Wokesters had long suppressed that reality, demonizing any who rejected its orthodox lies and spoke a larger truth: A dystopic China is not our global partner in greening the planet. Criticizing Stalinist China is not "racist." China is not building a progressive society that is a model for others.

President Joe Biden's diplomats are negotiating a treaty with the World Health Organization to promote so-called global health equity. The premise is that in a pandemic or other worldwide disease emergency, Americans should not get better or faster health care than inhabitants of third-world countries. If Biden rams this through, Americans will suffer and die needlessly.
As February's "Black History Month" comes to a close, Americans say they believe "race relations" in the country are getting worse. According to a new Rasmussen Survey, 35% of American Adults now give U.S. race relations a "poor rating" – which is unchanged from a year ago – and just 24% believe race relations are "good" or "excellent." A scant 9% of Americans rate them as "excellent."
How can Texas be more successful in building affordable workforce housing – efficiently & safely – like some other areas across the country are doing? Our cities need to revisit their restrictive minimum lot size laws to make way for property rights approaches that help solve Texas’ housing shortage crisis. If we don’t make housing attainable for our growing workforce, Texas will lose its competitive edge.
"The docking of Iranian warships in Brazil is a dangerous development – and a direct threat to the safety & security of Americans," said Texas Sen.

"The words 'innovation' and 'federal government' rarely appear in the same sentence. Instead of handcuffing states with top-down, bureaucratic red tape and unrealistic requirements that increase costs, the Biden White House should be empowering states like Texas with the flexibility to achieve our shared mission of reducing the orphaned well population,” said RRC Commissioner Jim Wright.
This remarkable program was created with the intent to streamline efforts and engage high school students early in the college application process – so I want to shine a spotlight on how it serves as a shining example of what makes North Texas a great place to live and raise a family. The partnership between T3 mentors and students allows for more preparation time and guidance to plan for the future.
Where and when will it end? Putin clearly believes the U.S. will grow tired of the expense and draw back its support – and now President Biden has promised we will support Ukraine for "as long as it takes." The president should explain the goal, and in the meantime ask European nations to step up their aid to Kyiv. It's time to ask some hard questions.
In March 2022, Governor Greg Abbott directed Texas Education Agency (TEA) Commissioner Mike Morath to immediately create a Task Force to help school districts address ongoing staffing retention and recruitment challenges.

Once again, Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo is resorting to threats to shift blame for her failed policies and ongoing efforts to defund Law Enforcement. My office (recently) received a call from the Harris County Budget Director. The call was disingenuous... as my office received a letter again resorting to baseless and childish threats of litigation. Judge Hidalgo's finally encountering resistance she can’t silence.
