“As a lifelong conservative who loves this country, I’m running for Congress to fight for the principles that make Texas and America great,” said Mark Teixeira, who also played for the Atlanta Braves, Texas Rangers and Los Angeles Angels in a 14-year major league career, as he announced his candidacy.

“It takes teamwork to win. I’m ready to help defend President Trump’s America First agenda, Texas families and individual freedom,” he continued.

The political side of Texeira

Teixeira, 45, will run to represent Texas’ 21st District, located in the Lone Star State’s Hill Country north of San Antonio and west of Austin.

The seat is currently held by Republican Rep. Chip Roy, who announced last week that he will run for Texas attorney general in 2026 to replace the current officeholder, Ken Paxton.

In his campaign announcement, the former slugger promised to “work with President Trump to secure the border, grow the economy, end radical progressive indoctrination, promote American energy independence, defend life and the Second Amendment, end endless wars and strengthen the military.”

During his time in the Bronx, Teixeira won three Gold Gloves for his work at first base and was named to the American League All-Star team twice. He retired after the 2016 season, his last with the Yankees.

Canelo Alvarez is singled out as the cause of eliminating emotions in the super middleweight division

Canelo Alvarez has been the king of the super middleweights since 2018, when he won his first title in the 168-pound division. During this time he has faced opponents with different qualities and has beaten them clearly, although since 2019 he has not achieved a knockout victory or since 2021 by TKO. For several boxing analysts, this is because Canelo has had opponents who are not up to the level of a world champion. His last six fights have been won by "unanimous decision".On September 13, the Mexican will defend his belts against the four-time world champion, Terence Crawford, in Las Vegas, Nevada, in a fight that could clear his name from criticism from experts and fans alike. However, the American belongs to the welterweight division (147 pounds) which means having to move up three divisions to face Canelo Alvarez, […]

Karrueche Tran confirms relationship with Deion Sanders in a subtle but forceful way

Karrueche Tran has long been the subject of speculation when it comes to her personal life, but her latest remarks have all but confirmed what many suspected, she is happily dating, and the man in question appears to be none other than NFL legend and Colorado football coach Deion Sanders.The actress and model joined her friend Christina Milian on the What's Next with J. Ryan podcast, where the host pressed her about recent rumors linking her to the world of football. "Is she dating right now?" Ryan asked, before slyly adding, "I saw that you took a liking into football recently."Tran, 37, paused with a smile before answering simply, "Yeah, I'm dating." When asked if she was enjoying herself, she didn't hesitate. "If I wasn't having fun, I wouldn't be in it," she said, while Milian jokingly chimed in with, […]

Micah Parsons strikes again at Jerry Jones with a warning following his multi-million dollar deal with the Packers

The Dallas Cowboys spent months insisting they would not budge on Micah Parsons' contract demands. Now, their former defensive cornerstone is suiting up in green and gold, armed with a record-breaking contract and a few pointed words that leave little doubt about where the breakdown began.Parsons, traded to the Green Bay Packers in one of the most stunning moves of the offseason, signed a four-year, $188 million deal that instantly made him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. The deal includes $120 million guaranteed at signing and a $44 million signing bonus, numbers that underline just how far Dallas was from meeting his value. For the 26-year-old, the new chapter is not just about money, it's about respect."I would never leave the best agent in the world! It's just that simple!" Parsons wrote on X, thanking agent David Mulugheta for […]

Těžká chvíle pro Muchovou. Zaskočil ji bývalý přítel, rozhozená tenistka ho prosila, aby opustil hlediště

Kdo ví, jak by zápas dopadl, pokud by Muchová neustála nepříjemný moment ze šestého gamu úvodní sady za stavu 1:4. Devětadvacetiletá hráčka za stavu 30:30 začala gestikulovat do hlediště, po vyhrané výměně se jí oči zalily slzami, takže chvíli nemohla pokračovat. „Jste v pořádku?“ ptala se sudí na umpireu a Muchová naznačila, že ano. Po gamu si ještě utřela obličej ručníkem. Komentátoři zápasu spekulovali, zda obhájkyně semifinále nemá nějaké zdravotní potíže, ale problém byl psychického rázu.„Netýká se to tenisu, takže se o tom nerada bavím. Ale naproti mé lavičce si sednul můj expřítel, který se občas objevuje na místech, kde by neměl být a kde jsem já. Takže mě to trošku vystrašilo, ale řekla jsem mu, jestli může jít pryč. Nešel, ale potom odešel. Bylo pro mě těžké se soustředit v ten moment na tenis,“ sdělila Muchová v New Yorku zpravodaji serveru Tenisový svět.První sadu nakonec dotáhla do […]
