VIDEOPerennial LOSING candidate Robert Francis (who calls himself "Beto" for political reasons) O'Rourke continues his LOSING streak. Not content with being a LOSING punk rocker dressed like a lamb in white tights, O'Rourke went on to become a three time election LOSER in the past few years. His latest shtick is remaking himself as a leader of the resistance to redistricting in Texas by paying for the Democrat legislators of that state to split to highly Gerrymandered Illinois. Unfortunately for poor Beto this latest effort is also LOSING since those legislators are now reported to be returning to Texas where...

There’s a host of issues with giving illegal aliens citizenship or legal status or a carveout — but the most consequential is voting.Democrats are increasingly explicit about their goals to turn illegal aliens into future voters — making Republican talk of amnesty or compromise more worrisome. Those efforts would be nothing less than hammering the final nails into the coffin of both the Republican Party and America.At a Fort Worth “The People vs. The Power Grab” rally, Beto O’Rourke laid it out plainly. “We absolutely failed to live up to the expectations that we set, so next time we win...

Former U.S. Rep. Beto O'Rourke called on Democrats to do more than "comprehensive immigration reform" the next time they take back the White House and Congressional majorities, at a rally on Saturday against the GOP effort to redistrict Texas congressional districts. "We absolutely failed to live up to the expectations that we set, so next time we win power, we're going to drive that car like we stole it," he said at the rally in Fort Worth called "The People vs. The Power Grab." BETO O'ROURKE: Check this out. "You know, Democrats -- present company excluded -- have talked an...

A Texas judge ruled Friday against Beto O’Rourke and his nonprofit in a case brought by state Attorney General Ken Paxton, who accused them of illegally raising funds to support Democratic lawmakers fleeing the state to block GOP redistricting legislation. Tarrant County District Judge Megan Fahey handed down a temporary restraining order Friday evening against O'Rourke, a former congressman and Democratic presidential candidate, and his group, Powered by People, over alleged "unlawful fundraising practices" tied to efforts to support Texas Democrats who fled the state — including funding air travel, lodging, logistics and daily fines. "Defendants have and will continue...

When Texas Democrats fled to Illinois a few days ago in an effort to stop the state legislature from moving forward with redistricting efforts, they traveled there by private plane. How did they afford such a thing? Beto O’Rourke’s PAC apparently paid for it.

...Beto O’Rourke called for Democrats to be "ruthless" in their pursuit of power and endorsed partisan gerrymandering. "We have to get serious. We have to be absolutely ruthless about getting back in power...

If you thought that George Soros's empire was taking a break to lick its wounds following President Donald Trump’s victory in November, think again. A group backed by the notorious left-wing billionaire is unleashing a fortune to achieve a leftist dream: to finally turn the state of Texas into a Democrat stronghold. he Wall Street Journal reported June 9 that the Soros-backed Texas Majority PAC “launched a ‘Blue Texas’ initiative Monday along with the Texas Democratic Party and a group of county parties, aiming to organize tens of thousands of volunteers, recruit candidates and boost turnout ahead of the 2026...

Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) said Monday on MSNBC’s “Inside” that Vice President Kamala Harris could possibly win the state of Texas in November. Host Jen Psaki said, “I want to ask you, you’ve seen a lot of presidential candidates run. Vice President Harris and Tim Walz are clearly creating a lot of excitement out there. Do you think this is enough? Is Texas a pipe dream or should people hold their hope out for Texas in 2024 or is it going to take a little longer?”

As we’ve seen, Democrats prioritize being the “first” more so than excellence. This is why they’re such big fans of affirmative action. A prime example of this screwy “first” mentality is Justice Ketanji Jackson. She was arguably chosen not for her intellect or capability but rather because she is a black woman, and it shows. Another “first” for Democrats is a cross-dressing man who goes by the name “Stacie” Laughton. Mr. Laughton became the nation’s first openly transgender state representative who’s been arrested on child pornography and child exploitation charges. Quite a remarkable “first”, indeed. Congratulations to the Democrats on...

Robert Francis "Beto" O'Rourke won praise last year after he pledged to return a massive campaign contribution from Sam Bankman-Fried, the disgraced cryptocurrency kingpin charged with defrauding customers out of billions of dollars. But campaign finance records show the failed political candidate has not lived up to that promise nearly eight months later. O'Rourke has kept $100,000 that Bankman-Fried donated to O'Rourke's failed gubernatorial campaign, according to campaign finance disclosures released this week. A spokesman for O'Rourke said in November that the campaign had returned an "unsolicited" $1 million donation from Bankman-Fried just before the Nov. 8 election. O'Rourke received...

Luke Warford is vying to become a top sheriff overseeing the state’s powerful oil industry — and to replace a self-dealing ‘political animal.’

Beto O’Rourke Raised $80 million to take on Ted Cruz. He famously raised $6 million in the first 24 hours of announcing his presidential run and blew through an estimated $17 million. After wasting nearly $100 million in two failed races, donors lined up to give him another $66 million for the final leg of the trifecta, wasting over $160 million to lose the senate, the presidency and finally the governor’s mansion. Consider the sorts of people who were willing to go on believing in him and writing him million-dollar checks. Quick hit them up with your best Brooklyn Bridge...

Congratulations to Stacey Abrams on her second term in office as president of space after her latest effort to claim victory in Georgia fell apart.For Democrats this ought to count as a win because the midterms have likely freed them from the giant money sponges of Beto O’Rourke and Stacey Abrams in one fell swoop.And both grifters seemed to have a limitless ability to promote themselves and burn money. Including from Evil Inc’s very own ATM.Soros’ Democracy PAC II sent $1 million to the committee on March 11 and another $1.5 million on June 23 for a total of $2.5...

<p>AP Photo/Patrick Semansky Let’s be real, it’s not looking good for Democrats. Many of them are pretty much guaranteed to lose their respective races and others are feeling the heat of a competitive race with their opponent just at their back. The overtake could happen at any moment.</p>

Salt Lake City, UT – Independent Senate candidate Evan McMullin called his liberal counterpart in Texas, Beto O’Rourke, to brag that he just finished his concession speech and now has his entire Saturday free. McMullin informed O’Rourke that he might even take his sweet drone out and “just check out the neighborhood” this afternoon, now that he’s put the finishing touches on his “it was a moral victory” comments he plans to give after being thoroughly beaten by opponent Mike Lee in the upcoming Utah Senate election.

Everyone's favorite transplants from California, Steve and Timpani, are going door to door trying to get their new Texas neighbors to vote for Beto O'Rourke. And then, plot twist, they end up in a good old-fashioned Baptist church!

AUSTIN, Texas - In a cavernous, modern sanctuary at Greater Mt. Zion Church, the Rev. Gaylon Clark introduced Beto O’Rourke to his congregation one recent Sunday as “the next governor of the state of Texas.” Then he raised his hand and, over the strains of a keyboard, prayed for “victory in the name of Jesus.” In the sanctuary, the churchgoers said, “Amen.” In the lobby, they lined up for pictures with the one-time Democratic sensation now lagging in the polls. “With God and faith and him being here today,” one of the congregants told me, “you should see a change...

On his MSNBC Sunday show, Capehart had on Beto O'Rourke. After losing to Ted Cruz in a senatorial run, then flaming out early in the 2020 Democrat presidential primary, O'Rourke is poised to make it a trifecta of failures, as he trails Gov. Greg Abbott badly in the Texas gubernatorial race. So, in his closing statement in the segment, an apparently desperate O'Rourke dug deep in his slimebag, and emerged with this foul accusation. "We have more school shootings than any other state because these kids are defenselss, not just against people with AR-15s, but a governor who will do...
