DAVID MARCUS: California transplants in Texas are voting Democrat, and they see no irony in it

McKinney, Texas, is ground zero for the migration of voters from California to Texas over the past several years. On Election Day, it is these newcomers who may well tip the balance not just in the Senate and governor's races.

They may also decide whether the once ruby red Lone Star State will continue to grow bluer.

I met Oren at The Celt on the picture-postcard town square, where we played a friendly game of pool. He moved from California about a year ago "because it’s a lot cheaper to live" but is voting for Democrats because he believes that Texas needs "more social services and public transit" and more support for transgender kids.

When I gently tried to press Oren on the apparent illogic of moving away from a high-tax, big-government blue state for reasons of cost only to vote to make his new home a high-tax, big-government state, he was unmoved, almost arguing that real California progressivism has never been tried.

It turns out that Oren was not as much of an outlier as I had expected because, not long after, I met Daniel, who works at a local restaurant and moved to McKinney a few years ago with his best friend and girlfriend to start a business. He has also proudly brought his politics with him.

"It’s in the Constitution," Daniel told Fox News Digital. "We can go anywhere we want. It's meant to be that way."

When I asked him if he could understand why so many people born and raised in Texas are worried about transplants changing its politics, he shrugged and said, "Things change."

JOE ROGAN WARNS LIBERALS AGAINST TRYING TO TURN TEXAS BLUE, SAYS IT WOULD WRECK THE STATE'S 'DELICATE BALANCE'

In the space of about five hours, I met two more refugees from California prepared to keep voting for Democrats. Like Oren and Daniel, they really did not see any irony in the fact that they may be recreating in Texas exactly the conditions they escaped in California.

The natives, however, do see the problem with the Californication of Texas. Terry, a longtime local in her 60s, told me, "I love to see the growth, and there’s a lot of it, but if they bring Democratic politics with them, then we stand to lose the whole thing bringing people here."

Clint, who was in town from his home just on the other side of the Oklahoma border, is worried not just about Texas turning blue through domestic migration, but even about the Sooner State eventually turning blue.

"I cannot comprehend why someone would move from a state because there’s high taxes and then come down here and vote for high taxes. I just can’t comprehend it," Clint told Fox News Digital. "And I’ve asked them to explain it to me, but they just cuss me out."

Thankfully, nobody cussed out this columnist for asking, but Clint is correct that the liberal transplants see no problem with transforming the red states they arrive in into blue states, and it's not just Texas.

Arizona and even Montana have seen influxes of liberal California voters. West Virginians have similar fears regarding their neighbors to the south in Northern Virginia, who are also attracted by the low taxes and cost of living.

ELECTION DAY 2026: JOIN AMERICA'S CONVERSATION HERE!

In Texas, there is a kind of double-pincer political invasion because, along with the Cali converts, unchecked immigration — illegal and otherwise — over decades has also pushed the needle left in the state. This is, in a nutshell, the new Democratic Party coalition: wealthy, college-educated Whites and immigrants.

The bottom line for Republicans — not just in Texas but in many red states — is that Americans are moving at stunning rates to cheaper states, which almost always means Republican states. The good news is that red states stand to gain in the Electoral College and in Congress after the next census, but that won’t matter if Democrats take them over.

Between now and then, and especially on Tuesday, "Don’t you turn my red state blue" has to be the mantra of the GOP. If Texas falls this time, then anywhere can, and that is exactly what the Democrats moving to red states are hoping for and creating.

EXCLUSIVE: ICE captures illegal alien at center of NYC manhunt after sanctuary city release

EXCLUSIVE: Federal immigration officers arrested an illegal alien accused of attacking a New York City police officer Friday, ending a manhunt sparked by his release from local custody despite repeated U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer requests, Fox News Digital has learned.

Alpha Bah, an illegal immigrant from Guinea, was taken into custody at approximately 3:25 p.m. after ICE officers tracked him to a temporary residence in New York City, a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official told Fox News Digital.

Officers with ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) developed intelligence about Bah's last known temporary residence Friday and established surveillance in the surrounding area, the official said.

HOUSE REPORT SAYS NYC PROSECUTORS TAILORED PLEA DEALS TO SHIELD ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS FROM DEPORTATION

At approximately 2:22 p.m., officers spotted a man matching Bah's description leaving the residence and meeting several unidentified individuals on a nearby public street. Officers continued monitoring him rather than immediately approaching because several school-aged children were in the area.

About an hour later, officers spotted Bah alone and approached him while displaying police and ICE identification. They confirmed his identity through biographical questions, a photograph and Mobile Fortify, a biometric identification tool.

Officers informed Bah of an administrative immigration arrest warrant and took him into custody without incident. He was transported to 26 Federal Plaza in Manhattan for post-arrest processing, according to the official.

The arrest comes after Fox News Digital reported that NYC authorities released Bah despite repeated requests from federal immigration officials to hold him in custody.

EXCLUSIVE: NYC OFFICIALS REFUSE ICE HOLD FOR ILLEGAL ALIEN ACCUSED IN ARSON THAT KILLED 4 AND INJURED 7: DHS

Bah was initially arrested Oct. 7 on charges of aggravated assault on a police officer with a deadly weapon, resisting arrest, obstructing governmental administration and intent to obtain transportation without paying, according to DHS.

ICE lodged a detainer with Queens Central Booking, but Bah was released without federal immigration authorities being notified, DHS previously said.

The case drew criticism from federal immigration officials who accused New York City's sanctuary policies of allowing Bah to return to the streets despite the pending immigration detainer.

"This illegal alien from Guinea was arrested for assaulting a police officer with a deadly weapon. Despite these violent charges, New York City sanctuary politicians refused to honor ICE’s detainer and RELEASED him back onto the streets, and he remains at large," DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said in a statement prior to Friday's arrest.

"DHS is calling on Governor Kathy Hochul and Mayor Zohran Mamdani to knock it off with these evil sanctuary policies before another American gets hurt, or worse."

Battleground Republican declares he is 'stronger than ever' as he addresses scrutiny over missed votes

Rep. Tom Kean Jr., R-N.J., is responding to questions about missed congressional votes after a monthslong hospitalization for depression, saying he is "stronger than ever" as he seeks re-election in New Jersey's competitive 7th District.

Speaking on "The Fox News Rundown" podcast, Kean discussed his hospital stay earlier this year, explaining that his absence from Congress was due to a medical emergency.

"Nobody can schedule a medical emergency, and we were able to discuss and tell people while I was in the hospital that we [had] a medical situation in the family with me," he told Fox News’ Mike Emanuel.

"I also spoke on the House floor when I returned that I'd been in the hospital for depression because I want to get rid of the stigma associated with any mental health condition."

In June, Kean returned to the House and disclosed that he had been diagnosed with depression after spending months in the hospital receiving treatment.

MISSING GOP CONGRESSMAN REVEALS HE'S 'MORE ENERGIZED THAN EVER' TO RETURN TO WASHINGTON

Kean had been absent from Congress since early March, missing more than 100 votes before publicly disclosing his diagnosis. 

The extended absence drew calls for transparency from lawmakers in both parties and became a focal point for his Democratic challenger, former Navy helicopter pilot Rebecca Bennett, in the competitive district.

Emanuel asked Kean whether his absence had affected his standing with voters.

"As I said, I'm feeling stronger than ever. And I tell them the same issue that I just talked to you about. The fact that I had to treat my own mental health, I had to take that seriously," Kean said.

"I was in the hospital for those months that I was away. I spoke on the House floor that I had depression, and now we need to get rid of any stigma associated with mental health treatment."

Kean also pointed to his legislative record, highlighting his work on bipartisan legislation in New Jersey that sought to require health insurers to provide equal coverage for mental and physical health treatment. He said he continues to pursue similar efforts in Washington.

California dad of 5 says charter school rejected books that even mentioned God: 'Publisher blacklist'

A California father of five says his family's public charter school rejected homeschooling materials that merely mentioned God or faith, even when the books met state academic standards, forcing his family to pay out of pocket for educational resources he says other parents could access with public funds.

John Woolard told Fox News Digital he and his wife initially had no problems using a public charter school program that allowed them to educate their children at home. 

But he said they eventually discovered that their curriculum choices were being scrutinized for religious content.

"Any book or curriculum purchase that we wanted to make that referenced God or faith in even, like, an adjacent sort of way was being denied," Woolard said.

CALIFORNIA SCHOOL DISTRICT SUED OVER FIELD TRIP TO MOSQUE WHERE STUDENTS ALLEGEDLY DONNED MUSLIM GARB

He described what he called a "publisher blacklist" and said the restrictions extended beyond explicitly Christian instructional materials.

Woolard said he even encountered problems with books examining the religious beliefs of America's Founding Fathers.

"You would think that that would be something that would be non-controversial, but those curriculum choices would be denied," he said.

For Woolard, the dispute goes beyond religious expression. As a father of five, he said, the charter school program provided a cost-effective way to tailor the curriculum to each child's individual needs.

But when the school rejected certain curriculum purchases, he said, his family was left covering the costs.

"If our curriculum choices are denied, then we have to pay for those resources. We have to pay for those curriculum choices out of pocket," Woolard told Fox News Digital.

Woolard said he pressed school officials to explain why the materials were being rejected.

He asked whether the curriculum met California standards and whether it was academically rigorous enough. According to Woolard, the answer to both questions was yes.

"So, at the end of the day, the only objection that you have to this curriculum, our curriculum choices, is that there's a faith component to it," Woolard said he recalled asking.

He said both a teacher and principal acknowledged that the religious component was the objection.

WASHINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT THAT FORCED KIDS TO HIDE BIBLES IN SEALED ENVELOPES MUST APOLOGIZE, PAY $275K

"What that tells me is that equality only extends as far as what the government approves," he said.

Stephanie Taub, senior counsel with First Liberty Institute, characterized the policy as discriminatory toward families seeking a faith-based education during an interview with Fox News Digital. 

"What we're asking here is California has a policy that singles out parents who want to give their children a faith-based education, and it excludes them from homeschooling benefits that would otherwise be available," the attorney said.

Taub said the family is seeking s after an unfavorable lower-court decision.

Woolard said he hopes the justices will ultimately force California to change its approach.

"What I really hope is for the government or for the Supreme Court to come back and tell California you got the decision wrong, and this is the way to correct it," he said.

He added that such a ruling could "break open California for a lot of families" seeking similar changes.

Taub said the Supreme Court is considering whether to take the case and that she expects to hear whether the justices will review it in the next few months.

Polish president turns plane around after 'coup' at nation’s top court

While en route to Senegal, Poland’s President Karol Nawrocki turned his plane around and returned home after police entered Poland's top court, the Constitutional Tribunal, and the tribunal’s president was suspended.

"At such a moment, the President must be in Poland," Nawrocki posted on X. "I'm interrupting my flight to Senegal. I'm returning."

Police say they secured the Tribunal after dozens of protesters gathered to demonstrate against what they called the wrongful suspension of the top court’s president by the current pro-European government. 

Police said there were also dangerous objects thrown at officers outside the building.

Some protesters outside the court were seen praying, while others held posters reading "Tusk — a symbol of anti-Polish sentiment," "Down with the commies and Tusk’s regime," and "Stop destroying the state."

Poland’s top judicial bodies, including the Constitutional Tribunal, have been a major bone of contention between the current pro-European government, led by Prime Minister Donald Tusk, and the main opposition party, national-conservative Law and Justice (PiS), which ruled the country from 2015 to 2023. 

Critics accuse the PiS of imposing political control over key judicial institutions, with some reforms having led the EU to impose fines on Poland.

NATO ALLY PUSHES ‘FORT TRUMP’ US MILITARY BASE AS RUSSIAN HELICOPTER PENETRATES AIRSPACE

Nawrocki, an ally of the PiS ​party, refused to swear in three of six judges nominated by parliament earlier this year. 

Constitutional Tribunal president Bogdan Święczkowski, ⁠who was appointed by the PiS government after also serving as a deputy justice minister, declined to allow judges elected by the current parliamentary majority to assume their duties. According to the tribunal’s website, Święczkowski was suspended Friday.

"Restoring the rule of law is our duty," said Tusk, who returned to power in 2023 with a promise to restore the judiciary’s independence. He posted to X, "After years of PiS-led lawlessness, this is a difficult process, sometimes painful, and it requires decisive action. There is no other way." 

Since taking power, Tusk’s pro-European government’s efforts have been vetoed by two successive presidents aligned with PiS, including Nawrocki.

HUNGARY AND POLAND DEFEND TOUGH MIGRATION POLICIES AS FRANCE REELS FROM VIOLENT UNREST

Former Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, a former PiS member whose Rozwój Plus coalition is positioning itself as an alternative to Tusk's government ahead of next November’s parliamentary elections, also took to X to denounce "the forceful takeover of the Constitutional Tribunal."


"Justice cannot be achieved through violence," Morawiecki said, adding that "Tusk will stop at nothing to cling to power… We do not consent to Belarusian methods in Poland!" 

"It’s true: a coup d’état is underway," former PiS Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro wrote on X. "If someone were to forcibly break into the Prime Minister’s Office and take it over, we would all know what to call it… This is a blatant, criminal attack on the constitutional order… That is why I call for resistance that will be loud, firm, solidary and fearless."

U.S. Ambassador to Poland Tom Rose posted a statement on social media that read in part: "The events unfolding tonight at Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal are very serious indeed. We appear to be witnessing an unprecedented confrontation over the government’s use of state power and the independence and authority of a constitutional institution. Both sides offer sharply different accounts of what happened and why. Whatever the facts ultimately establish, thousands gathering outside the Tribunal make an already dangerous situation more combustible. The last thing Poland needs is a confrontation that spirals into something far worse. America is on Poland’s side. It is not our place to judge or interfere in its internal affairs. Our concern is for the stability, security, and democratic future of a country we are proud to call our friend and ally."

Russia's international hockey ban lifted, prompting backlash from IIHF, other countries: 'Incomprehensible'

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruled on Friday that Russian teams can compete in next year's men's and women's world championships, overturning the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF)'s decisions to exclude them from its competitions.

The IIHF has excluded Russia, which has won ​five IIHF world titles as an independent nation, from most international ice hockey competitions since 2022 following the country's invasion of Ukraine.

Russia did not compete in Olympic hockey earlier this year, the first since 2014 which had NHL players, nor was it included in the NHL's 4 Nations Face-Off. Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022, four days after Olympic competition ended that year.

The decision was not met with a warm reception from the IIHF and several other countries, including Canada, which will host the World Junior Championships later this year.

"Canada maintains, as it has since 2022, that Russia should not be represented in international sport competitions while Russia's illegal and unjustifiable full-scale invasion against Ukraine continues," Canada's Secretary of State for sport, Adam van Koeverden, said, via The Athletic. "Canada will maintain restrictions on the participation of Russian athletes at events hosted in Canada that receive funding from the Government of Canada and explore further options to ensure that the Russian government is held accountable."

"The IIHF disagrees with this aspect of the ruling ​and maintains that its decisions were necessary to protect the safety and security of all participants and safeguard the integrity of its competitions," ‌the ⁠federation said.

REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN PRESSES NHL OVER ALEX OVECHKIN’S APPEARANCE IN PUTIN PARTY CAMPAIGN AD

In a brief statement, CAS cited a lack of sufficient evidence to support the IIHF’s security concerns. Russia's sports minister, Mikhail Degtyarev, told state television channel Vesti that "discrimination in hockey has been brought to an end," and "this place rightfully belongs to us."

Ukraine's ice hockey federation denounced the ruling while respecting the authority of the CAS.

"We wish to express deep outrage at this decision, taken amid a full-scale war. The threats that were the reason for suspending Russian teams in 2022 have not disappeared. On the contrary, they have only intensified," the federation said on its website.

"We believe that the safety of participants and ​the integrity of international sport ​cannot be considered separately ⁠from the realities of the war that Russia continues to wage against Ukraine."

Other countries to oppose the decision include Germany, Finland, Czechia, Sweden and Austria.

The first tournament to be affected by the change will be the World Juniors, and Germany will host the World Championships next year.

Notable NHL players include Alex Ovechkin, Nikita Kucherov, Kirill Kaprizov, Andrei Svechnikov and Artemi Panarin, among others.

Selma Blair breaks silence weeks after arrest for alleged assault

Selma Blair on Friday apologized following her arrest after an alleged altercation with flight attendants on a Delta flight earlier this month.

The 54-year-old actress said her lawyers had advised her not to say anything because of the ongoing legal matter, but added that she could say: "Not one day ever have I intended to hurt or frighten anyone a day in my life. And so to the people I disappointed, that I hurt, I frightened, alarmed I am so sorry."

In the emotional Instagram video, taken in what appeared to be her home, she added that she would be taking care of her health and her son "and thinking of you all with gratitude and love."

Blair was arrested for assault and arraigned on Monday, Oct. 12, on two counts of second-degree assault stemming from alleged attacks on a Port Authority police officer and a nurse following her arrival at John F. Kennedy International Airport from Los Angeles. Police had responded to a call about a "physically abusive passenger" aboard Delta Flight 938.

SELMA BLAIR'S REP SPEAKS OUT AFTER STAR'S ARREST: ‘MUCH MORE TO THIS STORY’

Blair pleaded not guilty. The judge set bail at $20,000 cash/$60,000 bond/ $60,000 partially secured bond. She's expected in court in January 2027.

"On Sunday October 11 at approximately 11pm at JFK Airport, PAPD responded to a call about a physically abusive passenger aboard Delta Airlines flight 938 which was parked at the gate after arrival from LAX," New York Port Authority officials confirmed to Fox News Digital.

"Suspect was identified as Selma Blair, a 54-year-old woman. She was taken into custody and transported to the hospital for evaluation."

According to court documents, Blair was restrained on a stretcher at the airport but freed her leg, and allegedly kicked an officer in the face, neck and chest, causing substantial swelling. A nurse at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where Blair was taken, alleged that the actress kicked her in the chest while moving her.

Delta confirmed that law enforcement officials responded to an incident upon arrival to John F. Kennedy International Airport, a flight which departed out of Los Angeles earlier in the day.

"Delta has zero tolerance for unruly or unlawful behavior, as the safety of our customers and crew always comes first," Delta said in a statement. Sources told TMZ that Blair allegedly punched one flight attendant and bit another in the middle of the flight.

Law enforcement officials confirmed Blair was also separately served with a summons by the FBI, and is currently facing one charge of assault.

At the time, the New York Post reported that Blair's lawyer told the court that the actress "missed several doses of… a powerful medication that controls severe neurological symptoms."

Representatives for Blair later shared a lengthy statement with People, saying the actress "did not intend to harm anyone."

"Since Sunday night, the public account of what happened to Selma aboard a flight to New York has been built almost entirely on a police statement and a decade-old headline," the spokesperson said.

"A handful of journalists have taken the time to report on Selma as a human being rather than a headline, and we are grateful to them," the statement continued. "But fair reporting has been the exception, and in the space left by our silence, speculation has hardened into something being treated as fact. We can, however, correct the record on a few points already in public circulation. Selma Blair experienced a medical emergency on the flight. There was no attempt to open the door of the aircraft. Selma did not intend to harm anyone."

The statement also addressed rumors the actress does not in fact have multiple sclerosis, a diagnosis she went public with in 2018. The spokesperson called those rumors "outrageous," noting, "What Selma has been able to do physically in the years since is nothing short of a miracle."

It concluded, "There is much more to this story than has been reported, and we ask to consider the entirety of the facts before rushing to judgment, whether in the courtroom or in the court of public opinion."

Brewers' World Series celebration gets rowdy as star makes outrageous beer promise, coach sings karaoke

If you are having a bad day, just remember that you could always be a beer in the state of Wisconsin.

To say the Milwaukee Brewers had a good time at their World Series parade on Friday would be an understatement. Brewers right fielder Sal Frelick made one of the boldest declarations of the year at the rally.

"I’m going to have a beer for every single person here, I’m having 100,000 beers! Let’s go!" Frelick screamed into the microphone.

It’s been an incredible 24 hours for the 26-year-old, as he performed the Lambeau Leap when the Brewers brought the Commissioner’s Trophy onto the field during the Green Bay Packers game Thursday night. During his speech Friday, he made sure to let the raucous crowd know that captain Christian Yelich couldn't tackle him like a football player, either.

During Frelick’s speech, he said his best friends are all on the team and that they hang out with each other around the clock off the field. The Brewers displayed the power of friendship when they convinced the event organizers to bring hitting coach Daniel Vogelbach onstage to deliver a speech.

Now, to say Vogelbach may have had a few beers might also be an understatement. The Brewers players didn't just want Vogelbach to give a speech; they wanted him to sing karaoke.

"Stacy’s Mom" started blaring through the speakers, and Vogelbach immediately knew he had been set up.

"All right, if you guys really want this, we’re going to do it," Vogelbach said.

Vogelbach, who surely won’t be on "American Idol" or "The Voice" anytime soon, then began singing a couple of verses from Fountains of Wayne’s hit. Despite Vogelbach’s less-than-ideal singing voice, the crowd and players were jubilant, dancing and singing along with the hitting coach.

Safe to say, the vibes were incredibly high in Milwaukee.
