The Republican Party’s midterm convention opens in Dallas today, with President Trump scheduled to deliver remarks this evening at 8:15 PM. The convention comes as Republicans prepare for November’s congressional battles and Democrats scramble to hold their thin majorities.
Trump’s schedule includes a MAGA Inc. meeting at 5:00 PM, followed by the main RNC convention event at 6:00 PM, before taking the stage for his prime-time address.
Some GOP lawmakers are skipping the convention to focus on their campaigns — a move Axios frames as “tensions” within the party. But conservatives know the real story: candidates in tight races are doing what they need to do to win their districts.
Texas law enforcement is standing by to handle any protests or disruptions. The state has made clear it won’t tolerate the violence that plagued previous political events in blue cities.
Military Strikes Back at Iran
Before the convention spotlight turns on, Trump’s military delivered a powerful message to Tehran: the U.S. destroyed five Iranian crude-oil tankers Tuesday after Iran’s Revolutionary Guard launched ballistic missiles toward American naval forces.
The Treasury Department also sanctioned more than two dozen Iranian airlines, private aviation companies, and foreign cargo providers as part of the expanding “Operation Economic Outcast.”
Iran just handed Trump the perfect leverage — their oil smuggling operation is in flames and their economy is bleeding.
Energy Secretary Wright told reporters a nuclear agreement with Iran “may not be possible” — signaling the administration won’t rush into a bad deal just to get a headline.
Supreme Court Fight Over Voter Eligibility
The Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court to allow a federal database combining immigration, Social Security, and other government information to help identify potentially ineligible voters.
Opponents claim the SAVE system could flag eligible voters by mistake. But patriots know the real objection: the left doesn’t want any system that locks down election integrity. If the system makes an error, voters have time to fix it and prove eligibility before November.
Clancy Jurors Reveal Their Bias
Some jurors from the Lindsay Clancy mistrial are starting a media tour, and they’re exactly as expected. One juror complained about the lone holdout who refused to acquit Clancy of her children’s brutal deaths.
“But he had the hardest time getting over the fact that Lindsay viciously killed her children,” the juror explained — as if a father of three refusing to excuse infanticide is somehow unreasonable.
Another juror whined that the prosecution seemed too harsh. “I just found it to be harsh—very, very harsh,” she told NBC10 Boston. That’s the prosecutor’s job, lady — this isn’t a therapy session.
Patrick Clancy’s attorney is now calling for an end to the “defamation campaign” against him as sympathizers continue portraying the accused as the real victim.
Trade War Escalates With Canada
Trump banned imports of some Canadian alcohol, dairy, and motorcycles as the North American trade war intensifies. The move comes after Canada refused to address trade imbalances and continued policies disadvantaging American producers.
Nike is leaving the S&P 100 as its stock plummets — another woke brand paying the price for alienating its core customers.
What’s Next
All eyes turn to Dallas tonight. Trump’s speech will set the tone for the final sprint to November’s midterms — and conservatives are ready to take back Congress.
