"We demand answers on how much of the $20 billion Congress provided FEMA for Disaster Assistance still remains. Rather than keeping FEMA focused on disaster assistance, the Biden-Harris White House used millions to fund a separate FEMA 'Shelter & Service Program,' which forces taxpayers to shoulder costs associated with illegal immigrants. Also, President Biden & Vice President Harris have touted 'lower crime' rates, which we now know the FBI's statistics prove to be false. In reality, robberies, rapes & murders were all on the rise."
"Since I've been Governor, Texas has added over 2.4 million new jobs – more Texans are working now than ever before in the history of our great state, and we'll continue to expand that job growth," said Gov. Greg Abbott, celebrating the unrivaled strength of the Texas economy after September's Employment Data showed Texas again outpacing the nation in Annual Job Growth – with 327,400 nonfarm jobs added the past 12 months. Texas also set new record highs for total jobs, the number of Texans working, and the size of the Texas Labor Force.
"This facility is transformative – not only for the Uvalde Community, which has endured so much suffering, but for the entire State of Texas. The new Behavioral Health Campus will connect 32 Texas Counties with 24/7 access to professional mental health services,” said Cong. Tony Gonzales (TX-23) as he participated as a guest speaker at the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Uvalde Regional Behavioral Health Campus. Gonzales secured $2 million for the construction of the campus through his role on the House Appropriations Committee.
“Texas continues to outpace the nation in year-over-year nonfarm growth, with more than 327,000 jobs added since September 2023,” said Texas Workforce Commission Chairman Bryan Daniel, after Texas’ latest labor market figures set a new record in September for actual job count, and number of people in the civilian labor force. Texas’ seasonally adjusted total nonfarm employment increased to 14,289,900 after 29,200 jobs were added over the month. Texas added 327,400 jobs from September 2023 to September 2024.
In Pennsylvania, Republicans have a far greater ballot-chasing effort going. In Arizona last week, MSNBC reporter Vaughan Hillyard admitted his team couldn't find a single voter in line to cast Early Ballots who admitted voting for Kamala Harris. Despite numbers revealing how well Republicans are doing in some of the Battleground States – i.e., the numbers posted at NBC, which are obtained from Democrat-affiliated data company TargetSmart — in Arizona, Georgia & Nevada the numbers are even more depressing for Democrats.
Gasoline prices have nearly doubled, and restaurant and grocery store costs have shot upward as well. And, the Joe Biden & Kamala Harris White House (and everyone associated with the Democrat Party – including the press,) proudly touted "Bidenomics." They don’t do that much anymore. If elections come down to “It’s the Economy, Stupid,” then clueless Kamala will lose. Can Donald Trump really be at a point, as it now appears, to be the candidate who can settle back, keep his mouth shut if he can, and roll to victory? Can no one can blow it but him?
Arrests of Illegal Border Crossers at the U.S. Southern Border jumped from around 60,000 per month when Donald Trump left office to over 200,000 per month under President Joe Biden. The numbers peaked at nearly 250,000 in December 2023. In Wednesday's Fox News "Town Hall" with host Harris Faulkner, Trump said the Biden & Kamala Harris White House is helping immigrants bypass the border to “fly them over in airplanes.” The process is known as "parole," and has been used at a staggering rate the past two years according to Federal Data.
Yesterday's headline read: "Top Democrats in Pennsylvania Not Happy with Harris Campaign: 'Everybody's Very Nervous.'" And now, according to the latest Detroit Chamber of Commerce Poll, a full 47% of Michigan "Registered Voters" believe the State’s Economy is on the “wrong track”, while 55% of "Likely Michigan Voters" tell the New York Times-Siena Poll they trust Donald Trump more on economic matters. The nation's Battleground State Voters are clearly frustrated – and getting pummeled by the Biden-Harris regime's policies.
Current U.S. immigration laws do not allow illegal immigrants who overstay their visas to reenter the United States for up to 10 years if they leave, and those who illegally enter the U.S. are not allowed to reenter at all. The law also requires that temporary visa applicants interview abroad at a U.S. consulate before they can receive their visas, so illegal immigrants are not eligible to regularize their status using the temporary visa programs.
It's no secret the U.S. is in the worst border crisis in the nation's history, with more than 11 million illegal encounters on our Southern Border – five times as many as under Donald Trump. But the threats to U.S. national security go well beyond our borders mow. Earlie this month, a suspected ISIS Terrorist was arrested in Oklahoma after planning to stage an attack on American voters this Election Day. Why was such an individual even here? The suspected terrorist was one of 76,000 refugees that were brought to the U.S. after Afghanistan collapsed.
Starr County is part of the Border Patrol’s Rio Grande Valley Sector. This border sector has recorded thousands upon thousands of migrant encounters and asylum-seekers crossing the Rio Grande from Mexico into South Texas since January 2020. Fronton Island, a 170 acre located in Starr County, was declared Texas land last year by Commissioner Buckingham. Since being fortified by DPS and the Texas Military Department, crime on this border hotspot has dropped to nothing.
"I'm proud our state is home to more than 1.3 million women business owners, making Texas a top state for women-owned businesses," said Texas' 1st Lady Cecilia Abbott today, touting the Lone Star State's "Small Business Summit—New Braunfels" that aims to help women-owned small businesses and aspiring female entrepreneurs reach new heights in their business journey. The Summit brings together Local, State & Federal resource partners to provide key insights on critical business topics – and actionable advice on a multitude of small business topics.
Obama said: "My understanding, based on reports I'm getting from campaigns and communities, is that we have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in all quarters of our neighborhoods and communities as we saw when I was running. (This lack of enthusiasm) seems to be more pronounced with the brothers." He also said, "(black) women in our lives have been getting our backs this entire time." Presumably, this does not apply to his devoted.
According to some Democrats on the ground, Kamala Harris may be fumbling her chance to win the crucial Swing State of Pennsylvania – and many are already second-guessing the campaign even as the race is in progress. “Pennsylvania is such a mess, and it’s incredibly frustrating,” said one, who would identify themselves to Politico on Wednesday only as a “state Democrat elected official.” Another Pennsylvania Democrat strategist said Harris's campaign “empowers a culture” that leaves local officials feeling neglected. Latino leaders are particularly worried.
Earlier this year, the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party outlined five core threats from China – and why the U.S. Government must take action to address them. Their report detailed how the “CCP shockingly subsidizes fentanyl exports,” and here in Texas communities across the state have personally felt the impacts of drugs flowing across Southern border, thanks in large part to China’s role in fueling the epidemic. Chinese spyware has also infiltrated American homes through everyday pieces of hardware, including WiFi routers.
America, including millions of Democrats, were amazed over the weekend by former President Barack Obama’s blatantly racist appeal to young black men in Pittsburgh. At a rally for Kamala Harris, Obama essentially charged that failing to vote for Harris would be a dereliction of their duty as black men. To make things worse, the opinion wasn’t delivered as a petition – but as belligerent instruction, as though the men he was addressing were delinquent children who needed to be given orders. It's a reminder of how Democrats are racially divisive.
The unsteadiness and insecurity that were on display when she became the first candidate to embarrassingly flame out of 2020's Presidential Primary are presenting a deja vu moment. Its a moment of clarity where voters, major donors, and Democrat power brokers are being reminded of Kamala Harris's failings in 2024. I've spoken with three Democrat operatives behind the scenes who all believe the race is slipping away from her, and they offer four major reasons why it's happening. Much will come into focus over the next three weeks – sharply.
Fentanyl is the No. 1 killer of Americans ages 18-45. Knowing how to recognize the signs of fentanyl poisoning and having open conversations about the drug's dangers can help save a life. Texas’ comprehensive ‘One Pill Kills’ campaign is raising awareness about fentanyl's deadly consequences, and helps educate Texans on how to prevent, recognize, and reverse fentanyl poisonings to protect a family member, friend or neighbor. "These Angel Moms – all of you – are making a difference. It takes extraordinary strength," said Gov. Abbott.
