After the jury began deliberating Wednesday morning following Judge Juan Merchan's delivering instructions on how to deliberate the relevant legal definitions and considerations of the trial, former President Donald Trump sat sullenly – looking down at the table before him – as the verdict was read Thursday afternoon bringing an end to a weeks-long trial that dominated headlines and led to a historic conviction that will be wielded against the presumptive GOP nominee throughout the rest of his 2024 Campaign.

The bipartisan FAA Reauthorization Bill, which Sen. Cruz authored along with Commerce Committee Chairwoman Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) and was signed into law this month, contains numerous provisions that will improve safety and efficiency at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.

The latest devastating poll results for National Democrats and Joe Biden were delivered by Rasmussen Reports on Tuesday. More Democrats than Republicans now say they want President Joe Biden kicked off the ticket – with 54% of Democrat "Likely Voters" saying they would "approve" of Mr. Biden being replaced. Just 37% of Democrats said they would "disapprove" of replacing him. It's an unparalleled and shocking dismissal of the Democrat Party chief – and the lack of a viable 2nd choice may also be playing a key role in depressing Democrats.

When it comes to measuring the country's national rate of inflation, the latest government gimmick will infuriate you – particularly when it comes to measuring the cost of your morning cup of coffee. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) uses a "basket of goods" to calculate the inflation rate – which is supposed to represent what regular Americans buy. The problem is, they keep taking things out of the basket. In fact, the April 2024 CPI inflation report last week was the first to NOT include coffee price inflation.

Ahead of next Tuesday's Run-Off Elections in Texas, many Texans are being told that various schools or ISD's are running large budget deficits – which means local Superintendents are being looked at for their district’s fiscal mismanagement practices. But looking behind the curtain, Private Vendor “Consultants” or “Lobbyists” in too many ISDs are pocketing millions of your school tax dollars – while Students & Teachers are being told “there’s not enough money.” Here's just a few examples.

Roughly 1.0 million to 2.7 million Non-Citizens will illegally vote in the 2024 Presidential & Congressional Elections this year – unless stronger integrity measures are implemented. That's the conclusion of a newly released report from the Just Facts Research Group, which says that since between 10%-27% of Non-Citizen Adults in the U.S. are illegally registered to vote, the following facts prove there are currently wide enough openings for the results of November's Election to be altered.

With "the Economy & Inflation" at the top of everyone's list of concerns this year, a recent study found that 79% of Americans now believe there's a "Retirement Crisis – up 12% from 2020. While nearly every American has paid into Social Security – with the understanding we'll eventually reap those benefits – many Americans are growing increasingly concerned about their retirement savings. The reality may be daunting, but the private sector offers solutions to the government’s uncertainty.

CNN’s Anderson Cooper has admitted that he'd "absolutely" have doubts about "Star Witness" Michael Cohen’s testimony if he were a member of the jury. And CNN Legal Analyst Elie Honig – a former State & Federal Prosecutor himself declared: “I don’t think I’ve ever seen a star cooperating witness get his knees chopped out quite as clearly and dramatically.” So if liberal, anti-Trump legal experts say they don't yet understand the still mysterious case, will the jury realize they too are being played.

Harmony Public Charter Schools of Central Texas announced that four seniors from Harmony School of Excellence-Austin were recipients of a $500 scholarship from Dove Spring Proud. Students were recognized at a special ceremony held at the Texas State Capitol on May 10, 2024 – and to be considered for the scholarship, students must live or go to school in the 78744 ZIP code and be college-bound with an acceptance in hand.

It was a Dumpster Fire that New York Judge Juan Merchan watched burn for a full day in his courtroom yesterday – and then said the jury may have to disregard much of what they saw or heard. To this day, neither prosecutors trying the case, nor the Manhattan District Attorney who brought it, have said or defined exactly what crime former President Trump is being tried for. And, "Adult Film Star" Stormy Daniels – who has previously said the alleged tryst never happened – will be back on the stand Thursday.

President Biden went to Capitol Hill today and spoke at the U.S. Holocaust Museum’s Memorial Days of Remembrance Event. He addressed the explosion of anti-Semitism that's occurring under his watch, but the problem is that Mr. Biden is empowering anti-Semites every time he condemns anti-Semitism and Islamophobia in the same breath. Anti-Semitism is hatred. Islamophobia is not hatred, but a fear of radical Islam based upon what radical Islamists regularly do.

As Americans we know right from wrong. We know our nation’s history – and where we did or didn’t do well. We know our place on Earth, and why people from around the globe seek to come to America while virtually no one wants to leave. But as "The Left" continues to force its outlandish & radical ideas on the rest of us, will the pushback, disgust & outrage be equal to if not greater this November?​​ ​​​​​Many on the Woke Democrat Left are even concerned about the direction Democrats are heading.

“My heart is heavy, and I'm sad to announce the passing of my longtime friend Kevin Burnette," said Cong. Pete Sessions, following the unexpected death of his Texas Congressional District 17 District Director, Kevin Burnette, who passed away Sunday night. "A veteran of public service & Congressional Politics for over five decades, Kevin worked a fulfilling career – and left an enduring impact on his state and his peers. It was an honor to know him, and a privilege to work with him," said Sessions.

To mitigate some of the damage that's been caused among Black Voters by inflation the past few years – with 94% saying inflation & prices are "important," including 77% who say it's "very important" – Vice President Kamala Harris on April 29th began a multi-state "Economic Opportunity Tour" in Atlanta, Georgia. The tour is directed at shoring up black voters in swing states that'll be essential to Joe Biden’s bid to be reelected. But will Kamala be able to sell the Biden economy and get voters to ignore inflation?

In the latest Gallup Poll conducted April 1st-22nd, things have gone from bad to worse for the nation's 81-year-old Democrat president. According to the latest polling figures released today by Gallup, Joe Biden now has to the lowest "Approval Rating" for any president at this point in their 1st Term – and the record low comes as the Biden White House struggles to adequately address even one of the major issues Americans say is their top concern.

In the first half of fiscal 2024 – from October 2023 to March 2024 – Border Patrol Agents on the U.S.-Mexico Border caught 24,214 Chinese illegal immigrants who had come into the country by walking through unfenced areas. An already frightening, and growing surge of illegal Chinese immigrants have replaced individuals from Hispanic countries as the largest group crossing into the United States – and its triggering another National Security concern in the Nation's Capitol.

“No SEAL should ever have to choose between the needs of their children and the needs of their country – and no matter where we are in the world, family is always at the forefront of our minds," said Master Chief Navy SEAL (Ret.) Jon Echols, marking April's "Month of the Military Child" designation while the SEALKIDS Organization joined communities across the nation to support the most vulnerable of the Military Community – its children.

After reports surfaced last week that State Representative Gary VanDeaver received thousands of dollars in donations from pro-Taxpayer Funded Lobbying Supporters in Austin – while voting against legislation to ban lobbying by taxpayer-funded government entities such as Cities or Counties – Mr. VanDeaver (HD-1) has now been hit with two new ethics complaints while in the middle of a hotly-contested Primary Run-Off Election in Northeast Texas.

"It's been humbling to receive the support I did from voters in the March primary,” said candidate Trey Wharton, adding, "House District 12 represents the birthplace of Texas, it consists of hardworking men & women who want their conservative values protected, and now we must make sure we get all our voters out plus those who supported John Harvey Slocum – who came in third but has since endorsed my candidacy,” said Wharton, announcing a new list of endorsements supporting his effort.

The Kids Online Safety Act, or "KOSA" as its called – began as a bipartisan bill meant to help protect the nation's youth from predators and inappropriate content on the internet. To accomplish this goal, the original bill gave enforcement powers to each of the Nation's 50 States via each State's Attorneys General. This quickly, however, caused an uproar within the LGBTQ+ community.
