We Are Under Attack From an Enemy Within
By listening to our founders and refusing to go along with this, we can name and defeat the ongoing danger to our constitutional republic

Democrats need a net gain of four seats to capture the Senate. If so, they’d control what happens in a vacancy, as Justice Samuel Alito admits he’s thought about retirement.

Early voting is already underway in some states. From now until Nov 3, I urge you all to...
1) Help get out the vote
2) Protect our electoral machinery from interference
3) Not succumb to complacency, defeatism, or cynicism
We are the only ones who can end this nightmare.

Talarico should do this every day until the election. It’s a good bit, and Paxton will be able to better relate to the rest of us getting all the text messages from Talarico.
Ken Paxton keeps dodging debates.
So I called his cell to invite him to a debate on Fox News.
He didn’t pick up.

Dr Oz: "There are 5 times more people in parts of Obamacare in Florida than live in the state. It's impossible More than a third of people on Obamacare have never used the insurance policy once. If you were gonna pay your hard-earned money to buy insurance, would you ever use it? The answer is yes"

For likely the first time in modern history, the Supreme Court decided more cases in fast-tracked, secretive proceedings than in open court.

CEO pay is up 1,316% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 28%.
CEOs are now paid 325 TIMES as much as the typical worker in their industry, according to @epi.org
Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?
