Texas investigates reports of noncitizens being illegally registered to vote

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced on Wednesday that he has opened an investigation into reports that groups in the state may be registering noncitizens to vote in violation of both state and federal laws.

Investigators with the Texas Attorney General’s Election Integrity Unit conducted undercover operations to identify potential voter registration of noncitizens in the state, with the investigation already confirming “that various nonprofit organizations have been located outside Texas Department of Public Safety Driver License offices, operating booths offering to assist in voter registration for persons doing business at the driver’s license offices,” a press release from Paxton’s office stated. These undercover operations are ongoing.

The press release noted that “all citizens have already been presented an opportunity to register to vote as part of the process of renewing or being issued an identification card or driver’s license, so there is no obvious need to assist citizens to register to vote outside DPS offices—calling into question the motives of the nonprofit groups.”

Judge Rules RFK Jr. Can Sue Biden Admin Over Censorship After Supreme Court Rejects Challenge From States

A federal judge on Tuesday ruled that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. can continue to pursue his lawsuit against the Biden administration over censorship at the direction of the government.

The decision comes after a June ruling by the Supreme Court, which established who can sue the Biden administration for violating their First Amendment rights when government officials pressured social media companies to suppress free speech did not have standing to sue.

According to District Court Judge Terry Doughty, Kennedy meets the standard set by the Supreme Court because there is “ample evidence” to show he was censored at the direction of government actors, and is at “substantial risk” that the censorship will continue, the Daily Caller reports.

Under the Supreme Court’s Murthy v. Missouri ruling, Doughty explained that “a court must make specific findings that a particular defendant pressured a particular platform to censor a particular topic before the platform suppressed a particular plaintiff’s speech on that topic.”

Kennedy was named by one of the “Disinformation Dozen” – and was specifically targeted by the government over what they alleged was COVID-19 misinformation, Doughty noted in his ruling – adding that there is “not much dispute” that Kennedy, and his organization – Children’s Health Defense, were “were specifically targeted by the White House, the Office of Surgeon General, and CISA [Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency].”

Claim: Democrats “Lied” About Beyoncé Appearing At DNC To Get People To Watch

Fans of pop star Beyoncé are annoyed that a rumour was spread early in the day that she would be a surprise guest at the finale of the DNC, with some fans accusing the Democrats of being “fucking liars.”

Someone told TMZ it was happening and they ran with it.

‘Journalists’ started repeating the rumour as if it was real.

Beyoncé did not appear, and people had to be content with the Dixie Chicks (now ridiculously just called Chicks because the word Dixie is racist or something) singing the national anthem.

Oof, big let down.

Beyoncé’s representatives had to issue a statement that she was never scheduled to be at the convention as anger started to boil over.

Kamala Harris at DNC Claims That Trump Threw Away People’s Votes – But That’s Exactly What Democrats Did to Install Her as Their Nominee

If you missed Kamala Harris’s speech at the Democrat National Convention, you didn’t miss much. The first act was all biography. The second act was all Trump bashing, naturally.

In one of the most stunning moments, she accused Trump of throwing away people’s votes. This is especially rich because Kamala wouldn’t even be the Democrat nominee without the Democrat party throwing away millions of votes from Democrat primary voters who voted for Biden.

Tim Walz Keeps Lying

For Tim Walz, in vitro fertilization (IVF) is a deeply personal issue—or at least he made it seem that way. In several recent interviews, the Minnesota governor and Democratic vice presidential candidate implied or outright suggested that his own two children were conceived using IVF.

One problem: It’s not true. Walz’s children were conceived using intrauterine insemination (IUI), not IVF. These are two very different things, and the policy conversations about them are fundamentally distinct; many religious conservatives want to prohibit IVF—which can result in the destruction of unused fertilized embryos outside the womb—but not IUI.

Yet Walz tried to link his own personal experience with potential efforts by Republicans to ban IVF. This is misleading, since he and his wife used IUI, not IVF.

It was an oft-repeated error. On Facebook, Walz wrote that his family had taken advantage of reproductive health care options like IVF, which is true enough. But then he told the Pod Save America podcast that his two kids were born “that way,” in reference to IVF. Worse still, on MSNBC, he flatly stated: “Thank God for IVF, my wife and I have two beautiful children.”

CNN ‘Journalist’ Dragged For Fact Checking JD Vance’s Joke About Tim Walz

Earlier this week, JD Vance cracked a joke about Democrats holding their convention in Chicago so that Tim Walz would be able to say he’s been in a war zone.

Hilariously, a CNN reporter took the comment at face value and ‘fact checked’ it as wrong.

She did a journalism. Hard hitting research.

55 to 60 Arrested During Violent DNC Protests: Chicago Police

Nighttime protests outside the Israeli consulate in Chicago on Aug. 20 led to between 55 and 60 arrests, according to Superintendent Larry Snelling of the Chicago Police Department.

He said exact figures would be provided at a later time.

“Last night was a danger to our city and a danger to our citizens,” Snelling told reporters during a news conference on Aug. 21, more than half a day after violence broke out west of the United Center during the Democratic National Convention.

The Epoch Times witnessed multiple arrests as pro-Palestinian demonstrators, many with their faces obscured, physically clashed with law enforcement on Madison Street.

Snelling told the media that those apprehended on the scene included three journalists.

“We need you guys to step to the side,” he said, recommending that reporters keep at least two arm’s-length distance between themselves and officers to maintain what he described as a “reactionary gap.”

Harris -Walz are oblivious that the U.S. economy CAN NOT exist without crude oil.

“Renewables” such as wind turbines and solar panels ONLY exist to generate occasional electricity under favorable weather conditions, as they CANNOT make tires, toilet paper, iPhones, or any products or transportation fuels to support lifestyles and economies around the world!

Neither VP Kamala Harris nor Minnesota Governor Tim Walz are cognizant that all the parts of spacecrafts, EV’s, and for more than 50,000 merchant ships, more than 20,000 commercial aircraft  more than  50,000 military aircraft , 23,000 private planes, and 33 million pleasure boats are made from the products based on derivatives manufactured from crude oil.

In addition, all those merchant ships, commercial and military aircraft, private planes, and pleasure boats, use transportation fuels manufactured from crude oil. 

FURTHER, everything that NEEDS electricity to function, like iPhones, iPads, TV’s, computers, data centers, and X-Ray machines are made from the oil derivatives manufactured from raw crude oil.

It’s shocking that neither Harris nor Walz comprehend that electricity was developed AFTER the discovery of crude oil. Without the parts and components to be able to generate electricity such as insulation, copper wiring, computers, control panels, and air conditioning, there would be no electricity from any of the six methods used to generate electricity such as coal, natural gas, nuclear, hydro, wind, and solar.

Amazingly, neither Harris nor Walz have enough Energy Literacy to direct policymakers to write energy policies!

Policymakers have no comprehension that crude oil is virtually never used to generate electricity, but when manufactured into those petrochemicals that are the basis of more than 6,000 products, is the basis for virtually all the products that support Hospitals, Medical equipment, Appliances, Electronics, Telecommunications, Heating and Ventilating, and Communications systems.

Trump Announces Reinstatement of Discharged Military Members Over Unconstitutional COVID Mandate — Promises Full Back Pay and Formal Apology from U.S. Government

President Donald Trump made a triumphant return to the campaign trail in Asheboro, North Carolina, holding his first outdoor rally since the assassination attempt against him one month ago.

With a crowd of thousands cheering him on, Trump, alongside Senator JD Vance, laid out their vision for restoring America’s global standing after the disastrous Harris-Biden regime.

Some of the highlights from the rally:

  • Saluting Local Law Enforcement: President Trump took a moment to honor local sheriffs on stage, stating, “You are the reason that we’re able to be here and have a safe state — and a great state.” His appreciation for law enforcement resonated deeply with attendees.
  • Compassion in Action: Trump comforted a member of the crowd who suffered a medical emergency.
  • A Record of Success: Reflecting on his first term, Trump reminded supporters of his administration’s significant foreign policy achievements: “We defeated ISIS, we killed the world’s top terrorists, we secured our borders, we achieved Energy Independence, we stood up to China, we protected Israel, we made peace in the Middle East … and we didn’t start wars.”
  • Critique of Afghanistan Withdrawal: Trump lamented the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan under the current administration: “Under my leadership, we were getting out of Afghanistan — but we were going to get out with dignity, pride, and with strength.” He emphasized that during his tenure, no American service members were lost in combat in Afghanistan for 18 months.
  • Restoring Peace Through Strength: Looking ahead to a potential second term, Trump pledged to restore America’s strength immediately after taking office: “Starting the moment I lift my hand from the Bible after taking the oath of office, I will move to restore America to maximum strength and return the world to peace.”
  • Border Security Accountability: Senator Vance did not hold back in his criticism of Vice President Kamala Harris’s handling of border security: “As Border Czar, Kamala Harris has allowed a literal invasion of this country … If we give Kamala Harris a promotion and make her the president of the United States, the southern border is going to look like Walmart on Black Friday.”
  • The Stakes of This Election: Vance encapsulated the choice facing voters: “Let’s be honest, folks: mean tweets and world peace has a pretty nice ring to it — and I think we ought to bring it back.”

Also, during the rally, President Trump announced that all military members discharged for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine mandate would be reinstated with full back pay and apology from the government.

Hypocrite Alert: Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar Praises Kamala Harris as ‘Tough on the Border’ at DNC, Yet Demanded Biden and Harris Fix Border Crisis in Resurfaced 2022 Video

Democrat Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar took the stage at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) on Wednesday, delivering a speech that seemed more fantasy than reality.

Salazar not only attacked former President Trump, blaming him for Texas’s immigration crisis, but also heaped praise on Kamala Harris, hailing her as “tough on the border.”

“When Donald Trump comes down to Texas and stands next to officers in uniforms just like mine, he’s not there to help us. Don’t think that—not for a second. He is a self-serving man. I mean, look, just like when he killed the border bill, he just made our jobs harder.”

“Now, Kamala, on the other hand, has been fighting border crime for years. She’s gone down to Mexico and worked to stop the traffickers. When the traffickers didn’t stop, she put them in jail.”

“Now, down in my neck of the woods, we call that fooling around and finding out. I may be paraphrasing a bit. We protect them. Now, the border sheriffs that I know and I, we’re like Kamala. We protect and serve. We enforce the law, we show compassion, and we fight like hell to protect our border. Because as we’ve always known in Texas: When we fight, we win.”
