are you, Idaho, Utah, Arkansas, Tennessee, Missouri, Louisiana, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Wyoming etc.?!
Reports are that FL, OK, AK, and SD have already sent troops to TX. VA and ND have at least sent letters of support (and perhaps troops as well, though I am not yet clear on that). So what will happen? The time for choosing seems to be fast approaching!
this Texas border thing is a very dangerous situation. It is ripe for vigilanteism. Someone is going to get shot! Like (thematically) the Boston Massacre, the Fed soldiers are gonna get pelted with rocks, and then one Fed soldier freaks out and fires into the crowd in panicked self-defense.
At that point, all Hell breaks loose!
And it’s not just here in the US…
from a person who feels very much mistreated:
I am voting for Trump and I hope he wins. I hope he goes after the people who screwed him the first time around. You don’t get a return to civility by bowing to heinous attacks. You get it with a retaliatory strike so terrible they talk about what you did to them for hundreds of years. It has to be biblical. [emphasis added]
A TON of people really like the idea of a rampaging Trump returning to the White House!
didn’t see the battle coming here, And yet here it is…
Joe Bidenâs border policy is unconstitutional. Under Article II, his most fundamental duty as president is to âtake care that the laws be faithfully executed.â Biden has not faithfully executed our immigration laws; rather, he has deliberately sabotaged and negated them. This is an impeachable offense, but what to do in the meantime?
…Governor Abbott is not backing down. He is asserting Texasâs constitutional right to defend itself against foreign invasion. Yesterdayâs memo throws down the gauntlet and says that Texas will continue to defend its border.
And MANY states are on Texas’ side! And more are coming.
Will there be blood? I sure hope not. I really hope not. But this is a VERY dangerous situation. It’s a powder keg!
BONUS QUESTION: Lefties, tell me why it is OK to be “sanctuary cities” in violation of Federal law, but not OK for states to defend their own border.
Just no. And any Republican who goes along with it should primaried (if not recalled outright).
Get a couple recalled, and you can bet that the others will suddenly see the light!
not backing down. He is having none of it.
Abbott said that Bidenâs failures to secure the border âimposed by Article IV, § 4 has triggered Article I, § 10, Clause 3, which reserves to this State the right of self-defense.â
… âFor these reasons, I have already declared an invasion under Article I, § 10, Clause 3 to invoke Texasâs constitutional authority to defend and protect itself,â he concluded. âThat authority is the supreme law of the land and supersedes any federal statutes to the contrary. The Texas National Guard, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and other Texas personnel are acting on that authority, as well as state law, to secure the Texas border.â [emphasis added]
In case you didn’t understand, he is saying that the SCOTUS ruling is null and void in Texas because it is superseded by the Constitution.
The short response from Abbott?: Your money’s no good in here.
The ball’s in your court, Feds…
UPDATE: But even so, did SCOTUS rule that Texas had to allow illegal immigration? Perhaps not. But it is a complicated legal matter.
So, at this point, there simply is not a court order in this case governing who can do what to the concertina wire. The Government is free from the restraints of any court order forbidding it to destroy the wire. But, just as the Government was legally free to continue destroying wire after the TRO was filed but not entered, Governor Abbott is likewise free to have the Texas Rangers or National Guard safeguard the wire and block the feds from destroying its property (at least until Biden federalizes the National Guard).
Basically, the SCOTUS ruling was that the Feds were no longer prohibited from cutting the razor wire. That’s pretty much it.
If Nikki Haleyâs primary goal is to defeat Joe Biden in November, she will drop out tonight and endorse Trump. If she continues to stay in a race she cannot win just to attack Trump, then weâll know sheâs fully owned by the left-wing Democrats who are funding her campaign,â he said.
AsI have long said, Nikki Haley is a mole. Her job is to damage the Republican party. And it very much appears that she is doing what she is paid to do!
never happen. I’m almost 100% certain. It is just another self-serving feint. And NONE of s should be fooled for one second!
Manchin is just yanking your chain. This guy talks and talks. But he never files the paperwork. This guy is chronically full of crap! Like I have said, he is all hat and no cattle!
Sorry! THIS is the bitter fruit of Leftism. Always.
Despite the Fed jacking up interest rates faster than at any time since the inflation-crushing Reagan-Volcker hikes of 1981 â and sucking liquidity out of the economy via quantitative tightening (QT) â inflation remains stubbornly above the Fed’s 2% target… and it could come roaring back thanks to growing cracks in the foundation of Bidenomics.
Chicago are angry.
It started as a rumbling in Chicago’s predominantly black neighborhoods on the city’s south and west sides. Black Chicagoans are watching the city spending tens of millions of dollars on newly arrived migrants after years of unmet promises from the Chicago political establishment to black people in the poorest neighborhoods.
You know, maybe donât vote for Democrats? Elections have consequences, ya know…
