Translation: "I know the indictments are frivolously bogus, but 'pardoning' Trump would have made Trump look guilty!"

Romney's envy and bitterness over Trump having been elected President while he, Romney, had been rejected by voters is cringey.

Sounds like a pretty strong consensus to me.

Texas Scorecard by  Emily Medeiros May 15, 2024

Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham says she has no plans to hand over ownership of the island.


After Texas secured Fronton Island from the Mexican cartels, the Biden administration is now saying that the land is federal property.

Fronton Island is a 170-acre island situated in the Rio Grande between Starr County and Mexico and is known to be a hotspot for Mexican cartel trafficking.

In a letter from the International Boundary and Water Commission, Principal Engineer Ramon Macias asserts that “Fronton Island is federal property and is under the jurisdiction of the IWBC.” Macias asks the Texas General Land Office to remove any obstructions on the land—referencing two sediment bridges the Texas National Guard put in place after Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham certified the island as state-owned property.

Buckingham posted to X saying Texas won’t hand over ownership of the island.

“Texas has stepped up, and we have no intention of relinquishing our claim of ownership of Fronton Island,” wrote Buckingham. “As long as the people in that far away U.S. Capitol continue to ignore the people who sent them there, Texas and the @TXGLO, under my direction, will continue to do everything in its power to keep our families and communities safe!”

Texas Scorecard by  Erin Anderson May 15, 2024

The court held that the true outcome of the November 2022 race for 180th District Court cannot be determined.

A judge has ordered a redo of the November 2022 election between Tami Pierce and DaSean Jones for the 180th District Court in Harris County after finding far more illegal votes were cast in the race than the margin of victory.

Pierce, a Republican, contested her 449-vote loss to Democrat incumbent Jones in January 2023, but the case was delayed for nearly a year by a motion to dismiss filed by Jones.

Judge David Peeples, a visiting judge from San Antonio, ruled Wednesday that the true outcome of the election cannot be determined and ordered a new election.

Following a bench trial in April, Peeples found that a total of 1,751 votes in the race should not have been counted, including nearly a thousand illegal votes cast by voters who resided outside of Harris County and more than four hundred cast by voters with no photo ID and incomplete “reasonable impediment” forms.

‘NO Climate Crisis’ Says Coalition of 1,600 Actual Scientists
The United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is ‘one of the worst sources of dangerous misinformation’

By Katy Grimes, May 13, 2024 2:55 am

“There is ‘NO Climate Crisis’ says a coalition of 1,600 actual scientists” in a recent letter to the California Air Resources Board. In fact, the scientists find that “California is in no danger of unusual drought: The annual precipitation in California has fluctuated greatly over the last 150 years, with only a slight decrease.”

California also has record low levels of air pollution that are below the threshold of human health effects, James E. Enstrom, PhD, MPH has told us repeatedly for years. He’s also one of the 1,600 scientists signed onto the letter to CARB.

The scientists also insisted that carbon dioxide is beneficial to Earth.

The CO2 Coalition’s letter is particularly timely with Gov. Gavin Newsom taking his climate change road show to the Vatican later this week where he was invited to speak by Pope Francis at a Summit of mayors and governors. The Summit, which will be held from May 15th to May 17th, will cover “the impact of rising temperatures” in local communities, and “climate resilience.”
