the honor of his wife, Angela. The toxicology report filed following her arrest for DWI demonstrates her blood was completely clean with no traces of alcohol or drugs in her system at the time of her arrest.

Former Congressman and Texas GOP Allen West has always had a contentious relationship with the press. Leftwing media tends to despise his pro-America, pro-freedom attitude even more than they dislike most Republicans. He’s a patriot and a conservative who is running against a RINO, Greg Abbott, for governor of Texas. That means he’s a target. Mainstream media went even lower than usual when reporting on West yesterday and today. Reports that his wife was arrested for a DWI with children in her car was a bombshell that was simply too juicy for them to pass up. But while they generally...

He said his wife and the people at dinner confirmed that she only had water and lemonade. Even more, West argued that his wife shouldn’t have...

DALLAS - Outgoing Texas GOP chair and former congressman Allen West insists that former President Trump’s endorsement of Gov. Greg Abbott "doesn’t hurt" his 2022 primary challenge against the two-term Republican governor. "It has no relevance to me as I prepare to run for governor of Texas," West told Fox News ahead of his speech this weekend at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Dallas, Texas. Abbott is facing primary challenges from the right from West, former state Sen. Don Huffines, and political commentator Chad Prather. Huffines addresses the crowd of conservative activists and leaders at CPAC on Saturday,...

Lieutenant Colonel Allen West announced his candidacy to become Governor of Texas this morning in a 7-minute video that detailed his history, celebrated the heroes of the Texas Revolution, and using comparisons to the Alamo, urged Texans to join him on the “right” side of the “line in the stand” with their vote. “Now it is our time, it is our time to stand up and honor those words of Texas, Our Texas, and to secure the future for our children and our grandchildren, to make sure the growth, the opportunity, and the prosperity, the economic success that you see...

Former Attorney General Eric Holder left the Obama administration in mid-2015 vowing to battle redistricting efforts in swing states. A year later, Holder was in charge of the newly formed National Democratic Redistricting Committee dedicated to that effort. Texas was in the crosshairs. The redistricting process, headed in committee by Republican Representative Phil King, is expected to take place in a special session of the Texas legislature in mid-2021. The districts targeted for a shakeup are still the subject of speculation, but whatever the result, the Democratic Party holds few options to stop the legislature. The DNC’s goal of flipping...

AUSTIN – Conservative firebrand and former Florida congressman Allen West will lead the Texas Republican Party into the 2020 election, after ousting the current chairman early Monday during a convention marred by technical difficulties. He vowed to use his post to push back against Democrats’ “progressive socialism.” “I am sick and tired of Republicans being on their heels, being on the defense, always being reactionary with a party that as we see right now-- they don’t stand up for the rule of law, they stand for rule of the mob,” he said during a victory lap on conservative media. The...

“Useful idiots” is a phrase attributed to Vladimir Lenin, who supposedly used it to describe communist sympathizers in Western Civilization. It is a very appropriate descriptor when it comes to the so-called “woke” mob of the so-called “resistance” that has overtaken the streets of America. Well, let me rephrase that: They have overtaken the streets of major population centers in America. The infestation of wokeness and idiocy seems concentrated in the very places where progressive socialist policies have failed in America. Consider the idiocy of a city in Colorado that is incarcerating people who do not wear a mask. Yet...

It has been two weeks since my motorcycle crash on I-35, at the speed of 75 mph. I just cannot reiterate my sincere and humble gratitude for the outpouring of prayers. As you are reading this missive, I am undergoing surgery on my right shoulder socket to repair the fracture. It is a bit of a struggle to sit and prepare the missive, and I am experiencing neck pain. However, God’s grace has enabled me to survive and even get back into my running routine, back to four miles. Sunday morning as I was running, I reflected on this thought:...

(Admin Mod, I know this isn't a proper article - these are my words, not from a source article, but Allen West is beloved around these parts and the only updates on his status after his motorcycle crash are kind-of unstructured posts on his Facebook page.)

Since we can't embed video (especially Facebook video), go to this link to watch it: https://www.facebook.com/AllenBWest/I hate to say it, but he looks and sounds pained. Mega-prayers for his recovery. Here are pictures of...
