“District Attorneys who choose not to prosecute criminals appropriately have created unthinkable damage across Texas," said Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, announcing his proposal of a new rule to enhance the reporting requirements for Texas' District & County Attorneys who preside over counties with a population of more 250,000.
The soft drinks are gone, "but 3-gallon jugs of Arizona Green Tea are still on the shelves." The good stuff – Dawn Dish Soap, L’Oreal Shampoo, Clairol Root Touch-Up hair kits, DayQuil, NyQuil, diapers, Cetaphil & Neutrogena – they're all either behind Plexiglass, available only at the counter – or under Lock & Key. "Other shelves, stretching entire aisles, are totally empty."
"What month did Beau die? Oh God, May 30th," says Joe Biden, before a White House Counsel staffer interjects, "2015." Mr. Biden then asks, "Was it 2015 he died?" And an unidentified speaker says, "It was May of 2015," to which Biden repeats, "It was 2015. Or I'm not sure the month, sir, but I think that was the year." Biden then says, "And what's happened in the meantime – Trump gets elected in November of 2017?" 2017?
Joe Biden threatened the Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court over the issue of abortion, and lied about his economic record when Americans can clearly see for themselves just how bad things are when they go to the grocery store or the gas station. Biden even began the speech by talking not about America, but about Ukraine – which was invaded under his watch.
“Instead of throwing money at a processing center – which is an expensive Band-Aid on a gunshot wound that'll have no significant impact on this ongoing border invasion – Joe Biden should change his lawless approach to the border and secure it for the sake of the nation,” said Texas General Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham of Biden's latest proposal.
U.S. Congressmen Henry Cuellar, Ph.D. (TX-28) and Tom Suozzi (NY-3) launched the Democrats for Border Security Task Force, a group of 26 House Democrats dedicated to countering the surge of illicit narcotics threatening communities across the country and addressing the influx of irregular migration at the southern border. Cuellar and Suozzi will serve as Co-Chairs of the newly formed Task Force.
Under President Donald Trump’s leadership, Congress dedicated roughly $1.4 billion to the construction of walls and barriers along the southern border in order to reduce the number of illegal aliens entering the country. Immediately upon taking office, President Joseph Biden issued an executive order demanding construction stop and directing the Department of Homeland Security to devise a way to redirect the funds.
It is increasingly obvious, and we've known it for a long time; America has become divided. Its split between Right & Left, between those who hold on to traditional American values based upon Christianity, the Declaration of Independence & our Constitution, and those who have fallen for the Marxist, Socialist, atheistic, materialistic lie that's produced a globalist ungodliness embodied in the Democrat Party.
Last week – on the same day Joe Biden delivered his final "State of the Union" address – House Republicans passed the "Laken Riley Act" to honor the memory of Laken Hope Riley who was tragically murdered by an Illegal Immigrant and who would still be alive if the Biden White House had done its job. No family should have to go through what her family has, but unfortunately it's not an isolated incident. It's happening all across the country, over and over again, and it must be stopped.
“The passage of this bipartisan bill is a clear signal to the communities and businesses across Texas that Congress supports their work to become part of the Interstate System. Communities across this route need better infrastructure to meet the increasing demands of moving goods and people, and I'm proud to have secured this victory for the Lone Star State," said Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, as he and others celebrated passage of the "I-27 Numbering Act" to designate the corridor between Laredo, Texas, and Raton, New Mexico as the future Interstate 27.
“The Big Thicket National Preserve is a treasure to our state – and to our nation – and I’m certain all Southeast Texans agrees it should be protected,” said Cong. Brian Babin. “I’ve heard concerns from constituents, County & School Officials, as well as local industry and others about this potential expansion, and I share their apprehensions. Many Americans right now distrust the federal government – and under this Biden White House I don’t blame them."
President Joe Biden's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published their new and expansive "Methane Rule" in the Federal Register last Friday, and Texas is challenging the effort as detrimental to an industry that's not only vital to the state's economy, but comes after the oil & gas industry has also made great strides in emissions reduction. Texas Railroad Commissioners voted to refer the Methane Rule to the Office of the Attorney General to file a lawsuit against it, and the Attorney General filed the lawsuit Friday.
. . .Every American is struggling to buy eggs, gasoline, and electricity. His assault on our own energy supplies, workforce and industry largely ignited Putin’s ability to invade Ukraine, and simultaneously Americans’ struggles with higher prices. But nothing comes anywhere close to mattering to the American citizen now nearly as much as the crime, drugs and terrorists pouring over our southern border.
Joe Biden's address last night was the most Bizarre & Disappointing ever seen delivered by a president in the Halls of Congress. He didn’t even try to deliver a unifying "Address to the Nation" – instead, he shouted a Political Convention-like Campaign Speech that insulted Congressional Republicans, the U.S. Supreme Court Justices sitting right in front of him, Israel, the National Rifle Association, Candy Bar Snack companies, people who expect their fellow Americans to repay their Student Loans, and those who're concerned about inappropriate books being in Elementary-School Libraries.
“President Biden’s State of the Union speech was nothing short of a Dog & Pony Show to try and convince Americans that he's keeping America safe and secure. But Texas families like Stefanie Turner's – who was in attendance – are grieving as a result of his inaction to secure our border and keep dangerous drugs & criminals off our streets. Until the president steps up as Commander-in-Chief, and does his job to secure the border, Texas will hold the line and use every tool and strategy necessary to keep those dangerous drugs & criminals off our streets – and to keep our country safe.”
“Bidenomics is destroying Americans’ pocketbooks as prices continue to soar, increasing debt and hardship on families already struggling to make ends meet. Meanwhile, the president’s radical, nonsensical climate change policies are crippling U.S. oil and gas and boosting our dependency on foreign dictators and their dirty energy. All of this while our southern border is being overrun by an invasion of suspected terrorists, violent criminals, Chinese nationals, and more. . . "
“The situation in these communities that have been impacted by this wildfire disaster is heartbreaking, and we still have a long way to go before we understand the scope of the devastation wrought by the fires," said Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar earlier today, announcing in partnership with Gov. Greg Abbott that the Comptroller’s Office has secured a temporary waiver of state restrictions on the use of dyed diesel fuel for vehicles on Texas roadways, and suspended requirements to pay the State Motor Fuels Tax on dyed diesel.
“As we make our way into 2024, the Texas Labor Force is continuing to 'upskill' and become the workforce of tomorrow – and Texas continues to lead the nation in both jobs growth and economic stability,” said Texas Workforce Commission Chairman Bryan Daniel, as the latest Labor & Jobs Market figures for January showed another record-breaking period of growth. Texas' employed Civilian Labor Force now totals 14,053,400, and has grown in 43 of the last 45 months.
