In 2023, it's estimated that 19,710 women will be diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer – and of those diagnosed, 13,270 women will die. Due to the mortality rate, it is important to know about ovarian cancer so people can be educated about the risk factors, along with the signs. It is the number one cause of cancer-related death among women.

Our nation is faced with the most consequential decisions since the 1860's when President Abraham Lincoln and Congress worked together to save the Union – and government of the people, by the people, and for the people. As an historian, political leader, former Speaker of the U.S. House and a citizen, I want to share with you where I think we are as of September 2023.

"The negative impacts of this rule are tremendous. We will continue to fight for the rights of Texas' Farmers & Ranchers,” said Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller after President Biden's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) bypassed Standard Public Comment Period protocol to issue a "Final Rule" for implementation of the Waters of the U.S. (WOTUS) Program without citizen input.

No wonder Democrats are sounding the Alarm Bells – 3 key groups they can't afford to lose now say the country's doing worse under Joe Biden's leadership. A full 73% of women say the country is doing badly, while only 27% say its doing well. That's crushing for Biden, who won females by 15% in 2020. Hispanics say the nation's doing badly by a 66% to 34% margin, and then there's Independents...

When asked the "Right Track-Wrong Track" question about the current state of the country, just 34% of "Likely Voters" believe President Biden has us headed in the right direction. And, 56% of "Likely Georgia Voters" say they believe the prosecution of Donald Trump's being "unfairly handled" by Fulton County D.A. Fani Willis, including 39% who say it’s "Very Likely" unfair.

“We've now seen days with more than 10,000 migrants encountered. Our local border communities are not equipped to deal with this and should not be forced to bear the burden of this administration’s failed border policies,” said Cong. Juan Ciscomani, as CBP Officers in El Paso, Arizona & Southern California began "street releases" along the nation's southern border.

Ford President & CEO Jim Farley suggested last week – ahead of the United Auto Workers (UAW) strike – that his company couldn’t pay workers what they wanted because of the company's rapidly growing costs of transitioning to Electric Vehicles. Earlier this summer Ford announced they expect to lose a staggering $4.5 billion on electric vehicles this year, up from the initial $3 billion loss forecast earlier in the year.

The most chilling fact is, this came from the White House Counsel’s Office. ​​​​​​​This is not the Press Office, but a Counsellor to the President calling on the nation's media to “ramp up their scrutiny” and form a unified front against House Republicans impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden. And, the White House shows no reluctance or concern in making such an open pitch.

"We all knew this was an incredibly dangerous, but outrageous situation," said Mark Penley, who served as then-Attorney General Ken Paxon's Deputy Attorney General for Criminal Justice. "The agency was being abused, the laws were being abused... We were the only ones who could stop it – and we had to," said Penley.

With Congress now back in session in Washington, D.C., a recent Texas Legislative Rural Caucus letter to Sen. Ted Cruz highlights the importance of the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program that has transitioned into the Affordable Connectivity Program. It's a program designed to benefit rural communities across Texas, and the families who live there.

There's a huge difference between true caring, and indignant self-righteousness. It's a fact many of the mayors of "Sanctuary Cities" across America are learning. Their once holier-than-thou attitudes have now dissipated into whining. Their smugness has been replaced with poor me syndrome. They are beginning to understand the full weight of the #BidenBorderCrisis.

“President Biden has established a secret nuclear deal with the Iranian regime that is being kept from Congress and the American people – including a $6 billion ransom and release of Iranian operatives. These are only the barest outlines of the staggering concessions Biden has already made and intends to make to the Ayatollah, including an additional $10 billion transfer," said Cruz.

"Joe Biden’s war on domestic energy is absurd and he's prohibiting oil production and drilling on millions of acres of oil-rich U.S. land. Russia and Saudi Arabia – who seek to disrupt our economy and take advantage when America shows weakness – are deliberately cutting their energy output to hurt us," said Cong. Brian Babin of the new regulations.

“From clinical counseling, to home modification, these Fund for Veterans’ Assistance grants will help bolster resources for veterans in our Gulf Coast Communities. Texas will never forget the sacrifice and service that veterans and their families made for our state and nation,” said ​​​​​​Gov. Greg Abbott, announcing 31 FVA grants totaling over $6.9 million for 26 Gulf Coast area organizations.

For years the Biden White House has advocated for the censorship of online political speech it doesn’t like, and partnered with Big Tech to get the job done. U.S. District Court Judge Terry A. Doughty said this collusion was, “the most massive attack against free speech in United States’ history.” They got away with it, swiping factual stories about COVID-19, election integrity, Hunter Biden, and much more.

​​​​​​​“While the federal government refuses to safeguard Texas communities, the General Land Office will step up and assist our state in its robust border security efforts,” said Texas Land Comm.

A federal judge earlier this month – Obama appointee Judge Robin L. Rosenberg – dismissed a lawsuit brought by a Florida attorney that attempted to disqualify Donald Trump from running for president (under the 14th Amendment) for allegedly fomenting "an insurrection" after the 2020 Election. Mr. Trump, however, has not been charged with "insurrection," nor convicted of any crime.
