My friend just sent me an email from Arkansas.
He was in the military, and in my opinion understands the chess moves being made right now at the expense of – yet again – the American people.
In fact, he said, “Texas is going to be the first battleground.”
I want to remind everyone who has taken up this civil war buzz phrase narrative lately, we are not doing a civil war folks, at least not yet.
A civil war is when states are fighting AGAINST each other.
Not the case here, most states (as in 25+ who are now backing Texas) are joining together to protect the United States of America to keep our freedom.
In other words, standing up against the federal government – and that’s called a REVOLUTION from my history class lessons.
Is Texas and its “fight for the future of America” a big distraction – or the beginning of the unraveling of the United States of America?
Or, on the other side of the coin, is it the unraveling of the globalist agenda?
An agenda that began with the COVID mess and helped wake people up as they watched their freedom being stolen by the powers that were put in office (or not put in office like Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab, George Soros, Anthony Fauci, Black Rock, Vanguard, State Street, the list goes on).
Are we tired of losing our freedom yet?
Are we paying attention to the distractions the media keeps throwing at us?
Are we paying attention to the political gaslighting even as the American people are asking louder and louder when will our government put a stop to the madness?
I do believe 1,000% in what Texas Governor Greg Abbott is doing on this tiny little sliver of the Texas border known as Shelby Park.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said, “We have a federal government that largely not just ignored federal law, not just ignored their constitutional role to protect the state and the country – but are actually participating with cartels bringing people here as fast as they possibly can.
“I do not think we have ever seen anything like this in our country where we have a federal government NOT just not doing their job but affirmatively working with bad people to do bad things to the country.”
Article 4, Section 4 of the Constitution requires our government to protect America from foreign invasion. If the feds do not do it, then the state has that right.
In 2023 alone, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection said roughly 2.5-million migrants were allowed in – and that is a low number and does not count those who came across illegally without stopping to check in first.
It’s been reported on mainstream media that 7 million illegal immigrants have entered since Joe Joe was put in place.
And just so you know, the Washington Examiner reported 736 known or suspected terrorists were apprehended at the U.S. border in 2023.
How many got in unnoticed? And no, don’t tell me those terrorists were fleeing their country for a better life – they were not.
I don’t understand (and I have asked sources at the border) why this piece of Shelby Park/Eagle Pass has become the dynamite zone for an all-out “who’s bigger and badder” in this skirmish.
I can tell you one thing after having worked in Austin and in politics – Abbott is bigger and badder than Joe Joe – and I don’t think he’s going to back down.
I never had a like or dislike for Abbott, but I respect him as a governor.
His approval rating has gone way up with me in a very big way now because he is trying to protect Texas. He’s not in this to win an election or run for president or any of the other ridiculous political moves during an election year.
What I would like to suggest to Abbott is explain to Texans and the American people how he is planning to secure the other 1,254 – minus the miles in Shelby Park – border miles in Texas.
Sure, some is not passable – it’s a rugged borderline we have with Mexico – but the illegal migrants are still getting across down the road a bit and we’re not seeing that in the news, are we?
Instead, we’re seeing the mainstream media narrative they are being told to push.
Why do people always need a hero? Why can’t they be their own hero?
It is always about Biden or Trump or Abbott or anyone people decide to idolize on any given day.
That gives the person all the power – so what happens if that person turns out like many politicians and celebrities, etc. and you are left following that person down a road you don’t want to go or else admitting you were wrong for giving that person all the power in the first place.
Yes, we can admire and hold in high esteem the leaders we put in place to lead us, but do not make them into demigods – because they will surely disappoint.
No, we do not need a hero.
If you want to keep your freedom – STOP GIVING IT AWAY.
And how do we do that? It’s by not going to get jabbed next time because you are offered a free McDonalds hamburger.
It’s by not listening to or paying attention to the mainstream media propaganda.
It’s by doing your research and knowing the truth of what is going on.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen images of war and destruction being aired with a news story – and the images and video are not even from the event being reported.
Why has Biden refused to respond to the State of Texas regarding the invasion – he is certainly NO hero or the US would not still be processing illegal migrant.
Don’t we have enough people in the sanctuary cities already? I mean the mayors of these cities like New York and Chicago are saying loud and clear “there is no room at the inn,” yet Biden (or should I say, DHS secretary Alejandro Mayorkas) keeps letting them in anyway?
When is Mayorkas’ impeachment? Oh yes, it’s still in the works, and not only the Dems decided to vote against Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene’s motion to impeach Mayorkas, but eight House Republicans broke from their party to do the same thing.
Wonder who those Republican/Democrat representative’s lobbyists are because you can be sure most of the time the vote is a vote to get more lobbyist money secured for the next election cycle.
It was a 209-201 vote, so I guess eight Republicans apparently approve of the way Mayorkas is handling the border situation; two from North Carolina, three from California, one from Oregon, one from Colorado, and one from Ohio.
What about those sanctions in Texas? Isn’t this what the U.S. does to other countries when it does not get its way.
Now the Feds are doing it to one of their own by halting exports of liquified natural gas – this amounts to economic warfare.
Oh, yes and there was the idea that Joe Joe was going to federalize the Texas National Guard.
According to Operation Lone Star, it is a coalition of now 25 governors who are standing with Texas. Within the past few days, at least 10 governors have sent troops to Texas.
One constitutional law expert/former active-duty Navy JAG said, “Congress should determine if such a move (federalizing the Texas National Guard) would constitute an impeachable offense for Biden.”
Another state at the southern border putting on its big people pants to stop the madness – Arizona passed Senate Bill 1231 making it a state crime to enter the state from Mexico unless it is through a legal port of entry.
When are those we put in office at both a state and federal level going to represent the people who voted them into office?
How do we get to the truth?
The truth is there, it is just underneath layers of thick, power hungry agendas with our “leaders” having a challenging time pulling their greedy hands away from the money and, the media not sharing the proper facts.
A reminder to us all – the media is the most powerful entity on earth. It can make the innocent guilty and the guilty innocent.
That is power.
The media controls the minds of the masses.
We need the media. However, we need to understand through critical thinking what is a lie and what is the truth – and why the obvious false narrative?
