Would you be surprised to learn that Obama is using intimidation to get the men who served with Bergdahl to keep quiet? I know, I know…just another fake scandal, right?
The Department of Veterans Affairs recently flagged the Corpus Christi VA clinic, and 7 other VA facilities in Texas, for further investigation. The investigators suspected willful misconduct at these clinics, but have not determined a cause yet. I am gravely concerned that the problems being reported out of VA clinics throughout the country are occurring here at home - where we expect that veterans to receive proper care.

The Texas Ethics Commission has agreed to look into the way Texas Right to Life paid for radio ads that used “defamatory” language against Sen. Bob Deuell, R-Greenville, in his race against challenger Bob Hall.

This week, I introduced H.Res620 calling on the Government of Mexico to immediately release Sgt. Tahmooressi and return him to the United States to allow him to receive care for his PTSD and the President of the United States to do all that he can to secure his release.
On March 31, Mexican authorities arrested 25-year-old U.S. Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi at the U.S.-Mexico border. Three firearms, all registered under his name in the United States, were discovered in his car. Two months later, Sgt. Tahmooressi is still in a Mexican jail.

The next time you hear how the Koch Brothers are buying the election or that climate realists like yours truly are nothing more than tools of big oil, let's be a little honest about who are the biggest profiteers.
Tom Steyer is a billionaire who is committed to saving the world from man-made climate change, and he has made it clear that he will spend 100 million dollars to elect Democrats. Of course this billionaire has earned much of his hedge fund fortune by, get this, financing coal mines and coal-fired power plants throughout Asia and Australia.
