BARONE: It's Time for Truth & Reconciliation on the Russia Collusion Hoax

The New York Times and other major publications and networks have been unwilling to admit that they published "mis-information" and fostered false narratives with baseless charges that Russian bots had somehow swung the 2016 election to Donald Trump. In his review of "The Twitter Files," reporter Matt Taibbi (whose roots are on the political Left,) admitted the charges were baseless, as have left-leaning Twitter executives – in private.

Cong. Roger Williams: The U.S. Is In an Urgent Debt Limit Crisis

Sen. Bettencourt Files Bill to Reverse 5,300% Jump in Catalytic Converter Thefts in Texas

Bipartisan Bill by Rep. Guillen & Sen. Blanco Would Modernize SNAP Vehicle Asset Test

“Texans everywhere are feeling the impact of inflation, and because SNAP eligibility is linked to vehicle value, hungry Texans are losing benefits at a time they need them most.

César Blanco filed bills in the Senate & House to better reflect today’s car market values.

HANSON: With 5-6 Million Illegal Southern Border Entries Since Biden Took Office, Mexico's Not Really An American Friend

Left-wing Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador – often referred to as AMLO – recently praised a visiting Joe Biden by saying: "Just imagine: There are 40 million Mexicans in the U.S. – 40 million who were born in Mexico or who are the children of people born in Mexico!" One sure sign of historic national decline is the collective inability of a government and its people to defend their borders – and national integrity.

Adam Schiff's  Twitter files – and disclosures of the F.B.I.'s involvement in Twitter’s censorship program – we now have another rare insight into how government officials attempted to enlist Social Media for election-influencing.

HUFFMAN: Here Are Results of State Senators Drawing Lots for Either 2-or-4 Year Terms

In the Texas Senate Chamber, Senators took turns drawing lots: in this case, 31 sequentially-numbered sheets of paper drawn out of a bowl. Drawing an odd number won a Senator a 4-year term, and drawing an even number a 2-year term – and the prospect of standing for re-election in 2024. ​​​​It's a fairly high-stakes proposition that members, nevertheless, greet with genial good humor. The following Senators drew 2-year terms.

ALEXANDER: The Left's Becoming Increasingly Similar to... Yep, the Taliban

The left’s increasingly outlandish tendencies are starting to resemble those of the Taliban. The comparison is rarely made, however, because the similarities are subtle – and are done slowly, like heating up a frog slowly in boiling water so it doesn’t realize what’s happening. There are no executions, no hands are chopped off. Instead the left slowly removes the rights of conservatives, while the left is free to do what it wishes in the name of “doing good.”
