President Trump on America 250: "The UFC on June 14 — it’s going to be June 14 next year. They’re building an arena, the great Dana White is building an arena...the arena's going to be 5,000 or 6,000 seats right in front of front door of the White House."

It's fine to think Congresswoman Crockett isn't the strongest Democratic candidate to win the Texas Senate race, and I agree. But when the focal points of your criticism are her eyelashes and nails and her general appearance, it feels like you may need to chat with a therapist.

You mean the election where 30,000, Republican votes showed up at the last minute, when it should have only been around 1,000?
Until the left comes to terms with the election theft going on right under their noses, this will keep being repeated (i.e. that midterm lead will be meaningless).

The corrupt people on the Supreme Court aren't following the law anymore. They just make things up as they go along with no explanation for their decisions. Extremely dangerous times. Ignoring the fact that the Supreme Court hasn't been expanded since 1869 has given us a serious price to pay.
