“This funding is vital to ensure that low-income residents can pay their utility bills – which are increasing due to Joe Biden’s failed energy policies,” said Congresswoman Mayra Flores (TX-34.) noting that roughly 2,900 applications in her district will go unfunded. Utility bills have been increasing all over Texas and the nation due to inflation – and Mr. Biden’s anti-American energy policies.

According to Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar, the state's energy producers paid $552 million in taxes in September 2022, up 41% from September 2021. “The oil and natural gas industry is meeting our energy needs more responsibly than any other nation in the world, while funding public education and our state’s Rainy Day Fund,” said Todd Staples, president of the Texas Oil & Gas Association.

“Crime is the beneath-the-iceberg issue for voters in 2022, and it’s absolutely clear in these numbers. Americans of all political backgrounds have a strong belief in protecting the innocent, and punishing the guilty,” said Mark Meckler, president of the organization conducting a recent poll showing that 95% of "Likely General Election Voters" oppose Democrat policies favoring release of violent criminals.

​​​​​​​Over the past decade, most states have taken a page out of Texas’ playbook and are now winning major corporate re-location projects that Texas has traditionally won. As a result, Texas needs to design an updated effort to replace the one expiring in 2022. Without a state-based incentive program, Texas will not be on a level playing field to recruit jobs to local communities around the state.

With November's Elections less than six weeks away (41 days,) a 57% majority of Americans now believe it’s likely the United States will enter a 1930s-like Depression over the next few years. In May, 55% said a depression was likely. The latest Rasmussen figures also indicate that 41% "Strongly Disapprove" of the job President Joe Biden is doing, while just 22% "Strongly Approve."

"This must be a spending problem – not a revenue problem – and Judge Hidalgo shouldn't be twisting the truth," said the principle author of Senate Bill 2, Texas State Senator Paul Bettencourt, weighing in on Harris County's use of the "no-new-revenue-tax-rate" and what it means for future County Property Tax Revenues.

The best gift Republicans in South Texas can give Robert Francis "Beto" O’Rourke and local Democrats – where the GOP's hard-work engaging with local citizens on issues important to them is taking hold – is to divide the party going into the singular most important election in state history. So guess what's happening in Medina County, Dimmit County & Pecos Counties?

Texans are feeling the impacts of higher interest rates and inflation, yet as we worry about prices at the grocery store or at the gas pump, some lawmakers in Washington, D.C. are more focused on taking down America’s most successful technology companies than they are on offering solutions to mitigate the impacts of economic turmoil on consumers and small business owners.

After the first two buses of illegal immigrants arrived in the "Sanctuary City" of Chicago from Texas last week – as part of Gov. Greg Abbott's effort to relieve South Texas' cities from the Biden Border Crisis – Chicago's Mayor Lori Lightfoot said the city would welcome and assist them in finding shelter, work and schooling. Now, it turns out, Mayor Lightfoot is promptly busing some of those very same immigrants to the Chicago suburbs.

"Mayor Lightfoot loves to tout the responsibility of her city to welcome all – regardless of legal status – and I look forward to seeing this responsibility in action as these migrants receive resources from a sanctuary city with the capacity to serve them," said Gov. Greg Abbott, announcing the arrival of the first group of illegal immigrants now being bused to Chicago, Illinois from Texas. The migrants were dropped off at Union Station.

Joe Biden took a trip to Pennsylvania yesterday, and was supposed to "unify" Americans behind a “Safer America” agenda that supports law enforcement and reduces crime. It was meant to be a layup for Thursday night's "national address" about "saving democracy" and "promoting unity," but instead an angry old man showed up to divide Americans with another unhinged, hateful, and at times downright threatening message to his political opponents.

​​​​​​​“Mano DeAyala will do what’s best for Texans, and will demonstrate the same tenacity as the next State Representative for Harris County as he's achieved in a distinguished career. I appreciate his work for our great state, and look forward to welcoming him to the Texas House,” said Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan, as he and the Texans for Lawsuit Reform PAC joined to contribute $50,000 to DeAyala’s Campaign for House District 133.

“No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law.” That’s what it says right there in the Constitution – yet without legislation signed into law President Biden now promises to “forgive” up to $10,000 or $20,000 in Student Loans. Not so very long ago, Biden himself admitted he didn't have the authority to "cancel" those loans "by signing with a pen." ​​​​​​​There is no norm Democrats aren’t willing to destroy for political power.

​​​​​​​"This list represents our initial effort to shine a light on the entities that are engaging in these practices, and create some clarity for Texans whose tax dollars may be working to directly undermine our state’s economic health,” said Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar, announcing his first list of 10 Financial Companies and nearly 350 Individual Investment Funds that use their financial clout to push a Social & Political Agenda shrouded in secrecy.

Ahead of Friday's vote in the House of Representatives on the so-called "Inflation Reduction Act" that hires 87,000 new IRS Agents, a controversial new IRS job posting lists as a "key requirement" to be "legally allowed to carry a firearm," since "major duties" will include "Carry a firearm and be willing to use deadly force, if necessary," and "Be willing and able to participate in arrests, execution of search warrants, and other dangerous assignments."

After U.S. Border Officials have stopped 3.1 million immigrants crossing the nation's Southern Border illegally during the first 17 months of Joe Biden’s presidency, the Biden White House has announced it is ending President Donald Trump's "Remain in Mexico" policy following a U.S. District Court Judge's ruling on Monday. Mr. Biden's Dept. of Homeland Security will no longer track the immigrants in the Migrant Protection Protocols Program known as the "Remain in Mexico" policy.

Joe Biden’s and Democrat's weeks of trying to redefine the word "recession" has done little to quell the concerns within even his own party, as nearly half – 47% of Democrats – say they believe the economy is in a recession, says the latest Rasmussen Reports Poll. And, 59% said they agree with the statement, “Democrats inherited an economy primed for an historic comeback, and promptly ran it straight into the ground.”

China's President Xi Jinping delivered a fierce warning to President Joe Biden this morning during a two-hour phone call, telling him, "Those who play with fire will get burned. We hope the U.S. side can see this clearly," as tensions between the two super-powers approach a boiling point while the White House braces for a potential military response to Nancy Pelosi's upcoming trip to Taiwan.

In the aftermath of a soaring inflation report two weeks ago – showing that June's prices were rising at their fastest rate in over 40 years and inflation was at its highest level since 1982 – the Federal Reserve announced earlier today it was again hiking interest rates and would continue its aggressive campaign of increases through the end of 2022. Bank officials signaled more rate increases are on the way.

There’s a critical Mid-Term Election coming up in November, so Joe Biden and his fellow Open-Borders, "Defund the Police," and Soft-On-Crime Democrats want you to believe that they’ve actually been focused on – and have all along cared about – the nation's escalating level of crime. In reality, the only thing they’re focused on is reelection, and they're playing big time defense on crime.
