Greg Abbott as he welcomed former President Donald Trump for a Border Security Briefing with State Officials and Law Enforcement Officers in Weslaco, Texas, prior to touring a portion of the unfinished border wall in Pharr, Texas.
"McAllen, Texas, down in the Rio Grande Valley – historically 80% Democratic – just elected a Republican Mayor because the people said, 'Enough already with this chaos that Joe Biden & Kamala Harris has given us – We need to enforce our law and we need to secure our borders,'" said Sen. Ted Cruz, joining Fox News’ ‘Hannity’ to discuss the Democrats’ hypocrisy concerning their repeated calls to "defund the police".
Cong.

"My district is over 40% of the nation's Southern Border," said Texas Cong. Tony Gonzales, speaking in support of the effort to require an "Emergency Declaration" from the president to facilitate deploying of appropriate federal employees.

"Hey, want a banana?" My head jerked up to locate the racist. Turns out the man who bellowed was standing next to his SUV, tailgate open, where I saw a big bag of bananas. The man was talking to a homeless guy picking through trash in a nearby garbage can. Both the SUV driver and the homeless man were white.

Following the border tour, Buckingham will participate in FOX News' nationally televised Town Hall with Sean Hannity later in the evening.
"I'm grateful for the local partners in our South Texas Border Communities who are willing to work alongside the State to keep Texans safe, and secure the border," said Gov.

For most homeowners their home is their most valuable investment and asset. That’s why many homeowners are over the moon about the news that housing prices rose an astonishing 23.6% year over year in May.

The Texas Workforce Commission is introducing “Start My VR” – an online, self-referral portal for prospective vocational rehabilitation customers that can provide a convenient way for individuals with disabilities who are seeking employment to inquire about Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) Services and/or be connected to a VR staff member.
All politicians tell lies, but the Biden-Harris Administration is taking lies to a new level. To paraphrase a quote attributed to the 19th-century British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli, there are lies, damn lies... and then there's Vice President Kamala Harris. They now want us to disbelieve what we can see.
"This is not the first time, and undoubtedly will not be the last, that a governor vetoes funding for government positions & salaries.

For Democrats, everything is either racist or progressive – but there's really no difference between the two. Progressivism & progressives are racists at their very core. It saturates their body to the bone, and they never stop beating the drum. The hypocritical "Race Theory" belched out by Democrats today is nearly as offensive as the racism that defines their existence.
"The time for emergency COVID relief spending is over. The time for endless government checks is over. Never-ending government checks won’t help people rebuild their lives & they won’t help rebuild the U.S. economy," said Cong. Kevin Brady on the floor of the U.S. House.
An estimated 7-or-8% of Americans will experience PTSD at some point in their lives, and women are about twice as likely as men (10% to about 4%) to suffer from it. PTSD occurs after someone experiences or witnesses a life-threatening event, and can last long enough to impair the person’s daily life.
“This is a significant next step in our Ports-to-Plains effort, and Texas' growth – now the world’s 9th Largest Economy – necessitates a north-to-south Interstate to connect Mexico to West Texas, America’s heartland.
