Will the world let Trump actually annihilate Iran? Will his staff and Cabinet?

Texas Senate Race: Where is Jasmine Crockett? Where is her voice for Talarico? Where is Colin Allred? Where is his voice for Talarico?

Sarkisian failed his kids yesterday. He should have at least suspended Colin Simmons and aggressively condemned his behavior. Instead, he generalized, glossed over, and practically excused him since, after all, “five sacks is pretty good.”

I’m giving Talarico money. Is there anything else I can do? I moved to Texas from Alabama. Don’t make me go from Tuberville to Paxton. That’s trading dumb for crooked.

Yes, Trump’s position on the Iran war (and now the Houthi-Saudi conflict) is shifting frequently. That’s what happens when you are strategically and morally untethered. The best analogy I can think of is a hot air balloon.

There is no correlation between income and worth. There are worthless people at every economic level; percentage wise, maybe more the higher up you go.

Ken Paxton has an economic “plan” based on tax cuts. That’s no plan. That won’t spur job growth and price stability. It will help the shrinking property owner class.

Trump is making the US less essential on the world stage, even as he pretends (believes?) otherwise. Ultimately, would that be so bad?

I find it interesting that the professed desire to go back to when America was great manifests itself by actions designed to tear down traditional institutions.

Trump’s new 9/11 rescue story is an excellent example of “trimming.” He never explicitly says he was there on 9/11, but gives just enough info to help you infer it. He was down there a few days later. Bill Clinton was pretty good at this, but never to this scale or on such a topic.

If Republicans were smart, which they may be (it’s hard to know when they take no positions and just hide behind the President), they’d start talking about real issues. This “communist” crap is not very effective when you hear actual Democrats in congressional races talk about what matters to voters

When Big Tech shunned unions and convinced tech workers they were ‘apolitical’ only to turn around and lay them off by the tens of thousands… a labour day lesson: form a union the boss always lies to you.

So, when Trump says “the idiot left,” he means people who disagree with him. When I say, “the idiot left,” I mean that Trump just went out the door.

In the social media world, what I read indicates that liberal folks don’t understand the difference between capitalism, socialism, and communism any better than the nationalists and the conservatives. Fun to point fingers, tho.

The US voted against a UN resolution to use maps that show countries at their actual relative size. The vote was 164-1 in favor. My country’s representative said it was a bad idea to use an accurate map. How will we ever recover from this Administration?

More than 70,000 people are currently in more than 200 concentration camps in the United States. What? You say: We don't have concentration camps in the US. Ah, but we do. Historians define concentration camps as sites of mass civilian detention without trial, based on group identity.

If you care about protecting Big Bend, it may be time to rethink where you spend your money. YETI co-founder Ryan Seiders is part-owner of a West Texas ranch that has been facilitating construction tied to Trump’s border wall project in the Big Bend region.

Many of the well-off fail to realize that programs like Medicaid, food stamps, etc, are the only thing keeping the marginalized from rising up with torches and pitchforks. At some point, desperation kicks in.

Greg Abbott has had more than enough chances. Texas needs new leadership.
A graphic with the title: "MEET THE CANDIDATES, Governor." Below, there are two columns. One with a photo of Gina Hinojosa, and one with a photo of Greg Abbott. The Hinojosa column reads: "Will invest in Texas public schools to put our kids first. Supports using the rainy day fund to send $1,500 to every Texas family. Focused on the affordability crisis." The Abbott column reads: "Stole $1B from public schools for private school vouchers. Hoarding billions of taxpayer dollars in the rainy day fund while Texans struggle. Focused on culture wars."

Watching our approach to this conflict with Iran, I am reminded of a time when we killed every soldier in North Vietnam three times. Counting bombs and bodies is not strategic. Soldiers vs soldiers is not the same as country vs country. Trump and Hegseth are amateurs. Rubio is right to steer clear.
