Democrat Texas Senate Candidate James Talarico Claims Illegal Aliens are More Patriotic Than Americans
The Gateway Pundit Patriotic toward which nation?
"In a recent live interview on The Bulwark Podcast with host Tim Miller, Talarico boasted about his time teaching in San Antonio and how illegal aliens were more patriotic than Americans.
“'Before I was a politician, I was a public school teacher in San Antonio, Texas, on the west side of the city, and I taught a lot of undocumented students, and those students tended to be my most patriotic students,” Talarico claimed.
"Talarico didn’t stop there. He doubled down, claiming these illegal aliens “understood something about this country that a lot of us who are native born forget,” calling America “the land of opportunity” and “the place where dreams come true.”
"The liberal candidate added that they “believed in this country, even when this country didn’t believe in them,” while ripping Trump-era immigration policies as “immoral” and “unconscionable” for “terrorizing my former students and their families.” . . .More
Kathy Hochul sort of says: 'Oops'
Many now use "Democrat" instead of "Democratic" for the party led by Roosevelt, Truman and -with crossed fingers - JFK that we once respected and voted for. (Though Roosevelt sadly became a Stalin groupie). I see in them a total rejection of anything democratic. TD

"Blakeman is promising to cut taxes and make New York affordable. He’s not insulting the rich and telling them to leave. Those are, by New York standards, crazy ideas, but they’re so crazy they just might work."

The comments are a far cry from Hochul’s much-derided remarks from her 2022 election campaign where she ripped her GOP opponent, Rep. Lee Zeldin, as well as then-Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro and President Trump, telling them and other New York Republicans to scram.
“Trump and Zeldin and Molinaro – just jump on a bus and head down to Florida where you belong. OK? Get out of town. Because you don’t represent our values,” Hochul said at the time.
Well. Wealthy New Yorkers, people who run businesses employing thousands, all of whom contribute to the tax base of a state facing a $27.5 billion dollar budget deficit, which will surely be exacerbated by New York City Mayor Zhoran Mamdani’s full communist economic illiteracy—never go full communist--took Hochul’s arrogant advice. Mamdani is chasing out NYC’s billionaires, millionaires and folks who can’t afford the Big, rotten Apple anymore, and wants Hochul to bail him out." . . . More...
Today’s news about Iran’s attack on Diego Garcia proves Trump was right
"Unless every European leader is stupid beyond stupid, Europe just had a “come to Jesus” moment."
Andrea Widburg - American Thinker
"Like Carthage before it, Iran delenda est (that is, Iran must be destroyed). The world will be much safer and happier when a non-Muslim Persia arises from Iran’s ashes."
"Yesterday, Iran fired two ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia, a joint US-UK base. Both missed, but one got near the target. The attack is significant because it proves that Trump was absolutely right that this war needed to be fought, and fought sooner, rather than later.
Diego Garcia has been in the news of late, so it made a nice, symbolic target to prove Trump’s point.
The base is located in the Chagos Archipelago in the Indian Ocean, 2,500 miles due south of Mumbai. The islands are “only” 1,250 miles northeast of Mauritius, a dot in the Indian Ocean, due east of Madagascar. For very complicated reasons, Mauritius has laid claim to those islands, which have long been under British control.
In May 2025, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s government announced that it would transfer the Chagos Islands back to Mauritius. Trump strongly objected, saying that the islands, which house Diego Garcia, still have strategic value. Obviously, he was already thinking ahead to its value vis-à-vis Iran, and his objections were so powerful that, this February, Britain delayed the transfer.
However, although it delayed transferring the islands to Mauritius, the British government didn’t want the U.S. to use the base in the war against Iran. It eventually announced that the U.S. could only use the base “defensively.”
Defensiveness arrived yesterday:" . . .
"In other words, Iran just proved that it can attack every country within a 4,000 km radius of it. Imagine if those missiles weren’t armed with conventional warheads but were, instead, nuclear-tipped? Given Iran’s apocalyptic jihadism, it would control almost half the planet."
It Is Time To publicly Heal An American Patriot Whose Name Was Dragged Through The Mud: LTG Michael T. Flynn (US Army, Retired)
"Which is how it came to be that Trump had to Pardon an innocent man. Trump still needs to find a way to recognize Mike and make him whole: it is not too late."
. . . "I wrote a series of articles about Mike Flynn when he released his documentary about his railroading by the Obama Administration that continued long after President Trump took office.
"I did so because having met with and worked with my fellow Rhode Islander, I knew a little bit about what he had done in his military career and I found it disgusting and ridiculous that he was being singled out to be punished for the obvious offense of zealously supporting Donald J. Trump and getting caught up in the vitriol that many in that orbit drew from all quarters of the LSMBTGA.
"Mike was never made whole again after the criminal proceedings that about bankrupted him, forcing him to sell his home. The treatment of Flynn is a cautionary tale about the Trump orbit where many of those who stepped up to help have been manhandled, lawfared and broken financially by the deep state swamp: democrats-demonrats-all.
"People like Mike should be made whole somehow. If it happened to Trump he would sue the pants off of the FBI and DOJ and Obama: Trump can afford it.
"Whereas Mike-even after the charges were dropped because of the malfeasance of his lawyers-Covington and Burling (Michael Chertoff)-best that money can buy-and the DOJ prosecution team, as well as the FBI, had to be pardoned by Trump when Judge Emmit Sullivan refused to drop the case and actually appointed a lawyer to represent the court to continue the trial after the charges were dropped by DOJ.
"Putting Mike in the nebulous position of continuing to pay for the lawyers and rolling the dice-being an innocent man who was in the precarious position where if he continued to fight in court against Sullivan-who had the bagels to refer to Mike at one point in the proceedings as a traitor-lucky that Flynn did not kick his cowardly, big mouthed arse-and Sullivan ran out the clock with continuations that lapsed into a new administration-and it turned out to be Biden-then new DOJ Merrick Garland could reopen the case and continue to bankrupt Flynn through legal and court fees to an unknown end.
"There was no there, there to the Flynn railroading. The FBI didn’t finalize the official 302 of his interviews until weeks after it was conducted: it was finalized by lawyer Lisa Page-who was not part of the interview. The FBI had the transcript of his discussions with Kislyak all along: the future National Security Advisor conducting business with a key US concern. The word sanctions was never mentioned in the discussion.
"VP Mike Pence seemed only too anxious to turn on Flynn when he was being played by Sally Yates with seeming disregard for the facts: the dinosaur/Logan Act, really? GTFO here.
"And-of course-we now know that the declaration of persona non grata status to kick the Russian diplomats out of the US for election interference was made up, President Obama donkey dung nonsense: the plan hatched 9 December 2016 to cover the arse of Team Obama-who as of that date-lacked a predicate for such an action that had to be created by the slap dash Intelligence Community Assessment on Russian interference choreographed by Brennan later that month.
"Flynn was never an agent of a foreign government due to his status as a subcontractor to a firm that was registered. The work was in support of NATO ally Turkey. Regardless, his very expensive lawyers convinced him to file FARA paperwork, anyway-just to cover his butt-and that-like everything else-was leaked to the LSMBTGA as if it was an admission of guilt.
"His lawyers failed to advise him that the DOJ had offered a plea deal. What he eventually pled to was a drug deal, stop beating your wife ruse in an attempt to prevent the Feds from going after his son." . . . More...

Senate Democrats Kill Trump-Backed Amendment to Ban Men from Women’s Sports – For the FOURTH Time
The Gateway Pundit | by Cassandra MacDonald
Democrats’ obstruction keeps the door open for biological males to dominate women’s sports, take scholarships, and invade locker rooms, all under the banner of “inclusion.”
"Senate Democrats once again blocked a common-sense Republican amendment that would have protected women’s and girls’ sports from biological males competing as transgender athletes.
"On Saturday, the Senate voted 49-41 along strict party lines to kill the amendment to the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act.
"The measure needed 60 votes to advance and failed, marking the fourth time Democrats have shot down identical protections.
🚨 BREAKING: Senate Democrats just BLOCKED legislation to ban men in women’s sports, 49-41
The amendment would have added the Trump-backed provision blocking federal funds to schools letting males compete in women’s sports. pic.twitter.com/ej8xczEqLT
— John John Jnr (@kikolara23) March 21, 2026
"The amendment, known as the Protection for Women and Girls in Sports Act, was sponsored by Sens. Tommy Tuberville and Marsha Blackburn. It would have barred federally funded schools and programs from allowing biological males, those identifying as transgender women or girls, to compete in female sports categories.". . . More...

Gavin Newsom's 10 Biggest Accomplishments
The Parodigal Child: Babylon Bee
"The Babylon Bee put together the following list of achievements to give the governor his due:
Defying all expectations, he learned to read: So brave.
Successfully ran multiple billionaires out of the state: Who wants people with vast resources, ingenuity, and entrepreneurial spirit in their state?
Drastically lowered crime rates by just not prosecuting anything anymore: There's no crime if nobody is a criminal.
Helped keep the struggling French Laundry restaurant afloat during the pandemic: Singlehandedly saving a small business.
Cleared out a ton of clutter in the Pacific Palisades: Got rid of a ton of those old houses and trees and whatever.
Reduced the homeless population by -400%: The math doesn't lie.
Made California's education system 03rd overall: Sorry, it's that dyslexia again. It's 30th overall.
Increased the state's oil production: It's all in his hair, but it still counts.
Mentored the greatest politician California ever produced, Kamala Harris: Thank you for helping make her what she is today.
Did not ban satire: He tried, but he didn't. So that's an accomplishment, kind of." . . .
Deranged Tucker Carlson backstabs Trump
So much for Arkies being welcoming
"Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the governor of Arkansas and former White House press secretary, says she was having lunch with two mom friends at a restaurant called The Croissanterie in Little Rock when the owner kicked them out. Her presence at the restaurant, the owner told the governor, made the employees feel “threatened and uncomfortable” because of her political views. As they left, she was given the middle finger."
. . . "Sanders politely left the restaurant; she later left the administration, returned to Arkansas, and was elected governor in 2022. The Red Hen permanently closed in 2023." . . .
. . . "The Croissanterie released a lengthier statement, which includes more details such as the fact that Sanders’ posse arrived unannounced, overstayed the 90-minute table limit and lingered for a bit after she was asked to depart. Here’s the statement in full:
When Governor Sanders arrived unannounced, staff served her and her party without interruption.
As her security presence became more visible in the dining room, some employees and guests expressed discomfort. After the party completed their meal, a member of the security detail was quietly asked to help conclude the visit in line with our standard 90-minute table policy.
The request was not immediately received, and the party remained for an additional period before departing without incident once communication was established.
We want to be clear: there was no disruption in the restaurant. Claims that an employee made an inappropriate gesture are incorrect—it was a customer, and the situation has been addressed.
This was not a decision made lightly. We chose to prioritize the comfort of our staff and guests while continuing to provide service respectfully and without escalation.
"If you’ve ever been to The Croissanterie, you know it gets busy there. And, if you’ve ever worked in a restaurant, you likely know that they lose money when tables stay for an extended period and new customers can’t be seated. " . . .
Since we looked at both sides of this issue, perhaps a scholarly examination of the patrons giving them obscene gestures as they left would be in order. TD
California’s Real Governor Is Donald Trump
. . . oil refined in California is shipped “from overseas, with a significant share traveling through the Strait of Hormuz,” which, for now at least, is a hotly contested war zone. When crude can’t make it through, the state, which has stranded itself on an energy island, suffers.
"California has already sued the Trump administration at least 54 times a little more than a year into his second term. State Attorney General Rob Bonta claims the lawsuits are an effort to hold President Donald Trump accountable. But litigation goes both ways. The administration is now suing California over its zero-emission (in effect, electric) vehicle mandate.
"The Justice Department says that California’s ZEV mandates and its stringent standards for CO2 emissions violate federal law, which expressly prohibits states from setting their own fuel economy standards for cars, adding that the California Air Resources Board’s (CARB) mandates “also harm the interests of the United States in ensuring American consumers’ access to and choice of reliable, affordable motor vehicles.”
"According to the DOJ’s March 12 filing, the rules “should be declared unlawful and unenforceable, and the defendants should be permanently enjoined from enforcing them.”
"CARB and Executive Officer Steven S. Cliff are listed as the defendants, with Cliff “responsible, directly and through CARB, for the promulgation, implementation, and enforcement of” California’s CO2 standards. Like all members of the Air Resources Board, Cliff was appointed, not elected. The agency, as are many others across the state, is “responsible when major regulations raise costs, eliminate jobs, or disrupt entire industries,” says state Sen. Tony Strickland of Huntington Beach.
"California’s EV mandate was not approved by voters in a ballot measure nor enacted by the legislative process. It was kicked off in 2020 by a wave of the hand of Gov. Gavin Newsom, who handed down an executive order that requires all new-auto sales in the state to be zero-emission vehicles by 2035, then “codified” two years later by selected-not-elected CARB.
"Last year, the Trump administration overturned the rule. California sued in response. But the administration’s decision makes sense, just as the DOJ lawsuit makes sense.
"The EV mandate is oppressive, in that it strips consumers of their right to choose, and expensive, as upfront EV costs are as much as 42% higher than conventional cars. While there is a niche market for electric vehicles, it’s primarily made up of trend-conscious wealthy Californians who feel the need to express their virtue. Quotidian buyers have made it clear that they just don’t want them. " . . . More...
Inside Barron Trump's 'next phase' as he turns 20: 'He's a carbon copy of his father' with one difference
- Barron Trump, the youngest child of President Donald Trump, turns 20 years old on Friday, March 20
- Sources close to the family tell PEOPLE that Barron has "inherited his father’s interest in making money and a name for himself," with one notable difference
- The youngest Trump is already estimated to be worth roughly $150 million thanks to cryptocurrency investments, Forbes reported last year
Barron Trump turns 20 years old on Friday, March 20, and sources close to President Donald Trump's youngest son tell PEOPLE how he's preparing for his "next phase" of life — which may involve treading over a few of his father's footsteps.
“Barron has inherited his father’s interest in making money and a name for himself, and is well on the way to becoming an entrepreneur,” a social source tells PEOPLE. “He is smart, focused and resourceful. He is always looking for areas that interest him and is quite ambitious for such a young age.”
The college student was reportedly the motivating force behind the Trump family's multiple cryptocurrency ventures, which have earned them billions over the last few years, according to Forbes. As of September 2025, the publication reported that Barron alone was already believed to be worth a staggering $150 million, plus millions more in locked-up tokens that can't yet be traded.
“He has been actively pursuing successful ventures for several years,” the source says. “Turning 20 is indeed a turning point for him as he gets older and wants to engage with projects that not only interest him, but will make him a lot of money."
As the youngest and least public-facing Trump, Barron is reportedly motivated to prove himself amid the successes of his father and siblings.
"This is how to impress his family," the source notes. "He wants to make his own mark.”
"He has always thought about business and truly is interested in it like his father. A lot of this ambition has to do with his desire to look good to Donald, as well as to his mother. He is more gung-ho than most.” . . . More...
Worst war coverage ever
But once President Trump launched Operation Epic Fury, press coverage went cynical. Skepticism is one thing. An objective press should question authority, but what we have today is a press that doesn’t question authority. None dared question cloth masks, social distancing and just why three funerals for George Floyd were safe while I couldn’t hold one for my son.
There is no downside to striking the regime. Trump has already done so twice, and each time, Iran was unable or unwilling to retaliate. Indeed, the Soleimani strike came at a time when Iran was much stronger than it is today. Since then, Iran has suffered repeated blows that have left it weaker than at any time since the 1979 revolution." . . . More...
