For too long, the American people have suffered countless policy failures and unacceptable lack of transparency under one party Democrat rule. Over the last 100 days, House Republicans have reopened the People’s House, prioritized U.S. Energy Independence, defunded Joe Biden’s IRS army, countered the Chinese Party's influence, and finally started to hold the Biden White House accountable.

It should be pretty clear that raising your tax rates to 70% or 80% or 90% would be an economic killer. Jobs, businesses and people would leave – or the rich would stop investing. We know that every time tax rates have been raised that high, as during the Great Depression and in the 1970s, the economy crashed. Yet on Tax Day this year, about a dozen left-wing millionaires joined some of the most liberal Democrats in Congress for a press conference.

After weeks of considerable uncertainty and calendar slippage over exactly how, when and from where President Biden would launch his re-election campaign, the latest intel from Washington,, D.C. says... This week. With a video. On Tuesday. We think. That comes on top of a Rasmussen Poll showing that 31% of voters would consider voting for a 3rd-Party Candidate, with Democrats more open to the idea than Republicans or independents.

Customers of CPS Energy in San Antonio – the nation’s largest municipally-owned Electric & Natural Gas Utility – may have to pay millions of dollars more as CPS amasses legal fees that will likely be passed on to ratepayers according to a legal analysis that recently appeared in The Texas Lawyer. “There's no reason for them to keep their customers in the dark and continue adding costs," says the article's author.

“I will never stop fighting for religious liberty in Texas," said Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick following the passage of Senate Bill 1396 by Sen. Mayes Middleton and Senate Bill 1515 by Sen. Phil King. “I believe that you cannot change the culture of the country until you change the culture of mankind." Both bills passed the Texas Senate along 17-12 party line vote.

Sponsoring Senators: "Coast Guard’s protection of the maritime borders of the United States led to interdicting over 330,000 pounds of cocaine, over 60,000 pounds of marijuana, and over 15,000 pounds of other narcotics; conducting over 6,300 boardings of U.S fishing vessels & interdicting approximately 100 foreign fishing incursions; and interdicting 12,500 illegal immigrants, an increase of 150% from 2021.”

"We must put parents front and center as it concerns the future of education in Texas," said Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, advocating for expanded school choice options for all Texas students and defending a parents’ right to be in charge of their child’s education. “When it comes to educating your child, there's a six-word sentence that is paramount: Mom and dad are in charge,” said Abbott.

"The Students Congressional Advisory Council was established to mentor and inspire the next generation of American leaders," said Cong. Brian Babin, announcing the creation of his Students Congressional Advisory Council. “My goal is to inspire our youth by highlighting the many industries within the 36th District of Texas that provide jobs and are instrumental to our local & state economies."

Disney under former and since-reinstated CEO Bob Iger has opted to attempt a not-so-clever end-around that would thwart the will of Floridians, as represented by the Florida Legislature and entrench Disney's peculiar legal arrangement in Central Florida for another 30 years. Try as Disney might, the forthcoming result will be a familiar one: Florida and DeSantis are going to win again, and Disney is going to lose again.

“Texans have been reminded far too often that evil exists, and that we live in a broken world. SB 11 is a top priority of mine – and of all 31 Senators – because it represents a blueprint for our schools to use to harden their facilities moving forward," said Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick after the unanimous passage of Senate Bill 11 – the "Keeping Our Schools Safe & Secure Act" by Senator Robert Nichols.

Most national media outlets refuse to report the fact that 94% of Mass Public Shootings occur in places where civilians are banned from having guns. Twenty states already allow teachers to carry concealed handguns. In Utah & New Hampshire, any teacher with a concealed handgun permit can carry. In other states, its up to School Boards or Superintendents to decide – and there've been no "mass shootings" under that policy.

After her parents learned their daughter had spoken with a teacher about depression and possible same-sex attraction, they emailed teachers requesting that no one have private discussions with her about the matter while they sought professional help. Ignoring that directive, a school counselor met privately with the student, and even went a step further by instructing school staff to conceal the girl's new name and pronouns from her parents.

Todd Staples, President of the Texas Oil & Gas Association (TXOGA) today issued the following statement in support of CSSB 2012, related to the electricty market and performance penalties, which will be heard today in the House State Affairs Committee:

The official faces of the Democrat Party – Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, James Clyburn, Steny Hoyer, Diane Feinstein - are all now transitioning to what is essentially a Socialist-European Green Party. Yes Biden & Company may still be familiar faces, but their final role is to acculturate the American Voters to the new Democrat Party – the party has been changed beyond recognition.

“Although a long shot, at this point Kennedy starts in double digits – and (that) can’t be ignored,” said Suffolk University's David Paleologos, which conducted a new USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll showing that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has the support of 14% of Joe Biden's 2020 voters – indicating that Democrats are open to other Democrats waging a spirited primary for the 2024 Presidential Nomination.

“Voters should have confidence in their elections, and when they see Harris County Elections Administrators botch election after election, that confidence is shaken. The Nation’s 3rd largest County cannot have 3rd World elections anymore!" said State Sen. Paul Bettencourt while passing his Senate Bill 1750 to restore voter trust, accountability and transparency in Harris County (and Houston) Elections.

The 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution gives the federal government the power to tax people’s income. It doesn’t give the government the power to tax what might be income in the future. But Joe Biden ignores the Constitution – often. Now, he even wants tax capital gains for wealthy people who don't sell their assets and get a gain. He would call it income... even though it’s not.

“I'm more determined than ever to bring the IRS to heel. Americans have had enough of the Democrat's double-whammy of manipulative power politics and burdensome smothering of opportunity. We should stop weaponization of the tax code, abolish the IRS, and start over. We should reform the income tax code, make it simple and fair – simple enough to fit on a postcard," said Sen. Cruz on tax filing day.
