While we don't typically cite poll results, we can't help but highlight a few of the latest findings from a new Harvard-Harris Poll of March 2nd. Here's why: 1.) They surprised us, and 2.) Oh wait, what's this... they also run contrary & opposite to the media's ongoing mis-information campaign they're mis-presenting to the American Public. For starters, 53% of Voters trust President Trump over Democrats to manage the Economy, 52% say the Economy's better than under Trump than Biden, and 75% want to deport Illegal Immigrant Criminals.

The Highway Trust Fund (HTF) is a federal funding mechanism that receives revenue from transportation-related taxes – primarily federal fuel taxes – and provides funding for Highways Surface Transportation. The "Highway Formula Fairness Act" would ensure that all states, including Texas, receive at least 95% of their HTF contributions. “Texas is the second-largest contributor to the Highway Trust Fund, yet it's received a smaller share relative to its contributions than any other state," said Sen. Ted Cruz.

Most students of history have likely pondered the question: Is it the times that make the man, or is it the man that makes the times? Rarest of all is the man who is summoned and elevated by the times, and also has the courage and conviction to shape the times in return. It is the lattermost group who are the truly great men of history. Tehran's "death to America" chants since 1979 have been daily, and its anti-American atrocities legion. With "Operation Epic Fury," President Trump isn't starting a new forever war — he's ending one.

Let's start with this: “Radicalized white men are the greatest Domestic Terrorist Threat in our country,” says James Talarico. He's called the Bible’s view on abortion “pro-choice.” Hispanic Catholics will love how he called Mary, the mother of Jesus, “an oppressed peasant teenage girl living in poverty.” He says his skin color “gives me and every White American immunity from the virus” of racism that “we spread it wherever we go.” Oh – and he's currently attending Presbyterian Seminary in Austin.

“They have roughly 10,000 kilograms of material – roughly 460 kilograms of 60% Enriched Uranium, and another 1,000 kilograms of 20% Enriched Uranium. The 60% materials can be brought to 90% – that’s weapon grade, weapons grade – in roughly one week, maybe 10 days at the outside... Both the Iranian negotiators said to us – with no shame – they controlled 460 kilograms of 60%, and they’re aware that could make 11 nuclear bombs,” Witkoff said. "That was the beginning of their negotiating stance."

The Democrats don’t want you to know this. The strike on Iran was about stopping an imminent bloodbath: “We had analysis that told us, if we sat back and waited to get hit first, the amount of casualties and damage would be substantially higher than if we acted in a preemptive, defensive way to prevent those launches. We are not going to be held hostage by them, and we are not going to let them hit us first.”

Sure, failure is cooked into Democrat's crazy liberal policies – but how many times do they have to fail before Americans see that California's a disaster, New York's being pummeled by a Socialist Mayor, and dozens of weekend murders in Chicago have gone on for years? The Left's brought us Open Borders, Transgender Insanity, High Crime & Taxes – possibly even acne. Do they love misery? And why don’t we give it up?

Governor Greg Abbott announced an expansion by Sika Corporation in Sealy as a qualified project under the Texas Jobs, Energy, Technology, and Innovation (JETI) program. Sika will expand its manufacturing operations of PVC single-ply commercial roofing membranes in Austin County. The project represents more than $90 million in capital investment and will create 60 jobs.

“No one who enters the U.S. illegally should get to enjoy our God-given Constitutional Rights – including the right to keep and bear arms,” said Sen. Cornyn, as he, Sen. Ted Budd (R-NC) and others introduced the "Stop Illegal Alien Cops Act" which would close a loophole in current law to prohibit illegal aliens from possessing firearms or ammunition provided to them by a government entity.

The first year of the second Trump Administration has been about getting this country back on track – restoring law and order at our border, a strong military, and a resilient economy.  I was proud to hear the President lay it out clearly. America is stronger when we stand firm, secure our homeland, back the men and women who wear the uniform, and unleash the full strength of our economy.

The Texas Coastal Roundup will take place at Galveston's East Beach – also known as R.A. Apffel Park – and is a free, family-friendly event that will allow interaction with ocean critters, showcase interactive GLO & Local Organizations exhibits and demonstrations, and give away tons of free educational swag. There will also be a kid zone, door prize drawings, face painters, and food trucks. Free and paid parking is available onsite. 

It truly is something to behold, the way President Donald Trump plays these Democrats like a cat swats around a mouse. The only difference in that dynamic is that the mouse can’t help itself; it doesn’t know it’s being played. Democrats…well, maybe they are only as smart as a mouse. It’s tough to know. The only things that can be known are just how pathetic Democrats are, and Donald Trump lives rent-free in their head, their dreams and in every breath they take.

Governor Greg Abbott today announced MP Materials Corp. will expand its presence in Texas and establish a rare earth magnet manufacturing campus in Northlake that will create more than 1,500 new jobs and represents more than $1.25 billion in capital investment. A Texas Enterprise Fund (TEF) grant of $12,880,500 has been extended to MP Materials for the development of the campus’ corporate operations.

U.S. Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) introduced the Officer John Barnes and Chief Michael Ansbro Public Safety Officers' Benefits Program Expansion Act of 2026. This bipartisan legislation would amend the existing Public Safety Officers’ Benefits (PSOB) program to speed up benefit determinations and extend benefits to additional public safety officers.

The Texas Education Freedom Accounts (TEFA) program has reached the midway point of its six-week family application window, with more than 130,000 student applications already submitted and more than 2,000 schools signed up to participate. Those numbers continue to rise daily. The family application period opened Feb. 4 and will close March 17, leaving three weeks remaining for families to apply.

“Here in the great state of Texas, we unapologetically uphold the values that make Texas, Texas. We are conducting the most robust border security operation of any state in U.S. history, we are banning foreign adversaries from buying Texas land, we are empowering Texas families to control their child's academic success, and we are fostering economic prosperity for the men and women who power Texas. 

So out of nowhere, the public's warned that a scorching planet earth will be inundated by rising seas in a mere decade. Or that millions of transgender youth are our next civil rights frontier. Neither come true – nor ever were true – so how do such crazy bouts of madness so quickly become policy, law, and the status quo? There's usually a multi-step process to these self-destructive fits of insanity being accepted – or jammed down our throats.
