Let's talk about this just-yesterday uncovered "collusion" between a supposedly "Free Press" and Joe Biden. It happened in the light-of-day – during a White House Press Conference in the Rose Garden, no less – and is a fraud on the American people that's designed to give them the false impression Mr. Biden can withstand legitimate media questions without first having knowledge of precisely what questions will be asked.
Since August 2021, I've pushed President Biden and State Dept. Secretary Antony Blinken for the release of the "Afghanistan After-Action Review," which provides insight into the failed withdrawal that led to the deaths of 13 American service men & women and left 100s of Americans behind under Taliban rule. The American people and our Gold Star Families deserve accountability.
Though Tucker may have been tossed off his perch at Fox (or jumped – we will eventually get the details on how this all went down), he will land on his feet and crush the libs beneath his preppy Topsiders. The answer to the question “What will Tucker do now” is the same answer as the answer to the question about what the 800-pound gorilla will do: “Anything he wants.”
“Professors didn't believe we'd push back – but they were wrong. The Texas Senate's now passed the strongest pushback on woke policies in higher education nationwide. Students should be taught how to think critically, not what to think,” said Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, after the Senate passed a series of bills designed to reverse inroads teaching & indoctrinating students at the state's Colleges & Universities.
After a series of sporting events in Connecticut highlighted the most recent instances of biological boys winning a large number of Track & Field Competitions competing against biological girls – clearly limiting the athletic experience for women – its past time to enforce the protections specifically created for girls participating in sports by prohibiting discrimination against them on the basis of sex under Title IX.
“Job growth in Texas’ oil and natural gas industry – even in the midst of turbulent economic times – is a continued testament to the demand for the irreplaceable products that help power our lives,” said Todd Staples, President of the Texas Oil & Gas Association, after the latest Texas Workforce Commission and U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics figures showed Oil & Natural Gas related employment in Texas added 1,500 jobs in March.
Because of President Biden's "open border" policies, the crisis at our border is completely out of control: Border Patrol has encountered 5 million migrants since Mr. Biden took office, 100,000 Americans have died from fentanyl flowing across the border, 98 suspected terrorists and 12,000 criminals attempted to enter the U.S. just last year, and over 850 migrants died trying to cross — the most on record.
Economist Steve Moore at the Committee to Unleash Prosperity estimates that a 1% drop in annual GDP growth, due to more & bigger government, has lopped off about $15,000 in Median Family Income. If we'd continued the 3.1% growth, the average American would have some 22% in higher income, Moore says. And now Mr. Biden and his party want a blank check on the earning power of the American people?
Last week marked 100 days of a Republican-controlled House of Representatives. In just 100 days, Republicans have safeguarded traditional American values, championed pro-growth policies, exercised our much-needed oversight authorities on the Biden White House, and worked to ensure the next generations of Americans inherit the same freedoms & opportunities we did. And, we’re just getting started!
"This new facility will be a Texas-sized investment in the future of Southeast Texas,” said Gov. Greg Abbott, celebrating Texas’ ongoing effort to increase reliable power generation at a groundbreaking ceremony for Entergy Texas’ Orange County Advanced Power Station. The new 1,215 megawatt facility will create 7,000 new jobs, power more than 230,000 homes in 27 counties, and help power further economic growth.
“130,000 truancy cases in Houston means there's likely a million truancy cases in Texas. This is a Lost Generation of truant students, and it has to stop,” said State Sen. Paul Bettencourt, after his bill creating improved school attendance guidelines passed the Senate. He noted that the Robb Elementary School shooter had 100s of unexcused absences prior to his being involuntary withdrawn from school.
For too long, the American people have suffered countless policy failures and unacceptable lack of transparency under one party Democrat rule. Over the last 100 days, House Republicans have reopened the People’s House, prioritized U.S. Energy Independence, defunded Joe Biden’s IRS army, countered the Chinese Party's influence, and finally started to hold the Biden White House accountable.
It should be pretty clear that raising your tax rates to 70% or 80% or 90% would be an economic killer. Jobs, businesses and people would leave – or the rich would stop investing. We know that every time tax rates have been raised that high, as during the Great Depression and in the 1970s, the economy crashed. Yet on Tax Day this year, about a dozen left-wing millionaires joined some of the most liberal Democrats in Congress for a press conference.
After weeks of considerable uncertainty and calendar slippage over exactly how, when and from where President Biden would launch his re-election campaign, the latest intel from Washington,, D.C. says... This week. With a video. On Tuesday. We think. That comes on top of a Rasmussen Poll showing that 31% of voters would consider voting for a 3rd-Party Candidate, with Democrats more open to the idea than Republicans or independents.
Customers of CPS Energy in San Antonio – the nation’s largest municipally-owned Electric & Natural Gas Utility – may have to pay millions of dollars more as CPS amasses legal fees that will likely be passed on to ratepayers according to a legal analysis that recently appeared in The Texas Lawyer. “There's no reason for them to keep their customers in the dark and continue adding costs," says the article's author.
“I will never stop fighting for religious liberty in Texas," said Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick following the passage of Senate Bill 1396 by Sen. Mayes Middleton and Senate Bill 1515 by Sen. Phil King. “I believe that you cannot change the culture of the country until you change the culture of mankind." Both bills passed the Texas Senate along 17-12 party line vote.
Sponsoring Senators: "Coast Guard’s protection of the maritime borders of the United States led to interdicting over 330,000 pounds of cocaine, over 60,000 pounds of marijuana, and over 15,000 pounds of other narcotics; conducting over 6,300 boardings of U.S fishing vessels & interdicting approximately 100 foreign fishing incursions; and interdicting 12,500 illegal immigrants, an increase of 150% from 2021.”
"We must put parents front and center as it concerns the future of education in Texas," said Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, advocating for expanded school choice options for all Texas students and defending a parents’ right to be in charge of their child’s education. “When it comes to educating your child, there's a six-word sentence that is paramount: Mom and dad are in charge,” said Abbott.
