Governor Greg Abbott has confirmed that Texas House Democrats who remain absent and refuse to vote on the newly proposed GOP-backed congressional map could be prosecuted for second‑degree felony bribery estimates, or see their seats forcibly vacated and special elections called. Appearing with Dana Perino, Abbott did not mince words. He confirmed that Democrats who accepted or offered money to skip out on their legislative duties could be charged with bribery, a second-degree felony in the state of Texas. Abbott targets fundraising by or for absconding lawmakers—especially efforts to dodge $500/day fines for quorum-breaking—as a potential act of bribery. Breitbart reported: Abbott further warned that Texas Democrats may have committed felonies in addition to forfeiting their offices. “I will use my full extradition authority to demand the return to Texas of any potential out-of-state felons.” Abbott’s letter concluded. It is now being revealed that the Democrats boarded a $40 million jet. According to Florida’s Voice Assistant News Director Eric Daugherty, the Texas Democrats reportedly fled the state aboard a $40 million Embraer ERJ-170 jet, which carries a staggering operating cost of $15,000 per hour. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/08/texas-gov-greg-abbott-confirms-awol-democrats-could/ ...President Donald Trump is returning the Presidential Fitness Test to the public school system — and replacing Obama’s FitnessGram. While the Presidential Fitness Test was competition-based, in Obama’s FitnessGram, everyone was a winner. “I’m pleased to announce that we’re officially restoring the Presidential Fitness Test and the Presidential Fitness Award. And it’s going to be a very big thing. From the late 1950s until 2013, graduate scholars all across our country competed against each other in the Presidential Fitness Test,” Trump said. “And it was a big deal. This was a wonderful tradition, and we’re bringing it back,” he added. BlazeTV contributor Matthew Marsden tells BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales on “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered," ...“Losing teaches you more than winning does, right? It teaches you to get back up, and that is really essential, I think, for Americans, especially, and ever since we’ve had this, like, participation trophy,” he explains. “What it’s done is create an entire generation of entitled people that don’t understand why they are not getting what they want, because they just got what they want with no merit.” While in Scotland, Trump had succeeded in negotiating the biggest trade deal in world history between the United States and the European Union while also negotiating an immediate unconditional ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia. Trump had previously before this interview also negotiated an end to the decades-long war between Rwanda and Congo—both nations have joined many others in calling for Trump to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Cambodia has also nominated Trump for the prize, and Trump’s role in stopping other wars, such as between Israel and Iran, Pakistan and India, Serbia and Kosovo, and Egypt and Ethiopia as well as his work on the Abraham Accords in the first term has led to many questioning why he has not yet won a Nobel Peace Prize. Compared with former President Barack Obama, who was bestowed the award for essentially nothing, Trump has done so much more. Asked why he thinks they have snubbed him on the prize, Trump did not even address that but argued he fights for peace because he cares about saving lives. Reports are emerging now that he is about to succeed in negotiating a deal between Armenia and Azerbaijan which may be rolled out Friday at the White House. “I love doing this because I save lives,” Trump told Breitbart News. “I don’t know too much about the Congo or Rwanda, I do know they’ve been in a 30-year war where more than 7 maybe even 8 million people have been killed. Many people are being killed on a daily basis. I was able to get them—they were great people. They came to the White House back and forth and we ended the war. It’s a great feeling. So we just did it again with today’s announcement. Then we have India-Pakistan, that could have been a nuclear war, and Serbia, Kosovo, Egypt—as you know, their next-door neighbor built a little dam that keeps the water away from the Nile. That’s a tough situation but we’re involved in that, keeping that down to a minor roar. I do that, and—I do it—to a certain extent, there’s respect and I know many of these leaders… I use trade to do it. If they want to fight a war, that helped with India and Pakistan. They want to trade with us and in the meantime they’re killing each other. That could have been nuclear. We did it there, and we did the Abraham Accords. The Abraham Accords were a big deal. But we’ve done it with a lot. I don’t know, people say lots of things about wars, and there’s never been anybody that settles more wars. I’ve settled six wars in six months. Think about it. These are major wars, these are wars where thousands of people are going to be absolutely killed. It’s terrible.” Bill Clinton gave America a lot of things: an affair with a young intern, an “assault weapons” ban that had a negligible impact on crime, and gun-free military bases that force troops to run for their lives when a bad guy pulls a gun. According to a Washington Times editorial, written days after a Nov. 5, 2009 attack on soldiers at Fort Hood, one of Clinton’s “first acts upon taking office… was to disarm U.S. soldiers on military bases.” Clinton’s actions birthed Army regulations “forbidding military personnel from carrying their personal firearms and making it almost impossible for commanders to issue firearms to soldiers in the U.S. for personal protection.” Crime Prevention Research Center president John Lott Jr. addressed this on X following Wednesday’s Fort Stewart attack: In 2015, Trump told Ammoland: “President Clinton never should have passed a ban on soldiers being able to protect themselves on bases. America’s Armed Forces will be armed.” Perhaps the good that will come out of this week’s Fort Stewart attack is a renewed focus on making sure our military personnel can be armed on stateside bases for self-defense. President Donald Trump said Thursday he has instructed his administration to start work on a new census that excludes illegal migrants from the count. “The U.S. Census Bureau collects data from all foreign born who participate in its censuses and surveys, regardless of legal status. Thus, unauthorized migrants are implicitly included in the Census Bureau estimates of the total foreign-born population,” its website says, per a report in USA Today. As recently as 2020 there was an estimated 11 to 22 million illegal aliens living in the U.S. The Census that year estimated that at current legal and illegal immigration levels, by 2060, about one-in-six residents will have been born outside the country. The next U.S. Census will be conducted in 2030.

Hawkins: Maybe Fort Stewart Attack Will Result in Rethinking Gun-Free Military Base Regulations:
I find it appalling that men and women trained in the use of firearms that far exceed the firepower capabilities of civilian guns are prohibited from carrying a 9mm pistol on their hip for personal protection while on duty at a stateside base. As I wrote following the December 6, 2019, attack on Naval Air Station Pensacola, “gun-free policies on military installations make U.S. troops sitting ducks.”
