Representative Bell instrumental in securing 3rd District Court for kaufman county
The brilliant conservative comedian/philosopher, Evan Sayet, recently hit the nail on the head while diagnosing one of our nation’s biggest problems – the death of patriotism and the rise of socialism.From Evan Sayet’s Facebook Page:
In the wake of World War II, the world knew that nothing like National Socialism could be allowed to happen again. The Leftists took advantage of this fact, and convinced the world the problem was nationalism.Europe dealt with this by creating a supranational government, the EU. America dealt with it by waging war against patriotism and dividing Americans based on race, sex, income and nation of their ancestry.The problem is that the evil was never nationalism — nationalism isn’t evil, it’s morally neutral depending on the character of the nation one adores — the evil was always Socialism.In fact, Nationalism was the only bulwark against the evils of Socialism. If the people of Great Britain hadn’t so loved their nation, they wouldn’t have had a reason to so fiercely stand up to the Socialists bombardments and win World War II. If Americans hadn’t so loved their country, they wouldn’t have had a reason, much less the fortitude, to stand up against the evils of Communism and win the Cold War.The Leftist assault on patriotism has been so successful that, in America, simply to be called a “patriot” today is seen as a synonym for a terrorist. In fact, the word was one of the criteria used by the Obama administration in determining who to use the IRS to war against in their corrupt and evil campaign.This war of the Socialists against the Nationalists is the underlying war that has been going on in America (and Western Civilization) ever since and it is now coming to a head. It was the choice offered to the British who chose to be a nation rather than part of a Socialist entity with their vote to exit the EU and it is the choice being offered the American people between the Socialist Hillary Clinton and the Nationalist Donald Trump.I implore you to vote for the Nationalist, whatever his flaws, over the Socialist, because being patriotic about America is the ONLY bulwark against the utter evils of the Socialists, be they National Socialists or International Socialists because socialism and it’s sister ideology Communism (and it’s ally, Islamism) are the true evils in this world.
As we approach the joyous occasion of Independence Day, I want to take a moment to reflect on the significance of this historic day and express my appreciation for the liberties and freedoms we enjoy as citizens of this great nation. On the 4th of July we commemorate the bravery, vision and unwavering determination of our founders, who forged a path towards independence and self-governance. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by countless individuals throughout history that laid the foundation for our nation and fought to preserve it ever since. July 4th is a celebration of the values and principles that continue to guide us today.
Let us come together with our loved ones, friends and neighbors to appreciate the blessings of liberty, foster unity and express our gratitude for the land we call home. Wishing you a memorable and patriotic Independence Day!

Statement from Representative Keith Bell on Impeachment of Attorney General Ken Paxton
It brought me no pleasure today in taking the vote for Articles of Impeachment of General Ken Paxton. As an elected official, he and I took the same oath of office to defend the laws and Constitution of Texas and United States of America.
I promised you to serve with honor, integrity and humility. To do so is a great honor, but it comes with a greater responsibility and I willingly accepted the consequences of my decisions and actions.
The electorate no longer respects elected officials and unfortunately politicians have earned it! It is a statesman however, that will do the right thing regardless of the risk to the next election or their position.
Today, I had the duty and obligation to do just that. I honored myself, my family, my Creator and House District 4 by voting my faith, my convictions.

Governor abbott declares a Border Invasion
On Tuesday, November 14, 2022, Governor Abbott sent a letter to County Judges along the Texas Mexico border thanking them for expressing support for the actions that the state of Texas has taken to secure the border.The Governor has signed an executive order.
In my Executive Order GA-41, I invoked the Invasion Clauses of Article I, § 10 of the U.S. Constitution and Article IV, § 7 of the Texas Constitution to fully authorize Texas to take unprecedented measures to fight back against the invasion at our border. As Governor of Texas and commander-in-chief of its military forces, I am using that constitutional authority, as well as other authorization and Executive Orders to: •Deploy the National Guard to safeguard our border and to repel and turn back immigrantstrying to cross the border illegally;•Deploy the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) to arrest and return to the borderimmigrants who crossed illegally and deploy DPS to arrest illegal immigrants forcriminal activity;•Build a border wall in multiple counties on the border;•Deploy gun boats to secure the border;•Designate Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations;•Enter into a compact with other states to secure the border;•Enter into agreements with foreign powers to enhance border security; and•Provide resources for border counties to increase their efforts to respond to the border invasion.
Texas has devoted more than $4 billion of Texas taxpayer dollars toward these and other efforts to secure the border and enhance public safety.
In January 2023 when the next Congress is sworn in, we must remind our representatives in Washington that securing the border is the federal government’s responsibility under Article I, § 8 and Article IV, § 4 of the U.S. Constitution. Congress should reimburse the State of Texas for the billions of dollars we have had to spend on border security in the Biden Administration’s absence. Federal officials who will not faithfully execute the immigrations laws should face hearings and even impeachment. Finally, Congress should amend statutes like 18 U.S.C. § 242 to ensure that our Troopers and Guardsmen are not exposed to federal criminal prosecution for protecting Texas against illegal entry between the ports of entry.
Join me in sending this urgent message to our congressional delegation, which has the power to act under Article I, § 8 of the U.S. Constitution. Texas has done more than its fair share for far too long. The time has come for the federal government to do its job. Sincerely, Greg Abbott
