Texas just threw down the gauntlet.

Well, it was Sherman so he is well acquainted with hell and had no doubts where he was headed.

I wonder whether Sherman met Andrew Carnegie and Henry Clay Frick there?

Frick: “Tell Mr. Carnegie that I’ll meet him in Hell, where we both are going.”

Smart move to have the AG fire the shot across the bow, it buys time, gives Abbott flexibility and puts the next move on the feds.

Thanks.

Dayum. Thats gonna leave a mark. #spanked.

True poetry. Paxton is a poet, but he doesn’t know it, but his feet show it, because they’re Longfellows.

Ignoring the word migrants...but one of the few sources with video of yesterday when Texas began arresting single male and female invaders using state trespass law.

Texas authorities have begun arresting migrants at public park near US-Mexico border, official says

As the surge of migrants continues to overwhelm authorities at the U.S.-Mexico border, tensions between Texas and federal officials are escalating.

I'm looking to get out of Commiefornia, but I won't be headed for Texas. I'm looking at Tennessee, Virginia, or North Carolina. Wish me luck.

My niece lives in TN and absolutely loves it. Good luck to you.

Interesting take from a liberal consulting firm;

"What we found

Overall, non-native Texans were much more conservative than the state as a whole, and some moved to Texas explicitly because of its conservative politics."

SURVEY: Despite GOP fears, new Texans are pushing the state to the right

Between 2010 and 2020, California essentially lost a congressional district to Texas, with somewhere around three-quarters of a million people moving from the Golden State to the Lone Star State. And the perception on the ground is that this migration has sped up since the pandemic started.

I have a brother and his wife as well as a college buddy who live in Central Texas and they say that many of the CA transplants are fairly conservative-minded and are, for the most part, fitting in just fine! Always a few 'quirks' in the crowd!

My nephew, also from CA, moved in with us, just before Thanksgiving, and he is a conservative-minded, country boy living in San Bernardino County...and didn't 'fit' there at all!

He's still 'shell-shocked' over the freedoms we have in the Midwest (aka, Indiana + cost-of-living + firearms) but he's making the adjustments and loving it!

If Alexander Berkman had been a better shot, Frick would have gotten there first

And HCF would never have gotten to call AC “a g.d. thief” when Andy tried to force him out of Carnegie Steel.

Frick might have been evil, but he was never the phony that Carnegie was. And I say that as a graduate of Carnegie-Mellon University, which Andy founded.

I moved from Manassas Virginia to Indiana 13 yrs ago.
I love Va. But it's crowded and expensive.

But Carnegie didn't engage the Pinkertons to storm the Homestead plant

If Berkman had stumped Frick it would have been justified retribution

Happiness was Commiefornia in my rear view mirror . . . 29 years ago in 1995. I cannot begin to imagine living there now. North Carolina and Virginia also have some issues depending on where you go in those states. Out of the three, Tennessee would be my pick, but definitely not Nashville!

Or Memphis, maybe Knoxville either.

Stay out of Memphis. it is a very crap town to put it extremely polite. Knoxville is a good location. Nashville is having a lot of Cali and NY republicans moving to it. It will finally be red in about 10 years or so, but very expensive to live there. And the traffic, well I don't have enough middle fingers anymore to drive there. lol

I'm not sure which is the bigger s-hole: Memphis or Gary.

My company maintains cameras in several of the projects in Memphis. One of my guys finished installing a new cam and was sitting in his truck doing paperwork. Hood rat actually had the nerve to walk up to my guy and ask "So how much could I get for one of them cameras at the pawn shop?" My guy was smart enough to say "Nothing. They only work on this system here. They wont work anywhere else. (a lie)

They now do paperwork elsewhere. They only stay on site as long as they have to and then GTFO.

I would guess it depends on the day. lol They must be sister cities. lol

I think this is what he is referring to:

Webster is going to have to update their definition of "bitchslap".

I just discovered that the Texas Military Department has its own YouTube channel devoted to Operation Lonestar.

Here’s one of the recent vids. If you do YouTube, go subscribe and upvote the videos.

Texas Air Guard SSgt with the Modular Mobile Surveillance System (M2S2). Radar/Video/Thermal sendors mounted on a pole raised from the back of a pickup. Sort of an ISR “technical.”

The system is built by Elbit Systems of America in Fort Worth. Elbit is an Israeli company.

The Border Patrol budgeted to buy some of these under Trump, and that was carried forward at least one one year into the new administration, but I don’t know if they were ever allowed to execute it

 

[Alamo]

I did not know until just a few minutes ago that Florida sent National Guard to the Texas Mexico border seven months ago. I don’t know if they’re still there or not.



The YouTube video I posted is one of the Florida news stations doing a report, but they don’t let their video be played elsewhere. You have to go watch it on YouTube to see it.
