Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-TX), who is seeking to unseat incumbent Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) in the Republican primary, is launching a new satirical ad highlighting Cornyn’s record of partnering with Democrats on gun control and immigration legislation — arguing that if the senator “votes like a Democrat” and “acts like a Democrat,” then “he must be a Democrat.”

Juvenile hit by car at student anti-ICE protest in Florida

3 weeks ago


A minor was reportedly struck by a vehicle Monday afternoon during a student-led protest against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Palm Beach County, as hundreds of high school students walked out of class and took to nearby streets.

According to the West Palm Beach Police Department, officers responded around 12:30 p.m. to a pedestrian-vehicle crash near South Wind Plaza on North Military Trail.

'Students retain constitutional rights to ... engage in peaceful protest when such expression complies with applicable law and school district policy.'

Authorities said the minor — believed to have been participating in the protest — was transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The driver reportedly remained at the scene and cooperated with law enforcement.

Video obtained by CBS12 shows the minor lying on the pavement as police and fire rescue personnel render aid.

The incident unfolded amid coordinated walkouts involving students from at least four Palm Beach County high schools: Lake Worth Beach High School, John I. Leonard High School, Royal Palm Beach High School, and Palm Beach Lakes High School.

According to CBS12, the incident occurred in connection with the walkout at Palm Beach Lakes.

Students exited campus during school hours in protest of federal immigration enforcement policies. The demonstrations drew large crowds downtown and near major intersections.

A memorandum written by Commissioner of Education Anastasios Kamoutsas for the Florida Department of Education, released on Feb. 3, warned districts about student protests occurring during instructional time.

"Students retain constitutional rights to free expression, including the ability to engage in peaceful protest, when such expression complies with applicable law and school district policy," Kamoutsas wrote in the memo dated February 3. "Any student whose actions are to the contrary should be appropriately disciplined."

The memo further directs administrators not to organize or facilitate protest activity during the school day and to address violations promptly.

Palm Beach County School District previously stated that leaving campus during school hours violates safety protocols and could result in disciplinary action.

When reached for comment, the district directed Blaze News to school police, who have not responded. Palm Beach County Police Department declined a request for comment.

Authorities have not released additional details about how the crash occurred or whether any citations were issued.

'He made a big mistake': Trump accuses Obama of revealing classified information on aliens

3 weeks ago


President Donald Trump said that former President Barack Obama revealed classified information when he made comments that appeared to confirm the existence of extraterrestrial aliens.

Obama made the comments during an interview with Bryan Tyler Cohen, and they quickly went viral on social media, though both he and Trump had previously spoken about the possibility of aliens.

'He’s not supposed to be doing that. He made a big mistake. He took it out of classified information.'

On Thursday, Trump was questioned by Peter Doocy of Fox News, when he appeared to confirm that Obama had spilled classified information.

"Barack Obama said that aliens are real. Have you seen any evidence of non-human visitors to Earth?" Doocy asked the president while they were both on Air Force One.

"Well, he gave classified information. He’s not supposed to be doing that,” Trump replied.

"So aliens are real?" Doocy asked.

"I don’t know if they’re real or not," Trump responded. "I can tell you he gave classified information. He’s not supposed to be doing that. He made a big mistake. He took it out of classified information."

He went on to say that he never talks about classified information about aliens and doesn't have an opinion about the topic.

"I may get him out of trouble by declassifying," he joked.

Obama referred to the famous Area 51 facility in Roswell, New Mexico, in his interview.

"They’re real, but I haven’t seen them," said Obama about aliens.

"There’s no underground facility, unless there’s this enormous conspiracy and they hid it from the president of the United States."

Obama walked his comments back after they went viral.

"I was trying to stick with the spirit of the speed round, but since it’s gotten attention let me clarify. Statistically, the universe is so vast that the odds are good there’s life out there," he added.
