President Biden's refusal to enforce consequences for illegal activity at our border has created nothing but chaos. Our heroic Border Patrol Officers are working to overcome the challenges of inconsistent fences, understaffing, and most importantly rhetoric and policies from our President that are encouraging the most illegal border crossings in the history of this country.
Conservative candidates for the Senate, written off by the media and Democrats as a bunch of crazy Trumpy radicals, are looking like they are going to win all or most of the key races. How do we know? Well, don’t believe the polls (even the good ones,) but do consider their direction – as well as the directions of gas prices (up) and the stock market (down). Here's the Over/Under.
Left-wing prosecutors have stopped enforcing our nation's own laws for a host of crimes — from theft to resisting arrest — on the theory that punishing minority criminals is racist. Biden even had the gall to claim it was Republicans who were anti-police and anti-law enforcement. So unmistakably, Republican's challenge to every Democrat candidate should include at least one of the following four questions.
“Your failure to enforce the nation’s immigration laws, and your willful blindness to the very Humanitarian Crisis at our Southern Border, amounts to a gross dereliction of duty and a violation of your Oath of Office. This gross dereliction of duty, if not corrected swiftly, could provide grounds for impeachment,” said Senators Ted Cruz & Lindsey Graham, listing the shocking statistics that have occurred during Secretary Mayorkas's tenure.
“This funding is vital to ensure that low-income residents can pay their utility bills – which are increasing due to Joe Biden’s failed energy policies,” said Congresswoman Mayra Flores (TX-34.) noting that roughly 2,900 applications in her district will go unfunded. Utility bills have been increasing all over Texas and the nation due to inflation – and Mr. Biden’s anti-American energy policies.
“We continue to leverage cutting edge technology to improve efficiency for staff and operators, and we'll use our experience to extend our success through the next year,” said Wei Wang, Executive Director of the oil & gas regulating Texas Railroad Commission, after the agency surpassed critical goals to protect public safety, the environment, while maximizing the state's natural resources.
Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds walks down a Main Street-like sidewalk, passing small business storefronts in her TV Ad. "Here, we still have Common Sense. We kept businesses open, and kids in school. We cut taxes, and support our police. In Iowa, America still works," she says. Then, the Iowa Democrat Party chair says, "We need to call this what it is: a racist and dangerous stunt using stereotypes to score political points." WHAT?!
“For too long, the voices of conservative Hispanic women have been absent from the political arena. Hispanic women are a force, and will change the status quo,” said former Texas Supreme Court Justice Eva Guzman, who will chair Conservative Hispanas in Action. The Hispanic community’s concerns — rising crime, the economy, political corruption, and the crisis at Texas' Border are their priorities.
State governments are competing for residents from high-tax states by cutting tax rates. New evidence shows that cutting tax rates – or keeping them low – attracts residents, especially high-income earners, from high-tax states. And... Why should the rest of us care? Two important reasons.
"Texas is proud to be the nation's #1 exporting state for 20 years in a row, and we're beating our competitors in other states because of the efficiency and effectiveness of Port Houston," said Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. "Texas' economy is booming, but our state — and Port Houston — could unleash its full economic potential if the federal government would get out of the way."
According to Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar, the state's energy producers paid $552 million in taxes in September 2022, up 41% from September 2021. “The oil and natural gas industry is meeting our energy needs more responsibly than any other nation in the world, while funding public education and our state’s Rainy Day Fund,” said Todd Staples, president of the Texas Oil & Gas Association.
Joe Biden, the supposed head of the Democrat Party, is 79 – but he consistently sounds and acts like he's 89. Nancy Pelosi is 82 – and she at times she seems entrapped in her world disconnected from reality. Kamala Harris can't plead age as cause for her mental confusion. So why is the Democrat Party run by people with age-related cognitive disabilities that startle both Americans at home and our allies abroad?
“Crime is the beneath-the-iceberg issue for voters in 2022, and it’s absolutely clear in these numbers. Americans of all political backgrounds have a strong belief in protecting the innocent, and punishing the guilty,” said Mark Meckler, president of the organization conducting a recent poll showing that 95% of "Likely General Election Voters" oppose Democrat policies favoring release of violent criminals.
Over the past decade, most states have taken a page out of Texas’ playbook and are now winning major corporate re-location projects that Texas has traditionally won. As a result, Texas needs to design an updated effort to replace the one expiring in 2022. Without a state-based incentive program, Texas will not be on a level playing field to recruit jobs to local communities around the state.
U.S. Senator Ted Cruz and Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) today sent a letter to U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo calling on her to address the role of so-called Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) standards in facilitating anti-Semitic boycotts of Israel.
With over 27 years of experience in the Electric & Gas Industries, Gov. Greg Abbott has appointed Pablo Vegas of Austin as the new President & CEO of ERCOT – the Energy Reliability Council of Texas. Vegas is a trustee of the American Gas Association Foundation, and is a member of the Society of Gas Lighting and the Young Presidents' Organization.
In 2015, three female gymnasts brought formal complaints to the FBI's Indianapolis Field Office asserting that they and 100s of other young women had been molested by USA Gymnastics' medical coordinator and physician. Later, an Inspector General of the U.S. Justice Department revealed the FBI had poorly handled the case – and the investigation's process.
“State sales tax collections continued to climb rapidly in September, with solid growth in all major economic sectors,” said Comptroller Glenn Hegar. Total sales tax revenue for just the three month period ending with September 2022 was up 14.9% compared to the same period a year ago. Texas' state sales tax revenue totaled $3.69 billion in September 2022.
