"I’m happy to work with Sen. Cruz on a bill to ensure that consumers know their household appliances are capable of invading their privacy,” said Democrat Sen. Maria Cantwell, Chair of the Senate Commerce & Science Committee, as she and the Texas Senator introduced a bill to make sure consumers know the growing number of "smart" appliances or devices in their homes are capable of transmitting audio and video data back to the manufacturers without their knowledge.
In a House Homeland Security Committee hearing earlier this week, I grilled Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas about our nation's porous southern border and the safety of our homeland. As I pressed him, Secretary Mayorkas had no explanation for the number of illegal migrants – including Known & Suspected Terrorists (KSTs) crossing our border – and said once again, that the border is "secure." The crisis is worse than ever.
"For over 50 years, I've dedicated my life to building and growing a business. Our family business employs 100s of people in Texas, so I don't just read about the challenges facing Main Street, I live them – firsthand. I've been the voice for small businesses in Washington, and I'm ready to continue this fight as Chairman to ensure our great small businesses have the support and policies they need to succeed," said Cong. Williams. (Watch full Fox Interview below.)
Washington, D.C. lawyers know that their last and only Wile E. Coyote chance of catching the Roadrunner – and now presidential candidate – is to get at least something on Donald Trump into the hands of a D.C. jury. So Joe Biden's Attorney General, Merrick Garland, just announced appointment of "Special Counsel" Jack Smith to further investigate Donald Trump... and we also now know the script of the 2024 Election from the last two elections.
“Voting is a distinct right and privilege that American Citizens enjoy in the United States. Voters decide not only who will lead our country, our cities and communities, but also how our tax dollars should be spent. Even the Washington Post agrees allowing non-citizens to vote is a terrible idea," said Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, introducing an effort to prohibit such voting after the Washington, D.C. City Council passed a measure to allow illegal aliens to vote in local elections.
Prior to Joe Biden taking office, America had some of the lowest illegal-immigration totals seen in decades. But during his short time in office, over 2 million each year are trying to enter the country illegally. Biden’s failure to execute America’s immigration laws "are the sole cause of Texas having to invoke our Constitutional Authority to defend ourselves” against mass invasion by Mexican drug cartels and illegal immigrants, says Gov. Greg Abbott.
Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar asked the federal U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to provide flexibility for the Texas energy industry when considering whether to list the tricolored bat as an endangered species.
You can’t hear or read a story about her without hearing how “historic” the first female Speaker of the House was. *YAWN* One way in which they never characterize her is how historic it is to LOSE control of the House twice as Speaker, which is a rare feat in modern times. But, whatever. She’s historic…and so was the Titanic.
In the last two decades, retail prices for various insulin products have skyrocketed – in some cases increasing by 200% to 1000% – for a drug that is over 100 years old. Attorney General Paxton wants to know why, and will be looking at the key players in the insulin supply chain (including drug manufacturers, wholesalers and pharmacy benefit managers,) demanding information about the dramatic price increases.
Representative Jacey Jetton – along with dozens of other State Legislators – has filed his first round of legislation for the 88th Legislative Session that begins in January. Jetton’s legislation focuses on empowering Texas families by keeping communities safe, ensuring all Texas children have access to a high-quality education, and cutting property taxes.
A Federal Judge recently issued an order barring federal authorities from using Title 42 – a COVID-19 pandemic-era policy allowing the U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security to rapidly expel illegal immigrants for health concerns – cancelling the policy without putting up any guardrails to deter illegal immigration in place. The decision only highlights the Biden White House’s "indifference to how severely our border communities are suffering from the border crisis."
Well surprise surprise. Joe Biden's $400 billion 2022 Election Bribe – also known as his "student loan forgiveness" idea – has been stopped dead in its tracks on two fronts. Fortunately, as evidenced by multiple court decisions slamming the door on his attempted abuse of power, we still have the Rule of Law in the United States. This country is not ruled by a president's pen. Instead, we are ruled by a Constitution – thank goodness.
In addition to Washington, D.C., New York City and Chicago, add the "Sanctuary City" of Philadelphia as the newest drop-off location for the Texas' busing deportation strategy as part of the Gov. Greg Abbott's unprecedented response to President Biden's open border policies that have overwhelmed the entire state and dozens of Texas Border Communities since Biden reversed the nation's efforts to stop the onslaught of illegal migrants flooding across the border.
"What happened in November 8th's election in Harris County is absolutely abominable, and can NEVER happen again! That's why I will continue to champion voter integrity bills like Senate Bill 220. Citizens should have absolute confidence in their elections," said State Sen. Paul Bettencourt as he and State Rep. Valoree Swanson filed companion bills to give the Texas Secretary of State authority to deploy Texas Rangers to stop election cheating.
“Joe Biden and his administration view Israel and Prime Minister-elect Benjamin Netanyahu as political enemies, and they're responding the same way they respond to all their political enemies: by unleashing the FBI. This underscores how corrupt and blatantly politicized the Justice Department has become," said Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, a Senate Foreign Relations Committee member, after reports the Biden White House seeks to open an FBI investigation into Israel.
"The other 253 counties in Texas seem to be able to conduct elections with few problems, but Harris County continues to be the outlier. Whether gross incompetence or willful misconduct, voters deserve a detailed examination of the events surrounding last week's election," said Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick earlier today. "Gov. Greg Abbott is absolutely right to be calling for an investigation into Harris County's election-related conduct."
There’s no need for an autopsy – there's already no shortage of people offering their hot takes on why Republicans did so poorly in the mid-terms. But, if Republicans get good at ballot harvesting and pressuring people to vote early, or by mail, or absentee, etc., you might see Democrats call for ending those things because of it. As long as garbage voting rules are in place in various "battleground" states across the country, Republicans need to get good at them.
This is the story of China’s 100-year plan for world domination. To do that, they must defeat the United States of America. The Mainstream Media is certainly aware of the China threat, but does little to report on it. And the Chinese Communist Party isn't even trying much to hide their intent. But is the United States prepared to fight a war for control of Planet Earth if that’s where we’re headed?
