The democrat party is old. It is a fact. Nancy Pelosi is 85 and although she is retired she still talks a lot and clearly wields some clout when not seeming drunk. Chuck Schumer is 75 years old and more and more frail in appearance. At 78 Jerry Nadler routinely falls asleep in hearings. Barack Obama says the democrat party is just too old. So, who comes next? Hakeem JeffriesHakeem Jeffries has a weird sounding voice. That might be why people have never really taken to him, and he cannot establish a gravitas about himself. I can't take him seriously....

It's a political commentary video with a strongly conservative-leaning perspective, running in the style of right-leaning news/analysis content. The main points covered include: A University of Houston poll showing U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) leading state Rep. James Talarico by 8 points in the Democratic primary for Texas' U.S. Senate race (flipping a previous Talarico lead). The host argues this is bad news for Democrats' chances of winning the seat in a general election because Crockett is portrayed as more controversial/weak electorally. Mentions allegations of racism directed at Talarico (e.g., a supporter allegedly calling a Black Democrat "mediocre"). Criticizes Crockett...

Firebrand Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s Senate campaign is having issues with her stance on the issues. Two months into her long-shot bid for statewide office, the Texas Dem’s website was found riddled with multiple faux pas, including instructions to “write out your bullet points here” in the mental health section of her campaign platform and a bizarre inclusion of gun control policy on her Social Security page. Crockett had just launched a series of policy pages last week. Both gaffes have since been fixed. The campaign website blunders were first flagged by a senior CNN reporter, Edward-Isaac Dovere, who spotted the...

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s U.S. Senate campaign released its first political advertisement of the hotly contested Senate primary race targeting Sen. John Cornyn, marking an escalation in a race that’s been expected to have plenty of fireworks. The ad centers on past remarks by U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett praising Cornyn’s bipartisan cooperation, a theme Paxton’s campaign is using to frame the incumbent senator’s record as increasingly aligned with cross-party dealmaking. The release comes as Cornyn’s Republican challengers have publicly criticized him for declining to participate in debates. The advertisement strings together clips in which Crockett describes Cornyn as “helpful”...

Brief summary: The host discusses a recent Emerson College/Nexstar Media poll for the 2026 Texas US Senate Democratic primary. It shows Rep. James Talarico leading with 47% support, while Rep. Jasmine Crockett trails at 38% (15% undecided, ±4.8% margin of error). The video strongly criticizes Crockett (using terms like "ghetto Democrat"), arguing her race-focused rhetoric, comments on Texas racism, historical oppression, immigration/slavery distinctions, and insults toward certain Latino voters make her unelectable in a conservative state. It includes clips of Crockett expressing campaign confidence (citing Texas demographics, Black voter base, and low turnout) and internal Democratic concerns about her limited...

Prominent Dallas pastor Frederick Haynes kicked off his campaign Monday to be the Democratic nominee for Texas' 30th congressional district — seeking to replace Jasmine Crockett, who is running for U.S. Senate. Haynes passionately made his case to the crowd at the Black Academy of Arts and Letters in Fair Park, framing himself as an outsider to Washington who would shake things up. He told the crowd he supports quality health care for all, economic equality and abolishing the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. ICE has come under fire in response to the Trump administration’s immigration crackdowns, and most...

“Saturday Night Live” alum Bowen Yang and comedian Matt Rogers spoke out after their remarks that voters shouldn’t ‘waste’ money backing Texas firebrand Jasmine Crockett drew ire. The pair had made the comments on the latest episode of their “Las Culturistas” podcast released Thursday, which drew swift backlash from their left-leaning fans. “Anytime a politician is making it too obviously about themselves, I’m already done, and don’t waste your money sending it to Jasmine Crockett… just don’t do it,” Rogers, 35, said
