Instead of encouraging U.S. Energy Production to provide high-paying jobs and relieve all the families hurt by record gas prices, it’s clear President Biden's now focused on placating the de facto leader of OPEC, Saudi Arabia. But, were he genuinely serious about getting inflation under control, he'd implement the following five action items to stop the bleeding and reverse the terrifying trajectory that's strangling millions of American families.
After a recent New York Times report implied that former FBI officials James Comey and Andrew McCabe had been selected for an I.R.S. audit – and after the targeting of conservative groups and the leaking of private tax returns under the Obama and Biden Administrations – Republican House Ways & Means Committee Leader Cong. Kevin Brady says he supports investigating all allegations of political targeting.
"While the Biden Administration's abandoned Border Communities, the State of Texas will support & help them respond to the disaster that President Biden has caused," said Gov. Greg Abbott earlier today, announcing that his Public Safety Office is providing an additional $30 million in "Operation Lone Star" grant funding for Texas Cities & Counties to enhance the state's Border Security Operations.
"This report is the first official report released to the public on the timeline of the events on that tragic day. ALERRT's 26-page report outlining the attack on Robb Elementary School in complete detail was very difficult for me to read today, as it will be for all Texans," said Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, commenting after the ALERRT Report on Law Enforcement's response in the Uvalde tragedy was released.
After the Biden White House and EPA proposed that fossil fuel-fired power plants in 25 states participate in an allowance-based ozone program beginning in 2023, "The new regulations are not cost-effective and exceed necessary air quality standards for reasons that are unrelated to the environment," said Texas' Attorney General Ken Paxton. Here's why, and the letter Paxton sent the EPA.
Nothing generates such hilarious cries of anguish from our enemies as hearing that the Supreme Court of the United States actually reads & adheres to the Constitution. Democrats are losing in every governmental arena – Executive, Legislative & Judicial – and they're not going to be limited in their hysterical, girlish pouting. They want their power back, and they can’t have it. Let's let them cry.
In mid-June the New York Times pointed out: “The (Biden) effort to stabilize the oil market… is at odds with his stated ambition to move the country to Electric Cars & Renewable Energy.” Then on CNN last Thursday, Senior Biden Adviser Brian Deese gave the nation a hint of what's really going on: “You heard from the president today... This is about the future of the Liberal World Order, and we have to stand firm.” It gets worse.
"I urge the president - stop the loss of lives," said Gov. Greg Abbott during a press briefing at the border. Operation Lone Star continues to fill the dangerous gaps left by the Biden White House's refusal to secure the border. Every individual apprehended or arrested, and every ounce of drugs seized would have otherwise made their way into Texas' communities due to Biden's open border policies.
As baby formula supply shortages continue to plague the entire country for weeks on end, and as Texas families are continuing paying the price, Texas' Attorney General Ken Paxton sent a multi-state letter (led by West Virginia,) to the Federal Trade Commission to "reverse the ill-conceived policies that have created this crisis.” The ongoing problem is still occurring across the United States.
As a result of a sustained period of historically high revenues, later this month Hegar will provide an update to the Certification Revenue Estimate published in November 2021. That update will result in a significant increase in estimated revenue available for the 2022-23 biennium.
For decades, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been weaponized by climate alarmists who put green special interests ahead of the American people. Thankfully, the Supreme Court last week delivered a ruling that affirms Congress – not unelected agency employees in D.C. – is charged with setting our nation’s energy policy. Beginning with President Obama, the EPA has stepped outside its authority.
Liberals hate white men. Or at least that's what they say. Reality, on the other hand, tells a different story. Democrats run to a white guy every chance they get. They're that guy who insists they hate someone or something, and secretly have a closet full of it at home – usually an old white one. Joe Biden is the oldest evil white one, and he won't step aside to give Kamala a clear path no matter what.
“In the last month alone, my district has faced two tragedies – a school shooting in Uvalde, and a deadly human trafficking operation in San Antonio. In these times of crisis, 1st Responders need state of the art technology to perform their jobs," said South Texas Cong. Tony Gonzales, after he successfully included $5,484,000 in the first draft of the 2023 Commerce, Justice & Science Appropriations Bill.
"When we prepare for disasters together, we're keeping ourselves and our loved ones safe. The State of Texas is taking proactive action to ensure we are ready to respond to any severe weather that may come our way," noted Gov. Greg Abbott, reminding Texans to be prepared for hurricane season. Over 30 Texas Emergency Management Council Agencies bolster the state’s preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation efforts.
"“Oil, natural gas & coal have lifted people out of poverty, fed the hungry, warmed the cold, healed the sick, and created a more stable world. In fact, mankind is more prepared and safer from climate change than ever before," said Texas Railroad Commission Chairman Wayne Christian, as the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency had over-stepped its bounds in implementing the Clean Air Act.
Abortion backers have for way too long gotten away with falsely claiming that Roe v. Wade "legalized" abortion in 1973. They are now falsely claiming that Roe's reversal "outlaws" abortion. During a 2020 Democrat Debate, Bernie Sanders rejected the idea of making abortion illegal at any stage of pregnancy – and virtually all other Democrats agree. But 80% of Americans think 3rd Trimester abortion should be illegal.
“My district spans more than 40% of the Southern Border, including the El Paso, Del Rio & Big Bend Sectors of the Border Patrol. In Congress, we have the responsibility to equip law enforcement with the technology & infrastructure needed to support their mission. This starts with providing the proper level funding for Customs & Border Patrol Agents, as well as Local Law Enforcement to keep our communities safe,” said Cong. Gonzales.
In response to the tragic San Antonio deaths of over 50 immigrants being smuggled inside a semi-truck earlier this week, Gov. Greg Abbott has announced an expansion of Texas’ Border Security Operations, including immediate implementation of new Vehicle Checkpoints targeting semi-trucks and the creation of additional Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) Strike Teams to fight President Biden's growing border crisis.
