As Consumer Prices increased by the the largest annual rate since June 1982, experts now say they fear a wage-price spiral could raise costs even more in the future – heaping further pressure on President Joe Biden and Congressional Democrats to address what has become the biggest threat to the U.S. economy in decades. Home Food Prices have risen 6.5% over the last 12 months.

President Joe Biden's support has eroded more among Hispanic Voters than any other racial group. While Biden won 63% of Hispanic voters in 2020, a recent Wall Street Journal Poll shows that Hispanic voters would split their vote in a 2024 rematch if the vote were taken today – 44% for Biden and 43% for Trump. And believe it or not, it gets worse from there.

People are dying, and President Biden not only has no plan to stop it, he doesn’t even seem to care. Two Hispanic Texas women – a 59 year old mother and her 21 year old daughter who were sitting in their car at a Stop Sign last Saturday morning, going about their daily lives – were killed at 11:30am by an Illegal Immigrant Smuggler, T-Boned while Joe Biden’s Immigration & Border Policies are failing. Their families, former Law Enforcement Officials.

Biden's decline has occurred mainly in the states he won in 2020. A 60% majority of Americans say they feel “worn out” by how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted their daily lives, and 45% feel “angry” about it. And perhaps most important politically, support for Face Mask & Workplace Vaccine Mandates has declined since the fall when the Delta Variant started to dominate.

Heading into the 2022 Mid-Term Election Year, voters are lacking confidence in President Biden's leadership abilities, are concerned about Inflation, the economy and the Democrat Party's "agenda," and are pessimistically running short of patience on all of the above according to new Wall Street Journal Poll.

"We're focused on pushing to give them a $56 million investment in pay and wages, and really this comes down to – during a pandemic – that our associates should be taken care of health care wise," said Laura Gump, president of Kroger's Houston division in a recent interview with Houston's ABC-13. "We are going to continue fighting for them, because at the end of the day, they're the ones doing the tough work in our stores," said Gump.

In the spirit of the holidays, I wanted to bring attention to certain efforts in Texas and the Coastal Bend that benefit many families during the holiday season. Toys-for-Tots is a nationwide campaign with strong Texas roots and participation in the Corpus Christi & Port Aransas areas. The initiative began in 1947 when Marine Major Bill Hendricks collected and donated 5,000 toys to children in their city.

As 52% of Registered Voters say they “Strongly Disapprove” of Mr. Biden’s performance in office, just 18.2% “approve.” And if that isn't enough to worry Democrats, those identifying as "Independents" – who often provide the winning margin in elections – say they'd support a GOP candidate over a Democrat 50%-to-32% in the Generic Congressional Ballot question, their largest lead since 1981.

​​​​​​​"Samsung's new semiconductor manufacturing facility in Taylor will bring countless opportunities for hardworking Texans and their families, and will play a major role in our state's continued exceptionalism in the industry.

Every time there are bad new numbers on inflation, remember back to President Biden’s angry, defensive assertion on July 19th: “There’s nobody suggesting there’s unchecked inflation on the way.” Well, the Labor Dept. announced this morning that inflation is up 6.2% compared to a year ago, confirming why polls show the vast majority of Americans are concerned it. Inflation is a tax that affects everyone.

After spending the first 24 hours after the Nov. 2nd Election pretending that Virginia Republicans didn’t elect a black woman as Lt. Governor – the second-highest office in Virginia – mainstream media hacks went full-metal stupid trying to diminish the significance of it. ​​​​​​​Since they can’t even handle winning the presidency gracefully, it was obvious things would get rough and ugly when they lost again.

“Out of what fund(s) will the payments to aliens be paid? For how many aliens who are outside the United States is the Department considering payments? For how many aliens inside the United States is the Department considering payments pursuant to the litigation described above?” asked Republican lawmakers in a letter to President Joe Biden, demanding answers on the now-reported potential massive payments to be made to illegal immigrants.

The off-year Virginia Elections have a nearly perfect record as the first "voter backlash" tool to guage voter's sentiments against the party in power. If Tuesday's election results – from Virginia to Seattle, in Minneapolis, and from San Antonio to Buffalo, N.Y are any indication, there may be some bigger and more massive sweeping the country for Republicans to tap into, and which Democrats will surely fear.

Greg Abbott, announcing his latest efforts to tighten Border Security amid media reports of yet another caravan of migrants moving north through Mexico.
