When the Rev. Al Sharpton used the word “invasion” to describe the onslaught of migrants at the southern U.S. border on Monday, his MSNBC guest suddenly stopped nodding along. And then the fast blinking began — he was triggered. Because to the American left, the word “invasion” is off-limits and even “violence-inciting.” But the word — and...
By now you’ve probably read about the disastrous Senate bill released in a late Sunday news dump. Unfortunately, while the American people beg the nation’s leaders to take responsibility for border security, the Senate has instead released 370 pages of lawless insanity. What’s even more infuriating after reading this pointless bill is knowing that the...
No matter what the corporate media says, it’s a fact that many Americans are hanging on by a thread today. And it’s no wonder why. Under the Biden administration, the cost of gas, groceries, and rent has soared. Mass layoffs have become increasingly common. And high rates of inflation continue to erode savings, disposable income,...
The state of Texas, unlike much of the country, has mostly weathered the current economic downturn. But while our resilience is to be commended, we aren’t completely immune, and a clear example is our housing affordability crisis. Thankfully there is one reform that can bring Texans much needed relief. Suffocating lot size restrictions are among...
Public money should pay for public functions, not the activities of private labor unions. It’s one of the most corrupt and unlawful ways that the government provides favors to political benefactors and preferred special interests. In a practice called “release time,” governments allow labor unions to use other people’s money to pay for politically connected special interests...
Not long ago, pundits were telling us that gasoline-powered cars would soon vanish from the streets, replaced by sleek, space-age vessels powered by electricity. But consumer demand for electric cars never matched the hype. Fewer drivers are interested in electric vehicles today than ever before, according to a new survey. This is further confirmed by Hertz’s...
Wind and solar power deserve a frosty reception after last month’s freeze in Texas. Since the fatal winter storm in February 20201, Texans have been apprehensive about the state electrical grid’s reliability in extreme weather. The grid primarily relies on coal and natural gas, but new investment to meet growing demand is skewed toward renewables....
The following commentary is published on Thursdays as part of TPPF’s subscriber-only newsletter The Post. If you would like to subscribe to The Post, click here. Texas Democrats will tell you that they lose elections not because Texas is a red state but because it’s a “non-voting” state. It’s an effective coping mechanism for a party...
Since the 2020 election, chaos and order have been the yin and yang in the battle for election integrity. One side routinely introduces electoral chaos into our fragile system, causing doubt and confusion. The other side strives to restore a bipartisan loss of confidence in the system. And in this battle between order and chaos,...
There is a reason our parents always told us to beware of strangers in vans. That even applies in elections. As children, our parents taught us to beware of strangers. We were cautioned to avoid strangers offering candy or to let you pet their puppy. But perhaps above all, we were warned never to get...
On Dec. 28, the White House issued a joint communiqué with Mexico that created some tension when the American version identified “democratic decline” as one of the root causes of heavy and irregular migration flows at the border. When Mexico’s version excluded that phrase, it was immediately removed from the White House statement to align with the...
Election fraud: It’s a loaded term in our nation’s public discourse but I’ve found that even politically savvy people do not fully understand how complicated, or common it is. I was a prosecutor in the Texas Attorney General’s Election Integrity Division from 2019 to 2023. I went there shortly after the office was created, when...
