Kevin Brady at a recent Ways & Means Health Committee hearing.

Democrats are doing everything within their power to bastardize nearly every word in the English Language to make sure our society can't function. Their latest target is the word "woman." Soon-to-be Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson even said in her confirmation hearing the other day that she wasn't able to define the word. You'd think something as basic as "woman" would be easy for liberals to understand.
While the undocumented immigrants being released have reportedly been processed with Background & Criminal Checks, the normal procedure of transporting them to facilities in Eagle Pass, Texas for housing is not possible due to lack of capacity there.

“Most of the members of this committee remember the confirmation hearing of (now Supreme Court Justice) Brett Kavanaugh. In one of the lowest moments in the history of this committee, Democrats sat on allegations, didn't refer them to the FBI, didn't ask for investigations, hid them and leaked them against the wishes of the complaintant. Judge Jackson I can assure you... No one is going to inquire into your teenage dating habits. No one is going to ask you, with mock severity, ‘Do you like beer?’" said Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

For many years now, there's been a spirited debate about whether "climate change" is science, religion, or perhaps even a secret route to socialism. That question remains unanswered, and now we're discovering with certainty that "climate change" is a political albatross around the Democrat Party's neck.

The ERA fell short, and the deadline expired. "The recent motivation to resurrect the Equal Rights Amendment (today) has far less to do with actual equality, and far more to do with abortion in the event the U.S. Supreme Court overturns or limits Roe v. Wade,” said Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, joining a multi-state amicus brief opposing current efforts to now allow judicial ratification.
"There's still yet more Congress can do. I'd like to see Congress sanction Russian energy companies so they can’t continue to profit and fuel their war machine.

Kevin Brady on the Floor of the U.S. House.
In Texas, as you've probably noticed, gas prices have sky-rocketed, rising over $.80 in just one week. The record for the highest state-wide average price for gas was broken for the first time since 2008, and last Tuesday's record has been broken every day since then. President Biden has caused energy prices to skyrocket.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine is not the only thing going on.
