"Governor Abbott has tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. The Governor's been testing daily, and Tuesday was the first positive test result," said Gov. Greg Abbott's Communications Director Mark Miner, after the governor tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday. "Governor Abbott is fully vaccinated against COVID-19, is in good health, and currently is experiencing no symptoms."

“The Afghanistan withdrawal has become a geo-political catastrophe, Taliban terrorists have taken over the country in a matter of days, and as we scramble to get our own people out of the U.S. Embassy we're leaving the Afghan people and our partners to be tortured, raped and murdered by Taliban fighters," said Cong. Jodey Arrington yesterday, talking about the collapse and chaos surrounding President Joe Biden's failing withdrawal plan.

"President Biden has created an unmitigated and increasingly chaotic disaster of epic proportions by impulsively pulling U.S. troops from Afghanistan," says Texas Cong. Michael McCaul, the Ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Committee and the former Chair of the House Homeland Security Committee. Here's what he told Jake Tapper on CNN's "State of the Union".

U.S. Congressman Brian Babin (TX-36) released a statement on President Biden’s mishandling of the withdrawal from Afghanistan and the plight of Americans and Afghan allies now trapped there

The answer to the question posed by the title above is “No” – at least not alone, and I suspect Larry Elder would agree. But the hack cliché is that every journey of a 1,000 miles begins with a single step, and dumping California's Governor Gavin "Hairstyle" Newsome in favor of someone who's not a complete buffoon is a necessary first step.

“We don’t have a complete picture, obviously, of where every article of defense materials has gone. But certainly, a fair amount of it has fallen into the hands of the Taliban and we don’t have a sense they're going to readily hand it over to us,” admitted President Biden's National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan Tuesday, as State & Defense Department officials told Senate staffers they don't know how to get Americans through the quickly created Taliban checkpoints surrounding Kabul.

Governor Greg Abbott has issued a proclamation setting Tuesday, November 2, 2021 as the Special Election Day for eight proposed Constitutional Amendments in Texas, and the eight proposed Constitutional Amendments on the ballot are...

​​​​​​​“President Biden’s speech (to the Nation yesterday) was a disappointing and divisive attempt to turn this moment of genuine crisis into partisan bickering – he even bizarrely blamed Afghan troops who fought and died alongside our troops for decades for his failure," said Sen. Ted Cruz, calling for a thorough investigation of the intelligence analysis and political calculations that went into the catastrophe.

​​​​​​​“Americans, including myself, have fought and many have died in Afghanistan for two decades to ensure another 9/11 tragedy never happens again on our shores. The Biden Administration’s careless approach to allow it to get to this dire point will not be forgotten on the world stage anytime soon,” said Congressman Gonzales, who served two decades in the Navy as a cryptologist.

“Texas ABLE allows parents of children living with disabilities to Save & Invest for their children’s future – and allows adults with disabilities to save to improve their own lives,” said Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar, noting that the month of August promotes awareness of the program that helps provide financial security for Texans with Disabilities.  

Is there any issue on which Joe Biden and his team of left-wing advisors have been right? You’d think, if only by accident, they’d get something right, after all, a stopped clock is right twice a day. But you’d be wrong.

"I hate to say this, I hope we don’t have to go back there – but it will be a threat to the United States homeland in a matter of time," said the top Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Texas Cong. Michael McCaul, commenting on how President Biden has created an unmitigated disaster of epic proportions by pulling U.S. troops out of Afghanistan – without a clear plan to handle the dramatic repercussions.

A new Rasmussen Poll finds 51% of "Likely U.S. Voters" agree with Republican Sen. John Kennedy’s denunciation of the $1.2 trillion "infrastructure package" when he said, “Only 23% of the bill is real 'infrastructure.' The rest is Green New Deal and welfare. They told us it was a real 'infrastructure' bill. It’s not. They told us the bill was paid for. It isn’t." And, 63% disagree with "Defunding the Police."

Yes, you read that right. In Texas' Rio Grande Valley – where the Nation's 10 Most Hispanic Populated Counties are found – Hispanic voters moved en masse for Donald Trump. And regardless of the reason or reasons why, 3rd-Generation or higher Hispanic Voters joined with evangelicals, men, Cuban Americans, and other conservative pro-American groups to create a long-standing Republican base.

The Biden White House & Congressional Democrats control all of the levers of power, and they're using it to "transform" the country in a way that not many American voters – including even Democrats – thought they were buying into. ​​​​​​​And there's no pot of gold at the end of that rainbow – just poverty, despair and bankruptcy. But... here's where the story gets interesting!

Senate Democrats finally released their $3.5 trillion Budget Resolution Package on Monday, and as expected, it includes a laundry-list of the party’s non-budget related priorities – including the creation of a pathway to citizenship or residency for “millions of immigrant workers and families.” Its the latest step in clearing the way for President Biden and Congressional Democrat’s far-left policy agenda, and its designed to be passed without Republican support.

This has nothing to do with any threat Donald Trump or his supporters pose to the republic, as left-wing Media Alarmists continue to insist. It does have everything to do with Democrat's horrible and lackluster down-ballot performance in the 2020 Congressional & state-level elections – along with Trump’s clear intention to be very much involved in Republican's 2022 midterm elections.

In a demonstrably meritless lawsuit, after fleeing to Washington, D.C., 22 Texas House Democrats have sued some of the state’s top Republican leaders in Federal Court in Austin over their efforts to bring them home for a Special Legislative Session. The complaint reads like a press release from the DNC – asking a Federal Court to allow a lawsuit based on their own decisions to flee the state.
