Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) declared on Tuesday an invasion is happening on the southern border and moved to invoke invasion clauses of the U.S. and Texas constitutions to allow him to boost security at the border. “I’m using that constitutional authority, & other authorization & Executive Orders to keep our state & country safe,” Abbott said in a tweet. The governor, who was reelected last week, plans to take a variety of actions, including deploying the National Guard to repel and turn back immigrants he says are trying to cross the border illegally, sending the Texas Department of Public...

As the gaping maw of infinity spat out the infant universe, only a solitary entity emerged fully formed. While swirling clouds of atoms slowly congealed over millennia to craft the carbon that comprises our existence, Florida Man observed the process undaunted by the glacial march of time and hostility of the void. His cold, piercing eyes gazed up from the deep crimson pool of Abel's blood as the fury subsided in Cain's heart. When the guillotine's blade sliced through the crisp air of Paris in January, the wind whistled "Florida Man." He can't be reached with reason and doesn't understand...

GOP Sen. Ron Johnson has won re-election to a third term in Wisconsin, NBC News projects, narrowly defeating Democrat Mandela Barnes. “The votes are in,” Johnson said in an email statement that was released before NBC News and other news outlets made the call. “There is no path mathematically for Lt. Gov. Barnes to overcome his 27,374 vote deficit. This race is over.” Democrats had initially been hopeful that they could oust Johnson, who was increasingly defined by headlines over his statements on issues such as abortion, his perpetuation of dubious and unproven Covid treatments, and his ties to the...

Pennsylvania lieutenant governor and Democratic US Senate candidate John Fetterman predicted on Monday that his Republican challenger, Dr. Mehmet Oz, will take an early lead on election day, only for a "dramatic" change to happen overnight as more ballots are counted, according to the Western Journal."Counting for ballots cast by mail and early in-person cannot begin until Election Day, thanks to the GOP-controlled legislature — an intentional move to help Republicans baselessly sow doubt about the election results when it suits them,” Fetterman wrote in a memo to “interested parties," reads a memo from Fetterman, according to the Washington Post."Pennsylvania...

Joe Biden traveled to Westchester County, New York Sunday evening to deliver remarks at a Democrat campaign event. He had no idea what he was saying. He had no idea where he was. During his brief remarks, Old Joe got heckled. Then he tripped and almost fell.

President Joe Biden (D) snapped at a young woman who attended a political rally that he hosted on Sunday at Sarah Lawrence College in New York for gubernatorial candidate Kathy Hochul. “No more drilling. There is no more drilling,” Biden snapped at a young woman in the crowd. “I haven’t formed any new drilling.” “There are at least five more years of offshore drilling,” the woman shouted back. “— in the Atlantic or the Pacific but in the Antarctic and off the gulf of New Mexico.” “That was before I was president,” Biden responded. “We’re trying to work on that...

CNN’s flashy new morning show co-hosted by Don Lemon, Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins bombed in its debut episode on Tuesday. Despite heavy promotion from the network, “CNN This Morning’s” first show drew a mere 387,000 viewers and averaged 71,000 viewers in the advertiser-coveted 25-54 age demographic, according to Nielsen ratings. By comparison, MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” amassed 793,000 viewers head to head from 6 to 9 am ET. Meanwhile, Fox News’ “Fox & Friends” came out on top, averaging nearly 1.5 million viewers. No show across CNN, MSNBC and Fox News ranked lower than Lemon’s program on Tuesday.

You know there is a problem when even liberal media outlets admit that the current leaders in the White House need to go. Washington Post columnist, George Will, is calling on President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris to resign from their positions.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -President Joe Biden will say on Wednesday that threats by some Republican candidates to refuse to accept election results if they lose is a "path to chaos" and will urge voters to reject election deniers. The White House released excerpts of a speech Biden was to deliver later on Wednesday night as he tries to help Democrats face down a strong challenge from Republicans and maintain control of the U.S. Congress. Biden will say that the Nov. 8 elections are the first since the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of then-President Donald Trump....

John Fetterman was on with Don Lemon on Tuesday morning and yes, he was using the close captioning system for the interview. But that didn’t solve the problems for him. Don Lemon has been switched to the CNN morning show after being demoted by CEO Chris Licht from his show in the evening. Fetterman was a big test for him because normally he would be spewing all kinds of Democratic-supporting vitriol in such an interview. But now he appeared to be making an attempt to ask real questions of Fetterman on some of the important questions. Lemon pushed on the...

An election-shaking decision from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court appears to have averted a brewing constitutional crisis. The state’s high court has found that mail-in ballots that violate the law regarding improper dating should be separated off and not counted on election night.In October, I wrote a piece detailing the attempted flaunting of the law by Democrats, nothing the arbitrary and lawless nature of counting invalid ballots.As RedState previously reported, the Supreme Court vacated a state court decision requiring Pennsylvania to count un-dated mail-in ballots. The plain letter of the law requires that a mail-in ballot must be filled, signed, and...

New Twitter CEO Elon Musk used his freedom of speech platform to promote a theory suggesting Paul Pelosi's attacker was a gay prostitute. In response to a tweet by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Sunday, the 51-year-old billionaire shared a link to an article suggesting the House Speaker's husband left a San Francisco gay bar with David DePape early Friday morning before he was allegedly attacked with a hammer.
