‘He’s Lost His Mind’: Trump’s Davy Crockett Social Media Post Has Everyone Scratching Their Heads President Donald Trump followed his announcement of firing Attorney General Pam Bondi with a bizarre social media post that left many baffled. About 30 minutes after the Bondi firing, Trump’s Truth Social account shared a message jokingly claiming Davy Crockett was “a distant relative” of Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas. The post included an image of Fess Parker, who played the folk hero in the Disney miniseries and 1955 film Davy Crockett: King of the Wild Frontier, alongside a rendition of the song with the same name. Trump wrote, “Davy Crockett, obviously a distant relative of Jasmine Crockett, and a very High IQ Frontiersman, would be proud of the legacy that he began long ago, and especially Jasmine’s Great Success as a Politician from the Great State of Texas!” Jasmine Crockett, who did not seek re-election to her House seat and lost the Texas Senate Democratic primary to state Rep. James Talarico, responded indirectly through her campaign’s X account. The account stated, “The President is clearly already missing me as many others will… but, lucky for you, Sir, I’m in the seat until January and have no plans of taking my foot off the gas on behalf of the American people.” Crockett also hinted at a possible connection between the post and her earlier questioning of Bondi’s conduct, adding, “I wonder if this has anything to do with my questioning of Pam Bondi????!!” The post sparked confusion among Trump critics and analysts.#donald_trump #truth_social #pam_bondi #jasmine_crockett #davy_crockett
Election 2026: Contested Primary Races in Texas and Panhandle The Texas primary election took place on Tuesday, featuring key races for U.S. Senate, governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, comptroller, and State House District 86. Among the most anticipated contests was the Republican Senate primary, where longtime Senator John Cornyn and MAGA-backed candidate Ken Paxton advanced to a May runoff. On the Democratic side, State Representative James Talarico maintained a narrow lead over U.S. Representative Jasmine Crockett in the same race. Republican Governor Greg Abbott and Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick secured their nominations without opposition, winning their respective primaries decisively. A notable upset occurred in the Agricultural Commissioner race, where incumbent Sid Miller lost to challenger Nate Sheets, a businessman known for founding the Nature Nate’s honey brand. Sheets will face goat farmer Clayton Tucker in the November general election. In the State House District 86 race, Holly Jeffreys defeated Jamie Haynes to claim the Republican nomination. The seat was previously held by John Smithee, who is retiring after nearly four decades in office. Jeffreys will now face Democrat Cullin Knutson, an Amarillo native, in the general election. The primary also saw significant changes on the Potter County Commission, with three of the five seats going to new candidates. Two commissioners running for re-election lost their bids, and longtime Judge Nancy Tanner chose not to seek a fourth term. Other local news included discussions about the Amarillo Parks and Recreation Board’s potential removal of thousands of prairie dogs from John Stiff Memorial Park due to concerns over the animals’ impact.#texas #john_cornyn #ken_paxton #james_talarico #jasmine_crockett
