10 Steps to Save America
Yes, there is a way. But is there the will?
Most Americans know something has gone terribly wrong - and very abruptly - with the United States. They are certain that our wounds are almost all self-inflicted. The current pathologies are not a result of a natural disaster, an exhaustion of natural resources, plagues, or an existential war.
Crushing national debt and annual deficits, spiraling food and fuel costs amid “normal” seven-percent-plus annual inflation, bread-and-circuses entitlements, a nonexistent border, a resurgence of racial tribalism, pandemic violent criminality, and humiliation abroad - all these pathologies are easily cited as symptoms of a sick patient. Our crises are not as the Left maintains - a nine-person Supreme Court, the Electoral College, or the filibuster - all distractions from existential problems the Left largely created.
So, what are the therapies and prognoses for America?
Read the full article for the 10 steps. Victor Davis Hanson is excellent! If you’re not already a fan, you will be.
Updates on the Texas Legislature Activities. Only 24 days left in the 88th Session.
SB-1070 - Secretary of State Jane Nelson is working on a replacement cross-check program to replace ERIC. This is great news. According to Sen. Hughes it’s moving right along.
If you haven’t yet heard about the ruckus in the legislature on Tuesday regarding SB-14, a ban on transgender treatments for children, you’ll get a picture from Transurrection at the Capitol by Fran Rhodes, President of True Texas Project. Bonus: Lots more updates from her at that link also.
HB-3611, banning Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) has passed in the Senate, but is in the Elections Committee in the House. You can reach out to the Elections Committee and tell them to support this bill.
Similarly SB-147 prohibiting China, N Korea, Iran, and Russia from buying Texas land critical to agriculture, infrastructure, etc. has been passed by the Senate and is in the State Affairs Committee, and they need a push to support this bill.
