“The Biden White House has waged war on women’s rights by subverting the Title IX protections they're entitled to in school – and in sports. This is a major win for Texas and its students from any future attempt by the Federal Government to impose its unlawful interpretation of Title IX that puts women and girls at risk,” said Texas Att. Gen. Ken Paxton as he secured more legal protections to prevent the Biden Administration from granting future favored status to “sexual orientation” or “gender identity.”
As two-thirds of Americans now say they believe the country "is on the wrong track," what new theme have Kamala and her running mate adopted for their Presidential Campaign? "Joy." Rent & Electricity Bills are up 10% or more the past two years – Oh JOY! Car Insurance costs are up nearly 40%. Oh JOY! Families can trade down from prime steak to a cheaper cut of meat at grocery store, but they can't do that with the water bill. And the two Democrats have "seized on a joyful message"?
The 2024 election is not a personality contest. It’s about policy. Cutting through the noise, the compelling reality stares us in the face: Our nation is in deep trouble. Most Americans believe that we are in dire need of a major course change – and frankly, it’s NOT all that complicated. Our first priorities? The U.S. Economy, Border Security, Foreign Policy, and Safe Streets. While the media would prefer to treat the 2024 Election as a personality contest, it’s not that at all.
State and federal laws prohibit noncitizens from registering and voting in any Texas election. When registering to vote, Texans must attest to being a U.S. citizen – and providing false information on a Voter Registration Form subjects applicants to criminal penalties, including jail time and fines. Ahead of the November 2024 Election, Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson reminds Texans of measures the state takes to stop noncitizen voting.

You can tell when someone really nails a politician by the way no one tries to defend them. When someone really rhetorically punches a candidate in the nose, the guilty slink away and hope the issue fades. If that candidate is attacked unfairly, the airwaves are flooded with friends and colleagues, provided by the campaign, to defend them. That no such defense of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has been forthcoming on his stolen valor allegations.
Democrat Kamala Harris has not held or scheduled a single interview since President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and she replaced him as the Democrat Nominee three weeks ago. But following a two-hour-long interview with former President Donald Trump on X last night, Elon Musk extended an invitation to V.P. Harris to join him for an interview on the platform as well. The Harris Campaign released a statement that said, “Chip in $25 now."
Democrats are economic illiterates. The Democrat Party as a whole, is odd and illogical. Democrats believe the best qualifications for public office are to be female, homosexual, and a person of color. Kamala checked two of those boxes for identity politics, got the nomination without ever getting a single vote from the electorate – and now the leftist media is asking Donald Trump if she was a DEI Hire! Oh, but Democrats are going to "Save Our Democracy."
As the Chinese Communist Party ramps up its aggression in the Indo-Pacific, it is critical that the United States strengthen our relationships in the region. In an increasingly dangerous world, I'll always champion peace through American strength, both at home and abroad. That’s why I am leading a bipartisan Congressional Delegation to the Philippines & Australia – some of the most important allies we work with to push back on the CCP’s malign agenda.

We truly appreciated the feedback from businesses who received hundreds of new candidates to employees who found the opportunity they were looking for! We had to make room for even more who showed up on the spot wanting to hire.
Since the launch of Operation Lone Star, the multi-agency effort has led to over 517,400 illegal immigrant apprehensions and more than 45,900 criminal arrests, with more than 39,800 felony charges. In the fight against the fentanyl crisis, Texas law enforcement has seized over 518 million lethal doses of fentanyl, enough to kill every man, woman, and child in the United States and Mexico combined during this border mission.
“This funding marks a critical step toward stemming the rising rate of Texans dying from opioids, including fentanyl. Every dollar can help save a Texan’s life,” said Texas Comptroller and Texas Opioid Abatement Fund Council Chairman Glenn Hegar, announcing an award to the Bexar County Hospital District to distribute medication to reverse opioid overdoses throughout the state. The grant follows a November 2023 award of up to $75 million for three grant opportunities.
“Tim Walz is a far leftist,” Johnson says. “He’s on video giving sanction to Socialism…he thinks it’s a great idea. He says that we ought to have sanctuary cities and that illegal aliens should be given drivers licenses. He champions abortion and indeed he expanded abortion rights in his state with almost no limits at all.” He adds that Walz clearly does not line up with the values of the American people.
