| That would be 52% of the states in the republic, if you're keeping score at home. |
In today's echo of History That Was, Emperor Poopypants has elected to play the part of the Redcoat commander, marching on Lexington and Concord. We await his arrival at Concord Bridge with no small amount of glee.
Twenty-five Republican governors (so far) have issued a joint statement calling out Emperor Poopypants' dereliction of duty and refusal to uphold the Constitution, by allowing the unmitigated invasion of the United States through Mexico, and supporting Texas' position on self-defense unequivocally.
No word on how hard Vermont Gov. Phil Scott's arm is being twisted to make this unanimous among the 27 (R) governors, but if you're in the neighborhood, you might hear shoulder bones cracking.
At least 17 of those states have sent material support and/or their own NG personnel to assist Texas in staunching the flow of illegals into America. This has now snowballed beyond the point where TX Gov. Abbott can easily self-sabotage it, even if he's the squish-spined WEF pawn many have claimed, and events are taking on a life of their own.
And just to pile on, Texas' Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick threw down the gauntlet to FedGov, essentially telling the entire federal lash-up, "If you feel froggy, jump!"
And if anyone on Team Illegal Invasion, particularly FedGov, thinks they somehow have the other twenty-four states on their side at this point, they've got another thing coming.
The last time something like this happened was early in 1861.
Stock up on canned goods, and go deep on popcorn and beverages. There may be a whole lot of job openings in the federal job market soon.

It's not Federalizable, not being part of the National Guard.
Apparently Biden wants to shut down natural gas exports. Texas and Louisiana could give the Biden Administration the finger and up their natural gas exports. All of the LNG terminals are in red states, as is all the fracking sources of this natural gas. They should start unilaterally building Thorium MSR nuclear power plants in the red states as well.
ReplyDeleteVery mixed feelings. Texas is right of course, but if one or more border patrol agents are hurt/shot or one or more Texas rangers or national guards is hurt/shot this will 100% be blamed in Abbot and the right. This is a mistake in that if it goes down with any violence at all the Dems win in the court of public opinion. ANd they need a win because right now the public doesn't like Biden's policies. So this is risky and is like giving Biden and the Dems a perfect scapegoat.
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting for the Great Acuckening. If a POC mob shows up at Abbott's house, he'll Chuck. I can't see him calling for Murat with the Grape nor telling Captain Bragg to lay some grape on some Mexican formations.
ReplyDelete@Skyler,
ReplyDeleteThis appears to have gotten beyond purely Abbott's control, so I don't think that's possible.
@Anon 7:40A,
1) That's the attitude that got us here.
2) Any feds injured or killed will get that way by trying to violate the constitution. Frankly, under those circumstances, I hope they kill hundreds if given good cause.
3) Anyone injured or killed stopping that will become a martyr, and be laid at Biden's feet as the proximate prime cause.
4) In both instances, the blood of all is on Biden's hands, for throwing the border open with about as much careful consideration as the chickenshit bailout from Afghanistan.
Worse=better.
That kind of problem is what gets him impeached, or better, removed for disability under the 25th Amendment, and retired in ignominy, just ahead of the biggest electoral landslide in US history.
I would hope for actually seeing him and his puppet-masters hung by the neck until dead, but that's just a wish to Santa at this point.
Well shiite. I imagine there is a lot old buzzards, ex-military, ex-police, ex-hunters, all of that are not up to hiking off to a front. Then again, consider fed. govt. is a nation wide equal opportunity of "employment".
ReplyDeleteRe: "the court of public opinion" if any law enforcement / border patrol / federal agents /national guard / regular military / etc. get wounded or killed over this...
ReplyDeleteLooking at social media posts and new articles, I think peoples' minds are pretty much made up by now about almost everything "right vs left" - the 2020 election results, the January 6th protesters, the Vax shots, President Trump, etc. How people who already hate you for your opinions and political views will react should not determine what you will do if you have already counted the costs and weighed everything in the balance and come to a decision point.
Certainly, considering how the 2020 and 2022 elections went, I would think that if someone feels they are morally and legally justified in their actions, I don't think they should need to worry about how their actions would affect the 2024 election.

ReplyDeleteAssuming you are referring to people wanting to go to Texas to "help".
Considering that there is already a precedent for locking down the entire country and restricting traffic over a "national emergency" with the Covid lockdowns, I would say that if you are not already where you want to be when things kick off - and the Fed hammer of control possibly comes down hard - just stay where you are and be the best use you can be in your own area of operations.
The thing about anyone going to "help" is that unless they are really bringing something useful to the party, since everyone needs to drink water, eat, urinate and defecate at least once a day, they will become a burden regarding water, food and sanitation resources in whatever area they wind up in Texas.
So unless by invite by people who are willing to put you up and house and feed you and put you to good use, best just stay where you are and try to be useful there.

ReplyDeleteYes! About 66% have made up their mind one way or another. bout 33% on either side. About 34% have not. They are easy to sway one way or another and very sensitive to dramatic actions or over dramatizing by the MSM. The MSM needs this kind of event to over dramatize about so badly that they or there cohorts will invent or stage it. My simple advice is don't give to them. DUH!
Of course NC would the opposite way. I'd love to see Asheville scoured off the map.
ReplyDeleteAnd...apparently the Border Patrol union came out against removing the wire.

ReplyDeleteBwaahahahahahahahaha...
Spoken like someone who thinks in 2 dimensions.
When Abbott "shutdown" the Texas-Louisiana border during COVID, I giggled as I flew to a friend's house in Texas.
I'm a 1% er.
