Greg Abbott's statement on Texas' right to self-defense is so good, it should be framed next to 'victory or death' Alamo letter



As a border state, Texas takes the brunt of the illegal immigration crisis we’re experiencing in our country. The Biden administration, or, in the words of Sara Gonzales, the Biden “regime,” has disregarded immigration laws and welcomed millions of illegal aliens into the nation at the expense of the American people.

Back in December, Biden threatened to sue Texas if it implemented an immigration law called SB4 that would allow state and local law enforcement to arrest and prosecute those entering the country illegally.

Texas didn’t comply, choosing to exercise its Constitutional right to self-defense, and now, Biden is moving forward with the lawsuit. On Monday, the Supreme Court ruled that federal border agents be permitted to cut and remove razor wire Texas had set up to prevent illegal crossings.

The fact that the Biden administration “has the audacity to sue in this matter really should tell you what they think of you ... how they prioritize you and your safety as an American citizen,” says Sara.

In response to Biden’s unabashed breach of constitutional law, Texas Governor Greg Abbott issued a statement declaring, “Texas’s constitutional authority to defend and protect itself,” which “is the supreme law of the land and supersedes any federal statutes.”

According to Jason Buttrill, Abbott’s letter is so compelling, “it should be framed right next to [Lt. Colonel William Barret Travis’ letter]” in which he vowed to fight for Texas’ sovereignty until “victory or death.”

Abbott’s statement “could be copied to every other red state ... that's sick of the bullcrap, that's sick of crime going unpunished,” Jason tells Sara, adding that they’re going to come after other rights as well, including those outlined in the First and Second Amendments.

“This is the way through ... to say that the states are sovereign. There is a federal law of the land, but if you will not enforce it, you give us no choice; we will go our own way [and] screw you if we have to.”

Sara is encouraged by Abbott’s response as well, considering thus far he’s been “weak in action at the border.”

“It’s time to fight fire with fire,” she says, and we “have the constitutional authority to do so.”

COVER-UP: The phony Jan 6 committee deleted encrypted files



The truth about January 6 continues to be exposed.

Over 100 encrypted files relating to the January 6 Capitol riot probe were mysteriously deleted — and have now been recovered and password-protected.

The evidence is considered public information by Representative Barry Loudermilk of Georgia, who says it contains interviews and depositions that could prove crucial to making the case against the government.

Loudermilk believes that Bennie Thompson and Liz Cheney intentionally obstructed the subcommittee by failing to preserve critical information and videos as required by house rules.

“Now, this isn’t the first time they’ve been accused of this, because obviously, they did it,” Sara Gonzales comments.

Donald Trump made the same accusation in a January 2024 Truth Social post:

“Why did American Disaster Liz Cheney, who suffers from TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome), and was defeated for Congress by the largest margin for a sitting Congressman or Congresswoman in the history of our Country, ILLEGALLY DELETE & DESTROY most of the evidence, and related items, from the January 6th Committee of Political Thugs and Misfits,” Trump wrote.

Loudermilk also claimed that the FBI, Secret Service, and the Department of Defense had intelligence regarding the January 6 attack before it happened.

“That’s called a false flag,” Eric July explains.

SCOTUS DISASTER: 'Conservative' judges side with libs on key border case



The U.S. Supreme Court has voted to allow the federal government to resume cutting and removing razor wire installed by the state of Texas on the southern border.

The 5-4 vote was swayed by Justice John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett, who sided with liberal judges Ketanji Brown Jackson, Elena Kagan, and Sonia Sotomayor in the ruling.

“I don’t understand how you could possibly make this determination,” Sara Gonzales says, adding, “and now, while we wait for SCOTUS to hear the larger case, we just get to keep letting all of these people in unvetted.”

Stu Burguiere agrees but notes this is a process decision by the Supreme Court.

Burguiere believes it “doesn’t necessarily mean they’re arguing against Texas’ right to defend themselves,” though it does “make us more vulnerable for an extended period of time.”

He adds that while Justice John Roberts is a “lost cause,” this decision does make him nervous about Amy Coney Barrett.

“Hopefully this isn’t an indication of what’s to come,” he says.

However, with the recent overturning of Roe v. Wade, SCOTUS has given conservatives hope that what’s to come won’t be all that bad.

“That has helped, I think certainly in that case, but it’s not a cure-all,” Burguiere says.

NEW FACTS: Jan 6 DNC 'PIPE BOMB' story finally explodes!



BlazeTV’s investigative team has blown the story wide open on who really discovered the pipe bomb outside of DNC headquarters on January 6.

The original story went that a masked passerby stumbled on the pipe bomb before approaching the Capitol Police to report what he found.

But as more information is revealed, the original story is looking more like a lie.

“There was a massive cover up,” Grant Stinchfield, host of "Real America’s Voice," tells Sara Gonzales.

The pipe bomb was dropped outside of the DNC party headquarters, and the original surveillance tape was edited so viewers couldn’t see who dropped the pipe bomb.

Now, three years later, it’s been discovered that it wasn’t a passerby who found the pipe bomb at all. Rather, it was a U.S. Capitol policeman in plainclothes.

After the plainclothes officer told the responding police officers, they proceeded to finish their lunch in their vehicles.

Sara Gonzales has questions.

“How did the Secret Service fail to find a bomb prior to Harris’ arrival? Why did operators in the Capitol Police Command Center deliberately redirect CCTV cameras away from the pipe bomb investigation and detonation? Why do the Secret Service Agent and MPD officer feel safe enough to finish their lunch before investigating a pipe bomb 15 feet away?” Gonzales asks.

None of it is adding up.

“We may not ever know the truth,” Gonzales says. “But something severely stinks about that entire day.”

VIRAL: Watch Javier Milei eviscerate Klaus Schwab and other globalists at WEF annual summit



The World Economic Forum is finishing up its week-long summit in Davos, Switzerland. Among the many speakers was Argentina’s newly elected president, Javier Milei – a man who’s come to represent the idea of liberty in a day when freedom is on the decline in the Western world.

During his speech, Milei took the opportunity to tell “Klaus Schwab and the rest of them to their faces ... ’You guys are the problem, not the solution,”’ reports Sara Gonzales before playing a clip of the president’s speech.

“Today, I'm here to tell you that the Western world is in danger,” Milei began, “and it is endangered because those who are supposed to have to defend the values of the West are co-opted by a vision of the world that inexorably leads to socialism and thereby to poverty.”

“The main leaders of the Western world have abandoned the model of freedom — for different versions of what we call collectivism. We're here to tell you that collectivist experiments are never the solution to the problems that afflict the citizens of the world; rather, they are the root cause,” he continued.

“Everyone should watch it,” says Jason Buttrill, who calls the speech “a machine gun middle finger." “It is amazing.”

“He's a big-time thinker,” he continues, likening Milei to Thomas Sowell and Milton Friedman, “and he has the balls to say what needs to be done.”

To see Milei eviscerate the global elites of the WEF, watch the video below.

VIDEO PROOF: Nancy Pelosi's head of security LIED about January 6



David Lazarus was Nancy Pelosi’s head of security on January 6, 2021, and his testimony was key in the prosecution of several defendants.

However, Capitol CCTV footage can now be released to the public that appears to prove Lazarus lied in court about where he was on that fateful day.

Lazarus was initially brought in to corroborate the account of another Capitol police officer, Harry Dunn.

“So, Lazarus was brought in to corroborate Harry Dunn’s perjury,” Sara Gonzales says, noting that his lies “were used to put innocent people in prison, ruin their lives, ruin their family’s lives.”

Investigative journalist Steve Baker has been leading the charge in exposing what really happened on January 6, and at this point, he believes that this was all “allowed to happen.”

“I’ve harvested a day in the life of Harry Dunn from the Capitol CCTV video, and I can’t corroborate anything that he has said that he did that day that made him the hero of the day, that gave him the privilege of earning a Congressional Medal,” Baker explains.

“And now he’s running for Congress,” he adds.

As for whether or not Baker believes the “insurrection” was orchestrated, he definitely doesn’t believe it was all spontaneous.

“There were absolutely, irrefutably, agents provocateur in the crowd. They were there. Who were they working for? I don’t know,” Baker explains.

While the Capitol Police didn’t “draw first blood,” the provocateurs did. Then, the police allowed them in the building.

“There’s the video of the cop squirting a little tear gas canister at the first two guys coming through the window instead of drawing her weapon. I have never quite reconciled myself with that,” Baker says.

“It was allowed to go too far.”

Whoopi Goldberg’s latest Trump tirade is, well, embarrassing



“The View’s” Whoopi Goldberg should’ve stuck to acting and left the political commentary to those with common sense.

“Play a scene from ‘Sister Act,’” Jaco Booyens tells Sara Gonzales. “That was her best moment, and then it went downhill from there.”

But Sara thinks Goldberg’s latest Trump tirade is worth watching (even if only for giggles).

On a recent episode of “The View,” which Jaco says was “written by the Democratic Party,” Goldberg went on an embarrassing tirade about all the horrible things Donald Trump — “the dictator” — would inevitably do should he win the 2024 election.

“People's faith in the country is waning; that's the thing that's pissing me off,” she began, ignorantly adding that Joe Biden is “running for democracy,” which is “really what's at stake.”

However, “if the other guy becomes president,” she continued in reference to Donald Trump, people will have to worry about being put in “some camp somewhere.”

“That's his promise to us — he's going to force people to do his bidding. That’s what he said; ‘I’m gonna be good on day one, and then I’m gonna turn into some other person.”’

Of course, her words are ludicrous, as Trump has never uttered such a ridiculous statement.

But Goldberg wasn’t finished. She also had some things to say about our immigration problem.

Illegal immigrants are “coming here for a reason because they're living in a place that's not good for their families. If you're okay with that and you understand that, then fight for us to find a better way to make immigration work ... Don't fight for keeping everybody out because then we all have to leave,” she ranted.

To clarify, Biden is pro-democracy, Trump is going to put people he doesn’t like in camps, and if we don’t support open borders, then we’re all going to be forced to leave America.

“She’s talking about rounding people up in camps,” laughs Sara. “Your guy is the guy who's weaponized the entire FBI and DOJ against half of the country. You've got the FBI ... putting families at gunpoint because a pro-life ...You're throwing people in prison for decades because they waved an American flag in the capital and walked out and left non-violently.”

Michelle Obama claims she's 'terrified' for upcoming election. Here's why



Michelle Obama is very concerned about the 2024 election, and it’s starting to sound like the former first lady might have something in store herself for 2024.

“The things that keep me up because you don’t have control over them, and you wonder where are people, where are we in this, you know, where are our hearts, what’s going to happen in this next election,” she told Jay Shetty on the "On Purpose" podcast.

“I am terrified about what could possibly happen, because our leaders matter. Who we select, who speaks for us, who holds that bully pulpit — it affects us in ways that sometimes I think people take for granted,” Michelle added.

Sara Gonzales is not amused.

“Yeah, we know, which is why it’s a problem that we have a walking vegetable that is apparently controlling the bully pulpit,” she comments.

Entrepreneur and investor Carol Roth thinks Michelle has something else up her sleeve.

“I watched this and the first thing that popped into my head is, ‘She’s running,’” Roth tells Gonzales. “All of a sudden they’re trotting out Michelle Obama, who we haven’t seen in a very long time.”

“If she keeps popping up, that’s going to terrify me,” she adds.

WATCH: Skinny dipper cannonballs into Bass Pro Shops aquarium



A skinny dipper in Alabama recently took a plunge into Bass Pro Shops' aquarium.

Sara Gonzales plays the clip of the naked man as he proudly cannonballs into the water display before, much like a fish, flopping over the side of the tank and crashing painfully to the ground below.

“I have no idea if he was on something or if he was just having a mental health crisis,” laughs Sara, or “maybe he was practicing his cannonball form?”

However, all jokes aside, this incident does make one wonder how this man will be handled by law enforcement and the media. Will he be painted as a deviant who indecently exposed himself and recklessly damaged property? Or will he be painted as a victim as Bass Pro is castigated for having a hazardous water feature?

According to Stu Burguiere, the latter is far more likely.

“You know how this ends,” he sighs. “He just fell out of a tank and fell down 10 feet on concrete. This is a lawsuit; he wins.”

“When someone breaks into your home, you shoot them, and then you get charged with a crime, right? Like that's how the world works,” he explains, adding that he’s sure the man will be painted as “the victim.”

Sara agrees, adding, “This story highlights two separate problems in America: number one, the mental health crisis and number two, the epidemic of people suing for everything and getting paydays.”

These celebrities are allegedly moving out of America if Donald Trump wins 2024 election



Barbara Streisand may be a great singer and actress, but that’s the extent to which we can give her credit.

“She is claiming that she will yet again leave the United States if Donald Trump gets re-elected,” sighs Hilary Kennedy.

Streisand made the same threat back in 2016, but, of course, she never followed through. However, she apparently means it this time around.

When Stephen Colbert asked her about her feelings regarding a second Trump term, Streisand responded with, “I will move. I can’t live in this country if he became president.”

She’s not the only celebrity who’s threatening to leave the states though. The list of Trump-hating celebs who claim they’ll move should he be re-elected also includes: Whoopi Goldberg, Raven-Symoné, Miley Cyrus, Bryan Cranston, Lena Dunham, Amy Schumer, and Chelsea Handler.

“This country would be a lot better if the people who claimed that they were going to leave it after Trump's 2016 victory actually would have left, but they didn’t,” laughs Logan Hall.

“This is an 81-year-old actress,” adds Blaze Media editor in chief Matthew Peterson. “I have no idea why I should give two you-know-whats about what Barbara Streisand thinks about politics or anything else.”

Amen to that, and good riddance to the woke celebs should they actually muster the courage to leave this time.
