Masked left-wing protesters were unashamedly and virulently antisemitic. Students on elite campuses especially showed contempt for both middle-class police officers tasked with preventing their violence and vandalism as well as the maintenance workers who had to clean up their garbage. Mobs took over buildings, assaulted Jewish students, called for the destruction of Israel, and defaced American monuments and commentaries. When pressed by journalists to explain their protests, most students knew nothing of the politics or geography of Palestine, for which they were protesting.
By any normal standard, Alvin Bragg failed his duties as District Attorney by flagrantly distorting the process to manufacture 34 felony charges to file against Donald Trump. Yet by today's prevailing standards on the left, he's faithfully fulfilled his duty by rigging the Criminal Justice System against the man they so desperately hate & fear. Their recklessness now further undermines American's faith in the U.S., while their alluring idea of defeating Trump continues to prove illusory. It involves becoming the most powerful political leader in the Free World.
After the jury began deliberating Wednesday morning following Judge Juan Merchan's delivering instructions on how to deliberate the relevant legal definitions and considerations of the trial, former President Donald Trump sat sullenly – looking down at the table before him – as the verdict was read Thursday afternoon bringing an end to a weeks-long trial that dominated headlines and led to a historic conviction that will be wielded against the presumptive GOP nominee throughout the rest of his 2024 Campaign.
The bipartisan FAA Reauthorization Bill, which Sen. Cruz authored along with Commerce Committee Chairwoman Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) and was signed into law this month, contains numerous provisions that will improve safety and efficiency at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. The law requires the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to hire the maximum amount of Air Traffic Controllers, which will help address staffing shortfalls at the airport. Other provisions include...
This rout might be the most momentous victory for educational choice in American history. Gov. Greg Abbott – who calls universal education freedom his "legacy" – said Tuesday night he "now has enough votes to pass school choice.” He'll still have to work with Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan, who has often cooperated with Democrats in slowing down school choice, but Phelan won his own run-off race by just 1% of the vote. And after the defeat of 15 of his anti-School Choice colleagues, he may realize school choice is an idea whose time has come.
Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham reminds families and the public to participate in the 2024 Texas Coastal Roundup on June 1, 2024, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.. This free education and outreach event will allow Texans to learn more about how the GLO works with coastal organizations to safeguard and conserve the Texas coast. The Texas Coastal Roundup will occur at the Great Lawn at Waters Edge Park in Corpus Christi.
“Putting money away for your children’s college funds while paying everyday expenses can be difficult, because there are so many competing needs. But my wife and I made a commitment to start each of our 3 children with a 529 College Savings Plan when they were born, and we had to start small,” said Glenn Hegar on "529 College Savings Day," sharing his views about the importance of families saving for their children’s higher education at any 2- or 4-year Texas public college or university. "The key is, we started,” said Hegar.
Bigotry with a smile is still bigotry, and Biden has been marinating in it since the days when he used to let black kids pet his leg hair. From calling Barack Obama “clean and articulate,” to insisting it is impossible to go into a 7-11 in Delaware “without a slight Indian accent,” Joe has a long list of racist quotes, and that’s without even mentioning his opposition to school integration because he didn’t want his kids going to school in a racial jungle. Still, Democrats insist Joe is Jerry Maguire – “I’m ‘Mr. Black People!’”
The latest devastating poll results for National Democrats and Joe Biden were delivered by Rasmussen Reports on Tuesday. More Democrats than Republicans now say they want President Joe Biden kicked off the ticket – with 54% of Democrat "Likely Voters" saying they would "approve" of Mr. Biden being replaced. Just 37% of Democrats said they would "disapprove" of replacing him. It's an unparalleled and shocking dismissal of the Democrat Party chief – and the lack of a viable 2nd choice may also be playing a key role in depressing Democrats.
When it comes to measuring the country's national rate of inflation, the latest government gimmick will infuriate you – particularly when it comes to measuring the cost of your morning cup of coffee. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) uses a "basket of goods" to calculate the inflation rate – which is supposed to represent what regular Americans buy. The problem is, they keep taking things out of the basket. In fact, the April 2024 CPI inflation report last week was the first to NOT include coffee price inflation.
Weakness invites aggression – and we had better believe that our adversaries see it. It all began with the catastrophic fall of Afghanistan – when Joe Biden's White House failed to establish any form of deterrence to counter the threat of the CCP, the Chinese Communist Party. And as a result today, the United States is on the brink of total destabilization in the Middle East, Israel is fighting for its very existence from the terrorist threat of Hamas, Hezbollah & Iran, and its time we return to the Reagan Doctrine of "Peace Through Strength."
"Our country remains the greatest Force for Freedom the world has ever known, and that freedom has been preserved, protected & defended by the mightiest military in the history of the world," said Gov. Abbott, delivering the keynote address and reminding Texans to honor and remember those who've served in the U.S. Armed Forces to safeguard American Liberties – not just on Memorial Day, but every day. The Governor also called for a renewed dedication to caring for military families and increasing veteran career resources in Texas.
Harmony Charter Schools is expanding, and plans to open two additional campuses for the 2025-2026 school year by beginning to serve students in Grades PK-6. The district will add a new grade level each year, and plans to build a second building at each location to accept students in Grades PK-12. Harmony Science-Leander, and Harmony Science-Georgetown, will make the 8th and 9th grade campuses, and applications begin for the 2025-2026 school year on November 1st, 2024.
In the South Texas Congressional District I represent – which includes the largest stretch of U.S. Border covered by any member of Congress – Joe Biden’s pro-amnesty policies have turned our lives upside down. Dangerous, violent gangs like "Tren de Aragua" have infiltrated American Communities nationwide, and lethal narcotics are poisoning our children. Three years ago these small Border Cities were low-profile, and now they dominate the headlines. They want to feel safe again.
As then-Governor Ronald Reagan wisely said at his 1967 gubernatorial inaugural address, “Freedom is a fragile thing – and it’s never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by way of inheritance; It must be fought for, and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people.” First observed as "Decoration Day" in 1868 to pay tribute to the Union & Confederate soldiers who died during the Civil War, it's a day to honor the 1 million-plus Americans who've laid down their lives in combat since the founding of our nation.
“Yet again the Biden White House is trying to circumvent the democratic process by issuing sweeping mandates from the desks of bureaucrats that would fundamentally reshape American law,” said Attorney General Paxton, announcing that Texas has sued the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, and other officials in the Biden Administration to stop an unlawful attempt to redefine federal law through agency "guidance."
“It's our tradition, and is always special to have an Active-Duty individual present to talk about the meaning of Memorial Day, especially someone with General Rainey’s extensive experience and present service as the Commanding General of the Army’s Futures Command,” said Gen. Mike Hagee, USMC (Ret.), President & CEO of the Admiral Nimitz Foundation, announcing that Gen. James E. Rainey, Commanding General (CG,) Army Futures Command will provide the keynote address at the Nimitz Foundation's National Museum on May 27th from 10:30 to 11:35.
Texans are invited to drive through the following four Texas State Veterans Cemeteries that will be open 24 hours a day from Friday, May 24th through Memorial Day, Monday, May 27th. The “Avenue of Flags” will be lit throughout each night, as will as the headstones of those killed or Missing In Action who are interred at the cemetery. Help honor those who gave their lives, as we express our profound gratitude to the fallen men & women who bravely served in America’s Armed Forces and made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
