U.S. Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and John Cornyn (R-Texas) introduced legislation to reimburse the State of Texas for the more than $11 billion dollars Texas taxpayers spent on Operation Lone Star, Texas’ border security mission launched due to President Biden’s dereliction of duty. Companion legislation is being led in the House by Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas-21). Bill will help the Trump administration ensure Texas never again has to endure an open-border disaster like we saw under Joe Biden.
Governor Greg Abbott today celebrated Texas as the best state for job-creating businesses as Texas again set new records for total jobs, the number of Texans working, and the size of the Texas labor force based on April employment data. With a gain of 215,500 nonfarm jobs over the last 12 months, Texas has added jobs at a faster annual rate than the nation as a whole.
March saw the lowest Border Patrol encounters in decades, just over 7,000 total. That’s a stunning turnaround from the over 11,000 a day we saw under Biden. Tom’s message is clear: when Border Patrol agents are empowered to do their jobs, America is safer. Thank God for Tom Homan and the patriots of the Border Patrol who are helping make our country secure again.
The Charter School Growth Fund is a national nonprofit that invests in visionary education leaders who are building networks of excellent public charter schools. Since its founding, CSGF has supported over 1,600 schools serving more than 725,000 students in 32 states, Washington D.C., and Puerto Rico.

You’ve got to admire the Democrat Party’s innovative plan to center its ideology around contempt for America’s largest ethnic group. If nothing else, the last week or so has demonstrated that the key sacrament of the Democrats has stopped being the murder of little babies and has become the hatred of white people. Since somewhere between 60% and 70% of Americans identify as “white” – the notion of “white” is, like most ethnic categories, ambiguous and ultimately silly – this is, as the kids say, a bold strategy. Let’s see how it works out.
Hard working Americans will be enabled to create better futures for themselves, their families – and all of us. We will achieve things that would have been considered science fiction a decade ago. Buildings will – including many new factories – be built more quickly. Entrepreneurs with new ideas will gain access to more resources – and face fewer obstacles. I've lived through moments like this three times.
The Democrat Party is about to be exposed by what some are predicting as the most damaging insider exposé in modern American political history. Set for release next Tuesday, May 20th, one CNN analyst describes the book's details as a "nuclear bomb" that implicates the entire Democrat Party's leadership as complicit – and its just the first of many tell-all books to come. Its provoking massive tremors across Washington, D.C.
Before Joe Biden and Democrats in Congress passed the "Inflation Reduction Act," the nation's oil & gas producers were able to deduct the same operational costs as most capital-intensive industries in the U.S. – labor, wages, site preparation, repairs, and supplies that account for about 80% of the cost of drilling a well. Biden's policies meant fewer jobs, fewer rigs drilling, and more reliance on imported energy.
It’s Day 115 of President Trump’s 2nd Term. No one has lost their Social Security, Medicare, or Veterans’ Benefits as Democrats predicted or are still trying to claim – or in spite of constant media and leftist lies. And while President Trump is re-setting the nation's relationship in historic fashion with virtually the entire Middle East, a Democrat Milwaukee County Judge was indicted for helping a criminal illegal alien avoid Federal Law Enforcement arrest.
Their Fighting Spirit is rising, but their Common Sense is in the Toilet. So lets talk about “that hill Democrats are choosing to die on.” What is it exactly that's on that hill? HERE's a partial list – and yes, American's perception of "the hill" differs from theirs. But that difference explains Democrats’ record-low Approval Ratings, so what follows is what today's most visible Democrats are doubling-down on. It's their most cherished positions.
President Trump's Attorney General Pam Bondi recently announced one of the largest drug busts in our nation’s history. The Drug Enforcement Administration seized over 25 pounds (11.5 kilos) of fentanyl powder, nearly 3 million fentanyl pills, and arrested 16 Sinaloa Cartel individuals – including six men in the country illegally. President Trump promised he'd secure the Southern Border, put a stop to the flow of drugs flooding our neighborhoods – and he's doing just that.
“When the power of compounding meets the energy of young minds, we’re not just growing portfolios – we’re fostering the next generation of builders, dreamers, and doers,” said Michael Dell, Founder, Chairman & CEO of Dell Technologies as Sen. Ted Cruz introduced his "Invest America Act" legislation. "This will trigger transformative changes for the financial security – and the personal freedoms, of Americans for generations," said Cruz.
“Dirty Jobs” host Mike Rowe often mentions a statistic that I've previously documented. It's the disturbing number of able-bodied men – 6.8 million of them, in fact – who are not working, and not looking for work. This number is unprecedented. Rowe believes that if President Trump can reinvigorate the manufacturing sector, potentially adding another 2 or 3 million new jobs will pose a problem – a two-fold problem: a skills gap, and a will gap.
Leftist commentators are panicked. Last week, Donald Trump unveiled a landmark trade agreement with the United Kingdom that was rightfully billed as a “Special Partnership.” But the deal is more than just ceremonial — it’s opening what promises to be a full-scale realignment of U.S. trade relationships around the globe. America’s enemies will play fair, our allies will be prioritized & invited into more profitable, mutually respectful partnerships, and it's not Rocket Science.
There's likely never been a more historic presidency than that of the Biden-Harris Administration – and by far the most consequential crisis they unleashed is the massive number of Illegal Aliens now embedded within our borders. To date Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) has made some 65,000-odd deportations, which over four years means only 1 million – or about 5% of those eligible – will be deported. In fact, there is a better solution.
Texas is constantly looking for ways to make the Lone Star State an even stronger destination for Small Business & Entrepreneurial Growth – and to keep Texas on path to surpass France as the world's 7th Largest Economy. It's sometimes hard to believe. Already a premiere destination for businesses of all sizes, Gov. Greg Abbott officially declared this week "Small Business Week" to shine a well-deserved spotlight on the true engine driving our economy.
I've spent my career fighting for policies that empower, rather than restrict, Texas Agriculture – and today, autonomous equipment, AI applications, and digital farm management systems represent the future of competitive agriculture. These technologies will depend on Wi-Fi 7, which has been demonstrated to double or potentially triple the throughput of the current generation of Wi-Fi. So for the sake of America's food security, we need more innovation in Texas.
Manufacturing loans are already up 74% under President Trump, and doubling the SBA's Individual Loan Limit from $5 million to $10 million will allow small businesses across the country to access capital, to invest in new equipment, hire new employees, and grow their businesses. "Together, we'll continue to drive the 'America First Agenda' forward and create an environment where Main Street is a priority," said House Small Business Committee Chairman Roger Williams of Texas.
