Could a second Biden term be more injurious to the economy than his first term? It seems unimaginable given the first three years gave us 20% inflation, a $2,000 loss in average real incomes for the middle class, 6 million added illegal immigrants, a war on American energy that has caused gas prices to rise by more than 40% to $3.64 a gallon, the collapse of our many major cities, another $6 trillion added to the national debt, the unaffordability of new homes, and the chaos on college campuses.
Since the start of the Federal Government's Fiscal Year 2024 on October 1st, our Border Patrol Agents have encountered some 18,500 illegal immigrants with Criminal Histories – including 248 known Gang Members. They've also apprehended 76 known or suspected terrorists at our Southern Border. FBI Director Christopher Wray recently warned that the United States is at its greatest risk of a terrorist attack on U.S. soil since September 11, 2001 – adding that he sees "blinking lights everywhere."
"President Biden is not just authorized – he is required to deny illegal entry, detain illegal immigrants, and build border barriers," said Gov. Greg Abbott, following President Biden's announcement that his Dept. of Homeland Security will try to address the historic levels of illegal immigrants entering our country via a set of new proposals. "To be clear, President Biden’s feckless proposals – which he could have done years ago – do nothing to slow the record-breaking illegal immigration," said Gov. Abbott.
Since taking office, Joe Biden’s released millions of illegal aliens into the country, not to mention the “gotaways.” In many states, these illegal aliens are eligible for driver’s licenses & other benefits – which provides ample opportunities to illegally Register to Vote in Federal Elections. In some jurisdictions, non-citizens are already even able to vote in Local Elections. While only U.S. citizens can legally vote in Federal Elections, Federal law has often preempted and undermined state laws requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote in Local Elections.
“President Biden is hell-bent on making American’s energy more expensive – and less reliable – just to virtue signal to his radical environmentalist friends and his globalist allies,” said Texas Railroad Commissioner Wayne Christian, following reports that 27 states’ Attorney Generals had filed a lawsuit against the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) over Mr. Biden's newest rules for fossil fuel-based power plants. "I applaud General Paxton and the other states on this legal challenge," said Christian.
You may have noticed the campus communist uprisings are fading into the background, at least for the moment. It was pretty clear that the entitled – and universally ugly – spoiled mutants (and their professional cadre organizers) were starting to get on the collective nerves of normal Americans, plus the Biden clique was already committing to betraying Israel in favor of the terrorists. The regime media has dialed it down as they served their purpose.
"We do not like the Border Patrol, we do not trust the Border Patrol,” said Joe Biden's Assistant Secretary for Border & Immigration Policy at the Department of Homeland Security, Blas Nuñez-Neto. The Biden White House's clampdown on Border Patrol was intentional – and based on his political appointees’ personal vendettas, said one former Border Patrol Chief in an interview, adding that they and other Border Agency leaders were forced to stay out of sight when the Biden Border Crisis erupted.
Figures released earlier this week show that part-time jobs have surged by 1 million over the past year– while full-time positions have dropped by over 500,000. And after failing to slow inflation that's increased gas & grocery prices, the Federal Reserve now says it unlikely to cut Interest Rates this year as promised. With these and other negative developments confronting the American Voter, it's no wonder the latest "Consumer Confidence Index" deteriorated for the 3rd straight month – from 103.1 in March, to 97 in April.
It was a Dumpster Fire that New York Judge Juan Merchan watched burn for a full day in his courtroom yesterday – and then said the jury may have to disregard much of what they saw or heard. To this day, neither prosecutors trying the case, nor the Manhattan District Attorney who brought it, have said or defined exactly what crime former President Trump is being tried for. And, "Adult Film Star" Stormy Daniels – who has previously said the alleged tryst never happened – will be back on the stand Thursday.
President Biden went to Capitol Hill today and spoke at the U.S. Holocaust Museum’s Memorial Days of Remembrance Event. He addressed the explosion of anti-Semitism that's occurring under his watch, but the problem is that Mr. Biden is empowering anti-Semites every time he condemns anti-Semitism and Islamophobia in the same breath. Anti-Semitism is hatred. Islamophobia is not hatred, but a fear of radical Islam based upon what radical Islamists regularly do.
U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, joined by Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), today introduced legislation to enhance support for U.S. diplomats and officials seeking to secure Mexican compliance with the 1944 Treaty on Utilization of Waters of the Colorado, Tijuana, and Rio Grande Rivers. This legislation would make sure future deliveries of water by Mexico are predictable and reliable.
Congressman Tony Gonzales (TX-23) hosted a school safety and security roundtable in Washington, D.C. Congressman Gonzales is the founder and Co-Chair of the Congressional Bipartisan School Safety and Security Caucus. Members of the caucus work with educators, law enforcement personnel, school safety experts, and parents to foster safer classrooms for children across the United States.
In the ongoing fight to protect American interests from foreign interference, third-party litigation financing (TPLF) has emerged as another tool for foreign powers to pursue their strategic agendas—using our nation’s legal system as the vehicle. And the implications for the security of our country are starting to crystallize. In TPLF arrangements, entities ranging from private equity funds to foreign investors inject capital into cases in return for a share of any recovery
Texas Oil & Gas Association (TXOGA) President Todd Staples and TXOGA Chief Economist Dean Foreman both testified before the Texas House Select Committee on Protecting Texas LNG Exports’ hearing in Port Arthur, which focused on Joe Biden’s recent decision to pause Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) export permit approvals.
The country is waking up to the reality that a bachelor's degree no longer equates with graduates being broadly educated and analytical. Just as often, they are stereotyped as pampered, largely ignorant, and gratuitously opinionated. No wonder polls show a drastic loss of public respect for higher education and, specifically, a growing lack of confidence in the professoriate.
The Austin City Council has shown continual disregard for both the laws of the State of Texas, and for the health & safety of its citizens. The Austin City Council should remember that the city is a political subdivision of the State of Texas – and derives its authority from the State. There is already growing momentum in the Texas Legislature for the State to strip the City of Austin of its autonomy and take over city governance.
“As Texas Land Commissioner, I am charged with determining whether granting an easement to access state-owned submerged land for transmission lines to shore is in Texas’ best interest. Right now, I see significant economic, practical, and environmental concerns,” said Texas Land Commissioner, Dawn Buckingham, putting the Biden White House on notice that its second proposal for an Offshore Wind Energy Sale may be in trouble.
"I applaud the University of Texas' President Jay Hartzell for enforcing Law & Order on campus. Protecting students from criminal acts and ensuring they have access to the classroom should not be a novel concept – however, on many campuses today, university leaders have abdicated their responsibility to protect students in exchange for pandering to the threats & criminal agenda of a minority mob of protestors," said former university Vice Chancellor and Texas Congressman, Jodey Arrington.
