Governor Abbott calls for a statewide tribute, to honor Deputy Goforth and all officers across the state. He's been tweeting, almost non-stop, with updates of all of the groups across the state, who will participate.

(Texas) Civilians can turn on their flashers, at 11:00 a.m. Central, to show their respect for the late Deputy Goforth.

I was very sorry to hear of Deputy Goforth’s situation.

It’s a real shame our society is melting down like it is.

My sympathies go out to his family and associates.

This guy undoubtedly helped thousands of people during his career.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott: DO IT

Border Invasion

U.S. Const. art. IV, § 4 mandates the Federal government protect states against Invasion. The Federal government has not performed.

U.S. Const. art. I, § 10 No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.

U.S. Const. amend. X The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

All States retain the right to self defense. The Federal government has refused to provide for the common defense, the raison d'etre for the Federal government. The States must repel invasion or the people will.

Texas

The Texas Governor has the authority to call forth the state military forces and the reserve militia to repel the invasion.

Abbott; how ‘bout you have a special commission do an investigation into the Waco massacre on May 17th of this year. Then we can talk about giving full support to Texas lawmen. Right now at least some of them are suspect.

You do that and have them release the videos and ballistic test results and you will have my full support for most the LEO’s in TX.

If you really want to restore faith and support we need to know who is corrupt and who isn’t.
