Trump was tremendously successful in keeping his selection a secret. He kept his choice a secret until almost literally the last minute -- Vance was notified that he had been selected about 20 minutes before Trump publicly announced it on TruthSocial, his social media network. Senator J.D. Vance could help the ticket win the crucial states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. If he does help win even just one of those states, he will very likely be the next vice president of the United States.
Joe Biden's sagging support among the nation's Black Voters has set off alarm bells within the Democrat Party – and is raising hopes Donald Trump could score historic gains with one of "the backbones" of the Democrat Party's coalition. Have Black Americans felt “bullied” by Democrats while under the strain of "Bidenomics"? Are they having an “awakening” brought on by the masses of Hispanics Biden's allowing to stream across the U.S. Southern Border? Black Republicans are increasing in droves.
Don’t expect to see the same Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention this week that took the stage and was nearly shot to death in Butler, PA., last Saturday. Don’t expect to see the man who’s fought 2 Impeachments, 1 Conviction, the entire media, the Deep State, Big Tech, and societal machines that've been aligned against him for 8+ years now. Expect something different, something more. Expect a more selfless warrior who has those profound, deep-setting scars of a near-death experience.
After lengthy deliberation and thought, and considering the tremendous talents of many others, I have decided that the person best suited to assume the position of Vice President of the United States is Senator J.D. Vance of the Great State of Ohio. J.D. honorably served our Country in the Marine Corps, graduated from Ohio State University in two years, Summa Cum Laude, and is a Yale Law School Graduate, where he was Editor of The Yale Law Journal, and President of the Yale Law Veterans Association
"Everyone should be prepared for severe weather events, including during hurricane season. That's why the lack of power provided by CenterPoint compromises our No. 1 Goal: protecting life," said Gov. Greg Abbott as he toured a resource staging area at NRG Park in Houston, thanking 1st Responders who've worked around the clock to help their fellow Texans throughout Hurricane Beryl. After the tour Abbott held a Press Briefing with State & Local Officials to provide an update on the state’s continued response and recovery efforts.
“Texas farmers and cities are suffering because Mexico has consistently failed to uphold its end of the bargain and provide Texans with the water they count on in the framework of the 1944 Water Treaty. This amendment strengthens the Treaty by introducing measures the Secretary of State must and can take to ensure Mexico provides predictable and reliable deliveries," said Sen. Ted Cruz, as he and Sen. John Cornyn introduced their effort to create a new framework for the waters of the Colorado, Tijuana, and Rio Grande Rivers.
AG Ken Paxton sent a letter to the U.S. Senate detailing the pressing need to support legislation passed by the United States House to safeguard American elections by requiring people to provide proof of citizenship before being allowed to vote in federal elections. Current federal law prohibits states from requiring proof of citizenship, even though federal law also prohibits non-citizens from voting in federal elections.
Trump said when he stood up and saw the crowd had not moved, he needed to tell them that he and the country were going to be OK: "The energy coming from the people there in that moment, they just stood there. It's hard to describe what that felt like, but I knew the world was looking. I knew that history would judge this, and I knew I had to let them know we are OK."
The courage and determination of former President Trump during and after Saturday's events were heroic. I'm saddened to learn of the passing of Corey Comperatore, an innocent attendee who died shielding his wife and daughter from gunfire. He is a father, husband, and beloved retired Fire Chief in his community – and epitomizes the America we all long for. Within minutes of Saturday’s events, I mobilized the House Subcommittee on Intelligence & Counterterrorism to review U.S. Secret Service actions before, during & after the event.
"This agreement will encourage investment, trade, and collaboration in critical (economic) areas such as medicine, life sciences, biotechnology, energy, innovation, and so much more. As Texas and Japan drive the future of innovation, this trade agreement will provide our two peoples with the economic freedom and opportunity to thrive for generations to come. Texas and Japan are economic powerhouses set to dominate the technologically advanced future,” said Gov. Abbott.
"This disastrous rule threatens American jobs and undermines the production of energy in the Permian Basin," said Sen. Ted Cruz, introducing legislation to reverse a "Final Rule" issued by the Biden White House's Fish & Wildlife Service listing the Dunes Sagebrush Lizard under the Endangered Species Act. "We will not allow the President to take control of private property, kill energy jobs in the Permian Basin, and increase energy costs for American consumers,” said Cong. August Pfluger.
The Texas Workforce Commission is now accepting applications for Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA) as a result of severe weather due to Hurricane Beryl. Workers and self-employed individuals in Brazoria, Chambers, Galveston, Harris, Jackson, Jasper, Jefferson, Liberty, Matagorda, Montgomery, Orange, Polk, San Jacinto, Walker, and Wharton Counties who have been unable to work due to damage sustained from Hurricane Beryl may be eligible for DUA benefits.
Democrats finally have reason to shake their collectivist little heads over political violence. And we know they're pounding their collective heads against the wall because they fear Donald Trump’s glorious defiance Saturday in the face of his attempted murder may just have won him a landslide election. Joe Biden represents the failed present. The secret of Donald Trump is, he represents both our glorious past, and a future where things work for us Average Americans. Raise your fists patriots, America will be great again.
President Biden had nominated Sarah Netburn to serve as U.S. Dist. Judge for the Southern District of New York. While serving as a Magistrate Judge, Netburn went against Federal Bureau of Prisons recommendations and housed a biological male serial rapist in a women’s prison in Texas – who has now reportedly committed another sexual offense against the women in the prison. "Congratulations, Judge Netburn, that’s what you’re doing to the women in this prison.”
On Monday, I took to the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives with a certificate signed by Gov. Greg Abbott to extend my thanks to Lt. Jack Kielty (Ret.) of FDNY. Back in March, Lt. Kielty came to Franklin, Texas to present a mortgage-free personalized smart home to Sgt. Maj. Sid Hamid, USA (Ret.), through the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. At the event, Lt. Kielty shared the story of the founding of Tunnel to Towers by the siblings of firefighter Stephen Siller – a hero who gave his life rescuing others on 9/11.
“I’m proud to be able to serve on the House Appropriations Committee, which has one of the most important jobs in Congress – ensuring that your taxpayer dollars are used responsibly. Our taxpayer dollars do no good sitting in Washington for the federal government to burn, which is why I’ve remained focused on bringing funding home to South & West Texas for tangible projects that improve our communities,” said Cong. Tony Gonzales of the 15 Community Project Funding (CPF) programs he is working to push through Congress.
“The State of Texas continues to deploy all resources and assistance needed to help Texans and communities impacted by Hurricane Beryl,” said Gov. Abbott, as Acting Governor Dan Patrick today requested that FEMA grant eligibility for Individual Assistance for qualifying Texans in the following counties: Brazoria, Chambers, Galveston, Harris, Jackson, Jasper, Jefferson, Liberty, Matagorda, Montgomery, Orange, Polk, San Jacinto, Walker, and Wharton. Additional counties may be requested at a later date as damage assessments are completed.
For years now, when Joe Biden's public comments or reclusiveness prompts too much gossip that he is near senile, he's wheeled out for a staged "interview" that must be edited before it is released – or he answers "questions" that have been secretly shown to him in advance. Any dissenters are publicly demonized as peddlers of "cheap fakes." Yet our nation's Pravda-like journalists have sworn to the American people that, in private, the reclusive, three-day-a-week Biden outpaces the energy and drive of those half his age.
