Vladimir Putin thought his war in Ukraine would be quick. He also believed the Unites States of America and its current Democrat-Socialist "leaders" were decadent, foolish, and would not resist. ​​​​​​​He may be right. We're fighting over pronouns, how many genders there are, we're praising Marxist theories called "Critical" Race Theory and applauding those who protest our National Anthem. Its simply insane.​​​​​​​

Doctors, medical providers, and other related medical staff who report “sex change” procedures and the administration of puberty blockers to minors as “child abuse” may violate federal law—even though state law says that such procedures can, in fact, constitute “child abuse.”   

This task force should work diligently to ensure that best practices and resources for recruitment and retention are provided to districts to ensure the learning environment of Texas students is not interrupted by the absence of a qualified teacher.

​​​​​​​"My office’s adoption of these new rules will prevent cities from making reckless and downright dangerous decisions to defund the police, ensuring a safer future for Texans all across the Lone Star State," said Gov. Greg Abbott, announcing new Texas Administrative Code Rules via the Governor's Public Safety Office (PSO) to prevent municipalities from defunding their police forces.

The Texas Oil and Gas Association (TXOGA) launched a fresh new look to its website to enhance user experience and continue to serve as a trusted resource for public, press and regulatory and legislative officials seeking to learn more about the oil and natural gas industry in Texas.

"Within weeks of taking office President Biden turned our Southern Border into a porous mess where criminal aliens wandered across the Rio Grande River without anyone to interdict them. I refused to stand by and let our state be overrun by criminals and deadly drugs. We launched Operation Lone Star to do the job that Washington, D.C. would not," said Gov. Greg Abbott, noting Texas' March 4th, 2021 launch to secure the border.

​​​​​​​“NOW is the time to unleash American Oil & Gas Production,” said Texas Railroad Commission Chair Wayne Christian. "​​​​​​​Putin’s Russia should be cut off completely — we don’t need their oil, gas or anything else. For the future of our allies and the safety of our nation, end the anti-oil-&-gas rhetoric and policies so domestic producers have certainty to increase production here at home," wrote Christian his letter to President Biden.

“President Zelenskyy told us his top priority is that the Ukrainians need to take back their skies, which are being used by Putin to wage war against cities and murder civilians. The United States and our allies should move immediately to provide them – above all else – with fighter jets, as well as with Stingers and other anti-aircraft assets. It is incumbent Putin does not have resources he needs to fund his war machine."

"Our Texan Hearts go out to those Ukrainians fighting for their freedom as Texans once did – especially on this day, March 2nd, Texas Independence Day – and we must take steps to protect Texas' Taxpayer Assets from Totalitarian Regimes that go to war against and invade neighboring Democracies without reason or provocation," said State Sen. Paul Bettencourt Friday, after all 31 of his State Senate colleagues had co-signed his letter to Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick requesting an "Interim Charge" study to determine how and where State Government Assets may be at risk due to the Russian invasion.

"Receipts from restaurants continued to see double-digit gains compared to last year, and are well above pre-pandemic levels. And in the Retail Trade Sector, double-digit growth continued in home improvement and electronic shopping," said Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar earlier today, noting that Texas' State Sales Tax Revenue – a respected indicator of the economy's direction – for February totaled $3.23 billion.

One advantage of President Biden’s age should be that he at least remembers the inflation crisis of the 1970s – the factors that led to it, the efforts that failed to cure it, and the cure that finally succeeded in bringing inflation under control. There's no solution to inflation other than reining in loose money and enduring the economic pain that result. But, Joe Biden apparently can’t remember.

The latest Rasmussen Polls show both an increasingly grave level of concern on the part of the nation's citizens – and an increasingly disastrous result for Joe Biden and the Democrat Party he leads among Independent Voters. Most "Likely U.S. Voters" don't believe Mr. Biden's insistence on using "Economic Sanctions" to alter President Putin's aggression are enough, or will stop further invasion into Ukraine.

"Our Texan Hearts go out to those Ukrainians fighting for their freedom as Texans once did, especially on this day, March 2nd, Texas Independence Day – and we must take steps to protect Texas' Taxpayer Assets from Totalitarian Regimes that go to war against and invade neighboring Democracies without reason or provocation," said State Sen. Paul Bettencourt Wednesday, after a total of 29 (out of 31) State Senators signed on to his letter to Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick requesting an "Interim Charge" study to determine how and where State Government Assets may be at risk due to the Russian invasion.

“When my agency was tasked with creating Texas’ first-ever Broadband Development Office and bringing reliable high-speed internet to every corner of the state, we knew we couldn’t do it alone,” said Comptroller Glenn Hegar as he began his tour to gather citizen's input to help guide the strategic vision of Texas’ new Broadband Development Office (BDO).

Its been true for some time that eight U.S. states have no personal income tax. Those states, from west to east, are: Alaska, Washington, Nevada, Wyoming, South Dakota, Texas, Tennessee & Florida. And since workers tend to want to move to no income tax states like Texas and Florida, others like North Carolina, Mississippi, Arizona and Louisiana want some of that action.

As Ukraine seeks to repel a Russian invasion initiated last week by it's president Vladimir Putin, fewer than 1/3rd of "Likely U.S Voters" have a favorable view of how President Biden is handling of the situation. And after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi recently announced she'll seek another term in Congress, 60% of voters view her "unfavorably" – including 50% who have a "Very Unfavorable" impression.

Gov. Abbott sent a letter to the Texas Department of Information Resources, and the Texas Department of Public Safety earlier today directing both agencies to use every available resource to safeguard the state’s critical infrastructure – including State & Local Governments, School Districts and private businesses – against potential targeting from Russian cyberattacks.

Governor Greg Abbott issued proclamations announcing Saturday, May 7, 2022 as the special election date for Texas State House Districts 38 and 147

“While I have concerns about how President Biden is handling this nomination process, I look forward to evaluating Judge Jackson on her record, views, and judicial philosophy alone."

The data comes as part of a report that the Federal Reserve uses to measure inflation.
