Guaranteeing Our Power Grid Remains Reliable and Strong
I want to thank Senator Charles Schwertner, R-Georgetown, and every senator from both parties who voted to pass one of the most significant senate bills in Texas history. This was one of my highest priorities in the last session. The senators understood that while renewables are a big part of our grid, we needed to level the playing field and add more reliable natural gas plants. Renewables are not dependable, and natural gas plants do not need the wind or the sun to power our grid.
Our plan was to balance federally subsidized solar and wind farms with building more dispatchable natural gas plants. The incentive package for new natural gas plants the Senate created has received an overwhelmingly positive response—we plan to add another $5 billion in incentives this coming legislative session.
Voters overwhelmingly supported our plan last November. Building these plants will take several years, but we need to start construction as soon as possible. I expect the Public Utility Commission to move forward without delay as soon as the Texas Energy Fund loans are eligible for approval.
I will continue to fight for more dispatchable, gas-fired generation available on the ERCOT grid. The Texas Energy Fund is a step in the right direction to guarantee our grid remains reliable and strong.
What a Blast! We must ensure the next generations of Texans “Remember the Alamo”
On Sunday, Jan and I traveled to Yoakum to raise money for the Alamo’s preservation efforts. We had a great time shooting off a replica of the historic cannons. The demonstration allowed us to vividly imagine the moment 188 years ago when Lt. Col. Travis fired an 18-pound cannon at the Alamo. We raised over $150,000 for the firing of the cannon.

Lighting the fuse and firing the cannon.
Some of my staff were able to join.

About 125 Texans and 18 shooters joined the celebration. It was a great time honoring such a huge part of Texas’s history.

Leading the Charge for Mental Health Care Funding in Texas
As Lt. Governor, I’ve overseen more investment in mental health care services than any Lt. Governor in history. Since 2017, Texas has invested $2.5 billion to replace and renovate hospitals all over the state.
In 2015, Sen. Robert Nichols, R-Jacksonville, invited several senators and me to tour Rusk State Hospital. That visit made the need to invest in state mental health hospitals clear. Later, I visited with Potter County Judge Nancy Tanner, and she expressed similar concerns. During my 2022 130-city rural bus tour, I heard from Texans across the state that improved mental health care, hospital bed capacity, and access were required.
Mental health care funding was a major priority of mine during the last legislative session in 2023. I am proud to have led the charge, which resulted in $2.3 billion allocated for mental health care funding statewide, and over $2 billion spent on inpatient and state hospital bed capacity and construction with new and replacement sites all over Texas.
Thank you all for your support and everything you do to keep Texas red. May God bless you and your family, and may He continue to bless the greatest state of all—Texas.
ICYMI, THIS is why we all know the Clinton’s are above the law:
We all know Hillary Clinton broke the law when she used a private server to send government emails. The government let her off without so much as a slap on the wrist. This response from Hillary gives us a perfect window into her warped psyche …
It’s pretty clear by just looking at the facts that she broke the law.
There were new developments regarding Clinton’s emails on Friday.
Hillary Clinton was ordered by a judge to provide further information regarding her emails.
Her response was ridiculous, even for her.
The Gateway Pundit reported that on Friday morning, Hillary Clinton answered the federal court order brought upon her by Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch. The federal court order pushed Clinton to answer new questions involving the setting up of the private server that she had used to send government emails.
Judicial Watch appeared in a DC federal court last month on a motion to compel more testimony from Hillary Clinton as well as to make public video recordings of depositions of top Clinton aides such as Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills.
The court ruled that Hillary Clinton must answer more questions about the setting up of her private server under oath.
As expected, Hillary Clinton responded to the court order with her usual arrogance — she said she set up the server for “convenience.”
Hillary Clinton doesn’t seem to care one lick that she broke the law.
There is no way of getting around this: According to Director James Comey (disclosure: a former colleague and longtime friend of mine), Hillary Clinton checked every box required for a felony violation of Section 793(f) of the federal penal code (Title 18): With lawful access to highly classified information she acted with gross negligence in removing and causing it to be removed it from its proper place of custody, and she transmitted it and caused it to be transmitted to others not authorized to have it, in patent violation of her trust. Director Comey even conceded that former Secretary Clinton was “extremely careless” and strongly suggested that her recklessness very likely led to communications (her own and those she corresponded with) being intercepted by foreign intelligence services.
It’s about time that Hillary Clinton provide answers.
In a shocking revelation, it has come to light that John Kerry, the former Secretary of State under the Obama administration, was found to be conducting secret meetings with Iranian officials back in March 2018. The purpose of these covert gatherings? To protect Iran’s nuclear weapons program.
These actions directly contradicted the Trump administration’s efforts to dismantle the Iranian nuclear deal that had been established during Obama’s presidency – a deal that had been widely criticized for funding terrorism in the Middle East.
It was reported that Kerry was seen dining with various officials from the Iranian regime. A photograph even captured him leaving a restaurant in Paris after one such meeting.
At around the same time, President Trump decided to withdraw from what he described as a flawed Iranian nuclear deal, recognizing its failure in addressing concerns related to Iran’s leadership.
Kerry reportedly advised Iranian officials to wait for a more favorable Democratic presidency after Trump. He knew full well that the money sent to Iran as part of Obama’s nuclear deal could potentially be used to fund terrorists.
In April 2021, an audio recording surfaced where Kerry can be heard sharing confidential information about Israel’s operations in Syria with Iran’s foreign minister – an act many consider treasonous.
The Biden administration claimed this information was public knowledge, but this was not the case.
In March 2024, House Republicans demanded Kerry reveal details of his unofficial diplomatic efforts with Iran during Trump’s tenure. They suggested potential violations of the Logan Act may have occurred.
Just this week, Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) announced he has obtained new emails indicating that John Kerry obstructed multiple FBI efforts to apprehend two dangerous Iranian individuals during nuclear negotiations with Iran while serving as Secretary of State under Obama.
The emails reveal that the State Department under Kerry’s leadership intervened to prevent eight arrests, including those of suspected terrorists, in order to protect the Iran nuclear agreement.
During the Obama Administration, the US State Department prevented the FBI from arresting people connected to Iran’s illicit nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs, including “known terrorists,” two Republican Senators said in a bombshell accusation.
Yesterday (Wednesday), Senators Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis) presented unclassified emails from the FBI obtained from whistleblowers showing that the State Department blocked multiple arrests in 2015 and 2016 so as not to jeopardize the Joint Plan of Action, the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran.
In a letter to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, the Senators wrote, “The records provided to our offices show that the Obama/Biden administration’s State Department, under the leadership of John Kerry, actively and persistently interfered with FBI operations pertaining to lawful arrests of known terrorists, members of Iranian proliferation networks, and other criminals providing material support for Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs.”
They elaborated, “For example, unclassified FBI email records from August 25, 2017, detailed at least eight instances connected to the Iran deal where the ‘FBI/DOJ/USG could have moved forward with the cases but the State Department chose to block them.’ According to the records, in six of these instances, the FBI lost the opportunity to arrest the main subject. The email says that one of the lost main subjects was noted to be ‘on the Terrorism Watch List” and another “returned to Iran.’ The email further says that in another instance the State Department ‘blocked [FBI’s] plan to arrest while the subject was mid-flight and the subject was forced to leave the US immediately upon arrival.’ The email also provides that at least two targets were arrested only after ‘State lifted their block…since the new [Trump] Administration took office.’”
