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.

I'm getting more jaded - I first read your post as "turd world tourist."
Sigh.
The left is hell bent on provoking something bad.
Why does the author think the we should have a wide open border?
I just wasted several minutes of my life reading his drivel. Foolish me. Will Bunch tries as hard as he can to make it sound like Abbott is a Confederate general! He is playing to his amen chorus knowing that his pets will make the connection and conclude, "He's a racist and will try to put me back in chains!"
I have had the Bonnie Blue flag in a small Stocker on the back of my pickup for years. People who know about it appreciate it.

“Would National Guard side with feds, or their state ? Many or all may want to side with Texas, but can they afford to do so ?”
The question is... can they afford “not” to do so? We are already in a war and have been. I think the Marxist left fired the first shot by stealing the 2020 election right out from under Trump. What the Marxist left Democrats have done since then has gone against everything we hold dear. Literally... everything.
What comes next is one of two things. We either roll over and meekly allow the Communists to take over this country, as they have been planning to do for a generation...
or we resist. We’re either still Americans that have grit and a keen sense of right vs. wrong... like our forefathers that built and kept this nation safe... and we are either willing to fight for what we hold dear and believe in... just like our forefathers fought and died for...
or we’re no longer worthy of living in freedom.
Freedom has always come at a price, throughout history. I pray that we have not become so “transformed” that we no longer value our freedom enough to sacrifice to keep it.
The author is a liberal heart string tugger who is clueless to how the world works much less how our represenetive Republic works. Liberals run on emotions, not logic. They also strive for power so they can shove their ideas down the throats of others. Unless we take a stand against these morons we will go the way of the Roman Empire.
He doesn’t even seem to be aware that the units Texas sent to the border are the State Guard, not the National Guard. While Biden could federalize the National Guard, Biden can’t federalize the relevant State Guard.
A stupid analogy when thinking it is only a symbol for the long gone Confederacy by yet another Lefty journalist who cannot understand history.
"....built after British forces captured and occupied Washington during the War of 1812 via a naval attack."
Biden is not Lincoln attacking the Confederacy, but King George attacking a people, who changed British colonies into a free nation, and who wrote:
"When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.This is why today's Democrats hate actual democracy and tear away at this Republic.And more....
Any USBP agents carrying out the regime’s border sabotage need to remove any U.S. flags from their uniforms. These slobs are loyal to a paycheck. Nothing else.
It is. They are looking for a silver-bullet power victory without addressing the malfeasance of the Biden administration’s behavior.
Eagle Pass is today’s Fort Sumter
So Mexico a secessionist state?
I agree but I also Biden’s handlers, aka Soros Obama want all hell to break loose so they can have absolute authority using what ever laws there are in cases of “emergencies”.
It’s an incorrect analogy, just like Jesus was a homeless child.
“The left is hell bent on provoking something bad.”
That’s probably similar to what the Jews were thinking back in 1937. In case you were wondering... we are the “new Jews”... ie anyone that is not on-board with the leftist agenda.
The marginalization and demonization and false imprisonment of MAGA folks has already begun. But it won’t stop at MAGA. It never does.
Back then, the Jews did not fight back... and the rest is history.

I suspect TX National Guard can NOT afford to follow orders to open the border.
They live there, with friends, family, neighbors, but could they be subject to a court martial. Court martial —applicable or not—would be the Biden threat.
“Fight them with a cell phone!”
Yeah, that approach worked so well while antifa queers and blm loosers were burning down cities.
Fort Sumpter? Really? The author is clueless and divorced from reality. 🙄
