With the Biden administration preparing to end Title 42 on Thursday, and Texas bracing for the coming onslaught, several border security measures were approved in a meeting of the Texas House that lasted until nearly 2 a.m. The centerpiece bill, however, was defeated after House Speaker Dade Phelan sustained a point of order on the bill, sending it back to committee past the deadline for bills to be considered.

This once again shows the difference between the Democrats and Republicans. The Democrats almost always vote as one. The Republicans almost always have some RINOs aka Prima Donnas that prevents the party from doing the peoples’ work.

Too bad Trump never proposed any border security legislation besides the wall. Lotta good that Wall does when people can stream through the gates. Those “big, beautiful gates” as Trump put it.

Legislation was NOT his job. He begged for legislation, so he could do the job, not run immigration by executive order. What he did get done was amazing.

The above was ALL Trump behind the scenes. Biden left it in place because it worked. Trouble was Biden couldn’t take credit.

Defeating Phelan in Beaumont will be nearly impossible.

Young Mr Dade is Treasurer of his local Catholic Charities organization.

THAT is all you need to know to understand WHY he just eviscerated border security in Texas.

Just another San Patricio Battalion foot soldier.

He was voted in by dims and some RINOS. Just like the last few so-called repuke speakers of the Texas house.

So he retaliates by impeaching Paxton. I sense the Bushes are involved in this as well.

All it takes is a non-recourse loan. Tidy and profitable.

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen one here this last year.

Could this be why Phelan is impeaching Texas AG Ken Paxton?

Maybe the senate will stop it. And like DJT said, where the hell is Abbott while his popular with the voters AG is under attack?


Bingo. Dems protect Dems regardless. Rino’s cower and chirp from the shadows
