One of my early memories – and not a happy one – is sitting in gas lines in the 1970s. My parents would rustle me out of bed early on frigid February mornings and we'd pack into the Ford and speed over to the gas station. Something terribly wrong was going on in our country back then. Make no mistake: the 84-cent-per-gallon price hike of today is a highly regressive "tax" on America's motorists.
The pandemic's revealed that many school districts across Texas can’t or won’t meet the needs of our state's families, or our students. Charter Schools are stepping in to fill the gaps – which means some typical Public School Officials are getting creative to protect their turf.

The lightbulb has gone off. Biden's only been president for a little over 100 days, and he supposedly got the most votes of any candidate in history. He should be wildly popular right now, considering we're still in the "honeymoon phase." Instead, Americans have turned on him – here's why?
“Paid leave is infrastructure. Child care is infrastructure. Caregiving is infrastructure,” declared Democrat Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York. Education is now part of "Infrastructure." Taxes are also part of "Infrastructure." Fighting "Climate Change" with a new a “Civilian Climate Corps” is infrastructure. Even "bipartisanship" is "Infrastructure," right? Isn’t building bridges easier than that?

Greg Abbott announced that the Texas Health & Human Services Commission has received approval from the U.S. Department of Agriculture for a second round of federal P-EBT food benefits for families with children who have lost access to free or reduced-price school meals due to COVID-19.

Congressional backers of the "Endless Frontiers Act" are optimistic a final bill could pass the Senate before June, representing the culmination of a two-month effort by a handful of Senate Committees to draw up bi-partisan legislation aimed at out-competing China. Texas' Senator, Ted Cruz, applauded the committee’s vote for the following reasons.
“My Congressional District represents 820 miles of U.S.-Mexico Border, which is 40% of our Southern Border. I will tell you the Biden Border Crisis is as bad as it’s ever been, and it is only getting worse,” said Texas Cong.

The Olympics might not happen this year (again), but the "Woke" Olympics are continuing unabated. The latest entrant to the competition is the Vice-President of the United States, Kamala Harris.
