Greg Abbott today announced grants totaling $5,000,000 each to the Cameron County Spaceport Development Corporation and the Houston Spaceport Development Corporation to help develop the space industry sectors there.

“Forcing compliance like this on 84 million Americans simply because they work for employers that have more than 100 employees was never based on science or on the Constitutional Authority of the Executive Branch," said Texas Cong. Kevin Brady after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the Biden Administration’s proposed imposition of a Vaccine Mandates, which sought to force and use America's corporations to implement Biden's Agenda.

In another stunning loss for President Biden, the U.S. Senate voted in favor of – by a healthy bipartisan majority of 55-44 – Senator Ted Cruz's "Protecting Europe’s Energy Security Implementation Act" to impose immediate sanctions on the Russian government’s Nord Stream 2 pipeline to Europe.

How do you explain why an ultra-experienced politician makes a major speech on the behalf of a legislative goal that's both doomed to fail – and unpopular with voters? Especially when his speech is boycotted by the bill's chief backers and consists of one big lie after another? ​​​​​​​This makes the big lies in Biden's Atlanta speech on Tuesday all the more inexcusable.

​​​​​​​“Not only are the 15 Major Military Installations and the Army Futures Command in Texas critical to our nation’s defense, they also add over $123 billion to the state’s economy and support directly and indirectly over 633,000 jobs across the state. That's why I'll continue to work to ensure our military installations continue to add unmatched value,” said Gov. Greg Abbott.

"President Biden's and the House Democrats’ socialist policies and out of control spending are not working for the American people," said Cong. Williams after it was announced that 2021 was the worst year for inflation since 1981. Real wages have decreased under Biden in 8 out of 11 months since his taking office, while the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased at its fastest rate since June 1982. 

In early 2021 an upbeat Joe Biden boasted he would end the COVID virus by the summer of 2021 - by following "the science," no less. But then a series of renewed COVID-19 outbreaks hit, helping further destroy Biden's already waning popularity. In reaction, the Left is now calling for realism - and is even newly curious about the origins of the virus and the need to "get back to normal."

As Consumer Prices increased by the the largest annual rate since June 1982, experts now say they fear a wage-price spiral could raise costs even more in the future – heaping further pressure on President Joe Biden and Congressional Democrats to address what has become the biggest threat to the U.S. economy in decades. Home Food Prices have risen 6.5% over the last 12 months.

“Our government was created to protect our liberties — not take them away — and I will continue to fight against anything that would grant this company the ability to seize rural landowners’ property without their consent,” said Cong.

Let me be clear: There's no health or safety excuse whatsoever for Teachers & Students not to be in the classroom – as the first wave of COVID-19 should have taught us. Yet in Chicago an incredible 91% of union teachers voted to go on strike. Even Chicago's liberal Democrat Mayor Lori Lightfoot has attacked the Teachers Unions for "holding kids hostage." She is right.

"The Biden Jobs Deficit – the difference between jobs created and those he promised to create as part of his so-called 'stimulus' – has metastasized... In fact, studies show the jobs recovery was held back by Democrats’ economic policies," said Cong. Kevin Brady, responded to the job progress report that showed only 199,000 jobs were created in December – less than half of what had been expected.
