Washington (CNN)Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz told supporters at a rally on Saturday that Democrats wanted to make Texas like California and listed off a few things as stereotypical staples of the blue state. "We are seeing tens of millions of dollars flooding into the state of Texas from liberals all over the country who desperately want to turn the state of Texas blue," Cruz said. "They want us to be just like California, right down to tofu and silicon and dyed hair." Cruz added that his wife, Heidi Cruz, was "a California vegetarian." "She's wonderful, but I brought her...

Chris Wallace says that the Woodward Book, the anonymous NYT op-ed, and Obama’s fiery speech were a “1-2-3 Punch” combination on Trump this week. But the word is that President Trump may be about to launch a devastating counterattack. It certainly looks that way. The word is that the White House legal team is examining the original FISA Court application and renewal applications for the warrant to surveil Carter Page. As President Trump considers declassifying the 20 pages of these documents that were released completely (or heavily) redacted this summer, as many in Congress have requested, the White House wants...

President Donald Trump sent his thanks to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Sunday after the country made changes to its military parade in Pyongyang. North Korea celebrated its 70-year anniversary on Sunday with a show of its military strength but strayed from the traditional display of the country’s intercontinental missiles. The parade instead featured floats and flowers as Kim chose to focus on building economic power. Trump, who met with Kim for a denuclearization summit in Singapore in June, tweeted his gratitude to the North Korean dictator on Sunday. “This is a big and very positive statement from...

FULL TITLE: Two Miami Dolphins wide receivers become first players of 2018 season to take the knee during national anthem, just hours after Trump blamed the sport's poor TV ratings on the ongoing protest President Donald Trump is slamming the National Football League for low ratings and blaming players for protesting during the national anthem as two Miami Dolphins players took to the knee Sunday during 'The Star Spangled Banner' as football season began in earnest. 'Wow, NFL first game ratings are way down over an already really bad last year comparison. Viewership declined 13%, the lowest in over a...

Colin Kaepernick thanked a pair of Miami Dolphins players for taking a knee during the playing of the national anthem prior to the first game of the NFL regular season Sunday. Miami Dolphins wide receivers Kenny Stills and Albert Wilson were the first -- and as of Sunday evening, the only -- two players to kneel during "The Star-Spangled Banner" prior to a Week 1 game. "My Brothers [Stills] and [Wilson] continue to show their unwavering strength by fighting for the oppressed! They have not backed down, even when attacked and intimidated." Kaepernick wrote on Twitter, adding, "Love is at...

Matt Drudge, the founder of the highly influential news site the Drudge Report, trolled Obama in a rare tweet on Friday after the former president crawled out of his hole to trash Trump. Obama gave a speech at the University of Illinois on Friday. He trashed Trump then arrogantly took credit for Trump’s booming economy. The former president kicked off his campaign tour to help the Democrats win this fall in the midterms–only he will do them more damage than good. Obama was a horrible president. He is the only president in history to never see a single year of...

President Obama lectured President Trump, accused him of racism, and attempted to take credit for President Trump’s economic miracle. But Barack Obama’s worst lie was his remarks on Benghazi. Barack Obama: “The politics of division and paranoia has found a home, unfortunately, in the Republican party. … they’ve embraced wild conspiracy theories by those surrounding Benghazi. Or my birth certificate.” Benghazi hero Kris Paronto responded to the former president. Kris has not forgotten about the men lost as Obama did nothing. Apparently Kris ‘Tanto’ Paronto can’t defend against the lies so Twitter promptly put him in a timeout. Twitter did...

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump Happy Anniversary! #ProudDeplorable

Never fails. Obama shows up, makes some silly and pointless speech about himself … err … about the country, and the Left salivates like one of Pavlov’s dogs who just heard a bell ring. Not to mention the weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth from the MEDIA crying for their Messiah, claiming he was a better president and they felt safe with him in the White House. Brian Stelter was impressively pathetic. But other media types remember President Obama a tad differently, like Sharyl Attkisson, who quotes several different outlets talking about the media ‘abuses’ from the Obama administration. Sharyl...

On Saturday’s “AM Joy,” host Joy Reid discussed the anonymous New York Times op-ed and said, “far be it from me to agree with Sarah Huckabee Sanders on something, but nobody elected whoever this is to run the country.” Reid began by stating, “Of course, steering the administration in the right direction didn’t involve stopping the separation and caging of immigrant children or using the constitutional option of removing Trump by the 25th Amendment. No, the right direction is apparently the one where the ‘resistor’ gets to preserve the things they like.” Reid also cited a New Yorker piece by...

The Dems have tried every trick in the playbook-call me everything under the sun. But if I’m all of those terrible things, how come I beat them so badly, 306-223? Maybe they’re just not very good! The fact is they are going CRAZY only because they know they can’t beat me in 2020!

In a video published on Infowars.com on Saturday, Alex Jones declared that “digital martial law” is being put in place to “shut down all free speech that is not pro-leftist and pro-democratic party.” “We are going under digital martial law just 58 days out from the (midterm) election,” Jones said in the video. “This is authoritarianism. Every prominent conservative or nationalist or capitalist or pro-Trump person I know has either been shadowbanned or completely banned on Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, you name it. They’re going after prominent conservative, Jewish activist David Horowitz and taking away their credit card processing … They...

I think I've been shadow banned on Twitter. Nobody is responding to my comments or posts when I challenge conventional liberals. Is there a way to confirm? And what to do? Thanks

In the wake of Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey’s admission that some 600,000 accounts, including some members of Congress, were “unfairly” shadowbanned on its platform, a perfect opportunity has formed to fully answer the question of whether these accounts were of Democrats or Republicans. Dorsey couldn’t say for himself if the shadowbanned accounts leaned left or right, but beyond the suspicion caused by the companies open actions on its platform that seem to be targeting those right of center, Twitter employees themselves have already let the world in on who its algorithms target and why. A hopefully not forgotten undercover investigation...

The Senate confirmed 8 more of @POTUS’s judicial nominees today. Woohoo for Leader McConnel!

<p>White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders called for the resignation of an anonymous official who wrote an op-ed in the New York Times disparaging President Donald Trump.</p> <p>To be clear, ours is not the popular “resistance” of the left. We want the administration to succeed and think that many of its policies have already made America safer and more prosperous.</p>

Infowars founder Alex Jones just got completely silenced on Thursday afternoon, after he was banned by both Twitter and Periscope. These were the last social-media platforms that still allowed Alex Jones to disseminate his message to the American people, after Infowars was “disappeared” by YouTube, Apple and Facebook, among others. According to Mark Dice, this happened because reasons. Check this out: In August, Jones received a one-week suspension after CNN provided Twitter with a number of instances where his tweets appeared to violate the company’s user policies. As you can see, regardless of what you think about him, Alex Jones...

Claims he violates company's 'abusive behavior policies' WASHINGTON – Alex Jones and Infowars.com Thursday were declared permanently persona non grata at Twitter. Twitter has banned accounts for the fiery and controversial talker and his website, apparently forever. It’s not clear if the permanent ban is unprecedented. Jones is known as an opponent of globalism, a proponent of borders, an attacker of the Deep State and a supporter of President Trump. All acknowledge he’s got a huge audience and following. Today, we permanently suspended @realalexjones and @infowars from Twitter and Periscope. We took this action based on new reports of Tweets...

Rep. Billy Long (R-Mo.) uses his auctioneer skills to drown out a protester at Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey's House hearing.

Accounts for Jones and Infowars were also banned from Twitter-owned Periscope. Twitter has permanently banned the accounts of right-wing conspiracy theorist and radio host Alex Jones and InfoWars for violating the company's abusive behavior policies, the company said Thursday. The ban appears to be related to a heated exchange between Jones and a CNN reporter Wednesday, which Jones live-streamed on the Twitter-owned video service Periscope. Jones ranted at the reporter, as well as Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, following back-to-back congressional hearings where Dorsey addressed online election interference, as well as accusations of political bias and conservative censorship on the platform....
