ABBOTT: 'States Should Not Be Left to
the Mercy of a Lawless President'

Original Article

Posted By: ladydawgfan, 1/24/2024 4:12:24 PM

As President Biden escalates the federal government's assault on Texas and the Lone Star State's efforts to secure its border with Mexico after the Biden administration abdicated such responsibilities, Governor Greg Abbott is doubling down on his efforts to enforce the international border and reminding Biden that doing so is within Texas' constitutionally protected rights. Reiterating that President Biden has "broken the compact between the United States and the States," Abbott says in a fiery and justifiably defiant statement that "James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and the other visionaries who wrote the U.S. Constitution foresaw that States should not be left to the mercy of a lawless president

Unfortunately Biden is likely to instruct his Attorney General to have Abbott and his Texas staff indicated on federal criminal charges and be thrown in a Federal Jail. As that's how Democrat "Law Fare" works.

I would love to see Abbott's people putting razor wire behind the federal agents cutting the wire so they had to cuit their way back into the United States. We do have an outlaw President. An inept one at that.

There are a massive number of gun owners in Texas. All Abbott has to do is call up the "people's militia" and most of those people will be there to defend Texas against any dangers foreign or domestic!!! And I am confident to stand at the front of the pack when the US military comes. When they see how many of us are women, even with all their PC brainwashing, I doubt any member of the military will open fire on their fellow and sister citizens trying to protect this nation from the invasion of illegal aliens!!!!!

On a personal basis you can safely bet that the vast majority of the US Border Patrol rank and file would be a lot more prone to assist the Texas authorities in putting up the barbed wire than tearing it down.

The Supreme Court did not rule that Texas could not place barriers, although it did rule that the federal government could remove them. There is a difference. Plus, aside from the National Guard, Texas has a State Guard and state law enforcement entities, like DPS and Texas Rangers. During the 1840s, Rangers secured the Tex-Mex border and made a few incursions into Mexico in hot pursuit of rustlers and thieves. The federal government took control of the borders and immigration policy after the Immigration Act of 1891 was signed into public law. The 1891 Act also expanded the list of excludable classes, barring the immigration of polygamists, persons convicted of crimes of moral turpitude, and those suffering loathsome or contagious diseases., the very people Biden puts on airplanes and ships into the interior, minus the millions he leaves behind in Texas and Arizona, using the criminals and sick aliens to turn the red states blue. That proviso is markedly absent from the 1891 act, like the absent Puerto Rican neighborhoods in Delaware within which Biden claims to have been raised during his many pandering tours.

We've been seeing more and more trouble start to pile up for Fulton County DA Fani Willis. First, there was the revelation of an alleged romantic relationship with the man she had appointed to be a special prosecutor, Nathan Wade, in the election case against former President Donald Trump. That was accompanied by evidence of at least two meetings with the Biden White House, which stinks to high heaven. That was followed by the records from Wade's estranged wife Jocelyn Wade that were filed in their divorce case showing that he allegedly bought trips to go on together with Willis.

Democrat attorneys general are calling for an investigation into the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant in an effort to shut down the facility. The Missouri-based plant, which is the largest producer of small arms ammunition in the U.S., has become one of the latest targets of the anti-gunner crowd in their quest to keep as many Americans disarmed as possible. The Democrats’ request, which is ostensibly intended to curb the availability of “military-grade rounds” in the commercial market, is supposed to be a step towards decreasing the prevalence of gun violence.

It is belaboring the obvious to note that a constitutional right should not be conditional and subject to taxation, but a Maryland politician is proposing exactly that. Predictably, anti-Second Amendment Maryland Delegate Terri Hill is proposing to require prospective legal CCW holders to provide proof of a $300k insurance policy before being allowed to carry. Gun owners in Maryland would be required to buy at least $300,000 in liability insurance or forfeit their ability to carry a firearm under a new bill. The controversial legislation, introduced by Delegate Terri Hill, D-Howard County, would prohibit the "wear or carry" of a gun anywhere in the state

Young voters are already frustrated that Joe Biden couldn’t deliver on an actual student loan bailout. Biden didn’t have the votes in Congress to pull off something of that scale, and doing so by executive decree was later deemed constitutionally questionable. He did so on a smaller scale because Joe, like crackhead Hunter, thinks the rules don’t apply to him. Still, it hasn’t masked the fact that young voters are souring on Joe; they think he’s too old, and now he’s enabling genocide in Gaza. You know there’s no genocide in Gaza. Still, the kiddos and the Muslim voters here think Treblinka 2.0 is unfolding before our very eyes,

Former U.N. Ambassador and South Carolina governor Nikki Haley's allegations that chaos follows former president Donald Trump wherever he goes are proving to be unfounded. Aside from the circus of indictments, if the poll numbers, endorsements, and wins in both the Iowa Caucuses and the New Hampshire Primary are any indication, the Trump 2024 re-election machine appears to be well-oiled and chugging along smoothly. In particular, the endorsements have been almost lockstep, showing a unified Republican Party backing without reservation the person whom they assume will be the presumptive nominee. Something shocking — and telling — has unfolded beyond Donald Trump's onstage, online and courtroom theatrics:

Falsely accusing people of racism never gets old for folks on the hard left – especially for MSNBC commentator Joy Reid, who gets paid big bucks to call people bigots for not being progressives. In the latest episode of “Everyone Who Disagrees With Me Is a Racist,” Reid hit out at people who oppose open borders immigration policy during a conversation with Paola Ramos, a former advisor to Hillary Clinton. Reid was especially fixated on Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), who has been vocal in his criticism of the Biden administration for its failure to handle the border crisis.

At a time when technology increasingly intersects with law enforcement practices, the story of Harvey Eugene Murphy provides a cautionary tale about the potential pitfalls of using various technologies that can lead to injustice. Murphy has filed a lawsuit against Sunglass Hut’s parent company after a store’s facial recognition program falsely identified him as a robber. As a result, he was arrested and jailed, which led to him being sexually assaulted. A 61-year-old grandfather is suing Sunglass Hut's parent company after the store's facial recognition technology mistakenly identified him as a robber. Harvey Eugene Murphy Jr. was subsequently held in jail, where he says he was sexually assaulted, according to the lawsuit.

Sharpton said, “Obviously Trump winning by double digits was not unexpected. I think Haley did a little better than some of the polls had, but she didn’t make it.

Plans are in motion to build what would become the tallest skyscraper in the United States — and it is coming to an unlikely city. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, has a population of just under 700,000, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Although it has around a twelfth of the population of New York City, developers are trying to use it to take away the Big Apple’s title as home of the largest building in the country. Real estate company Matteson Capital hopes to submit a request to raise the tower’s original planned height of 1,750 feet to a whopping 1,907 feet — a nod to the year Oklahoma gained statehood

The Democrat Party has done everything they can to ruin President Donald Trump. The junk lawsuits couldn’t stop him. The insurrection lies couldn’t stop him. The 14th Amendment smears couldn’t stop him. The FBI spying and lies couldn’t stop him. Lawfare charges by crooked District Attorneys. Threats of 700 years in prison for manufactured crimes. Stealing over $250 million from his business for paying off business loans. Brutal harassment of his family. None of this stopped President Trump from his mission to save America from the Marxist horde and the power hungry elites. Now, the left has a new tactic. Politico today is now urging Republicans to skip Trump rallies.

Independent urban legend tracking and fact-checking website Snopes took a huge amount of fire on Saturday after marking a true story about President Joe Biden wearing a hard hat backwards “false” — so much heat that eventually they reversed their own ruling and the story is now marked “true” on the site. At issue was a photo of Joe Biden wearing a hard hat backwards, which went viral on the right leaning side of social media before garnering enough attention to warrant a Snopes check. The photo, which shows Biden wearing (a) hard hat backwards, was included in the Snopes article that first called the story false.

Joe Biden went to South Carolina on Saturday to campaign. He barely does any work as it is, spends a lot of his time on vacation, but now during the little time he is actually "working," he's trying to pull himself together to campaign. It's not working. He can't seem to pull it together anymore. He was always bad but it's even worse now. Now the incoherence is more and more apparent, as is the out-of-control anger and the slurring. First, he seemed to blank out for a moment, then said, "Folks... [lengthy pause, mumbles] If were smart, I'd say thank you and leave."
