The video shared to X, formerly Twitter, on Friday showed construction on Texas' border wall near Maverick County, about 130 miles southwest of San Antonio."The Texas...
Texas has deployed thousands of cameras to the U.S. southern border as Governor Greg Abbott continues to find new ways to curb migration into his state.The cameras, according to a report from NewsNation's Ali Bradley, are a part of Abbott's Operation Lone Star, which was launched in 2021. At least 7,600 cameras have been sent to the border, and around 1,000 have been attached to the wall built by Abbott's administration between the U.S. and Mexico.

On Thursday, purportedly on the advice of the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles, Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott formally pardoned Daniel Perry for his 2020 murder of Garrett Foster at a Black Lives Matter protest in Austin. I say “purportedly” because Abbott never waited for the board before passing judgment in the case; he […]
Texas Governor Greg Abbott is getting slammed after granting a full pardon to the U.S. Army sergeant who shot and killed a protester during a Black Lives Matter rally in 2020, with a former Obama administration official calling the move "worse than [Kyle] Rittenhouse."The sergeant, Daniel Perry, was found guilty of murder in April 2023 and sentenced to 25 years in prison.

To the editor: Honoring Father Greg Boyle, who runs the L.A. gang intervention program Homeboy Industries, with the Presidential Medal of Freedom was long overdue.

Columbia University canceled graduation ceremonies thanks to the anti-Israel encampments that keep popping up like post-spring break UTIs. Now, protesters won't get to throw their keffiyeh's in the air and make the whole campus look like a Pizza Hut tablecloth. This after students demanded the school cancel finals and hand out passing grades so they wouldn't be traumatized by the damage they themselves inflicted. Some revolutionaries. That's like Che Guevara handing you the bill to have his...
When Father Greg Boyle of Homeboy Industries was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Biden on May 3, I thought about dropping by to talk to him, but then I hesitated. He’s not one to take bows, and I knew he’d credit everyone but himself. So it would be tough to come up with a new angle, even with the city of Los Angeles proclaiming in a Friday morning City Hall tribute that May 19 will be Father Greg Boyle day in honor of the man who started the world’s largest gang...
Texas Governor Greg Abbott praised the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) on Monday after its board of trustees voted to redirect $2.3 million in diversity spending toward campus safety."This is the way," Abbott—a Republican who during the summer signed a bill that banned diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives from public universities in his state—wrote in a post to X, formerly Twitter.UNC's decision, which will go into effect July 1, comes as pro-Palestinian rallies...
