Texas is putting up an inflatable wall in the center of the Rio Grande River to create an additional barrier for migrants attempting to illegally enter the U.S. Gov. Greg Abbott announced the new measure to help quell the southern border crisis. The 1,000-foot inflatable barrier will be placed in the middle of the river near Eagle Pass, Texas – a highly popular crossing spot for migrants across from Piedras Negras in the state of Coahuila, Mexico.During a press conference Thursday, the Texas governor unveiled a photo rendering of the water-based barrier on buoys in the middle of the Rio Grande River.

Bundle up all the plastic waste from China, found along our Pacific coast, pack it into "bales" wrapped in fiberglass nets and finally spirally wound in concertina wire. Connect them all end to end and float them in the same manner down the Rio Grande. Finally, a worthwhile "repurpose" of plastic waste!

I notice that Texas promised a few months ago that it would take care of the federal government's problem. I applaud this move. Texas knows better than to expect a Thank You or any repayment from the ingrates in the Biden Administration. That isn't why Texas created the barrier.

The Supreme Court is getting ready to hand down a decision any day now on President Joe Biden's proposed student loan forgiveness plan – and progressives are scrambling to find a way to still wipe clean that debt. Meanwhile, the group that launched one of the lawsuits that landed the resident's plan at the Supreme Court says that they will sue any workarounds the Biden administration tries to jam through. Job Creators Network President and CEO Alfredo Ortiz told DailyMail.com that the Department of Education (DOE) is actively working on workarounds to still get at least $10,000 taken off of the debts of most borrowers with outstanding student loans.

Former President Trump’s Republican primary competitors scrambled to respond to the freshly unsealed federal indictment threatening him with up to 400 years in prison — with reactions ranging from full-throated defense to outright condemnation. Former Vice President Mike Pence spoke warmly of his ex-boss Saturday as he addressed a friendly crowd of Republicans at North Carolina’s state GOP convention, saying he “couldn’t have been more proud to stand shoulder to shoulder every single day with President Donald Trump” during their single term in office. Pence condemned the Department of Justice for its “politicization,” calling Trump’s indictment “a sad day for America.”

Former President Donald Trump will slam “Democrat Communists” who “want to jail their opponents” at the Georgia Republican Party state convention, his first public appearance since being indicted on federal charges,” according to prepared remarks. Trump, the leading Republican presidential candidate, on Thursday announced that the Justice Department had indicted him in relation to the classified documents case, and the 49-page document was unsealed on Friday. In the speech, Trump is set to touch on the indictment, asserting there are “two standards of justice in the country.” The remarks read in part:

Former President Donald Trump is slated to speak at the Georgia Republican Party state convention in Columbus Saturday afternoon, his first public appearance since being indicted on 38 federal counts. He announced the indictment on Thursday, contending he is “an innocent man” before President Joe Biden’s Justice Department unsealed the 49-page document Friday afternoon. It marks the second indictment against the 45th president since April, when left-wing Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office announced a grand jury returned an indictment on charges it pursued in a case alleging Trump falsified business records.

Stephanopoulos clearly had no clue that’s what Trusty would invoke when he questioned whether he and Trump “believe...no person is above the law.”

The very day that the Oversight Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives canceled a Contempt of Congress vote against FBI Director Christopher Wray after the latter agreed to turn over a witness file containing bribery allegations against President Joe Biden stemming back to his days as vice president of the United States, Donald Trump—former president and current poll leader among prospective 2024 GOP presidential candidates—informed the public that he has been indicted for mishandling presidential documents. This extraordinary coincidence illustrates an important, baneful trend in American life: the use of criminal prosecutions and civil lawsuits as a political weapon.

Trump, who remains the front-runner for the 2024 GOP nomination despite his mounting legal woes, is expected to use his scheduled speeches at state party conventions in the two states to deliver a full-throated rebuke of the charges and amplify his assertions that he is the victim of a politically motivated “witch hunt” by Democratic President Joe Biden’s Justice Department.

That same day, the White House and the Pentagon said the reporting was “inaccurate,” without going into details. On Saturday, an administration official clarified by saying that the Chinese base in Cuba has already been established, noting that it didn’t happen on their watch.

The media and other Democrats repeatedly call Republicans fascists and dictators to intentionally mislead the public. Fascists are essentially authoritarians. Trump and other Republicans basically want to transfer power and money to the people, which is the opposite of what an authoritarian would do. Democrats are seeking to transfer as much power and money to the government, which is what fascists or dictators would do. Here are some examples: On healthcare, Democrats want to either have single payer, government-run insurance or want to dictate, as with Obamacare, exactly what must be in health care policies. Republicans want people and companies to have freedom of choice.
