One of Texas’s most prominent personal injury lawyers has endorsed state Rep. James Talarico (D) in the Lone Star State’s widely watched Senate race. Thomas J. Henry, a fixture of Texas TV ads and billboards, posted a video to the social platform X on Thursday announcing he would support Talarico’s candidacy. “The reason I’m supporting James is I had the opportunity to meet with him in person for quite a long period of time and go over the issues that affect Texas and affect our country. And I found that James’s approach to these problems that affect Texas and our...

The recording, obtained by The Cougar Chronicle, features Venna Anne and Ashton Hirschi, both identified as POPAI leaders, speaking during a meeting earlier this month. During a conversation about capitalism, someone told Anne that “You just can’t get away from capitalism.” Anne replied, “No, unless we kill everybody.” Hirschi responded that they only needed to kill “some” people and initially settled on “500.” Anne then said, “You also have to kill their children and their [line of succession].” Hirschi agreed, stating, “We need to get the politicians.” When asked whether ICE agents could integrate back into society, Hirschi said, “If...

Two members of the Bush family, the Republican political dynasty that counts Texas as its political launchpad, have backed Democrat James Talarico in the hotly fought race for a Senate seat in the Lone Star State.

In a recent appearance on Steve Bannon’s War Room on Tuesday, Tiffany Justice discussed Pennsylvania mail-in/return ballot numbers. Tiffany is a Senior Advisor for Citizens Alliance and also co-founded Moms for Liberty. She is a very smart and eloquent speaker, someone you listen to whenever you see her on a show you like. Tiffany had good news for Republicans from Pennsylvania: Tiffany Justice: "The GOP returns are already higher than at this point in 2022. So, the GOP share of returned ballots has reached 25%. As of August 19th, 2022, it was just 20%. So things are looking really good...

Vice President JD Vance took questions from reporters on Wednesday and was asked about Vivek Ramaswamy’s highly controversial attack ad against Democrat Amy Acton, which has roiled the already nasty Ohio governor’s race. “Vice President, Daniel Bush with the BBC. Thank you. You mentioned after this you’re going to a campaign event. Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign put out a controversial ad featuring his opponent’s mother. Republicans, some are backing away from that. Do you think that that ad was appropriate?” Vance was asked during an Ohio press conference. “Well, I’ll be honest with you, whether the ad was appropriate or not...

At the Farm Stand Yesterday Leftist Simpering, Islamic Accepting Accolades as Due So I was standing in line at the farm stand and in front of me were three Islamic women, in full garb, the full monty: veils, wimples, and floor length dresses. They were buying coffees and cookies. Anyhow. Average looking brown women. Up to them comes a thin old white woman. She starts telling them that they are SO BEAUTIFUL! She is raving about their SPECIAL BEAUTY. The women nod and suck it up. The woman is going on about this thinking she is just so liberal to...

Republican Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is doubling down on a controversial ad featuring his Democratic opponent Amy Acton’s estranged mother, but it seems to be catastrophically backfiring on him as his odds of winning the election have cratered. In the ad, Donna Arthur, the candidate’s estranged mother who lost custody of her and her younger brother when Acton was 12, lambasts her daughter as a “liar” and urges viewers not to vote for her. Acton has publicly spoken about her troubled childhood for years, well before she ran for office, including the reason her mother lost custody: documented neglect...

Former President George W. Bush’s brother, Neil Bush, has revealed he voted for Democratic candidate James Talarico for U.S. Senate in Texas, calling President Donald Trump's bid to overturn the 2020 election "an affront to our democratic institutions.""I voted early today, and I voted for James Talarico for the United States Senate," the Texan businessman wrote in a post on Facebook on Tuesday in a snub to Republican candidate Ken Paxton.

Republican Texas Attorney General and U.S. Senate candidate Ken Paxton took his campaign through the Houston area on Tuesday, with stops in Conroe and Sugar Land. Voters packed an event space at The Table at Madeley in Conroe to hear Paxton speak. Paxton used nearly 20 minutes on stage to outline his plan to fight rising prices and to stress his record as attorney general. "When [President] Joe Biden came for the Lone Star State, I went after him. I took him to court and sued him 107 times in four years, and I won," Paxton said. "Biden declared war...

Michael R. Bloomberg, the billionaire former mayor of New York, is giving roughly $80 million to help Democrats in the midterms as the flood of spending in the sprint to Election Day begins to come into focus. The first of two campaign finance filing deadlines this week will also provide a look at the Trump political operation’s big spending to help Republicans battle significant headwinds in midterm races.

Bikers for Trump Alaska has endorsed Republican Bernadette Wilson for governor, adding another grassroots group to her roster of supporters as Alaska enters the final stretch before the Nov. 3 election. The endorsement follows President Donald Trump’s backing of Wilson at his Oct. 13 rally in Wasilla. Trump’s endorsement placed the president squarely behind Wilson in Alaska’s contest for governor. He said he had asked Dave Bronson to suspend his campaign and that Bronson agreed to suspend, but then went back on his word. Bikers for Trump is a national political organization composed primarily of motorcycle enthusiasts who support Trump....

Prime Minister Mark Carney welcomed the result. “Albertans chose Canada,” he said in a statement. “All Canadians will move forward together with renewed purpose and high ambition.” In...

You cannot make this up. A viral video from the chaotic streets of Milan captures a liberal Italian woman furiously lecturing police officers for using force against third-world migrant rioters. “What are you doing?! Why are you grabbing them by force like that?” she said. She demands they treat the thugs “like civilians” and simply “ask them for ID.” Seconds later, one of the very rioters she was defending throws an explosive. The clip, posted by Matt Van Swol, shows the woman in the midst of the weekend’s violent unrest, arguing with officers in riot gear as the crowd surges...
