With Republicans Like Vichycon Tony…

If it quacks like a Democrat…

And see, here’s the thing. This is another Avatar situation. It’s not just Herrera he’s calling a neo-Nazi.

Surprise, Surprise, Surprise

“Here, the district court concluded that ‘the federal government has both a dominant interest and a pervasive regulatory framework’ to control immigration into the United States, ‘preclud[ing] state regulation in the area,’” wrote Chief Judge Priscilla Richman. [More]

Nominated by President George W. Bush…

We’re the Only Ones For the Children Enough

Cervantes had been the chief of police for Rio Bravo, near Laredo, but he left his post after he filed a lawsuit in 2017 alleging that then-City Administrator Miguel Berry ordered him “to shoot the children of illegal immigrants (he) and his officers might arrest so it would be easier to send the parents back to Mexico,” according to the Laredo Morning Times. [More]

Not a whole lot out there about what happened with this. In the absence of evidence beyond a reasonable doubt, the accused are presumed innocent.

Empty Threat?

President Trump Calls on ‘All Willing States’ to Deploy Their National Guards to Texas to Defend U.S-Mexico Border as Red State Alliance Grows to 25 [More]

While the rest of his statement plays well with MAGA voters, calling for that and not having checked to see if anyone would do it seems like more of the same impulsiveness that is one of his most vulnerable flaws, and can’t serve well in his current legal cases.

Agents ‘Absolutely’ Don’t Want To Cut Greg Abbott’s Razor Wire, Border Patrol Union President Says [More]

I’m sure there were Germans who didn’t want to round up Holocaust victims and guard camps.

So… how many of these reluctant agents will just follow orders and abet treason, anyway?

A Little Standoffish…

The Texas Military Department confirms the TX National Guard has seized control of Shelby Park in Eagle Pass (city property where mass illegal crossings are), and is restricting Border Patrol from accessing the area, saying the Feds “perpetuate illegal crossings”. [More]

And who will they obey if Biden takes over by calling them into national service and ordering them to “help”…?

Tell Me You’re Not Serious Without Telling Me You’re Not Serious

Texas officials charted a private plane to keep sending migrants from overwhelmed border to Chicago [More]

This is just such a non-solution…

How about arrest invaders at the border and force them back across? And if the feds show up, have a standoff?

Who thinks this isn’t going to lead to civil war anyway?

Too bad they’ve ignored their militia duties, and if any volunteers showed up to bolster ranks it’d be damn near impossible to weed out the provocateurs.

A River in Egypt

JAMES WAS ARRESTED IN JANUARY 2022 FOR THREE MISDEMEANOR ASSAULT CHARGES. THE VICTIM’S BELIEVED TO BE HIS PARENTS AND A SIBLING. THE FAMILY STATED THAT JAMES DOES NOT BELONG IN JAIL. [More]

That’s one hell of a tightrope to walk, weighing familial love and guilt against denial, justifiably fearing police overreactions, and ensuring due process-respecting interventions.

There oughta be a law.

Our State Fair is a Great State Fair

“It’s one thing to have a right to bear arms; it’s another to have legislation, like permit-less carry, that makes it easier for senseless acts of gun violence like this to be carried out in our state,” said Bazaldua. [More]

Curious. No one at NBCDFW seemed interested in asking him “How?”

Especially considering:

Entry to the fairgrounds is contingent on a security screening process. All guests will be screened for weapons either by a walk-through or hand-held detection device. Bags, purses, coolers, and similar containers will be searched to determine if any illegal, prohibited, or suspicious items are present that may pose a safety or security concern within the property.

I guess some don’t obey “gun control” edicts

Does that make Bazaldua a shameless, opportunistic blood-dancing liar?

What do you think?

Funny. This didn’t used to happen.

We’re the Only Ones Very Pretty Enough

A sweeping bill has been signed into law by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) in the wake of the horrific Uvalde shooting, posting an armed security officer in every school in the state. [More]

Better than the one at Parkland?

A Pinkley quote comes to mind.
