    Another Democrat is calling it quits and backing Donald Trump for President…

    A Texas state lawmaker from the Houston area announced Friday that she is leaving the “almost unrecognizable” Democratic Party.

    In an announcement Friday, State Rep. Shawn Tierry explained that she made the switch because the Democratic Party has “veered so far left, so deep into the progressive abyss, that it now champions policies that I cannot, in good conscience, support,” the Texas Tribune reported.

    “As a woman, a mother, and a lawmaker, I have dedicated my life to championing the values that fortify our families and uplift our communities. After much reflection, prayer, and soul-searching, I have come to a decision that aligns with my core values and the best interests of our beloved country,” Tierry further explained in an X post.

    “For my entire adult life, I have voted as a Democrat. I was raised in a household with my amazing parents who believed the Democratic Party was the party of the people—a beacon of justice and opportunity for all,” she continued. “But as the years have passed, I have watched with dismay as the party I once knew has drifted far from its roots. It has become almost unrecognizable—radicalized and increasingly out of touch with the values that millions of everyday Americans hold dear.”

    Thierry also noted how the left stifles debate, silences dissent, and demands “blind allegiance to ideology.”

    The former Democrat received a standing ovation on Friday night when she formally announced her decision at a Moms For Liberty event.

    “The Democratic Party has moved so far back, so deep into the progressive abyss, that it now champions policies that I cannot, in good conscience, support. Policies like promoting sex changes for vulnerable children, dismantling Title IX protections for women and girls in sports. This is not the party that I grew up with,” Thierry explained.

    “And so it’s today, at such a time as this, that I am officially announcing that I am leaving the race and the life of the Democratic Party.”

    Thierry was recently defeated in a primary election after she voted to ban gender reassignment surgeries for children and bar biological men from competing in women’s sports.

    Michael Cohen Requests Judge Dismiss Trump Lawsuit

    Michael Cohen is asking a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit he faces from former President Trump.

    The former Trump “fixer” says that Trump’s $500 million lawsuit against him is “retaliation” for his part in being a witness in Manhattan prosecutors’ criminal case against the former president.

    “This suit combines the worst of Mr. Trump’s vindictive impulses. The Complaint, frivolous and scattershot, is an abusive act of pure retaliation and witness intimidation, albeit a ham-fisted one. It must be dismissed as a matter of law,” Cohen’s attorneys wrote in a court filing, according to The Hill.

    “Former President Donald J. Trump has described his favorite Bible verse as ‘an eye for an eye,’ which fairly captures his long history of exacting brutal retaliation — both broadly against perceived political, professional, and personal enemies, and specifically against Defendant Michael D. Cohen. Some of this retaliatory conduct has been petty and mean-spirited; some of it is patently unlawful and includes witness tampering, obstruction, and civil rights violations. Mr. Trump often abuses the court system to this end,” Cohen’s attorneys wrote.

    In the new dismissal motion, Cohen’s attorneys contended Trump’s suit must be tossed because many of Trump’s claims were brought too late, while others weren’t specific enough or did not show Trump suffered any harm.

    Trump’s filed a lawsuit against Cohen last month in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida.

    The suit alleges Cohen breached a confidentiality agreement and his attorney-client relationship with the former president, among other claims. The former president’s suit takes aim at Cohen’s book, podcast, and various media appearances, claiming he maliciously worked to acquire attention and wealth at Trump’s expense. 

    Trump’s lawsuit against Cohen came shortly after he was indicted in New York on 34 felony charges concerning allegations he orchestrated a plan with Cohen and National Enquirer publisher David Pecker to help squash politically damaging stories before they became public knowledge.

      Biden DHS Still Colluding with Big Tech to Censor Dissent

      ANALYSIS – Even as Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) publicly shuttered its stillborn ‘Disinformation Governance Board’ (aka Ministry of Truth) after a huge outcry, new evidence shows that Team Biden is still trying to use DHS to collude with Big Tech to censor Americans on social media.

      The latest information uncovered through an investigation by The Intercept points to a Facebook-designed portal that government officials could use to flag content they deem objectionable and request that the platform remove it. 

      According to The Intercept:

      There is also a formalized process for government officials to directly flag content on Facebook or Instagram and request that it be throttled or suppressed through a special Facebook portal that requires a government or law enforcement email to use. At the time of writing, the “content request system” at facebook.com/xtakedowns/login is still live. DHS and Meta, the parent company of Facebook, did not respond to a request for comment. The FBI declined to comment.

      That the federal government believes it can directly help control what views and news can be disseminated online is beyond reprehensible.

      As The Intercept notes:

      How disinformation is defined by the government has not been clearly articulated, and the inherently subjective nature of what constitutes disinformation provides a broad opening for DHS officials to make politically motivated determinations about what constitutes dangerous speech.

      In other words, governments don’t decide what is valid information and what isn’t.

      Instead, that is what politics, a free media and the marketplace of ideas are for.

      But Big Brother, especially under Democrats, is relentless in its appetite for control. (RELATED: Congressional Leaders Expose Scheme to Pump Liberal Misinformation Network Into Classrooms)

      The Intercept continues to describe this Orwellian effort:

      Key Takeaways:

      * The work is primarily done by CISA, a DHS sub-agency tasked with protecting critical national infrastructure.

      * DHS, the FBI, and several media entities are having biweekly meetings as recently as August.

      * DHS considered countering disinformation relating to content that undermines trust in financial systems and courts.

      * The FBI agent who primed social media platforms to take down the Hunter Biden laptop story continued to have a role in DHS policy discussions.

      And all this has been corroborated by official documentation and other news reporting.

      Earlier, NewsBusters reported that:

      DHS continued its counter-“disinformation” work in a more cloaked fashion, and that the government specifically intended to target certain content areas including COVID-19, election security and “domestic violent extremism.”

      Considering how much ‘accepted’ information about COVID was later proven false or questionable and how the FBI and DOJ have been falsely hyping the otherwise minor ‘domestic violent extremism’ threat, this effort is highly concerning.

      Meanwhile, a DHS Office of Inspector General report recommended that DHS “develop a unified strategy to counter disinformation campaigns that appear in social media.”

      All this portends an extremely dangerous trend that must be stopped in its tracks. 

      It is critical that a GOP-controlled Congress investigate and help dismantle all these insidious DHS ‘disinformation’ efforts as soon as possible.

        James O’Keefe Reemerges at CPAC, Hints at Next Steps

          Recently ousted Project Veritas boss James O’Keefe resurfaced at this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) with the whistleblower he credited the success to the recent Pfizer sting

          Last month, O’Keefe was ousted last month by Project Veritas’ board of directors over claims of employer abuse and allegations that he wasted the nonprofit’s money on his musical theater dreams.

          “We need brave whistleblowers,” O’Keefe said while introducing Debbie Bernal. “We need people on the inside. There were people on the inside of Pfizer who helped us obtain this.”

          “Stand up,” Bernal said. “Be brave. Do something for this country or we are all doomed.”

          O’Keefe credited Bernal with setting up the undercover encounter in which Jordon Walker, who leads research and development for mRNA projects at Pfizer. The scientist allegedly revealed to a hidden camera that the company’s COVID vaccines are impacting women’s menstrual cycles and that the company uses “directed evolution” to mutate coronaviruses for the creation of more potent variants and vaccines.

          The former Project Veritas boss admitted that Bernal was hesitant about coming forward regarding her help with O’Keefe’s investigation into the major pharmaceutical company.

          O’Keefe told CPAC attendees said that in the days after he was ousted from the organization he founded in 2010, she decided to go public with him. Bernal admitted that she was “scared for her life.”

          “I was worried that I would end up in a body bag, or in a car accident,” she said. “But I realized that the spirit of fear is not from the Lord. As a believer, I knew that I couldn’t just sit there, I couldn’t just sit there and watch. People get lied to, people get gaslit, it made me angry.”

          O’Keefe has kept his next plans close to the vest, but he strongly hinted that he may set up another investigative journalism group.

          “Courage is the virtue that sustains all others, and without that you really can’t do journalism,” he said. “I’m not stopping or giving up.”

          Award-Winning Actor Details Who Should Lead Dems After Helping Push Out Biden

          Oscar-winning actor George Clooney is weighing in on who he believes should take the reins of the Democrat Party next after helping push out Joe Biden ahead of the 2024 election.

          In a candid interview with CNN anchor Jake Tapper on Wednesday, Clooney offered an unexpected endorsement for one Democrat he said was “levitating above” the rest: Maryland Governor Wes Moore.

          When asked directly by Tapper who he had his “eyes on,” Clooney offered praise to several potential candidates within the party before making a confident promotion of Moore. (RELATED: George Clooney Publishes New York Times Op-Ed Urging Biden To Step Down)

          He began: “I really … there’s one person in particular I think is spectacular. There are a few: I like [Kentucky Governor] Andy Beshear.”

          “I’m a Kentucky guy, I like him, he’s a good guy. And they’re smart. And he’s won in a red state. He’s a Democrat. I like [Michigan Governor] Gretchen [Whitmer], I think is very good.”

          He continued: “But who I think is who I think is levitating above that is Wes Moore. I think he is the guy that has handled this tragedy in Baltimore beautifully. He has two tours of duty in Afghanistan, active duty. He speaks sort of beautifully. He’s smart. He ran a hedge fund. He ran the Robin Hood Foundation. He’s a proper leader.”

          Watch:

          Circling back to Moore, Clooney added, “I like him a lot. I think he could be someone we could all join in behind. We have to find somebody rather soon, you know, because we need to redo… Look, the other side, the side that I don’t support, they are, you know, running through government and doing their thing. So it’s our job now to put together a proper team to stand up because we’re right now polling very poorly.”

          Statistician and FiveThirtyEight founder Nate Silver is predicting that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) would become the presidential nominee for the Democratic Party in 2028.

          In a video published to his Silver Bulletin newsletter on Wednesday, Silver and former FiveThirtyEight podcast host Galen Druke both chose Ocasio-Cortez as their No. 1 pick for likely 2028 Democratic presidential nominee.

          “I think there’s a lot of points in her favor at this very moment,” said Druke. “In a Yale poll just out this week, AOC has the highest net favorability rating of any of the Democrats that they asked about.”

          He argued:

          So that means that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has broad appeal across the Democratic Party and there’s a lot of people who could potentially get on board with her. But I think equally important is the fact that she has very fervent support. I think a lot of people are gonna run in 2028 and it’s going to be a contest for attention and getting those sort of people who might be in your boat to turn out and stay with you through thick and thin, and I think that’s Ocasio-Cortez. Like, the media is kind of obsessed with her, and they’re going to follow her every move, which means she will be able to keep the attention on her throughout the primary process.

          Silver replied, “I agree with everything. She was going to be my first pick, and I can’t conceal that now, right? Because of some of the polling; because she has this kind of progressive lane, probably not to herself; because she is younger and media savvy. I mean, look, in polls, if she were to try to primary Chuck Schumer, she is now ahead in those polls and New York Democrats are actually a pretty moderate bloc.”

          After Silver added, however, that he was not yet sure whether Ocasio-Cortez would even run, Druke said, “I think she’s gonna run. If you’ve been following her moves in terms of her ‘Fight Oligarchy’ tour, in terms of the kind of content she’s putting out on social media.”

          Rush Limbaugh’s Widow Reveals Last Way He ‘Tweaked the Media’

            Rush Limbaugh is sticking it to liberals even beyond the grave.

            Kathryn Adams Limbaugh, the widow of conservative radio icon Rush Limbaugh confirmed to Glenn Beck that his death certificate reads his occupation as “Radio’s Greatest of All Time.”

            “[It was] another thing we wanted to do in a way to tweak the media as a final goodbye from Rush, which we know he certainly would have loved,” she said. “But someone put that through, ironically.”

            Limbaugh also described her late husband as someone who “was so humble.”

            “He had the biggest heart,” she said. “He was so sincere. He never forgot the little guy.”

            Later in the interview, Beck asked if Sir Elton John, who is known to support Democrats, was aware when he performed at her 2010 wedding that the groom was the conservative radio host. Ms. Limbaugh shared that she belives the two men regardless of their opposite ideological differences were actually very similar.

            “This may be breaking news, but I believe that Sir Elton John and Rush are actually very, very similar. They had quite a similar demeanor off of their performance personality. I believe that they both were so hard-working. They both were at the top of their game, so to speak. They both loved their audience,” Kathryn Limbaugh added. “So in many respects, they were very similar.”

            Rush Limbaugh passed away last February following a battle with lung cancer.

            Judge Orders Trump White House To Restore AP Access

              On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden, an appointee of President Trump, directed the White House to resume allowing the AP into the Oval Office, Air Force One and other limited spaces when they’re made available to other press pool members.

              He also granted the AP’s request for access to events open to all credentialed White House reporters, though he listed several caveats.

              “This injunction does not limit the various permissible reasons the Government may have for excluding journalists from limited-access events. It does not mandate that all eligible journalists, or indeed any journalists at all, be given access to the President or nonpublic government spaces. It does not prohibit government officials from freely choosing which journalists to sit down with for interviews or which ones’ questions they answer. And it certainly does not prevent senior officials from publicly expressing their own views,” McFadden wrote.

              “No, the Court simply holds that under the First Amendment, if the Government opens its doors to some journalists—be it to the Oval Office, the East Room, or elsewhere—it cannot then shut those doors to other journalists because of their viewpoints,” he wrote. “The Constitution requires no less.”

              After his initial ruling, the judge paused the order from going into effect until April 13, to give the Trump administration time to appeal.

              Scores of news organizations use the AP Stylebook for guidance on spelling, grammar and how to refer to certain people and places, to help ensure such references are widely understood in the U.S. and globally.

              Charles Tobin, a lawyer for the AP, said during a hearing last month that the news organization was in the “penalty box” for crossing Trump, which he called “abject retaliation.”

              “The White House hasn’t hidden that,” Tobin said. “They’ve doubled down.”

              “The White House hasn’t hidden that,” Tobin said. “They’ve doubled down.”

              AP spokesperson Lauren Easton said the decision affirms the fundamental right to “speak freely without government retaliation.”

              “This is a freedom guaranteed for all Americans in the U.S. Constitution,” she said. “We look forward to continuing to provide factual, nonpartisan and independent coverage of the White House for billions of people around the world.”
