“In the last month alone, my district has faced two tragedies – a school shooting in Uvalde, and a deadly human trafficking operation in San Antonio. In these times of crisis, 1st Responders need state of the art technology to perform their jobs," said South Texas Cong. Tony Gonzales, after he successfully included $5,484,000 in the first draft of the 2023 Commerce, Justice & Science Appropriations Bill.
"When we prepare for disasters together, we're keeping ourselves and our loved ones safe. The State of Texas is taking proactive action to ensure we are ready to respond to any severe weather that may come our way," noted Gov. Greg Abbott, reminding Texans to be prepared for hurricane season. Over 30 Texas Emergency Management Council Agencies bolster the state’s preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation efforts.
"“Oil, natural gas & coal have lifted people out of poverty, fed the hungry, warmed the cold, healed the sick, and created a more stable world. In fact, mankind is more prepared and safer from climate change than ever before," said Texas Railroad Commission Chairman Wayne Christian, as the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency had over-stepped its bounds in implementing the Clean Air Act.
Abortion backers have for way too long gotten away with falsely claiming that Roe v. Wade "legalized" abortion in 1973. They are now falsely claiming that Roe's reversal "outlaws" abortion. During a 2020 Democrat Debate, Bernie Sanders rejected the idea of making abortion illegal at any stage of pregnancy – and virtually all other Democrats agree. But 80% of Americans think 3rd Trimester abortion should be illegal.
“My district spans more than 40% of the Southern Border, including the El Paso, Del Rio & Big Bend Sectors of the Border Patrol. In Congress, we have the responsibility to equip law enforcement with the technology & infrastructure needed to support their mission. This starts with providing the proper level funding for Customs & Border Patrol Agents, as well as Local Law Enforcement to keep our communities safe,” said Cong. Gonzales.
In response to the tragic San Antonio deaths of over 50 immigrants being smuggled inside a semi-truck earlier this week, Gov. Greg Abbott has announced an expansion of Texas’ Border Security Operations, including immediate implementation of new Vehicle Checkpoints targeting semi-trucks and the creation of additional Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) Strike Teams to fight President Biden's growing border crisis.
"Now that the U.S. Supreme Court has issued its decision in Mr. Kennedy's favor, it is abundantly clear that government cannot infringe on personal displays of prayer. Joe Kennedy, a high school football coach and a Christian, was fired for refusing to stop kneeling in prayer after games. Today's judicious ruling is a great victory for Americans of all faiths," said Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick.
"It’s vital to fully protect the 2nd Amendment Rights of law-abiding citizens to whom self-defense is a matter of life & death," said Cong. Kevin Brady after voting against the Senate gun control bill that raises Constitutional concerns. "Out of the eight deadliest cities in America, seven are located in ‘model gun control’ states — many with red flags laws that fail to reduce violence."
Confidential draft opinions are leaked illegally. A senior Democrat Senator – who now serves as Leader of the U.S. Senate – threatens Court Justices by name at the doors of the U.S. Supreme Court. The justices' homes are surrounded by protestors – and Democrats sit quietly by. The Democrats and self-proclaimed "Socialist-Democrats" have thoroughly turned off most Americans, who tire of such whiny narcissistic hypocrites.
The Democrat Party, the political left, and the liberal media establishment are all declaring that we're witnessing a "crisis of faith." They claim the highest court in the land – the U.S. Supreme Court – is "illegitimate." Why? Because they disagree with a decision adopted by a majority of the court's members. Here's how & why have these once extremist thoughts have become Democrat political mainstream.
"Over the last year, far more Americans have switched to the GOP – from Denver to Atlanta & Pittsburgh to Cleveland – as Republicans also have substantial gains in counties around medium-size cities. Nowhere is the shift more pronounced – and dangerous for Democrats – than in the suburbs, where the well-educated swing voters appear to be swinging back."
Taking a page out of Bill Clinton's playbook, Joe Biden’s strategy to “deny, deny, deny” there's any link between his policies and inflation is a recipe for failure – and deep, deep recession. But it shouldn't be a surprise to the Biden White House that there are studies documenting the linkage. Americans should expect growth to be terrible, and inflation to rise further well into 2023.
“The hell with the Supreme Court – we will defy them,” exclaimed Congresswoman Maxine Waters to protesters gathered in front of the U.S. Supreme Court immediately after the decision was announced Friday. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called out to her legion of followers, claiming the Supreme Court was “illegitimate,” while urging supporters “into the streets." And there's more.
Today, the Supreme Court upheld our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms by striking down a New York law that effectively prohibited a citizen from carrying a handgun outside the home.
"Texas has prioritized supporting women's healthcare and expectant mothers in need to give them the necessary resources so that they can choose life for their child," said Gov. Greg Abbott, following the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling to "correctly overturned Roe v. Wade" and reinstate the right of states to protect innocent, unborn children.
"Because of our trigger bill that we passed last year, in 30 days, abortion will be banned in Texas. I thank God for delivering us this day, and I am so proud that Texas has taken the lead to ensure that such evil can no longer live in our state."
The decision reverses one of the most egregious departures from the Constitution and legal precedent the United States has ever seen, and one that has resulted in the deaths of 63 million American children.
U.S. Congressman Brian Babin (TX-36) issued the following statement on his new legislation, H.Res. 1183, denouncing the acts of domestic terrorism being committed by pro-abortion extremists.
