Tin Soldiers?

We are a band of brothers and native to the soil

Fighting for the property we gained by honest toil

And when our rights were threatened, the cry rose near and far

Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star Hurrah! Hurrah!

For Southern rights, hurrah!

Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star

The blithering imbecile who wrote this pile of dog pooph hasn’t, as of today, taken even one of these illegals into his his home. People are not being manipulated with hollywoodstyle virtue signaling. So, there you have it, no more virgins.

We are in uncharted territory.

As I recall the story, when Hurricane Katrina unleashed urban renewal on New Orleans, there was a robust debate at senior levels in the White House about whether President Bush should nationalize the Louisiana National Guard.

The mayor and governor were basically AWOL. They had failed to evacuate New Orleans until a day or more after the rest of the Gulf Coast states had ordered evacuations. Everyone with a car and a grain of sense had gotten out of New Orleans anyhow, including the city and school system bus drivers who would have driven the evacuation busses. The people left in New Orleans were the very poor, many of them project dwellers, who didn’t have their own transportation, and the available busses flooded in their parking lots. Since no effort had been made to evacuate the jails, the criminals were simply released. Looting broke out.

When the Louisiana NG finally appeared, well after the city had flooded, the governor ordered it halted on the causeway outside of town due to reports of shots being fired in the city. The governor was afraid that the Guard might end up shooting a looter and that the optics would be bad. The Guard had finally arrived with trucks for emergency supplies and evacuations, but a cretin of a governor wouldn’t let the Guard move in and do its job.

At some point, people in the White House came to President Bush, made the case that the Governor was a feckless idiot, and argued that Bush should federalize the Guard and send it in. The White House lawyers argued back, saying that the president had no authority to do such a thing. The National Guard can be federalized in cases of major natural disasters, rioting and insurrection. Outside of those particular cases, the Guard belongs to the state.

I know, I know ... that was a long time ago, when we still pretended that statutory law has cognizable meaning. That was a long time ago. The democrats have abandoned that idea. But still ... there are limits to what the president can lawfully do with the National Guard, and I am pretty sure that federalizing the Guard to facilitate a foreign invasion of the United States — and the Great State of Texas — is not a lawful purpose.

I hope Governor Abbott has those briefs prepared, that he has had the needful conversations with the senior officers of the TNG, and that he has run the traplines with other Republican governors. If you draw a line in the sand, you had better be prepared to defend it. The case here is that it is Biden who is acting illegally and unconstitutionally, Biden that has violated his oath of office to faithfully execute the laws, and Biden who is acting in a revolutionary manner, making common cause with the nation’s enemies. There needs to be a united front on this, across the country and at all levels.

History is chocked full of hostilities emanating from the failures of nations to prevent the mass movements of their populations across other countries’ borders. War with Mexico, in the event they ultimately decline to stop illegal emigration and accept deportations, is necessary and unavoidable.

Barack Obama via Joe Biden, gives an ultimatum to Greg Abbott.

I’m hoping that Eagle Pass, TX will be Obama’s Armageddon.

The globalists / organized criminals want a civil war. Don't give it to them.

It's not a red state against blue state, or even average dem voter versus gop voter... it's the middle class against the uber wealthy who control this nation. Already, dems are waking up as their neighborhoods are being flooded with illegals, their give outs are being transferred to the invaders, their cities being gutted by the organized criminals in charge.

I suspect that Biden the stooge, the puppet, is being used to trigger internal strife. They can cut wires, and we can build walls. If the puppet goes Nero, then many more independents and even dems move to our side. Fifth Gen.

Should be ‘rebar’, putting razor wire on the closest private property.
