[FoxNews] In recent years, Texas has seen a surge of local governments, school districts and associations — such as the Texas Association of School Boards — hiring lobbyists with your tax dollars to wine, dine and entertain legislators in an effort to influence legislation.
[X] He could afford them just fine, so long as dear little son Hunter Biden was serving on interesting company boards and selling his interesting paintings. But that seems to have gone away, for some unknown reason, and somehow also no one is interested in paying Papa Joe large fees to make speeches. How long do you think it will be until all involved choose to simplify their lives and downsize to more humble surroundings, dear Reader?

Ohio freshman GOP Sen. Bernie Moreno has introduced legislation that would increase the criminal penalties for harming a police officer after a sheriff’s deputy was killed in the line of duty in Cincinnati, Ohio, earlier this month.
Moreno’s Larry Henderson Act, being introduced this week, would update existing law stating that anyone who forcibly assaults, resists, opposes, impedes, intimidates, or interferes with any law enforcement officer engaged in official duties be required to face one to eight years in prison, depending on the severity.
Moreno’s bill would up that mandatory minimum to 20 years.
The bill also "establishes federal jurisdiction over these crimes as exclusive and preemptive, superseding state or local prosecution for federal officers."
[FoxNews] The Department of Homeland Security issued subpoenas to the government of Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, on Monday seeking records related to alleged disbursements of federal funds to illegal immigrants colonists.
ICE's Homeland Security Investigations [HSI] office in Los Angeles filed the subpoenas this week, targeting the state's Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants colonists [CAPI].
According to the program's website, CAPI is intended to provide monthly cash benefits to aged, blind, and disabled non-citizens who are ineligible for federal Supplemental Security Income, but the White House claims it provides benefits to illegal immigrants colonists who cannot access social security benefits.
DHS Sec. Kristi Noem criticized California politicians in a statement, saying, "Radical left politicians in California prioritize illegal aliens over our own citizens, including by giving illegal aliens access to cash benefits. The Trump Administration is working together to identify abuse and exploitation of public benefits and make sure those in this country illegally are not receiving federal benefits or other financial incentives to stay illegally."
She added, "If you are an undocumented Democrat, you should leave now. The gravy train is over. While this subpoena focuses only on Los Angeles County — it is just the beginning."
