Texas Republicans Punch Back at GOP-Controlled House Over Paxton Impeachment.

The Dallas County GOP has voted to condemn the Texas House’s impeachment of Attorney General Ken Paxton, a prominent, Trump-supporting conservative targeted by establishment Republicans partnered with left-wing “impeachment managers”. The group is the largest party association in the state. The Texas GOP as a whole also blasted the move as “illegal.”

“Now therefore be it resolved that the Dallas County Republican Party CONDEMNS the process by which the Texas House of Representatives impeached General Paxton as unprecedented and an offense to Due Process and the Rule of Law, and hereby IMPLORES Texas L. Governor Dan Patrick and members of the Texas Senate to uphold Due Process, fairness, precedent, and the Rule of Law by immediately returning the impeachment articles to the House of Representatives and conduct no further proceedings in the Texas Senate unless and until the House of Representatives fully satisfies due process, complies with applicable Texas law, and adheres to precedent regarding the Constitutional and statutory impeachment processes, and that Ken Paxton [may] immediately resume his duties as duly-elected Attorney General.

While the Texas House is supposed to be under Republican control, the impeachment effort was led by Ann Johnson, a Democrat. Democrats also made up majority of House members voting to impeach Paxton – though more House Repulicans joined them than opposed them, putting them badly out of step with the Republican grassroots in the Lone Star State.

Worse, the impeachment was rushed through in 48 hours without due process. Paxton was not given the opportunity to refute the supposed evidence against him – indeed, months on from the impeachment vote, Paxton, his counsel, and the American public still had no real detail on the charges leveled against him.

Coverage of this situation by The National Pulse saw Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick inundated with demands to to take action against House impeachment managers. Hours later, Patrick used his authority as President of the Texas Senate and Presiding Officer of the Court of Impeachment to impose a discovery order on the House, ordering impeachment managers to produce the evidence being used against Paxton or face contempt of court proceedings.

Zelensky Mocks Request for Gratitude Towards Western Taxpayers.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has mocked the idea of showing gratitude towards Western taxpayers after British Defence Secretary Ben Wallace suggested “people want to see a bit of gratitude” from Kiev.

“Let him write to me [about] how else I should express my words of gratitude or we could get up in the morning and express our words of gratitude to the minister,” Zelensky said sarcastically, implying some kind of ceremonial thanking to placate Wallace.

NATO members in Europe have run down their stocks of armor and shells to supply Zelensky. Even America has had to resort to sending him controversial cluster bombs as munitions run low.

While Zelensky claimed the NATO summit was a “meaningful success” for Ukraine, he was scathing of the alliance shortly before his arrival, blasting its “absurd” failure to offer him either membership or a clear timeline on membership. Viral photographs from the summit show the Ukrainian, once the perennial center of attention, left alone amid NATO leaders, and glaring angrily at the cameras.

Biden’s White House Called 42 ‘Brunch Lids’ This Year – What Are Those?

The Biden White House has called 42 “brunch lids” and 39 “lunch lids” this year, according to analysis by the Spectator magazine, which explains:

The White House typically calls a temporary press lid for a couple of hours each afternoon. This is a period of time where there are no public events on the president’s schedule and everyone in the press corps is allowed to rest and recharge.

Previous administrations were big on calling these “lunch lids,” but due to the pause on activity starting earlier in the day and the Biden admin just being bad and bougie, “brunch lid” has become the new favorite term. From Cockburn’s rough count of White House pool reports so far this year, the Biden admin has called thirty-nine lunch lids and forty-two brunch lids. Talk about a bottomless brunch!

While humorous and “very D.C.”, the policy goes a long way to explaining the inefficacy of Biden’s White House and the press corps that is supposed to hold it to account. Fundamentally, they’re starting their days at 8am, and calling a “lid” by 11 for “brunch”. It’s unclear as to whether or not many of those who are brunching even end up coming back to the office after.

Biden has vacationed an inordinate amount during his time in the Oval Office, often at the expense of his political donors, who are known to ask favors in return for use of their facilities.

Pence, Asked About a Declining America, Replies ‘That’s Not My Concern’.

Former Vice President Mike Pence was quizzed by Tucker Carlson on Friday as to whether or not he was concerned about the decline across American cities, including skyrocketing suicide rates and major economic decline. In response, he began, “That’s not my concern,” before going on to state he was running for President of the United States because he believes in addressing both domestic issues but also in continuing a costly proxy war against Russia, via Ukraine.

Pence, 64, was speaking at the The Blaze’s ‘Summit’ hosted by the former Fox News anchor, who pressed him on the wisdom of spending billions in Eastern Europe while “every city in America has become much worse.”

Tucker concluded, “Where’s the concern for the United States?” before Pence shot back, “That’s not my concern.”

Pence added: “Tucker I’ve heard that routine from you before but that’s not my concern. I’m running for President of the United States because I think this country’s in a lot of trouble… as President of the United States we’re gonna restore law and order in our cities, secure our border, get this economy moving again, make sure we have men and women on our courts at every level that will stand for our right to life… anybody who says we can’t be leader of the free world and solve our problems at home has a pretty small view of the greatest nation on Earth. We can do both.”

His answer came moments after Tucker caught candidate Tim Scott urging more support in destroying Russia, also.

Over 10% of Georgia Voter Challenges Are Successful.

Of 100,000 voter registration challenges in Georgia since 2020, some 11,100 were upheld, according to a ProPublica analysis of 30 of the Peach State’s 159 counties. Regular citizens were empowered to challenge people on the voter rolls if, for example, they appeared to be improperly registered to P.O. boxes or business addresses following the 2020 election, in response to “many electors [being] concerned about allegations of rampant voter fraud”.

Around 90 percent of the challenges were lodged by just six dedicated election integrity activists, with a further 12 people accounting for most of the remainder. While ProPublica framed this negatively, one of the activists insisted he was “free labor trying to help the system to make sure everyone can vote.”

“I’m not trying to suppress anyone. I just want clean voter rolls for a multitude of reasons,” he explained – citing, for example, the risk of mail-in absentee ballots being used by the wrong people.

Georgia’s state leaders are not generally concerned with mitigating possible electoral abuses, however, with Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger refusing to do anything about the “critical vulnerabilities” scientists have found in its Dominion voting machines.

In the mean time, activists are experiencing around a 12 percent success rate in challenging voter registration inconsistencies — hardly the “statistically zero” number of problems claimed by corporate media outlets when discussing election integrity.

Hunter’s Lawyers Tell Trump to Leave Him Alone… Or Else!

Hunter Biden lawyer Abbe Lowell has written to former President Donald Trump’s lawyers warning of “more legal trouble” if he does not leave Hunter alone.

“[Y]ou should make clear to Mr. Trump – if you have not done so already – that Mr. Trump’s words have caused harm in the past and threaten to do so again if he does not stop,” Lowell wrote, adding that Trump should be told “his incitement can further hurt people and cause himself even more legal trouble.”

Hunter’s lawyer appeared to take particular issue with Trump’s recent commentary on cocaine being found at the White House. The former president has suggested the narcotics belonged to Hunter, a supposedly recovering drug addict discharged from the military for cocaine abuse, and joked that the First Son intended to “feed a little bit to his father to give him energy.”

“You know, if Mr. Trump does not, that Mr. Biden has neither committed nor been accused of the charges that your client is claiming… and that the Biden family was not at the White House (let alone in the vestibule) in the period when the cocaine was found,” Lowell insisted.

Trump Blasts Biden’s Move to Ready Reservists for Ukraine.

Former President Donald Trump has slammed President Joe Biden for his executive order readying 3,000 U.S. army reservists in support of Operation Atlantic Resolve, which “provides rotational deployments of combat-credible forces to Europe” related to the 2014 Russia invasion of Crimea.

Trump insisted that Biden’s order “proves that his reckless escalation in Ukraine is straining the U.S. military to the point of disaster.”

The 45th President added: “Just last week, Biden shockingly admitted that our arsenals are so badly depleted that the United States is running out of ammunition. Now, we see the ranks are growing so thin that reserve troops are being forced to support Biden’s calamitous policy in Europe, while our own borders remain undefended.”

“Joe Biden can’t even walk up the steps of Air Force One without tripping. The last thing this incompetent administration should be doing is pushing us further toward World War Three.”

– Donald J. Trump, July 2023

“Yet Biden has proclaimed that he will continue sending American treasure and weaponry to fuel endless war in Ukraine for “as long as it takes.” When I am reelected, it will take 24 hours. This conflict must end. Not one American mother or father wants to send their child to die in Eastern Europe. We must have PEACE.

“As President, I will AGAIN rebuild America’s military and restore the readiness and deterrence that Joe Biden has so dangerously squandered, and I will return to a foreign policy that puts AMERICA FIRST, so that we can once again have PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH.”

Dems Now Trust MSNBC More Than CNN.

MSNBC is considered to be more trustworthy by Democrat voters than CNN, according to a recent survey from Rasmussen Reports. A total of 23 percent of Democrats trust MSNBC compared to the 22 percent who trust CNN.

CNN has faced a number of challenges since it’s hyper-editorialised, anti-Trump derangement, post-2015. Recently, the network fired its CEO Chris Licht for having the temerity to host a former President and presidential front runner in a town hall where he mopped the floor with the channel’s newest nightly anchor, Kaitlin Collins.

The most trusted corporate media organization is still Fox News, both amongst the American public and Republican voters. But the numbers are hardly solid. Just one in four – 25 percent – of Americans “trust” Fox News, with that figure increasing to 43 percent amongst Republican voters. Notably, Democrats trust Fox News more than they trust ABC, CBS, and NBC News.

Media Bias. 

Rasmussen also asked the 1,005 likely US voters: “Is the problem of bias in the news media getting better or worse? Or is the problem about the same as usual?”

A majority of 58 percent told Rasmussen they believe media bias has worsened, including almost half of Democrats – 42 percent – and a whopping 68 percent of Republicans. Only 13 percent of the respondents believe that media bias has improved.

‘I’d Kick Trump’s Ass in the Octagon’ Claims Chris Christie.

Chris Christie says he could beat up former President Donald Trump.

“The guy’s 78 years old, I’d kick his ass,” claimed Christie, who is 60 and morbidly obese, in an interview with Piers Morgan. The former president is actually 77.

Christie, who is limping along at statistically zero for the Republican presidential nomination, said he would “fight Donald Trump anywhere he wants, in any arena he wants, whether it’s on a debate stage or in the Octagon.”

The former Governor of New Jersey also complained about Trump making fun of his size, admitting he had “struggled with [his] weight” for 30 years and saying Trump was “a child, an infant [to] make those kind of remarks” – then making jabs of his own at Trump’s physique.

While many of those challenging Trump for the Republican nomination are presenting themselves as MAGA alternatives, Christie has presented himself as explicitly anti-Trump. Bill Kristol, a fellow RINO, has even urged Christie to endorse Biden over Trump.

Biden WH Threatens to BAN Black Immigrant Reporter for Disobedience.

Today News Africa reporter Simon Ateba has been told by the White House that he could be banned from the Press briefing room for questioning why he is routinely ignored by White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.

The White House served Ateba the “warning” following his latest complaint of being ignored by Jean-Pierre at the end of last month. The letter, which Ateba posted on his Twitter account, tells him that his behavior on the occasion was “unacceptable,” threatening:

“If you continue to impede briefings or events by shouting over your colleagues who have been called on for a question, even after you have been asked to stop by a White House employee, then your hard pass may be suspended or revoked.”

Ateba has been repeatedly ignored by the White House after asking difficult questions to the Biden administration, such as addressing Biden’s eight-country African travel ban in late 2021. Since then, Ateba claims he has been blacklisted, with his emails and remonstrances going unanswered and attempts to meet with the press secretary being declined. Ateba argues that he has taken to shouting his questions from the back of the room “as a last resort.”

He has even gone so far as to claim the refusal to allow him to ask questions is a result of  discrimination. “I’m Black, I’m an immigrant and I’m the little guy,” Ateba states.
