Told you so. The 2 ads that Trump put out this weekend were just a test. Now it's $20 million worth of ads from DHS. Has everyone forgotten the $200M that Barbie Noem spent of our tax dollars on her promotions? Remember the Department of Transportation Secretary's Multi-Million 3-month road trip?

Russia plans to spend 17.1 trillion rubles or $202.58 billion on Putin's war in 2027. This is a 206% increase from Russia's 2021 pre-war military budget of $65 billion. Putin will bankrupt the Russian people before he will give up on his dream of restoring the Russian Empire.

We've all heard how corrupt Ken Paxton is. But he is also incredibly stupid if he thinks this "well, he served 60 whole days" excuse for releasing Adam Hoffman, who sexually abused a boy over a three-year period starting when he was 8.

Adam Hoffman was convicted of raping his friend's young son. He should be in jail, but Paxton used his power to get him on a misdemeanor. That means he only served for 60 days, didn't have to register as a sex offender in Texas, and then left the state.

That's how this big government bureaucracy is going to keep millions of eligible voters from voting, nearly all because they have foreign or black sounding names. By the time they can prove they are citizens the election will be over. This is all very well planned, no accidents in US politics.

America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.
Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.

Good news: people in Texas are registering to vote. 🗳 🤠 Bad news: the Republicans are not processing them. An "unidentified problem" created a massive backlog in tens of thousands of registrations. In one county, 45,000 registrations have been backlogged. Hopeful. But suspicious. ☹️
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- County election offices throughout Texas are scrambling to process a massive backlog of voter registration applications stemming from an error at the state level, a headache that is hitting just as they are preparing for voting to begin in the midterm elections
The problem, which officials in the
Republican-controlled state have not publicly defined. This also could have disenfranchised people who wanted to vote in the state's March primary but whose registration applications were never processed, local election officials said during a news conference Wednesday
'This is really out of left field. Knowing that this one element of (state) applications didn't come through, and we had no insight on it," said Chris McGinn, executive director of the Texas Association of County Election Officials
The size of the backlog statewide hasn't been determined. but the association said it is in the tens of thousands for some of the state's most populous counties. In Bexar County, which includes San Antonio, the election office received about 45,000 backlogged voter registratior applications.
