“Years ago, while we were working to build momentum for creating I-27, we ran into some roadblocks. I set up a meeting with Senator Ted Cruz to ask for some assistance. Immediately, he sprung into action and went above and beyond. Instead of just offering to help, he offered to take up the cause of I-27 and lead the fight to get it done. He worked closely with leaders across the Lone Star State to build a coalition of strong advocates for Texas. His effort paid off, and Senator Cruz’s I-27 Numbering Act was recently signed into law.
Tony Gonzales is a fierce champion for bolstering border security measures in Congress. He represents more than two-thirds of the Texas-Mexico border and knows the dangerous consequences that President Joe Biden's reckless open border policies have on our state -- and our nation. I know Tony will continue the fight in our nation's capital to designate Mexican drug cartels as terrorists, re-instate the Remain in Mexico policies, and deport people who illegally enter our country.
Title IX is a civil rights law granting protections to women by prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sex in any educational program that receives federal money, including K-12 schools, colleges, and universities. The new rule contorts these protections for women by forcing schools to accommodate the wishes of men claiming to identify as women (or “transgender”) to enter female-only spaces and join female-only organizations.
Sometimes, good parents raise bad kids. It is possible to do everything right and still churn out a real piece of post-digested food. It happens. It just doesn’t happen very often, which is why it’s pretty easy to look at the mutant mob and professional protester class currently staging mini-Beer Hall Putschs they hope will weave together into a one, large real opportunity for them to murder as many white people, normal people, straight people, non-obedient people and especially Jews as possible. Fascists always have a real problem with Jews.
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.
With this year’s Emergency Supplies Sales Tax Holiday Weekend running Saturday through Monday, "I encourage Texans across the state to stock up on supplies to protect themselves and their loved ones in an emergency – such as flashlights, hand-held fire extinguishers, or first aid kits," said Gov. Greg Abbott earlier today of items that can be purchased either online or in person. As spring storms and the Hurricane Season approach, here's a list of items to consider purchasing.
The PEARL Act supports Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) efforts to address mental health challenges at the agency by providing therapy dogs to CBP personnel. Since 2007, over 150 Border Patrol Agents and CBP employees have died by suicide. In January 2023, CBP launched the Support Canine Program, which aims to mitigate the spike in mental health crises among CBP personnel.

Since 2016, the Comptroller’s Transparency Stars program has recognized local governments that provide clear and meaningful financial information by posting financial documents, thorough summaries, visualizations, downloadable data and other relevant information. Existing star categories include traditional finances, contracts and procurement, economic development, public pensions and debt obligations.
Israel showed Iran last week – and sent a larger "message" to the world – that it could and would send a (retaliatory) barrage of missiles at Iran's nuclear sites with reasonable assurances they could not be stopped. By comparison, Iran's earlier and more massive attack on Israel was a huge flop. An estimated 99% failed to hit their targets. These developments mean it should be harder for Iran to shake down Joe Biden and others for hostage bribes or Iran-deal giveaways on the implied threat of Iran successfully nuking the Jewish state.
The decisive reason I could not support this bill is because it did nothing to secure the Texas-Mexico border. As I’ve said many times, we are facing an existential crisis—a full-on invasion—at our own southern border. Democrats desperately wanted to pass this Ukraine aid bill—so much so that the world watched the ridiculous spectacle of Democrats gleefully waiving Ukrainian flags on the floor of the United States House of Representatives; it’s difficult to imagine those same Democrats ever waiving an American flag with the same joy.
SDF is the state's workforce training grant program to help businesses upskill their new or incumbent workforce.

Congressman Tony Gonzales toured the site of a new and upcoming VA healthcare facility in El Paso. Congressman Gonzales helped secure $700 million for the construction of this project through his position on the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Military Construction and Veterans Affairs. The new facility will be located on Fort Bliss near the William Beaumont Army Medical Center and will improve access to care for more than 54,000 veterans in the El Paso area.
“Many states irresponsibly & unconstitutionally changed their voting policies prior to the 2020 Election - but fortunately we did things differently and fought to uphold Texas law,” said Attorney General Ken Paxton after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected a case brought by a political activist group and backed by Texas Democrats to overturn & weaken Texas' voter integrity laws for mail-in voting. The existing safeguards will remain in place.
Ben Shapiro confirmed these sentiments, writing, “Open anti-Semitism has been on the rise for legitimately decades on campus. It was rife on campus when I was there 20 years ago. It’s particularly rife from the radical Muslim community, and it’s been fostered by a Left-wing college administration across campuses for two generations that believes in the intersectional hierarchy of victimhood, in which Muslims outrank Jews.”
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.
