EAST TEXAS (KLTV) – Governor Greg Abbott has been busy signing laws in recent days, but one he signed Monday will likely be the favorite among Texas children.
It’s a lemonade stand law; Abbott called it a “common sense law” that had to be passed so that police would not shut down children’s lemonade stands. The bill was introduced by Fort Worth Republican State Rep. Matt Krause. It proposed that the sale of lemonade and other non-alcoholic beverages on private property and in public parks would be allowed. It would also prevent homeowner associations from drafting rules that would prevent neighborhood lemonade stands. It was sent to the governor, who signed it with a bit of humor, ending his video with, “cheers.” Continue reading “Gov. Greg Abbott signs ‘lemonade stand law’ so kids’ drink stands can’t be shut down”

Our politicians are hard at work introducing bills that promise to turn America into a mirror image of China.

Anita Whitney (Better known as Al Whitney) lived in Central Ohio. She had a diverse background which included health care, environmentalism, child advocacy, and community viability. She was a Respiratory Therapist for many years and was married to a retired physician.
In 2009, Al founded “For Ohioans” (now Parents Against Mandatory Vaccines) as a response to the bogus swine flu pandemic.

America’s European allies are finally spending more on defense, but the Trump administration is raising hell about it because some of the allies want to spend the money on weapons made in their own countries.
The irony is immense. Throughout his presidency, and even before, Trump has been browbeating the NATO allies to boost their defense budgets, even threatening to leave the alliance if they didn’t pony up. Now that they’re doing so in a politically viable way—by investing in their own companies—top U.S. officials are complaining. Continue reading “The Trump Administration Has a New Problem With Europe”

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – The Trump administration is again changing the way it vets people who want to sponsor minors who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border alone in an effort to speed up the release of thousands of migrant children currently in U.S. custody.
Under the change, announced to staff on Friday, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which houses unaccompanied migrant children, will no longer require an immigration records check on potential sponsors already backgrounded by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

In a year when Bernie Sanders is making his second run for president and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has become a political Twitter star eclipsed only by Donald Trump, socialism is on the rise among Americans – especially women.
A Harris Poll conducted for Axios found that 55 per cent of U.S. women between the ages of 18 and 55 would rather live in a socialist society than a capitalist one. Continue reading “MAJORITY of American women age 18-54 would prefer it to living in a capitalist country”
