The surprising win by Democrat-Socialist Zohran Mamdani in New York City's mayoral primary will put the failures of Socialism – and Democrats Nationwide – in the spotlight said liberal media commentator and former Clinton advisor James Carville in a Washington Post op-ed Wednesday. He laid down a frightening warning for Democrats for nominating a far-left, 33-year old Muslim and American critic.

President Trump is enraged that the Fed didn't lower interest rates last week. He – and many economists – believe lowering the Federal Funds Rate would lower the government's borrowing costs, but there's an easier way to lower them (and the deficit) without risking inflation. Ending this one Obama-era regulation that penalizes banks for buying U.S. Treasuries would saving Uncle Sam up to $70 billion a year.
Gov. Greg Abbott recently signed House Bill 2 into law – and injected $8.5 billion into the Texas Public Education System. This much-needed funding is especially important for Students & Teachers, because over $4 billion is earmarked for teacher salary increases. It was notable that JoMeka Gray – a Temple kindergarten Teacher of the Year & a Texas Teacher of the Year finalist – sat next to him as Gov. Abbott signed the bill into law.
"Most businesses in Texas are actually small businesses – and they employ about half of all employees around the state. So we wanted to make sure that we passed laws to would improve the process of doing business in Texas, and reduced barriers for small businesses and ordinary Texans. We took strategic steps to achieve just that," said Gov. Abbott of the bills – including one that increases Business Personal Property Tax Exemptions.
In 1992 I patrolled parts of LA during the Rodney King Riots. Looters ran wild, businesses burned, and chaos reigned – until Republican Gov. Pete Wilson & President George H.W. Bush called up the National Guard and invoked "The Insurrection Act," sending 3,500 Federal Troops, active duty Army & Marines, to back 10,000 Federalized Guardsmen. I was a California Army National Guard Captain, order swiftly returned – and it worked.
Comptroller Glenn Hegar & Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick began to work in 2021 to have Texas lead the nation in reversing the woke left's Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) policy designed to harm Energy Companies as part of the Climate Wars. But, while Patrick & Hegar deserve enormous credit for turning the tide, the Wall Street Journal now says that Texas A.G. Ken Paxton is behind a lawsuit that stands in stark contrast to Patrick & Hegar's leadership.
“Essentially, whoever used the autopen was the president. It’s a very bad thing, very dangerous," President Trump told reporters in the Oval Office the day after directing his administration to investigate if President Biden was aware of the actions taken in his name – while a watchdog group said today it has now identified three different autopen signature machines were used by the Biden White House staff.
The "Mr. South Texas" designation is presented to a deserving individual who has made a significant and lasting contribution to the growth & development of Laredo and/or the South Texas Region – and the Mr. South Texas Selection Committee Members take great effort in creating an all-inclusive nominating pool of candidates from all walks of life who have made a significant impact on the area.
As Americans increasingly come to appreciate efforts in D.C. to reverse Joe Biden’s long list of burdensome and arbitrary regulations, Texas State Senator Tan Parker is leading a push in the Lone Star State urging Congress to pass laws like the "FIRM Act" – an effort to ensure innocent law-abiding customers are not ensnared by unfair and onerous directives from the Federal Government.
Of all the dangers facing our country today, perhaps the greatest is one that doesn’t make headlines – our collective national amnesia and how our children are given little sense of our nation's greatness. In fact, children are increasingly taught the exact opposite. I'm often struck by how many American children have nothing good to say about our country.
Gov. Greg Abbott held a meeting with the Taiwan Minister of Economic Affairs Jyh-Huei Kuo yesterday to discuss strengthening the current level of economic trade between Texas & Taiwan – and new investments in technology. The growing partnership includes rapidly developing opportunities in the sectors of semiconductor manufacturing, electric vehicles, and energy resilience.
The Democrat Party is about to be exposed by what some are predicting as the most damaging insider exposé in modern American political history. Set for release next Tuesday, May 20th, one CNN analyst describes the book's details as a "nuclear bomb" that implicates the entire Democrat Party's leadership as complicit – and its just the first of many tell-all books to come. Its provoking massive tremors across Washington, D.C.
It’s Day 115 of President Trump’s 2nd Term. No one has lost their Social Security, Medicare, or Veterans’ Benefits as Democrats predicted or are still trying to claim – or in spite of constant media and leftist lies. And while President Trump is re-setting the nation's relationship in historic fashion with virtually the entire Middle East, a Democrat Milwaukee County Judge was indicted for helping a criminal illegal alien avoid Federal Law Enforcement arrest.
“When the power of compounding meets the energy of young minds, we’re not just growing portfolios – we’re fostering the next generation of builders, dreamers, and doers,” said Michael Dell, Founder, Chairman & CEO of Dell Technologies as Sen. Ted Cruz introduced his "Invest America Act" legislation. "This will trigger transformative changes for the financial security – and the personal freedoms, of Americans for generations," said Cruz.
There's likely never been a more historic presidency than that of the Biden-Harris Administration – and by far the most consequential crisis they unleashed is the massive number of Illegal Aliens now embedded within our borders. To date Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) has made some 65,000-odd deportations, which over four years means only 1 million – or about 5% of those eligible – will be deported. In fact, there is a better solution.
Manufacturing loans are already up 74% under President Trump, and doubling the SBA's Individual Loan Limit from $5 million to $10 million will allow small businesses across the country to access capital, to invest in new equipment, hire new employees, and grow their businesses. "Together, we'll continue to drive the 'America First Agenda' forward and create an environment where Main Street is a priority," said House Small Business Committee Chairman Roger Williams of Texas.
China has placed a premium on overtaking the U.S.’s technological leadership in Artificial Intelligence, Cloud Computing, and Data Centers. But Texas is doing its part to stop China’s ambitions. We've established ourselves as a top destination for data center development, providing the backbone for these critical technologies, and thanks to our "All-of-the-Above Energy Policies," private companies are even bringing their own resources to large-scale projects. The results have been extraordinary.
From sealing the nation's Southern Border almost overnight, to rooting out theft, fraud & wasteful spending in the Federal Bureaucracy via his Dept. of Government Efficiency (DOGE,) to his latest actions on international trade, “We’re going to do what’s in our purview, what we think we can do – and if Congress thinks it’s their purview, well, that’s on Congress,” said one White House official. President Trump is barreling full steam ahead, “But we’re not going to restrain ourselves.”
As President Trump has said, winning the AI Arms Race against China (and others) is key to U.S. National Security. And his commitment to the rapid development of additional Data Center & Energy Capacity in the U.S. will ensure we don’t allow China to beat us in the coming battle over data. Texas has a critical role to play in hosting these Data Centers – including the “the largest AI Infrastructure Project in history, by far,” the first $500 billion Stargate Project recently announced in Abilene, Texas.
