    Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is preparing to send “thousands more” migrants to the Big Apple, Chicago and other sanctuary cities “in the coming days,” as the border is besieged ahead of Title 42 ending this week. Abbott, a Republican, slammed President Joe Biden for failing to act as states bordering Mexico prepare for the end of the federal policy which has allowed for the fast ejection of immigrants from the US since it went into place in 2021. Even before its end, the border has been swarmed with 81,000 people attempting to cross into the US in the last 10...

    The lawless Biden regime is destroying the country very purposefully, one day at a time. There is currently a crisis ignored by the fake news mainstream media that is killing the country. A record number of illegal aliens are crossing into the United States on a monthly basis. The number of illegals crossing into the US is likely the largest regime-approved migrant invasion in world history. In September a record 227,347 illegal aliens were captured at the US border walking into the country across the open border. So far, in 2022, there have been 2,378,944 apprehensions of illegal aliens at...

    Governor Abbott was discussing the situation and giving updates when gun-grabber Democrat Beto O’Rourke interrupted the presser. Abbott was flanked by several state leaders on the stage. When Beto started shouting and pointing at Abbott one member on the stage started screaming back at him. Audience member: Sit down!… I can’t believe you’re a sick son-of-a-bitch to make a political statement at a time like this.” They don’t go for those sick Democrat politics in Texas. Beto was whisked away by security and left the room a few moments later.

    Southwest Airlines and American Airlines, both based in Texas, said Tuesday that they will continue plans to require employees to get vaccinated, despite an edict issued by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott that would ban vaccine mandates for private businesses in the state. "Federal action supersedes any state mandate or law, and we would be expected to comply with the President's Order to remain compliant as a federal contractor," Southwest said in a statement to POLITICO, referencing the Biden administration's requirement that government contractors be vaccinated by Dec. 8. "We will continue to follow all orders closely and keep our employees...

    Joe Biden had another disastrous day Friday in Texas. Of course, the liberal media once again hid this from their audience. Advertisement - story continues below Biden traveled to Houston, Texas with his handler, Dr. Jill, but she couldn’t save Joe from his mid-stage dementia. Joe was confused and lost and even admitted it during his brief speech. Joe Biden: Lizzie Panilli, uh, excuse me, Pannill, and uh, what am I doing here? I’m going to lose track here. And, uh… Mayor Turner… My family spent a lot of time here in Houston by the way. And, uh, hey John...

Wilson only used one round to kill the gunman. The incident was caught on the church's livestream and showed the attack was...

    Governor Greg Abbott today released the following statement regarding the Supreme Court’s same-sex marriage ruling: “The Supreme Court has abandoned its role as an impartial judicial arbiter and has become an unelected nine-member legislature. Five Justices on the Supreme Court have imposed on the entire country their personal views on an issue that the Constitution and the Court’s previous decisions reserve to the people of the States. “Despite the Supreme Court’s rulings, Texans’ fundamental right to religious liberty remains protected. No Texan is required by the Supreme Court’s decision to act contrary to his or her religious beliefs regarding marriage....

    Senator Whitmire, D Houston, during his non-filibuster filibuster. I just watched hours of debate in the Texas Senate on Committee Substitute HB 910.  The Senate Committee had removed the Dutton amendment, that stipulated that the police could not stop you for merely exercising your right to carry openly, and ask for a permit or license.    Here is the amendment: CERTAIN INVESTIGATORY STOPS AND INQUIRIES PROHIBITED.   A peace officer may not make an investigatory stop or other temporary detention to inquire as to whether a person possesses a handgun license solely because the person is carrying a partially or wholly...
