The wealthiest 1% of American citizens now pay more in Federal Income Taxes than the bottom 90%. Think about that... yet President Biden describes his $3.5 trillion spending scheme as a way to "build back better." Don't be fooled, this isn't about growing people's wealth – its about redistributing it.
Gov. Greg Abbott placed Texas State Resources on standby for use along the Gulf Coast ahead of Hurricane Ida’s landfall, which included the following assets at the direction of the Texas Division of Emergency Management if needed by local officials.
“During a time of crisis is an opportunity for America to come together, not divide. And now it's a time of crisis,” said South Texas Cong.

"Any American who wants to come home, we will get you home," said President Joe Biden on August 20th, 2021. But when the mission to get Americans out of the country fails, Biden will blame the Americans for "not wanting to leave" or for not properly filing their paperwork.
The Supreme Court said that the Biden Administration likely violated Federal Law by trying to end President Donald Trump's successful "Remain in Mexico" Policy, which forced people to "wait in Mexico" while their asylum cases worked their way through the Federal Justice System. Under the ruling, the Biden Admin must now make a “good faith effort” to restart the program.
Governor Greg Abbott announced that the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM), in partnership with local officials, will launch a new COVID-19 therapeutic infusion center in Nacogdoches.
"President Biden must immediately, clearly & unapologetically tell the world - including Taliban terrorists - the United States will not leave Afghanistan until we have evacuated every American trapped behind Taliban lines. He must make clear this is the only condition under which we will leave – Then he must ensure that condition is met."
AG Ken Paxton commends the Texas Supreme Court’s decision to grant the emergency motion for temporary relief in the case of Abbott v. San Antonio, keeping the decision to enforce mask mandates with the governor, not local government entities.

"This is now on track," said White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Tuesday, "to be the largest airlift in U.S. history." On the process of bringing American citizens, Afghan partners and allies out, she continued, "I would not say that is anything but a success."
President Biden's failed – as Commander-in-Chief no less – to plan for a safe and orderly evacuation backed by a credible & overwhelming threat of force against the Taliban, al Qaeda & ISIS . Instead he's allowed the Taliban to call the shots – even when it comes to evacuating of our nation's own "stranded" citizens. He's embarrassed the United States and allowed the terrorists to impose their will on the greatest nation on earth.
Friendly interviews leave journalists scratching their heads – and Democrat leaders privately groaning. But if you want to really know just how bad things are getting for Joe Biden and the Democrats, new polling from NBC News shows their numbers slipping significantly amid the recent bungling of the Afghanistan retreat – particularly among the all-important "Independent Voter."

Last Thursday, Texas Attorney General Paxton sued the San Antonio Independent School District and its superintendent for mandating that all district employees receive a COVID-19 shot – in violation of Gov. Greg Abbott’s Executive Order banning public entities from requiring individuals to receive COVID-19 vaccines. Thankfully, Paxton stopped them.
For years, when conservatives have made the obvious point that cutting taxes on savings results in more savings, that cutting taxes on investment results in more investment, or that cutting taxes on work results in more work, liberal progressives ridiculed the idea. But now Democrats have suddenly had a religious conversion, and are insisting dynamic scoring be used to evaluate their huge new spending plans.
