There’s a bit of a lifestyle diff, but I cannot really come up with a political diff between Austin and N Korea...so what’s the problem if it gets nuked?

I think I just remembered something a few weeks back on FR. Wasn’t there a story about military readiness drills being conducted in Houston a few weeks/month ago?

I live in the heart of Austin and enjoy this city despite the lefties.

We may be outnumbered by the left here in Austin, but we conservatives are the front-line troops in a war of ideas with this rabid enemy of Marxism.

YW. It struck me as odd that there was a report of a rather large military exercise in Houston (of all places), and then Kim Jong Un threatens Austin, of all places.

Ponderous man, ponderous.
