It's happened in Israel, and it's now happened in Moscow. It’s going to happen here in America – perhaps exponentially worse. The jihadis, the Muslim fanatics, are not so finicky as we are about our distinctions between the Jewish state, Russia, and us, the Great Satan. The key is they're suicidal – they want to fight to the death. They kill until they themselves are killed. It’s coming. Be ready. Pack a bag with medical supplies and learn to stop the bleeding – and pack a gun.
According to the CBP’s own data, the 2023 Biden-Trudeau agreement on asylum has failed to lower the number of encounters at the U.S.-Canada border. It’s also done nothing to prevent or combat the Biden administration’s ridiculous parole policies, allowing unchecked illegals to pour into and across our country. Under President Trump, we had the most secure borders seen in decades. President Trump’s ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy worked to mitigate unlawful entry, secure the southern border, and hold Mexico accountable.
“With Joe Biden’s decision to pause Liquified Natural Gas Exports (LNG,) the outright assault on our nation's Energy & Fossil Fuels Industry is reaching a fever pitch. As the steward of 13 million acres of energy-rich state land, I promised Texans to manage it wisely – and Biden’s move to halt new LNG exports will steal from Texas schoolchildren and lead us further away from true energy independence. I cannot allow that to happen under my watch,” said Texas Land Comm. Dawn Buckingham.
Following news that the Texas State Board of Education (SBOE) and Chairman Aaron Kinsey would terminate an $8.5 billion contract with BlackRock, Texas Railroad Commissioner Wayne Christian applauded the SBOE’s decision, which protects Texas' Permanent School Fund and classrooms across the state and said the following: “Texas state leadership continues to land blows to BlackRock and woke financial corporations pushing a pro-ESG/anti-fossil fuel agenda!”
Congressman Tony Gonzales (TX-23) questioned military leaders on quality-of-life issues facing our servicemembers and their families during today’s House Committee on Appropriations Subcommittee on Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies oversight hearing. Additionally, Congressman Gonzales questioned Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force, David Flosi, on current living conditions at Joint Base-San Antonio (JBSA).
Some 8 to 10 million illegal aliens from all over the world, as expected, have flooded across the border. A demagogic candidate Biden, in 2019 invited those massing at the southern border to "surge" into the United States without specifying that they first needed legal sanction: "We immediately surge to the border all those seeking asylum." In contrast, we know legal immigration is America's great strength, but Immigration must be legal and measured.
“Today, the Supreme Court allowed S.B. 4 to be enforced while Texas continues to fight for the law in court. This was the right decision. My legislation, the Senate companion to H.R. 2, would help to alleviate this crisis at the federal level, so that Texas doesn’t need to secure the border alone. H.R. 2 would punish visa overstays, reform immigration parole, asylum, and legal immigration workforce issues, and prevent uncontrolled alien flow into the United States.”
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton secured a major victory as the Supreme Court of the United States denied emergency motions filed by the Biden Administration and various other organizations seeking to block enforcement of Texas’s recent immigration law, SB 4. Today’s order vacates the administrative stay previously issued by the Supreme Court, thus allowing Texas to immediately enforce the law while the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit decides whether to grant a stay pending appeal.
Governor Greg Abbott announced the inaugural members of the Texas Semiconductor Innovation Consortium Executive Committee (TSIC EC) at an announcement event at the University of Texas Dallas (UT Dallas). TSIC EC will govern the work of the Consortium and work with industry stakeholders to ensure Texas’ place as a national leader in advanced semiconductor research, design, and manufacturing.
There was good news this week when the Texas Forest Service announced dangerous wildfires in the Panhandle were finally 100% contained thanks to the tireless efforts of state and local emergency crews. During the precarious situation the Railroad Commission and operators worked to ensure community safety, and to also ensure there were no major disruptions in oil and gas production.
Mayor Eric Adams' agreement, announced Friday, to limit the time migrants can stay in shelters at taxpayers' expense, is smoke and mirrors. It's designed to fool you into thinking he's solving a problem when he's actually caving to the migrant industrial complex. Adams claims the agreement, with the Legal Aid Society and the Coalition for the Homeless, will allow the city to evict adult migrants from city-run shelters after 30 days, saving taxpayers money and limiting the need for more shelters. Not true.
“They’re goin’ to put y’all back in chains!” Joe Biden threatened a group of Black voters back in 2012 – when he was running for re-election as vice president. Luckily, Donald Trump is a new kind of Republican who's not afraid to point these things out. Yet once again, Democrats and the sock-puppet political press has spilled their bloody entrails over the often-colorful language Mr. Trump uses to vividly describe the dramatic doom America will be in if Mr. Biden has four more years in the White House.
Texas Senator Ted Cruz, along with Senators Katie Britt, Rick Scott & Tommy Tuberville, are calling on President Biden to impose targeted sanctions against the country of Nicaragua following the Ortega-Murillo regime’s repeated and escalating violations of Religious Freedom. The regime recently arrested 13 pastors and issued arrest warrants for three Americans from the evangelical group Mountain Gateway, who were targeted despite having prior approval and support from the Nicaraguan government.

"From signing our new Statement of Mutual Cooperation, to meeting with Prime Minister Sunak, to holding productive meetings with business leaders, our trip has promoted sustainable economic growth, cutting-edge innovation, and job creation in both Texas and the United Kingdom. There's never been a better time to do business with Texas, and continuing to work with the United Kingdom as we build a brighter economic future for generations to come,” said Governor Greg Abbott.
However much you hate the media, it’s not enough these days – and we're only getting started. No matter how much you bring yourself to hate them, it'll never be as much as they hate you. The despicable creatures divide Americans by skin color, by sexual orientation, income – literally any way that's possible. And they whine about how it’s Republicans who "divide" us. Democrats don’t let reality stand in their way – when you have zero chance of being called out for your hypocrisy, why not be a hypocrite?
"Heinous crimes committed by the Tren de Aragua – like the rapes of multiple children and the murders of retired police officer José Luis Sánchez Valera and nursing student Laken Riley – must stop," said Cong. Tony Gonzales, as he joined with U.S. Senator Marco Rubio & Rep. María Elvira Salazar in demanding that President Biden formally designate the vicious "Tren de Aragua" Venezuelan prison gang as a Transnational Criminal Organization.
