With 91% of the expected vote tallied, Talarico, 36, had 52.9% compared to 45.7% for Crockett, 44, avoiding a bruising runoff campaign that would have lasted close to another three months.
“We’re about to take back Texas,” proclaimed Talarico, who will face the winner of the May 26 Republican runoff between incumbent Sen. John Cornyn and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
“We are not just trying to win an election,” Talarico told supporters in Austin before the race was called. “We are trying to fundamentally change our politics. And it’s working.”
Texas voters have not elected a Democrat to the Senate since Lloyd Bentsen in 1988.
Dan Crenshaw defeated by Cruz-backed state lawmaker in Texas GOP primary, boosting MAGA clout –
My relationship with Trump is good,’ Crenshaw told the Houston Chronicle ahead of Tuesday’s primary
Steve Toth, Cruzed to win, a state representative and businessman, following years of turmoil between Crenshaw and the MAGA faction of the Republican Party that questioned Crenshaw’s loyalty to Trump.
The 2nd Congressional District primary that ended Tuesday with Toth beating out Crenshaw drew a sharp line within the Republican Party. Crenshaw was not formally endorsed by President Donald Trump or Texas Gov. Greg Abbott.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, endorsed Toth after he reportedly got into a tiff with Crenshaw at the airport over whether the senator was working against the representative’s re-election.
They thought the valiant soldiers of the U.S. and Israel would cave by now, but this has not happened. Decimation to Iran’s military, their leadership, their arsenal and their mindset is broken, this has occured in warpspeed. Only days, not weeks it will be over.
Iran has turned the other Arab States against them. This is Shite against Sunni. Two waring enemies from fifteen hundred years ago. Iran has turned into a pirrah state.
Israel’s defense minister warned Wednesday that whoever is chosen to replace slain Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei will be considered “a target for elimination” if they continue policies threatening Israel, the United States and regional allies.
The statement comes as Iran’s Assembly of Experts moves to select a successor following Khamenei’s death in an Israeli strike at the outset of the war. Israeli forces have already targeted locations tied to Iran’s clerical leadership structure, signaling the campaign is aimed not only at degrading military capabilities but also at preventing the reconstitution of regime leadership.
The warning marks a dramatic escalation in rhetoric, underscoring Israel’s position that any future Iranian leader who maintains Tehran’s hostile posture could face direct military action. Iranian officials have not publicly responded to the threat.
Allah better replenish those 72 Virgins. Many more martyrs will be arriving on that magic carpet in the days ahead.
After five weeks the FBI has run out of LEADS. We have a suggestion. The FBI lead needs to bring in 100 agents and knock on the door of every house within a three mile radius. By interviewing each person living there, they will be able to determine or maybe get feedback if there was the possibility of a Nervous Nellie.
So far the investigation has gone nowhere. A new theory is necessary. We believe that the Perp lives in the neighborhood. Why? Because he knew her, knew her house, knew when the apt time would be to abduct her.
Driving up to her house with a van in the dead of night, getting the drop on her and then with an accomplice taking her to a nearby abode. They didn’t want to raise suspicion by being pulled over by the Police, that is why we believe this was a neighborhood crime.
The United States and Israel have offered the opportunity for the Iranians to Rise Up and take back their future. Now is the time for action. In all military conflicts where a dictator is disposed of, a new leader emerges from the rubble This is the case in all calamities, be it a communist puch or a freedom fighter.
There are still remenants of the IRGC who are defiant, but in all revolutions casualties exist. The blood thirsty murders cannot get away with the killing of 30,000, plus how many more have they murdered in secret.
Their firepower is on the last legs. Our intelligence indicates the murderous regime is on its last legs. Bombing other Muslim countries, suchs as UAE and Baharain, Kuwait, not to mention Saudi Arabia is an indication that they are on their last legs. Trump has given them an off ramp if they give up now. Will They take the opportunity or opt to join Kahamenei?
Tel Aviv analyst shelters from 30 missile sirens in 48 hours, says Iran won’t ‘recover’
Shrapnel damaged at least 40 buildings while Iran forms provisional leadership after Khamenei’s death
The past 48 hours in Tel Aviv have been unlike anything seen before, a leading security analyst has said, as sirens blared amid missile threats following Operation Epic Fury and U.S.-Israeli strikes in Iran.
“We are facing a biblical event — nothing less,” Kobi Michael, a senior researcher at the Institute for National Security Studies and the Misgav Institute, told Fox News Digital speaking from his shelter in the city.
Like many Israelis, Michael said he had spent hours in reinforced rooms during the ongoing barrage, adding that he was “very experienced in this.”
“But this all requires time and determination, and I do hope that Trump will also have them both,” he said, speaking shortly after the president released a video message stating that the military operation would continue “until all of our objectives are achieved.”

“Trump is the only one who can make the change — and that change will impact the entire region and the international order for years to come,” Michael added.
As of Sunday, Tel Aviv remained under a state of emergency following Iranian missile attacks that caused casualties and widespread damage.
According to The Associated Press, Iranian missile and drone strikes have killed approximately 11 Israeli civilians and wounded dozens more in retaliation for the U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran.
Shrapnel from missile impacts damaged at least 40 buildings in Tel Aviv, and authorities reported at least one death in the area from falling debris.
The Philippine Embassy in Israel confirmed the death of a Filipino national after a missile strike hit Tel Aviv on Saturday.

“We enter our shelter once the siren is heard and stay there until the Home Front Command announces that we can leave,” Michael said.
“Usually, it is about 20 to 30 minutes — unless there are further sirens during our stay. Since yesterday morning, it has happened around 30 times.”
Israel’s President Isaac Herzog also visited an impact site in Tel Aviv on Sunday, delivering a message of resilience.
“The people of Israel and the people of Iran can live in peace. The region can live in peace. But what undermines peace time and again is terror instigated by this Iranian regime,” Herzog said.
“Pezeshkian will face very troubling challenges due to their heavy losses, severe disruptions to control and command systems, and the massive bombing and attacks across Iran, including Tehran,” he said.
“Even if this regime doesn’t collapse, it will never be able to reconstitute itself, recover or return to its previous position,” Michael added.
MAHA PUSHBACK: Thomas Massie And RFK Jr. Call Out President Trump’s Recent Executive Order On Glyphosate
Feb 27, 2026
Commenting on President Trump’s disastrous recent executive order protecting Bayer’s highly carcinogenic glyphosate poisons that are profoundly contaminating most of America’s crops, United States Secretary of Health and Human Services RFK Jr. stated the following:
Pesticides are poison. They’re designed to kill all life.
It’s not a good thing to have in your food.
I’ve spent 40 years fighting pesticides. We won three cases in a row and then got an $11 billion settlement with Monsanto.
All chemical pesticides, just like all GMO crops, just like all processed foods, just like all vaccines, should be banned forever.
And here are the major players behind these exceedingly toxic and highly addictive foods that Americans have been deliberately sickened with:
Mr. Nobody@MmisterNobody
Different logos. Same parent companies. Different packaging. Same power behind the scenes. The food industry may look competitive, but it’s strategically consolidated.

And exactly how was a deadly chemical allowed to pollute the majority of America’s food supply? Why, with the familiar “$afe and Effective” fraud, that’s how:
This is crazy…
In 2000, there was a study done famously called the “Williams Study” — which 99.9% of all studies Cite regarding the “Safety” of Glyphosate
Just last month, that study was retracted because it was found that Monsanto executives wrote it… wow
Unbelievable…
Iowa Candidate Zach Lahn says Big Agricultural Giants, including Chinese-Owned Syngenta, are causing the Skyrocketing Cancer Rates and Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in the United States
• Syngenta is a wholly owned state enterprise of the Chinese Government — it is a 100% privately held company owned by Sinochem Holdings (also known as Sinochem Group), a massive Chinese state-owned enterprise (SOE).
• They control roughly 85% of all farm seeds and chemicals in Iowa (down from hundreds of companies decades ago), with Syngenta’s products used on roughly 5 million acres statewide.
• Paraquat (originally formulated by Syngenta) is one of the most toxic pesticides on planet earth, and it is still approved by the EPA and used on ~300,000 acres in Iowa
• Exposure to Paraquat doubles the risk of Parkinson and is so potent it is used in laboratories to deliberately induce Parkinson’s in animals.
– Iowa now has “the fastest rate of new cancer of anywhere in the history of human civilization,” with the top 10 highest-cancer counties all being rural ag-heavy areas
Just like BigPharma always knew full well that they were murdering their customers, so too does BigAgra.
And here is the bombshell revelation that further exposes the totally corrupt and compromised BigPharma-owned AG Pam Bondi:
Rep Thomas Massie says the decision to focus on manufacturing more pesticides in America is linked to Attorney General Pam Bondi
“…I rise today to let the American people know that this government is under siege. All three branches of this government is under siege by lobbyists and lawyers from a German company named Bayer.”
“The President’s Attorney General worked for one of the biggest lobbying firms that’s received hundreds of thousands, millions of dollars from Bayer — The Attorney General has opined favorably for this German company in front of the Supreme Court about getting rid of any liability that they should have for any damages — Maybe that’s why we’ve seen an executive order that says that the production of this chemical from this German company is a, is a national defense priority.”
Let us hope against hope that between U.S. Representative Thomas Massie and RFK Jr. that somehow President Trump reconsiders, and reverses his executive order on this monstrosity of a chemical.
Of course, the Modified mRNA slow kill bioweapon “vaccines” have still not been pulled from the market either, so MAGA continues to subvert MAHA until further notice.
President Donald Trump vowed Sunday to “avenge” the deaths of three U.S. service members killed in action as the conflict involving Iran deepens across the Middle East.
“As one nation, we grieve for the true American patriots who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation,” Trump said in a video statement posted on Truth Social.
“Even as we continue the righteous mission for which they gave their lives, we pray for the full recovery of the wounded and send our immense love and eternal gratitude to the families of the fallen.”

The president struck a somber note, warning that “sadly, there will likely be more before it ends.”
“America will avenge their deaths and deliver the most punishing blow to the terrorists who have waged war,” Trump said. “Our resolve and likewise that of Israel has never been stronger.”
Trump’s remarks, his first public statement since the U.S.-Israel strikes that led to the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and several senior Iranian officials, signaled a potentially prolonged confrontation.
“This wretched and vile man had the blood of hundreds and even thousands of Americans on his hands and was responsible for the slaughter of countless thousands of innocent people all across many countries,” Trump said.

He said U.S. forces had struck “hundreds of targets” inside Iran, including key Revolutionary Guard facilities, air defense systems and naval assets. Trump said the U.S. “knocked out nine Iranian ships “in a matter of literally minutes.” Military operations, he added, would continue “until all of our objectives are achieved.”
He went on to issue a direct warning to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard and military leadership, urging them to surrender in exchange for immunity or face “certain death.”
Ahead of the strikes, the U.S. military amassed what Trump previously called an “armada” in Iran’s backyard. Mapped out across the Persian Gulf and beyond, the deployment tells its own story, one of calculated pressure backed by credible capability.
At the center of the U.S. presence are two aircraft carrier strike groups — the USS Abraham Lincoln and USS Gerald R. Ford — each supported by guided-missile destroyers and cruisers and capable of sustained air and missile operations.
More than a dozen additional U.S. warships are also operating in the region in support roles, according to defense officials.

Meanwhile, Tehran has vowed retaliation for the strikes.
What will the Iranian government look like after this military conflict? This question is being asked across the media. And, we are told, it could be a disaster, depending on who or what replaces the current Islamic dictatorship.
Well, this is interesting.
So, I will answer this apparently complicated question: We have no idea what it will look like. In fact, since we have no desire to be involved in any kind of postwar “democracy project,” how can we know?
We have declared to the Iranian people that once most hostilities have ended, it is up to them to overthrow the government. And, logically, it will be up to them to determine what replaces it — especially if we have no intention of getting involved in a postwar project.
Of course, hostility to “democracy projects” stems largely from our experience in Iraq, where the word “democracy” was used constantly as justification for fighting that war. It did not turn out well, and we suffered significant casualties.
The question before us is not what a postwar Iran will look like, but whether it is in our best interest, for a variety of reasons, to get involved in shaping that outcome — and, if so, to what extent and in what way.
But every case is unique. Not all conflicts are Iraq. Post-World War II, we played a significant role in establishing governments in Japan and Western Europe. We followed with the Marshall Plan in Europe, and that effort proved successful.
But if one is going to ask about postwar Iran — if we have no intention of playing a role in establishing a new government, even though noninvolvement carries consequences — then the question is either unserious or unknowable. Most of those asking it do so out of concern about what might happen.
The more important question, it seems to me, is whether we will play any role at all in postwar Iran, especially if the nature of the new government is a matter of serious consequence. It clearly is. I am not arguing for a “democracy project,” but I am suggesting that a hands-off approach can be problematic, if not disastrous.
Thus, the question before us is not what a postwar Iran will look like, but whether it is in our best interest, for a variety of reasons, to get involved in shaping that outcome — and, if so, to what extent and in what way.
The truth is that if we are completely hands-off, we risk a rerun of the regime we have destroyed. There will undoubtedly be remnants of the existing regime, or even a sizeable population hellbent on sabotaging the establishment of a democratic or nonauthoritarian government. If they are not disarmed, they may well succeed in a power struggle for control.
Moreover, let us not pretend that China, Russia or Turkey — and perhaps others — will not see our absence as an opportunity to influence or impose their will on Iran. In short, to do nothing would be a potentially dangerous and grave mistake.
I am concerned that not enough thought has been given to this, particularly if our position is to leave the matter entirely to others. This is not to say that we should commit troops to impose democracy on the country. But there are other options well short of that.
Again, Iran is not Iraq. The Persian people share many, if not most, of our Western values. Persian culture has been among the most advanced of any civilization. Its roots are ancient, and its history is marked by accomplishments in education, science and the arts.
Of course, the immediate matter at hand is the total defeat of the regime that hijacked the Iranian government, enslaved its people and has been an existential threat to our country and the world for nearly half a century. But we can walk and chew gum at the same time. The nature of a postwar Iranian government is a crucial issue for both the Iranian people and our country, lest the battle we are fighting today be for naught.
The stakes were stratspheric for the High Roller. He believed in Allah, but the annointed one was holding the proverbial dead man’s hand. Typically, when a novice, who BTW did not learn his lesson months ago, now finds himself in a high stakes game with the House. Didn’t he know that you can’t beat the house; a gamble he took and lost large. Now, travel plans await as he takes a magic carpet to the almighty Allah who promised him 72 Virgins.
The High Roller was the loser, his game of Russian Roulette came to an abrupt end, similar to the wheel chair bound high priest Yassan.

Time now for the Sweeper Crew to arrive.
Thank you Mr. President for defending thr United States of America against all threats both domestic and foreign.
n the dark of the night, 10 minutes before President Donald Trump even announced that the U.S. and Israel had attacked Iran, a network of U.S. nonprofits aligned with China, Russia and Tehran activated foot soldiers to hit America’s streets.
Groups funded by Neville Roy Singham, a Shanghai-based, American-born tech tycoon, which regularly parrot messaging from America’s adversaries, swung into action even as the initial bombs were dropping. The nearly instantaneous response was the latest salvo in an information war on the U.S., with foot soldiers called upon to converge in protests and echo anti-U.S. talking points.
At 2:34 a.m. ET, the ANSWER Coalition, a nonprofit project whose leaders describe themselves as Marxist and communist, announced, “EMERGENCY NATIONWIDE DAY OF ACTION TODAY, SAT. FEB 28 — STOP THE WAR WITH IRAN!”

It announced its network of groups that have long supported the regime in Iran, including the National Iranian American Council, 50501, American Muslims for Palestine, the People’s Forum, Palestinian Youth Movement and CodePink. The organizations haven’t responded to requests for comment. Singham did not respond to a request for comment.
The network set the language for its anti-U.S. messaging, calling the war an “unprovoked, illegal bombing of Iran.” It even set up a website domain for the coordinated actions at http://ANSWERCoalition.org.
Ten minutes later, at 2:44 a.m., Trump posted a video, confirming the attack on Iran, telling the world, “A short time ago, the United States military began major combat operations in Iran.
Eight minutes later, at 2:52 a.m., the People’s Forum, a New York-based activist hub funded by Singham as an “incubator” for socialist groups, issued an “emergency” call to action for a protest in Times Square.
“🚨 EMERGENCY DAY OF ACTION IN NYC TO STOP THE WAR WITH IRAN: TODAY, 2/28 at 2PM in Times Square,” the People’s Forum announced.
The ANSWER Coalition runs operations out of the People’s Forum headquarters in midtown Manhattan. The People’s Forum statement mirrored the messaging in a new video released overnight before the attacks by the Chinese Communist Party, framing the U.S. as an imperial and colonial power.
The People’s Forum said, “This war serves no one but a tiny elite and oil executives and is a continuation of more than two years of genocide in Palestine and US-Israeli aggressions throughout the region.”
The same network has mobilized rapidly in past high-profile national security incidents. It previously rallied in support of Nicolás Maduro after U.S. authorities arrested him and his wife, Sylvia Flores, Jan. 3 for alleged involvement in narco-terrorism.
Earlier this month, when the State Department sent a report to the U.S. Congress raising concerns about this network, it stated, “Organizations like Code Pink and the People’s Forum denigrate the United States, whitewash the violence of Marxist regimes, and run cover for narco-terrorists like Maduro while enjoying an influx of cash from a donor network with connections to the Chinese Communist Party.”

Last summer, the same coalition, including the People’s Forum, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, the ANSWER Coalition and CodePink, rallied outside the White House under the banner “Hands Off Iran.” That protest was coordinated alongside the National Iranian American Council and amplified by BreakThrough News, which broadcast images of children holding anti-war signs at the White House fence.
Through the night of the joint U.S.-Israel attack on Iran, field marshals immediately readied printed signage, standardized messaging and coordinated media amplification, according to people familiar with the organizations. They linked anti-Israel activism, anti-ICE protests and anti-Trump messaging into a single narrative framework opposing what organizers call the U.S. “empire.” Their messages aligned with the messages of pro-regime protests in Iran.
By 4:31 a.m., BreakThrough News, a project of BreakThrough BT Media, a nonprofit funded by Singham, promoted the day of “emergency” protests as “BREAKING” news. It shares the same address as the People’s Forum, and its editor-in-chief, Ben Becker, is the son of Brian Becker, a co-founder of the ANSWER Coalition.

At 7:19 a.m., BreakThrough News circulated a video of an alleged U.S. strike on a school, which the network’s organizations repeated and amplified to portray the U.S. as an unbridled aggressor. The U.S. hasn’t commented yet on that alleged strike.
By 9:09 am., China’s Foreign Ministry called for an end to the strikes, its language aligning with the rhetoric of the U.S. protest infrastructure, calling for the defense of Iran’s “sovereignty” and “territorial integrity.”
By then, as many Americans were just awakening to the news, the protest infrastructure was fully engaged with social media graphics circulating, local chapters alerted and Times Square positioned once again as a stage for the rapid mobilization of foot soldiers who would have their images broadcast around the world with the predictable language of Americans mobilizing a “grassroots” campaign against the U.S. war on Iran.
At 11 a.m., the protests had spread to 16 hubs for the ANSWER Coalition and the Party for Socialism and Liberation: Chicago; Washington, D.C.; Akron, Cincinnati and Cleveland in Ohio; Asheville and Charlotte in North Carolina; Boston; Burlington, Vt.; San Diego, San Francisco, Sacramento, Davis and Los Angeles in California; Providence, R.I; Tucson, Ariz.; and Eugene, Ore.
A network of pro-regime organizations in Chicago issued its own press release, parroting the messaging against “the U.S. empire.”
The joint US-Israeli military operation against the Iranian regime is just and imperative. After drawing clear red lines over the continued mass execution of Iranian civilians, the pursuit of nuclear weapons and continued support for global terrorism, President Donald Trump has made the judicious decision that the Ayatollah could no longer be permitted to act with impunity. With God’s help, our troops will be able to fulfill this mission safely and secure an outcome that keeps all Americans safe.
This action by itself is an important step towards removing the threat posed by this evil regime, and a natural follow up to the joint US-Israeli mission to degrade Iran’s nuclear program, Operation Midnight Hammer. However, kinetic strikes alone are not sufficient. America will never be safe as long as this fundamentalist, anti-American dictatorship remains in power.
President Trump understands this, and has called on the Iranian people to take advantage of this unique chance to take back their country: “The hour of your freedom is at hand… For many years, you have asked for America’s help, but you never got it… Now you have a president who is giving you what you want.” It’s difficult to understate the historic implications of that statement — a move that is as strategically necessary as it is morally appropriate. It affirms the central truth that there will be no chance for peace or stability in the region until the Ayatollah and his entire rotten regime are gone for good, and the Iranian people are given the chance to determine their own future.
We have nearly five decades of experience to confirm that the Islamic Republic is an entirely irredeemable governing entity. Terrorism, oppression and vicious hatred of America, Israel and the West are part of its DNA; and its fundamentalist, millenarian vision is incompatible with peaceful coexistence with the civilized world. America — and the world — will never be safe if this regime survives in any form.
For those who blanch at the mention of “regime change,” let’s be clear: the Iranian dictatorship is not just any authoritarian state. The United States government has often had to make deals with governments we find abhorrent, yet whose cooperation is necessary to protect our interests. As Jeane Kirkpatrick famously argued in her landmark essay “Dictatorships and Double Standards,” protecting America’s interests requires stakesmen to be able to distinguish temporary partnerships with unsavory governments from appeasing enemies of the United States.
From Day 1, the Islamic Republic’s position on America has been clear: They hate us and would like to see us obliterated. From the Americans taken hostage in the earliest days of the Islamic Revolution; to the years of funding and orchestrating terrorist attacks against American civilians and military personnel; to the weekly chants of “Death to America;” to funding the proxy forces wreaking havoc throughout the Middle East; to partnering with our adversaries to undermine us in every theater — the Islamic Republic has been a consistent, highly dangerous enemy of the United States, and to all who desire peace in the Middle East.
There can be no resolution to this problem until this regime is consigned to the dustbin of history. That doesn’t mean the US should conquer Iran or install some kind of puppet government; it means attacking each pillar of the regime’s power in order to make its continued survival impossible, while creating the space for Iran’s organized democratic opposition to come to the fore and form a new government.
That transition can only come from the Iranian people — and thankfully, there is an expansive national movement ready to do just that. Indeed, the Iranian people have made their preference abundantly clear in repeated waves of resistance stretching back to the beginnings of the Islamic Republic. They do not want a theocracy — they want a republic that is free, democratic, and accountable to the citizenry. This is the only viable path to neutralize the threat from Iran and integrate it into the community of nations.
The benefits of such a shift would be truly historic. Terrorists would lose their primary sponsor; America’s adversaries would lose a key outpost; incredible economic opportunities would develop; and the highly-educated Iranian population could emerge as a natural partner for the United States.
