The Festival of Trees is a beloved tradition that showcases beautifully decorated Christmas trees, each a unique masterpiece created by members of The Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary, board members, and dedicated volunteers. These splendid trees will be auctioned off, with all proceeds benefiting families in need during the holiday season.
Tax neutrality means that the tax code should not be used to reward or punish any specific behaviors, but rather should be neutral toward household and business decisions. In other words, the tax code should not encourage or discourage individuals from buying a home, from going to college, from having children, from marrying, and it should not reward or punish businesses for whether they choose to purchase equipment or lease equipment, etc.
In the last two weeks, Vice President Kamala Harris has been trying to revive her stagnant campaign by smearing Trump as being Hitlerian and a fascist. She claims Trump is planning to put his enemies in encampments. If Harris refers to Trump's supposed fascist policies during his prior four-year tenure, there is no such evidence. Nonetheless, the once "joyful" Harris is ending her campaign by trafficking in lies and smears reminiscent of the Joe McCarthy era.
From my time as Harris County Treasurer, to Houston City Council Member, I’ve heard from and seen in action just how important it is to ensure public funds are being used wisely – and that we generate additional revenue to support our communities where we can. States have the right to choose on this matter, as ruled on by the Supreme Court, and nearly 40 states have already legalized it.
U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas-21) sent a letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas demanding answers about the growing presence of the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Argua (TdA) in Texas and across America.
Governor Abbott touted the booming Texas economy while addressing a crowd of more than 200 entrepreneurs and workers, pointing to the state’s Best Business Climate ranking and reasonable regulations as primary factors for Fortune 500 companies flocking to the state and CEOs continuing to rank Texas as the Best State for Business for 20 years in a row. The Governor also praised Texas' young, diverse, growing, and highly skilled workforce as a major draw for employers from across the world to continue to do business in Texas.
With the acquisition of this border property, the GLO now owns two pieces of land on the border in Starr County – encompassing more than 4,000 acres. This most recent property acquisition includes trees that have reportedly served as “rape trees,” where migrants would display various arrays of women's clothing as “trophies” after sexual abuse. The GLO is proud to step in to ensure this property can no longer be used for this kind of heinous activity.
With more than 15 million records digitized in the past year, the Railroad Commission of Texas now has 83.4 million oil and gas records that can be searched and viewed online from anywhere in the world. The enormous amount of work is part of the RRC’s ongoing success increasing transparency and making the vast trove of information held at the agency easily available to the public.
Democrats hate you. They really do. They’ll tell you, though only by accident. The rest of the time they pretend to care, pretend they’re interested in helping you achieve your goals. They don’t mean it, they hate you. You’re nothing but a bitter, garbage person clinging to your guns and Bible, a deplorable, irredeemable case for supporting abortion in the 400th month. They may think you are garbage, but you have less than one week before you have a chance to take out the trash.
The Washington Post, USA Today, the Los Angeles Times – some of the nation's major Daily Newspapers that routinely give out their stamp of approval to Democrats and liberals during election years – are suddenly deciding to pass on endorsing Democrat Kamala Harris. The choice not to endorse Harris has provoked substantial outrage in liberal Media & Political Circles – but as The Washington Post's owner Jeff Bezos said in a rare public response, the decision is rooted not in partisanship, but in a commitment to genuine independence.
During this year’s event, TWC and Texas Workforce Solutions will host more than 30 events across the state in partnership with the Office of Governor Greg Abbott, the Texas Veterans Commission, and the Texas Medical Center. Since 2012, these free hiring events have connected more than 24,000 employers with 137,000 job seekers, including 47,000 veterans. Hiring Red, White and You! events have also resulted in more than 3,400 same-day hires.
Veteran suicide is a crisis we cannot afford to overlook – especially as the numbers continue to climb. As someone who served alongside many of these brave men & women, I'm committed to ensuring we bring this number down, eventually to zero. The "What Works for Preventing Veteran Suicide Act" is a crucial step toward improving the effectiveness of Suicide Prevention Programs within the Dept. of Veterans Affairs, which will strengthen data collection and transparency to ensure the best use of life-saving resources.
Since the launch of Operation Lone Star, the multi-agency effort has led to over 524,800 illegal immigrant apprehensions and more than 48,200 criminal arrests, with more than 41,600 felony charges. In the fight against the fentanyl crisis, Texas law enforcement has seized over 551 million lethal doses of fentanyl—enough to kill every man, woman, and child in the United States and Mexico combined during this border mission.
Philadelphia Dist. Attorney Larry Krasner on Monday filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk – now one of Donald Trump's most well-know supporters – accusing him of "running an illegal lottery in Philadelphia (as well as throughout Pennsylvania)." The lawsuit underscores the fears that Musk’s activism has generated among Democrats, liberals, various "government officials." Yet at a rally in Lancaster, PA., Musk doubled down on his commitment to Free Speech & Constitutional Values by announcing the 8th winner of his $1 million prizes.
“Texans know how long and burdensome the process to recover and rebuild after a hurricane can be – and we will do everything we can to help our fellow Americans through that," said Gov. Greg Abbott earlier today, announcing that he has directed the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) to deploy additional emergency management personnel to North Carolina to continue supporting Hurricane Helene recovery efforts, following a request from North Carolina Emergency Management.
The numbers don’t lie. Under President Biden & Vice President Harris America’s Borders are wide open – enabling terrorists, violent criminals and drug traffickers to walk right into our country. Their disastrous open-border policies enabled over 2.1 million illegal immigrations to enter our country during Fiscal Year 2024. This staggering number is only surpassed by the two previous years of the Biden-Harris White House. We could never have imagined record-high numbers like this – and Texans are bearing the brunt of their crisis.
Well… it takes a real special kind of person to not understand that energy is the basis of the U.S. Economy – of not only Texas, but the entire United States. Everything from food to clothes and housing construction materials count on energy to be produced – and when you attack fossil fuels, the core of all energy production, and drive up costs like you didn’t know that would happen, you're not just attacking the pocket books of every American and their families, she and the socialist elites could control the basic means of production – and capitalism dies.
President Trump said, “South Texas needs to elect Adam Hinojosa as their next State Senator. Adam will work hard to stop inflation, the invasion at our Southern Border, and the woke left’s desire to destroy children and families. Elect Adam Hinojosa and bring back the Great American Dream. Adam Hinojosa has my Complete and Total Endorsement! Together we will Make America Great Again.”
