"How do you convince Texas voters that you are the new Beto? Do you accept a $1 million campaign donation from George Soros? This is the story:
Democratic mega-donor George Soros and an Austin-area couple each gave $1 million to Beto O'Rourke's campaign to unseat Gov. Greg Abbott. While Texans gave $14.5 million to the Democrat's campaign, nearly half of O'Rourke's record-breaking $27.6 million fundraising haul came from out-of-state donors.
"Out of state like George Soros?
"Money is money and every campaign is looking for it, but Soros money comes with a certain reputation. In other words, Soros is usually supporting primary challenges to centrist Democrats. Just ask Rep. Henry Cuellar, who survived a primary challenge because a guy named George supported his opponent. Soros money is going to support a lot if leftist candidates, as we see in this report:
Ahead of the 2022 midterms, Democracy PAC has already cut big checks to two major Democratic super PACs aligned with the party’s congressional leadership: $2.5 million to Senate Majority PAC and $1 million to House Majority PAC.". . .
"'Well, of course that’s going to cause [inflation], and it’s not just fuel prices,” the Republican explained. “When energy prices are going up the way they are, that permeates the entire economy. It’s more [expensive] to transport … goods … everything is permeated by that, and it helps contribute to rising prices.”
"“Let’s do what we can at the federal level to reverse some of the policies that have caused this,” DeSantis said. “And let’s try to give people relief throughout our economy, and if they did that it would make a really significant difference. But they have not shown an inclination to do that.”. . .
"Thanks to Biden’s spending packages, stimulus checks, etc., inflation is at a high that has not been seen in nearly four decades. To add insult to injury, the wages earned by the average American are not even coming close to keeping up with inflation.
"Meanwhile, as prices naturally rise due to inflation, interest rates are also climbing. The uptick in inherent rates is a maneuver by the federal government to offset inflation. However, this only serves to squeeze the American public further.
"Biden, for his part, has been all over the place when it comes to inflation. First, he said inflation wouldn’t be an issue. Then, Biden claimed inflation would be nothing more than “transitory.' ”. . .
Biden's war on domestic energy is a factor in this inflation at the food markets. Fertilizer is a byproduct of domestic energy production and it is another reason the Biden "energy transition" policy is counterproductive. Then there is the additional cost of getting the food to market.
There's no question that the national media would never have breathed a word about the Fuentes case -- but for the doubters. So a big shoutout to the feminists for putting abortion-on-demand above open borders. If only politicians cared as much about our country as pro-choicers do about abortion.
"I, for one, am tickled pink that our ruling class has finally come out against child rape. This is something new. For several decades now, the position of government officials, both political parties, think tanks, the Bush family, district attorneys and the entire media has been: We're going to foist primitive, peasant cultures on America and then lie to the public about how this is changing our country.
"We recently found out abou t one big way that third-world immigrants are enriching us. Soon after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the media began talking nonstop about a "10-year-old rape victim" who couldn't get an abortion in Ohio and had to travel to Indiana. The "10-year-old rape victim" was discussed on a loop on MSNBC and even made it into a speech by President Joe Biden.
"But then, a bunch of spoilsports started questioning whether "10-year-old rape victim" existed. The attorney general of Ohio said on July 12 he had no evidence of a 10-year-old rape victim, despite the reporting of such a crime being mandatory.
"With their backs against the wall, the pro-abortion crowd broke longstanding strictures against mentioning the rapey-ness of our "New Americans" by producing the rapist: Gerson Fuentes, 27, an illegal alien from Guatemala.
"The abortion ladies thought they could get away with revealing the child rape victim, while refusing to reveal the child rape perpetrator. When that failed, they wantonly defied the rest of their coalition and told the truth about one of the Democrats' pets, an illegal immigrant.". . .
Iran is on the cusp of obtaining nuclear weapons; North Korea, already a nuclear power, performed an unprecedented 18 ballistic-missile tests over the last year. Our disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan laid bare the incompetence of our intelligence community and the limits of our resolve.
. . ."When I joined the US Army in 2011, the training I received — beginning with ROTC, then infantry officer school, followed by Airborne and Ranger schools — focused on preparing me and my fellow soldiers to prevail in battle. Only five months after Ranger school, I deployed to Afghanistan, where everything I learned would be tested.
"Woven into this training was something even more important than tactics and weapons: We were inculcated in an old and honorable military culture defined by ideas like duty, courage, discipline and selflessness.
"This is rarely the case today, more than a decade into a quiet revolution in the culture of the military initiated by the Obama administration and being pushed with new fervor by Team Biden. This revolution treats the military as yet another American institution whose traditions must be targeted in the name of “diversity, equity and inclusion.” And it is happening at a moment of growing peril from overseas.". . .
. . ."Officers are led astray by our service academies, whose curricula are growing indistinguishable from that of woke Ivy League schools. Physical fitness standards have been lowered significantly for the sake of “inclusivity.” The chairman of the Joint Chiefs says he seeks to understand “white rage.” The Secretary of Defense released an official statement about the Supreme Court’s abortion ruling.
"All of this has weakened training, lowered morale and created politicized incentives for promotion that could get soldiers killed in war. It has driven some of our best warriors out of the service in disgust. And it diminishes the fighting spirit, cohesiveness and reputation of America’s Armed Forces. I fear that is exactly the point.". . .
Jason Church, a retired captain in the US Army and Purple Heart recipient, is chairman of Veterans on Duty, a 501(c)(4) dedicated to preserving the American military and the American way of life.
"The First’s Jesse Kelly called-out the ‘Woke’ military on social media this week after multiple reports confirmed the Army was reducing its fighting force, saying young boys are not willing to join an organization that promotes “anti-white racism.”
“ 'The 17 year old boys in rural America who sign up to win your wars for you will not join a military full of transsexuals and anti-white racism. You’re watching the demolition of the military in real time,” explained Kelly.". . .
“I get emails like this every day. Generational military families breaking the tradition because of the filth being pushed now. These losses are impossible to quantify. These are extra painful. These people generally serve with distinction. They’re leaving,” posted Kelly on Twitter."
Republicans love a fighter, and DeSantis has not been one to back down.
"Ron DeSantis is continuing to respond to Gavin Newsom’s farcical criticisms of the Florida governor, laying waste to the arguments that have been made.
"As RedState reported previously, Newsom has been in a mostly one-sided feud with DeSantis, lashing out with an ad campaign targeting the Sunshine State and its governor, touting California as the true bastion of “freedom.” Further, while visiting the White House (while Joe Biden was out of town) for reasons completely unknown, Newsom again slammed DeSantis, calling him a bully and shouting for him to “stop.”. . .
. . ."While Newsom speaks in false generalities about Florida (no, the state has not banned saying the word gay or banned books), DeSantis has real-world examples on his side. California has been a case study in how to not run a state for nearly two decades. Homelessness is out of control, taxes are sky-high, the population is decreasing, and the public infrastructure, from energy to water, has been woefully mismanaged, causing constant shortages.
"Then there’s COVID-19 where Newsom still refuses to relinquish his emergency powers that helped usher in years of widespread lockdowns and ineffective mandates. There is no real freedom in California because everything is controlled by the dictates of the state government. Florida stands in stark contrast, consistently prioritizing the individual rights of its residents, not bending the knee to politicized corporations or partisan officials.
"DeSantis’ fight with the bureaucracy that controls the Special Olympics was simply an extension of that commitment. Children wanted to compete who otherwise wouldn’t have been allowed to. DeSantis made sure they were allowed to. That Newsom chose that as an attack line is quite the strategic blunder.". . .

. . ."I tend to agree that these folks know how to play it. These people wreck the national anthem. The Saudis leak that Joe Biden never brought up Khashoggi. It shows once again that Joe is out of step. It also shows that these nations think they can be disrespectful and get away with it because Joe Biden doesn't have all his marbles. They're right about that too. ". . .
"Long-time political strategist Dick Morris, formerly of the Clinton camp before coming to the light some years ago, penned a piece for Newsmax yesterday that predicted a 2016 rematch pitting twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton against former president – and America’s most popular politician – Donald Trump.
"Clinton just can’t give it a rest. She has rested her entire legacy on one day sitting in the Oval Office as this nation’s first female president. Of course, her party can’t define the term “woman” anymore, and then there’s the fact that she hates this country and most of the deplorables living in it, so it should be clear to everyone she’s only in love with herself and power.
"Morris laid out a cascade of events that would ultimately give rise to the aging, bitter hag:“
1. Biden will resist but ultimately have to cave to left-wing and media pressure and not run again.2. The Democrats also know Kamala Harris is also a disaster and cannot be their candidate. Trump will easily defeat her.
3. The Democrats, increasingly desperate, will search for a candidate who can both unite the party and stop Trump. They are looking at people like Calif. Gov. Gavin Newsom, Colorado Governor Jared Polis, and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg
4. With Harris out, a Black candidate may emerge. The short list here includes Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., or, if she wins the Georgia governorship, Stacy Abrams.
5. The far left “progressive” wing of the party will look to Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, or Alexandria Ocasio Cortez. AOC is the one who will take off, and she will wreak havoc. The left now dominates the Democratic Party. She will do surprisingly well. "
6. As leftist candidates emerge as front-runners in the Democratic primary, pressure will grow on Hillary Clinton to enter the race. Much like Biden’s surprise entrance in 2020, Democrats will see her as their savior, an experienced politician able to bridge the left and more moderate wings of the party.”
A federal court has temporarily blocked the Biden administration’s interpretation of federal law to conflate gender identity with biological sex, and in doing so, has protected female athletes who would be forced to compete against males in 20 states.
"President Biden has aggressively pushed and expanded Obama’s “dear colleague” Title IX letter that expanded a bill on sex discrimination to a ban on sexual orientation and gender identity.
"Earlier this year, Biden threatened to take poor kids lunch money by cutting funding for free or reduced lunches in public schools if they did not comply with the Title IX “dear colleague” letter.
"One of the requirements is to build gender-neutral restrooms or allow transgender students to use the opposite gender’s bathroom.
"Republican Attorney Generals across the country have pushed back against Biden’s insanity and won a string of victories that will prevent him from forcing transgender identity politics on schools.
"The latest victory came this Sunday as a federal court blocked the Biden administration’s attempt to conflate gender identity with biological sex, which would have allowed male to female transgender athletes to compete with biological females.". . .
That’s Enough...If it gets worse than this, Americans should have a real concern Biden might inadvertently start a war."There shouldn’t be any particular surprise, in any quarter, that Joe Biden came home from the Middle East empty-handed. He’s come home empty-handed from all of his foreign trips since becoming president. Or at least, the American people have had our hands emptied; perhaps the Joe-Jim-Hunter mini-mafia has filled its sacks with plunder away from the attention of the multitudes as a result of these. . .
Bye-bye, Biden - American Thinker. . ."Clearly, the man is cognitively in decline. His many gaffes, word salads, blank stares, popcorn temper flare-ups, weird demeanors, creepy whisperings, touchy-feely gropings with women and children, and his monumentally wrong-headed economic policies are enough to turn the strongest of stomachs.
Biden has single-handedly destroyed America's energy independence.
"He has personally made America a ridiculous paper tiger in the eyes of our enemies who want us dead or conquered.
"Joe Biden has fist-bumped the most powerful oil-producer on the planet in a way that signals an utter lack of seriousness.
"He has opened the borders and welcomed terrorists and murderers.
"Biden seems to deliberately want to link arms with the socialists among us in order to drag America's standard of living down to that of Venezuela's. Food shortages, brownouts and blackouts, a severely reduced reputation as the planet's finest fighting force, and other admirable things America was known for have, have been destroyed or crippled by this impaired president.
"Joe's policies are bankrupting America.". . .
We're All Struggling Because Of Biden, Not The Other Way Around (thefederalist.com)"Perry Bacon Jr. — which is the name of a Washington Post writer, not a sandwich at Arby’s — has managed to have the dumbest excuse to date for why Joe Biden’s approval numbers are somewhere between bad and “get this man out of the White House right now before he kills us all.”
"Bacon wrote on Monday, presumably with a straight face, that a major factor driving the president’s approval ratings to lower than Donald Trump’s is that the news media’s coverage has been “anti-Biden.” He actually said that.". . .
"Biden isn’t the victim of an awful press. They’re the ones who sold him to America. We’re the victims of the media and his presidency."
"The video of AOC pretending to be handcuffed while being arrestedhas been viewedover 2 million times on Twitter.
"As the clip spread, AOC was roundly mocked on social media, the New York Post reported.“
Best performance goes to,,,,
AOC pretended to be in handcuffs when she was escorted away from the Supreme Court,” the official account for the conservative paper Washington Free Beacon tweeted.
“Oh my gosh @AOC faking handcuffs,” wrote Republican commentator Matt Whitlock. “This is too much.”
The Capitol Police must have put invisible handcuffs on @AOC!” tweeted political analyst Carmyn Kinsey.
“You guys… @AOC is such a victim that she has to pretend that the big, mean policeman put her in handcuffs…She probably also thinks he wants to date her,” said conservative columnist Tim Young.". . .
"But that little fake handcuff revelation hardly matters to AOC.
"What matters is that most U.S.-based news agencies such as CNN, NBC News, Axios, etc. reported it as an arrest. Even agencies overseas such as the U.K. Guardian, the BBC, France 24, ABC in Australia, and numerous others reported it as an arrest, complete with a pity party for poor brave AOC.
"AOC knows that more people will read the news than will read social media posts exposing her false claims.
"Perhaps she may claim to be arrested, handcuffed, and even assaulted in her memoirs.
"Following the January 6 protests, AOC went full drama queen there, too, falsely suggesting she was in the Capitol Building and in immediate danger because the protestors were demanding to know where she was and were even banging on her office door. It was eventually revealed that AOC wasn't even in the building during the incident.
"She also did a comparable border stunt in 2019, wearing white, posing in front of a chain link fence, pretending to cry over "caged" migrant illegal border crossers, and then being found out from other pictures that she was "crying" in front of a parking lot for the cameras.". . .
Republican communicator Matt Whitlock tweeted: “Have to wonder if any of the protesters alongside her ever thought ‘wait .. aren’t you an elected member of Congress with the power to pass legislation on this issue? Why are you over here protesting? Pass a bill!’”
“Why was she pretending like she was handcuffed?” asked Elijah Schaffer from The Blaze.
“The fake handcuffs are everything,” said conservative strategist Natalie Johnson.
“She pretends to be handcuffed, raises her fist in a salute, and then goes back to pretending to be handcuffed,” tweeted strategist Greg Price.". . .
"After a heroic protest at the Supreme Court, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spent the better part of three hours sitting in an invisible police car with her wrists bound by invisible handcuffs, waiting to be taken to an invisible jail.
"After being threatened with an invisible gun, I was thrown on the ground by invisible police!" shouted Ocasio-Cortez as she flipped her hair for the camera. "They've kept me stuffed in this invisible squad car for hours, the fascists! When I get out of the invisible slammer, I'm going to make them pay - every last invisible one of them!"
"Several members of Congress were reportedly arrested outside of the Supreme Court today, where they were protesting the court ruling that Congress had to actually show up for work. "It is absolutely heinous that the Supreme Court would ask us to like, make laws," said Representative Ilhan Omar. "We are far too busy leading protests about abortion to actually write any legislation on it. Ugh, why are these invisible handcuffs always so tight?"
"Sources say Ms. Ocasio-Cortez has already obtained her first prison tattoo, which is invisible, and is subsisting well thus far on invisible prison food. She has reportedly kept herself in solitary confinement inside an invisible box, but she does come out to weep outside her own invisible prison cell if she thinks anyone with a camera is nearby.
"At publishing time, Ms. Ocasio-Cortez has generously offered to donate her invisible handcuffs to be displayed in the Smithsonian in commemoration of her bravery."
Neither Republicans nor Democrats have a clear edge with Catholic voters nearly four months before the pivotal midterm elections that will determine control of Congress and how much of President Biden’s agenda will get passed in the next two years, according to an in-depth new survey of American Catholics.
"Overall, likely voters identifying themselves as Catholic are split nearly evenly in their preference for Congress: 44% indicated support for the Republican candidate in their district, while 43% support the Democrat – with a significant bloc of 13% undecided.
"Despite this political divide, a key indicator of voter concern – whether the country is on the right or wrong track – should set off alarm bells for the Biden administration and Democrats, who control both chambers of Congress.
"Some 59% of all Catholics said the country is on the wrong track, including 68% of white Catholics and 45% of Latino Catholics, compared to 24% who thought it’s headed in the right direction.
"While those figures demonstrate widespread pessimism among Catholics, the rest of the country is even more discouraged about the country’s path forward. The RealClearPolitics average of most recent polls shows an overwhelming 75.1% of voters believe the country is off-course, compared to just 18% who say it’s on target.
"These are among the findings in the latest survey of Catholic voter mood by RealClear Opinion Research in partnership with Catholic-themed television network EWTN. The national survey of 1,757 Catholic likely voters is the first of It was conducted online in English and Spanish from June 15-23, immediately before the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, ruling that there is no longer a federal constitutional right to an abortion.". . .
Catholics talk about membership in the mystical Body of Christ, but very few feel and experience that oneness and sense of purpose that pro-abortion, BLM, gay and trans activists, Marxists/progressives feel and experience in pursuit of their missions. For them, it’s always about oneness and solidarity with victims—and saving victims with their grandiose plans and schemes. They burn with passion to save, but in reality, they impoverish, kill, and destroy.
"In his recent video presentation titled, “Message to the Christian Churches,” Dr. Jordan Peterson thundered: “Ask more, not less, of [the young men] you are inviting. Ask more of them than anyone ever has!”
“Remind them who they are in the deepest sense and help them become that,” said the celebrated psychologist. “You’re churches, for God’s sake. Quit fighting for social justice. Quit saving the bloody planet. Attend to some souls — that’s what you’re supposed to do. That’s your holy duty.”
“Do it. Now, before it’s too late,” he urged.
"Peterson’s plea is prophetic.
"The left — mostly huddled under the umbrella of the Democrat Party here in the U.S. — has the worst beliefs, the worst creed, on Earth. But what we must appreciate is that they shout their beliefs from the housetop by every means available. They never give up, they never back down, while Christians speak in mostly subdued tones with hushed, apologetic voices.
"The “Woke” are not ashamed. They are brazen carnival barkers peddling the worst ideas and practices known to man: communism, abortion, transgenderism, same-sex marriage, homosexuality, and racism tidily wrapped up in identity politics and Critical Race Theory.
"And while they unashamedly broadcast their inhuman, Luciferian messages night and day, Christians speak mostly to each other, not the world. And we do so softly, delicately, always ever-so-vigilant not to offend or to sound too zealous.
"Here’s the thing: If anyone is going to change the world for the better, it is Christians, not leftists. Not the “Woke.” Not the social justice warriors. They are lunatics and monsters who defend infanticide, the genital mutilation of children, and the sexualization of young children by cross-dressing men prone to suicide. They promote the very things in which the demon world delights. "Full article here.
