The idea that the United States should import “Palestinian refugees” is being floated by a particularly dense member of “The Squad” – fire alarm enthusiast and emergency exit-challenged New York Democrat Jamaal Bowman. This is insane. Absolutely not. There's no way to vet any potential refugees, and it should be the Arab world’s responsibility to help out – not ours.
As the world continues to try and process the horrors and “pure, unadulterated evil” being perpetrated on the people of Israel, its worth considering how the Hamas terrorist's conflict will impact Joe Biden's presidency – as well as the nation's view of the Democrat Party's policies on foreign affairs. Let's start with the late September media polls that showed Donald Trump defeating Biden by a 52-to-42% margin.
“It's past time for universities to stand up and squarely address the antisemitism they've been breeding and unleashing. It’s disgusting, it's dangerous, and I’m particularly ashamed that student groups from my alma mater blamed Israel for the genocidal war Hamas's terrorists are brutally waging," said Sen. Cruz, as he and a group of Congressional alumni demanded condemnation of the statements made by some of the school's student organizations.
“Israel has no greater ally than the United States, and in the wake of Hamas’ deadly terrorist attacks we must reaffirm our support for Israel. My House colleagues and I are asking President Biden to continue to support Israel – and thwart Hamas terror,” said Democrat Cong. Henry Cuellar from South Texas' 28th Congressional District, urging President Biden to put more pressure on countries that support Hamas.
The Railroad Commission’s award-winning well plugging program received yet another accolade – receiving the esteemed Environmental Partnership Award from the Interstate Oil & Gas Compact Commission (IOGCC). The award was for completing a complex project that ensured boater safety at the Big Thicket National Preserve earlier this year.
"Because of its annual exposure on TV across the entire world, Formula 1 has been a magnet for international visitors to Austin. This is great for bars, restaurants and entertainment locations in the area. Texas is home to more Fortune 500 companies than any other state... and F1 is an economic boon to Texas," said Gov. Greg Abbott, setting the stage for this weekend's Circuit of the America's Race.
Ever since the Holocaust, the world has vowed "Never Again" – yet today's United Nations is not up to keeping that promise. The U.N.'s Secretary General did condemn Hamas' terror attack, but is also aggressively criticizing Israel's impending invasion of Gaza to rout out Hamas. But wait! After becoming president, Joe Biden told the U.N. that the U.S. is "back at the table," and ready to pursue "relentless diplomacy." Will he?
Joe Biden described the horrors – “Babies being killed. Entire families slain. Women raped, assaulted, paraded as trophies. Infants in their mothers’ arms, grandparents in wheelchairs." Now comes the hard part. Destroying Hamas will require doing what's necessary – not what is reasonable. This is a war, and you win war by overwhelming your enemy with force – not by meeting them with "proportionate force."
“As I’ve traveled across the state, I've talked to so many parents – and one thing I repeatedly hear in every location I’ve been, is that parents know what's best for their child. The time for school choice in the great state of Texas is now," said Gov. Greg Abbott during a rally at the Capitol in Austin, encouraging Texans to contact their legislators to voice their support for expanding education freedom.
“The Texas Economic Development Corporation serves a vital role in promoting Texas’ world-renowned business climate, and I look forward to Aaron Demerson’s bringing his leadership and expertise to guide this crucial mission,” said Gov. Greg Abbott, following the announcement of Demerson as the new President & CEO. Texas continues to lead the nation in economic opportunity and innovation.
The world watched in horror last week as Iran-backed Hamas terrorists carried out their heinous attacks against Israel. Our hearts are heavy seeing the abhorrent crimes committed against innocent people and at witnessing evil in its truest form. This week, I joined House Homeland Security Committee Republicans in demanding that President Biden put action behind his words by taking a stronger stance toward Iran.
Texas’ production of oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids reached new record highs for the month of September – after achieving record highs just one month earlier in August according to the Texas Oil & Gas Association’s (TXOGA) monthly energy economic analysis. “This further solidifies the Lone Star State’s position as the world’s energy leader," said TXOGA president Todd Staples.
Perhaps you've heard the news that ACT scores have fallen now for the 6th straight year, indicating our nation's High Schoolers are less equipped for a job or college than at any time in three decades. But why isn't anyone in our $800 billion education bureaucracy sounding the alarm or declaring this a national emergency? It puts our national security, our technological superiority, and our economic prosperity in grave danger.
"Although we can't bring Danica Kaprosy or the 1,000s of others who've fallen victim to this drug back, we can work to ensure this does not happen to more Texas families," said Gov. Greg Abbott yesterday, honoring the hard work of Texas families, loved ones and community members who are on the front lines of raising awareness of the growing fentanyl crisis plaguing Texas – and the nation.
In a clear attempt to shut down oil & gas operations in an area of over 28,270 square miles in the Gulf of Mexico – an area larger than West Virginia – based upon the single sighting of a whale in 2017, Senators Ted Cruz & Joe Manchin are leading a group of senators in urging the Biden White House not to shut down needed oil & gas operations in the gulf based upon an unpublished, still in peer-review study.
"Texas has long had a deep spiritual, political and economic connection to Israel and the Israeli people. They are our friend and ally – and we will provide them with the financial liquidity needed to respond to the atrocities we've all witnessed," said Comptroller Glenn Hegar earlier today, announcing the purchase of $20 million in Israel bonds to provide liquidity in defending itself against Hamas.
"Texans can 'give the gift of Texas history' and support conservation with the GLO's 2023 Limited Edition Christmas Ornament – or any of the 45,000+ maps, sketches and drawings from our treasured collection. Help preserve our state's history for generations to come," said Commissioner Dawn Buckingham as she announced the ornament and a striking 1859 F.H. Arlitt map of Llano County.
Half the 3rd World is now waltzing across our Southern Border, and how do you think it's going to end? Think it ends well? Does that seem like a smart idea? Of course not, which explains why Joe Biden and the Democrats are doing it. Our leftist elite actually supports our enemies. Meanwhile, the media and Democrats are doing everything they can to neuter our ability to respond.
