Texas’ labor market achieved a new record high as the state’s seasonally adjusted job count reached 14,094,900, an increase of 26,800 positions over the month of November. Lone Star State employment set new record high levels in each of the last 26 months and added 407,100 positions since November 2022, ranking No. 1 in the nation in over the year increase of seasonally adjusted nonfarm jobs.

We may as well rename the Colorado Supreme Court as the Colorado Kangaroo Court. Without Trump being convicted of "insurrection" for the Jan. 6th riot, four Democrat-appointed judges have decided he must be removed from the state's Primary Ballot. Network news touted the result as "historic," "stunning," "explosive" – and proclaimed their "solemn duty to apply the law, without fear or favor." It looks like elitist liberal journalists are growing increasingly uncomfortable with Biden's struggle – in their own polls.

Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham announced that the Texas General Land Office (GLO) is partnering with the City of Port Isabel, the City of South Padre Island, Texas Parks & Wildlife Department, and the Port Isabel Navigation District to provide residents there with a free event to dispose of inoperable vessels. The "Vessel Turn-In Program" (VTIP) will take place January 18th-20th, 2024, from 9 am to 5 pm.

This bill also applies to foreign missions in the U.S. conducted by China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. This legislation requires a monthly report of the notification logs from the State Department to the President, Senate Homeland Security Committee, and Senate Foreign Relations Committee. . .

“Last week, I sent a letter with bipartisan support alongside members of the For Country Caucus urging the Biden administration to secure their release as soon as possible. I am grateful Eyvin, Jerrel, Joseph, and the other American hostages who were detained have made it home safely.”

The Colorado Supreme Court has construed the 14th Amendment to bar Donald J. Trump from running for President. Does that Court have jurisdiction to construe and execute Section 3? It does not. Is President Trump ineligible to appear on the ballot because of Section 3? He is not. Under Section 5 of the 14th Amendment, the Colorado Supreme Court lacks jurisdiction.

In a majority opinion sloppy in specifics and wrongheaded in the main, the Colorado Supreme Court has taken a Reconstruction-Era Prohibition on Confederate Rebels holding office and used it to deny Colorado Voters a choice of their preferred presidential candidate. As they themselves write: “We travel in uncharted territory.” One would think such an admission would preface an appeal to caution, but apparently we can no longer take for granted that the courts will always serve as a neutral arbiter.

“Four years ago, the United States had the fewest illegal border crossings in decades. It was policies put in place by the Trump Administration that led to such a low number. Today, I sign three laws to better protect Texas — and America — from President Biden’s neglect," said Gov. Greg Abbott, signing into law Border Security Legislation passed by the Texas Legislature. The laws bolster Texas’ unprecedented border security efforts against Human Smuggling, the flow of Illegal Crossings, and funds the ongoing construction of a Border Wall.

Liberal Democrat Logic is on display in almost every issue you can name. For instance, on the Impeachment "Inquiry" of Joe Biden, Democrats’ & The Media's defense seems to be: "There's no credible evidence." What are they talking about? There’s Joe’s emails & text messages, his expensive cars & vacation homes, there's whistleblower's testimony, bank records, and Joe’s bragging of getting a Ukrainian Official fired by leveraging American aid. I probably left some things out, but I've made a list by subject – and it makes no sense!

Unfortunately, the White House has refused to cooperate in good faith, forcing House Republicans to formalize an official impeachment inquiry. We've followed the facts and money for a year now, working to reveal whether or not President Biden knew about, was involved with, or benefited from his family’s corrupt influence peddling schemes. It’s crucial to know whether the president, or any members of his family, were influenced by improper foreign business dealings. Congress will use our Article I inquiry authorities to get answers.

"While mass migrant caravans pull Customs & Border Protection personnel off the front lines, multiple Border Patrol checkpoints have been shut down – allowing criminals to flow in without resistance. Trade's slowly coming to a standstill, Law Enforcement Officers are exhausted, demoralized, and working overtime," said South Texas Cong. Tony Gonzales, following the Biden Administration's decision to suspend operations at the International Bridges in Eagle Pass & El Paso, Texas, at 8 AM Monday morning.

Valley Initiative for Development and Advancement (VIDA), in partnership with South Texas College, Texas State Technical College, Texas Southmost College, and the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley will use these funds to provide education and training programs in high demand occupations, including healthcare and specialized trades, for 420 students.

Honestly, when I first saw the recent story of a sex tape being filmed in the U.S. Senate, I was a little confused. Who hires a guy who posted sexually explicit pictures of himself all over social media? What office hired him in the first place? Ultimately, I find it odd the guy was hired to begin with. Did no one do a simple Internet Search during the hiring process? The answer is: Democrats have no standards – and this will soon be a requirement for being hired by them anyway.

Match the Promise is funded by individuals who have donated all or a portion of the cash value of property claimed by them in the state's unclaimed property program, as well as by donations from individuals, businesses and organizations and by state employees through the State Employee Charitable Campaign. The Foundation is a 501(c)(3) federal tax-exempt public charity.

“Today, we gather to honor those who served our country to ensure the freedoms we enjoy each & every day,” said Gov. Greg Abbott, as he and Texas' 1st Lady Cecilia Abbott honored the service and sacrifice of Texas Veterans at the Wreaths Across America wreath-laying ceremony at the Texas State Cemetery in Austin earlier today. Held as part of the annual National Wreaths Across America Day, this is the fifth year Gthe governor has participated in the ceremony.

“The Biden administration has announced CBP will issue yet another closure of two Texas-Mexico rail bridges, which will stop critical goods like farmers' grain and other consumer goods from flowing between our countries. President Biden and Secretary Mayorkas's failed immigration policies must not stand in the way of commerce."

Democrats say they want certain places to “look like America” but the true “look” of America is people the most qualified getting the job, the best winning, and people be able to go wherever they want without regard to their skin color holding them back. We fought a war against Democrats to end slavery, then spent 100 years fighting the segregation and Jim Crow laws they put in place to keep people hating each other.

Its crucial for the public to recognize that decisions regarding state insurance policies – especially in Texas – resonate nationally. The decisions we make here, impact crucial markets and hardworking families in other states all across the nation. So as a State Legislator, my duty is to safeguard consumers and emphasize that a state-centric approach to accountability and regulation is only effective when each state retains control. Such weighty matters should not be delegated to out-of-state groups. Here's why.
