The 4 Reasons Kamala Harris is Losing This Race

The unsteadiness and insecurity that were on display when she became the first candidate to embarrassingly flame out of 2020's Presidential Primary are presenting a deja vu moment. Its a moment of clarity where voters, major donors, and Democrat power brokers are being reminded of Kamala Harris's failings in 2024. I've spoken with three Democrat operatives behind the scenes who all believe the race is slipping away from her, and they offer four major reasons why it's happening. Much will come into focus over the next three weeks​​​​​​​ – sharply.

Gov. Abbott Recognizes Fentanyl Victims & Families, Raises Awareness in San Antonio

Fentanyl is the No. 1 killer of Americans ages 18-45. Knowing how to recognize the signs of fentanyl poisoning and having open conversations about the drug's dangers can help save a life. Texas’ comprehensive ‘One Pill Kills’ campaign is raising awareness about fentanyl's deadly consequences, and helps educate Texans on how to prevent, recognize, and reverse fentanyl poisonings to protect a family member, friend or neighbor. "These Angel Moms – all of you – are making a difference. It takes extraordinary strength," said Gov. Abbott.

CONG. WEBER: Why Won't Biden-Harris Admin Respond to Texas' Request to Help Keep Voter Roles Clean?

Because the Harris-Biden White House is refusing to provide Texas with critical information to determine if non-citizens could be influencing the 2024 Election, last week I led a group of Texas Republican Congressmen in writing to the Director of the U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services urging her to comply with Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson's request to help verify that non-citizens are not being registered to vote. Federal law prohibits non-citizens from voting, so why won’t they respond to Texas' request to help keep our voter roles clean?

Kamala Harris Wants America to Have the World's Highest Death Tax

The American Business Defense Foundation reports that under the Harris tax plan, the number of Americans subject to the hated death tax would double or triple. This would happen because Harris has declared she will let the Trump tax cut expire next year if she becomes president. Thanks to the Trump tax cut, the amount of an estate that is currently exempt from tax is roughly $13.6 million.

Cruz, Hagerty, Biggs, Colleagues Raise Alarm Over DOJ’s Inaction on Non-Citizens Registered to Vote

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) joined Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.), Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.-5), and several of their Republican House and Senate colleagues in sending a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland raising their concerns about the Department of Justice’s failure to address non-citizens registered to vote in American elections. This letter comes after Attorney General Garland ignored a prior request for information as state officials revealed more examples of non-citizens being registered to vote.

Texas Issues New, Updated Guidance for Voting with Limited-Term Driver’s License, ID Cards

“Election workers have an obligation under State Criminal Law not to facilitate illegal voting by non-citizens. When an individual attempts to vote by presenting a Temporary or Limited-Term Driver’s License (which federal regulations say must be issued only to non-citizens who are lawfully present in this country,) election workers must require that the individual produce a Naturalization Card or Naturalization Certificate demonstrating U.S. Citizenship to receive a regular ballot,” says the new advisory to Local Election Officials from Texas' Secretary of State, Jane Nelson.

Texas Arrests Dangerous Tren De Aragua Gang Member

Since the launch of Operation Lone Star, the multi-agency effort has led to over 521,100 illegal immigrant apprehensions and more than 47,400 criminal arrests, with more than 41,000 felony charges. In the fight against the fentanyl crisis, Texas law enforcement has seized over 544 million lethal doses of fentanyl—enough to kill every man, woman, and child in the United States and Mexico combined during this border mission.

CONG. BIGGS: Her Nickname Should be !Que Mala – or, How Bad!

She claims that her values haven’t changed. Concerning border security, that's a very dangerous proposition. If you include a previous stop in an El Paso airport hanger years ago, Kamala Harris's recent photo-op trip to the Southern Border of Arizona was only her second trip to the border – over which Joe Biden named her "Border Czar." Wandering around a border that had been cleaned up, and taking some pictures near the border wall that Trump built, shows how out of touch she is. Her nickname should be "!Que Mala" — meaning, how bad!

Cruz, Warren, Blackburn, Colleagues Introduce Bipartisan Resolution Honoring Women Volunteers in World War II

After World War I, laws limited women to the role of nurses during war. The Navy Women’s Reserve Act, signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in July 1942, reversed this law and established WAVES, allowing women to volunteer in support of war efforts. Women were then recruited to perform military assignments, including training thousands of aspiring male naval aviators, gunners, and navigators.

On Tuesday evening, I had the honor of participating in the dedication of a new plaque at the Limestone County Courthouse. This plaque features the text of Col. William B. Travis’s renowned “Victory or Death” letter penned during the Siege of the Alamo in 1836 and was generously provided by the Alamo Letter Society.

Try a Little Honesty About Israel

Both the Harris-Walz and now lame-duck President Joe Biden keep insisting that they are Israel's best friend. Biden recently bragged at a contentious press conference, "No administration has helped Israel more than I have. None, none, none. And I think (Netanyahu) should remember that." Yet the thin-skinned and triggered Biden's prickliness poorly hid -- or perhaps revealed -- the truth: This current administration knows that it is responsible for the current explosion of the Middle East and dilemmas of Israel.

Sen. Cruz Demands Transparency on Tim Walz’s Ties to the Wuhan Institute of Virology

In case you missed it, last week, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) sent a letter to the Hormel Institute regarding its partnership with the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) and financial resources secured for the Hormel Institute by Governor Tim Walz. The WIV has been credibly implicated as the point of origin of COVID-19 and conducts its activities under the auspices of the Chinese Communist Party.

Weber: Terror Threat Assessment

382 individuals on the terrorist watchlist have been apprehended between ports of entry at the Southwest border. There were only 11 of these encounters from FY17-FY20. In addition, roughly two million gotaways have evaded apprehension at the Southwest border, and law enforcement has no way of knowing their intentions. On June 9, 2024, eight Tajikistan nationals with alleged ties to ISIS were arrested in New York, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles.

Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick: Statement on Texas Energy Fund Advisory Committee Hearing

“Deloitte, the contractor hired to administer the Texas Energy Fund, allowed for a falsified application to move forward in the process. When questioned at today's hearing, Deloitte had no believable explanation for the many troubling details they failed to uncover during their vetting process. These details could have been revealed to them by a quick Google search. Their senior partner did not even know the value of their contract with the state of Texas for this project."
