The high-stakes game of Texas Hold ’em taking place on the banks of the Rio Grande between the tin soldiers of that state’s Republican Gov. Greg Abbott and U.S. Border Patrol has reached a tension level that some writers and online pundits have compared to the standoff at Fort Sumter, the South Carolina outpost where the first shots of the Civil War were fired in 1861.

The tree of liberty is looking a bit weather worn.
Judging by the clouds on the horizon, the drought is about to be ended.
Being from Indiana, I was surprised as well.
Not even close to being a “Fort Sumter”
You're a lucky so-and-so. The whole of the Moselle and Weinstrase is special. I'd enjoyed hiking in the Pfalzwald nearby, and visited one or two too many wineries. I hope your time there was most special.
So many of the Germans I knew -- and still know courtesy of email and Skype -- have slowly been disabused of the state sponsored media and the likes of Spiegel. It is sad to think the Lefty hatred of Trump which has brought Germany to this place, with enormous rises in energy prices and the idiotic flood of "migrants" which is doublespeak for "invasion."
Personally and because of my affection for many Germans from both the old East and the West, now unified, I am saddened for what is coming for them. Courtesy of that "fundamental transformation" stuff. Schade. Wirklich schade.
Best wishes.
Leftist Will Bunch is thrilled by the prospect of dead people.
Should be ‘rebar’, putting razor wire on the closest private property.
It is not organized.
There are some who are, but they are small in number.
Many in the public sense what is happening. When the time comes they will do their part.
This is not about overthrowing a nation. It is about restoring the Constitution and dealing with those who seed to destroy the nation.
I have heard news reports that some BP agents will disobey orders to remove the barriers. We shall see. I think it's possible that the Biden gang doesn't want the BP to be caught on film helping the invaders. I would guess Mayorkas would prefer a sneak attack at night.
the leftard Willy Brunch is a typical white social justice ahole needs a visit to get his mind right
I’m talking about the minutemen that patrolled the border. Most of them vets. During W’s term.
Not about the original overthrowing a nation
Articles about them weren’t allowed here, so maybe you didn’t hear of it
Texas State Guard is admin. They have almost no equipment and near nothing in terms of combat capabilities.
TX National Guard is there, and all through the border. We’re just on SAD orders and not anything federally funded.
The feds are trying to breach the town of Eagle Pass in order to betray the United States, not defending a fort in order to protect it. It’s the anti-Sumter.
Not that they need combat capability for this.
In any case, thanks for the clarification.
