“Ten Weeks Left”: Texas Republican Urges Gov. Abbott To Curb Emergency Powers Before Democratic Takeover

Texas Republican Has A Plan For Abbott’s Final Ten WeeksTexas Rep. Brian Harrison (R-Midlothian) posted on X that Republicans still hold power in Texas for the next ten weeks and urged defeated three-term Governor Greg Abbott to convene an immediate special legislative session to curb executive emergency powers before Democrat Gina Hinojosa and her pals take power.Harrison wrote on X, “Republicans lost last night, but Democrats were not sworn in.”He continued, “We still have total power in Texas, and we must act like it by using the remaining ten weeks to restore separation of powers and limit the emergency powers that Governor-Elect Hinojosa is set to inherit, which would allow her to destroy liberty in Texas by executive fiat.”Harrison said legislation like HB 911, which he filed in 2022, would:Prohibit the governor from suspending or modifying statutes.Sunset emergency orders after 30 days if the Legislature does not ratify them.Prohibit the governor from reissuing emergency orders that have expired or that the Legislature has rejected.Require emergency orders to be narrowly tailored.Subject emergency orders to expedited judicial review.Harrison framed the bill as a separation-of-powers issue, saying he has opposed unchecked emergency authority under governors of either party. He said that Hinojosa’s election made action more urgent and called on fellow lawmakers to support his call for a special session.He said his bill “would protect liberty from executive fiat,” adding, “The future of liberty in America is literally on the line in Texas, and Texans deserve leadership that acts accordingly.”Journalist Lara Logan called Harrison’s bill a “Hail Mary for Texas – perhaps the Governor could show some courage.”A hail mary for Texas – perhaps the Governor could show some courage.— Lara Logan (@laralogan) November 4, 2026With these broad emergency powers, could the incoming left-wing governor declare a border disaster as a migrant caravan approaches?HONDURAN CARAVAN ENTERING: just like many predicted, a Honduran caravan has left San Pedro Sula yesterday, now headed towards the US.— Real America’s Voice (RAV) (@RealAmVoice) November 4, 2026She could potentially invoke the same statute Abbott used, emphasizing humanitarian risks such as dangerous exposure or inadequate shelter, provided conditions meet the legal threshold.

Jewish organizations called on Philadelphia and Pennsylvania leaders to condemn an upcoming “boycott ride” targeting pro-Israel and “Zionist establishments” in a statement Monday.The organizations Philly Bike On Your Left, Philly Writers Against the War on Gaza, Boycott CookNSolo and Philly Solidarity Calendar shared a flier promoting the bicycle boycott event at Rittenhouse Square on Nov. 8.”Ride around Rittenhouse with us as we show these zio business owners that we see them for the disgusting humans they are,” Philly Bike On Your Left wrote on Instagram.ISRAEL, JEWS TARGETED WORLDWIDE AS WELL-FUNDED LEFTIST, ISLAMIST GROUPS JOIN FOR ‘NAKBA 78’ PROTESTSThe flier included the names of Philadelphia businesses, including Dizengoff, Huda, Schlesinger’s and Mac Mart, all of which are owned by either Israeli or Jewish Americans.The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) Philadelphia, American Jewish Committee Philadelphia/Southern NJ, Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia and StandWithUs released a joint statement condemning the event as “Jew-Hatred, plain and simple” and called on city and state leadership to do the same.”Free speech protects political expression and criticism of Israeli government policies. It does not provide a license for threats, harassment, intimidation, or discrimination. There is a profound difference between criticizing a government and targeting businesses because their owners are Jewish or perceived to be connected to Israel,” the statement read.The organizations also remarked that the boycott’s scheduled date would occur on the eve of the 88th anniversary of Kristallnacht, a Nazi-organized attack on Jewish homes, synagogues and businesses in Germany and Austria.WEAPONIZING THE CHARGE OF GENOCIDE FUELS AN INCREASINGLY DANGEROUS ANTISEMITISMIn a statement to Fox News Digital, Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker’s office pointed to remarks shared Tuesday by Philadelphia Commission on Human Relations (PCHR) Executive Director Renee Chenault-Fattah.”The Philadelphia Commission on Human Relations reaffirms its 75-year commitment to fighting racism, antisemitism and, in recent years, Islamophobia. Acts of bigotry, violence and hate cannot be tolerated, and we will never stand by and allow businesses, individuals or jobs to be run out of our city, full stop,” the statement read.Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro also issued a statement to Fox News Digital condemning the event and assuring Jewish communities that his administration was working with authorities ahead of Sunday.”The Shapiro Administration is aware of this planned protest and the Pennsylvania State Police is engaged with our local partners to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our neighbors in Philadelphia. This bike ride, masquerading as a protest to advance the cause of justice, is nothing more than blatant antisemitism designed to intimidate and drive Jewish businesses out of our communities, and there is no place for that in our Commonwealth,” Shapiro spokesperson Rosie Lapowsky said.Ahead of the planned boycott, some of the targeted businesses reported receiving broad support from the public.Mac Mart owner Marti Lieberman told Fox News Digital that while it is “heartbreaking” to have to defend her business, she hoped the attention would shed light on what other small-business owners were were facing.OAKLAND COFFEE SHOP ACCUSED OF KICKING OUT JEWISH DAD, 5-YEAR-OLD SON AND SHUTTERS AMID ANTISEMITISM LAWSUITS”We are absolutely feeling the love from this community, and we don’t take a single order, kind message, or person showing up for us for granted,” Lieberman said. “Our hope is that this attention also sheds some light on what small business owners are dealing with, often quietly, and brings accountability to those choosing to target and tear down businesses without considering the real people behind them.””At the end of the day, we want to keep doing what we built Mac Mart to do: feed people, make them feel welcome, and send them off a little happier than when they arrived. Everyone is still welcome at our window,” she added.Huda owner Yehuda Sichel defended his Jewish heritage and pledged to stand against the boycott.”I’m proud to be Jewish and supportive of Israel. Neither should make my business a target,” Sichel told Fox News Digital. “As the grandchild of Holocaust survivors, seeing Jewish businesses targeted on the eve of the Kristallnacht anniversary is deeply personal.” “Since this was announced, we’ve received nothing but positive support, with people coming in to patronize our business in response to this boycott,” he added. “Our doors are open to everyone, and we’re not going anywhere.” Fox News Digital reached out to Philly Writers Against the War on Gaza and Boycott CookNSolo, two of the groups promoting the event, for comment but did not immediately receive a response.

Cleveland Guardians pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz were in a Brooklyn court on Wednesday during opening statements in their gambling case.The relievers are accused of rigging their own pitches during games to benefit bettors. Both have pleaded not guilty to conspiracy charges and are on non-disciplinary leave from the club without pay while facing prosecution. They were arrested in November 2025 and have been free on bail since.The pitchers were described by Assistant U.S. Attorney Rebecca Urquiola Wednesday as “cheaters” during opening statements , and she said they “sold their pitches.”CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGEUrquiola said Clase befriended a sports betting gambler in the Dominican Republic in early 2023 who shared his interest in dominoes and cockfighting, which is legal in his home country.She said Clase saw gamblers profiting from his pitches and “decided it wasn’t enough to help his friends make money,” so he asked for kickbacks.Clase eventually agreed to tell “his new friend” what kinds of pitches he would throw in certain games, enabling gamblers to reap at least $460,000 on platforms that allow customers to bet on whether a pitch would be a ball or a strike, she said.Defense lawyers, however, said their clients were innocent and that a gambler who befriended Clase falsely claimed to other gamblers that the pitcher was providing inside information on his pitches and tried to sell them the information.He said Clase was 25 in the spring of 2023 when he met a 41-year-old gambler, Enoc Pena, who made over 7,000 bets from 2023 to 2025 and had a history of lying to get what he wanted.Pena “didn’t see a peer, a friend. He saw a mark,” Bronson said.WORLD SERIES CHAMPION MARK TEIXEIRA WINS US HOUSE SEAT IN TEXAS: ‘I’M EXCITED’Soon Pena was bringing Clase food and picking him up at the airport in the Dominican Republic, the lawyer said. The pitcher, in turn, gave him tickets to Guardians games and loaned him money.As Pena bragged to fellow gamblers that he was close to Clase and tried to sell them information, he was actually guessing which pitches Clase would throw in games and managed with fellow gamblers to lose over 200 bets on Clase’s pitches, the lawyer said. Pena was “selling lies,” Bronson said, urging jurors to ask themselves if his client would risk “a fortune and his lifelong dream over a few thousand dollars.”Bettors allegedly won $400,000 from betting platforms on pitches thrown by Clase between 2023 and 2025. Ortiz allegedly joined the scheme in June 2025.In one instance, the indictment alleges, Clase used his phone in the middle of a game to coordinate with a bettor on a pitch he would throw.Clase turned himself into arguably the game’s best closer, pitching to a 1.21 ERA in his last full season in 2024, which was good for a third-place finish in the American League Cy Young Award vote. His 2025 ERA was 3.80 by the time he was investigated. Ortiz boasts a lifetime 4.36 ERA, with his best season also coming in 2024 with a 3.32 ERA.Clase inked a five-year, $20 million deal just before opening day in 2022, a few months after finishing fifth in the AL Rookie of the Year voting. Ortiz was making the veteran minimum of $782,600 last season because he was not yet arbitration eligible.OutKick’s Ryan Gaydos, Jackson Thompson and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

A Canadian woman and her daughter were killed in a suspected grizzly bear attack over the weekend while hiking on a trail near their home, according to authorities.Jennifer Balcarras, 48, an art therapist, and her daughter, Selah Reed, 20, went missing Saturday after going for a walk on the Snooka West Trail, just minutes from their home in Bella Coola, British Columbia.Loved ones grew concerned when Balcarras failed to show up for a scheduled online meet-up on Saturday, her brother, Matt Balcarras, told the Vancouver Sun.A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO NOT GETTING MAULED BY A BEAR WHILE HIKING OR CAMPING THIS SUMMERAfter failing to reach the pair, relatives asked the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) to perform a welfare check on Sunday morning.Authorities discovered Balcarras’ vehicle parked at the trailhead. Her body was recovered Monday, and search teams found Reed’s body on Tuesday.GRIZZLY BEAR MAULS HIKER, DRAGS HIM DOZENS OF FEET ON GLACIER NATIONAL PARK TRAIL”There was evidence to suggest a bear may have been involved,” Jeff Tyre, an inspector with the British Columbia Conservation Officer Service, said in a video update posted to social media.Tyre noted that officers were actively working to “locate and capture any bears involved” and said it was not immediately clear if more than one animal was responsible.HIDDEN DANGER AT POPULAR US NATIONAL PARK FORCES TRAIL CLOSURES AS BEAR SIGHTINGS CLIMB”Any captured bear will be assessed,” conservation officials added in a statement. “If it is determined to have been involved in the attack, it will be dispatched in accordance with provincial human-wildlife conflict response guidelines to protect public safety.”Matt Balcarras expressed shock over the location of the attack, emphasizing that his sister and niece were experienced in the region.”They were not naive city folks,” he said. “They were strong women living the life.”The tragic encounter came less than a year after a grizzly bear injured 11 people, including fourth- and fifth-grade students, during a school field trip near Bella Coola.

Scandal-plagued illegal invader Ilhan Omar won reelection on Tuesday in Minnesota.
The Somali community celebrated last night.
Once again, the Somali scammer will once again represent the state of Minnesota in the US Congress.
Ilhan Omar wins reelection handlily in Minnesota. – bing screenshot
Scandal-plagued Somali Ilhan Omar won with 76% of the vote and 262,702 votes, over her Republican opponent John Nagel, with 16% of the vote and 55,875 votes.
This is despite Ilhan’s criminal past finally creeping up on her.
As TGP’s Cassandra Fairbanks reported in 2019:
This article was originally published on The Gateway Pundit on September 25, 2019.

Newly uncovered photographs of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s family provide even more evidence that she married her brother as part of an immigration scam.
Weeks before the photographs were uncovered, a tweet resurfaced in which Rep. Omar linked to a now-deleted Instagram post in which she referred to her father as Nur Said.

In 2009, Rep. Omar married Ahmed Nur Said Elmi.
In most Muslim countries, a person’s surname is actually the father’s name. This means that Ahmed Nur Said Elmi is the son of Nur Said — and Rep. Omar’s brother.
After Gateway Pundit and other outlets reported the development, Rep. Omar deleted the tweet.
Now, more resurfaced tweets are painting an even clearer picture of the sham marriage Rep. Omar was involved in and the lengths she is going to hide it.
In a series of tweets from January, Rep. Omar’s sister Sahra Noor discussed her lawmaker relative — and her “other sister” with a winking emoji.

Four days prior to those tweets, Noor had tweeted a photo of a family reunion which included several men — and Leila Nur Said Elmi.
In December 2016, a man named Suleiman Axoow wrote on Facebook: “On Wednesday night I had an opportunity to have dinner with State Representative-Elect Ilhan Omar & her lovely sis Leila Elmi.”
Noor is the only sibling that Rep. Omar has publicly acknowledged.

Journalist David Steinberg obtained a copy of Leila Elmi’s marriage certificate, which lists Nur Said as her father.

As the Gateway Pundit previously reported, in 2017, Rep. Omar swore under penalty of perjury while divorcing her husband (brother?) that she hadn’t seen Ahmed N. Elmi since 2011 and didn’t know anyone who could help her contact him. She claimed, under oath, that she did not know how to contact a single one of his relatives.
An extensive report by David Steinberg in July revealed that in 1995, Ilhan entered the United States as a fraudulent member of the “Omar” family.
“That is not her family. The Omar family is a second, unrelated family which was being granted asylum by the United States. The Omars allowed Ilhan, her genetic sister Sahra, and her genetic father Nur Said to use false names to apply for asylum as members of the Omar family,” the report explained. “Ilhan’s genetic family split up at this time. The above three received asylum in the United States, while Ilhan’s three other siblings — using their real names — managed to get asylum in the United Kingdom.”
Steinberg reported that Ilhan Abdullahi Omar’s name, before applying for asylum, was Ilhan Nur Said Elmi.
“Her father’s name before applying for asylum was Nur Said Elmi Mohamed. Her sister Sahra Noor’s name before applying for asylum was Sahra Nur Said Elmi. Her three siblings who were granted asylum by the United Kingdom are Leila Nur Said Elmi, Mohamed Nur Said Elmi, and Ahmed Nur Said Elmi,” the report continued.
As the Gateway Pundit previously reported, Omar’s father, Nur Omar Mohamed (aka Nur Said Elmi Mohamed), is connected to the former genocidal dictator in Somalia, Said Barre. Nur and other former Barre accomplices are living in the US illegally.
The Daily Caller reports, “In 2017, she filed for divorce from Elmi and said she hadn’t seen him since 2012. She swore under oath that she did not know the name of a single member of his family and did not know anyone who knew him. But another Power Line screenshot of a deleted post from Omar’s Instagram account shows her with Elmi in London during this period.”

Ilhan is the litmus test for America.
Do laws mean anything? Will Republicans be able to hold her to account and have her face justice for her crimes?
And, more importantly… Can she represent Minnesota from Somalia?
She could be expelled to her home country before the new Congress convenes in January.
