CONG. McCAUL: Americans Agree – Enough Is Enough

Last week, I proudly stood with my colleagues and constituents to declare "Enough is Enough" as we officially voted to impeach Homeland Security Sect. Mayorkas, the architect of our nation's border destruction. I look forward to serving as an impeachment manager for the upcoming Senate trial, where I will use my experience as a Federal Prosecutor to stand up for our Constitution – and the safety of the American people.

HUNTER: Here's Why This is Not Your Father's Democrat Party

The Democrat Party is a group of insufferable children, spoiled & entitled, throwing a constant series of temper tantrums without interruption. They're the brat in your child’s class that's constantly indulged with reassurances that they’re “special” and important – when what they need is a butt-reddening series of spanks that make it difficult to sit for a week. That won’t happen: Leftists don’t have adults on their side.

'Bidenomics' is Great if You’re an Illegal Alien – It's Catastrophically Bad for Everyone Else

At least 1-in-5 jobs being created by "Bidenomics," it turns out, are actually Government Jobs – and a new Immigration Studies Report shows that the supposed "millions of jobs" Joe Biden brags about are mostly happening among illegal immigrants. Biden's open borders aren't just for "transforming America" – it’s also at the core of Bidenomics. "While there were still 183,000 fewer U.S.-born Americans working in the 4th Quarter of 2023 compared to 2019, the number of immigrants (legal & illegal) working is up 2.9 million.”

The Strange Disconnect Between Israel and Ukraine

The Ukrainian and Israeli wars are similar and yet also different conflicts. Ukraine was invaded by a huge Russian state, with a population three-and-a-half times greater, a gross national product 10 times larger, and an area 30 times its size. Hamas, by contrast, is a terrorist clique of about 50,000-70,000 gunmen and terrorist kingpins who run Gaza. It is dwarfed by the Israeli population (20 times larger), economy (27 times greater), and area (60 times larger).

DEMOCRAT's PANIC: “It Confirms Every Doubt & Concern Voters Have... How Can He be President of the United States?”

Former Clinton political adviser Paul Begala summed up the way Democrat leaders now feel about Joe Biden’s candidacy after last week: “I sleep like a baby – I wake up every two hours and wet the bed,” joked Begala to CNN. “This is beyond devastating,” said another Democrat operative, speaking anonymously in order to candidly talk about Biden’s visible mental shortcomings. “It confirms every doubt and concern voters have... how can he be president of the United States?”

PERRY: After Overcoming Obstacles, Texas is Continuing to Lead the Way with New Energy Production

As Secretary of Energy under Donald Trump, I made our nation’s Energy Security – as well as exploring innovative technologies – a major priority. And despite the well-known attacks on the Oil & Gas Industry the past few years, developments in Texas are once again gaining attention on Wall Street, and show that The Lone Star State will continue to lead the way in energy production. Since the U.S. Oil & Gas Industry possesses a unique set of engineering & technology skills, its leading to some exciting innovation.

Sen. Cruz Votes Against Funding Bill That Fails to Secure the Texas-Mexico Border

“If new legislation absolutely must happen, there is a straightforward and viable option: H.R. 2. This bill, which I’ve led in the Senate, is the only serious border legislation that has been considered this Congress, and it contains real solutions for the border crisis such as building the wall, tightening asylum standards, reinstating the Remain-in-Mexico policy, increasing the number of Border Patrol agents, and more. . ."

PAXTON: Court Denies Biden’s Effort to Dis­miss Texas Law­suit Against New 'Asy­lum Rule'

The U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security – at the direction of Sect. Mayorkas & President Biden – is seeking to establish an "Asylum Rule Transfer" by moving authority given by Congress to U.S. Immigration Judges to the more lenient processing position known as an "Asylum Officer." Because this violates the statutory system Congress established, as well as the Appointments Clause of the Constitution, Texas sued to halt the move. The Federal Government then sought to have case dismissed, but a U.S. District Court has rejected that White House request.

McCAUGHEY: Providing Room & Board to the Same People Who Rob & Threaten Us Makes No Sense

The Statue of Liberty says, "Give me your tired, your poor." It doesn't say your lawbreakers, brutes & gang leaders. Criminals posing as asylum seekers are turning America's Cities into war zones. Venezuela's Tren de Aragua Gang – feared for how it tortures its victims – has set up shop in New York City, police say. "This is organized crime. It's just like the Mafia," says Paul DiGiacomo, president of the NYC Detectives' Endowment Association. Illegals, and Migrant Crime, is turning our cities into War Zones.

NO, Yesterday's Special Election in New York Was Not a 'Bellwether' as the Media Suggests

Many of you may have noticed the media's obsession in suggesting that yesterday's Special Election for New York's 3rd Congressional District would serve as a "bellwether" for the upcoming Presidential Election. But looking at the District's recent elections, calling it a "bellwether" is a very hard sell from where I sit.  The Democrat winner last night had previously represented the district for three terms, and was a pseudo-incumbent. In fact, he underperformed compared to his past elections.

Texas Once Again Leads the Nation in Truck Bottlenecks 

“Texans are no strangers to traffic congestion,” said Texas Trucking Association President John Esparza, adding, "unfortunately, all that congestion means our state’s economy takes a hit – as does our roadway safety and our environment." He made the comments as the American Transportation Research Institute released its 13th Annual List highlighting the most congested bottlenecks for trucks in America – and 13 Texas locations made the "Top 100."

ALEXANDER: Biden’s ‘[Insert Policy Failure Here] Crisis’

Fact is, Democrats only care about poor illegal immigrants to the extent that they'll provide fresh blood for future Democrat Union Bosses – and millions of additional voters for the anti-American Democrat Leftists who've opened our nation's border to "Remake America." And, they'll perpetuate that voter base by claiming so-called “birthright citizenship” for their children while they're at it. So let me tell you what would not be happening if Donald Trump were still president.

Media, Democrats Want to Know: Why Is Joe Biden So Unpopular?

Yes it's “The Economy Stupid,” as the iconic sign hanging inside Bill Clinton’s campaign headquarters famously said in 1992. But in 2024, voters are also concerned about things like a raging Border Crisis, an escalating war in the Middle East, and Joe Biden's ability to handle inflation. This is where Biden’s age & "mental faculties" come into play – and with an increasing frequency, each soundbite is being looked at under a microscope. He's providing voters with more reason be concerned.
