Democrats thought they had the leverage and could force President Trump to give them what they wanted. Instead they've foolishly given him what he could only have dreamt of – a Government Shutdown. They've given him what few presidents have had the opportunity or courage to attempt... the breathtaking chance to fundamentally reshape Washington, D.C., perhaps forever. ​​​​Democrat's shutdown stunt has backfired spectacularly.

When tracking President Trump’s "job approval" on a daily basis, people sometimes get so caught up in the day-to-day fluctuations that they miss the bigger picture. To look at the longer-term trends, Rasmussen Reports compiles numbers on a full-month basis, and despite reports to the contrary, the latest results show Trump's Month-by-Month Approval gained 1% in September, while even less disapprove.

Former FBI Director James Comey may be charged in the next few days over alleged false statements he made about not authorizing the leaks of classified information to the New York Times and other news sources. The news comes two weeks after former Comey adviser and Columbia University law professor Daniel Richman was subpoenaed as part of a criminal probe, and was first reported by MSNBC.

Perhaps the Left was hoping for a festival of anger and fear from Charlie Kirk’s remarkable Memorial Service Sunday afternoon. What they got instead was Revival & Hope – and on a scale rarely seen in human history. More than anything, what came out at the Kirk service was faith – the kind the United Sates of America was founded on. Over 277,000 devices registered in and around State Farm Stadium, and there were over 100 million streams overall worldwide.

Leftist comedian Bill Maher tried to trap Border Czar Tom Homan this weekend with the standard liberal fantasy: Just give amnesty to the millions of Illegal Immigrants already in the country. Homan shredded the idea piece by piece – and his reasoning was so airtight, even Maher’s leftist crowd applauded. It’s not every day you see progressives cheer for enforcement, but Tom Homan doesn’t mince words.

Charlie Kirk’s former Chief of Staff Mikey McCoy summed it up best. “Charlie’s assassin thought he could steal and silence his voice by putting a bullet in his neck. But in the words of Soren Kierkegaard, ‘The tyrant dies, his rule is over. The martyr dies, his rule has just begun.’” Think about it: While Erika Kirk was forgiving her husband’s assassin, the killer’s allies continued their hate fest right through his Memorial Service.

Well imagine that – Karma has come for Jimmy Kimmel, whose onscreen persona is about as big a jerk as you will find. Monday night's monologue, not a joke, asserted that Charlie Kirk was murdered by “one of them” in “the MAGA gang.” His bristling contempt for anyone right-of-center practically bursts through the screen on every show. He's just not funny, charming, or pleasant to watch.

Liberal Media Pundits & Democrat Politicians are reacting apoplectically after ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel “indefinitely” for making one of the sickest jokes possible about Charlie Kirk’s assassination. They’re warning that the 1st Amendment is "under assault," that Americans are "losing their free speech," and that the "free press" is all but gone. Don’t believe any of it. Let’s review what happened.

The South Side of Chicago is a literal "War Zone" – 617 murders and 2,000+ shootings in 2023. So you'd think that reducing crime, especially on the city's poorer-minority South Side would be a bi-partisan effort. After all, don’t "Black Lives Matter" to Democrats and Liberals and the Woke-Left National Media that's running our great city? Our left-wing Mayor & Governor value virtue-signaling over real solutions, and clearly are not going to help.

When murders are committed for political purposes, we call it Assassination. That’s what the murder of Charlie Kirk was. And "racism" played a part in the brutal stabbing of 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska on a light rail train in Charlotte. The people who commit such murders are the sickest of the sick – and there are more of them out there, waiting. We need to learn and find ways to stop them – before they change history again.

A sweeping housing reform bill signed into law earlier this year is now facing a major legal challenge, with housing developers warning the reforms will displace thousands of working-class Texans and accelerate an intensifying affordable housing crisis in the Lone Star State. According to the lawsuit, some of the so-called reforms will rewrite the terms of already existing affordable housing development agreements by retroactively changing the rules – a violation of the Texas Constitution.

The City of Charlotte's Mayor – Vi Lyles, a Democrat – initially urged “media partners” and others not to repost the shocking video of 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska's brutal murder. A Ukrainian-born pizza store worker who was innocently riding a light rail train in Charlotte, North Carolina when she was attacked and murdered from behind, "Sadly... couldn’t survive the Democrats’ criminal justice system,” said one critic.

"I think that there will be positive things that will be seen that happen in Washington, D.C., to where public demand (in other cities) would say, 'yes we would like this,'" Sessions said. "It's obvious that Chicago has a problem – and what happens is, that in this political dialog the president wants to be able to prove that everybody in the in the U.S.is entitled to a safe neighborhood, and the safety by government. 

“For a party that spends billions of dollars trying to find the perfect language to connect to voters, Democrats use an awful lot of words and phrases no ordinary person would ever dream of saying,” said 3rd Way’s Matt Bennett in a memo. "We're doing our best to get them to talk like normal people," his memo said – before dividing 45 (ubiquitous) words & phrases that make Democrats sound like ninnies into six categories.

With blue-collar wage growth now showing its largest increase in nearly 60 years under Donald Trump, the Democrat Party has seen a significant nationwide decline in Voter Registrations from 2020 to 2024 – including in all seven "Swing States" that decided the 2024 Election. Even more concerning for Democrats, the trend's continued in 2025 in the states considered to be majority "blue collar" regions.

"Texas has a long and proud tradition of rising to defend our homes, our freedom, and our communities," said Central Texas Congressman Chip Roy, as he officially announced his campaign for the position of Texas Attorney General this morning, saying, "I’m running for Attorney General to carry on that legacy… unafraid to fight, unafraid to win, and unafraid to defend Texas at every turn."

This wasn’t just about removing Donald Trump from the White House. It was about removing the possibility of any future president like him – a populist, an untamed nationalist, and most importantly, an unapproved winner from outside the Democrat Elite. It was a coordinated operation to reverse the outcome of a Presidential Election – using the organs of the state, the megaphone of the press, and the cowardice of the courts. And now, the receipts are in. The Russia Collusion and Democrat lies created and repeated by the Swamp are collapsing.

The Texas hemp industry represents everything the current state-sanctioned medical marijuana monopoly fears – Competition, Innovation, Affordability, and Consumer Choice. Marijuana is a "Schedule I Controlled Substance" under Federal Law, and requires a physician’s prescription to use. Hemp is federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill, and is widely used by Veterans and health consumers as a regulated food or supplement. The products are vastly different, and saying otherwise shamefully misleads the public and is medically dishonest.

Attorney General Ken Paxton – who is running to unseat Texas Sen. John Cornyn – issued a Press Release recently that drew attention to what he called a “major win” that would allow Texas to hold some of the nation's largest investment firms accountable for squeezing "money out of hardworking Americans.” What Paxton failed to mention in his release, however, is that he had benefited when the firm's profits boosted his own investments in those firms.

There are two big factors reshaping American politics & government right now – and their impacts run deep. First, President Trump is committed to real change – creating better jobs, more affordability, and better take-home pay. And second, the Democrat's wave of Big Government Socialism & Radical Values is driving voters away at a devasting pace. Neither factor will change anytime soon, and they're changing Voter Registration Patterns.
