Happy Mother's Day
|
I would like to wish a very Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing mom’s out there – including my wonderful bride Roxanne as well as my three daughters and two daughters-in-law. The importance of your role cannot be overstated – you deserve far more recognition than a Sunday in May. I hope every mother has a wonderful day being honored by those who love you!

| Biden Omits "God" from His National Day of Prayer Address |
What has our nation come to when the president completely omits "God" from his National Day of Prayer address?
There is but one to pray to, and we need Him now more than ever.
|
| Every Aspect of Open Borders Endangers Americans |
Every aspect of open borders endangers/burdens our lives unnecessarily...
From the huge cost of illegal immigration to the taxpayer to the violent crimes committed by illegal aliens in our neighborhoods.
The human toll is real.
|
| ICE Deportations Now at the Lowest Monthly Level on Record |
CBP apprehensions are still at a 20-year high while ICE deportations are the lowest ever on record. Does this make any sense?
This administration would rather release dangerous, unvetted, and untested illegal aliens into our communities than send them home.
|
| Congress Must Hold Big Tech Accountable |
Facebook’s decision to continue banning President Trump truly shows us Big Tech’s blatant and partisan double standard.
The right to free speech is not dictated by the Left’s radical agenda. Congress must hold these platforms accountable!
|
| Democrats See the Border Crisis as Their Future |
Biden's Border Crisis is a political fight for the Democrats because they see this as their future.
More illegal aliens = more Democrat voters.
Power should never be prioritized over your health and safety.
Thanks to Newsmax for having me on to discuss this, Biden raising the refugee cap, and more!
|
| Biden Caves to the Radical Left Again |
The only thing Biden’s consistent on is caving to the radical Left and putting our safety last.
Inviting in tens of thousands of unvetted refugees – including those from terrorist hotbeds – is insanely irresponsible and will lead to another crisis.
|
| Biden's Spending Should Concern You |
In just 100 days, Biden has proposed $6 trillion in new spending to pile on top of our already $28 trillion-plus national debt.
Like Sen. Manchin, this reckless spending should deeply concern you – especially since you, your kids, and grandkids will be paying for it for years to come.
|
| VP Harris Blames the Climate for Creating the Border Crisis |
Joe Biden’s rhetoric and policies are the “root causes” of the border crisis – FULL STOP.
Giving away millions of taxpayer dollars to Northern Triangle countries without any kind of accountability in place is stupidity.
|
| Gun Control Does Not Work |
Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws in the entire country, yet it's riddled with violent crime.
Clearly, gun control does not work.
This city needs a new strategy: enforce the laws already in place, support law enforcement, and invest in new leadership.

| Congratulating the 2021 Congressional Art Competition Winner |
On Thursday, I hosted a ceremony at Hardin-Jefferson ISD to recognize the participants and announce the winner of the 2021 Congressional Art Competition. This year's competition followed the theme of “TX-36 the Energy Capital of the World.” First place was awarded to Josye Meteer, a junior at Hardin-Jefferson, for her artwork "Oil Cars in the Early Morning," which will now be displayed in the U.S. Capitol for an entire year.
I'd like to congratulate Josye Meteer and thank each of the talented students who participated in this year’s Congressional Art Competition, as well as the art teachers and families who supported them throughout this process. Since the discovery of Spindletop in 1901, the area encompassing much of Texas’ 36th Congressional District has been the epicenter of the nation’s energy sector. We have so many great artists in TX-36, and I'm extremely proud to show off their work to visitors from both our district and different parts of the country as they pass by the display in the U.S. Capitol.
First Place Winner

| Discussing Biden's Reckless Spending on Fox Business |
We do not need $6 trillion in NEW spending.
Democrats are using vital issues like infrastructure to hide their radical agenda and the president is letting it happen.
Biden is the Puppet-in-Chief, and the far-Left is pulling his strings.
|
| Biden's Lies Continue |
When members of your own party call you out for outright lying to the American people... priceless.
|
| Participating in National Day of Prayer |
I gladly joined my friend, Pastor Danny Biddy, and many other church, community, and elected leaders on Thursday afternoon to celebrate National Day of Prayer.
We came together to pause and put ourselves humbly before God to ask for His guidance for our nation and His grace and mercy upon us as a people.

| Joining the Texas Public Policy Foundation |
I joined Kevin Roberts with the Texas Public Policy Foundation on Monday afternoon to talk about what steps Texas can take now to address the ongoing Biden Border Crisis. Take the time to watch below!
|
| The Horrible Consequence of Biden's Border Crisis |
This the horrible consequence of Biden's Border Crisis and the Left’s open-border policies.
Avoidable tragedies like these are why we MUST disincentivize illegal immigration.
|
| Talking Space on Star Wars Day |
Great #MaytheFourth (Star Wars Day) chat with Kevin Price about America’s space program. We talked NASA, SpaceX, the Space Force, and more!

| The Border Crisis Is Solvable |
The USDA is sending 500 untrained volunteers to “help” at our out-of-control southern border.
This border crisis could be solved if Biden would actually put the best interests of Americans AND migrants over politics.

| Recognizing the 76th Anniversary of V-E Day |
Yesterday marked 76 years since the Allies formally accepted Nazi Germany’s unconditional surrender – marking the end of WWII in Europe. May 8, 1945 – dubbed “Victory in Europe Day” or “V-E Day” – was a joyous occasion but not the end of the war.
America and its allies immediately turned their attention towards the war against Japan in the Pacific – a struggle that would continue for nearly four more months. I am proud and extremely honored to have known many of these heroes, who as young men left their homes and families to take up the fight against tyranny. They are truly our nation’s finest generation of men and women, and they’ve forever earned our heartfelt appreciation.
