Yay, now Texas can continue receiving quality exports from Portland, which probably consists of dildos.

Texas should ban MARXIST Mayor Psycho Wheeler from coming into the state on public health grounds.

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

They do stuff like that all the time.

“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.
