Texas to investigate Democrats' mailers asking non-citizens to register to vote
[WASHINGTONTIMES] Texas Secretary of State Rolando Pablos confirmed this week that he has asked state Attorney General Ken Paxton to open an investigation into the Democratic Party’s attempts to ask non-citizens to sign up to vote.

"The numerous calls and complaints we have received regarding pre-filled voter registration applications sent to ineligible voters are highly disturbing," Mr. Pablos said in a statement Monday.

He was referring to mail the state Democratic Party sent out urging people to sign up to vote, and warning of deadlines if they didn’t act quickly. The mailing included a voter application that already had the boxes for age and citizenship status pre-checked.

Some of the mail went to non-citizens, who are actually ineligible.

The mailings, while sent from the state party, had pre-addressed return envelopes addressed to elections officials, leaving some residents with the impression they were official communications from the state.

Encouraging someone to submit a fraudulent registration form is a crime ‐ though officials said it would take an investigation to know whether the party’s mailings cross that line.

The Washington Times reported on the mailings last week after the Public Interest Legal Foundation filed complaints with prosecutors in two Texas counties.

CNN’s Jim Acosta ‘Asks’ Trump: ‘What You Really Mean Is That You’re a White Nationalist’
[BREITBART] President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
defined nationalism for CNN news hound Jim Acosta in the White House Tuesday, saying that he’s "so proud of our country."

"Mr. President, just to follow up on your comments about being a nationalist‐there is a concern that you are sending coded language or a dog whistle to some Americans out there that what you really mean is that you’re a white nationalist?" Jim Acosta asked in the Oval Office.

"I’ve never even heard that, I can’t imagine that," Trump said. "I’ve never heard that theory about being a nationalist."

Trump also said, "I am very proud of our country. We cannot continue to allow what’s happened to our country to continue happening. We can’t let it happen. So I’m proud. I’m proud of our country, and I am a nationalist. It’s a word that hasn’t been used too much. Some people use it, but I’m very proud. I think it should be brought back."

"All I want our country is to be treated well, to be treated with respect. For many years, other countries that are allies of ours‐so-called allies‐they have not treated our country fairly. So in that sense, I am absolutely a nationalist, and I’m proud of it," the president also told Acosta.

This question comes after Trump enthusiastically called himself a "nationalist" at a rally in Texas Monday.

"A globalist is a person that wants the globe to do well, frankly, not caring about our country so much," the president said.

"You know what I am? I’m a nationalist. Okay? A nationalist. Use that word."

Acosta, as usual, took to his Twitter to recap what just happened for his followers.

"I also asked Trump about the ’nationalist’ label he has given himself. He brushed off the notion that this means he is a ’white nationalist,'" he said in part.
