BAUER: On Memorial Day & Patriot's Graves – "Thank God that such Men Lived”

Of all the dangers facing our country today, perhaps the greatest is one that doesn’t make headlines – our collective national amnesia and how our children are given little sense of our nation's greatness. In fact, children are increasingly taught the exact opposite. I'm often struck by how many American children have nothing good to say about our country.

HANSON: Are Some Racist Slurs OK?

One reason the public turned on The Looney Left's DEI (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) indoctrination efforts was its insistence that some 70% of the country was stereotyped as "victimizers" – by virtue of their skin color. Absurd. The other "diverse" 30%, by contrast, were considered the "victimized." But human nature is universal – and transcends race.

Texas Cong. Jodey Arrington, Author of the 'One, Big, Beautiful Bill,' Celebrates Passage

“Over the last four years, Americans suffered – chaos on our Border, crime ridden streets, a cost-of-living crisis that decimated families and left them more vulnerable. America was weaker, and more divided than it had been in generations. Then, Americans gave President Trump a historic mandate and a Republican Congress to reverse course – and this bill will do exactly that," said House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington.

Biden Forgives Student Loans and ... Behold, Defaults Skyrocket

Student loan debt soared to more than $1.5 trillion during the Biden presidency, and the response by Washington was to "forgive" hundreds of billions of these unpaid loans by deadbeat borrowers and let the taxpayers pick up the tab. It was never clear why the universities that charge exorbitant tuitions that have reached more than $75,000 a year at many elite schools shouldn't bear the cost of the program -- but that's another story.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s Bail Reform Agenda Faces Uphill Battle

Governor Greg Abbott of Texas is urging Democrats in the House to support a package of bail reform amendments aimed at making bail more restrictive. However, Rep. John Smithee expressed concerns that insufficient Democratic support could hinder the measure's passage, requiring at least 12 Democrats to achieve the necessary supermajority.

CONG. McCAUL: Fixing Border Crisis Didn't Take More Laws, It Took New Leadership

I’ve worked on border issues for 25 years — first as a federal prosecutor and later as chairman of the Homeland Security Committee — and I can safely say that I’ve never seen the border as broken and chaotic as it was under President Biden. Under the Biden/Harris administration, the federal government abdicated its duty to protect the homeland – and Texans bore the brunt of that abject failure.

Rep. Tony Gonzales Discusses Continued Foot Traffic in Big Bend Sector with CBP Leadership

Flores: "We’ll continue to work towards 100% situational awareness, and that’s our plan right now, so we can ensure that we know what’s coming across the border. And then, ultimately, in ensuring that we know what’s coming across the border, being able to take an enforcement action on that. The enforcement and deterrence piece on the consequences seems to have a good deterrent effect and helps alleviate some of those hot spots.”
