The Biden White House's current policy puts American heroes – men and women who willingly put their lives on the line for this country – in the impossible position of being forced to choose between serving the country they love, or violating the foundational religious values they hold dear. As a result, Texas' Attorney General has joined a Mississippi-led effort to prevent American Service Members from being forced to take a vaccine that goes against their religious beliefs.
“To put it into perspective, only five times since 1988 has the rate of growth in Texas’ All Funds tax collections exceeded the prior fiscal year by double digits — and those increases ranged from 10 to 13%. This year’s rate of growth was almost double the previous high in that time, said Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar earlier today, releasing totals for Fiscal Year 2022's state revenues, while also announcing the monthly state revenues for August.
“Congrats to everyone who didn't have college debt before. Now you do!" Is there a more succinct way to show the blatant injustice of Joe Biden’s election year politics? If you or your kids went to college and didn’t take out loans, that doesn’t matter. You’re still on the hook for the new federal debt Biden created when he announced he's "forgiving" what amounts to $2,100 dollars of indebtedness for every one of us regular ol' Americans.
Remember Hillary Clinton's pithy "basket of deplorables," or Barack Obama's "guns & religion" bitter clingers? The process starts with executive branch actors accreting to themselves authority that they were never given. That's how Joe Biden – in desperate search of a new label to pin on his (Red-Blooded fellow American) opponents after "ultra-MAGA" brought peals of laughter rather than shudders of horror – landed on his latest slur, 'semi-fascists.'
"Mayor Lightfoot loves to tout the responsibility of her city to welcome all – regardless of legal status – and I look forward to seeing this responsibility in action as these migrants receive resources from a sanctuary city with the capacity to serve them," said Gov. Greg Abbott, announcing the arrival of the first group of illegal immigrants now being bused to Chicago, Illinois from Texas. The migrants were dropped off at Union Station.
“Joe Biden may have declared war on American energy independence, but we’re fighting back and we’re winning in court,” said Texas' Attorney General Paxton after a Federal Judge in Louisiana sided with Texas and 12 other states in a Louisiana-led lawsuit, issuing a permanent injunction against the Biden White House’s illegal moratorium on Oil & Gas Leasing on Federal Public Lands and Offshore Waters. Here's the details.
Up to $90,000,000 is available in total OPSG funding for FY2022, including $39,875,000 for the state of Texas. OPSG funds are allocated based on the risk to the security of the border.
Have a Quick Question. If one's mortgage "identifies" as "student debt," will Biden forgive it? (Am asking for a friend.) What – one might ask – happens to the suckers who paid off their student loans or the majority of Americans, many of whom are minorities, who never attended college because they couldn't afford it? And hate to be a buzzkill – but doesn't The Constitution essentially say that debt forgiveness isn't legal?
Joe Biden took a trip to Pennsylvania yesterday, and was supposed to "unify" Americans behind a “Safer America” agenda that supports law enforcement and reduces crime. It was meant to be a layup for Thursday night's "national address" about "saving democracy" and "promoting unity," but instead an angry old man showed up to divide Americans with another unhinged, hateful, and at times downright threatening message to his political opponents.
As a summer of dryness and lack of rain unfolded across Texas the past few months, there have been some entities encouraging the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) to immediately begin updating its "Water Management Plan" two and a half years ahead of scheduled, and before any of the triggers warranting an update were met. To reassure Texans who depend on water from the Highland Lakes and the Lower Colorado River, our water situation and drinking water supply is in good shape.
New York City's mayor has long talked about being a “Sanctuary City” that welcomed illegal immigrants with warm hospitality. But talk is cheap. When pressed to fulfill such ill-considered policies, Mayor Adams condemns anyone demanding he to walk the walk. Texas has now bused over 7,400 illegal immigrants to our nation's capital since April, and over 1,500 migrants to New York City since August 5th, 2022. Worst of all is Adams’ hypocrisy.
“Mano DeAyala will do what’s best for Texans, and will demonstrate the same tenacity as the next State Representative for Harris County as he's achieved in a distinguished career. I appreciate his work for our great state, and look forward to welcoming him to the Texas House,” said Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan, as he and the Texans for Lawsuit Reform PAC joined to contribute $50,000 to DeAyala’s Campaign for House District 133.
Texas Senator Ted Cruz, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, sent a letter to Secretary of State Anthony Blinken calling for the State Department to expeditiously impose the sanctions mandated by Congress on Argentine Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and her immediate family members.
“Cryptocurrency frequently appears in the news, but what it is and how it is used still remains a mystery to many Texans,” said Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar. Even though more Americans are familiar with cryptocurrency — only about 48% of respondents in 2015 reported even having heard about bitcoin — skepticism is growing. Critics have called cryptocurrency a scam, a pyramid scheme and much more.
In September 2020, at the 1st Presidential Debate between him and Donald Trump, Democrat nominee Joe Biden infamously declared, "Nobody's going to build another coal-fired power plant in America" if he won the battle for the White House against President Donald Trump. Even with comments like this, the United Mine Workers endorsed Biden for president. It was a head-scratcher, for sure. Was the union simply bought off by the Liberal Left?
"A year ago Joe Biden gave Afghanistan to the Taliban. Now he intends to give a nuclear arsenal to Iran. We know that'll be catastrophic to our own national security, to our allies, and to the safety of Americans. When the Ayatollah chants ‘Death to America’ and ‘Death to Israel,’ he means it," said Texas Sen. Ted Cruz following statements by the Biden White House that they are prepared to accept Iran’s terms for a "new" nuclear deal.
After Texas lost nearly 1,700 citizens to fentanyl-related deaths in 2021 alone – and as deadly drugs like fentanyl increasingly pour across Joe Biden’s open Southern Border – Gov. Greg Abbott announced a new round of state responses to combat drug overdoses during an Overdose Awareness Day Event where he met with a group of parents, spouses, siblings, children and friends affected by the growing epidemic of opioid overdose deaths.
Available through the "Operation Stonegarden" Grant Program – a grant program of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security geared towards enhancing border security – the funding announcement comes during the same week the hard-charging, South Texas Border Congresswoman held a Law Enforcement Roundtable with several law enforcement jurisdictions and U.S. Custom & Border Protection Officials.
