sorry, Texas, Portland just voted themselves access to your state again. But it was nice for the three virtue-signaling weeks I bet.

Looks like the liberals out there decided they needed Texas energy after all.

I don't know why they decided to reverse course however. They could have continued to boycott, bought Texas oil, and just ignored their own hypocrisy.

They do stuff like that all the time.

“Killing a baby is not reproductive care.”

But it is Covid therapy.

“reproductive care....”

A misnomer if I ever heard one.

I applaud Texas. What’s the saying? If you’re drawing flak you’re over the target?

I think that the conservative pro-life values that Texas has promulgated (”Don’t Mess With Texas!”) has struck a nerve.
