The only issue that matters.

The longer Texas holds out the greater the exposure of the contradictions between words and actions by the Biden regime. It’s time to push the limits of federalism when the central government fails to execute its primary purpose of upholding the sovereignty of the nation.

Abbott Delivers Blistering Statement To Biden, Insists Texas Has Authority To Repel Border ‘Invasion’

Completely meaningless unless accompanied by action. Easy to just make statements while just giving in to the Feds in practice.

Let’s see if any other states chime in. Drawing lines in the sand here. Looks like

It could become a standoff. Biden looks completely castrated if he doesn’t respond. They kicked an ex presidents door in already.

State guards were used to defend our borders as late as World War II.

The center right is the real enemy. The center right is the real enemy. The center right is the real enemy.

Perhaps Abbot has seen that the only way out...

Uh, the Court did not order Texas to stand down. They simply and very narrowly ruled that the Border Patrol could cut the wire. Texas has not been enjoined from doing anything under the ruling.

I appreciate you trying to encourage the good fight, but your credibility suffers when you botch the basic facts.

When’em farmsteads took the Plain

And drank a round a hope

The green boys heard the terr’ble reign 

Of the pestilent Jackalope.

-

But here’s a better tale

Whispered from the Rio Grande

Whose vexin’ the Swampy fail

Called a prolific Gregedand.

-

The critter’s’ just been found

A buck-tooth smilin’ beaver

With a rack a longhorns for a crown

That’ll surely suture a cleaver.

“I’m closing down Eagle Pass

And double the depth of this moat.

I’ve got them buoys, best-in-class,

And lined containers from a boat.”

-

And when he nearly stopped the route

He put down razor wire.

But the black robed owls gave a hoot, 

So the gators crawled from their mire.

-

With callous grins and bandsaw teeth

They broke the barricade,

“This land, to you, we bequeath.”

And the rattlesnakes made their stay. 

-

But good’ol Gregedand kept on workin’

Placing down the coil,

“They have their cries, but I’m’a shirkin’ 

And my dam will be their foil.”

-

And when the crocs came round once more

To enforce their false inflection,

You better see what’s in store

When you mess with a hearty Texan.

“At the very moment when some of them seemed plunged in unfathomable abysses of disgrace and disaster, they have suddenly emerged. They have begun a new course and opened a new reckoning, and even in the depths of their calamity and on the very ruins of their country have laid the foundations of a towering and durable greatness.”

Hopefully this will be a beginning of something grand.

Funny, the 🍀 said same thing Easter 1916. Odds better here.

“This is madness, but what a grand madness it is” .

Odds better here.

The silliest thing about all of this is that nobody is contradicting the federal government's power over the border. It is the fact that they are not using their power over the border that is the issue. The President is derelict in his duty, and to argue in Biden's favor is to argue that the federal government has the right not to enforce laws while also arguing that state governments have no right to enforce laws that the feds refuse to enforce. With the logic they have given us, a Republican administration would be under no obligation to enforce any laws passed by liberal congresses.

The only Law that matters is self defense. Keep the lawyers and talkers to the rear , men with guns to front.

That’s the natural order of things, let it reverse and we’re doomed to betrayal by the talkers- that’s all they have to offer.

Look up the letter Abbot just sent to Biden.
