Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky – as seen fighting on the streets of his Nation's Capitol City – called in to a Zoom Teleconference call of Europe's leaders last weekend showing the now-familiar dark-Camo T-shirt & unshaven look of a warrior, which contrasted vividly against the posh conditions surrounding the others. In his brief pitch for support, Zelensky reminded his counterparts – sitting securely in comfortable chairs in opulent offices – that this might be the last time they would see him alive.
The latest Rasmussen Polls show both an increasingly grave level of concern on the part of the nation's citizens – and an increasingly disastrous result for Joe Biden and the Democrat Party he leads among Independent Voters. Most "Likely U.S. Voters" don't believe Mr. Biden's insistence on using "Economic Sanctions" to alter President Putin's aggression are enough, or will stop further invasion into Ukraine.
The National Women’s History Alliance selects a theme and chooses women to honor each March as part of "Women’s History Month." Its evolved from the very first "Women’s History Week" that took place in 1979, and this year’s theme is “Women Providing Healing, Promoting Hope,” which is a tribute to the ceaseless work of caregivers and frontline workers during this ongoing pandemic.
"Our Texan Hearts go out to those Ukrainians fighting for their freedom as Texans once did, especially on this day, March 2nd, Texas Independence Day – and we must take steps to protect Texas' Taxpayer Assets from Totalitarian Regimes that go to war against and invade neighboring Democracies without reason or provocation," said State Sen. Paul Bettencourt Wednesday, after a total of 29 (out of 31) State Senators signed on to his letter to Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick requesting an "Interim Charge" study to determine how and where State Government Assets may be at risk due to the Russian invasion.
Many states rely on the “3-Legged Stool” of Property, Sales and Income taxes. Texas, thankfully, has only two of those legs, but the price we pay for the lack of an Income Tax is higher Sales & Property Taxes. If Texas’ tax system became a one-legged stool of sales tax, that Sales Tax would be in the stratosphere.
“When my agency was tasked with creating Texas’ first-ever Broadband Development Office and bringing reliable high-speed internet to every corner of the state, we knew we couldn’t do it alone,” said Comptroller Glenn Hegar as he began his tour to gather citizen's input to help guide the strategic vision of Texas’ new Broadband Development Office (BDO).
Its been true for some time that eight U.S. states have no personal income tax. Those states, from west to east, are: Alaska, Washington, Nevada, Wyoming, South Dakota, Texas, Tennessee & Florida. And since workers tend to want to move to no income tax states like Texas and Florida, others like North Carolina, Mississippi, Arizona and Louisiana want some of that action.
Joe Biden wants $18 billion more for anti-virals, $5 billion more for testing, and $3 billion more to combat future viruses. The outrage here is that no one in Washington seems to be outraged. Believe it or not, there's still at least $500 billion from the last COVID bill that hasn't been spent.
As Ukraine seeks to repel a Russian invasion initiated last week by it's president Vladimir Putin, fewer than 1/3rd of "Likely U.S Voters" have a favorable view of how President Biden is handling of the situation. And after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi recently announced she'll seek another term in Congress, 60% of voters view her "unfavorably" – including 50% who have a "Very Unfavorable" impression.
Gov. Abbott sent a letter to the Texas Department of Information Resources, and the Texas Department of Public Safety earlier today directing both agencies to use every available resource to safeguard the state’s critical infrastructure – including State & Local Governments, School Districts and private businesses – against potential targeting from Russian cyberattacks.
Governor Greg Abbott issued proclamations announcing Saturday, May 7, 2022 as the special election date for Texas State House Districts 38 and 147
“While I have concerns about how President Biden is handling this nomination process, I look forward to evaluating Judge Jackson on her record, views, and judicial philosophy alone."
The data comes as part of a report that the Federal Reserve uses to measure inflation.
Barack Obama engaged in what Democrats today would call "Voter Suppression" to win his Illinois State Senate seat not all that long ago. Obama now says, "That is not how democracy is supposed to work" – but, "Gerrymandering" was not the only hard-boiled tactic employed by the young, ambitious politician.
“Joe Biden is a sheep leading a nation of lions, and because of his weakness America has never been in a more powerless position. The incompetence Americans have suffered through over the last year is now clearly spreading beyond our borders, and the world is watching,” said Texas Cong. Brian Babin,
"The harrowing images and videos of Russian forces attacking Ukrainian cities are a stark reminder of what happens when the world lacks strong American leadership. I've been proud to serve our country – including in times of war – and know firsthand the horrors of combat. Putin and his cronies must be held accountable for their crimes and assault," said Cong. Pfluger, a decorated fighter pilot who served in the Pentagon and NATO.
"When we work together to put children first, we see amazing things happen. The Stephens Campus for Children & Families is a living example of West Texas' commitment to surrounding children with love and support, and I'm grateful for our continued partnership to ensure that every child in Texas has the opportunity to live a life worthy of their promise," said Mrs. Abbott at the grand opening in San Angelo.
What's really behind the recent pessimistic appraisals of democracy's future from Hillary Clinton, Adam Schiff, Brian Williams and other elites & media personalities on the Left? Joe Biden's negatives are running between 50-to- 57%, and less than a third of the country wants him to run for re-election. In other words, they're terrified democracy will work too robustly.
