March 26 Faith Is the Key to Waking Black Democrats Up From Their Political Ties
It can be extremely challenging to convince a modern leftist that their ideas are wrong. Even trying to get them to acknowledge that the borders are more secure today is often met with challenges in the "way" the border has been secured, which invariably turns the conversation towards ICE and deportations. Their cognitive dissonance is strong.
There is a path to wake many Democrats up, particular Black- and Hispanic-American Democrats. The contradictions between being of the Christian faith and adhering to Democrat political doctrine are clear and demonstrable. If we can't get people to wake up to the inefficacy of Democrat policies, perhaps making them understand that they cannot in good faith be a Christian and Democrat at the same time. This is what happened in Detroit this week.

March 24 President Trump Is Absolutely Right About Election Integrity Being a National Security Concern
President Donald Trump has declared that election integrity, specifically through voter ID and proof of citizenship, constitutes a core element of homeland security and must be addressed immediately.
Trump urged Senate Republicans to attach the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act to the Department of Homeland Security funding bill to resolve the ongoing partial government shutdown.
The SAVE America Act requires documentary proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration in federal elections and photo identification at the time of voting, with limited exceptions for mail-in ballots.
Trump framed the two issues as inseparable, stating that “voter ID is part of Homeland Security” and “proof of citizenship is part of homeland security.”
A month-long stalemate over DHS funding has led to TSA staffing shortages at airports, prompting Trump to deploy ICE agents for assistance.
Democrats have vowed to block the SAVE America Act, while Trump has insisted he will not sign other legislation until it passes in strong form.
Public support for basic voter identification measures remains high across party lines, yet the bill faces filibuster hurdles in the Senate.
The push comes amid broader concerns that unsecured borders and lax registration practices could allow non-citizens to influence American elections.
Trump’s position echoes long-standing arguments that the integrity of the ballot box directly affects national sovereignty and security.
Failure to secure elections risks eroding public trust in the democratic process itself.

March 22 Sending ICE to Airports Is a Huge Opportunity to Make ICE Look Good
President Trump announced ICE agents will assist TSA at airports starting Monday amid a partial DHS shutdown causing travel delays.
The move, led by border czar Tom Homan, aims to relieve overwhelmed TSA workers unpaid for weeks due to congressional funding impasse.
Long airport lines during spring break have intensified public frustration with staffing shortages and absenteeism.
ICE's visible, helpful presence offers a chance to humanize agents often portrayed negatively by critics and media.
Everyday interactions could challenge misconceptions, showing ICE personnel as dedicated professionals serving the nation.
Critics may decry the deployment as political, but it addresses immediate travel needs with trained federal personnel.
The effort highlights the dedication of both TSA and ICE employees working under difficult conditions.
Positive encounters have potential to reshape public views on immigration enforcement one traveler at a time.

March 20 Embarrassing Losses by Radicals in Democrat Primaries Point to Logical Focus in November, But...
In the deep-blue stronghold of Illinois, voters delivered a clear message on Tuesday: the far-left wing of the Democrat Party, often amplified by high-profile endorsements from members of “The Squad,” does not command the loyalty it once appeared to hold.
Progressive challengers backed by figures like Reps. Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and others went down to defeat in multiple Democratic primaries, handing victories to more moderate, establishment-aligned candidates. This outcome in a state that reliably delivers Democratic majorities raises fresh questions about the party’s internal direction ahead of the November 3, 2026, general elections.

March 16 The So-Called MAGA 'Civil War' Isn't Going to Make a Difference for the Midterms
The battle lines have been drawn between the various warring factions within the conservative movement. The MAGA faithful are being torn apart as they choose whether to back this side or that side. But is it really that bad? Perhaps. But is it really going to have an impact on the midterms? No. Here's why...

March 11 The Plight of the Faithful Is Hitting Both Sides of the U.S. Senate Race in Texas
Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) launched a Faith Advisory Council on March 10, 2026, as part of his evangelical outreach effort ahead of a May Republican primary runoff against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
Three council members — Dr. Jack Graham, pastor Max Lucado, and Dr. Gus Reyes — are affiliated with the Evangelical Immigration Table (EIT), a group that advocates for chain migration and pathways to citizenship for illegal immigrants.
Meanwhile, James Talarico is an existential threat to America on the Democrat side of the race. His perverted presentation of the Bible would be exponentially more dangerous from the halls of Congress because he would not only help destroy America politically, but will infect Americans with false doctrines. So as much as I dislike John Cornyn, I'll take him any day over Talarico.

March 06 Tony Gonzales Is Out, So Who Is the GOP Nominee Brandon Herrera?
Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) announced Thursday he will not seek re-election, dropping out of his Republican primary runoff after mounting pressure from House Speaker Mike Johnson and the entire House GOP leadership team.

The scandal centers on an admitted affair with Regina Santos-Aviles, a 35-year-old aide in his Uvalde district office, who later died by suicide. Gonzales had publicly denied the affair as recently as November before finally confessing on a radio show the morning after his primary.

Text messages obtained by the San Antonio Express-News — shared by Santos-Aviles's widower — showed Gonzales pressing her for explicit photos, with messages she reportedly described as going "too far." The story broke wide open on the eve of early voting.

Gonzales was forced into a runoff against Brandon Herrera, the YouTube gun-rights personality known as "the AK Guy," finishing roughly 42% to Herrera's 43% — a collapse driven largely by election-day voters reacting to the late-breaking scandal coverage.

The House Ethics Committee launched a formal investigation into Gonzales's conduct, adding institutional weight to the political pressure that ultimately ended his campaign.

Leadership stopped short of demanding his resignation from his congressional seat — a deliberate calculation to protect the razor-thin House Republican majority from a potentially competitive special election in the 23rd District.

The 23rd District — 27 counties stretching 800 miles of the Texas-Mexico border — is now an open seat, making it one of the most closely watched congressional battlegrounds of the 2026 cycle, with Herrera as the presumptive Republican nominee heading into the May 26 runoff.

February 27 Soros-Puppet DA Went Soft on a Career Criminal Who Then Murdered a Father of Five
Travis County DA José Garza is facing renewed criticism after career criminal Caleb Anthony Jenkins was charged with murdering a 25-year-old father of five outside an Austin 7-Eleven.
Jenkins had accumulated at least three separate gun charges dating back to 2022, all of which were dismissed or declined for prosecution by Garza's office.
Jenkins was also arrested on a domestic violence charge in 2023, failed to appear in court, was re-arrested, released again after a bond increase, and ultimately went on to allegedly commit murder.
Garza, who had no prior prosecutorial experience before taking office, was elected in 2020 with significant financial backing from a George Soros-aligned PAC that contributed $652,000 and spent nearly $1 million on campaign advertising.
Dennis Farris, president of the Austin Police Retired Officer's Association, previously accused Garza's prosecutors of acting "more like defense attorneys than they are prosecutors" and said victims were no longer being consulted before plea bargains were offered.
The family of Doug Cantor, killed in the 2021 Sixth Street mass shooting in Austin, publicly accused Garza of slow-walking the gunman's prosecution and putting the case on the "back burner."
Multiple victims' families have described Garza's office as unresponsive, secretive about case decisions, and indifferent to their need for justice.
Critics argue the pattern of declining to prosecute repeat offenders is not administrative oversight but a deliberate ideological commitment to decarceration and leniency.
Soros has funded similar progressive DA campaigns across the country, including in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Chicago, with many of those jurisdictions drawing comparable criticism over rising crime and lax prosecution.
Garza's office did not respond to requests for comment on the Jenkins case, and the DA has not publicly addressed why the prior gun charges against Jenkins were repeatedly dismissed.

February 25 Why JD Vance's Fraud Task Force Is a Key to Midterm Election Success for Republicans
The announcement at the State of the Union that JD Vance would be heading up a task force to uncover fraud in America was lowkey, but it represented the most potentially consequential midterm election event second only to passing the SAVE America Act.

February 23 How to Capitalize on the Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity to Get a Republican California Governor
California hasn’t elected a Republican governor in nearly two decades. But thanks to the state’s “jungle primary” system, 2026 may present a once-in-a-generation opportunity to flip Sacramento red — if conservatives understand the strategy and execute it correctly.

In this episode, we break down how two Republican candidates currently leading in the primary could both advance to the general election — not by consolidating early, but by maintaining parity. With Democrats splintered across multiple uninspiring contenders, the math creates a narrow but very real pathway to a Republican vs. Republican showdown in November.

This isn’t about intra-party fighting. It’s about discipline. It’s about turnout. And it’s about understanding how California’s top-two primary system can be leveraged to produce a general election where Democrats are locked out entirely.

We’ll explain how the numbers work, why vote-splitting on the Left could be the deciding factor, and what grassroots activists, donors, and everyday voters can do right now to maximize the odds of making history.

If Republicans play this right, California could witness something few thought possible: a guaranteed Republican governor in the most populous state in America.

This episode is your strategic briefing on how to capitalize on the moment.
