Texas Governor Greg Abbott has exposed a little more blue than prior to the COVID fiasco; and now he will likely face several Republican primary challengers in the next election. That said, today Governor Abbott was on television discussing the crisis at the U.S. Southern border with Mexico.
One of the data-points that Abbott shares comes via the Rio Grande Valley sector. In 2020 there was a total of 90,000 illegal border crossing apprehensions. So far this year there have been 110,000 apprehensions and over 800 of them were criminal aliens previously convicted of crimes in the U.S.
Human trafficking is a major source of funding for Mexican cartels, and they are now storming the border in an effort to overwhelm the Border Patrol. Additionally, various foreign nationals, from all over the globe, are also paying the cartels for transit into the United States.
Send out the Texas rangers and all volunteers to the border and send some projectiles for a quick message.
Coyotes season. Put a bounty on them.
A couple thousand patriots in the bushes with AR15s would get them to think twice once the illegals and coyote body count got high enough.
Complex problems call for simple solutions
The Minute men groups operated a few yrs ago…..it might come to that again.
When GWB and Condoleeza Rice stood next to a smiling Vicente Fox and declared the patriotic Minutemen as “vigilantes” it was then I decided to leave the Republican Party.
Correct. It’s not Coyotes or illegals. Only the rat bastards in Congress and the White House we should focus on
Coyotes and illegals are just a symptom of the problem. You correctly identified the criminal head of the snake.
Vigilantes are a group of people who join together for protection when the government has failed to protect them. bush and rice admitted the government had failed with their comment. And don’t leave out the traitor rick perry.
Good idea — if this were 100 years ago.
Today? such patriot defenders would be treated as The Proud Boys – officially repudiated, slandered, arrested.
And with “HEY, ABBOTT!” at the helm, tarnished as antisemites to boot.
The Feds would not approve. Then again, if we made it *dangerous* for Feds to interfere, then maybe we could solve this “crisis”.
That opens up a nasty can of worms. Not that I don’t whole-heartedly agree, but, the cartels operate in the open in all 50 states.
A war between the people and the cartels is what the globalist sponsored FEDs intended. Americans that survive the cartel will be arrested by the FBI and put in jails and prisons controlled by the cartels. There is no easy way to deal with this issue.
This is the way they have chosen to cull the American Spirited herd. The sheep simply back fill the vacancies. America is destroyed through criminal illegal immigration and the Establishment’s apathy/encouragement of it.
The cartels are outgunned and outnumbered. They don’t screw with us down here in the Valley because they know we are armed to the teeth.
Castle Doctrine still applies, even in deep south Texas.
Unless you have land near the border. Remember these are a PROTECTED class of SPECIAL people.
They start their relationship with Americans by breaking the law. W/o consequences.
Abbott should close the state. Eff the country!
If 5 states can thwart the will of the voters, this is no longer a union. And we should mitigate the damage now. Before we become California.
Sorry America, call us when you decide to honer your constitution.
Elections have consequences. And we shouldn’t suffer because you refuse to count all legal votes! Or apply the law equally.
#TEXIT
That would be great but Abbott will never do that.$$$$$$$$$$$
Okay first of all, a landowner has the right to defend himself on any property he owns. Period. That doesn’t mean you can go shoot an unarmed illegal alien that is not posing a threat any more than you can a fellow citizen.
TEXIT? What exactly would that accomplish? Nothing. We are already an appendage of Mexico. That would simply expedite the process.
Abbott is a RINO squish. He is not going to do ANYTHING except talk.
Time to primary him and move on.
#TEXIT would restore our sovereignty.
And dissing Abbott is the same tactic that cursed us with the bushes/richards.
Ann’s daughter needs a job.
Allen West
Allen West is a Bush acolyte .. don’t be fooled he wants to be prez too
Hard to find a pure MAGA type, I recon. Maybe Clay could run against a bunch of RINOs and win the nomination. I’m just saying that we are going to have to settle for a reformed conservative here and there, if we want to win everywhere. I supported W myself. I didn’t see where AlGore or CommieKerry were going to be an alternative and I have been at this Presidential election bs for a long time. Sometimes we settle for the lessor of the two weevils because we want to avoid bigger disasters. I suspect that would have been Allen West’s reasoning at the time.
BS
There is a TEXIT petition at https://kylebiedermann.com
Signed it. Thanks for the info.
cut the head off of the snake in WDC. It’s the only way.
Just curious what is your answer then, how do we handle this problem
Primary that RINO. Get a man to do the job. A man with a spine of steel that will tell liberals fo yo hell. A man will nullify the unconstitutional crap coming out of DC.
Definitely agree. Abbott had his chance to toughen his spine and failed. His number is up.
Governor Abbott, and those in his administration, happen to be one of the best in the country.
Crap.
Is that how we ended up with woke greenies heading up the ERCOT, leading to massive power outages, and grandma shivering in the dark? Abbott is a snake. He needs to powerfully prove himself from scratch if he intends to seek reelection.
That was Rick Perry
YEP!
All of the above strategies sound “nice”.
It’s designed to water down our reliable energy with gov subsidized kick back scams.
Kathleen, I used to like Abbott before his Handling of the China virus. He revealed himself to be a pure rino. So far Ken Paxton is doing OK in my book. We’ll see, after what we’ve been through since President Trump started his bid and got elected I don’t trust any politician.
We need someone in Texas who will go for Federal law nullification and push for laws that will allow arrest and imprisonment for any Federal officials trying to harass any Texas citizens.
What we need is a full on security clearance background check on every current politician and future political candidate!
It’s called Candidate Quality Assurance.
Start with Abbot.
We like our governor.
If he wasn’t effective, libtards wouldn’t lie about him, pretending to care about TEXAS.
Lol
I recall Texas liked W as well. I saw him as pretty much a dumbass who at least wasn’t AlGore.
W fooled the whole country.
And he saved TEXAS from ma richards.
So far I am very unhappy with Abbott, but Ken Paxton has done a great job. He took the county Judge in El Paso to court 3 times to get us out of a curfew. The young people were going out to party at night and getting Covid, so the County Judge locked down everyone in their house from 10 PM to 5 AM. Unbelievable! Paxton also took a case to the Supreme Court on voter fraud. After saying Texas had no standing, some people said it was written wrong, etc but the Supreme Court has refused to take any cases so I don’t thing anything was written wrong. We should lead the country in conservative ideas such as no lockdowns, no masks, open business but instead Abbott let other states lead the way. After the electricity disaster in Texas, I think he is done!
So…
The libtards sabotaged our energy. And that’s Abbott’s fault?
My favorite picture of my wife was taken as she stood in a vast field of bluebonnets that were growing on a hillside near Schulenburg more than 40 years ago.
Considering miss isn’t a border state. Different realities dictate the response.
Until we address the facilitators of the invasion.
Teachers unions, social service orgs, the CHURCH, the c.o.c, big tech, big agra,
The media and politicians are tools to be used to achieve the goals.
it’s worse than that. I was shocked.

Ha!
We don’t take advice from chameleons. Thanks.
GAB WAS so anti-Semitic that I had my Pro account deleted as I was horrified by the filth constantly posted there. They are now behaving due to circumstances I suppose. I hope it lasts, but we’ll see. I’m not overly thrilled with Abbott right now over the Covid BS, but I can’t blame him for pointing out the truth about GAB of which I have rejoined (non-Pro) unless they return to the anti-semitism of before at which point I will dump them again.
…THIS MAN IS…..ALLEN WEST…man with spine…
Allen West is trying to jump to the head of the presidential parade..he is a Bush supporter. He ran shrubs nephews failed campaign last go round. Glad he is out of Florida.
BS
Who told ken Paxton to get off his a$$ and do something?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH!!!
Wow.
I guess that’s not a high bar. I’ll take DeSantis over this idiot. He’s ruining Texas one immigrant at a time, one leftist California business at a time…
Really? Really Kathleen03? Ask Governor Abbott WHY he sent an anniversary letter to Xi (celebrating 70th). Abbot is a RINO; he’s a showman. He and others are aware of Fentanol shipping from China to the borders (more so now that JoBama is in office. do your research!!!

He’s turning the state blue.
Since he didn’t falsely blast Gab, I’d need more info and sources on the rest. One untruth in a story makes the rest suspicious to me. It may indeed be true, but…
Is this one of the main reasons then that our country is in such a bad state? God help us if Abbott is one of the BEST! We can do much better than this. I’m guessing that there are folks right here at the CTH that would do a better job than Abbott.
Puh-lese!! Where have you been?
If that’s the best, we’re doomed. I live here and I have to disagree.
When crises arose, Abbott turned blue. He doesn’t deserve to be reelected, let a stronger red/KAG/KTG candidate primary him and get a turn.
go Allen West go !!!!!!!
No Allen West No!!! He is a Bush guy
BS
He is one of the few good guys that got routed out by the RINOS!
Some of those in his admin are very good and should run for his job. But I won’t hold my breath waiting to see that happen either.
When he went after Gab for being “antisemitic” it caught my attention.
Why? It was the truth. He got my attention with the stupid COVID BS, but not for telling the truth about Gab.
Spine of steel?
Is that some kind of dig at a man paralyzed by a spinal injury?
Only libtards would attack a man working hard to improve TEXAS!
Solutions. not Austin talking points.
#TEXIT
The only people he’s working to improve Texas for are Mexicans, Californians, and New Yorkers. He’s sure as hell not doing it for Texans.
Buy a clue.
No one should be allowed to use a tragedy and a handicap to betray his country and that is what Gov. Abbot is doing. He is the Governor and yet he collaborates with the Chinese.

3rd times a charm!
How many times can you post the same libtard propaganda?
All day long it appears. He’s posted it enough that I’m now wondering if he’s not a stinking Demwit.
Halleleujah, Abbott has more than a little blue in him, his response to the Covid disaster has been one of acommodation; and he definitely needs to be primaried. Abbott has proven himself to be an establishment ‘publican. Don’t know who a good primary opponent would be, maybe Dan Patrick since Paxton appears to have other difficulties. Maybe Louie Gohmert should step up.; anyone, like you say, with a spine of steel, otherwise it’s gonna take less time than expected to turn Texas into California.
I think one of our biggest problems is We the People are still waiting for some one, anyone to come and fix our countries problems.
We are hoping and praying that a politician will come along and get things rolling again.
Primary this one and throw out that one and………………….
Until we realize that we need to fix these multiple problems they will not get fixed.
Ain’t it the truth. You nailed it Chloe. It’s up to us…you and me and about 80,000,000 other fed up Americans to get this done. Politicians got us into this perfectly avoidable trap. They won’t be ANY help resolving this and will probably make matters worse. Organize and defy the beast!
Either WE control our southern border or the Mexican narco-terror cartels will.
The cartels already control the Southern Border. The Wall and the Border Patrol was the attempt to wrestle control back. We see how the current administration feel about the situation as a whole. Local and state elected people regardless of party or office need to be vetted for cartel connections. Especially the metros nationwide, the west, and the border states
Money is the life blood of politics and the source of it doesn’t matter to most of the power hungry. The cartels have been buying influence since before Pablo Escobar’s pre-cocaine days.
NAFTA gave the cartels a legit income stream. Bush I and Clinton knew exactly what the endgame was.
They don’t “control” it. They exploit it, but they do not control it.
I live six miles north of Reynosa, Mexico. My family has worked the river as USBP since 1970. We could lock it down in six hours if we wanted. OPERATION HOLD THE LINE proved this in El Paso Sector back in the 1990s. All it takes is the political will to do it.
We control that border. Lax enforcement is our decision, not the cartels’.
?
The great and underrated Ted Knight…
McAllen! I agree. The cartel has a strong presence but they are not in control.
You are SO right Big Jake.
They CONTROL it.
Not 1 of the illegal invaders could cross the border w/o permission from the cartels.
What you said……Correct!!!!!
One cannot serve two masters. Either you serve the people or you serve your sponsors.
Those serving their sponsors on the backs of the people, with the people’s money are especially vile. They must be tossed from office and shunned.
The soap box has not worked. The ballot box has recently been shown to be compromised. As impolite as it is, the choices were narrowed for us. When a man has chosen to harness his wrath for the better, beware, when unleashed, his wrath has an unquenchable thirst.
Prepare accordingly.
“Those serving their sponsors on the backs of the people, with the people’s money are especially vile.”
You have just described today’s $800 billion per year US Military, including the Space Force, almost to perfection.
Why does Maria keep referring weapons as “machine guns?” Looks more and more like she is being manipulated!
Maria is basically no different than any of them. She is manipulated or she wouldn’t be there.
Indeed.
Does she really think that those illegal immigrants have not seen hundreds of soldiers carrying machine guns through the countries that they have crossed? Has she been through an International airport lately or DC?
Yet, our National Guardsmen are deployed in Washington, DC, against American citizens.
We are being invaded at our Southern Border, however, our soldiers surround our Capitol. How is any of that supposed to make sense?
State governors are going to have to step up–sadly 2 states are Democrat (Calif and NM) and 2 are GOP(Az, Texas).
No NG troops from Texas in DC now.
Governor brought them home a while ago.
To do what?
The UNIPARTY NOT screaming their collective heads off should be a clue.
If you are a communist or marxist it is normal to crash the border and to put up fencing to make sure the people do not come and drag you out after the coup. Situation normal move along nothing here.
It’s not, making sense no longer matters.
And so many of the msm talking heads “politely” never bring it up fangdog.
The Pentagon is determined to replace the FBI as the American Peoples greatest enemy.
Criminal illegal aliens allowed into USA is crimminal. Arrest the people letting them in instead and make the criminal aliens take their job. Probably do a better job anyway.
What a looser. Man up Abbott.
So true OLDFISH.
When I first heard of Abbotts “Operation Lone Star” I had a brief flash of hope for the guy but I sure was wrong.
Like all politicians he loves to go on TV and whine about things and talk and fuss and swagger but never fix anything.
I thought he was putting his NG on the border and in the air? What happened to that or did I read that wrong somewhere.
Line the North bank of the Rio Grande with claymores…every 20 feet or so…maybe 4-5 layers deep.
That should hold them for a bit.
Honestly, you only have to shoot *AT* them and they’ll turn around. We used to do exactly that many many decades ago.
True Big Jake but the claymore idea is not bad.
And I co not want to hear any whining about hurting poor illegal civilians from the msm.
How many Americans are robbed, beaten, raped, tortured and killed by illegals every year.
This would be desperate self defense by the legal population.
Abbott is getting desperate. He is likely going to get primaried by Allen West.
Allen West didn’t sit well with RINO headquarters downtown. They gave me his background but I don’t remember the details. When I asked if they had an Abbott alternative they didn’t know of one. I do know Greg has a lot of haters.
….the RINO backhand is one reason to back Col. Allen West.
Go Allen West Go !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He’s earned it
Of course not. Florida RINOs redrew his district so he would lose his House seat.
RINOs don’t like MAGA/Tea Party minorities any more than Democrats.
I always said Trump should have picked West over Judas Pence. Oh well. Governor West works well enough for me.
You need to relook at the Allen West background. He got his soldiers home, that story will be well received in Texas. He is a family man. He was one of the first Tea Party conservatives. I don’t think people hate Greg Abbott, he has not represented Texans the way they want to be represented. He seems to have listened to the leaders of Dallas, Austin, Houston and other democrat cities instead of the people of Texas. He also talked to VP Pence and then the next day we go into lockdown and mask up.
Go West Go !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then LCol. West put a pistol to the head of an Iraqi who intel said had information about an imminent attack against his troops and got the information he was seeking, though the attack was fiction. Reason enough for me to support the man.
ohhhhh good call
Allen west is cut from the same cloth as all the other rinos!
Just hides it better.
Considering you think Abbott is NOT a RINO then I take zero faith in your ability to spot one. Sorry.
Who you working for?
We’ll chose OUR leaders thank you.
BS… Mike in the Van !!!!!!!
?
That is true. Allen West is a Bush guy looking to ride the MAGA horse to victory.
No, he is definitely NOT.
BS.. mikey in the van..
Go ALLEN WEST Go !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow that would be Great!
Maybe the Pentagon could send troops to protect America’s southern border from invasion., but I guess they are much too busy with much more important things like maternity uniforms, Critical Race Theory and trying to smite Tucker Carlson and the First Amendment.
The Pentagon is the biggest group of losers ever. It’s like the Detroit Lions having a kid with the Cleveland Indians with Rosie O’Donnell watching.
The Pentagon: Losing since ’45.
But they’ve done a hell of a job enriching themselves.
Maternity g-suits, pshhh.
Probably doesn’t want to get scalded with hot water again
https://www.chron.com/politics/texas/article/Abbott-suffers-severe-burns-from-scalding-water-8351081.php
This is exactly right. I have several articles saved from this event. I have seen the change.
in 2016, when dallas officers were murdered, this happened a day or two before that event.
Right before Abbott was suppose to speak for PT at the convention.
Then, he was scalded while vacationing in Cheney’s Wyoming.
Somehow he had boiling water poured on his legs?
He didn’t speak at convention.
Ever since, he has been very, very weak.
no it was not hot water… fire camp accident……
no was not a “fire camp accident” (what?) ?
Interesting. I have several articles and all said hot water.
There was never elaboration, after.
It was the timing that caught my attention when it occurred.
Political climate was intense, we needed Abbott’s voice.
Iirc, they were camping, but I believed at the time, nice cabin, ritzy area.
Do you have a link?
is there not one Republican Senator that can really go after the hypocrisy of your Federal Government.
Surrounding you Capital but allowing an invasion of your country.
What Shaw the U.S.A. has become.
Drug trafficking, Child smuggling, likely diseased individuals of multiple nationalities strolling across your border.
Just wait till they start coming across in droves from Canada..
We too have numerous refugees and other undesirables. All of whom are looking for the best “ Welfare Deal”
The talk here is just walk over the border and give yourself up.
At low ebb we can walk across a bay, and into Washington State.
We will see but things are heating up.
should read what a Sham..
God bless PDJT
And so many here just talk about trying to primary Abbott while over A HUNDRED THOUSAND ILLEGALS HAVE CROSSED THE BORDER in just a few months.
So by the time The Republicans run a primary candidate and then win the general election and……………………….
Maybe just maybe a few years down the road when our country has a been flooded with hard nasty drugs and millions of illegal humans Texas might just maybe have a new governor that will probably be as bad as the old one.
If Texans are lucky, maybe.
Right that is the ticket.
Sure looks like a coordinated effort to tarnish Abbott.
What are they afraid of?
Republican Senators (the so called male type) are devoid of testicles.
Abbott is trying to shift attention away from the black out disaster caused by shifting Texas to wind power. His recent decision to “open” Texas from COVID lockdowns (what leadership given the example Florida SHOULD have provided) and his drama over Biden’s invasion invitation are weak and probably devoid of conviction. Texas is another case where RINOs have gained wildly disproportionate power over the state Republican party.
Yes and those RINOs are preparing to run George P Bush for Governor.
I can’t go for that, no, no can do.
If they even try to run George P. Bush is will be laughable. The Bush name is not what it used to be in Texas. George P. Bush created his own problems when he thought that he would give a foreign (out of Texas) company the right to run the Alamo.
https://www.texasmonthly.com/politics/alamo-george-p-bush/
Pulease clap.
Abbott theoretically opened Texas. It’s hard to tell because he said any business that wanted to stay locked down with masks could do so. So most businesses have liberal roots. Ergo, Texas is not open.
Bingo. You win the internet today, Annie.
I don’t wear a mask any way. F ’em.
So true Texannie, Texas is in great shape.
I just watched a video of a female senior citizen being thrown to the ground and arrested in Galveston for not wearing a mask while quietly and politely trying to take her own money out of a bank.
Texas is a real Paradise and a haven for free people./s
That was perry.
Isn’t he the Governor of Texas? Why doesn’t he stop it vs complaining about it as if he didn’t have power nor the means to do so.
Agree wholeheartedly. He has the power and the means. Apparently he lacks the will.
Illegal entry into our country is a federal matter, not a state matter. State and local LEOs can enforce state laws, but not federal. Texas DPS have speed boats they use to take turns with CBP to patrol the Rio Grande. From what I can tell, DPS turns back the crossers. CBP hoists them up into their boats and brings them onto Texas land. The coyotes usually do not lead people into the water when DPS is around.
This garbage has been going on for decades. Houston pretty much has been a sanctuary city for a long time. The excuse we citizens (when I lived there) used to get was that there would be a loss of trust if ICE enforced the law. Victims of serious crime and witnesses would clam up and not help law enforcement in their efforts to take out really bad guys and predators.
Enforce the law at the border and beyond. That way you don’t have to worry about such things.
Research OPERATION HOLD THE LINE.
The sad irony is that Chief Reyes later was elected to Congress as a Dim. Sad.
There are some places where you have to run as a member of the dominant party if you want to win. We have some office holders in this neck of the woods who are lifelong Democrats from families of generational Democrats who were only able to win because they ran as Republicans.
Doesn’t matter. I know Chief Reyes personally and he was largely assimilated by the Dim left. It was sad to see because he was a great Chief Border Partol Agent in his day.
Chief Sylvester Reyes lost his seat in the House because of Beto O’Rouke. He changed El Paso to become a safe city, cars were stolen when you were shopping for groceries, houses were broken into,( our house at two different locations was broken into), anything is your yard was stolen, it was terrible. After Hold the Line and him getting the El Paso fence built everything changed. El Paso is democrat, but low voter turn out especially in the primaries. Beto O’Rourke went to the house of Republicans that always voted in the primary. I know because he rang my doorbell. He talked to me for about 20 minutes. He was a businessman, against Obama care, etc, etc. If I wanted positive change I would need to cross to the Dem. side in the primary and vote for him because he had voters but not enough to win the primary with just democrat voters. I told him” no” but many Republicans did do that and that is why he won the primary. He put the leg work in and talked a good talk and that is what happened to Chief Reyes.
I disagree, if the Federal government won’t do there job then the 9th and 10th amendment kicks in by definition.
But then the Constitution was written for those that follow the bible. Its insufficient to govern any other.
The take care clause in Article II, Section 3 of the US Constitution should kick in and kick out Biden.
Protecting the health of the states citizens is a matter for the governor and there are many ways for these governors to go around the “immigration legal and illegal is a federal matter not a state matter”.
If they wanted to.
Texas governor has the authority to call forth the state military forces and the reserve militia to repel invasion.

Would the Texas guard help people through the fence in washington if we all showed up?
If not, then why are they allowing invaders to cross the border. Are they arresting the convicted criminals or turning them loose like the feds? abbott sure knows how to spread Texas fertilizer.
Exactly!
Isn’t He the Govenor of Texas?
Well, He definitely plays one on “TV”.
I’m in NM…..we in the border states are growing increasingly fearful—-cartels operating now in our states, gangs, covid, more crime, more drugs. In a short amount of time, this could be explosive.
Sadly an explosion is what it will take.
Your “ leaders” sans PDJT are all sheep allowing their people to be slowly slaughtered.
How many thousands of innocent Americans have been killed by illegals over the last few decades.
How many more via Chinese sourced, Cartel smuggled Fentynal
You touched on one of the motivations of why our Mexican border has been reopened.
It’s because our Chinese paid for President and Chinese Democrat Party want to benefit the Chinese producers of opium.
The drugs go from China to Mexico to the USA.
EVERY move Beijing Biden makes is to benefit China.
When you get that in your head it all makes sense.
He ain’t called cocaine mitch for nothing and he ain’t a democrat.
Millions Dekester, millions have been killed and millions more have been robbed, tortured, beaten and raped.
I am more than astonished at the huge amounts of fentynal, heroin and cocaine that comes across the border every day.
It really is a wonder that we are not all dead.
Quit voting in all liberals would be a start for NM.
Voting in liberals?
We have no idea how NM voted, to be honest.
I will no longer blame the voters. Ever.
We sure as heck didn’t vote Biden in to office.
I know Biden voters.
Some of them are my friends.
I wish I could find a reason not to blame them.
I warned them ….
Sometimes that’s all we can do…
Neither will I lolli.
Stop blaming the voters elections have been rigged for decades.
Exactly.
It is not their fault. Biden voters lost. We won. So, how is it anyone but our corrupt gov fault?
They have fraudently created blue cities to use as scapegoats to fraudently push through globalist agendas.
Then gaslight us by telling us we need to be “compassionate conservatives” to win any more elections.
Pushing us further and further to the left.
For decades.
Remember during the Kenyan years, we were reminded by Fox News even if we didn’t approve of BO, we had to respect the office. So saintly.
Does anyone really think he won his second term?
How often did they say that during PT’s 4 years? I don’t know, I quit watching them, nov., 2012.
“Biden voters lost”
wrong…
President Joe Biden WON is making his voters happy….
1. Revoking the Keystone XL Pipeline
2. Ending Migration Controls..border crossers being released into the U.S. interior
3. Pledge to Get Back into the World Health Organization (W.H.O.)
4. Rejoining the Paris Climate Accord
5. Halting Deportations for Most Illegal Aliens
When it comes to destroying the lives of people the Biden voters have a lot of power.
Biden voters should be held accountable.
Biden voters want cheating.
Its the only way they can win.
I’m not fearful in deep south Texas. We still have the Castle Doctrine and the cartels know this.
In El Paso, the Border Patrol catches them and then they are detained or bussed out. You don’t see them walking the streets or shopping. In other words they are coming to a neighborhood near you, they don’t stay on the border. Sometimes they are flown out.
Very true Soaplady.
The cartel war lords seem to be moving farther and farther into America.
When you realize that the mexican cartels are operated by the criminal LGBTQWERTY in Mexico, human trafficking and drug running makes perfect sense. We would not have a problem with the former in the USA without complicity from the criminal LGBTQWERTY in the US government and the private sector.
We will have four years of illegal aliens coming into the USA via the southern border. Nothing or no one will stop this. We should place our bets now on what the final total will be. Turning Texas blue is probably one of the reasons Biden and company is allowing this.
BINGO.
Legal *AND* illegal immigration is all about turning red states blue. Has been this way since INA 1965 was passed.
Texas has gone from R+25 under Reagan to R+5 under Trump. Trump was the only one even remotely interested in stopping this trend and now he’s gone.
We’re screwed.
Fellow native S Texan here. ??
TBH, I have more fear of our alphabet agencies than any of the invaders.
But, Abbott is still a pos. and this is destroying my beloved state.
Well, then you haven’t lived my experience. Once we are fully invaded the alphabet agencies become superfluous any way. You then get corruption Mexico-style.
Brig Marmalejo was around long before the alphabet soup turned tyrannical. Never forget it.
Oh, and your assessmet of Abbott is spot on.
Assessment.
Ya, I know, you are correct. I was only slightly exaggerating.
Every Governor should be demanding how many of these “migrants” are coming into their own states, and how many of those have tested positive for Chinaflu.
Remember, these foreigners aren’t staying in Texas – they are infiltrating the entire country. We have our own serious problems – trillions in debt, severe supply chain issues, gas and food prices rising, homelessness, unemployment.
Many of them ARE staying in Texas. We are taking the brunt of it by design.
Did he blame gab?
That is another thing Abbott has done that I can not believe. What is wrong with him? Does he want to decide what is okay for Free Speech in Texas? He must have gotten bad advice from someone and did not check out GAB. 800,000 Texans are on Gab or so the CEO of Gab said.
Nuts. It is bizarre to say the least.
So, someone called in a marker, IMO.
Biden ought to be arrested for how his policies destroyed what was a secure border.
They aren’t even taking their temperature. It’s Criminal.
Why do they not simply fly all these illegals to Washington State and “dump” them at Capitol Hill and tell Congress to sort out this problem of their making?
You mean Washington, D.C.
That’s what I would DEARLY LOVE to see – ILLEGALS – all of them – sent to DC.
Drop them in front of the White House, the Supreme Court, and Nancy’s (gag) “Temple”.
Will the National Guard be ordered to Welcome them with open arms? No doubt.
We Deplorable White Supremacist types though – not so much.
As the last 5 years have shown through innumerable examples, media power (social and traditional) > all other power.
Gab is currently the best pushback against the communist vice grip on media. Abbott’s mendacious attacks on Gab tell us everything we need to know about him.
Abbot sends mixed messages and is a squish. DeSantis in Florida is handling the situation correctly. Abbot rescinded the statewide mask mandate but left it up to each community and business as to whether they want to continue it, so naturally all the Leftists are keeping it in place. A 65 year old woman in Austin was tackled and beaten by a police officer and arrested and had to be taken to the hospital on her way to jail for refusing to wear a mask in a Bank of America. She simply wanted to close out her account.
She could not drive thru the drive-thru because she was pulling a trailer, so she went inside where she was refused service without a mask. They called the police, and the police officer beat her and tackled her and arrested her.
Abbot needs to get this sort of thuggery under control.
Yes he does, but unlikely won’t. You are right! Texas is for all intents and purposes, still locked down with masks firmly in place.
I’ll differ a little on this…restaurants in many areas have removed their mask signs…if anything it is the MEDIA that continues to spread fear and many people still wear masks out of this fear into restaurants/establishments. Their fear is based upon declining numbers. It is obvious the Media is in the Dims pocket.
It’s the shoppers/customers that have succumbed to the lefty media onslaught.
I see this declining over the next few weeks and economically these stores/establishments will probably open sans masks.
Good thing. With all these infected invaders everywhere.
More DeSantis …. kissing. Were ro you people come from? Reply, and I’ll post examples all day. Ron is the worst RINO of all.
Texas as well as every red state needs to stop recognizing federal laws pertaining to immigration. Abbott needs to send these people back en masse. All border states should do the same, we the people of other states have a financial obligation to any border state that fights illegal immigration.
We here in Texas liberalized midwife laws a few years ago making it easier to backdate and falsify birth certificates for illegals.
Just saying….
It’s more than that. They need to give legal immunity to any business that opens without restrictions.
You know the same immunity they give to those injecting experimental pathogen generators.
I will not vote for Abbott. This is too little too late nonsense from a Bushie-like RINO.
I’m done.
WHAT ROSS PEROT GOT RIGHT ABOUT AMERICA
Perot, who ran the most successful third-party presidential campaign in 80 years, stayed independent-minded until the end. To flout prevailing opinion carries a high price, and he endured a lot of abuse for standing alone. But Perot looks a good deal better in hindsight than many of his critics.
JULY 9, 2019
https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2019/07/what-ross-perot-got-right-about-america
To read some of the coverage of Perot from that year is to be reminded of how much the U.S. press detests populism in any form, no matter who’s peddling it. The New Yorker and the New York Times and numerous other publications signaled their distaste and alarm, and one could read comparisons between Perot and figures like Péron and Mussolini. “Perot is the closest American approximation of fascism ever to have a real shot at the Oval Office,” warned the New Republic. It’s no wonder that Perot, whatever dictatorial streaks he might have had, was taken aback by the vehemence of opposition he triggered.
The heart of the Perot message concerned deficits, a central focus of the 1990s. Whether we were deluded back then, when it was fashionable to care about balanced budgets, or are deluded now, when it’s fashionable to be unconcerned about them, deficits no longer take center stage when it comes to people’s concerns. But Perot’s message about the middle class getting squeezed and ignored resonated as much then as it did 24 years later, and his stances on trade and war were, in the eyes of many, vindicated to a large degree in the decades that followed. Perot opposed the North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA, warning of a loss of U.S. manufacturing jobs to outsourcing. He also disagreed with the decision to go to war with Iraq under George H.W. Bush, even though it had proved to be a popular course of action. Trade and war were two of Trump’s major heresies when he took on the establishment of Republicans and Democrats.
To flout prevailing opinion carries a high price, and Perot endured a lot of abuse for standing alone. When Perot went toe-to-toe with Al Gore in a debate over NAFTA, in 1993, he argued that it would cause a lot of U.S. jobs to be sent to Mexico, with large trade deficits to boot, and would hurt both sides. Gore fired back with arguments that have been used many times since against the outlier: that the experts know better and that dissenters are fools or demagogues. Perot was defying “every living Nobel Prize winner in economics, conservatives, liberals, everyone in between,” Gore said. He was “attempting to bring out the politics of fear.” And, what’s more, the United States was finally running a trade surplus with Mexico, and NAFTA would “by removing those barriers, greatly accelerate” that trend. The next day, almost every media outlet declared Gore the runaway victor and Perot the big loser.
But Perot looks a good deal better today than many of his critics and opponents.
If Biden were strategic, he would at least pretend to maintain the border and enforce immigration law, to give cover to Congress as it considered his amnesty and legalization. I’d say they’re the gang that can’t shoot straight, but they managed to worm their way into office. Did they do the equivalent of what Claudius did in Hamlet to achieve power? Hard to say, but even Claudius knew enough to maintain a strong watch on the border: https://abardseyeview.com/sharked-up-a-list-of-lawless-resolutes-hamlet-fortinbras-biden-and-the-border/
If I ran TX, I’d deputize all property owners on border. Shoot first and ask questions later. IMO.
Please don’t deputize the butterfly lady. She was one of the biggest opponents of the wall.

We need to bring our money and our guard back from the Federal government and take care of border security and transportation ourselves. The States have the right to bring back their powers and nullify Federal government orders that violate the Constitution. It is the States who need to step up and take back control.
Hmmm…..all classes of 3rd world legal/illegal aliens entering the US are calculated by the left to be eventual Democrat voters.
The Democrats/ Uniparty want to dispense with this risky ballot fraud stuff.
A natural permanent majority for them is coming along nicely.
Reminder that Texas Senator John Cornyn voted Yes on Merrick Garland for Attorney General.
The mackerelmouth Alaska senator is much worse.
Florida GOPe Senator Rick Scott went to Mar-a-Lago to ask President Trump to support RINO Lisa Murkowski.
President Trump reportedly would not budge on opposing the turncoat Murkowski.
Good, she needs to go, stand firm Pres Trump!
Scratch Scott. I judge people by the company they keep.
Why would anti-Trump Scott go down to Mar-a-Lago to ask Trump to back anti-Trump Murkowski? Wouldn’t it make more sense Scott went down there to ask Trump to borrow his lawnmower?
Scott is the new chairman of the committee tasked to re-elect GOP senate incumbents.
Ok both of them are out.
Apparently Rick Scott is an idiot – of all the RHINOs, Murkowski might be the worst.
Additionally, she’s not too bright.
Wild eyed Rick Scott is owned by big Biz. A very dangerous out of control narcissist who has delusions of grandeur. He was a disaster for Florida as Gov and is a true sewer rat as a Senator.
Every Texan should know that! It is time to clean house in Texas. Only true conservatives that have a spine!
“But I think This is Intentional, I Think this is Ideological”

Ya think Ron?
No flies on Ron, sharp as a whip.
I was so disappointed. Gov. Abbot is not the patriot I thought he was. Besides his border mess, he also collaborates with the CCP! As best I know, and correct me if I am wrong, but GAB isn’t “anti-semetic” – twitter is and that’s what Gov. Abbot uses. I don’t use Twitter or Facebook or other media like that. Just awful. Trump was trying to divorce China and Gov. Abbot is courting China.
Gov. Abbott has criticized the platform Gab as “anti-semitic,” he has openly collaborated with the genocidal Chinese Communist Party – even sending letters to “celebrate” the party’s 70th anniversary.
By Natalie Winters
3/11/21
“Anti-semitic platforms like Gab have no place in Texas,” the Texas Governor proclaimed in a Twitter video announcing legislation to tackle the ideology.
Gov. Abbott, however, has met with and praised officials from the genocidal Chinese Communist Party.
In 2017, Governor Abbott met with Chinese Consul General in Houston Li Qiangmin, Madam Zeng Hongyan, Deputy Consul General Liu Hongmei, and Commercial Counselor Zhou Zhencheng.
The officials from the consulate, which was closed by the Trump administration over spying and intellectual property theft fears, “shared views on cooperation between China and Texas in the fields of energy, agriculture and medical care, and cooperation between Chinese cities and Austin on creativity.”
What’s more, Gov. Abbott sent written greetings to an “Embrace China” event, organized by the All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese (AFROC).
The AFROC has been described as a “key” component of the Chinese Communist Party’s United Front efforts, which, according to the U.S. government, aims to “co-opt and neutralize sources of potential opposition to the policies and authority of its ruling Chinese Communist Party” and “influence overseas Chinese communities, foreign governments, and other actors to take actions or adopt positions supportive of Beijing’s preferred policies.”
The Chinese Communist Party has described the AFROC as a “bridge and a bond for the party and government to connect with overseas Chinese compatriots.”
Governor Abbott “also sent written greetings to the art show that celebrates the 70th anniversary” of the Chinese Communist Party taking control of China.
Similarly, Governor Abbott sent a congratulatory letter to a U.S.-China Innovation and Investment Summit, which similarly counted participation from Consul General Li Qiangmin.
Minister Counselor Chen Futao of the Chinese Embassy in the United States and Vice Consul Wang Yu and Liu Hongmei of the Chinese Consulate in Houston were also in attendance.

Very disheartening….
4th times a charm.
Do they pay you?
Excuse me but can you explain that reply?
No one is paying me, I am happily married with grown kids and retired.
I value truth and spread it.
Anyone paying attention knew this was going to happen. Last years Democrat debates, every single Democrat raised their hand affirming they would give Free Healthcare to illegal aliens.
if you want a border crisis, just offer free healthcare, free handouts, and covid checks to non-citizens. That’s what Democrats did, and here we are.
Abbott knows Biden isn’t going to do anything about this. Everything will be in Crisis mode with Democrats in charge.
Abbott blocked hydroxychloroquine for Big Pharma, closed Main Street businesses and backed Soros-style contact tracing surveillance.
His attack on Gab seemed like it was out of the blue, but it wasn’t. Abbott has a Twitter account he’s used for years, alongside the Ayatollah and Louis Farrakhan. Have you ever heard him call Twitter an “Anti-Semitic platform”?
Abbott was given an assignment: to smear Gab for the Uni-Party. They want it crushed to stop MAGA and especially to prevent it from being used by the Actual President.
Gov. Abbott is controlled opposition. There are many snakes in the garden.
I spoke at the Aug 15, 2016 secretary of state hearing on Hart InterCivic and ES&S vote rigging machines, where hundreds of pages of evidence was presented. RINO claims of rejecting Dominion ignore the fact that Hart ans ES&S operate on Dominion owned Optech vote rigging software.

someone square me away on these numbers?
“So far this year there have been 110,000 apprehensions”..?

GOD BLESS AMERICA
I wonder how many of those 100k+ “apprehensions” were actually immigrants who sought out border patrol personnel in order to turn themselves in and ask for asylum. Biden’s (Obama’s) people are said to have put the word out that there would be a 100-day window of opportunity for border jumpers to get preferential treatment.
Apprehensions= pick them up, give them water and food , carry them to the bus station and get them a ticket
Greg Grabbit is sounding the rah! rah ! chant. If he thought for one moment that he could be elected/relected by promting the left, he would. He’s not gonna be accused of ever having a single real MAGA bone in his body.
Gov. Abbott touted that he was once the Texas AG
–and knows the law(s)…
And then as governor,
he filed several law suits during the Obamboozler administration… and won.
Well then, (ahem)
As Governor it would seem that he can and should secure his State’s boarder. No?
~~~~~~~~~~~~
How is it that a city and or a state can deem itself “sanctuary” to illegal immigrants
~>in spite of Federal Immigration Laws???
While at the same time, states fail to claim sovereignty on behalf of its Citizens and in accordance with the State’s Constitution and the US Constitution?
Abbott had a number of large moneyed Dallas donors behind him and those people were for him as a future presidential candidate.
Unfortunately, the Covid garbage has exposed him as a finger in the air typical politician, trying to please both sides while making squish Covid decisions based upon inflated or exaggerated numbers out of lefty Dallas, Travis and Harris Counties.
The money will desert him…opening up too late…his 15 minutes of fame is about up.
Is it time for Hannity to have him on his show, talk for him and then talk about the issue at large? Hannity is an apologist for RINOS. He’s too dumb to see who the RINOS are.
Sniffer Joe. One of the world’s biggest human trafficking enablers.
Sound like a state emergency. Why doesn’t the governor declare a state of emergency and shut the Texas border along the Mexican side? If the federal government doesn’t do it’s job then the governor has to protect the citizens of Texas.
Any fellow Texan that agrees with Texit can sign the petition at https://https://kylebiedermann.com/
Don ‘t know why I got double https://kylebiedermann.com/
Why doesn’t he declare a state of emergency and simply shut the border down between Mex and Texas? The feds are obviously not their job so the governor had to step up and shut it down.
The amt of trolls in this comment section is like reading at Breitbart.
This Texan won’t be voting for him again. SICK of liars.
Abbott maligned GAB. It is time Texas made him accountable for serial liberal behaviors.
The liberals in Houston and Austin don’t like Abbott which makes him an OK guy in my book.
