This is a powerful article. Infuriating how every time the trucker was trying to find empathy for Pierre and Haitians in general, his girlfriend and mom kept intervening with some racist logic or conspiracy.

Just a reminder that these Haitian immigrants in Springfield -- who came here legally, did everything they were asked to do and more -- became a target of federal crackdowns because the white nationalist vice president shamelessly spread racist lies about them.

I was told that I was “overreacting” when I cried myself to sleep the night of his first inauguration. I’ve learned since, how many others out there heard the same. I think it was at that point, we began to see our worlds divide.

Texans should expect The Reunification of The Paxtons, a biblical rejoining of Ken & wife Angela. The loving and doting Mrs Paxton had previously filed for divorce on religious grounds, but now sees Ken as a perfectly moral man suitable to lead an entire state of Americans. Congrats, Angela!

Look at the people behind him. Those are the faces of citizens too stupid and irresponsible to be effective stewards of a republic. And unlike the president, I don't want them eliminated "once and for all." It's for all of us, including those in 2026 who place tribalism over the Constitution.

Angela Paxton is asking Texans to stand by a man for six long years when she won’t even do it for one more day. Estranged from and divorcing Ken, won’t even say his name, and not good enough for her, but she claims he is perfect for Texans. Angie needs to lead by example.

The news media are way too accepting of racism in our politics. They should be peppering the Republicans' Senate candidates in TX, OH, MI, IA and ME with questions about why they welcome campaign help from white supremacist Elon Musk.

Joe Biden was too old to be president. Trump is the same age as Biden was when he was president. And it’s obvious that Trump is less mentally healthy than Biden was. So when will the media report that the president’s brain is broken? If the answer is “never,” that means the media are broken too.
