Ken Paxton may just be the luckiest man on Earth, or at least in Texas.  He should consider putting down two bucks for a Powerball ticket or maybe paying a visit to the Kickapoo Lucky Eagle Casino along the Rio Grande.

Paxton, of course, is the Republican nominee to be the next U.S. Senator from Texas.  Largely because of President Trump’s endorsement, he ousted incumbent Senator John Cornyn in the GOP primary.  But many observers consider Paxton a truly lousy, wretched candidate.  His checkered past includes legal problems, moral failings, ethical lapses, and an overall record that would disqualify most people.  That’s where the luck comes in.  Much like landing an inside straight on the river card in Texas hold’em, Paxton drew as his opponent the most bizarre Senate candidate this side of Angie Nixon and Francesca Hong.

ICE recently launched a major crackdown on illegal migrants in and around the nation’s capital. The two-week operation in DC rounded up 1,328 people who are not supposed to be in the United States.

 

400 of them are felons: murderers, rapists, child abusers, on and on.
