When the lie could no longer be supported – and the truth remained unhelpful – Democrats deployed a new lie: "Inflation is Transitory," they said. Remember that one? As prices & inflation rose, these “learned” woke "experts" in positions of authority swore to us all that what they were experiencing, what these politicians insisted was not happening, was now happening – but don’t worry, it’ll only be a short while til it ends soon. What absolute Horse-Hockey!.
Ranking Member Ted Cruz (R-Texas) discussed the recent Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse and expressed his strong view that efforts to rebuild this project shouldn’t be slowed by bureaucratic dithering or lengthy environmental reviews.

Addressing a crowd of business and energy leaders, the Governor touted the critical role the two new peaker power stations will play in the Texas grid, adding a total of 380 megawatts of power and bringing over 300 good-paying jobs to Texans in the San Marcos area. The first of the two power plants is currently under construction and is expected to be operational in 2025. Governor Abbott also emphasized the need for more power sources across the state due to the record-breaking growth of the Texas economy.
“We commend the Committee for their leadership in convening this Monday’s hearing in Port Arthur, where witnesses described the negative impacts on local communities of the Biden Administration’s decision to halt approval of LNG projects as well as how the decision bolsters hostile nations and threatens U.S. and global security. "
In recent weeks, Republicans have publicized the murder of Laken Riley, the Georgia nursing student who police say was abducted and killed by Jose Antonio Ibarra, a Venezuelan migrant who entered the United States illegally in September 2022, only to be quickly released into the country. Ibarra was one of millions of illegal crossers who rushed into the United States after the implementation of virtually open-border policies by President Joe Biden. Democrats argued that the "immigrant crime narrative is racist," in the words of California Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia.
“Trey Wharton's the proven fighter I need to help me pass crucial conservative legislation in Austin that ensures Texas remains the land of Freedom & Opportunity,” said Gov. Greg Abbott, championing the State Rep. candidate's House District 12 campaign over the weekend – prior to knocking on doors with volunteers in the neighborhoods of Brenham, Texas. Abbott backed Wharton in the March 5th primary, and rallied supporters ahead of May 28th's Run-Off Election.
“After tireless work by my office and many others, I’m thrilled we’re helping bring more jobs to Texas – and greater energy security to America and our allies – by securing this deepwater port license," said Senate Commerce Committee Ranking Member Ted Cruz, celebrating a major victory for Texas’s energy industry today after Joe Biden's Dept. of Maritime Administration finally granted a license to construct a deepwater port to Houston’s Enterprise Products’ Sea Port Oil Terminal.

In the latest episode, we hear the story of U.S. Marine Corps Veteran Rick Hatch. Rick “Gunny” Hatch joined the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve in 1962 directly after graduating high school. Even though he initially wanted to remain close to home, he quickly discovered his love for the Marine Corps and went on active duty in 1963.
"The people of my district see it firsthand every day — the border crisis is in our backyard, and Americans are fed up," said Cong. Tony Gonzales, ahead of his legislation that will be voted on in the U.S. House this week to condemn the Biden Administration’s failure to enforce the nation's Immigration Laws & secure the border. Gonzales represents the largest Border District in the House of Representatives, Texas' 23rd Congressional District, which spans 823 miles of Texas-Mexico Border and includes Eagle Pass, Del Rio & El Paso.
As it turns out, despite all the promises over the past decade about how "Renewable Energy" is the future of power production in America, by far the biggest tax dodgers in the country are... the Wind and Solar Power Industries. Over the past several decades, "green energy" companies – what I call the climate-change-industrial complex – aren't paying its "fair share." The culprits here are the very companies that Joe Biden is in bed with: Green Energy firms.
The launch of "Operation Lone Star" – the multi-agency Texas effort to secure the border, stop the smuggling of drugs, weapons & people, and prevent, detect and interdict trans-national criminal gang & terrorist activities – has now led to over 506,500 Illegal Immigrant Apprehensions, and more than 41,200 Criminal Arrests that includes over 36,700 Felony Charges.

Southeast Texas is the Energy Capital of the World. We're the hub for major segments of the industry – primarily Transmission & Refining – and now we're also leading the way in exports. The "Shale Revolution" increased natural gas production in the U.S., and led to the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Industry. But in January, Joe Biden stopped approvals of new LNG exports. His decision harms the American economy, jeopardizes U.S. jobs, weakens our energy security, and threatens our friends and allies.
A confidential internal memo circulated among top Democrat Party donors nationwide last week has revealed serious concerns about the amount of support Donald Trump is pulling from the party's usually reliable, but now fractured base. "If we're to blindly register non-voters and get them on the rolls, we would be distinctly aiding Trump’s quest," said the internal memo – reflecting a growing level of panic within the party over its "non-partisan" Voter Registration efforts.
An official at Texas A&M was caught on tape saying that DEI programs were simply being “rebranded.” At the University of Texas-Tyler an administrator said they were getting around SB 17 by “being creative.” At Texas Tech an administrator said DEI Programs were now all operating under the "Campus Access & Engagement Program." These frantic administrators seem unaware that the biggest indictment against DEI is – it doesn’t work. Sen. Creighton's right to remind university leaders across the state – it is Texas law.
Ronald Reagan led our nation and the world with peace through strength, unparalleled economic success, and making sure America was respected on the world stage. Now we have Joe Biden wreaking havoc, creating fear & chaos, while he projects weakness – everywhere. So it comes down to this: If Democrats succeed in turning Texas "blue," every person on the face of the globe will pay a heavy, almost unfathomable price. And "As Goes Texas, so Goes the Nation." But without Texas, it’s over.
The Democrat New York State Supreme Court Judge overseeing yet another Trump-related trial has refused to remove himself for conflicts of interest following news reports that disclosed his daughter and her Political Consulting Firm made millions working for past & present clients such as Joe Biden's 2020 Presidential Campaign, Vice President Kamala Harris's Campaign, as well as Congressman now-California Democrat Senate candidate Adam Schiff – a clear conflict of interest.
