“Texans are tired of watching their Border Communities disregarded by the Biden Administration’s ‘look-the-other-way' approach to the ongoing crisis. The issue here is simple – no man is above the law, and that includes President Biden. Today, on behalf of the people of Texas, I am suing President Biden on the grounds that he is illegally preventing the border wall from being constructed," said Texas Land Comm. George P. Bush.
“Democrats just voted to allow taxpayer-funding of abortions, and to force healthcare workers to participate,” said House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy after Democrats defeated a long-agreed to prohibition, which for 44 years has stopped the use of U.S. taxpayer's dollars to go toward the funding of abortions. "Today the Democrat Party has shown just how radical they've become."
Governor Greg Abbott today announced that Optimus Steel, LLC (“Optimus Steel”) will establish a new rebar line and coil handling facility in Orange County, Texas.
"Because of President Biden's outright refusal to secure the border, Texas is stepping up to continue the work of the Trump Administration by building a wall and restoring Law & Order along the border," said Gov. Greg Abbott as he welcomed former President Donald Trump for a Border Security Briefing with State Officials and Law Enforcement Officers in Weslaco, Texas, prior to touring a portion of the unfinished border wall in Pharr, Texas.
"If the Federal Government's going to ignore its duty to secure our border, Texas will do their job for them,” said State Sen. Dawn Buckingham, travelling to join former President Donald Trump, Gov. Greg Abbott and other Statewide Law Enforcement Officials during their Wednesday visit to the Rio Grande Valley Border Sector. Following the border tour, Buckingham will participate in FOX News' nationally televised Town Hall with Sean Hannity later in the evening.
An estimated 7-or-8% of Americans will experience PTSD at some point in their lives, and women are about twice as likely as men (10% to about 4%) to suffer from it. PTSD occurs after someone experiences or witnesses a life-threatening event, and can last long enough to impair the person’s daily life.
"Texas will always be the leader in defending the 2nd Amendment, which is why we built a barrier around gun rights this session," said Gov. Greg Abbott, signing seven pieces of legislation into law to protect the 2nd Amendment Rights of Texans across the state. "Thank you to the Texas Legislature for getting these bills to my desk," Abbott said. Here's why.
"Texas is doing more than any state has ever done, but it's clear more is needed. In the Biden Administration's absence, Texas is stepping up to get the job done by building the border wall," said Gov. Abbott, announcing several key components of Texas' plan to build a border wall after the State Legislature allocated $1.1 billion dollars — a record for the State of Texas.
Gov. Greg Abbott has signed two bills into law that legislators passed to protect Texans against the far-left Democrat's national push to enact a "Culture of Wokeism" – effectively banning homeless "camping" on public property in Texas and abolishing the teaching of "Critical Race Theory" in Texas classrooms.
Saying the Biden Administration had deliberately undermined the nation's border security and turned the entire country into “one giant sanctuary city,” former President Donald Trump said Tuesday afternoon that he'd “accepted the invitation of Texas Governor Greg Abbott to join him on an official visit to our Nation’s decimated Southern Border.”
“The Texas Dept. of Public Safety will work with Local Officials to arrest anyone who enters our state illegally… We want to create an environment where people will choose NOT TO come across the border because its not what they were expecting. Its not the Red Carpet the Federal Administration rolls out for them... and the ability to arrest will be enhanced by building border barriers,” said Gov. Greg Abbott, hosting a Border Security Summit in Del Rio where he announced a new Texas Border Security Plan to crack down on illegal border crossings.
With record numbers of illegal immigrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico Border — and with four months of counting still to go in the government's fiscal year— Vice President Kamala Harris's "Border Czar" efforts to address the "root causes" of the Biden Border Crisis are coming under growing criticism – including from members of her own Democrat Party.
Facebook's record on conspiracy theories is wretched. It happily spread stories of President Trump's "collusion" with Russia for years – a truly idiotic conspiracy for which no evidence ever emerged – and is stifling any mention that COVID-19 could have emerged from a lab leak in China. That's 0-for-2 on two huge stories, with both errors pointing in the same political direction.
"This year's spring season has brought an unprecedented amount of rain and flash flooding to many of our communities," said Governor Greg Abbott earlier today, activating numerous resources to assist South, East, and Southeast Texas communities that are expected to receive heavy rain and flooding through the beginning of next week.
With President Biden's latest actions to reverse Donald Trump's "Energy Independence" efforts – suspending drilling in parts of the U.S. and eliminating 100,000+ American jobs by halting the Keystone Pipeline – economists predict Americans can expect to see higher prices at the pump this summer and a possible return to Barack Obama’s “new normal.”
As the Wall Street Journal Editorial Board pointedly observed: “When did emergency procedures amid a 100-year pandemic suddenly become the new baseline? The 67-page bill would roll back Covid-19 innovations like Harris County’s drive-through voting and 24-hour voting. It’s hardly crazy to think polling-place shenanigans might be more likely to happen at 3 a.m.”
The Texas House crossed another major deadline at midnight Wednesday morning, shutting down the ability for any more Senate Bills to be considered on the House Floor. This 2021 Session's already brought several policy victories for Texas Republicans, and more are expected to be delivered to Gov. Abbott's desk in these last few days of session. Here's how to track the progress.
"In just the first four months of this year alone, the Texas Department of Public Safety has seized more fentanyl than is needed to kill every man, woman & child in the State of New York. President Biden's open border policies have led to a surge in this deadly drug coming into our communities, and we must do more to combat this crisis,” said Gov. Abbott during a Thursday a press conference in Ft. Worth.
Flashback: Nearly half of Florida's Latino Voters cast a ballot for President Trump in November, and Democrats were roundly criticized for once again failing to build an outreach effort sufficient enough to even beat even Donald Trump in the Sunshine State. Of even bigger concern to them should be Trump's remarkable gains among Hispanic Voters in far South Texas' Rio Grande Valley.
In Texas, the State Legislature meets for 140 days every odd-numbered year to hear, review & potentially pass various pieces of legislation. This year's 87th Session began January 12th, and ends at midnight next Monday, May 31st. That means we're entering the final days of the 2021 Session and there are a number of specific deadlines that every legislator and their staffs are feverishly watching.
