According to The Boston Globe, officials in Martha’s Vineyard are holding an emergency meeting to deal with the crisis of 43 illegal alien arrivals, including one four-year-old child. The group arrived via a chartered flight dispatched by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
According to state representative Dylan Fernandes, “when you look at the limited housing options on Martha’s Vineyard, as I’m sure many of the folks here are aware, it’s likely we’re going to need an off island location.” As noted by the Globe …”a Zoom meeting has been scheduled for emergency management officials from the island along with people from the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency to discuss the next step for the immigrants.”
(Boston Globe) […] Fernandes also strongly condemned DeSantis and Governor Greg Abbott of Texas for sending the migrants to the Vineyard.
“To use women and children as political pawns is cowardice. Governor DeSantis is a coward,” Fernandes said. “Their communication on this, Governor DeSantis’s on this, was to jump on Fox News and beat his chest about how tough he is on immigration. It’s inhumane. It’s depraved.”
DeSantis defended the move in remarks to reporters on Thursday during a briefing at Northwest Florida State College.
“Every community in America should be sharing in the burdens. It shouldn’t all fall on a handful of red states,” he said. Other states “don’t like it as much when you get just a small, small, small amount compared to what these folks have dealt with in Texas and in other states.”
Florida’s message, DeSantis said, is that it’s not “a sanctuary state.”
“Now what would be the best is for Biden to do his damn job and secure the border,” he said.
Susan Church, a prominent immigration lawyer based in Cambridge, said a team of attorneys in Massachusetts is working with advocacy groups including the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights and Economic Justice to interview the migrants and determine whether they’d be eligible for victims of crimes visas, based on reports they were coaxed into getting on a plane under the pretext that their paperwork would be expedited.
“They were duped in to getting on to the plane,” said Church, former chair of the New England Chapter of American Immigration Lawyers Association. “This is akin to kidnapping.” (read more)
While the apoplexy and pearl-clutching from the condescending and sanctimonious democrats is political fuel for ridicule, at the end of the day these transports of illegal economic migrants, illegal aliens, is not a solution.
Desperate times do call for desperate measures, and we desperately need to see the southern border secured, immediately. If the transports lead to backlash from Democrat officials and politicians, and that hypocrisy leads to facing the reality of the border crisis created by Joe Biden, then perhaps something positive can come from this approach.
I find myself torn between seeing this as a political gimmick yet understanding that some shift in the national narrative is needed. If this approach delivers that shift, if more people wake up to the border crisis, then something positive could be gained. However, at the end of the day these unlawful migrants are people.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis answers questions earlier today:
This should just be the beginning. A tiny preview of coming attractions. Exposure of the utter hypocrisy of the ‘compassionate left.’
The other cost to the “enemy states” is the fact that their tax money laundering will be affected as they are forced to use more of that money to rid themselves of the cross-border smellies they pretend to love.
“They are taking up all of our resources!” BS. They have tons of resources in the most tax-heavy places in the country. It just cuts deeper into THEIR shares of the take.
Some of the most affluent, successful people I have worked for have long pockets on account of short arms. Eddie Murphy taught me that the one thing that scares rich people the most is the thought of being poor when I saw “Trading Places” on Hbo in 1986.
Sundance your picture for the headline is so perfect.
Let em caravan on over to Buraq’s Vinyard.
on to martha’s vinyard !!!
and cape cod !!!
and nantucket !!!
and boston !!!
and harvard !!!
and every ‘sanctuary’ state and city !!!
Stop off at Carly Simon’s place, please.
That is so kewl.
Big Mike should be THRILLED! Now she can get her lawns cut, and hedges trimmed for HALF PRICE!!!
Excuse me but what country’s flags are those people flying? Certainly not ours. One might think they would be grateful enough to fly our flag but – no. They are so arrogant and ungrateful they fly their own country’s flags. It’s insulting enough they break into our country but this is the thing I cannot abide.
Exactly. Not seeking refuge from bad stuff. No way seeking American citizenship. This is an open, in-our-faces invasion.
What does it take to realize that? There’s nothing humane about what they’re doing. There’s nothing humane about allowing it and feeling sorry and guilty about “all those poor people.” It’s a farce. It’s immoral. It’s an invasion by foreign forces on our own soil, aided and abetted by the traitors making up the “U.S. government” and all their state and local lackeys.
If we would repel a home invasion of our own private property and threats to our own family on our own private property, WHY do we see this “compassionate invasion” as “humane”?!
Our northern and southern borders, and our coasts, are our walls to keep out criminal invaders. There is no difference between the “small scale” individual’s private property and our country’s — OUR people’s! — fences, gates, walls, windows, and doors!
None of us privately invited any of these people into our homes. Not even those evil hypocrites presuming to make our decisions for us PERSONALLY invited any of these home invaders into THEIR homes.
When Judas Iscariot rebuked Jesus for allowing an expensive bottle of fine, rare perfume to be used to wash His dirty feet, that the money could have been spent to give to the poor, He rebuked Judas back: “The poor you will always have with you. She has chosen to honor Me. Let her alone.”
Even Jesus is not so stupidly “compassionate” as our evil overlords. Why is this GODLY practicality so hard for we who claim to belong to and follow Him to see? Why do we pretend we are more compassionate than Him?
Are you familiar with His parable of the wedding feast? The guy who came in clad in his own clothes was summarily tossed out on his rear end for insulting the Master for “doing it his way” instead of changing into the wedding clothes provided by the Master of the house. Think there’s a lesson there?
Jesus never tells us to be stupid. He tells us over and over again to discern between Truth and the lies of our enemy, outwardly, seemingly clothed in Truth, but twisting it.
There is a bright line between Truth and lies. And we are admonished to observe it faithfully, not to blur it for the sake of misplaced “compassion.”
He created each of us because He first loved us. But there will come a day of terrible reckoning, where He will separate those who loved Him back from those who pretended to. Those who do not love Him He will give their choice, forever, where there will be unremitting darkness and misery. Coulda, woulda, shoulda. Too late.
There is nothing biblical or “compassionate” about allowing criminal invaders in your home or our country.
And the left communistic ‘WHAT IS GOOD FOR THEE IS NOT GOOD FOR ME” dogma
And none of them are coming to work or contribute MoPar.
Many of them are sick and lots are already convicted criminals in their own countries.
“Oh! Fireworks! Lovely! Ha Ha Ha Ha!”
What, the rich elite liberals on Martha’s Vineyard are prejudice against Hispanics? WOW! Seems they have been lying about equal opportunity for all.
Wouldn’t it just be easier to bus them to Obama’s multi-million dollar beach compound. Should be lot of room there.
They sure as hell have been lying about their willingness to open their hearts and doors and welcome the unfortunate.
Sanctuary state is…as sanctuary state does 🙂
Not exactly sure what that means…
But it had a good ring to it.
Since you are The Wordman … you should know that “Sanctuary City” is defined as “Lawless City”. An American City that DARES The Federal Govt. to enforce Immigration Law. Just Dares their asses.
I know what ‘Sanctuary Cities’ are 🙂
To clarify…I was just commenting on my wordplay off ‘Stupid is as stupid does’.
In the Bible, Sanctuary City has a different meaning. Something the demonrats took and twisted for their own wicked agenda.
Does this mean Michelle will move out of the neighborhood?
Keep sending them to all these quaint communities, you include S Glens Falls where my husband’s family lives. Most of his family thinks we are mean Trump racist because we want controlled immigration. I visited back in 2017 and the place had’nt changed in years.
My husband and I just visited hometown in S Florida and the place is unrecognizable, it has become Little Haiti. We live in N. Florida and I can see it happening here, went to Publix in Vilano Beach was full of folks from either Central or South America. Let these liberal snobs see how it feels when your community is over run by people who do not speak the language and need to be housed and educated.
“Housed and educated” on your dime!!!
they do not “need to be housed and educated”….because the cowards making the decisions choose to not follow the law they CHOOSE to house and feed them here in country instead of deporting them back to their country of record as the law allows
housed and “mis-educated”.
I’m sure there will be no study of the Constitution, in “english’…
My local Home Depot and Costco are located in Concord CA … which now resembles Tijuana. And is LITERALLY getting very dangerous to visit. Very dangerous. Now I have to drive further to Danville/San Ramon so I can shop safely.
I am no longer surprised how illegals can tear a place up and can give the whole town the south of the border atmosphere Kenji.
Nothing works when they move in.
The plumbing, the sewers, the infrastructure begins to fall apart and every thing is destroyed.
I have watched this happen in Southern Arizona and California for over forty years now in every neighborhood that the illegals move into it is just amazing.
It is not racism, there were many Hispanic neighborhoods in our country when I was growing up that were lovely and safe.
The Mexican families that lived there decades ago, were legal immigrants.
They cared for their homes and their families and the neighborhoods were safe and secure and the homes and the children were well cared for.
Lovely yards with grass and flowers and the homes were repaired, no trash or garbage in the streets.
Then along came the drug cartels and the illegals from Mexico and everything changed.
Now it is filth and violence everywhere and the cartels control these neighborhoods.
Housed so that by their very numbers they take housing away from true citizens. See it happening all the time. Non-citizens get housing help so that they can afford housing whereas citizens don’t get housing assistance and are left hussling to find a place to rent. Retired farmers cannot find places to rent because what is available is taken over by non-citizens.
They might be people but I’m not going to get all tangled up in emotions.
It is not my responsibility to take care of the world.
These people need to all be sent back to their country of origin and they need to handle their reproductive issues and poverty there. They need to be fighting their government to clean up the corruption.
They have to be responsible for themselves and their lives…not counting on us to take care of them so they can perpetuate their ill gotten problems .
Essentially, their problems are not mine and I refuse to participate in this ruse.
Democrat policies and a communist from Cuba running DHS………What a joke.
The root of the issue is corrupt governments.
“These people need to all be sent back to their country of origin and they need to handle their reproductive issues and poverty there. ”
It would seem that jObama agrees with you
😉

Anyone who vacations in Mexico knows why that clip is so funny. BECAUSE IT IS TRUE! My wife and I have requested a table change when the Mariachis start yelping in our faces.
How about we start assigning them to certain houses in Northern Va? Senators, including GOP.
Yep start dumping them in McLean and Potomac. Just let them off on Georgetown Pike.
Hahahaha ha ha … beautiful! Evidently, those NY and Hollywood Jews aren’t quite as tolerant as their yard signs indicate. No, I’m not an anti-Semite … it’s a joke … just a JOKE. Just like the video
I’d love to send them to Beverly Hills and Bel Air, but LA is so vast, they’d just get kicked out into the homeless tent cities downtown.
It amazing how these Shysters and advocacy groups are trying to paint bringing these law breaking illegals on a PJ flight to the precious Martha vineyard as a crime.
Now ships or large boats should be packed with some of the hundreds of thousands a month flooding into this country and dumped on the shore at Osama’s place
“limited housing options”? There’s a guy down in West Tisbury who has plenty of room. He’ll even put up tents if it’s important enough.
It’s only fair. As Biden’s Acting Brain, this is all his doing anyway.
And … those were “safe” tents as I recall. A perfect environment for these untested COVID carriers. They can all mask-up and socially distance dance together under the Big Top.
Maybe he figured that due to the employee crisis they were short of nannies and drug dealers, and he was doing them a favor..
The pied piper has plenty of room.
Yo mama didn’t want you , Barack.
Hold on a second. I see that there are currently eighteen (18) vacant lots available on Martha’s Vineyard. Why can’t they throw together some adequate housing and domicile these poor unfortunate immigrants on those? I don’t think they are showing the proper commitment to the problem. https://www.propertyshark.com/homes/US/Land-For-Sale/MA/Martha-s-Vineyard.html
For the same reason I object to the name Olive Garden, I object to calling it Martha’s Vineyard.
A few high rises would make room for thousands. I’m sure the immigrants would enjoy mingling with the residents and learning all about the culture.
That is exactly what is happening in the People’s Republic of California. Hundreds of these prisons, I mean apartment buildings are going up everywhere you look and have been for several years. I have told people these are for illegals and refugees. Please don’t try to tell me that people are moving here from all over the country. Nobody can AFFORD to move to California unless they are rich already.
Same thing in Sioux Falls S. Dak. Apartment buildings going up everywhere. I often wonder where these people are finding jobs?
Good point. Obviously, Martha’s Vineyard is not in compliance with Obama’s affordable housing mandate.
Gov. Abbott, please send some flights to Nantucket & The Hamptons and a few busloads to Aspen, CO., Westport, CT., Wellesley, MA. and Potomac, MD. These are some of the richest cities in America so they should be able to afford to feed, house, educate and provide medical for a few thousand illegal immigrants with no problem! Or maybe they have some job openings they can fill…
And we shouldn’t leave Silicon Valley out. Atherton would be a good destination.
Please don’t forget Boulder, which has both CU and the actual home of govPolis. As he’s running for reelection, am sure he’d like to boast about making Colorado a sanctuary state
As to their personhood: Yes they are,but vast majority are adults, not children, to be cared for as if they are.
More Twisted Pretzel “Logic” from the Left:
“The Border is SECURE! >>> But there’s still more work to be done”
Sorry, Idiots, you get to choose ONE:
1) Border is Secure
OR
2) There’s still work to be done.

Airport on MV can’t handle the larger passenger jets. They are equipped to handle jets such as A220, EMJ-175 etc which carry up to ~ 150 passengers maximum.
The 328’s should hold at least 30 per plane so 60 for those two. The biggest I note regularly into MVY are Jet Blue E190’s which seat about 100. The runway will take larger but demand apparently isn’t there. Plenty of room for C17’s though and they proved how many they could pack in with all the refugees coming out of Afghanistan. Doubt we’d get any C17 charters though, heh.
Should have waited for fog. John Kennedy comes to mind.
What a difference a

Martha’s Vineyard needs to check out New Orleans.
The RAT Mayor’s voters, I mean criminals, are committing hundreds of rapes, robberies, murders & carjackings every month … Mayor LaToya “the Destroya” defended – in court- a 14yr old, 5x carjacker of 5 white woman … he got a pat on the back.
As The Toy goes on endless vacations, I mean, business trips, charged to the taxpayers – the City is literally going to hell-in-a-handbasket.
So … the New Orlean’s monied know the Police can’t do anything to stop her voters … and have put up huge metal fences around their Garden Homes and neighborhood areas – with LOTS of armed Security – because they can.
Wonder if they’ll keep voting RAT?

Of course, Sundance. They are people. And this is: human trafficking. Perhaps the most inhumane but also the most lucrative of “crimes against humanity.”
But, it is no accident that the present occupants of DC have done everything in their power to facilitate this human trafficking, and to “import” into this nation millions of people for whom the 13th Amendment will never mean anything at all. Do we really need to say that they are doing it simply because they have found a way to make [even more …] money by doing it? No.
These people are sitting on their beautiful islands, pretending to be “very far away from” what they are doing. It is therefore entirely appropriate to force them to confront what they(!!) are doing to the rest of the nation. Some people will never change their behavior unless they are confronted with the consequence of that behavior. And, these appear to be such “some people.”
Yes, “these human beings must be cared for.” Let the people who have caused this now be confronted with that need to care for them as human beings. Perhaps, it will begin to dawn on some of them that they are “human beings” also.
Let the various NGO’s sponsor them until they are not dependent on public assistance.
Where are the NGO’s when you need em, eh? Ohhhhhhh yeahhhhh … they facilitate travel TO and ACROSS our borders … then they’re done. Then it’s all up to Catholic Charities … and Lutheran Social Services to take Federal Funding to “care” for these noble, peaceful, “refugees”.
No they do not need to be “cared for” they need to be put on the next plane OUT.
I consider myself a compassionate person, sensitive to the needs of the less fortunate, but these people came into our country illegally. Furthermore, where’s the tolerance and caring the elite preach to us(serfs)? They are willfully isolated from reality but have all the answers. Feces, blight and crime is just fine for mainstream America, but not for them! F’em!! It’s war, and we’ve just begun fighting back. Always remember, life is about “skin in the game”. They are experiencing this. Pain must be brought into their sterile circles on a daily basis with increasing intensity. I gather it’s no longer shits and giggles. Let the jug eared Muslim accommodate them. After all, he IS a “community organizer”
Love the last sentence.
If Chris Christie would leave, they could easily fit a dozen more.
Your Slave Masters have some info for you:
I miss him.
Unfortunately, most of even “our” people have no idea who he was and what he was warning us about and actually showing what is being done to us. Way before The Great Reset was even glimmering over the horizon!
I think his America: Freedom to Fascism movie on taxation and what the government is doing and “fun things to come,” can still be found, either on YouTube (though it might have been purged by now), or Bitchute, or Rumble or Odysee, if some alert freedom-lover has diligently posted it. I bought lots of the DVDs and sent them/gave them to family, friends, neighbors back in the mid-2000s. Some had their eyes opened, most, sadly, didn’t. I don’t understand, but . . . [sigh]
Maybe some here will take the time to look it up and spread the word. Or not. [sigh]
Caroline Kennedy owns a huge tract of undeveloped beach front land in the Gay Head section of the island.Perfect for a tent city and then permanent housing for our new arrivals.What karma that would be ! Caroline’s degenerate uncle sponsored the 1965 immigration reform bill that initiated the 3rd worldization of our country.
The Vineyard was a beautiful place once mostly occupied by native born working class people that went downhill once the NY license plates started showing up in numbers.
The obvious solution for these elites is servant quarters.
Taxpayers in school districts across Texas are on the hook for tens of billions of dollars in general obligation bonded debt for school buildings constructed, in part, because of the crowding caused by the influx of illegal immigrant children and children of illegal immigrants.
I would be glad to share the pleasure of local tax increases with my fellow US citizens in blue sanctuary cities.
A thought: Would it be feasible to put some money together for billboards with the Statue of Liberty and something about school taxes? Those billboards should go up at main approaches to sanctuary cities. Help connect the dots with information the virtue signalers might not have considered.
There likely are bond issues coming to many ballots in November. School districts have voter registration for seniors and GOTV efforts whenever there is a bond issue.
Been like that all over the country for decades.
I pulled my kids out of government school in 1990, when our neighborhood grade school started teaching in a turd world language.
Land of Lincoln…………………………Yeah right!
Folks not here legally should not be entitled to federal benefits.
That includes federal aid to schools etc.
If the states and localities want to provide support, fine. It would come back to them on their local budgets and taxes.
LOL Isn’t it cute, the games we play with such serious issues.
Transport the illegals to the Vineyard, to Delaware, to Chicago, or save the money and just help them pitch a tent city at the site of Queen Nancy’s new palatial mansion on the Florida coast. Show the Marxists that we’re calling their bluff! And at the end of the day, millions of illegals are still pouring in and now even red state governors are taking over and facilitating (*wink* *nod*) the Fed’s plan to distribute them all over the country, which gets even die-hard conservatives cheering what they formerly decried.
Does it really sound like we’re winning to you? DeSantis is a fraud…
Winning political battles often begins by awakening the public’s mind to the true source / nature of the problem.
This was done to raise the general population’s consciousness and awareness of the extreme and blatant hypocrisy of the Democrats and all Politically-leftwing Elitists re. their fake compassion for illegal aliens.
The Elitist left’s immediate reaction to these brilliant tactical moves first by Abbott and now by DeSantis is NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard).
L. O. V. E. IT !!!
Send another 1000 DeSantis !!! … demand a welcoming party at the Soros Puppet & Mooch’s house.
They will send all these illegals to western mass, also known as the dumping grounds of Boston.
“Limited housing”?? I’m sure there are PLENTY of unused spare bedrooms in the houses on the island! C’mon lefties, show your island guests some proper hospitality. Matter of fact, since many of the houses are only occupied part-time, why not just GIVE your homes to your guests??
Governors sending illegals to the places where people who voted for open borders live, is the absolute best, most hilarious, satisfying thing I’ve seen happen in awhile. I love our high T governors. Rock on guys!!
Go ahead and call me a sexist! I do not care. I believe God made men with the ability to fight back like no woman ever could and I hope our men keep standin’ up! Yeehah!!
Wait until Kary Lake becomes Arizona’s Governor.
More, this time to the Hamptons.
Do to Martha’s Vineyard what Biden has done to Red towns, and cities near the border, send another dozen plane loads full!
Was not Joe Biden flying illegals to parts of the USA, that were not sanctuary states, without informing the governors or mayors of those destinations? Are not Massachusetts, New York, and California; also Illinois sanctuary states? Did they not invite the illegals to this country? So, what is the problem? They reap what they sow. If the illegals continue to invade, they can prepare for more more plane loads. Their mere dozen or so illegals do not compare with the thousands swarming into the border states.
Not just border states but farther north as well.
“….at the end of the day, these unlawful migrants are people.”
Correct! And when DeSantis does something like this it only proves Sundance’s earlier contentions that DeSantis is nothing more than a RINO.
DeSantis is treating them like people. It’s democats who treat them like farm animals.
A “good” comrade would open up their multi million dollar estates and homes for the illegals.. is would be just and fair.
Wish there was a Give Send Go project to move illegals already dumped in our communities into sanctuary city neighborhoods. . I would contribute.
Steady your nerves and emotions folks. We all need to toughen-up and look at this through the prism of truth and reality. No need to be torn about this one bit. They willingly and deliberatley violated our laws and entered our country ILLEGALLY. We don’t owe them the kit-gloves treatment – just basic humane treatment which they are getting and MORE. If they don’t like being used as pawns they should, go back to where they came from. Keep in mind Democrats brought them here to be used as SLAVES to answer the democrat’s need for cheap slave labor and to add to their corrupt voter roles. How humane is that? Don’t go wimpy on this. Toughen-up.
“However, at the end of the day these unlawful migrants are people.”
To the democrats they are just objects, sometimes useful and sometimes not.
Until the media stops working one side of the political spectrum, then gimmicks like this are THE way to ruthlessly expose them. It’s THEY who don’t really care about migrants.
I don’t care about these people. I just don’t. Why? They ignore our laws and then expect us to take care of them. So, f-them.
And, I hope more planes land with illegals in Martha’s Vineyard.
These people want this until it is staring them in the face. Then “OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!”
Notwithstanding Sundance’s strong opposition to DeSantis, which I am still on the fence about, this absolutely the right approach and stance needed by the GOP governors to send these illegal migrants/immigrants to these so-called sanctuary states and cities. Hopefully, they are sending the worse of the bunch too!
The whole objective of the Left is to turn red states like TX, AZ, GA, and FL into blue states through a wave of illegal immigration and later an amnesty program. The blueprint is California, which prior to Reagan’s 1986 or 87 amnesty was a center-right state and had consistently voted for the GOP, including George Bush senior in 1988. But that would prove to be the last election that CA voted Republican nationally and at the state level it’s gotten even worse, where the GOP can’t virually mount any type of opposition to speak of.
If amnesty is ever pushed again after these waves and waves of immigrants in this country over these past few years, say goodbye to Texas, Arizona, Georgia, and Florida as red states.
So I applaud these governors for sending these immigrants out of their states. They need to do so more frequently and frankly automatically to keep their political power.
A two prong would be nice right now it’s bread and circus. Border needs secured and illegals sent home.
Rapists and thieves are people too. All in the exact same category as illegal, criminal, human, sex and drug traffickers arriving to rape and pillage and demand their “fair share” of what someone else has worked for, exactly the kind of govt dependents dimocrats need to win ‘elections’ and continue to destroy this country by overwhelming our infrastructure & resources and create cries for more govt and more power for leftist mafia as this country falls into chaos. An army of 87,000 new IRS militants will impoverish the middle class to ‘fund’ all this as mission ‘we are the world’ is accomplished.
Paybacks a beeech!

That’s better.
I would humbly suggest Rehobeth Beach DE and Bethany Beach DE… housing is not a problem in the off season. Plenty of vacant homes owned by the DC and North Virginia crowd.
I don’t recall any Dem outrage when Biden secretly flew illegals in the dark of night throughput US cities. Disgusting hypocrites.
There is sympathy and empathy each has a very different meaning that seems to be lost on many.
What could be better than being placed alongside some of the wealthiest people in the country? Those ultra-rich elites have PLENTY of abundance to share with these “poor unfortunate victims of circumstances.”
Only a blatant lying hypocrite would refuse to feed, house, and care for a few dozen poor people who showed up in his/her community when that person has millions or billions of dollars of personal wealth.
There are no humanitarian crisis in our hemisphere. These “unlawful migrants” are actually illegal aliens and should be treated as such.
I had the same reaction as Sundance when Abbott started this. It seemed like a gimmick and I wished he would have declared and invasion and sent troops to the border. But as it has gone on, and now DeSantis is doing it, it is getting a reaction. In case any of their staffers read the comments on this site, Aspen and Malibu would be lovely destinations for new arrivals in this country.
Not securing the border is cowardice and inhumane! It’s about time these blue states get a taste of what Texas and Texans experience on a daily basis, since that demented pile of dung was installed. KUDOS to Governor Abbott and Governor DeSantis!
