  • Worst of the Worst: ICE Targets Convicted Child Predators in Houston Sweep
    Jul 29 2025

    1. ICE Arrests in Houston

    • U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested 214 illegal aliens in the Houston, Texas area over a six-month period.
    • All individuals were charged or convicted of sex offenses involving minors.
    • This number exceeds the total arrests for similar offenses in the entire previous fiscal year (211 arrests).
    • The arrests are attributed to a multi-agency targeting initiative launched under the Trump administration, aimed at removing “the worst of the worst” criminal aliens.

    Notable Arrests Highlighted

    • Jesus Coutirez (67, Mexico): Convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a child; deported.
    • George Zebra (48, Mexico): Convicted of multiple child sex offenses; deported.
    • Manuel Antonio Castro (37, El Salvador): Convicted of sexual assault of a minor; in custody pending deportation.
    • Jose Mesa (40, Mexico): Convicted of theft and sexual assault of a child; deported.
    • Sergio Rolando (45, Mexico): Convicted of DWI and aggravated sexual assault of a child; deported.

    Agencies Involved

    • ICE collaborated with multiple federal and local agencies including:
      • FBI
      • ATF
      • DEA
      • U.S. Customs and Border Protection
      • U.S. Marshals
      • Diplomatic Security Services

    2. Criticism of Government Programs

    The latter part of the document shifts to a political critique of past Democratic administrations, particularly:

    • The “Obama phone” program (Lifeline), which provided subsidized phones to low-income individuals.
    • Allegations of fraud and abuse in the program, including a case where a Florida CEO was sentenced to prison and fined $128 million for defrauding the government.
    • The piece connects this to broader claims of government waste and corruption, especially under President Obama.

  • Senator Paul Targets Jill Biden & Fauci on Pardons & Who was Running the WH
    Jul 28 2025

    1. Congressional Probe into Autopen Pardons

    This section discusses a developing controversy involving:

    • Senator Rand Paul raising concerns about the use of an autopen—a mechanical device used to sign documents—for issuing presidential pardons during the final months of President Joe Biden’s administration.
    • Allegations that Anthony Fauci and Jill Biden (former First Lady) may be implicated in the probe, with questions about whether President Biden was mentally aware of the pardons issued.
    • Claims that hundreds of pardons were signed mechanically, possibly without Biden’s direct knowledge.
    • Testimonies suggest that staffers, including those connected to the First Lady, were involved in the process, and many invoked the Fifth Amendment.
    • Hunter Biden’s pardon was reportedly signed by Biden himself, unlike others.
    • Senator Paul suggests indicting Fauci to test the validity of his pardon in court.

    The central issue is whether autopen-signed pardons are legally valid if the President was unaware of them.

    2. Historic Trade Deal Between the U.S. and European Union

    This part highlights a major international agreement announced by President Donald Trump:

    • The European Union agreed to:
      • Purchase $750 billion in U.S. energy.
      • Invest an additional $600 billion in the U.S. economy.
      • Open up all member countries to zero-tariff trade with the U.S.
      • Buy hundreds of billions in U.S. military equipment.
    • A 15% baseline tariff will be applied to European imports, including automobiles.
    • Trump emphasized the deal as a win for American workers, manufacturers, and farmers, framing it as the “biggest deal ever made.”

  • Dems' Poll Numbers PLUMMET, plus How to Save $1TRILL in Fed Spending & Why We Need to Fix the Tax Laws to Treat Poker Pros Fairly
    Jul 28 2025

    🗳️ Democrats' Poll Numbers Plummeting

    • A recent Wall Street Journal poll shows the Democratic Party's approval rating at its lowest in 35 years.
    • Only 33% of voters view the party favorably, while 63% view it unfavorably.
    • Cruz attributes this to the party being overtaken by extreme left-wing voices and unpopular stances on issues like:
      • Open borders
      • Defunding the police
      • Support for controversial protests
      • Gender and youth medical policies
    • He warns Republicans not to become complacent despite favorable polling.

    💰 Proposal to Save $1 Trillion in Federal Spending

    • Cruz proposes ending the Federal Reserve’s practice of paying interest on bank reserves.
    • This policy, introduced in 2008, cost taxpayers $168 billion in 2024 alone, with nearly half going to foreign banks.
    • Cruz argues that:
      • The Fed operated for nearly a century without paying interest on reserves.
      • Ending this would encourage banks to lend more and support economic growth.
      • It could also help lower interest rates and reduce the deficit.

    ♠️ Fixing Tax Laws for Professional Poker Players

    • A provision in the “One Big Beautiful Bill” changed how gambling losses are deducted.
    • Previously, players could deduct 100% of losses from winnings; now only 90% is deductible.
    • This results in some players being taxed on income they didn’t actually earn.
    • Cruz, along with bipartisan support, is pushing legislation to reverse this change, arguing it's unfair and could drive poker professionals out of the U.S.
