​​​​​​"I've heard so many parents and teachers across Texas raise concerns about what is being taught in classrooms today. Our schools are for education, not indoctrination. The solution to this problem is empowering parents to choose the school that's right for their child, and that's what we'll pass this Legislative Session here in Austin," said Texas Gov. Greg Abbott during Tuesday's "Parent Empowerment Day" held at the Capitol in Austin.

“The Texas Senate’s dedication to securing our Southern Border is unwavering, and our commitment's exhibited by the $4 billion in our budget to continue Operation Lone Star. Sen.

Punishment starts with up to 1 year in jail for 1st-time offenders," said Patrick.

Senate Bill 5 & and the Constitutional Amendments for SB 3, SB 4, and SB 5, launched out of the Senate Committee on Finance, chaired by State Senator Joan Huffman on Monday, March 20, 2023 with a unanimous bi-partisan 17-0 vote. “BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE!” said State Senator Paul Bettencourt, who's been leading on the historic effort.

The bills under consideration set the state’s cut at a measly 10%, ensuring that when that money is transferred from residents to the state, gambling companies keep a much greater share. You can almost hear the bookies salivating."

​​​​​​​“Today I issued a legal opinion informing the Texas Legislature that there are no constitutional barriers to enacting school choice in Texas. It’s time to empower Texas parents and provide additional educational opportunities so every Texas child can reach their dreams,”  said Texas Att. Gen. Ken Paxton, responding to a Legislative Request that may offer Texas Parents & Students a better educational experience.

“Attorney General Paxton’s opinion that school choice is Legal & Constitutional in Texas is not surprising, but it's still great news. All Texas children deserve an education that best fits their needs, and parents should not be forced to send their children to schools they don't believe are best for their child. Republicans, Independents and Democrats overwhelmingly support School Choice,” said Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick.

"As our allies and partners across the globe are asking for reliable American energy to escape their dependence on Russian and deal with the energy crisis... instead of increasing U.S. energy production the administration is focused on increasing energy taxes and has once again doubled down on weaponizing the tax code against U.S. energy producers," said Sen. Ted Cruz in condemning the Biden White House.

Here is what's really telling. The Communist Party of America put out a press release celebrating the demise of "Right to Work" in Michigan. They proudly note, correctly, that Michigan's now the 1st State in more than half a century to turn back the clock and force union chains on workers. Most states have moved in the opposite direction. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer – a stooge of the unions – will sign the bill into law.

The idea is that certain woke-liberal people, or their family members, will someday end up in a position to help the family and/or their friends. It’s a small price to pay, but... the people who literally write the rules are the same ones who benefit the most from them. So, do you really expect them to call it out for what it is? Of course not. ​​​​​Never lose sight of what it truly is: perfectly legal corruption.
