Tex's Place

By Nick Arama President Donald Trump certainly has a knack for trolling.  There was one epic troll he pulled on a Taliban leader. Rep. Wesley Hunt (TX- 38), who was there, recounted the tale, as Stephen Green at our sister site PJ Media reported . Trump told the leader he wanted to leave Afghanistan, but it had to be a conditions-based withdrawal (not the pell-mell chaos that Joe Biden ended up having). Trump gave a blunt warning to the Taliban leader, "If you harm a hair on a single American, I'm going to kill you." Not something you generally hear from an American leader.  Then he drove the point home when he pulled a picture of the Taliban leader's home out of his pocket, handed it to him, and left.  Now that's how you deliver a message. Something tells me the leader got it.   Now to the present. The United Nations General Assembly high-level week starts on Tuesday. That puts us in the odd position of having to issue visas to Iranian President Masoud Pezesh...

By Nick Arama Looks like some of the media are not liking that President Donald Trump called out CNN, MS NOW, and Politico for "fake news."  We saw that those outlets were basically put out on the sidewalk to do their "reporting" (and their whining) since they were banned from briefings. Then they announced this morning they would be suing to get access back and "to protect our First Amendment rights and defend the principle that the government does not decide what the press reports or publishes." But the government wasn't telling them what to report or publish, and they were fully free to criticize the action and file a lawsuit.  Trump fired back, saying he was "not instituting an assault on the Free Press, something which I cherish," but trying to hit back at fake news.  As a result of the ban, there was a question about what would happen with the pool reports, of which CNN was a part. CNN was supposed to have pool duties on Monday.  N...

By Mike Miller Not only did far-left —dare I say "anti-American"? — Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar do it again; she targeted President Donald Trump's coveted "Big Beautiful Bill," which promptly fired up Trump supporters and other rational Americans to rally against her latest "un-American" legislative proposal. Let's begin by putting it this way: Apparently, enforcing immigration law is now considered a natural disaster . Omar's solution? Take nearly $140 billion, earmarked for ICE and Border Patrol, and redistribute it to communities affected by legal enforcement — including nonprofits and businesses — for “recovery.”  In other words, defund immigration enforcement, declare the enforcement itself the bogeyman, and then send taxpayers the bill for the cleanup — caused by violent protesters, not ICE — all the while pandering herself silly to the illegal alien "community."  Shocked? Me, neither. Omar explained in a press release th...

By Stella Morabito Democrats in general, and the Democratic Socialists of America in particular, are paying a lot more attention to rural America. Texas Senate Democrat candidate James Talarico’s spiritual leader, the lesbian preacher Babs Miller, was recently caught on hidden camera admitting he’s lying to voters about his positions: “I can guarantee you that once he’s elected he’ll change his tune” on transgender politics, she told an undercover reporter. Deceiving voters is Democrats’ strategy because their political extremism is unpopular. Democrats especially know they cannot win fair elections without making inroads in rural and small-town America, like the Texas areas Talarico needs to win a Senate seat. In fact, Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed’s campaigning in rural areas may have given him the edge in his primary against Haley Stevens. Democrats in general, and the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) in particular, are paying a lot more attention to rural A...

By M. D. Kittle The 70-plus images, obtained by The Oversight Project, show the disparate treatment of Biden and Trump in their classified docs cases. The swamp’s two-tiered system of justice was on full display in the classified documents cases of two presidents: Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Trump, the swamp-drainer-in-chief, faced 40 federal charges in a political witch hunt; Biden, the “ sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man,” got a pass.  Now, newly released photographic evidence from the FBI’s search of the Biden Center and the autopen president’s Wilmington, Delaware, residence confirm the “kid-glove treatment” the 46th president received compared to the raid-and-rifle approach agents took to Trump’s south Florida estate.  The photos, exclusively provided to The Federalist, were obtained through hard-fought litigation by the Oversight Project , the government watchdog that won release of audio recordings of Biden chatting with his ghostwriter about the classified ...
