Sen. John Cornyn’s (R-TX) record is receiving increased scrutiny as the Washington establishment spends tens of millions to save the embattled incumbent from a grassroots challenge by MAGA-aligned Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Cornyn and his allies spent a staggering $70 million in the primary to paint the four-term career politician as a friend of President Donald Trump with a conservative record – spending that made the Texas Republican Senate primary the most expensive primary in the nation’s history. But those Washington consultant-crafted ads hide that Cornyn has spent nearly a decade working to stop President Donald Trump and more than two decades undermining the conservative movement.

Trump will lose some ground by trying to push this RINO on Texas voters.

Just like McCain, Murkowski, Romney, Graham and so many others, he is a traitor and depends on the short memory of his idiot voters. It works every time. This country is unworthy of the freedom we once had.

It doesn't take a 'study' to see a snake in the grass, just use your eyes and ears, and common sense. Trump is no fool, he should already know Cornyn. Seems like most of this sites posters know.

The uniparty Rino's and Democrats are desperate to keep Cornyn, spending 100 million against Paxton 4 million in the March 3 primary, and they are going to spend another 100 million on the May 26 runoff. Paxton has little money, so may be able to spend $2 million. No Trump, or endorsement from the divinities, is going to save Cornyn, as Texas voters have tried two election cycles to get rid of him, and are determined to finish the job this time. Cornyn last time got his opponent jailed. This time the uniparty spent more millions to split the vote with a third candidate. Now, in total desperation, the Cornyn crowd is begging Trump for an endorsement, as the Rino's cling to power like clinging film that cannot be shaken from your hands.

Have no fear, Trump will make the wrong decision. When it comes to decisions on people, most of the time he is wrong. I'm still puzzled why we still have Bondi.... I will say for SOME of his picks for his administration (Hegseth, Rubio, Vance) were outstanding. Letting Noem go, in my opinion was a big mistake. She had the impossible task to clean up what Biden did to our nation with open doors at our border and she did one hack of a job.

Jan. 6 Narrative Control: Virginia’s
HB 333 Requires ‘Insurrection’ Framing
If Topic Is Taught
10 replies
Posted by ConservativeYankee 3/6/2026 7:03:41 PM Post Reply
Virginia lawmakers have now advanced a bill to regulate how public school teachers discuss the events of January 6, 2021. House Bill 333 (HB 333), passed by the Democratic-controlled legislature in Richmond, would directly block teachers from presenting the Capitol protest as a “peaceful demonstration” or suggesting that any widespread fraud tainted the 2020 presidential election. The legislation makes Virginia the first Democratic-led state to wade into this type of “censorship territory.” The bill is permissive, not required—schools may choose to teach about it, but only if they follow the rules. It doesn’t force any school to include January 6 in their curriculum.

President Trump didn’t attend the star-studded memorial service for the Rev. Jesse Jackson but he was at the top of mind for many of its speakers. Kamala Harris, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and Al Sharpton all used their eulogies to take pot shots at the president, his policies, and his vision for America. “Let me just say I predicted a lot about what’s happening right now,” Harris bragged as the crowd roared in applause. “I’m not into saying I told you so but we did see it coming." She did not mention Trump by name but it was clear she was talking about his presidency. Trump overwhelmingly beat her

Sen. Tim Scott has spent years carefully building this image as a friendly, non-threatening Republican who gets along with everyone. He smiles, keeps his tone upbeat, and rarely picks a fight (unless it’s on behalf of George Floyd). That approach might work for cable news interviews, but it doesn’t work when you’re supposed to be running one of the most important political operations in the country. Right now, Tim Scott is in charge of the National Republican Senatorial Committee. That job has one very important responsibility. Tim is in charge of recruiting strong candidates, raising lots of money, organizing high-level strategy, and helping Republicans win Senate races.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said Thursday that the United States has no plans to admit a new wave of Middle Eastern refugees as the conflict with Iran unfolds. President Donald Trump announced in a Truth Social video early Saturday that the U.S. military launched Operation Epic Fury alongside Israel’s Operation Lion’s Roar. During a press briefing about the Iran attack, a reporter asked whether the Trump administration had safeguards in place to prevent a surge of refugees entering the United States.
Germany: McDonald’s During Ramadan is

In Europe, where 47 million Muslims now live, more and more businesses are demonstrating their respect for Islam, hoping their sensitivity to Muslim needs will turn some — many — of those Muslims into satisfied customers. The latest tale of Islamopandering comes from Germany, where all McDonald’s stores have chosen to observe Ramadan by taking the food out of its advertising. As they used to say, it’s just the sizzle without the steak. No burgers, no fries, no special sauce. Nothing to see but an empty paper container. Christine Douglass-Williams wrote about this an hour ago, and more on the latest example of preposterous kowtowing to Muslims

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is continuing its investigation into former President Joe Biden’s use of an autopen in the final months of his administration — focusing on pardons and commutations — though a senior official said Biden is unlikely to face criminal exposure. A senior DOJ official told Fox News the autopen investigation is ongoing and not closed, adding investigators are reviewing clemency actions taken in the final months of the Biden administration. The official also pointed out, however, that the use of an autopen by a sitting president is "established law." The issue under review is whether the autopen was used in violation of the law, specifically, whether

President Donald Trump said he is appointing Kristi Noem as his “special envoy for the Shield of the Americas” as he announced her removal as homeland security secretary. The White House says the initiative reflects Trump’s effort to shift U.S. national security strategy toward the Western Hemisphere. Trump is scheduled to meet Saturday with leaders from 11 Latin American countries at his golf club in Doral, Florida, for what the administration is calling a “Shield” summit. Leaders from Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Honduras, Panama, Paraguay, and Trinidad and Tobago are expected to attend,

Something pretty big just went down behind the scenes in the federal government, and it could end up changing the entire illegal immigration game. According to a new report, the Department of Homeland Security appears to be stepping in and taking a more aggressive role in investigating illegal employment inside the United States. And no, they’re not politely coordinating with the IRS. They basically just told them to “take a seat.” DHS is reportedly bypassing the IRS and using its own investigative team to dig into the relationship between employers and illegal workers. For years, everyone avoided this tactic. Why? Because the uniparty knew it would actually break the pipeline,

53 House Democrats Vote ‘No’ on Declaring
Iran a ‘State Sponsor of Terrorism’

A significant number of House Democrats voted “no” on declaring the Islamic Republic of Iran a “state sponsor of terrorism.” Sponsored by Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL), the resolution passed the U.S. House on Thursday by a 372-53 vote. Two Democrats voted present. While squad members like Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) were expected to vote “no,” a full 53 proved somewhat surprising. The resolution said nothing about President Trump’s strikes on Iran, while saying the regime “remains the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism and provides substantial financial and military support to groups including Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis,”

 American gasoline prices continued to rise on Friday and are up the most of any week since 2022. Iran widened attacks on energy-producing countries near its borders and the Strait of Hormuz remains closed to shipping, dashing hopes for a quick resolution to a crisis sending shockwaves through global markets. The United States last Saturday began a military campaign in Iran, one that has continued throughout the week with aggression. Friday at 1 p.m. Eastern, the U.S. national average price for regular gasoline had jumped approximately 35.9 cents per gallon from the same time in the previous week, reaching approximately $3.34 per gallon, according to GasBuddy.

By blocking a Senate vote that would let the SAVE Act become law, Democrats are setting themselves up for big trouble — since their arguments against voter-ID are so transparently absurd. Per Pew, 83% of all American adults support requiring some form of ID to vote in US elections — and that includes 71% of Democrats. Which explains the massive alliance of left-wing groups mobilized to fight the voter-ID measure that should appear on the ballot this fall in California, a state Democrats now completely dominate. The ACLU, Common Cause and so on would love to derail the measure before it faces a vote, even though

The argument against the war with Iran boils down to two points. The first point is that this war was initiated by the hated President Trump, and so it should be opposed. That point cannot be rebutted because it is not a point at all; it’s simply a reactionary expression of hate by people who scarcely bother to conceal their hope that Iran wins. So, let’s move on to the second point.The second point is that we were able to handle Iran’s aggression for many years without going to war, and so we could have continued to handle its aggression for many more years without going to war.

We should all be concerned about serious problems with our elections, the heart of our democracy. But we can’t fix problems that we refuse to face. There was no better example of the head-in-the-sand attitude than what was recently demonstrated by Kristen Welker of NBC’s prestigious Meet the Press, as she held forth with House Speaker Mike Johnson in February, regarding, among other topics, the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. In the wake of the Trump administration’s FBI seizure of 2020 Georgia election records, Welker barked at Johnson that raising questions about the validity of the 2020 election is dangerous to our democracy.
