Camp Liberty in Iraq once again came under attack yesterday when dozens of missiles rained down over the camp, killing at least two and severely injuring at least fifty others. It is no coincidence that this attack came shortly after Prime Minister al-Maliki's visit to Iran. By now, Prime Minister Maliki has made it painfully obvious that he has no intention of protecting the citizens of Camp Liberty. This is the fourth missile attack on Camp Liberty in 2013, yet no one has been held accountable. Read more about Congressman Ted Poe on Camp Liberty Attack

Earlier this week, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced its selection of Texas A&M University Corpus Christi as one of six public entities that will develop unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) research and test sites around the country.  

The combination of expertise from Texas A&M University Corpus Christi and wide open airspace in Texas make this an excellent choice for UAS research and development.

Americans standing in line like sheep led to the slaughter…. It is difficult for me to believe this is actually happening in America. What a sad testimony on the ill-informed and weakness of that state’s people.

This is what happens when good people remain silent and bad people take control of a population in the form of an abusive government. After all, we do understand, these new gun control laws in Connecticut WILL NOT affect the criminals and crazies who seek or already own guns.

Republicans warned Obamacare would be a disaster. And we are right.

One of the biggest problems posed by the government shutdown was that it obscured how bad Obamacare really is. News media attention is focused on closed parks and memorials instead of Obamacare’s serious faults, and just how badly Democrats misled the American people in pushing for its passage.

When U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was killed in December, 2010 and two guns were found that were linked to a gun walking program called Fast & Furious, we knew that his death would not mark the end of damage caused by these guns.

Michael Eric Dyson is the type the Left deem intelligent…but listen to his ration of excrement on Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson.

As my technical producer Dave Perkins points out:

Phil Robertson has a MASTERS degree in education and was a teacher in Louisiana schools for several years. He then made millions in the hunting industry after developing a product that works well and is sold all over the world.

Intellectually competitive, self-reliant, determined. Passionate about his field. Loving what he does. He was a drunk and a carouser, but that’s not ALL he was. Easy to underestimate him, if you are someone who evaluates on appearances.

As the Texas Republican Primary now kicks into full gear in the sprint to the March 4th Primary Election, Texas Attorney General Candidate, Barry Smitherman (currently Chairman of the Texas Railroad Commission), sat down again with TexasGOPVote to discuss some of the issues that will be faced by the next Attorney General of Texas. Employee misclassification is an issue that affects thousands of Texans. It is the practice performed by some companies attempting to cheat the system by classifying workers as independent contractors rather than employees to avoid higher costs and gain an unfair competitive advantage over companies who use ethical and legal employment practices.

One of the most important, but least followed, races in this coming primary is for the office of Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts. Besides overseeing the collection of state sales and gross margins taxes, the Comptroller plays a critical role in the creation of Texas biennial budget. You see, it is the Comptrollers crystal ball that predicts revenue for the state and tells the legislature how much money they will be able to spend.
