MAGA, Inc., the super PAC linked to President Donald Trump, has made its first major midterm buy with $10 million in ad spending to support Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in his Senate race, according to a new filing with the Federal Election Commission. Paxton and Democrat state Rep. James Talarico are locked in a tight race in which polls continually show the two candidates neck and neck. The race is one of roughly a dozen that will determine if the GOP holds its Senate majority in the midterms. The $10 million will go toward digital and TV ads...

Besheer Mohamed @bmoham Sep 3 I wrote a data essay on Muslim Americans 25 years after 9/11 – American Muslims have grown in numbers and political visibility, but views of Islam are more negative now than they were six months after the attacks, and far more partisan

Considering the millions living in this country, it is no surprise that many Americans become victims of criminal illegal aliens. A 33-year-old woman living in Framingham, MA, was strangled to death in her home in late August by an accused man who is an illegal alien from Brazil. Flavio Alcantara Dias, 43 years old, is accused of strangling Brianna Connolly to death at her home. She was 33 years old. Thomas Brandt, who is the assistant DA in Middlesex County, said the accused, Dias, called 911 around 12:30 p.m., asking for the police and saying a homicide had occurred. According...

Phones rise across the room as Chris Rabb steps to the front. It is the second day of the national summit for the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) in Chicago, and Rabb is fresh off an upset that launched the movement’s summer winning streak, defeating party-backed rivals in a Democratic congressional primary outside Philadelphia. Activists in red shirts move closer to take selfies. Some wear DSA’s rose insignia; others have slogans about ICE or Gaza stretched across their chests. “All right, comrades,” Rabb says, using the group’s preferred form of address with a satisfied grin. He asks whether anyone is...

Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico is set to travel to Los Angeles in September for a high-dollar fundraiser with Hollywood celebrities, according to a report. Politico reported that "Lost" co-creator Damon Lindelof and his wife, Heidi, will host a fundraiser for Talarico in Brentwood on Sept. 10. Tickets for the event start at $500 and go as high as $13,500, according to the outlet. This will be Talarico’s second Hollywood fundraiser in a few months. The first was held in June and was described by Page Six Hollywood as a "glitzy Dem fundraiser" at the home of Hollywood producer...

Mercury, the tiniest and least-explored planet in the inner solar system, is hiding mysteries far larger than itself — and finally, scientists will soon be getting not one but two spacecraft designed to decode the strange world. That's thanks to the BepiColombo mission, a joint project of the European Space Agency (ESA) and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) that launched in October 2018. After a harrowing journey through the inner solar system, the mission is tackling a crucial maneuver on Thursday (Sept. 3): separating its science equipment from the transport that carried it all that way. By April 2027, scientists...

In just a few months, the Trump-McMahon administration has saved U.S. taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars by fighting fraud. The White House Fraud Task Force is assisting the Department of Education (ED) to ensure the government isn’t wasting educational funding on nonsense, or letting taxpayer money go to criminals. Thanks to common-sense reforms led by @WHFraudTF and @EDSecMcMahon, ED has saved American taxpayers more than $400 MILLION by cracking down on fraud, waste, and abuse. And we’re just getting started. pic.twitter.com/9dzIdgw7UK — U.S. Department of Education (@usedgov) September 3, 2026 As a victim of federal student loan fraud myself,...

Only if they vote for him. It's pretty obvious he's a phony. The Democrats' crazy train just keeps coming, each boxcar a wonderland of leftist lunacy. Michigan's swing 7th District has gotten a beaut, a mild-mannered J.D. Vance-looking Democrat named William Lawrence, who all of a sudden has deleted a lot of his tweets. Yeah, it's a lot of them. Hundreds. According to Mediaite: A Democratic congressional candidate is distancing himself from now-deleted social posts in which he cheered for open borders, promoted a Democratic Party “civil war,” and blasted the nuclear family as part of a “violent way or...

American colleges and universities are panicking, for good reason. Enrollment across all of academia has been dropping for years, and starting now, there will be fewer and fewer college-aged people every year for the forseeable future. Colleges are scrambling for a way to survive. Big schools are slashing their course offerings. Small schools are making desperate plays to find a niche in a shrinking market. The bitter irony is this: American colleges and universities brought this crisis on themselves. The Baby Bust has a thousand causes, but some of the most significant anti-natal cultural and economic trends were created by...

FRANKFORT, Illinois (WBBM) -- A mother has been charged with murder after her 2-year-old child was killed inside a home in Frankfort, Ill.

Democrats have made summer pilgrimages to Nantucket, tapping the wealthy Massachusetts island’s donor class as candidates and party leaders stockpile campaign cash ahead of November. Nantucket and neighboring Martha’s Vineyard have long been magnets for political fundraising, and Democrats are again tapping the islands’ deep-pocketed donor networks as candidates and party leaders build their war chests ahead of November’s midterm elections. As of June 30, the Democratic National Committee, Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee had about $136 million in combined cash on hand, compared with roughly $277 million held by their Republican counterparts, according to federal...

In 1994, the Clinton Administration conducted a gun control study, particularly addressing the number of defensive gun uses every year. They were certain they’d debunk the numbers—up to 2.5 million—which would produce more restrictive laws. Despite using biased methodology, they found, to their horror, 1.5 million. They tried to bury the results, but they leaked. They learned an important lesson: be careful what you ask for; you might not get it. In The CDC honestly reports; gun grabbers would prefer they didn’t, I reported on another updated effort gun grabbers hoped would damage that 2.5 million reality. It didn’t: In...

Today, there are many different views and thoughts about just what the term “Sin” means. Just the word alone gives people the Hee-bee-Gee-bees. People do not like to think of themselves as “Sinners.” They say or think, “Well, I’m not that bad. I’ve never killed anyone. If you only knew the good I do...(and so on and so forth).” These statements and sentiments are expressed in attempting to justify themselves in light of the realities of their "sinful" condition. (John 3:19-21, Hebrews 6:1; 9:14). Sin, as defined in Almighty God’s Word, the Bible, is the transgression and violation of the...

YOUR NARROW ROAD SONG DEVOTIONAL Beloved, Jesus our Faithful Shepherd lovingly calls His flock to walk with Him and to be led by Him on the narrow road of this pilgrim life. Though this road is often marked by trials, discipline, sacrifice, and sorrow, it is also the only path that leads to true EVERLASTING freedom, lasting joy, and Heaven's ETERNAL home. The broad demonic road of this fallen world excludes Almighty God and His ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS and deceptively promises temporary pleasures, fulfillment, and false contentment, but ends in ETERNAL ruin, judgment, and destruction. Our precious Jesus' narrow road is...

The mullahcracy had the swell idea of avoiding accountability for attacks on Israel. They would surround Israel with well-armed proxies to do their dirty work. Hezb’allah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza, Houthis in the Red Sea, militias in Iraq and Syria, and allied forces in the West Bank. They would assert hegemony over the Middle East and choke off petro products to the world by blockading the Strait of Hormuz. As it stands today, military action by the U.S. and Israel and economic warfare by the Treasury have nearly extinguished these fires. Iran is broke; they alone are being blockaded...

A million-dollar mansion perched along Los Angeles’ legendary Mulholland Drive has become anything but a dream home — with squatters and trespassers turning the unfinished property into a late-night party pad. The abandoned house at 7711 Mulholland boasts sweeping views of the city, but neighbors say its biggest attraction after dark is the empty property itself. “It’s just right under the Universal Overlook, and people come at night, use it to party,” said Ted, a local resident who lives near the property, told FOX11. “There’s graffiti all over it, beer cans, and everything.” Neighbors say the calls for help have...

Who may live on your holy mountain? 2 The one whose walk is blameless, who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from their heart; 3 whose tongue utters no slander, who does no wrong to a neighbor, and casts no slur on others; 4 who despises a vile person but honors those who fear the Lord; who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and does not change their mind; 5 who lends money to the poor...

An allegedly corrupt senior immigration official and his sleazy moneyman are accused of manipulating the US immigration process and approving citizenship applications for nearly $960,000 in bribes, authorities said on Friday. Investigators discovered the reported racket through WhatsApp messages between former senior United States Citizenship and Immigration Services officer Lukman Owolabi Ganiyu, his financial accomplice Adeniyi Akeem Somoye, and individual citizenship applicants. The pair, located in Texas, bypassed standard procedures by funneling bribe-paying applicants directly to Ganiyu — skipping key steps in the immigration process like criminal background checks, according to the US Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of...

"Stand firm against the schemes of the devil" (Eph. 6:11). Keep your spiritual armor on at all times. Every battle has an offensive and defensive strategy. Paul outlines the Christian's offensive strategy in 2 Corinthians 10:3-5: "Though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ." Our defensive strategy is...
