Friendly interviews leave journalists scratching their heads – and Democrat leaders privately groaning.

For years, when conservatives have made the obvious point that cutting taxes on savings results in more savings, that cutting taxes on investment results in more investment, or that cutting taxes on work results in more work, liberal progressives ridiculed the idea.

"Front-line health care workers across our state are working tirelessly to keep Texans healthy and safe. The substantial increase of infusion centers will reduce hospitalizations, and the added medical personnel will help treat COVID-19 patients already in hospitals.

​​​​​​​“President Biden’s speech (to the Nation yesterday) was a disappointing and divisive attempt to turn this moment of genuine crisis into partisan bickering – he even bizarrely blamed Afghan troops who fought and died alongside our troops for decades for his failure," said Sen. Ted Cruz, calling for a thorough investigation of the intelligence analysis and political calculations that went into the catastrophe.

John Kennedy’s denunciation of the $1.2 trillion "infrastructure package" when he said, “Only 23% of the bill is real 'infrastructure.' The rest is Green New Deal and welfare.

"These bills provide over $600 million in relief to homeowners for first year homestead exemptions! Property Tax Relief's been one of my top priorities since I was elected, but the walkout by the House Democrat Caucus means this tax relief is delayed," said State Sen.
