Is Texas about to put a Democrat in the Senate? The possibility seems tantalizing, and the hope is palpable. With the current incumbent, Ted Cruz, not exactly a favorite among many Texans, the idea of a Democrat clinching the Senate seat is not entirely far-fetched. Colin Allred, rising as a potential contender, has garnered support and enthusiasm, especially from those who are eager for a change in Texas politics.
The prospect of a Democrat claiming victory in a traditionally red state like Texas is an enticing thought. The sheer notion of shifting the course of American history through Texas is nothing short of revolutionary.… Continue reading
As a union steelworker who has spent years at the steel mill in Middletown, I understand the significance of the recent developments regarding Joe Biden’s bailout of the plant. The fact that this new furnace would ensure the continuation of steel production in our town for future generations is crucial for our community’s economic well-being. It’s disheartening to see the backlash from some members of the union who are staunchly against this initiative simply because of political affiliations. The association of “green” initiatives with liberals and socialism has clouded their judgment, and it’s a stark reminder of how misinformation can hinder progress.… Continue reading
As a lifelong resident of Ottawa County, Michigan, the recent election results have truly been eye-opening. Seeing a Republican county commissioner unseated by a Democrat, with a 20-point margin no less, has been a significant rejection of the MAGA mindset that has dominated our area.

$8.4 trillion. That’s the astounding amount that former President Trump added to the national debt during his time in office. To put it in perspective, that’s nearly $25,000 of debt for every U.S. citizen—an increase of 38%. And here’s the kicker: $940 billion of that debt was added even before the pandemic hit. So, this can’t be blamed solely on COVID-19.

The win by Keen was not just a success for him as an individual, but it serves as a beacon of hope and a prelude to future political triumphs for a party desperate to recover from a tumultuous political season.
Prior to the special election, vast amounts of money were spent on aggressive negative campaigns against Keen. A barrage of attack ads filled with fear-inducing messages bombarded the airwaves and mailboxes.… Continue reading
