A shoving match and war of words nearly turned into a fistfight on the Texas House floor Monday, the final day of a bitterly contentious 140-day legislative session. "This session has been very, very difficult," said Rep. Celia Israel, D-Austin. "There are enough of us here who remember a time in Texas when respect and decorum ruled the day." Those rules flew out the House door when a group of protesters crashed the chamber's gallery Monday, chanting opposition to the so-called sanctuary cities ban. Legislators approved a bill this year that would force local governments to enforce federal immigration laws, what opponents call a show-me-your-papers law.

And you’re surprised? Ask any UT Austin student and they’ll agree. It’s what they are being taught.

@Mavdog @Texan This fake news campaign is fabricated by the right wing in order to confuse people. It was invented by Harry Truman, the one term republican president who said "if you can't convince them, confuse them. Don't buy it. *snort*

That reminds of the time the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor. I heard that some young skulls full of mush said the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in retaliation for Hiroshima.

Still no disciplinary action against the Portland Hispanic bar member and judge Monica Herranz who appears to have aided the illegal charged with DUI in escaping from ICE, breaking federal law and violating her oath of attorneys?

Interesting question. One of theirs once called for some 25 million on our side was needed to clear the way for leftism to rule America. Bill Ayers is his name I believe. That was actually several decades back, so I would up the ante to 35 million of 'them' must die in our streets if we are to EVER restore our Constitutional Governance. <<< I'm not sad to say it either. Our differences can no longer be reconciled. It's time to file our divorce paperwork. This is OUR house, they can't have it.
