Texas hasn’t gone blue in a statewide race in more than 30 years, but that streak could face a serious test this year. A new Fox News poll finds that while Texas likely voters favor Republicans retaining control of the U.S. Senate and give incumbent Republican Gov. Greg Abbott an edge in his re-election bid, the Senate race remains deadlocked. The survey, released Wednesday, finds Democrat James Talarico and Republican Ken Paxton tied at 49% each among Texas likely voters in the race to replace Sen. John Cornyn, who lost the GOP primary to President Trump-backed Paxton. Last month, Talarico...

Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) is facing an ethics complaint filed to the United States Senate over comments she made earlier this month that many characterized as a "threat" to conservatives who are thinking about working for the Trump administration.

Kamala Harris insists she hasn't decided whether she's running for president in 2028, but she accidentally gave the game away. Obviously, nobody in the Democrat Party is exactly begging her to jump in. The establishment has been pushing back hard on the idea of a third Kamala campaign. Former allies and donors grumble that she squandered her first year out of office, and they can't come up with a single reason voters should take another look at her. Even her husband, Doug Emhoff, reportedly isn't thrilled about her running again. You'd think all that would give her pause. Instead, Kamala...

LeBron James is officially back in the crosshairs of President Donald Trump over his performative antics during the national anthem during his debut with the Philadelphia 76ers this week. James, who has turned into something of a golf addict, was spotted taking some practice swings in his new 76ers gear as the rest of the team stood respecting the anthem during Tuesday's game against the defending NBA champions. "While listening to our National Anthem, LeBron James disrespects our Country! I said right from the beginning that he’s no good, a TOTAL DISGRACE. LeBron James should apologize to all of those...

The recording, obtained by The Cougar Chronicle, features Venna Anne and Ashton Hirschi, both identified as POPAI leaders, speaking during a meeting earlier this month. During a conversation about capitalism, someone told Anne that “You just can’t get away from capitalism.” Anne replied, “No, unless we kill everybody.” Hirschi responded that they only needed to kill “some” people and initially settled on “500.” Anne then said, “You also have to kill their children and their [line of succession].” Hirschi agreed, stating, “We need to get the politicians.” When asked whether ICE agents could integrate back into society, Hirschi said, “If...

What replaces a nation that apologizes for existing? France is burning again. This isn’t new, as France has been stacking it for decades. Civilizations rarely die when the barbarians arrive at the gate. They die when the gatekeepers forget what the gate is for. In his televised address, French President Macron asked in anguish, “How can French people do this to France?” The question assumes a shared heritage and commitment among “French” people. It implies a clear and precise answer to a prior question: Who is French, and why does it matter? The reality is that France long ago lost...

This is the problem with mixing religion with politics, and it’s the problem I’ve always had with Turning Point USA. While I still think Charlie Kirk was sincere in his Christian beliefs, I think the way he approached politics was extremely flawed. For example, Kirk once platformed an open, practicing homosexual who called himself a “gay Christian” while living openly in rebellion against God. While sitting on stage with him, Charlie Kirk never corrected him. In fact, he affirmed him. And while I don’t think it’s wrong to stand with non-Christians or people of other religions on certain shared political...

On Veterans Day 2025, I went on a road trip through central Indiana to visit the graves of several veterans of the American Revolutionary War. The sites I found -- and the stories behind them -- completely amazed me. There's so much hidden history tucked away in small roadside cemeteries across the country.

I found George Washington's Drummer & other Revolutionary War Graves | Journey With Murphy |...
