Abbott is Starving his voters to own the libs

Starve your own voters to own the libs. That appears to be Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s latest strategy for reaching the White House, given his decision to deliberately snarl traffic on the U.S. southern border — leaving food to rot and critical components for cars and other manufacturing to remain inaccessible to U.S. companies and consumers. Last week, Abbott (R) announced that state troopers would begin “enhanced” safety inspections of commercial vehicles crossing the border, ostensibly to catch illegal immigrants and drugs. Now, federal officials from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) already inspect vehicles crossing the border for human trafficking and potentially illicit cargo. And Texas state troopers are not legally allowed to inspect these truckers’ cargo; they can check only for mechanical issues, such as faulty brakes, tires or taillights.

Not so sure that Truck drivers shouldn’t be inspected for the reasons the author states. This is also around one week old.

“In 2019, 34.8% of Texans were obese compared to 30.9% of Americans.”

Based Abbott.

[Jeff Chandler]

I know something is going on. Just try to buy a decent head of cabbage.

[Morpheus2009]

Perhaps he is accomplishing something.

[Jeff Chandler]

In 2019, 34.8% of Texans were obese compared to 30.9% of Americans.

Texans aren't Americans?

[Tell It Right]

That's nothing. Here's the real culprit in food shortages, something the Dims hope we forget.

04-22-2021: “The Biden administration announced it would expand a program that pays farmers to leave land fallow, part of a broader, government-wide effort to cut greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030.”

That combined with the ethanol mandate to burn food instead of eat it leads to yuuugggeee food shortages.

I though you said he froze them all to death already.

[ConservativeMind]

I don’t think Texans will starve from this.

What an idiot author.

[Tell It Right]

To hear my family in Texas say it, they're citizens of "The Republic of Texas". LOL

Of course, for the past 12 years one of their other favorite sayings is: "if only Colt McCoy hadn't gotten hurt". LOL

Some Texans I know would have no problem at all with that phrasing.

Does this mean no more fried butter at the Texas State Fair?

I would give up quite a few meals to drive DemocRats out of Texas. No issue here.

[jdsteel]

Abbot’s truck inspections are already bearing fruit (pun intended).

Mexico is willing to deal.

[Seruzawa]

Catherine Rampbell is fine with dangerous substandard Mexican rigs careening down the US Interstates. Good to know.

“In 2019, 34.8% of Texans were obese compared to 30.9% of Americans.”

Where did this come from? It wasn't in the article and it's not sure what it has to do with Greg Abbott.

[Lurkinanloomin]

The point is that the USA is being invaded with the encouragement of the federal government.
God Bless Texas for at least trying to slow it down.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

You liberals keep pushing it and Abbott may deputize thousands of willing Texans and send them to the border to help stop this illegal immigration. I am literally ready.

[al_c]

Looks like the Dems found someone to push the blame for their own failures onto. Typical.

[teevolt]

Seems logical to me to think of your State before the union of multiple states.
