Texas congressional candidate Valentina Gomez sparked outrage with a video depicting the simulated execution of an undocumented immigrant, advocating public executions for those committing violent crimes against Americans. This followed a recent high-profile subway murder in New York City allegedly committed by an undocumented immigrant. Gomez, known for controversial statements and far-right views, claims the video serves as a deterrent. The video, subsequently limited by X for violating its rules against violent speech, has ignited a fierce debate regarding political discourse on immigration and crime.

Texas’s Agriculture Commissioner wants to see raw milk on grocery store shelves. This proposal has sparked considerable debate, and the reasons for the outcry are many and varied. The potential for widespread illness is a major concern. Raw milk, unlike pasteurized milk, hasn’t undergone a heat treatment to kill harmful bacteria. Mass production of raw milk significantly increases the risk of contamination, leading to foodborne illnesses such as salmonella and E. coli, potentially affecting large numbers of people.
The risk extends beyond typical bacterial infections. The presence of bird flu in raw milk adds another layer of danger. Bird flu can be deadly, and the possibility of a widespread outbreak caused by the consumption of contaminated raw milk is alarming.… Continue reading
Pollster Ivan Moore predicts that Republican Senator Ted Cruz will lose his Texas Senate seat to Democrat Representative Colin Allred in the upcoming election. The close race could determine which party controls the Senate. Though some recent polls show Cruz leading by between one and seven points, others suggest Allred could outperform him. The Dallas Morning News, the state’s top newspaper by daily circulation, endorsed Allred in a front-page editorial last month, and state politics has been influenced by Democrats in recent electoral cycles. Moore made the bold prediction via Twitter.

Ted Cruz’s political existence has always been a series of bizarre dramas, but the latest twist in the narrative—his opponent Colin Allred being endorsed by the *Dallas Morning News*—is nothing short of poetic justice. For those of us who have watched from afar, the idea that Texas’ largest newspaper is publicly distancing itself from Cruz’s brand of divisive politics is both thrilling and necessary. The newspaper isn’t alone; Allred has garnered endorsements from major Texas publications like the *Houston Chronicle* and *San Antonio Express-News*. These endorsements, while somewhat symbolic in today’s media landscape, signal a significant shift in public sentiment, especially when framed against the backdrop of Cruz’s past misdeeds.… Continue reading
Ted Cruz has once again found himself in hot water, exposed as a scammer in a recent debate smackdown. The revelations about how he has been funneling the payouts from his podcast into a pro-Cruz super-PAC are truly astounding. It’s mind-boggling that such behavior is even legal. The fact that he is diverting funds in this way showcases a lack of integrity and a blatant disregard for the trust of his constituents.
One of the most egregious acts of Ted Cruz’s tenure was when he infamously fled to Cancun while his state was in the midst of a crisis during a severe winter storm.… Continue reading
Colin Allred definitely made a powerful impact in Tuesday night’s debate against Ted Cruz. From the moment he stepped onto the stage, Allred came out swinging with fervor and conviction. His zingers were sharp and hit precisely at Cruz’s weak points. The way he called Cruz out for his lack of representation of Texans, whether it be running off to Cancun or hiding in a broom closet, was truly commendable.
Watching the debate, it was evident that Cruz was more slick in his responses, but Allred didn’t back down. He painted a clear picture of Cruz as someone who is all talk and no action, labeling him as “All hat, no cattle.”… Continue reading
As a Texan observing the current political climate in our state, the news of Ted Cruz facing a GOP rebellion as Republicans back his opponent, Colin Allred, comes as both unexpected and long overdue. The sentiment towards Cruz among his own party members, as well as the citizens of Texas, is far from favorable. The anecdotes shared about colleagues hiding from Cruz or the general consensus that nobody likes him are telling of the divisive figure he has become in the realm of politics.
It’s ironic that Cruz, who claims to champion conservative principles, is now facing opposition from within his own party, with many Republicans viewing him as a RINO (Republican In Name Only).… Continue reading
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
