Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico said he believes state laws have stacked the deck against him as he looks to become the first Democrat to win statewide office since 1994. "Means you’re probably going to have to win by a little more than we would have to in a completely free and fair election," Talarico said in a recent podcast interview. Talarico’s posture towards Texas voting laws reflects a broader Democratic belief that Republican dominance in the Lone Star State is due to low turnout brought on by election security measures rather than the state’s conservative leanings — a...

Yes, the United States effectively inherited the existing institution of slavery in the territory acquired through the Louisiana Purchase of 1803 from France (which had briefly reacquired it from Spain in 1800). The U.S. did not introduce slavery there as a new practice; it was already well-established under prior colonial rule, and the transfer preserved the property rights of slaveholders. Historical Context of Slavery in the Louisiana Territory * French origins: France introduced chattel slavery to the Louisiana colony starting in the early 1700s, importing enslaved Africans (beginning around 1710) to support plantation agriculture, alongside some raids on Native American...

This one will tick you off. Unbelievable how these cretinous girls act when caught.

This one seems genuinely crazy. Claims she has lots of names, it gets pretty entertaining she also somehow thinks everyone is jealous of her, but I don't even think she knows what that word even means. There are lots and lots of these videos on YouTube, it's really amazing what these LEO's have to put up with from these horrible people. It really sucks they have to be kept busy dealing with these abusive low-life's, taking them away from other important police work.

NATIONAL NUT DAY National Nut Day is observed annually on October 22nd. This day is NOT about the neighbor that lives down the street or the co-worker who sings with their headphones on.

The attack on the weekly march of those remembering...

This was the week I became convinced that Don Lemon is an undercover MAGA operative. The former CNN presenter was on Bill Maher’s podcast the other day and was asked about the dire outlook for the Democratic Party. Which way should it go? “People love AOC” Lemon ventured. “People love Jasmine Crockett. People love Eric Swalwell and the like. I think the Democratic Party should put people out there who the people want — who they’re asking for.” Maher begged to differ. People do not want these people, he pointed out. But Lemon continued to insist otherwise. Personally I suspect...

“I see the pundits on TV [asking], ‘what’s wrong with the Democratic Party?’ What’s wrong is our country is being stolen by fascists and Nazis and we’re trying to do all we can to try and [stop] that,” Walz said according to the recording... “We spent three days, you know, having them try to debate whether President Musk gave a Nazi salute,” Walz told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow during a Jan. 28 segment. “Of course he did. But that is a distraction.”
