One of the favorite pastimes of the political class is finger-pointing – when a candidate bombs the fingers come out, mostly because the alternative would be to take some responsibility themselves. In the case of last week's 2022 Election, there's plenty of blame to go around – as there was a whole lot of feces hitting a very powerful fan.
In the months and weeks prior to Tuesday's election, Joe Biden’s "approval rating" was still seen by most Democrats as too low to be helpful for them – and many avoided appearing with him. Short of Pennsylvania – where he was born – Mr. Biden did not visit states with highly competitive Senate races. Nonetheless, Biden says he does not foresee changing course, or any of his controversial priorities.
Americans for Tax Reform, Citizens Against Government Waste, and the Center for Freedom & Prosperity are all opposed to Congress creating new government mandates for Credit Card processing procedures. So why is Texas Cong. Lance Gooden teaming up with liberal Vermont Democrat Peter Welch to introduce the bill that will also reduce Security & Fraud Protections on your purchases?
Any GOP autopsy after Tuesday’s moribund Election 2022 performance must begin with a thorough analysis of the fundamental sickness – the predominant (and now evidenced) cultural rot in America. The purpose of politics, after all, is not simply to win, but to win on the principles essential to saving the country. If conservatives are truly serious about protecting the nation, we must first wrest American Culture from the Left.
"This crucial grant funding will further bolster organizations and agencies that work around the clock to ensure justice for victims of crime, protect against threats, prevent human trafficking, and support statewide emergency infrastructure," said Gov. Greg Abbott, announcing the new funding for a variety of public safety and law enforcement support programs in Texas.
After receiving an estimated $350 million from the the wife of Mark Zuckerberg, the Center for Tech & Civil Life claimed to be helping local or county officials nationwide to “safely administer” elections. Texas Att. Gen. Ken Paxton, however, wants to determine whether the non-profit solicited donations under the pretext of protecting voters from COVID-19, but instead used the funds for partisan electioneering oversight normally done by local residents.
TWC and its Workforce Solutions partners encourage employers to discover how Registered Apprenticeship programs provide earn-and-learn opportunities for businesses, education partners, labor organizations, and industry associations to meet the ongoing need for a skilled workforce.
The red "wave" that was expected, turned out to be a "splash" instead. We still might get the Senate – maybe after a run-off in Georgia – but this cycle's Senate map was always going to be a tough road. (21 Republican-held seats were up for election, compared to just 14 for Democrats.) But we are, obviously, not going to obliterate the Dems. Gee, sound familiar?
It’s difficult to say whether Joe Biden's & Democrat's “democracy is at risk” pitch during the final days of the election speaks more of desperation – or of stupidity. It pretends that electing Republicans will destroy the very "Democracy" that voters are engaging in. And either way, the use of such a preposterous phrase proves: It's Democrats who are at risk in this election!
President Biden's inflation crisis is costing hardworking Texans almost $9,000 a year. As a result of President Biden's and the Democrats’ Far Left Agenda our country's future continues to be in jeopardy, and it is time for a new direction. It is past time to fix the disasters caused by the Democrats' rule and get American back on track.
If President Joe Biden had simply done nothing and spent his afternoons playing Scrabble with first lady Jill Biden in the Oval Office, our National Debt Burden would be much lower. But because of what's now called Biden-flation... Cha-ching, Cha-ching. He's already added just shy of an extra $900 billion to the federal credit card in 2020 and 2021.
Over the past two years, Democrats in Congress failed to conduct meaningful oversight or deliver accountability for the Biden Administration’s actions that are threatening the safety and security of Americans. That includes all records and data about the 15,000-person Haitian caravan that arrived in Del Rio, Texas in September 2021.
The Governor delivered remarks at the welcome event recognizing the importance of the World Cup Trophy in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, as well as the 2026 World Cup that will be hosted in Texas.
We are also concerned with recent reports that your administration is considering allowing Chevron to restart oil operations with Petroleos de Venezuela SA (PDVSA), the Maduro regime’s oil company, which remains under U.S. sanctions.
Attorney General Ken Paxton today announced that the Consumer Protection Division of his office filed a lawsuit seeking a permanent injunction preventing Douglas W. Monahan and his company, iBackPack of Texas, LLC, from participating in deceptive crowdfunding schemes in violation of the state’s Deceptive Trade Practices Act.
It’s times like these when you yearn for the perfect words to explain not only how important it is to vote Tuesday, but also to properly describe just how awful the people you’re running against are. These “rock stars of the Democrat Party” aren’t even going to go down as one-hit-wonders. While it may be counterintuitive, we should be grateful for them.
Top Democrat lawmakers and strategists are already openly 2nd-guessing their party’s 2022 campaign tactics, reflecting a growing sense that the party has failed to present an effective "message" to stave off major losses in the House – and decisive defeats in Senate. But with escalating gas & grocery prices, out of control crime and an unsecured border pushing Americans to the brink, is it really just a "Messaging Problem"?
Here in Texas, fuel manufacturers are operating at near-maximum capacity after suffering significant setbacks during the COVID-19 pandemic. Their high utilization and outputs are helping the U.S. produce more gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel than any other nation. And it’s a good thing its happening here; No other country comes close to manufacturing fuel as clean or as efficiently as we do.
