"Now more than ever, it's imperative our Law Enforcement Officers & Texas National Guard Soldiers adopt innovative solutions to counteract President Biden’s reckless decision to end Title 42 expulsions," said Gov. Greg Abbott, having received a briefing from Operation Lone Star leaders and touring the increased assets Texas has deployed along the border ahead of President Biden’s ending Title 42 expulsions this week on December 21.

“The Biden White House is once again attempting to ignore the Rule of Law by abusing executive authority to implement its own version of amnesty,” said Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, after the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals reaffirmed that the Office of the President lacks the authority to institute what many believe is an illegal "Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Program." Paxton is leading a coalition of states pushing back against Biden’s attempts to save DACA.

As a former Chief of Staff at the U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services (HHS,) Rep. Brian Harrison has filed House Bill 1023 in Austin after the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) – unbeknownst to HHS leadership which oversees the FDA – recently went against HHS's specified instruction and created a new regulatory barrier requiring laboratories to seek FDA approval prior to testing for COVID-19. This illegal regulatory overreach effectively banned COVID-19 testing in the crucial early days of the pandemic.

Over the last year, the importance of "Parental Rights" has captured the attention of the country, has galvanized parents, inspired lawmakers, and decided the outcome of important campaigns during November's elections. To further the effort in Texas, State Representative James Frank has filed HJR 58 – an amendment to the Texas Constitution – to help protect the right of Texas parents to raise their children, and he says it will be the Family Freedom Project’s top priority in the 2023 Legislative Session.

Warnock is a boilerplate Democrat of the left, with an agenda of government spending as the answer to every problem, who is also the address to turn to keep the door open to abortion and the LGBTQ agenda.

“There've been recent reports that Non-Governmental Organizations may have assisted in illegal border crossings near El Paso. We further understand NGOs may be engaged in unlawfully orchestrating other crossings – through activities on both sides of the border – including in sectors other than El Paso.

Greg Abbott earlier today.

Texas is currently experiencing the worst drought since 2011, and it's costing the Texas economy plenty – some $7.62 billion in agricultural losses, and nearly $17 billion in total. “With the population ballooning, and businesses booming, it comes as no surprise that Texas will need a lot of water to stay afloat,” said Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar. ​​​​​​​“And planning for Texas’ future water needs will require the dedication and resourcefulness of organizations and passionate individuals” in the upcoming 2023 Legislative Session.

“Chairman Christian has led this agency through serious rulemakings related to Winter Storm Uri, and I'm proud of the work this agency has completed to keep gas flowing in this state,” said Texas Railroad Commissioner Christi Craddick, after she was unanimously elected Chairman during today’s RRC open meeting.

Congressman Kevin Brady (TX-08) joined Ways & Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal and a bi-partisan group of Members of Congress from Texas to discuss solutions to replace the unfair "Windfall Elimination Provision" (WEP) with a fair, proportional formula that treats our Teachers, Firefighters & Police Officers just like the rest of America’s workers.

Whether it's some "non-binary" bondage mutant who oversees America's nuclear waste between bouts of luggage larceny, or an Army colonel who – and yeah, this happened – masks up in uniform as a leather sex puppy on social media ,and who along with junior officers also dressed as carnal canines that I guess would be an erotic litter... It is high time we no longer tolerate nuts as nuts.

Elon Musk’s “Twitter Files” – currently being released by Independent Journalists in a series of tweets – are shedding some detailed & sickening light on just how pervasively corrupt America’s intelligence agencies are... especially when it comes to acting on behalf of the Democrat Party & Joe Biden's Presidential Campaign. Their "collusion" has influenced the last two Presidential Elections, and instead of reporting on it the "Mainstream Media" have served as willing actors to amplify masses of "misinformation."
