It should come as no surprise that Barack Obama is a man of the left.

As such, he tends to downplay American exceptionalism and overplay his global worldview. As a partisan politico he has elevated opponent bashing into an art form. But his latest scree against conservatives was historically unhinged. Read more about Americans Have Always Distrusted Government

CHAIR Mayor Julian Castro May 21, 2013

The lethal tentacle of Obama has hit San Antonio and his name is Julian Castro, mayor of the city and a Catholic. We have all heard the stories of his glorious rise to fame as keynote speaker at the September 2012 Democrat National Convention where he loudly and proudly stood before the delegates and proclaimed

With the regular session of the 83rd Texas Legislature finished, there are a number of decisions made by the current legislature that are positive steps forward for the future of our state. However, there were a number of failures on the legislative front; and important state issues were left unresolved.

On the positive side, most noteworthy was the long overdue recognition by our legislators that “one size doesn’t fit all” when it comes to educating our children. As Chairman of the Texas Workforce Commission, I pushed for greater cooperation among school districts, local community colleges and technical institutes such as Texas State Technical College (TSTC). I am pleased with Sen. Lucio’s bill to prevent high school dropouts through career and technical education

I recently announced the creation of the Texas Maritime Caucus, which I will co-chair with Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson from the 30th Congressional district of Texas.

The Caucus’ mission will be to promote Texas ports and waterway districts, illustrate the importance of the ports and waterways to areas of the state and nation beyond the Gulf of Mexico, and advocate for changes in current law to facilitate optimal import and export of cargo and the transportation of passengers.

This week I filed an amicus brief in the United States Supreme Court challenging (Noel Canning v. NLRB) the constitutionality of President Obama’s January 2012 “recess” appointments to the National Labor Relations Board. President Obama jammed through appointees that he knew the Senate would not support, in an unprecedented power grab. Read more about Senator Cornyn Stands Up Against Obama's Recess Appointments

As the debate on immigration reform rages on in Washington D.C., the Clear Lake Tea Party (CLTP) has decided to bring the debate closer to home and will host its own event on Thursday, June 6th.

Joe Straus, Texas Speaker of the House of Representatives, has KILLED all important pro-life bills in the 2013 Texas Legislative session. Joe Straus is not pro-life and NEVER has been. Straus has stated to the media that abortion is not a serious issue but a wedge issue.

Straus and his House Leadership prevented the Texas House of Representatives from even being able to vote on these bills. These bills, among other things, would prevent abortions after 20 weeks due to the fact that unborn babies can feel pain that early. Another bill that was killed would have created higher health standards for abortion clinics and would have helped stop abortionists like Kermit Gosnell who run Hitler-style murder houses where babies are born alive and then murdered. In fact, a Houston abortionist has recently been exposed for murdering babies in gruesome fashion (like twisting their heads off) after they have been born alive. Joe Straus is a DISGRACE to all Texans and cares not about the infanticide of innocent babies.

My latest documentary reveals a pattern of para-military gestapo tactics used by the IRS Criminal Investigation Division and Justice Department against Conservative American citizens in states across this country. According to the Chairman of the Institute on Constitutional Policy, the Constitutional rights of these citizens and private business owers have been violated and there is more than sufficient evidence for a Congresional House investigation.

Holy John McCain, a Democrat “fatcattress” so rich she forgot to report $80M!?

Amazing, when you consider that the average American has to budget for trips to the grocery store, under Obama’s reign.

No worries, as forgetting to report $80M for “progressives” is just an oversight. And how did major Obama fundraiser and Obama appointee, billionaire Penny Pritzker, get the position of Secretary of Commerce?

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is mourning the loss of two special agents who were killed on May 17, 2013 during a training exercise off the coast of Virginia Beach, VA. Special Agent Christopher Lorek and Special Agent Stephen Shaw were both members of the FBI’s elite Hostage Rescue Team, which is part of the FBI Critical Incident Response Group (CIRG) based at Quantico, VA.
