According to the National Telecommunications and Information Administration’s (NTIA) recent internet use survey, about 24 million households do not use the internet at home. Of those who do not have internet at home, 58% say that they have no interest or need. This number has barely moved since 2017.
In a shrewd move, DeSantis flew 50 illegal aliens to the liberal enclave of Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts to bring the border crisis home to many of its patrons. He and other governors must continue to fly illegal aliens to wealthy enclaves until these "Sanctuary City," anti-border elites have the opportunity to finally understand the seriousness of the problem and see the light.

“The chaos at our Southern Border is bringing violence to our communities, and costing Texans hundreds of millions of dollars. President Obama’s refusal to enforce immigration law was a dereliction of duty, just as President Biden’s refusal to secure our border is,” said Texas Att. Gen. Ken Paxton, after the 5th Dist. Court of Appeals ruled Mr. Biden lacks the legal authority to continue the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Program.
“Residents of Brownsville should be outraged and demand accountability... The report clearly delineates willful incompetence, preferential vendor selection, questionable practices, and a complete lack of regard for taxpayers & city residents who were left to foot the bill. I call on the Brownsville City Council to investigate this matter and hold those responsible for this boondoggle accountable."
The midterm elections are less than a month away – and polls are everywhere! The question is: Do polls still have the same old problems? We know how seriously wrong they've been in the past, but serious people are trying to understand how what's happened before might predict mistakes this year. And, right now it appears things could be somewhat better for Republicans than the polls say.
In yet another sign that inflation is continuing to spread throughout the economy – with 60% of last month's increase due to rising food costs – the government announced earlier today that Wholesale Prices rose at a higher than expected rate in September, and exceeded August's increase.

"Main Street businesses continue to struggle with higher prices – and there's no end in sight.

Cong. Tony Gonzales (TX-23) earlier today announced $5,998,130 in funding for the University of Texas Health Science Center's "Developing Hispanic-Serving Institutions Grant" and Texas A&M-San Antonio's "Promoting Post-Baccalaureate Opportunities for Hispanic Americans Program" to expand educational opportunities for Hispanic students.

President Biden's refusal to enforce consequences for illegal activity at our border has created nothing but chaos. Our heroic Border Patrol Officers are working to overcome the challenges of inconsistent fences, understaffing, and most importantly rhetoric and policies from our President that are encouraging the most illegal border crossings in the history of this country.
Conservative candidates for the Senate, written off by the media and Democrats as a bunch of crazy Trumpy radicals, are looking like they are going to win all or most of the key races. How do we know? Well, don’t believe the polls (even the good ones,) but do consider their direction – as well as the directions of gas prices (up) and the stock market (down). Here's the Over/Under.
Left-wing prosecutors have stopped enforcing our nation's own laws for a host of crimes — from theft to resisting arrest — on the theory that punishing minority criminals is racist. Biden even had the gall to claim it was Republicans who were anti-police and anti-law enforcement. So unmistakably, Republican's challenge to every Democrat candidate should include at least one of the following four questions.
“Your failure to enforce the nation’s immigration laws, and your willful blindness to the very Humanitarian Crisis at our Southern Border, amounts to a gross dereliction of duty and a violation of your Oath of Office. This gross dereliction of duty, if not corrected swiftly, could provide grounds for impeachment,” said Senators Ted Cruz & Lindsey Graham, listing the shocking statistics that have occurred during Secretary Mayorkas's tenure.
