Nearly 500,000 Texans will benefit from the settlement, whom Intuit misled into purchasing its tax products when they were already eligible to file their taxes for free. Eligible Texas consumers should begin receiving their restitution payments within the next few months.
Does anyone remember 2008? It was only 14 years ago, but Washington never learns. Never. Back then, America suffered through one of the most significant & painful financial crises in our nation's history, and the worst losses since the crash of 1929. Millions of Americans lost their jobs, 100s of 1,000s lost their homes, and now many of the same signs of a housing bubble are flashing – again.
"There are proposals for high-speed rail projects in Texas that do not have necessary Permits & Authorizations from federal agencies to begin construction and operate in compliance with U.S. safety regulations,” wrote Cong. Kevin Brady and some of his fellow Members from Texas and California, where federally-driven high speed rail projects continue to languish with cost over-runs and delays.
"Our state and our economy continue to reach new heights thanks to your efforts, and by working together, we will continue to keep Texas the best state to live, to work, and to raise a family," said Gov. Abbott, explaining how the Texas economy is the economic engine of America, with a highly skilled workforce and the endless business opportunities existing right here in the Lone Star State.
“You can't simply label as ‘disinformation’ all speech you disagree with – or find politically damaging to your cause – and expect Americans to tolerate the government telling them what they can think or say,” said Texas Att. Gen. Ken Paxton, joining several other states in insisting Homeland Security Sect. Alejandro Mayorkas immediately disband the 1st Amendment threat & policing of Free Speech.
If the Media & Joe Biden could find a way to blame inflation on Supreme Court Justice Sam Alito, you might never hear of Ukraine again. The Biden White House (and the President himself,) is puttering from one distraction to another, desperate to prevent you from thinking about what they’ve actually done. Unfortunately you get a stark reminder every time you fill your tank or try to buy baby food.
“At the very time that our state's facing an unprecedented Border Crisis and our brave men & women are serving Texas in Operation Lone Star, it appears that the liberal State Bar’s handpicked cronies are misusing Charitable Funds to make the situation even worse,” said Attorney General Paxton. “I will not let this illegal behavior continue any further."
"It is fundamentally unfair to hold Americans to a higher standard than the 1,000s of Illegal Immigrants that Joe Biden is allowing to waltz into our communities. The PAUSE Act will prevent further destruction of America’s borders by the Biden Administration and preserve Title 42," said House sponsor Yvette Herrell of New Mexico, as Senators Ted Cruz, Mike Lee & Cynthia Lummis introduced a similar bill in the U.S. Senate.
“Like too many in her profession, Donna Doss made the greatest sacrifice protecting the Community & Country she loved,” said Texas Cong. Jodey Arrington after President Joe Biden signed the "Donna M. Doss Memorial Act" renaming the Rocksprings, Texas Border Patrol Station in her honor. She gave the ultimate sacrifice after serving 15 years as a Border Patrol Agent, and was killed in the line of duty on February 2nd, 2019.
We simply cannot allow ourselves to become a nation of serfs toiling in the fields for a bunch of far-left Democrats who – in any Just & Sane Society – would spend their lives living in fear of getting wedgies for being so bizarre. All leftists (and most every Democrat these days,) are insufferable, but this current crop is way over the line. Think Nina Jankowicz, Joe Biden's new "Determinator of Truth."
This giveaway to the financially successful will be paid for by the middle-class worker, millions of whom didn't even go to college themselves! Think about it: Who would ever pay off a student loan ever again? This plan makes suckers out of millions of Americans – most especially those families who have felt honor-bound to pay off their debts.
On a bi-partisan vote of 86-12, the U.S. Senate overwhelmingly approved a motion by Sen. Ted Cruz stating that Terrorism Sanctions on Iran – specifically on the Central Bank of Iran and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps – were necessary to check cooperation between Iran & China. The Senate made it abundantly clear it will reject any attempt by President Biden to dismantle Terrorism Sanctions.
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has approved Texas' request for a "Disaster Declaration" in 8 Texas counties affected by the Eastland Complex Fire, and is granting access to its Home Disaster Loan, Business Physical Disaster Loan, and Economic Injury Disaster Loan Programs in order to provide low-interest loans to qualifying homeowners, renters, and businesses. Here's how.
"Our various investment funds' focus should be on getting the best return on their funds. If companies they invest in take positions that harm Texas, they need to re-evaluate those investments," said Texas' Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, following news that several of the Employee Retirement System of Texas' (ERS) proxy votes go against the spirit of State Law passed by the 87th Texas Legislature
"This is what happens when a President treasures his unpopular socialist agenda over the needs of American workers, families & Main Street businesses,” said House Ways & Means Committee Leader Kevin Brady after a key measurement for inflation showed prices increasing by 6.6% – the highest since 1982 – while real Disposable Personal Income dropped again by 0.4%.
The chances of Joe Biden winning the 2024 Democrat Nomination are not looking good. There's not a Democrat I talk to – and there are a bunch with ideologically-diverse views – that thinks he gets the nod in '24. They acknowledge he'll sink them in the mid-terms, and after being assigned the blame will be shoved aside in 2024. The most interesting part? This is being taken as a given by many Democrats.
“If the leaked draft is indeed accurate, it's a great day for innocent babies in the womb. They will finally be safe in Texas, and in other Republican states. I'm sure the left will fight to allow abortion in Texas, but, they will not win that fight,” said Texas' Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, referring to the "Trigger Bill" passed during the 2021 Legislative Session that ensures abortion is banned in Texas if Roe is overturned.
“Enforcing and upholding the Rule of Law in Texas is of the utmost importance, and I encourage all qualified individuals who are interested to submit their information to the review committee,” said Sen. Cornyn, as he and Sen. Cruz announced they are extending the deadline for candidate applications to fill U.S. District Court vacancies in both the Western and the Southern Districts of Texas.
