The voter fraud in this year’s presidential election was widespread and extensive. Instead of asking where was the fraud? The real question is where was there NO fraud? Democrats used every trick in their book to steal votes and manufacture ballots. Here is the latest proof of voter fraud in Texas. Democrats manufactured votes — in the same city, in the same handwriting and at the same address. This is what Democrats do. And they will continue to do this until people are sent to jail. WHERE IS THE DOJ? WHERE IS THE FBI? WHAT HORRIBLE PEOPLE! This needs to...

Harris County Commissioners approved a restructuring of how county toll road revenue can be used, which is concerning some people in northwest Harris County about how road projects will be funded.

Let’s be clear: Forcing Texans to endure another round of COVID-19 lockdowns, especially during the holidays, will do more harm than good—for both body and mind. It didn’t take long after the initial wave of government shutdowns...

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- The SH-288 toll lanes are open and you'll have to pay to use them starting today. Until now, the fees had been waived. Adjustable pricing is based on time of day and volume of traffic. In other words, if the lanes get too congested, toll prices will increase to control traffic. "I think you have to realize that the tolls will be managed based on time of day. If you're in the tolls during peak, it will cost a little more. If you're driving off peak, it will be less. And that's how they're designed," said...
