Tex's Place

By Jennifer Oliver O'Connell After Democrat Ayanna Pressley (MA-07) took to X to crow about her victory (with the help of 10 Republicans) in gaining passage of the discharge petition to extend the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian migrants, Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) quote-tweeted her video and then let her know what time it was. This is dead on arrival in the Senate. Temporary Protected Status is just that: temporary. Beyond that, 91% of all Haitian TPS holders entered the country illegally. In the last election, the American people rejected mass migration policies that effectively grant amnesty to… https://t.co/eim5EUE3AA — Senator Katie Boyd Britt (@SenKatieBritt) April 17, 2026 This is dead on arrival in the Senate. Temporary Protected Status is just that: temporary. Beyond that, 91% of all Haitian TPS holders entered the country illegally.  In the last election, the American people rejected mass migration policies that effectively grant amnesty to illegal aliens....

By Rusty Weiss Insanity. It's a word that gets bandied about in the political world these days, nearly daily. Shocking story after shocking story, followed by insane responses and inane commentary. Ninety-nine percent of which comes from our friends on the left side of the aisle. Insanity. It's also usually pretty accurate. And it's how the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has chosen to describe New York City's sanctuary policies after officials  refused an ICE detainer  for illegal alien Roman Ceron Amatitla. Amatitla is a 38-year-old Mexican national illegal alien who has been charged with eight counts of second-degree murder and first-degree arson for randomly setting a fire in a Flushing, Queens apartment building that killed four people. Among the four who perished was a three-year-old child. The blaze also injured at least seven others. DHS acting assistant secretary Lauren Bis called the suspect a "monster." New York City officials, however, vi...

By Becky Noble America will be dealing with a lot of issues for a while, thanks to Joe Biden's open border policy. One of those issues is looking at the 18-wheeler next to you as you get on the interstate and hoping the driver speaks English and can read road signs. It's an issue that has concerned all Americans since last August, when three people were killed at the hands of a driver who never should have been in the country. The Trump administration has threatened to withhold highway funding for states that did not crack down on these drivers, but some states still don't get it. If you are the type of person who believes Kathy Hochul followed the rules when issuing licenses to foreign truck drivers, then you are the problem. — JNovy (@JNovy_) April 17, 2026 On Thursday, in a letter to Gov. Kathy Hochul's New York Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), the U.S.  Department of Transportation announced it would be  pulling $74 million in highway grants from the state ...

By Brad Slager It is assured that when the press attempts to lecture the devout on the details and parameters of the Scripture and Christianity, they are more likely to trip on their rosary and face-plant in the rectory. Watching those trying to speak not only authoritatively but with condescension on a subject with which they normally hold contempt is often hilarious. It is simply a marvel how our media complex refuses to learn even the most basic lessons. For years, the press has noted the steep decline in public trust in the media, but few, if any, are working to address the problem. Instead, they are content to not only continue delivering fractured versions of journalism but to craft creative narratives. The Iran conflict has seen that practice ramped up even higher, with claims that Iran is winning the war. Now we have the press displaying this within the span of one day, and proving their target correct in the process. This morning, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth laid into th...

By Joy Pullmann The amazingly named Sparkle Sooknanan was rewarded with judicial robes for helping violate the law and Constitution. New federal documents released Monday shed more light on the wildly partisan history of power abuses by the troubled D.C. District Court’s  newest judge , Sparkle Sooknanan. An approximately 900-page Department of Justice  report  released Monday  details systematic abuses of power  and constitutional violations by Biden administration efforts to prosecute Americans for pro-life speech. Public records inside the report show the amazingly named Sooknanan was deeply involved in these systemic abuses of law and power. And she was rewarded with judicial robes for helping violate the law and Constitution. And of course no anti-Trump, anti-conservative operation is complete without the key involvement of Lisa Monaco. She also was heavily involved in the criminal investigations against President Trump, particularly the documents case...

By Tyler Durden Via Remix News, A 19-year-old Afghan national has been arrested and charged following a series of brutal sexual attacks on goats and sheep in Pennes-Mirabeau, a municipality in Bouches-du-Rhône, near Marseille. The suspect was taken into custody by the anti-crime brigade (BAC) on the night of April 9-10, 2026, after local sheep and goat owners alerted police. Since early 2026, several owners had discovered their animals injured, with incidents reported in both February and March. The animals had their legs tied and showed clear signs of rape,  according to French newspaper  La Provence . After multiple similar episodes, the owners installed motion-sensor cameras on their properties in an attempt to identify the perpetrator. The footage revealed the silhouette of a young man visiting their livestock at night, and the images were handed over to police, who were eventually able to identify a matching suspect. The man appeared before a judge on Saturday, April ...

By Bob Hoge Boy, it’s going to be fascinating to see how this one plays out. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08), California Gov. Newsom, and their ilk have been demonizing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for months on end, calling them the Gestapo and other incendiary names.  On Tuesday, meanwhile, we brought you the outlandish story of California gubernatorial candidate Tom Steyer’s calling for open warfare on the federal law enforcement agency. The man has seemingly lost his marbles. But Hennepin County District Attorney Mary Moriarty just upped the stakes on Thursday by charging an ICE agent — 35-year-old Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr. — with two felony counts of second-degree assault for actions he committed… while on duty. Moriarty, the first LGBTQ person to fill the role, a fact that the media constantly reminds us of as if that makes any difference to her law enforcement abilities, delivered a stern press conf...
