Today- Things to Know:
Rebuilding
our military
·
President Trump is signing the John S. McCain National
Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2019,
authorizing $716 billion for national defense.
·
The Administration worked in close partnership with
Congress to complete the NDAA.
·
This is the earliest in the year Congress has completed
an NDAA in over two decades.
·
The NDAA helps develop a more lethal and resilient
force, and grows the size of our forces by authorizing
an increase of 15,600 troops across the Army, Navy, Air
Force, and Marine Corps.
·
The NDAA authorizes end strengths of 487,500 in the
Army; 335,400 in the Navy; 186,100 in the Marine Corps;
and 329,100 in the Air Force.
·
The NDAA authorizes $7.6 billion to procure 77 F-35
fighter jets and $24.1 billion to fund the construction
of 13 new battle force ships and accelerates funding for
several future ships.
Standing
with Allies and Partners
·
The FY 2019 NDAA authorizes funds for critical

support of Israel, authorizing $500 million for the
co-development and co-production of missile defense
systems.

Funds authorized by the NDAA will help the United States
and its partners continue the fight to destroy ISIS,

Help is on the way for Americans facing high drug
prices
·
The “American Patients First†blueprint has a few
important principles to guide the Administration’s plan
of action:
·
Encouraging innovation, such as by streamlining the
approval process for over-the-counter drugs
·
Promoting real price competition, including by advancing
“biosimilars†and generics where appropriate
·
Addressing foreign freeloading, including the practice
of subsidizing countries that use socialized healthcare
to offload costs on Americans
·
The plan: See President
Trump’s “American Patients First†blueprint
An update
on Judge Brett Kavanaugh
·
Senate leaders plan to hold a vote on President Trump’s
nominee for the Supreme Court, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, by
early fall. Meanwhile, a diverse group of legal
scholars, editorial boards, and public figures have
called for his swift confirmation.
·
“Judge Kavanaugh has an exemplary record that suggests
he will help to restore the Supreme Court to its proper,
more modest role in American politics and society,†The
Wall Street Journal’s editors write. His 300-some
decisions on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District
of Columbia “reflect a great allegiance to the words of
the Constitution,†the Chicago Tribune adds.
·
Most important, he receives rave reviews from those who
know him best: his former students and fellow members of
the legal community. “I’m a liberal feminist lawyer,†Lisa Blatt writes. “Sometimes a
superstar is just a superstar.â€

The Absurdity of "Trump/Cruz Can't Win" /
source: townhall.com
Have we not all learned that this is a terrible year for broad
pronouncements? The past months are littered with the failed
assertions of oh-so-smart people who just knew they had
everything figured out.
Trump is a joke. No, wait, he’s inevitable. He’s out of control.
No, now he’s more disciplined, He’s got this. No, he’s a loose
cannon.Cruz has no chance to be the nominee. No, wait, now he
has the inside track. His campaign operation has too many flaws.
No, now they are the smart ones with the best delegate roundup

After Republican rout, Obama tells voters: 'I hear you'
WASHINGTON –
Reuters
-
U.S. President Barack Obama acknowledged on Wednesday that
"Republicans had a good night" with sweeping election victories
in Congress and said he got a message from voters that it was
his responsibility to break a Washington gridlock. Republicans
seized control of the U.S. Senate in Tuesday's election and
captured their biggest majority in the House of Representatives
in more than 60 years. The party also won more than half of the
36 governors' races. "As president, I have a unique
responsibility to try and make this town work," the president, a
Democrat, said at a White House news conference. "So, to
everyone who voted, I want you to know that I hear you."....read

From the President!
November 4, 2014, a sudden instance of success
describes the nationwide Republican Victory. No way! It happened
over several months; the hard work of grassroots Republican
efforts. Republicans gain 8 seats in the U.S. Senate with
Louisiana in a runoff, 12 seats in the U.S. House with 2 in a
runoff, and 3 more Governors. In Texas, Republicans sweep all
statewide positions. In Dallas County, Republican Susan Hawk
wins DA race. In Dallas County, the momentum is a building block
for 2016. Continued effort by the Grassroots can turn Dallas
County
RED. Enjoy the success and keep working.

FACT CHECK: Obama's planned executive orders would accomplish
less than meets the eye.
WASHINGTON – President Obama promised to clear red tape away
from highway projects that actually are stalled because there's
no money for them, not because rules are in the way. He's
ordering a higher minimum wage for a sliver of the workforce,
which affects no one now and not many later. Going it alone --
without Congress making a law -- just doesn't go as far as Obama
made it sound at times Tuesday night in his State of the Union
speech. And when he talked about his health care law -- a source
of Obama misstatements in the past -- he hit another fact bump.
A
look at some of the facts and political circumstances behind his
claims, along with a glance at the Republican response:....read

Republicans Must Never Surrender
Republicans lost a battle with the reelection of Obama to a
second term, but now is not the time to surrender. Liberal
Democrats are waging war on the America way of life. They are
relentless in attacking our freedoms, and they don’t seem to
care that their policies are spending our country into oblivion.

It’s Time to Support our Republican Candidates
The primaries are now over. It is time to put aside any
differences we might have and give our full support to the
Republican candidates that we chose to represent us. As usual,
the primary battles were tough. In the presidential race, we
endured seemingly countless debates in a war of attrition before
Mitt Romney became our presumptive nominee. The race for Texas
senator was marked by vicious mudslinging, and some might say
outright distortions of the truth, before Ted Cruz came out on
top.

The Future of America is Not Lost
I write this article from the perspective of having recently
been a Judge at the Irving Classic Speech and Debate Tournament
for home-schooled teens as well as hosting a debate given by a
group of Speak Out North Texas teens at our May, 2012, Greater
Irving Republican Club meeting. To say that these young men and
women are impressive is an understatement. With a minimum of
preparation, these debaters were well spoken, intelligent, and
presented coherent, well-organized arguments. When the meeting
was over, many of us were asking ourselves “were you doing
anything like that at age fifteen?â€

Embrace the Republican Primary Season
The primaries bring a mixture of excitement and angst to
Republicans. On both the national and local levels, our
candidates are out on the campaign trail. They are touting all
of their personal and professional qualities as well as their
achievements. Candidates are knocking on doors, making phone
calls, and attending any event they can to make their candidacy
known and secure our votes.

A TRUE VOTE is needed in Dallas County
Is there voter fraud in Dallas County? Eighteen years ago as an
election judge, I felt certain that the answer was no. Today, my
answer is yes. Some increased opportunity for fraudulent
activity is because of a widespread desire for voting
convenience, modernization, and access. Unfortunately in Dallas
County, something far more sinister is afoot.

In what has become a regular attack on Texas by liberals in

because it has come from Texas Congressman Lloyd Doggett (D-Austin)

I am a conservative, and when it comes to politics one question
always sneaks into my mind… WHY? One reason that many people give is
