While the undocumented immigrants being released have reportedly been processed with Background & Criminal Checks, the normal procedure of transporting them to facilities in Eagle Pass, Texas for housing is not possible due to lack of capacity there. As a result, "the federal government has instructed Local Border Patrol to start releasing these individuals," including at a Stripes Convenience Store in Uvalde, TX.

During the 88th Legislative Session, Lt. Gov. Patrick plans to make the Senate Committee on Higher Education a sub-committee of the Senate Committee on Education. Therefore, effective immediately, he has appointed Sen. Brandon Creighton to serve as Chair of the Senate Education Committee during the interim period prior to the 2023 Legislative Session, and Sen. Angela Paxton (R-McKinney,) to serve as Vice Chair.

“Most of the members of this committee remember the confirmation hearing of (now Supreme Court Justice) Brett Kavanaugh. In one of the lowest moments in the history of this committee, Democrats sat on allegations, didn't refer them to the FBI, didn't ask for investigations, hid them and leaked them against the wishes of the complaintant. Judge Jackson I can assure you... No one is going to inquire into your teenage dating habits. No one is going to ask you, with mock severity, ‘Do you like beer?’" said Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

"Sovereign Flavors’ relocation to the Lone Star State is great news for the people of Central Texas, and I look forward to collaborating with them to keep Texas the best place to live, work, build a business, and raise a family," said Gov. Greg Abbott after the beverage and flavoring company announced it will move its headquarters from California to Texas, and build a new 80,000-square-foot corporate headquarters in Kyle, Texas south of Austin.

For many years now, there's been a spirited debate about whether "climate change" is science, religion, or perhaps even a secret route to socialism. That question remains unanswered, and now we're discovering with certainty that "climate change" is a political albatross around the Democrat Party's neck. Truth be known, the zero fossil fuels suicide pact has always been an economic and political loser.

"I commend the hard work and selfless acts of 1,000s of First Responders & Fire Fighters who're risking their lives to protect our communities. I also ask Texans to join me in praying for those affected by these wildfires, including Eastland County Deputy Barbara Fenley who was tragically killed while trying to save lives," said Gov. Abbott after being briefed at the Eastland Fire Department.

When Congress submitted the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to the states in 1972, it required approval from three-fourths of the states to become constitutional and included a 7-year deadline for that goal to be met. The ERA fell short, and the deadline expired. "The recent motivation to resurrect the Equal Rights Amendment (today) has far less to do with actual equality, and far more to do with abortion in the event the U.S. Supreme Court overturns or limits Roe v. Wade,” said Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, joining a multi-state amicus brief opposing current efforts to now allow judicial ratification.

"There's still yet more Congress can do. I'd like to see Congress sanction Russian energy companies so they can’t continue to profit and fuel their war machine. It’s also time for Congress to unleash America’s own ability to be energy independent, replacing Russian oil with American resources, and using our own energy strengths to wean the world from Russian energy," said Cong. Kevin Brady on the Floor of the U.S. House.

In Texas, as you've probably noticed, gas prices have sky-rocketed, rising over $.80 in just one week. The record for the highest state-wide average price for gas was broken for the first time since 2008, and last Tuesday's record has been broken every day since then. President Biden has caused energy prices to skyrocket.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine is not the only thing going on. There are a lot of miserable things going on here at home in addition to the Democrat-approved kindergarten perversion propaganda and girl athletes who are boys crises. Criminals are running rampant, and it just cost me $100 bucks to fill up my sedan.

Since Gov. Greg Abbott's launch of "Operation Lone Star" – the multi-agency effort led by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) and the Texas National Guard – there have been more than 215,000 migrant apprehensions, more than 12,400 charges for criminal offenses, ​​​over 3,300 illegal weapons have been seized, and nearly $30 million in currency have been seized. Here are the incredible details.

“The Ayatollah exploits these Civil Nuclear Waivers to build up Iran’s nuclear program with the express intention of inflicting destruction on America and our allies. That’s why I’ve introduced legislation to stop the waivers allowing Russia to build up Iran’s nuclear program. Biden is dismantling sanctions and is aching to secure a new agreement with the Iranian regime that's even weaker than the original Obama-Iran nuclear deal," said Cruz.

The funding will support the commission’s activities related to building economic stability across the southwest as the country recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Every once in a while reality comes along, slaps us in the face, and reminds us that some things are more important than others. Russia’s indefensible, brutal invasion of its neighbor Ukraine, China’s increasing belligerence and military expansion, and our disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan are leading most observers to realize the United States is going to have to increase defense spending.

The apparent alliance of Russia & China – however strained – along with their friendly ties with Iran raise dangers for the United States and its allies that America's president and his Democrat-Socialist Party "leaders" continue to ignore, downplay or deny. Can and will the world's other leaders rise to the terrifying moment?

"According to Customs & Border Patrol arrest data, the agency has arrested 2,424 Criminal Aliens so far this year. Although it is only March, this is just 14 arrests shy of the Total Number of Arrests made in all of FY 2020. These individuals have been convicted of murder, rape, assault, robbery, weapons & drug possession, and other crimes," wrote Sen. Ted Cruz and 21 of his fellow Senators to President Biden's Homeland Security Secretary, demanding answers about the president's negligence & Open Borders Policies.

“President Zelenskyy’s powerful remarks to Congress yesterday only strengthened our resolve to further isolate and weaken Putin," said Ways & Means Committee Chairman Richard E. Neal (D-MA) and Ways & Means Republican Leader Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX) earlier today as they introduced legislation to suspend Normal Trade Relations with Vladimir Putin's Russia and Belarus. “We must do all we can to hold Putin accountable for senselessly attacking the Ukrainian people and undermining global stability," said the Congressmen of their bi-partisan effort to build on last week’s Energy Import Ban and inflict even greater economic pain on Russian.
