The attorney general of Texas announced an investigation into reports that non-citizens were being illegally registered to vote. 'It is a crime to vote—or to register to vote—if you are not a United States Citizen.' "Texans are deeply troubled by the possibility that organizations purporting to assist with voter registration are illegally registering noncitizens to vote in our elections," said Attorney General Ken Paxton in a statement Wednesday. "My office is investigating every credible report we receive regarding potential criminal activity that could compromise the integrity of our elections," he added. Paxton went on to criticize the Biden-Harris administration over its failure to secure the border. "The Biden-Harris Administration has intentionally flooded our country with illegal aliens, and without proper safeguards, foreign nationals can illegally influence elections at the local, state, and national level," he claimed. Paxton may have been referring to a report made by Maria Bartiromo of Fox News that immigrants were lined up outside of DMV offices and getting registered to vote at a table and tents outside of the offices. She did not say they were illegal aliens, but many on social media took that to be her meaning. In his statement, the attorney general referred to the booths outside government offices. "If eligible citizens can legally register to vote when conducting their business at a DPS office, why would they need a second opportunity to register with a booth outside?" he asked rhetorically. A spokesperson for the Texas Department of Public Safety said the claims were "simply false" in a statement to the Star-Telegram. “Contrary to Bartiromo’s friend’s wife’s account, there is no office for the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles in Weatherford. Folks there get their licenses at a DPS Driver License office," said Sgt. William Lockridge. “None of it is true,” he added. He went on to say the report was "kind of racist" because he reasoned that, “Just because these people aren’t white, that doesn’t mean they’re illegal.”In May, Paxton filed a lawsuit against an organization for allegedly engaging in "human smuggling" by shielding illegal aliens from law enforcement agencies. The group denied the accusations and said his claims were "illegal, immoral and anti-faith." A coalition of 24 states, including Texas, filed a brief urging the U.S. Supreme Court to protect elections from non-citizens voting by supporting an Arizona law that required voters to show proof of citizenship. "It is a crime to vote—or to register to vote—if you are not a United States Citizen. Any wrongdoing will be punished to the fullest extent of the law," Paxton concluded in his statement.

Among the long list of things we won’t miss about Joe Biden is his constant lying about Donald Trump. “Nothing enrages me more than Joe Biden and his flatout lies about what Donald Trump has said in the past, continually lying about him,” Pat Gray tells Lara Trump, who joined the show to shed light on the party’s plan to address the ongoing deception from Biden, Harris, and the DNC. - YouTube www.youtube.com Even though Snopes and other fact-checker platforms have debunked several of Biden’s lies about Trump, the president continues to perpetuate them every time he’s near a microphone. “How do you combat that?” Pat asks. “They know they have failed the American people, so they know they can only operate in lies,” Lara says, pointing to the lie that Donald Trump instituted a “federal abortion ban” when he actually just pushed the issue back to the states. “The only way you can [combat] that is actually show Donald Trump in his own words and show what he truly said,” she continues, referencing how the left and its media allies spread the lie that Trump said that “neo-nazis and white supremacists” were “very fine people” when he, in fact, said that those extremist groups should be “condemned totally.” Pat then brings up Project 2025 and the hysteria Democrats are raising over its supposed radicalism. “All of the proposals I’ve seen are pretty reasonable,” he says of the Heritage Foundation’s policy recommendations. “These are things that just make sense for the conservative party. Is that something Donald feels is necessary to distance himself from?” he asks. “There are some ideas in there that are very productive and would be great for this country. There are some ideas in there that might be a little more extreme, and the problem is Donald Trump hasn’t had anything to do with Project 2025,” Lara explains, noting that falsely pinning Project 2025 on Trump is yet another example of the left’s efforts to make him look “extreme and crazy.” She goes on to explain why the left avoids addressing the issues Americans actually want to hear about, like “how they get inflation down, how they get more money in their pockets, how we bring the prices of gas down, close our southern border, bring our troops back home, make sure that we are not engaged in foreign wars and sending money overseas.” “That's not what Democrats want to talk about because they know they've taken the country in the wrong direction on all of those issues,” she says.

Some delegates attending the Democratic National Convention were horrified to report finding maggots in their breakfast dishes, and the FBI has launched an investigation.The mortifying incident was reported at the Fairmont Chicago Hotel, according to a hotel spokesman. 'Ugly attacks like this have no place in our democracy.' “We can confirm that a group of individuals caused a disruption at a DNC-related breakfast event at our hotel this morning,” said Haley Robles to WGN-TV. “Our team acted immediately to clean and sanitize the area, ensuring that the event could continue without further incident.” A delegate from Indiana said the hotel staff did a good job of improvising after the discovery. “They protected us, of course, and turned it around in minutes,” said Tracy Boyd. “I really do want to give a shout-out to the hotel staff and leadership." A statement from law enforcement officials providing DNC security released a statement about the incident. Multiple unknown female offenders are alleged to have entered a building (200 block of North Columbus Drive) and began placing unknown objects onto tables containing food. The offenders are believed to have then left the area. One victim was treated and released on-scene. Along with CPD, FBI-Chicago is assisting in the investigation. No further information is available at this time.Delegates from Minnesota, Ohio, Missouri, and Indiana are staying at the Fairmount hotel. Pete Buttigieg, the secretary of the transportation department, spoke at the hotel on Wednesday. “All Americans have the right to peaceful protest, but ugly attacks like this have no place in our democracy,” read a statement from Indiana Democratic Party spokesperson Sam Barloga.The New York Post noted that anti-Israel protesters had previously released maggots at a hotel hosting delegates with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Protesters took credit for the attack and also admitted to pulling a fire alarm ahead of Netanyahu's speech. Like Blaze News?

If you wanted to use the AI image generator Midjourney when it first launched, your only choice was to join a Discord server and interact with a bot. Late last year, the Midjourney team created a website for the service, but only for users who had already generated at least 10,000 images on Discord. Months later, the website is now open to everyone. In a Discord message on Wednesday, Midjourney's co-founder and CEO David Holz explained that anyone can visit Midjourney's website, create an account, and begin making images. New users will even be able to create around 25 images for free. If you want to know how to use the service before you waste all of your free images, Midjourney shared a video on X to help new users get started: https://twitter.com/midjourney/status/1826305298560418171 Though new users can sign up with a Google account or a Discord account, Holz recommends that current users stick with Discord to retain their image history. That said, once you log in with your Discord account, you can merge the two accounts from profile settings. Once you log in, you can type prompts into the input field at the top of the page to have the AI generate images for you. I generated the image at the top of this page with the prompt: "a man sitting on a sunny hillside typing on his laptop." Midjourney shows me that I have approximately 24 images left to generate as part of my free trial. Depending on how complicated the image is to generate, it could impact the total number of freebies I get. After your free trial ends, you'll have to pay to generate more images. Midjourney offers four plans, with the cheapest starting at $10 a month (or $96 a year).
