"There's a reason the U.N. named the U.S.-Mexico Border the deadliest land border in the world. President Biden is responsible for that deadly border, and we're not going to stand idly by – these Governors are deploying Military & Law Enforcement Officers to help," said Gov. Greg Abbott. "This country needs to realize – our President breaks the law and ignores the law. Thank Gov. Abbott for all he's done to fight this fight," said one Governor.

"The deletion of documents responsive to a Congressional inquiry underscores the OIG’s conclusion in 2022 that 'the FTC has not prioritized records management, nor embedded it as a value in the agency’s culture.' Moreover, it suggests the agency is not committed to complying with the law," said Senate Commerce Committee Ranking Member Ted Cruz, House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan, and House Oversight Chair James Comer earlier this week while seeking explanation of why records were improperly destroyed .

According to the Florida Conference of Catholic Bishops' 2022-23 statistics, 200,000 students are now enrolled in Florida Scholarship Programs that are income-based – or special needs based – including around 41,500 in Catholic Schools around the state. In the Archdiocese of Miami, the number is around 12,000 students in 59 Catholic Schools. And a Rule of Thumb: children get a better education at half the cost in Catholic Schools.

Natural gas is the world's Wonder Fuel: It's cheap, abundant, made in America, reliable, AND clean burning. So why are Joe Biden, his White House and environmental groups against it? There's really no good answer – but what makes The Left's war against natural gas inexplicable is, the single biggest factor in reducing carbon emissions has been the increased reliance on natural gas for electric power generation as we move away from coal.

As statewide economic growth continued in July, Texas now has more jobs, more people employed, and more people willing and able to work than ever before. Total employment increased by 26,300 over the month to reach a 22nd consecutive high of 13,969,100 jobs – after 29 consecutive months of growth. State employment has increased by 441,700 positions since July 2022, leading the nation in number of jobs added.

After a career spanning an impressive 25 years with the department, Austin Police Chief Joseph Chacon announced earlier today he is set to retire on August 31st. As he steps down, Chacon's Chief of Staff Robin Henderson has been chosen to serve as Interim Chief until a nationwide search for a replacement is concluded. Chief Chacon's tenure was marked by both challenges and achievements, and Henderson brings a wealth of experience.

“Texas again outpaces the nation in annual jobs growth – thanks to strong business investments and the best workforce in America,” said Gov. Greg Abbott earlier today, celebrating the unrivaled strength of Texas’ jobs economy following the release of July's employment data showing that the Lone Star State is again leading the nation for jobs added over the last 12 months. Texas also reached a new record high for total jobs – for the 22nd month in a row.

The United States is witnessing a devastating epidemic unfold – and it's silently claiming the lives of 1,000s of innocent children. Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid that's 50-to-100 times more potent than morphine, and up to 50 times more powerful than heroin. It has embedded itself in our communities, and has taken a devastating and deathly toll on our young. I call out the media for not having covered this tragedy the way it should.

All Americans can agree that we need clean air & water, but Democrat's and Sen. Bernie Sanders’ exclusively anti-fossil fuels positions oversimplify a complex issue and threatens the supply of energy for Americans. We must embrace all of America's energy resources to simultaneously lower harmful emissions, strengthen U.S. security and economic prowess, lift impoverished communities, and bolster democratic values.

The city of Chicago might as well not exist to Democrats on the national stage. Yes, that party has ruled the city with an iron fist since 1931, and the dead there has a remarkable turnout rate for elections, but in Washington, DC, the city doesn’t exist. Joe Biden and the swamp gang don’t mention it because they’d have to acknowledge the piles of dead bodies the city racks up annually.

“As one of fastest growing areas in the entire state – and home to our most important port, Laredo – the Rio Grande Valley is where the economic future lies. ​​​​Thanks in part to the hardworking Texans here , our state now ranks as the 8th-largest economy in the world. When we come together, we are extraordinarily more powerful and effective than we are individually,” said Gov. Greg Abbott, applauding South Texas’ economic ingenuity at the Rio Grande Valley Economic Summit.

Sen. Ted Cruz today met with leaders from the Deep East Texas Council of Governments & Economic Development District (DETCOG,) a voluntary association of local governments in the 11 County Region encompassing all of Angelina, Houston, Nacogdoches, Newton, Polk, Sabine, San Augustine, San Jacinto, Shelby, Trinity and Tyler counties. Their objective was to provide more jobs and economic opportunity to people in rural East Texas.

Imagine if the United States treated China the same way it treats us. How would Beijing respond if U.S. biotech company warehouses were discovered in rural America with unsecured vials of deadly Viruses & Pathogens? Would China be angered if an American company had left abandoned COVID, Malaria or HIV Viruses in its facilities? One way to get along with China is to deal with it precisely the way it deals with us. Anything less will lead to even more Chinese contempt.

As 2024 approaches, and victory seems certain over the man they fear and hate the most, Democrats face what looks to be an insoluble dilemma. The Los Angeles Times on Monday became the first major cog in the left’s Propaganda Machine to come out for dumping Kamala Harris and replacing her with a more viable candidate. The people in charge know that Old Joe is only going to get more embarrassing – and that Kamala Harris is even worse.

“For a state that continues to grow massively, we're at the height of our production during the day and we generate more power than California and New York combined – but we need more dispatchable power generation," said Governor Greg Abbott earlier today, highlighting the important role of nuclear technology and energy in Texas’ thriving economy during an energy summit held at The University of Texas (UT) at Austin.

“Today's report again confirms that Joe Biden and Biden White House officials are pathologically obsessed with undermining Israel. They made a day one decision to pour hundreds of millions of American taxpayer dollars into areas controlled by Palestinian terrorists, despite knowing that such actions would benefit terrorist groups that have the blood of Americans and Israelis on their hands," said Sen. Ted Cruz after news reports revealed the State Department secretly sought exemptions from U.S. anti-terrorism laws to restart aid to Palestinian-controlled territories.

In the past two decades, destructive Crested Caracaras birds of prey – tropical black & white falcons that behave like vultures – have taken up residence throughout Texas. Despite being a predatory invasive species, the Caracara is currently a "protected species", which prohibits the taking of – including killing, capturing, selling, trading & transport – the migratory birds without prior authorization by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.

“From funding his ‘green’ energy fantasies with the passage of the largest climate bill in history, to an unrelenting barrage of bureaucratic rules from his agencies, Joe Biden's next ploy of taxpayer subsidized boondoggles will have far-reaching implications – and our nation’s middle class is worse off for it,” said Texas Railroad Commissioner Wayne Christian, voicing his opposition to the installation of offshore wind farms in the Gulf of Mexico.
