23 GUN BILLS FILED IN TEXAS.
And one of them could allow a judge to order someone to surrender their firearms BEFORE a hearing.
It's called House Bill 218.
The proposal would establish a red flag law in Texas.
Here's how it could work.
A qualifying petitioner goes to a judge and alleges that a gun owner poses an immediate danger.
Under certain circumstances, the judge could issue a temporary order without notifying the gun owner first.
The person would then have 24 hours to surrender their firearms.
A hearing would follow within 14 days.
ALL OF THIS IS BEING PROPOSED IN TEXAS.
And HB 218 isn't the only bill.
Another proposal would restrict certain semi-automatic rifle transfers to people under 21.
Following the November election, Democrats are preparing to take control of the governor's office and Texas House.
Republicans still hold a majority in the state Senate.
So these bills are proposals, NOT laws.
Supporters of red flag laws argue that temporary intervention can prevent imminent harm.
Critics raise concerns about due process, mistaken allegations, and enforcement.
Here's my question:
Should a judge be able to temporarily order firearms surrendered before the gun owner gets a hearing?
And what safeguards should the law require?
Let me know what you think.

HE JUST WON A SEAT IN THE U.S. SENATE.
Now listen to what happened when Jesse Watters asked Abdul El-Sayed about the Second Amendment.
Watters wanted to know whether he'd replace the right to bear arms.
El-Sayed started talking about healthcare.
Watters pressed him again.
And El-Sayed continued discussing healthcare before eventually mentioning that he supports people owning hunting rifles.
But here's the question.
IS SUPPORTING HUNTING THE SAME AS SUPPORTING THE SECOND AMENDMENT?
The Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms, including for lawful self-defense.
Hunting is only one use of firearms.
El-Sayed's campaign has said his earlier remarks about amending the Second Amendment don't represent his current position.
And now that he's been elected to the Senate, his legislative votes and judicial confirmations will provide more information about his views.
Here's my question:
Did he adequately answer Watters' question?
Or should he have explained his current Second Amendment position more directly?
Tell me what you think.

Law-abiding Floridians may possess SBRs and SBSs without NFA registration, a tax stamp, or fear of prosecution under Florida law.
We are issuing guidance and will not defend a conviction on appeal. This office will always defend the Second Amendment rights of peaceable citizens.

JUST IN: Dearborn, Michigan Poll Worker, Speaking in Arabic, Tells Undercover Reporter He Can Vote for U.S. Senate Despite Saying He’s Not a U.S. Citizen — Just Not President
“Only for U.S. President you can’t vote, but the others you can” is: “بس لرئيس أميركا ما فيك تصوّت، بس للباقيين فيك تصوّت.”
Under 18 U.S.C. § 611, noncitizens are prohibited from voting in federal elections, including U.S. Senate races, subject to narrow exceptions.

🚨 BIG: Florida Republicans are going for 24 of the state's 28 House seats TOMORROW.
Two years ago, the Sunshine State sent 20 Republicans and 8 Democrats to Congress.
Then DeSantis drew a NEW map, the legislature passed it, and the Florida Supreme Court let it stand.
FOUR Democrat seats are now in play: Tampa, Orlando, and two in South Florida.
The House is split 218 to 214. There is no margin for error.
Florida can lock in the majority. Go VOTE.

Something seriously wrong with Talarico
Bill Maher opens the floodgates when he asks, “Why?” James Talarico is a “very weird dude.”
Ted Cruz spends the next 2 full minutes going down the list.
Maher gives Talarico the benefit of the doubt until the “I really love trans children” quote drops.
Then he folds.
CRUZ: “I’m not going to convince you to love Ken Paxton. But you got to admit, Talarico, I think, is a very weird dude.”
MAHER: “Why?”
CRUZ: “Because he is like the ultimate woke social justice warrior. This is a guy who stands in front of a church... he says God is non-binary. He says there’s six genders. He stands in front of a church and says he weeps for his whiteness and weeps for his masculinity.”
MAHER: “That’s just weird. That is weird. I couldn’t agree with you more.”
KID ROCK: “Maybe he’s gay.”
MAHER: “What?”
KID ROCK: “Maybe he’s just gay.”
MAHER: “But why are we inferring — because he thinks Jesus is non-binary, which I don’t think he means as —”
[Kid Rock’s face isn’t buying a word of Maher’s explanation]
KID ROCK: “I know what he meant!”
MAHER: “What do you think he meant?”
KID ROCK: “Yeah, he’s trying to go into this whole ‘what’s a woman.’ Like, are we really talking about this 250 years later?”
MAHER: “No, I just think — look, I don’t know that much about it, but I have heard those quotes. I think what he meant by the Jesus is non-binary thing is that, you know, there are a lot of people who believe in God. I mean, your whole album is about Jesus, but in a more sort of ethereal way, more spiritual way. You know, he’s not the man in the sky with the beard, that kind of thing.”
CRUZ: “So Bill, all of these, he’s on video. He was asked, ‘Who do you really love?’ And his answer is, ‘Trans children.’ Well, I don’t know anyone else who would answer that question that way.”
MAHER: “Is that the full answer?”
CRUZ: “Yes, I promise you. You can pull up the video. He was asked, ‘Who do you really love?’ And he pauses and thinks and says, ‘I really love trans children.’ ... He also says on video that his objective is to, quote, ‘dismantle capitalism.’”
MAHER: “Look, I am not for any of that sh*t.”
CONTEXT: Talarico really did say it. On a 2023 podcast, he was asked what he loves other than family and friends, and his answer was the “trans children” who had rallied at the Texas Capitol the day before.

🚨 BREAKING: Ilhan Omar is a FAKE NAME for the Minnesota Representative, whose real name is Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a law enforcement source tells Fox
A name shared with her ex-husband and brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi.
She's running for election this year under a FAKE NAME. That's DISQUALIFYING.
Her entire life in the US is FRAUDULENT. Every single form she's EVER signed is now called into question.
It's looking REALLY bad for Ilhan!
