"Our legislation focuses on curbing gun violence and prioritizing law enforcement, includes criminal prosecutions of persons who illegally buy a gun, as well as expanding Project Exile to more effectively prosecute those who commit violent crimes with a firearm. These are issues the left & right should be able to agree on," said Sen. Ted Cruz while filing the "Safe Kids, Safe Schools, Safe Communities Act of 2022."
Basic fairness dictates that people should be taxed on real and actual gains or profits, not the phantom gains. But the IRS doesn’t see it that way. The dramatic increase in the Inflation Rate in the last year should lead those who care about capital formation and economic growth to reform the Capital Gains Tax. Why? It's a tax on savings.
“The Biden White House is attempting to force every State & Local entity to adopt its Sexual Orientation & Gender Identity Agenda – or suffer massive financial consequences,” said Texas Attorney General Paxton, who joined Tennessee's multi-state letter urging Mr. Biden to halt the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture's “sex discrimination” from schools initiative.
Republican pundits and conservative activists are debating whether they can win in 2024 with the successful Trump Agenda – but without the controversial former president as their nominee.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has characterized Biden's "Gas Tax Holiday" idea as a "public relations stunt."

Last week, I was invited to testify before a House Committee hearing entitled: "How the Biden American Rescue Plan Saved the Economy & Lives." I am not making this up. Can you imagine, given our current conditions? I told the committee's Democrats that the idea Congress would even hold such a hearing when the economy's coming unhinged only reinforces the suspicions of most everyday Americans.
As the Biden White House continues to shut down new Oil & Gas leases for U.S. production and development of the nation's domestic resources, and while the average cost of gas at the pump has skyrocketed to over $5.00 a gallon, Texas' Att. Gen. Ken Paxton is fighting to reverse a court’s decision impacting the largest offshore oil and gas lease sale in U.S. history.
President Biden’s economy continued to collapse, yet despite the problems facing us, Nancy Pelosi and liberals in Congress insist on focusing on a partisan smear campaign that's costing taxpayers millions of dollars.
