Texas State Senator, Dan Patrick, was on FoxNews this morning at 8:45am. He said he had some “breaking news to share”. Boy was it!!! The Texas State Legislature had been trying very hard to get the Obama Administration to respond to a critical situation on the Texas Border. The Administration had not gotten back with Texas as of last night. So the State of Texas told Washington D.C. basically they could go jump, and “we’ll take care of Texas!”. As of last night… the Texas National Guard has been put on High Alert!!! This is the first time in history! Texas tried, desperately to get Washington’s approval… but when they could not get it… they acted on their own. Which I say…. it’s about damn time!!! I personally applaud the guts it took to defy the Fed’s and act in our best interest! In case you are unaware of what the problems are …. Sen. Dan Patrick spelled it out nicely!
1) 100’s of PRO-DRUG CARTEL Mexicans were blocking the entrance to the United States, yesterday and today, banging cars, shouting and holding signs. 10 people were killed Wed. and 12 more yesterday at the border (5 of which were children!!!) 2) They aren’t sure … but they think the Drug Cartel is paying the demonstrators to do what they’re doing. 3) This will spill over into the States! Mr. Patrick, and the other State officials,. are convinced that road-side bombs and car bombs will make it across the border and WILL NOT allow that to happen!! 4) Mexico is breaking out in Civil War in the western part of the border and they expect it to spread the entire border with no end in sight. 5) The National Guard will be activated as the scenario worsens and is on Alert now and will remain so until (and IF) Washington does something to end the danger on the border (Yeah… like that’s gonna happen!).
FoxNews has yet to put this on their website which absolutely ticks me off!!!! I will post it IF they get the stones to do what’s right!
Let’s pray it doesn’t come to this…. but in reality… Texas could be in a Civil War (actually it would be an international incident) with Mexico very soon if this isn’t quelled. Just so you folks know…. the four Militia Groups that are here in Texas will be put on alert this evening. This has gotten REAL, REALLY FAST!
Be alert. The world needs more lerts.
The coming civil war in Mexico will spill over to the US beyond what anyone expects, including Obama. Truly a scary time for our border states.
Bout damn time.
Not just the border (southern) states anymore. We’re overrun with illegals here in Michigan too and they didn’t come from Canada.
22 Americans or 22 Mexicans killed? And on which side of the border?
“I personally applaud the guts it took to defy the Fed’s and act in our best interest!”
Don’t reflect too long on this sentence, it’ll depress you...
Be vigilant my friend.
May God bless my fellow Texans, and protect them from the evil to the south.
I can’t answer your question but NOBODY I know goes to Mexico anymore.
Ping.
There are too many of these thugs in the US waiting to join in...
Pardon my ignorance, but exactly what does “High Alert” mean??
Are Texas National Guardsmen in their armories drawing weapons and ammunition, at this moment?? Digging emplacements along the border??
Or is it just a ‘heads-up’ for a possible callup??
Good to hear Texas is finally stepping up....but I fear that pro-illegal/pro-NAU Governor Perry will try to stall and backpedal from this.
Need to do something about Mexico, its illegals, and its potential refugees. Its time to start thinking America First...and not some stupid agreements and/or treaties
Texas Ping.
Zero is not going to do anything for Texas, since Texas did not support the False Messiah. Would he act against Texas, claiming Texas has no right or authority to defend itself? Would not surprise me on bit.
Well, this is not yet confirmed, but it’s circumstantial, with the name of the state senator given. And it builds on news that HAS been confirmed here earlier about border blockades and protests apparently in the interests of the Mexican drug cartels.
I don’t know what those deaths signify. Were they actually at the border in connection with these protests? Or were they simply more drug murders in border cities? Those, regretably, have become a dime a dozen in recent months. Dozens are killed every day—decapitated, chopped up—including women and children. The media have reported this, sort of, but have really played it down. Compare it to the murder of one girl in the Carribean last year, and you can notice the difference—even though this is certainly “interesting” news.
I forwarded this to Drudge. He might run it.
Time to call in the drones....errrr...not the Obama voter kind.
