You are now the proud owners of an agenda that is profoundly anti-American and causes unprecedented misery for millions of people who are mostly your own voters. As the impact of Trump&#8217;s policies takes hold, inflation and consumer prices will rise, jobs will decline, and the reputation of the United States internationally will sink to new depths of disrespect. All driven by the ignorance of Trump and the cowardice of his GOP suck-ups in Congress.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=66683\" target=\"_blank\">Lawrence O\u2019Donnell Calls Out the \u2018Stupidest White House Press Corps (and President)\u2019 In History<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The response to Trump&#8217;s BUBBA bill has been an enthusiastic thumbs down. Every poll shows that it is <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/newscorpse.bsky.social\/post\/3lt7kakag5c2h\" target=\"_blank\">widely opposed by majorities of the American people<\/a><\/strong>. That would bode ill for the GOP&#8217;s electoral prospects in the upcoming elections of 2026 and 2028. Consequently, the party is taking steps to insure their maintenance of autocratic control of the government with an orchestrated outpouring of dishonest propaganda.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, that campaign of cult programming is conducted by Trump&#8217;s Ministry of Disinformation, Fox News. And they are leading off with an attack on someone who they obviously regard as a threat to Dear Leader, Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas. On Thursday morning, Fox&#8217;s Harris Faulkner completely mangled a news report about Crockett saying that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;A shocking poll shows Texas Democrat Congresswoman, Jasmine Crockett, is leading in the race for incumbent Republican John Cornyn&#8217;s Senate seat. Even bigger news though, the massive backlash over her making the Texas flood disaster all about her. Well, it&#8217;s not news, cause she does that with everything. Even talking about her hair style. That&#8217;s an odd mix of topics.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"bluesky-embed\" data-bluesky-uri=\"at:\/\/did:plc:4llrhdclvdlmmynkwsmg5tdc\/app.bsky.feed.post\/3ltmp5tpekc2n\" data-bluesky-cid=\"bafyreicx4gciz5wrnfser7kgx4kqb62mkmj3ukalogvxiq3onxjdmuqrxm\">\n<p lang=\"en\">Fox News: &#34;A shocking poll shows Texas Democrat Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett is leading in the race for incumbent Republican John Cornyn&#39;s Senate seat.&#34;<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:4llrhdclvdlmmynkwsmg5tdc?ref_src=embed\">Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com)<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:4llrhdclvdlmmynkwsmg5tdc\/post\/3ltmp5tpekc2n?ref_src=embed\">2025-07-10T15:59:34.471Z<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/embed.bsky.app\/static\/embed.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>First of all, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tampafp.com\/rep-jasmine-crocketts-surge-firebrand-dem-leads-texas-senate-poll-shakes-up-2026-race\/\" target=\"_blank\">the poll that Harris is referring to<\/a><\/strong> is not about the race between Crockett and Cornyn. It is about the race for the Democratic Party&#8217;s primary candidates, ranking Crocket with her Party colleagues Colin Allred, Beto O&#8217;Rourke, and Juaquin Castro. In that poll Crockett is indeed leading at this time. It should also be noted that this poll was conducted by National Republican Senatorial Committee. Which is not exactly a neutral source.<\/p>\n<p>Faulkner might have been closer to something newsworthy if she had brought up <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/ken-paxton-cahnces-toppling-john-cornyn-texas-poll-senate-2078028\" target=\"_blank\">the poll for the Republican Party primary<\/a><\/strong>, where Sen. Cornyn is currently nine points behind Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. They are both MAGA devotees, but Trump has declined to endorse either of them yet. He will likely endorse whoever is ahead when it gets closer to election day.<\/p>\n<p>Trump may also lean toward Paxton because they have so much in common as disgraced politicians with an aversion to ethical behavior. Paxton has a long list of legal troubles, ethical controversies, and scandals that have surrounded him during his tenure as Texas Attorney General. Including his being under indictment on three felony charges of securities fraud. He was also impeached by the Republican-controlled Texas House on charges of bribery, abuse of public trust, obstruction of justice, and retaliation against whistleblowers. Should be a slam dunk for Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Getting back to Faulkner&#8217;s crackpot critique of Crockett, Faulkner claimed that the <em>&#8220;bigger news&#8221;<\/em> was the alleged <em>&#8220;massive backlash&#8221;<\/em> over Crockett <em>&#8220;making the Texas flood disaster all about her.&#8221;<\/em> Faulkner&#8217;s source for that was a report by the wingnut <em>&#8220;Daily Caller&#8221;<\/em> whose evidence of a backlash consisted of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DLyYvZ6Op-o\/\" target=\"_blank\">Crockett saying<\/a><\/strong> in an Instagram post that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;My heart is truly heavy for all of these families. The sad part is I think that my heart is going to carry a level of weight that will continue to weigh me down as we have to continue to do our best to survive an administration that literally is against us, An administration that is doing everything, in my mind, to hurt us and not help us. And it feels like we are fending for ourselves and no one should feel that way.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>To anyone with a functioning cerebral cortex (which leaves out Faulkner and her Fox News viewers), Crockett is expressing a concern, not for herself, but for the grieving families in Texas, and for the American people more broadly. And Faulkner&#8217;s dig at Crockett for <em>&#8220;talking about her hair style&#8221;<\/em> was merely an afterthought that Crockett added to her post because people were asking about it. She wrote, <em>&#8220;Edit: My staff said y\u2019all are commenting about my?BOB! Thank you @jacorean_ for orchestrating the look.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The fact that Faulkner and Fox News would devote valuable airtime to any of this is proof of just how scared they are of Crockett. They can&#8217;t handle the notion of a brilliant Black woman with a law degree and a seat in Congress challenging the supremacy of MAGA and Trump. And by the way, if they don&#8217;t like Crockett, they aren&#8217;t gonna like the other prospective Democratic candidates for the Texas Senate either. So maybe they should just sit this one out, or stop whining.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=66602\" target=\"_blank\">Uncaring Ignorance About Jobs and Medicaid is a Sickening Requirement to Be in Trump\u2019s Cabinet<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=66602\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Goes Bonkers Ranting that Democrats Are \u2018Evil, Nasty People Who Hate Our Country\u2019<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=66570\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Cult Priestess, Karoline Leavitt, Preaches the Divine Infallibility of Dear Leader<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Be sure to visit and follow News Corpse<br \/>\non <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewsCorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/newscorpse.bsky.social\" target=\"_blank\">Bluesky<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@newscorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Threads<\/a>.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>And check out my books on Amazon:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2aOYFpM\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\">Fox Nation vs. Reality:<br \/>\nThe Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Thanks so much for your support.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Republican Party just cashed in a boatload of their political capital to get Donald Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Big Ugly Billionaire Bailout Act&#8221; (BUBBA), passed so that they can throw millions of people off of Medicaid, finance savage apprehensions of working migrants, cut taxes for corporations and the wealthy, and explode the national debt.
