In every election cycle, we are bombarded with speeches, slogans, and shiny promises from politicians eager to earn our trust—and our vote. But in the noise of campaigns and commercials, a critical truth is too often overlooked: words are cheap—actions reveal character. It is not enough to listen to what politicians say; we must look closely at what they have done.
Texas legislators wrapped up the 89th session last week, passing more than 1,200 bills — 800 of which were sent to Gov. Greg Abbott in the last 10 days of the session, The Dallas Morning News reported.

Since its official establishment, June 14, 1775 the U.S. Army has played a vital role in the growth and development of the American nation. Preparing for the future, the Army looks back on its past. “This we’ll defend” was first used as a battle cry by the Continental Army and is the theme for this years 250th celebration! To fight and win the nation’s wars is the Army’s purpose. They set these goals , living the values that have defined our Army culture for the past 250 years, enforcing standards and discipline, and to remain committed to honing warfighting skills. The Army helps create a sense of purpose through personal growth and professional development. It has supported our nation, while bearing true faith and allegiance to the country, the Constitution, their units and fellow team members. Holding true to their motto “to be all you can be!” As a result, empowering Soldiers to be part of something greater than themselves.
