Republican House Managers chosen by House Speaker Dade Phelan, R-Beaumont, aren’t complying with a discovery order issued by Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, Attorney General Ken Paxton’s attorneys claim. The July 12 order requires the parties to “confer and accomplish the following as soon as practicable,” including requiring the House Managers to provide documentation to Paxton’s attorneys in preparation for the impeachment trial. The order was issued in response to a complaint Paxton’s attorneys filed on July 7. The order requires House Managers to provide all reports, documents, business records, government records, papers, recorded witness statements, among others in possession of...

Despite impeachment and allegations from the Texas State House, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has broken personal fundraising records. In a press release from Ken Paxton's office, he disclosed that in the near "two months after the House’s sham and illegal impeachment, Attorney General Ken Paxton raised $1.7 million dollars in 11 days." In May, an impeachment of Paxton was pursued by the Texas House over alleged bribery and abuse of public trust. Paxton released a statement in response to the impeachment, calling it "unfounded" and "politically motivated." The Dallas Country GOP then passed a unanimous resolution defending Paxton from...

If Senate Republicans are truly the pro-life champions they claim to be, they have no choice but to back Sen. Tommy Tuberville as he fends off the Biden administration’s abortion extremism. So far, they are failing at their task. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senate Minority Whip John Thune have gone after Tuberville for his recent comments and decision to stonewall certain high-profile promotions until the Biden administration stops subsidizing service members’ abortions with taxpayer dollars. Meanwhile, their ally Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and a few other unnamed senators joined the dogpile on the “radical conservative populism” that...

Researchers found that a person who vapes from a disposable or pod-based device such as a Juul dispels 22 times the safe level of microscopic toxins known as particulate matter, which is small enough that when inhaled can cause respiratory issues and enter the bloodstream. The findings poke holes in the belief held by many e-cigarette users that the devices are safe to use in public, indoors or around others because they do not produce the traditional pungent smoke released by traditional cigarettes, which contains thousands of chemicals, dozens of which are carcinogens.

(Australian Space Agency) A massive metal object found drifting off the shore of a remote beach in Western Australia is awash in mystery as officials try to figure out where it came from. Police have been guarding the mysterious thingamajig since it was discovered by baffled locals this last weekend about 250 kilometers (155 miles) north of Perth. The object appears to be human-made, although it has clearly fallen into disrepair. About 2.5 meters (8.2 feet) wide and nearly 3 meters long, the cylinder's sides are covered in barnacles, its base a mess of fragmented metal. On the white sandy...

The United States will announce a new pledge to buy $1.3 billion worth of military aid for Kyiv in its conflict with Russia in the coming days, two U.S. officials said. The previously unreported weapons package includes air defenses, counter-drone systems, exploding drones and ammunition, one of the U.S. officials said. The United States is using funds in its Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI) program, which allow President Joe Biden's administration to buy weapons from industry rather than pull from U.S. weapons stocks. Among the systems and ammunition the U.S. plans to buy for Kyiv are counter-air defenses made by...

Florida about to declare mRNA Covid shots a "Bio-Weapon". Legislation looking to be passed to make it ILLEGAL to administer any mRNA Covid-19 Vaccine to anybody in the state.

President Donald Trump would beat President Joe Biden in the race for the White House, while Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis would lose to the sitting president in the general election, according to a new Premise poll. Here are how the numbers break down in the poll: 42% of registered voters say they would cast their ballots for Trump in the general election if he secures the GOP presidential nomination, while 40% say they would vote for Biden. 19% were uncertain. 37% of registered voters say they would vote for Biden, while 33% said they would cast their ballots for DeSantis...

Sticking with Biden prevents open primaries that might demonstrate the appeal RFK Jr.’s ideas have among millions of ordinary voters. Joe Biden is a walking dead man, politically. His approval ratings are in the tank, and a stunning 72 percent of Americans think the country is on the “wrong track,” according to a recent survey. Biden’s cognitive decline is embarrassingly obvious. He is already 80 years old — the oldest president the country has ever had. He would be 86 at the end of a second term, assuming he lived that long, which troubles even his supporters. On top of...

A select group of celebrities are chosen to throw out the first pitch at a Major League Baseball game. And not all of them maximize the experience—just ask 50 Cent. Almost no one, however, has had as much fun with the endeavor than rapper Wiz Khalifa—so he claims—did Monday evening. Khalifa, a military brat who grew up in Pittsburgh after moving around frequently as a child, threw out the first pitch ahead of the Pirates' series opener against the Guardians at PNC Park. The event was duly promoted across MLB's soc

Former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino has spoken out against the conclusion of the White House cocaine “investigation” after speaking with his former colleagues. As Slay News reported, the Secret Service concluded the probe last week after just a few days and claimed that “no suspects” had been identified. According to the elite law enforcement agency, someone was able to smuggle a white powder into the West Wing of Democrat President Joe Biden’s White House and get away with it. However, only a handful of people at the most would ever be able to walk into the White House with...

A Tennessee man has been charged in connection with a threat against conservative journalist and talk radio show host Michael Patrick Leahy over Leahy's lawsuit to obtain the Nashville school shooter manifesto, allegedly telling Leahy, "I'm willing to go to prison to end you." Leahy, CEO of The Star News Network, and the network’s parent company, Star News Digital Media Inc., are involved in a lawsuit to release the manifesto of transgender person Audrey Hale, who killed three students and three faculty members in March at a Nashville Christian school Hale had attended. The person charged in connection with the...

Spirits are high among the International Brotherhood of the Teamsters as negotiations with shipping giant UPS stay frozen ahead of a July 31 contract negotiation deadline, The Hill found in a range of interviews. If the Teamsters strike, some 340,000 drivers, warehouse workers and other employees could walk off the job in one of the largest labor actions in U.S. history. The potential strike is part of surging labor activity in the U.S. and around the world as a result of elevated inflation, which central banks have been attempting to fend off by raising interest rate in an attempt to...

On Monday, Ford announced significant price cuts for all versions of its electric F-150 Lightning pickup. The cheapest version of the Lightning will now start at about $50,000, a roughly $10,000 cut. All versions of the EV will get price cuts of at least $6,000 as Ford works to boost production this fall. Ford claims their efforts to boost production and lower costs for battery minerals paid off. Ford suggests they can’t meet the demand, but there is an EV bubble right now, and many unsold EVs are piling up on car lots. Companies other than Tesla have produced too...

Linux is now a little more than three 3 per cent of the desktop OS market, excluding the just over four per cent that is ChromeOS. Which is also Linux, but the wrong kind of Linux. Web server statistics aggregator Statcounter announced last week that as of June 2023, Linux accounts for 3 per cent of desktop operating system use. However, this is still surpassed by ChromeOS, which means that desktop Linux has less than half of the desktop Linux market. If you feel that this is a bit weird, we agree with you.Apparently, desktop Linux use measures 3.08 per...

As the Marxist Democrat revolution pushes forward, House Republicans have once again failed to take legislative action, and the Reconciliation Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery is scheduled for demolition no later than January 1, 2024.An amendment to the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act was recently presented by Representative Bob Good (R-VA).Unfortunately for defenders of the Reconciliation Memorial, Rep. Good’s addition to the defense spending bill was rejected four days ago in a late-night vote that saw 41 Republicans break away after Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R – AL), who spoke in favor of the amendment.
