Rep. Tom Reed : “We voted for this bill because it was the right thing to do for America’s future,”

“We voted for this bill because it was the right thing to do for America’s future,” says GOP Rep. Tom Reed about criticism from members of his party over his vote for Pres. Biden’s infrastructure bill. SEN. TED CRUZ: "Well, I think it is a bad bill. I think it is really unfortunate that we saw House Republicans assist the White House. They were getting their clocks cleaned. It’s another $1.2 trillion in spending; it’s on top of the trillions in spending we have already seen. As you noted, that is already driving inflation across the economy. The price of food is going up; the price of milk is going up; the price of gasoline is going up…the price of rent, of homes, of lumber…everything is going up and the Biden administration is causing it. Unfortunately, we saw a handful of House Republicans decide to rescue [House Speaker] Nancy Pelosi from the bill crashing on its own. I think that did two things that I think were problematic. Number one: it did what the Biden White House wan...

BREAKING: Jen Psaki smothers Ted Cruz in mockery over his opposition to vaccine mandates, sarcastically calls him "word renowned business, travel, and health expert

  Press Secretary Jen Psaki on people who say vaccine mandates have reduced the workforce: "I know world-renowned business, travel, and health expert Senator Ted Cruz has made that point, but I wouldn't say that is widely acknowledged or echoed by business leaders...by health experts...” Q  And one last one: What’s his answer — what’s the White House response to people who say vaccine mandates have reduced the workforce and contributed to this problem?   MS. PSAKI: Well, I know world-renowned business, travel, and health expert Senator Ted Cruz has made that point. But I wouldn’t say that that is widely acknowledged or echoed by business leaders who have implemented these mandates, by health experts who have conveyed the way to get out of the pandemic is to ensure that we’re doing exactly the steps the President has announced and we are working to implement.   It doesn’t mean this isn’t hard and challenging — of course it is; we’re in the middle of a global pandem...

Sen. Ted Cruz on Afghanistan exit: Biden did not anticipate what would happen

  Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, rips Biden and his administration for the 'poorly executed' Afghanistan withdrawal, arguing the move is a 'military failure.' nam This is a really good point that I wish I had thought of this week while watching Biden’s failure in Afghanistan unfold before the world’s eyes as he vacations in Camp David: Ted Cruz and his family were endlessly attacked for taking a vacation during an ice storm, yet Joe Biden and Kamala Harris get free passes for taking vacations while Afghanistan falls to the Taliban. — John D • (@RedWingGrips) August 17, 2021 “Ted Cruz and his family were endlessly attacked for taking a vacation during an ice storm, yet Joe Biden and Kamala Harris get free passes for taking vacations while Afghanistan falls to the Taliban.” Exactly right. Where is the outrage over Biden and Kamala vacationing as thousands upon thousands of Americans are stranded in Afghanistan because of his nightmare foreign policy strategy there. The double s...

Democrats vote AGAINST amendment protecting Americans by deporting illegals with COVID

  Cruz has been blocking dozens of nominees from the confirmation process in protest of Biden’s sanction reversal on Russia’s Nord Stream 2 pipeline last month.    "I have made clear to every State Department official, to every State Department nominee, that I will place holds on these nominees unless and until the Biden administration follows the law and stops this pipeline and imposes the sanctions," Cruz said Wednesday morning. In the middle of the night, Ted Cruz reported that Democrats all voted against his amendment to protect Americans by deporting illegals coming over the border with COVID: Democrats just voted against my amendment that would have ensured the Department of Homeland Security continues to expel illegal aliens under Title 42 to protect Americans from the spread of #COVID . pic.twitter.com/99g1OuUwjg — Senator Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz) August 11, 2021 Cruz cited the thousands of illegals with COVID being dropped off in McAllen, Texas by the Biden admini...

Breaking News! Ted Cruz will self-quarantine after interacting with individual with coronavirus at CPAC

Ted Cruz  issued a statement Sunday revealing that he had interacted with an attendee at last month’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) who had tested positive for the  coronavirus  --and as a result, he'll stay at home until two weeks have passed since the encounter. Officials with the American Conservative Union (ACU), which hosted CPAC, said Saturday the attendee had been exposed before the conference, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed his case. Cruz said his interaction with that individual “consisted of a brief conversation and a handshake.” Today I released the following statement: pic.twitter.com/XGXEa4ozcg — Senator Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz) March 8, 2020 “I’m not experiencing any symptoms, and I feel fine and healthy. Given that the interaction was 10 days ago, that the average incubation period is 5-6 days, that the interaction was for less than a minute, and that I have no current ...

The Republicans have yet to completely shut the door on new witnesses

Senators Ted Cruz, R-Texas; Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska; and Susan Collins, R-Maine, LINDSEY GRAHAM, R- South Carolina  are among a small group of Republicans who have yet to completely shut the door on new witnesses, wanting to hear arguments first. Democrats would need them and at least one more in order to be able to call witnesses, but Graham warned that if they get their wish, the GOP will look to call defense witnesses such as Hunter Biden. 1.  CRUZ: Well, that's right. It's kind of strange how we got here. So Democrats have been having hearings, have been doing impeachment for months in the House. They brought in all sorts of witnesses. They blocked the minority from having any witnesses. And then, as soon as we get to the Senate, the Democratic talking point is, we want more witnesses. Never mind all the witnesses they called before. They want yet more. And they're trying to delay this. They're trying to drag this out. They want this trial to go on forever, ...
