Why are all these Democrats with Press Passes doing everything they can to downplay the "collusion" revelations coming out of Twitter? I’d bet dollars to donuts there’s a cabal of journalists who “turned in” to Twitter's Truth Police people THEY wanted quieted or shut down. And for people who claim to support "Free Speech" and inflate themselves as providers of "truth," being found out – or having THEIR emails exposed – is scaring the hell out of them.
"We have a responsibility as the Texas delegation to represent the Spirit of Texas – which is one that runs to the fight, always fights for what is right, and never gives up," said Cong. Jodey Arrington, as he and others held a Capitol Hill Press Conference releasing their detailed plan for 2023. House Republicans have made a "Commitment to America" to secure the southern border as part of their new majority’s priority to create a nation that’s safe.
As part of Operation Lone Star, the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) has launched a new Elite Border Task Force that includes tracking K9s and drone operators to detect, track down, and apprehend the record number of so-called "gotaways" coming into Texas. More than 73,000 "gotaways" were reported in November alone, and in fiscal year 2022 there were nearly 600,000 — a stark increase from about 389,000 in 2021.
Attorney General Paxton has joined a Montana-led effort in the St. Louis-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit pushing back against woke school administrators who are encouraging students to “transition” without their parents’ knowledge or consent. Its emblematic of an alarming national trend of left-wing school districts attempting to interfere with the vital role that parents play in their children’s development.
Despite the dire reality of our Southern Border, President Biden recently claimed (while visiting the State of Arizona,) that there are "more important things going on" than protecting our sovereignty – and he refused to acknowledge the Border Crisis he has created under his own watch. Texas Republicans are fighting for a nation that is safe – and will hold the Biden White House accountable for the crisis. Here's how.
Maj Toure, a Philadelphia high school dropout turned activist, tells me he started "Black Guns Matter" after he got tired of hearing people chanting endlessly "Black lives matter" – but saying nothing "when it's time for Black people to defend their lives" and their families. He carries a gun wherever he goes, because "This is my human right." And, he sells a T-shirt with the slogan "Make Criminals Afraid Again" printed on the front.
“Viktor Bout’s arms trafficking activity has been a concern around the globe for decades. Today he faces the prospect of life in prison for his efforts to sell millions of dollars worth of weapons to terrorists for use in killing Americans,” said Barack Obama's then-Attorney General Eric Holder in 2011 after Bout’s conviction. “One of the world’s most prolific arms dealers is being held accountable for his sordid past,” Holder said. Under Joe Biden, all that's changed.
"Legislative bodies allowing a single executive branch official to both write and enforce laws is the biggest threat to our constitutional system of divided government. Joe Biden is destroying America through executive actions, and Texas must lead by example in protecting individual liberties – even during emergencies," said State Representative Brian Harrison, filing House Bill 911 to ensure any exercise of "Emergency Powers" is narrowly tailored, and more.
"With the announcement of this groundbreaking facility by Air Products and AES, Texas will extend its leadership in U.S. energy production and help meet our country’s energy needs for decades to come," said Gov. Greg Abbott earlier today, celebrating the two companies announcement of a mega-scale green hydrogen facility in Wilbarger County located northwest of Ft. Worth. It will be the largest green hydrogen facility in the United States.
“14 Border Patrol Agents have committed suicide this year. That's more than any other year since 2007 when CBP first started tracking suicides," said Congressman Henry Cuellar (D-TX-28) on Wednesday, who along with Congressman Tony Gonzales (R-TX-23) held a bipartisan press conference in honor of the 14 fallen U.S. Customs Officers & Border Protection (CBP) Agents who have committed suicide this year.

The comprehensive study examined all 7,400 State Lawmakers from each of the 50 states – including over 265,000 individual votes across 3,500 different bills introduced in State Legislatures.
Elon Musk is releasing internal Twitter documents that clearly illustrate how "More to review from the Biden team" was "Handled," and how the "the Biden team" had a direct pipeline to Twitter's senior executives. It lays bare for all to see how the decision to bury the Hunter Biden Laptop Story happened – and oh what a difference the suppression made; 17% of Biden voters in 7 Swing States would not have voted for Biden had they known about the story.
What's clear is that Elon Musk – despite the full mobilization of the D.C. Swamp against him – is undeterred, thank goodness. In fact, the normally unstoppable forces of Washington may have met their first immovable object. What is also clear, is that the Biden Campaign never denied Hunter Biden's laptop was Hunter Biden's laptop. On Tuesday, Musk fired Twitter's Deputy General Counsel – and disgraced former FBI General Counsel – Jim Baker.
My son-in-law, Greg, helped save my life a couple months ago. For those who don’t know, being added to a transplant waitlist is quite a process – and there are many more Texans waiting for a transplant than there are deceased-donor organs available. That's why Greg's "live donation" helped save my life. In less time than it'll take you to read my story, you can visit DonateLifeTexas.org to see if you're registered to help save someone else's life.
Californians pay 80% above the national average for electricity, and Germans have the highest electricity prices in the world. Yes, contrary to what Americans typically see or hear – and are told by the Mainstream Media – reliance on wind and solar power actually increases the costs of your electric bills. California and Germany are prime examples of what happens when a state or nation relies to heavily on wind and-or solar energy.
“I thank Secretary John Scott for his tireless work educating Texas voters on how they can participate in the electoral process, and for safeguarding the integrity of Texas elections. Senator Nelson’s lifelong commitment to public service and her deep understanding of state government will be assets in her new role as Secretary of State," said Gov. Greg Abbott earlier today, accepting Scott's resignation and announcing his intent to name Nelson as Texas' 115th Secretary of State.
"No one should fear that their religious and speech rights will be trampled in the United States, and today’s oral arguments demonstrated the rightness of 303 Creative’s position under the Constitution,” said Sen. Ted Cruz, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee and Ranking Member of its Constitution Subcommittee earlier today about the "303 Creative LLC vs. Elenis" court case currently being heard by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Attorney General Paxton has secured a significant victory in the New Orleans-based 5th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, with the court striking down the Federal Horseracing Integrity & Safety Act as unconstitutional. This private, unelected and unaccountable to taxpayers entity falls under the purview of the Federal Trade Commission, which the 5th Circuit said is too limited to provide proper oversight.
