Illegal activity that harms the U.S. is coming from Mexico in much the same way as it does from other corrupt individuals in other countries the U.S. currently sanctions. Texas should compile a list of corrupt Mexican elites and request the federal government to deny them entry to the U.S. or revoke their visas. Read...
OPEC’s recent decision to cut oil production has sent Biden and his administration into a tailspin. Instead of fighting to prevent OPEC from hiking American energy prices, Biden attempted to goad the oil cartel into delaying their announcement for a month. With the midterms just around the corner, Biden has been left scrambling to cover...
Biden’ recession is taking its toll on all Americans. As the price of food and fuel continues to rise, many are growing increasingly worried about the future of the economy. Instead of unleashing the potential of American energy, President Biden has moved to ease sanctions on the South American dictatorship Venezuela. It’s a terrible response...
Joe Biden campaigned on the promise to go against American produced energy, and Americans are feeling the effects of that promise. In response, Biden has begun to use up the strategic petroleum reserve, so much so that it is now at the lowest level since its creation. This move could have disastrous consequences for both...
While social media may be a “free” service to us, it comes at the cost of having our data harvested and used as the currency for popular platforms. A digital bill of rights would put Texans in the driver’s seat of their personal data. It would give us the right to know what data is...

Despite high inflation and a recession, Democrats are pushing for tax hikes on Americans. The Inflation Recession Act would not only raise the burden of taxes on most Americans, but also keep inflation high without supporting more economic growth. There must be a pro-growth policy approach to recover from progressive policies that got us into...
Americans are paying nearly three times more than other countries for prescription drugs, and Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) are part of the reason why. They act as a third-party middleman to drive up costs of medications. A system that prioritizes higher priced drugs over those that are cost effective is not working for the American...
When the Biden administration erased $5.8 billion in student loan debt, six-figure checks were written to well compensated lawyers and doctors around the country despite the lefts’ claim to champion the middle class. Why did this happen? Because student loan forgiveness only shifts the burden of payment onto lower income workers. Luckily, there is an...
Extra territorial jurisdictions (ETJs) are forcing some Americans living outside of their city limits to comply with local regulations without their consent. This buffer zone extending 5 miles outside of every city can lead to copious regulations without representation. From needless control, to lack of services and no say in who represents them, ETJs have...
There is no such thing as highly-specialized, kid appropriate drag shows. It should be common sense. Childhood innocence is something worth protecting with all of our might.
