For Ms. Harris: By any objective standard, you've changed your position on many issues since being nominated – fracking, the Border Wall, the Green New Deal. And you have repeatedly said your "values" have not changed. What are those "values," and on what are they based? For Mr. Trump: Some Democrats say you are "a threat to our democracy," and are turned off by your name-calling and demeaning of others. How do you intend to persuade independents voters? Oh - and a follow-up: Can each of you find something nice to say about the other?
On Monday, I will release a report on my three-year-long investigation into the administration’s deadly Afghanistan withdrawal. My report will ensure key Biden-Harris administration officials are finally held accountable for this deadly withdrawal. This report will serve as an indictment of the administration’s refusal to properly prepare for the withdrawal, and their culpability in the deaths of 13 U.S. servicemembers who were killed. President Biden and Vice President Harris will no longer be able to sweep their unmitigated disaster of epic proportions under the rug.
Democrats and their media cheerleaders will smugly tell you, “Noncitizens can’t vote; it’s illegal!” Well, let’s be real – it’s also illegal to cross our border without going through a Port of Entry, but under Biden & Harris nearly 8 million people have done it anyway. Congress is heading back to D.C. this week, and Speaker Mike Johnson has made it clear – he will attach the "SAVE Act" to the upcoming government funding bill, requiring documentary proof of U.S. Citizenship. Illegal voting by noncitizens is a major issue we can’t afford to ignore.
Governor Greg Abbott announced a Jobs and Education for Texans (JET) grant totaling more than $331,400 has been awarded to Western Texas College by the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC). The JET grant will support career and technical education (CTE) training by helping the school purchase and install equipment to train students for high-demand occupations.
“Not only have I raised concerns earlier this year without a response, but I now also have extreme reservations about leasing vast swaths of the Gulf of Mexico to a company that apparently has no experience operating a single offshore wind turbine," said Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham, submitting a second letter to oppose the Biden-Harris Administration's newest proposal for an offshore wind energy lease headed by the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM.) Its for approximately 142,528 acres.
I couldn’t help but notice recently that President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris went and spoke to members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW). While not unusual – Democrats have always pandered to unions and are in bed with union bosses, getting almost all of the campaign cash unions spend – something occurred to me while watching: How many non-union, non-Democrat Party crowds has Kamala Harris addressed in the last month? Can you blame Democrats for wanting to hide her?
This hearing was an opportunity for me and other Members of Congress to hear from Federal Agencies, as well as state and local leaders, to identify issues and further improve recovery efforts. At the hearing, we discussed challenges and successes in response to the fires and long-term recovery. Some key takeaways revealed that building trust is essential for recovery and while temporary housing is an essential, there have been unintended consequences.
U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) released the following statement after the United States secured the freedom of 135 political prisoners on humanitarian grounds, including 13 individuals affiliated with Texas-based religious organization Mountain Gateway. These political prisoners were being wrongly detained by Nicaraguan authorities.
While Texas Counties have no Statutory Authority to print and mail State of Texas Voter Registration Forms, and “Despite being warned against this blatantly illegal program that spends taxpayer dollars to mail (State of Texas Voter) Registration Applications to potentially ineligible voters, Bexar County has chosen to violate the law,” said Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. “It's a crime to register to vote if you're ineligible.” Are San Antonio & Bexar County Commissioners trying to steal elections?
The public comment period on the proposed rules opened on August 16 and will continue through September 30. This week the RRC will also hold two hearings for public input on the proposed rules.

More information on both hearings, including how they can be viewed via webcast, can be found on the RRC website.
The public is exhausted after a decade of chronic untruth from the left-wing and its media. The 2016 presidential campaign will be long remembered for the false allegation that Donald Trump colluded with the Russians to warp the election. Citing the bogus "Steele dossier," loser Hillary Clinton and other Democrat grandees claimed that the victorious Trump was an "illegitimate" president.
Rather than government dictating what health care benefits employers can offer to employees and their families, allowing Texas Businesses to attack coverage issues at their source – and choose what options work best for each small, medium or large-sized business – has provided the most meaningful and affordable care. So as more Texans face Federal Government intrusion and unaffordable costs, hindering Texan’s ability to deliver the best benefits will limit the Lone Star State's ability to attract top talent from around the nation.
Three years ago, the last U.S. military flight left Afghanistan following President Biden’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan. During this evacuation, the Biden-Harris Administration stranded at least 1,000 Americans, abandoned our Afghan allies, and left behind $7 billion worth of U.S. Military Equipment. And, after 20 years of American blood, sweat and tears being poured into the country, Afghanistan has once again become a terrorist safe haven – where women are forced to live in the shadows under Taliban rule.
The grants support a wide range of services from emergency financial assistance to transportation, legal services to family support services, and home modification, rental and mortgage assistance. The Texas Veterans Commission’s TVC Grants Across Texas Awards includes in five categories: General Assistance, Housing for Texas Heroes, Veterans Mental Health Grants, Veterans Treatment Courts, and Veteran County Service Officers. Here's some details on each.
Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) awarded $1.4 million in grants for Youth Robotics programs that will enable more than 8,200 Texas high school students to participate in Youth Robotics competitions. This year, two applicants received grant awards — Robotics Education and Competition Foundation, Inc. and FIRST in Texas. Robotics competitions bring together the excitement of sports, science, and technology.
“Receipts from restaurants declined slightly from a year ago, the first decline for the sector since the pandemic," said Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar earlier today, while announcing that in November the Comptroller’s office will deposit $2.74 billion into both the Economic Stabilization Fund and the State Highway Fund for use in Fiscal Year 2025 – both receive funding from Oil & Natural Gas Severance Taxes. Oil Production Tax Revenue was up 6.3% from FY 2023, while Natural Gas Production Revenue dropped 36.3% compared to 2023.
Kamala Harris claims she's campaigning for "freedom" and "joy," but her track record shows she's the enemy of the most important joyful freedom of all – Free Speech. She and Democrats all across their leadership ranks have used government power to muzzle those who disagree with them for at least the past 8 years – and counting. So, voters here in the Good Ol' USA had better decide if we want a government that limits what we can hear and read, and the political views we're exposed to, or not. Kamala Harris's definition of "freedom" is anything but free.
"Today, I say goodbye – Adios, I've had enough. I'm now another near life-long Democrat who is joining the growing number of people – including key groups like Latinos – leaving the Democrat Party," said California Democrat and former State Senate Majority Leader Gloria Romero, announcing she had registered as a Republican, and would be voting for former President Trump in November. "As the sun was rising today, I changed my registration to Republican – which under Donald Trump has become the champion of working people. Indeed, I will vote for Donald Trump this fall."
