Elon Musk is releasing internal Twitter documents that clearly illustrate how "More to review from the Biden team" was "Handled," and how the "the Biden team" had a direct pipeline to Twitter's senior executives. It lays bare for all to see how the decision to bury the Hunter Biden Laptop Story happened – and oh what a difference the suppression made; 17% of Biden voters in 7 Swing States would not have voted for Biden had they known about the story.
What's clear is that Elon Musk – despite the full mobilization of the D.C. Swamp against him – is undeterred, thank goodness. In fact, the normally unstoppable forces of Washington may have met their first immovable object. What is also clear, is that the Biden Campaign never denied Hunter Biden's laptop was Hunter Biden's laptop. On Tuesday, Musk fired Twitter's Deputy General Counsel – and disgraced former FBI General Counsel – Jim Baker.
My son-in-law, Greg, helped save my life a couple months ago. For those who don’t know, being added to a transplant waitlist is quite a process – and there are many more Texans waiting for a transplant than there are deceased-donor organs available. That's why Greg's "live donation" helped save my life. In less time than it'll take you to read my story, you can visit DonateLifeTexas.org to see if you're registered to help save someone else's life.
Californians pay 80% above the national average for electricity, and Germans have the highest electricity prices in the world. Yes, contrary to what Americans typically see or hear – and are told by the Mainstream Media – reliance on wind and solar power actually increases the costs of your electric bills. California and Germany are prime examples of what happens when a state or nation relies to heavily on wind and-or solar energy.
“I thank Secretary John Scott for his tireless work educating Texas voters on how they can participate in the electoral process, and for safeguarding the integrity of Texas elections. Senator Nelson’s lifelong commitment to public service and her deep understanding of state government will be assets in her new role as Secretary of State," said Gov. Greg Abbott earlier today, accepting Scott's resignation and announcing his intent to name Nelson as Texas' 115th Secretary of State.
"No one should fear that their religious and speech rights will be trampled in the United States, and today’s oral arguments demonstrated the rightness of 303 Creative’s position under the Constitution,” said Sen. Ted Cruz, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee and Ranking Member of its Constitution Subcommittee earlier today about the "303 Creative LLC vs. Elenis" court case currently being heard by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Attorney General Paxton has secured a significant victory in the New Orleans-based 5th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, with the court striking down the Federal Horseracing Integrity & Safety Act as unconstitutional. This private, unelected and unaccountable to taxpayers entity falls under the purview of the Federal Trade Commission, which the 5th Circuit said is too limited to provide proper oversight.
The Founding Fathers understood human nature and its tendency toward excess – absent controls. And, for the next few weeks Democrats still control Congress. John Adams put it most succinctly: "There are two ways to enslave a nation. One is by sword. The other is by debt." So count on Democrats to threaten government "shutdown" if Republicans don't go along with their threats to spend more money... that we don't have.
Governor Greg Abbott, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and the Texas National Guard are continuing to work together to secure the border; stop the smuggling of drugs, weapons, and people into Texas; and prevent, detect, and interdict trans-national criminal behavior. Since the launch of Operation Lone Star, the multi-agency effort has led to over 328,000 migrant apprehensions and more than 22,100 criminal arrests.
Americans no longer need to fear the Grinch to steal Christmas – Biden-Inflation has managed to accomplish that with higher costs and smaller paychecks during the Holiday Season. Consumers are cutting back on holiday gift buying amid escalating inflation, shoppers are making fewer purchases, and they are doing so at a discount to try and combat higher prices this holiday season, several studies show.
Texas Congressmen August Pfluger and Henry Cuellar have introduced a piece of bi-partisan legislation called the "LNG for Allies Act" to expedite the licensing process for exports of U.S. Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) to strategic partners and allied countries. The bill also specifies that applications for expedited LNG exports to nations known to be a State Sponsors of Terrorism will be denied.
HB 159 reinstates the requirement on local taxing entities that proposed Property Tax Rates changes must be published in local newspapers. And HB 187 requires ballot measures seeking approval for the issuance of new bonds or public debt be done only during a November Election, removing the option to present such a vote during lower turnout, mid-year elections. The Legislative Session begins on Tuesday, January 10th, 2023.
Losing control of the people’s House last month was bad enough. Now Democrats have this “Twitter thing” to deal with – which is no longer within their authoritarian control to manipulate. They don’t have that free hand to tip the scales in their favor any longer, and with the new control of Congress in GOP hands they also know the days of keeping their secrets from the American Public are numbered... And they are terrified.
"This incredible, groundbreaking new therapy has the potential to revolutionize how we combat fentanyl deaths and end the afflictions of addiction that burdens so many innocent Texans & Americans across the country," said Gov. Greg Abbott, celebrating the tremendous achievement of University of Houston researchers who have developed a groundbreaking fentanyl vaccine with the potential to save millions of lives from overdose poisonings and addiction.
“After doing next to nothing to avoid a railway strike, the president assured the American people this matter was settled. That was a brazen lie. Now, he expects Congress to step into the dispute and pick winners and losers. As a matter of principle, I don't support government intervention to decide terms of employment," said Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, as the U.S. Senate took up legislation to avoid an economic catastrophe and railroad strike.
Total State Sales Tax Revenues for the three months ending November 2022 were up 13.3% in Texas when compared with the same period a year ago, said Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar earlier today. And with the 2023 Legislative Session fast approaching, Sales Taxes represent the largest source of state funding for the state budget, accounting for 56% of all tax collections. November's monthly total is the highest on record, and is up 11.2% from November 2021.
“Since 2007, the Texas Oil & Gas Industry has paid nearly $179 billion – or almost $12 billion per year – to royalty owners, the State of Texas, and to Local Governments,” said Railroad Commission Chair Wayne Christian yesterday, after Comptroller Glenn Hegar transferred $3.64 billion to the Economic Stabilization "Rainy Day Fund" and $3.64 billion the State Highway Fund. "This is all put at risk by the attacks by President Biden to kill the industry."
When you hear that something is refundable, you probably think that means that someone gets a refund on something he or she paid. By “refundable,” they (IRS) mean that someone gets a payment even if he or she paid nothing in the first place.
