ON THIS DAY in 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue. His voyage led to the discovery of the land that became America—the most exceptional country on Earth. Today, the communist Left wants to wipe his name from history. Not on our watch.

Mamdani is requiring ID to shop at his communist grocery store so non-citizens of NYC can’t buy the discounted food.
So why are he and the entire Democrat party opposed to requiring ID so non-citizens can’t vote?

Kay Granger spent a lifetime breaking ground for the people of Texas—as Fort Worth's first female mayor; then as the first Republican woman elected to represent our state in Congress; and later as the first woman to chair the House Appropriations Committee.
Those are not small firsts. They are an inspiration for others, and a legacy built on intelligence, determination and true grit. She showed up, for twenty-eight years for the people of North Texas, and it was an honor to serve alongside her in Congress.
Fort Worth and Tarrant County lost a tireless advocate today, and the House lost a trailblazer. Well done, Kay. Our prayers are with your family and friends as you blaze this next trail to your heavenly home.
