If you are the candidate of the incumbent White House, and only 23% of Americans think the economy is "good" or "improving," you have a huge problem. And pablum about your childhood as a "middle-class kid" is not the answer Americans want to hear. No matter how often the propaganda media puffs Kamala Harris up, Americans go to the Grocery Store & Gas Station every day, and are reminded of who made everything too expensive.
In Fort Worth earlier today, Governor Greg Abbott swore in the the first, and newly appointed, judges to the Texas Business Courts which were created by the State Legislature last year to provide an efficient mechanism for business to resolve complex commercial disputes in Texas. Gov. Abbott was joined by Texas Supreme Court Justice Jeff Boyd and Justice Evan Young, Senator Phil King, Representatives Davis Cook, Jeff Leach and Andrew Murr, as well as County Judge Tim O’Hare, and Ft. Worth Mayor Mattie Parker.
This legislation is part of my effort as the Chairman of the Government Operations and the Federal Workforce Subcommittee to eliminate waste and increase productivity in government agencies. Efficiency in government agencies is essential for taxpayers and government employees alike. By identifying areas where federal employees in supervisory positions need support, this survey will ensure our government is working effectively for our citizens.

Texas’ annual nonfarm growth rate currently sits at 2.2 percent, outpacing the U.S. growth rate by 0.7 percentage points.
Cynically running out the clock has been the overarching principle of her entire abbreviated 105-day presidential campaign. Kamala Harris – ever since President Joe Biden,at the 11th hour dropped out in July – seems unwilling or unable to answer any impromptu question that she's not been previously prepped for. Her answers are memorized and canned. They never address the questions asked. She's certainly not running on experience, vision, or intelligence.
“The passage of this bipartisan bill will put laws on the books that protect the most vulnerable children among us. The 'Find & Protect Foster Youth Act' will improve communication between State & Federal Agencies to help find missing foster children, and will strengthen reporting standard and investigations if missing foster youth were victims of abuse, sex trafficking, and other forms of harm.,” said Congressman Tony Gonzales’ (R-TX-23).
In addition to considering the “lowest overall cost alternative,” Congressman Byron Donalds's (R-FL) "Value Over Cost Act" would provide the U.S. General Services Agency with the flexibility to modernize the Federal Government's antiquated procurement procedures and maximize it’s ability to procure modern technology and help small businesses by reducing the regulatory burdens involved in awarding contracts.
Today, the Democratic platform no longer reflects the beliefs of middle-class, God-fearing, everyday Americans, but instead caters to a small but loud minority of radicals who have hijacked the party. One of the most alarming shifts has been the Democratic Party’s wholehearted embrace of transgender ideology, which has become the new religion of the Left, demanding blind faith and allegiance.
“Texans are forever indebted to our veterans and their families for the sacrifices they've made, and Texas is proud to offer crucial services to support the brave men and women who selflessly served in our nation's military,” said Gov. Greg Abbott, announcing the latest round of "Fund for Veterans’ Assistance" Grants to eight West Texas organizations that will benefit over 2,100 veterans and their families across 23 counties.
Robby Starbuck is reminding Corporate America of the fundamental insight that risk-management and brand intelligence should consider "wokeness" as an uncertainty and threat. He is helping businesses anticipate and mitigate harm by considering two separate tracks: Personnel Management & Consumer Sentiment – and perhaps his most tangible victory has been to convince companies to stop sharing information with the Human Right’s Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index.
With the issues of inflation, rising prices, and family financial struggles fresh on voter's minds, 52% of "Likely Voters" say they believe Kamala Harris is more likely to raise taxes if elected president, while 25% think she is more likely to lower them. And according to the latest Rasmussen Reports National Survey, 55% said Harris deserves "a lot of" or "some of the blame" for the failures of Biden-Harris White House. Struggling to separate herself from Joe Biden, 78% of "Likely Voters" believe she should do more news media interviews.
Our nation's citizens and culture ought to be in shock – but it seems otherwise. Journalists write their reports. Opinionators opine. Kamala condemns political violence and Joe says, “There's no place for political violence.” Meanwhile, everyone picks up where they left off – warning that Trump and his MAGA voters pose "grave threats" to everything true, good, and beautiful. After eight years of being fed a steady diet of “there is no one left who can stop him,” what are vulnerable Americans to conclude?
H.R. 7980, the End Chinese Dominance of Electric Vehicles in America Act of 2024, takes bold steps to reverse this. The bill closes the ‘Chinese Billionaire Loophole’ and the ‘Chinese Manufacturing Loophole,’ ensuring that EV credits are only available for vehicles free from critical components sourced from FEOCs. This bill is a huge step forward in breaking China’s dominance over our EV market and protecting America’s advanced manufacturing capabilities.
Governor Greg Abbott today announced that Texas is launching a comprehensive, statewide operation that will aggressively target the dangerous Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA) to disrupt their criminal operations and deny their foothold in the state during a press conference in Houston. The Governor also designated TdA as a foreign terrorist organization, directing DPS to elevate them to a Tier 1 gang and to create a TdA Strike Team that will identify and arrest TdA gang members.
Last week, we saw an hour and a half of Kamala Harris blaming Donald Trump for the results of HER and Joe Biden’s failed policies – while dodging direct questions and offering zero solutions. Everything she said was outright lies and flip-flopping on nearly every policy position she's ever held. Trump was the overwhelming debate winner. With his solid track record of border security, low crime, a thriving economy, and maintaining a bold presence on the world stage, he will save America from ruin.
The Medal of Honor is the United States’ highest military decoration. There are only 61 living recipients. U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, filed the Monetary Enhancement for Distinguished Active Legends (MEDAL) Act. The MEDAL Act increase the monthly pension for living Medal of Honor recipients to $100,000 annually.
"I'm living with my father. He's retired, on a fixed income, and he can't afford the basic needs. He is struggling – and inflation doesn't care if your income isn't increasing. It just keeps on increasing. I think it's important to add that those grocery costs, or gas costs, have never gone down either," said 22-year-old Douglas Hohman from Penn Hills, Pennsylvania. So, what party did Hohman recently register for? Republican. "I really regret not voting in 2020. I now understand that every vote does count."
Democrats want their low-information base to be at a constant fever pitch when it comes to Donald Trump. They have lied to make him History's Greatest Monster – and their incurious base gobbles up the Trump Derangement Syndrome prevarication and processes it as white-hot hate that never wanes. And the closer he comes to winning the election, the hotter it gets. That much I know is intentional. In reality, Democrats have a well-documented track record of wishing illness and death upon those who don't agree with them.
