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.

“In 2020, Austin Police defended the State Capitol from criminal assault, protected the Austin Police Department Headquarters from being overrun, cleared Interstate 35 from being shut down, and disrupted criminal activity in areas across the city. Many officers were physically attacked while protecting Austin. Those officers should be praised for their efforts, not prosecuted."

“Last week the Harris County Commissioners Court approved a budget plan rejecting 82% of the funding requests from Law Enforcement Agencies in the county. People are begging for safer streets and our police outlined the resources they need to combat this dangerous spike in crime – yet County Commissioners are turning a deaf ear. Rest assured; counties that choose to 'Defund the Police' will be held accountable.”

We are likelier to avoid war with Russia by backing up our diplomacy with military might – that strengthens deterrence – than by telegraphing what we are afraid of. President Biden needs to up his game. Mr. Biden’s troubles stem from an arrogance that he’s right – he has always been right. But the real problem in Mr. Biden's policy is, the president.

If a challenge was to name any Postmaster General other than Benjamin Franklin, your money would be safe – unless you're a Socialist-Democrat or Liberal Activist. Then the name Louis DeJoy will roll of your tongue with venom. Democrats want DeJoy gone so President Biden can name his own henchman to ram through “voting by mail reforms” and implemented their plan as needed. Then, the rest of the mail services the Post Office provides would become irrelevant.

"Because the Texas Department of Family & Protective Services is responsible for protecting children, I hereby direct your agency to conduct a prompt and thorough investigation of any reported instances of these abusive procedures in the State of Texas," reads the letter Gov.

“As we see global tensions increase between Russia and our allies, it’s imperative we reduce global reliance on energy from all of America’s adversaries," said Cong. Tony Gonzales while introducing his bill to expand natural gas exports to the United States’ allies and trading partners. A companion bill has been introduced in the Senate by Senators Marco Rubio, Bill Cassidy, and Mike Rounds.

"I'm outraged by the UT Faculty Council's 41-5 vote in support of teaching Critical Race Theory, and am outraged the Faculty Council told the Texas Legislature and the UT Board of Regents its none of their business what they taught. Its time more oversight is provided, and in the upcoming Legislative Session one of my priorities will be eliminating tenure at public universities in Texas," said Lt. Gov. Patrick.

“I worry that we are either on the verge of, or already in a wage price spiral – which is something you don't want because inevitably the only way to break that spiral is through a recession,” said Cong. Kevin Brady, the top Republican on the powerful tax-writing and oversight House Ways & Means Committee during Fox News' “Sunday Night in America”.

Joe Biden's approval ratings with Blacks is plummeting. A recent Quinnipiac Poll says Black approval during Biden's first year in office dropped from 78% to 57% ​​​– and another new report from Pew Research shows that the sharpest drop in "approval" for President Biden is occurring among the Democrat Party's most loyal and consistent supporter group – Black Protestants.

“Vladimir Putin's announcement that Russia would be deploying forces into Ukraine must be met with an immediate response. This is just the latest step in his obsessive drive to rebuild the Soviet Union at the expense of the national security of the United States and our allies.​The crisis now creates unknowable and acute dangers for our European NATO allies, whom we are bound by treaty to help defend."

"There were 29 separate incidents of protesters violently attacking Police Officers during these riots, and none are facing charges. At least 12 officers suffered significant injuries. The highest-ranking law enforcement officer in Travis County is required to apply the law fairly, and he's violating his oath,” said Save Austin Now co-founders Matt Mackowiak & Cleo Petricek, after 19 Austin Police Officers were indicted by the Travis County District Attorney.

Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick appointed Mark Ammerman of Houston, Jerome “Joey” Hall of Keller, Edwin Patrick Jenevein III of Dallas, and Kenneth Stevens of Navasota to the State Energy Plan Advisory Committee, saying, ​​​​​​​“I have total confidence that these appointees will provide top-quality recommendations to verify that our Electricity & Natural Gas Markets are as sound and strong as possible.”

I suspect most Americans don't know what Canada's Marxist prime minister, Justin Trudeau, is doing to his country. For only the second time in history other than wartime – the first was under his father Pierre Trudeau, the only other Marxist to govern Canada – Justin Trudeau has invoked the "Emergencies Act," enabling him to suspend fundamental human rights and rule as a dictator.

"After Afghanistan, the consequences are all of our enemies across the globe are looking to Washington and taking the measure of the man in the Oval Office. As a result, the chances of Russia invading Ukraine have just risen tenfold. The chances of China invading Taiwan have risen tenfold," said Senator Ted Cruz, scorching President Biden and his administration for their disastrous foreign policy failures.

"Lives are tragically being lost, and communities are being devastated," said Gov. Greg Abbott of the open border policies put in place by President Biden. ​​​"These lax policies invite crime into our communities, dangerous actors more easily enter our country and wreak havoc on innocent families, and we mourn with the families whose loved ones were killed by illegal immigrants." 

"People see the need for property tax relief," said State Sen. Paul Bettencourt. ​​​​​​​"These propositions – to be voted on by the public on May 7th, 2022 – provide over $600 million in relief to homeowners for 1st Year Homestead Exemptions and those over 65 or disabled freeze value per biennium,"" Bettencourt said, explaining the two Property Tax Relief Propositions on the upcoming May 7th Ballot.
