Governor Greg Abbott celebrated Texas as America’s jobs leader with today’s U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics employment release showing Texas led all states with a gain of 43,400 nonfarm jobs over the month of June. Texas also led for jobs gained over the last 12 months. The Texas labor force totaled 15,904,900 with a gain of 29,700 people over that period. Texas has gained more than 2.6 million jobs since January 2015 when Governor Abbott took office.
Wayne Christian voiced his support for the joint directive issued by Texas Governor Greg Abbott, Lt. Governor Dan Patrick, and Speaker Dustin Burrows, which requires state agencies and institutions of higher education to review and reduce their base Legislative Appropriations Requests (LARs) by 3% for the 2028–29 biennium. The directive reflects a responsible approach to lowering government spending while maintaining the state’s commitment to delivering meaningful property tax relief for Texans.
We've had some major run-ins with Michael Bloomberg when he was New York City mayor, spreading climate change gloom and doom and taxing Big Gulps. But his 12 years as mayor were a sanity-filled paradise compared to the "collectivism" agenda being promoted by Zohran Mamdani. Bloomberg is sounding like Adam Smith these days ringing the alarm against government ownership of key business sectors.
Texas Land Commissioner and Veterans Land Board (VLB) Chairwoman Dawn Buckingham, M.D., encourages Veterans, Military Members, and their families to attend the Collin County Veterans Expo on Saturday, July 25, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Allen Senior Recreation Center hosted by the VLB, the Texas Veterans Commission (TVC), and Credit Union of Texas (CUTX).
But now we can see what happens when governors really care about children and families, put learning as their priority, and let the marketplace work to give parents freedom to choose what they see as best for their kids. Under the leadership of Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Arkansas set up its Education Freedom Accounts program, establishing a platform through which parents have available scholarship funding to use to choose where to send their children to school.
Journalists are supposed to be in the business of reporting "Facts & Truths." Yeah right. Allowing leftist politicians to get by with hiding their anti-American attacks under the "Mis-Information" cloak (remember that media whopper?) of the "Democrat Party" is bias of the worst kind. It advances a lie, AND cover for the destruction that's taking over the election. It will destroy America from within. Democrats want a "Socialist" Nation — a Marxist/Communist Nation — they just don’t want to let on because they know it’s too soon for voters to accept.
He may be a New York Times "conservative," but on this one, Bret Stephens is right on target. On the ‘The Fifth Column’ podcast, Stephens skillfully shoots down the "Gaza is Genocide" war cry that’s been playing nonstop among Leftist Circles. It's one of the main drivers of the Socialist's anti-Jewish shift in the Democrat Party — and you already know this, but the flawed narrative that Israel is committing genocide is deeply ingrained in the minds of Democrats, especially the young ones.
"The next wave of technology and innovation shouldn’t come at the expense of hardworking Americans. Our outdated Energy Grid is already in desperate need of modernization, and isn't prepared to take on the power demands of data centers without impacting the wallets of our citizens," said Cong. Byron Donalds, introducing the "Protecting Ratepayers Act" to ensure private developers, rather than American taxpayers, bear the costs of data center developments while advancing the nation's technological dominance.
“We are now transitioning into the process of cleanup and rebuilding. We've identified about 490 homes that sustained damage. If you want to donate to assist your fellow Texans who've been affected by these horrific floods, please go to rebuildtx.org,” offered Gov. Abbott, after surveying flood-damaged communities by helicopter and providing an update on Texas’ ongoing response to the severe floods of last week. "The state is working with local officials to expedite debris removal and accelerate the rebuilding process," said Abbott.
Lindsey was a fearless patriot, a devoted public servant, and one of the fiercest advocates for America’s national security. He loved this country deeply, and he dedicated his life to defending it. For years, I had the privilege of serving alongside Lindsey in the Senate. We fought shoulder to shoulder for conservative judges, stood together with our allies, and never wavered in confronting America’s adversaries. Senator Graham was one of the most formidable foes America’s enemies faced in the United States Senate.
Texas has set yet another record for total jobs in the state, after a gain of 43,400 jobs were filled during the month of June, outpacing the National Annual Growth Rate to reach a new high of 14,469,600 total jobs (nonfarm). And, Gov. Abbott celebrated as Saronic Technologies announced it will construct a Next-Generation Shipyard in Brownsville, which is slated to become the nation's largest shipyard. Called Port Alpha, the shipyard and advanced manufacturing facility will create 10,000 new jobs.
Last week, I traveled to Ukraine to meet with Ukrainian troops near the front lines, receive an award from President Zelensky, observe drone operations, and hold robust discussions with several other government officials and military leaders. As I was on the train from Kyiv to Warsaw, I received the devastating news that Senator Lindsey Graham had passed away. Senator Graham was a visionary, a courageous patriot, and a personal mentor and friend.
I proudly voted YES on both the House Rule attaching the legislation to the FY27 National Security, State Department, and Related Programs Appropriations Bill and on final passage, which cleared the House by a vote of 217-209. The SAVE America Act would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections, require photo identification to vote in federal elections, strengthen voter roll verification, and provide clear guidance to states for implementing these protections.
Democrats hate this country. And, they hate you if you don’t also hate this country. They will also do anything to avoid you continuing to live free in this country – up to and including murdering you – because that’s who they are. If Russia or China offered to help them seize power, they’d take the deal no matter what they asked for in return. After 250 years, one of our political parties has become infested with traitors the way an old dead tree becomes infested with termites.
“With over 150,000 borrowers suspended from SBA Programs across five states to date – representing over $10 billion in suspected fraud in just those five states – we are actively working with Law Enforcement and the U.S. Treasury Dept. to deliver accountability and recoup stolen funds,” said SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler earlier this week, announcing the suspension of borrowers in California, Ohio, Maine, Minnesota & Wisconsin.
If you’re wondering why terrible people such as Graham Platner think they can run for major public office these days, this is why: One of the two major parties in the U.S. succeeded 30-odd years ago in persuading the American people to stop caring about the moral character of public men. It was all done in the service of one man – who today (along with his wife) is still revered among the Democrat faithful. They kept the drumbeat up for eight solid years, and the beneficiary was Bill Clinton.
Over the 4th of July weekend, hundreds of Somali youth in Minneapolis went on a crime spree. Its been a growing problem in Minneapolis for years – and County Sheriff Bob Fletcher has had enough. Sheriff Fletcher blasted the media for not covering the “out of control” violence, warning “If the community stays in denial about this problem, those 300 kids running in gang circles are going to turn into 900 kids.” That same message could be said of the entire United States.
Every eligible child born between January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2028 receives a $1,000 seed deposit from the U.S. Treasury to kick-start their account, and I recommend taking advantage of the program. With contributions from Family, Friends & Employers helping the funds grow tax-deferred over time, families across the country have invested $125 million in America's newborn children. It is an incredible opportunity to set your child up for financial success.
