Former Mexican President Vicente Fox came out in support of Democratic Texas Senate candidate Beto O’Rourke, in a Thursday evening tweet.
Fox served as the Mexican president from 2000 to 2006 and has been an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump. The former Mexican president’s comments follow O’Rourke’s appearance at a CNN town hall Thursday evening and a debate with Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.
O’Rourke is current
trailing Cruz by several points in the Senate race.
Fox has often unleashed profanity laced
pronouncements aimed at Trump, particularly on Trump’s declaration that the U.S. will make Mexico pay for his proposed wall along the southern border.
“I’m not going to pay for that fucking wall,” Fox
declared in a Fusion TV interview. In another profane tweet Fox urged Trump to “get his shit together.”

Texas Democrats asking non-citizens to vote
The Public Interest Legal Foundation has alerted the Justice Department to a gambit by Texas Democrats to get non-citizens to vote.
The state party sent out a voter registration form asking non-citizens to sign up, with the citizenship box already checked "yes."
The Public Interest Legal Foundation alerted district attorneys and the federal Justice Department to the pre-checked applications, and also included a signed affidavit from a man who said some of his relatives, who aren't citizens, received the mailing.
"This is how the Texas Democratic Party is inviting foreign influence in an election in a federal election cycle," said Logan Churchwell, spokesman for the PILF, a group that's made its mark policing states' voter registration practices.
The Texas secretary of state's office said it, too, had gotten complaints both from immigrants [sic] and from relatives of dead people who said they got mailings asking them to register.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott vowed to investigate.
"If true there will be serious consequences," he said.
This is an open invitation for voter fraud on a large scale, and the way the Democrats went about it defies belief:
The applications were pre-addressed to elections officials, which is likely what left many voters to believe they were receiving an official communication from the state.
But the return address was from the State Democratic Executive Committee, and listed an address in Austin that matches the state Democratic Party's headquarters.
The letter is emblazoned with "Urgent! Your voter registration deadline is October 9." It continues: "Your voter registration application is inside. Complete, sign and return it today!"
On the application, boxes affirming the applicant is both 18 and a U.S. citizen are already checked with an "X" in the Yes field.
The mailing also urges those who are unsure if they're registered to "Mail it in."
Dead people were also being asked to vote.
Sam Taylor, spokesman for Texas's secretary of state, said they heard from people whose relatives were receiving mail despite having passed away 10 years ago or longer. One woman said her child, who'd been dead 19 years, got a mailing asking to register.
"It looks like a case of really bad information they are using to send out these mailers," Mr. Taylor said.
Mr. Taylor is being very charitable. I doubt very much whether it's "bad information" being used by Democrats.
How many other state Democratic Parties send out similar requests to non-citizens and haven't been caught? Are we to believe that one party in one state came up with this idea all on its own? Perhaps, but not likely.
Many liberals believe that anyone in the United States – citizen or non-citizen – should be able to vote. If they want to make that argument and change the law to make it happen, they are more than welcome to try. Of course, if they run on that issue, they will get slaughtered at the polls. So instead of going to the American people and working to change the law, they try an underhanded dirty trick to achieve the same goal.
DNC: 'Top Sekret Plan for
Midterms'
I was buying a gallon of kombucha tea at Whole Foods for a block
party by my neighbors who fancy themselves upscale members of the
"resistance." I had hoped that this disgusting concoction
would clear their heads and digestive tracts so they'd stop pestering me to
vote for the Democrats. Stuck at the bottom of the grocery cart was
a memo a prior shopper had accidentally left behind.
The name of the author was lost under a splotch of what
appeared to be gluten-free, fat-free, sugarless soy yogurt, but I could make
out most of it. Forewarned is forearmed, so I'm sharing it.
A. Our Agenda
3. Open Borders and Abolish
ICE (motto, our land is your land) .
8. More welfare for everyone, including free
health care . It will cost trillions , but we all know we can keep raising taxes as high as we
need to (except on the countless billions in tax-exempt NGOs who fund what
we want them to fund). And anyway, math is so hard that only
conservatives can figure out this is unworkable, and when they do, we just
attack them as "heartless."
We'll just keep adding to the free pile: universal housing, free
college tuition, universal basic income. (And with open borders, the
"universal" part is really "universal.") We can
continue to count on at least one third of the voters thinking "free"
means someone else will pay for it.
B. How do we get there to carry out our
agenda?
2. Make sure mandatory college event fees are paid out only to
left-wing speakers, and if, by chance, any group funds a conservative on campus
with its own funds, demand that the college rescind the
invitation. If it fails to, we start a riot and beat up anyone who dares attend. Free speech
is overrated unless it's ours. We own academia, and let's keep it
that way.
C. Midterm Action Plan
1. We began strong by a highly publicized hearing on Brett
Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court in which we showed America
that no charge is too insubstantial to keep us from using it. (It's
true that "Believe All Women" doesn't apply to Bill Clinton or Keith
Ellison and certainly not to the late Ted Kennedy or Chris Dodd, to name just a
few. But it should be good enough to keep those soccer moms in our
camp.) Pictures of people mobbing the Senate and screaming, pounding
on the doors of the Supreme Court, and linking up again with
sharia-supporter Linda Sarsour, bemoaning the sad new fate which will
befall women now that Kavanaugh has been confirmed, should really nail our
female support, especially since the press so rarely lets women know what she
stands for. It shows how distraught we really are and why they
should be, too, at the confirmation of a man who somebody thinks did something
to her thirty-some years ago, which none of her claimed witnesses substantiate
2. Then there's our plan to tag Trump with the failure to deal
firmly enough with the Saudis. He should geld the Saudi effort to
check Iran, cause a spike in oil to $300 a barrel, and throw out a
$150-billion arms deal with Saudi Arabia because a fake journalist who was
really a Muslim Brotherhood propagandist was killed on Saudi territory in
Turkey. (Ignore the mistreatment by Turkey's Erdoğan, who has placed
300 journalists in prison, or Iran's or China's treatment of any
dissenters). I know that our press pals will stay mum on this, just
as they ignored Obama's silence when journalists were slaughtered
in Charlie Hedbo's offices in
France or American journalist James Foley was beheaded. Right now
they are hoping that reformist Crown Prince Mohammed bin
Salman will be toppled along with Trump, ignoring the fact that the king
has fired almost the whole leadership of its foreign intelligence
service and put the crown prince in charge of restructuring the
intelligence agency. (Let's keep that development from public
notice.)
Everything in this war is new, including the weapons that entered
Gaza; how did they enter despite the siege? Thousands of rockets
entered a small country that is besieged from the land, sea and
air. This fact alone is a miracle[.] ...
The distinguished combat performance of its men and the huge
network of tunnels that extends for miles under Gaza and the borders with
Israel and Egypt were used brilliantly to inflict unprecedented losses on the
enemy; they will be used and reused whenever the enemy invades. All
of this proves that the movement wasted no time while ruling in Gaza.
This background is important for Arab intellectuals and writers
who, incomprehensibly, have been attacking the notion of resistance in the
ongoing Israeli war against the Palestinians in Gaza. This strange
phenomenon warrants analysis. Regrettably, the number of such
intellectuals here in Saudi Arabia is higher than average. If such a
trend continues it will destroy the kingdom's honourable claim to support and
defend the Palestinian cause since the time of its founder, King Abd Al-Aziz
Al-Saud[.]
Make certain as well that they and New Yorkers are unaware of
how he
celebrated 9/11 , blaming it on
U.S. support for Israel.
D. Latinos
We are embarrassed to learn that we cannot count on the Latino
vote as we thought we could. (There was even a slight snag this week
when Pelosi, along with Castro-lover Democratic congresswoman Barbara Lee,
went to campaign
for Donna Shalala in Miami's Little
Havana, where they received a rude reception.)
Luckily, people like George Soros came up with a master plan – pay
thousands of Hondurans to storm our border, marching through Guatemala and
México. Surely, the picture of those downtrodden (almost entirely
young men) will tug at their heartstrings and make Americans rush to Nancy Pelosi's
view that we should never
build that wall and that
we should just abolish ICE and every effort to close
our borders .
Unfortunately, Trump's message to Guatemala and Mexico that they'd
better not let this happen seems to be paying off, but if they get through,
think of how appealing that will be for still uncommitted voters to hop on the
no-borders-no-ICE train with us.
I was about to toss this in the Whole Foods recycling bin but
decided instead to make it an attachment to my letter to Hillary
Clinton. She says she's considering running again, and I'm
encouraging her to just do it. Keep this agenda alive,
girl. We're counting on you, our own political version of Miss
Havisham.
Democrats Advised Not to Speak About Unpopular Open Borders
Policies: ‘It Is Very Difficult to Win on Immigration’
3:13
Democrats
running for re-election in the 2018 midterms are being advised to not speak
about the issue of immigration as consultants admit the zero-enforcement, open
borders positions of the Democrat Party are unpopular with swing voters.
In
a memo obtained by the New
York Times admitted to the country every
year.
“Sanctuary attacks pack a punch,” says a four-page memorandum , prepared
by the liberal Center for American Progress and the centrist think tank Third
Way, that has been shared at about a dozen briefings for Democrats in recent
weeks. The New York Times obtained a copy of the memo, whose findings are based
on interviews and surveys conducted over the summer. [Emphasis added]
…
Democrats,
the strategists who prepared the memo advised, could neutralize the attacks if
they responded head-on. But they
should spend “as little time as possible” talking about immigration itself
…
“It is very difficult to win on
immigration with vulnerable voters in the states Trump carried in 2016,” the
strategy memo said, arguing that “even the most draconian of Republican
policies,” such as family separation and
threats to deport the Dreamers — undocumented immigrants who were brought to
the United States as children — failed to sway most of them. [Emphasis added]
As Breitbart News exclusively reported , House
Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has given the GOP ammunition to run on
the issue of immigration for the midterm elections, introducing legislation
that fully funds President Trump’s proposed border wall on the U.S.-Mexico
border.
Meanwhile, Democrats have geared up
for the 2018 midterm elections by running on a platform that would abolish
the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency, which would end all
immigration enforcement across the United States. Three in four swing voters oppose the
Democrats’ “abolish ICE” initiative.
Despite
Republican efforts to run on the issue of uninfluential tax
reform, Trump’s immigration reduction plan has sweeping support among not only
Republican voters, but swing voters and black Americans.
In
an April Harvard/Harris Poll, nearly 2-out-3 supported reducing legal
immigration levels to the U.S. In May, 52 percent of swing voters opposed allowing big businesses
to import more foreign workers to compete against their fellow citizens for
coveted blue-collar and white-collar jobs.
Most
specifically, 61 percent of swing voters in battleground districts who said
A
similar CBS/YouGov poll in June found that 55 percent of swing voters in
battleground districts believed the border wall is a
“good idea that can probably be completed” or a “good idea that should be
tried, even if it can’t be completed,” as Trump wants.
