As the border crisis continues without any help from Washington, it has become Operation Lone Star for the lone star state.
Started by Governor Greg Abbott in March, because somebody had to do something! The Texas National Guard, along with the Texas DPS have arrested 800 criminals, while confiscating all kinds of drugs, like 3,800 pounds of marijuana, and and 19 pounds of cocaine.
Chris Cabrerra, a border patrol agent, as well as the vice president of the national border patrol council told KTRH that Operation Lone Star has made a difference. We re getting a lot of help from the state of Texas in general, whether it s DPS or the National Guard. This week, they spotted a child in the river drowning and they saved her life, so these guys are already making a big impact down here.

Texas state lawmakers are moving quickly on legislation that would punish cities and counties which defund their police departments.
Senate Bill 23 would require a vote by the people if local officials wanted to cut or transfer money away from police. Cities and counties that do not hold an election would be prohibited from collecting property taxes.
The legislation is in direct response to Austin s decision to transfer money away from police, and the fallout since.
“Trash piling up. People camping on your property and using drugs, committing crimes. All sorts of assaults, fires and everything else happening,” says Charlie Wilkerson with the Combined Law Enforcement Associations of Texas.

Despite the campaign promises to the contrary, the Biden tax hike is coming. For all of us.
President Biden promised that he would only increase taxes on the rich , as well as big business .
Unfortunately after not one, but two, trillion dollar spending bills, that s just not possible.
E.J. Antoni wrote a terrific piece about the true plan for the Texas Public Policy Foundation, and he talked about it with KTRH. You can t just go and print trillions and trillions of dollars, which is literally what we did last year to pay for all of this excess government spending, and hope to not see any detrimental effects Antoni said.
