It looks like Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) is Texas Tech's bad luck charm.

Cruz tweeted a selfie yesterday from the NCAA championship game at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis and observed that Texas Tech held a 1-point lead with 35 seconds left in regulation.

"35 Seconds. ONE Point LEAD. GO RED RAIDERS!!! #1 Defense," he wrote.

But Cruz spoke too soon, and Texas Tech fans claimed he jinxed the game after the team was defeated in an 85-77 overtime victory by Virginia.

Cruz didn't address the roasting, but he did praise Texas Tech in a tweet afterward.

"A heartbreaking loss, but an AMAZING game," he wrote.

This isn't the first time Cruz has made (rather hilarious headlines) for being a jinx.

Last year, his #ClutchCity tweet during Game 7 of the Warriors/Rockets series last year was also roasted.

Fans said the tweet was the reason for Houston missing 27 straight attempts from 3-point range in defeat.

Poor Senator Cruz. He just can't win.

Ann Coulter Faces Fierce Backlash After Saying 'We Didn't Kill Enough Indians' In Deleted Post

Far-right provocateur Ann Coulter is facing fierce criticism after she made a genocidal remark in a now-deleted post on X in response to University of Minnesota professor and Navajo Nation member Melanie Yazzie's speech about colonization.

Yazzie, in a speech at last year's annual Socialism Conference, said "decolonization is the only thing that is going to save us as a species" during a panel hosted by Red Nation, a Native American nonprofit that advocates for Palestinian and Native American rights. She also said that the United States is the "greatest predator empire that has ever existed" and said it should be dismantled.

Fox News Host Jessica Tarlov Slams Jesse Watters For Hypocrisy About Deadly Texas Floods

Speaking on Fox News' The Five, Jessica Tarlov called out her co-host Jesse Watters for not holding President Donald Trump accountable for the ongoing deadly floods in Texas as he did former President Joe Biden during Hurricane Helene last year.

The flash flood disaster has claimed the lives of at least 110 people as of this writing. Among the victims were 27 campers and counselors from Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp along the banks of the Guadalupe River. Officials warn that the death toll is likely to rise as search and rescue efforts continue amid widespread devastation.
