Texas Can Survive as the Lone Star State Posted Jan 30, 2024 By Martin Armstrong |

Oil Production Crude Energy 1 graph

Most importantly, Texas has oil, gas, and refining capacity and would continue to produce and refine fossil fuels. Without Texas, the United States would not be able to wage war, lacking the energy to fuel its tanks. Texas could stand on its own, and to ensure energy, other Red States would join hands against Washington.

Energy Crude Production by State USA

There is rising sentiment toward separation due to the Biden Administration’s abuse of executive orders. The Biden Administration thinks executive orders are the way to change the character of the United States without the people’s consent. Truman seized all the steel mills without statutory authority using an executive order that the Supreme Court reversed.

We have so many violations using executive decrees without statutory authority, circumventing Congress and the people. The abuse of this power is causing severe discontent. People are talking about separating, even in Florida. When historically a centralized government seeks total control, it collapses like the Soviet Union.

Most people do not know that Lenin wanted to copy the United States, whereas each province retained its sovereignty. Stalin poisoned Lenin and his wife and usurped total central control. Biden has endangered the survivability of the United States. Washington cannot override the sovereignty of the states.

Breaking Up Is Hard to Do

Isn't that like a husband declaring he's divorced from his wife, but the wife says they are still married and the county only has a marriage license but no divorce decree in their records?

Don't you think "readmitted" may be a little misleading here?

I know that articles refer to the states as being readmitted (or restored to their former positions), but they had preconditions to be met. They had to ratify the 13th and 14th amendments first.

So, to use your logic, if they were out of the union, then how can they ratify any amendments to the United States constitution to be restored, unless they never really left the union?

The US military is utterly too weak to conquer Texas.

The military has not waged war since we dropped the bomb, that is why we can't win, not weakness, just weak leadership.

but there is no provision for secession from the union.

Other than the Constitution of course. The truth is of course rights like land belongs to those that can defend them, Russia is showing that to Ukraine as we speak. Biden may do the same in Texas, we shall see I guess. I once foolishly believed the American Army would never turn on the people again, now with the military we have, not so sure.

If TX departs with its 40 ‘red’ electoral votes the remaining 498 will lean heavily to the ‘blue.’

So, in your imagination, assuming the good guys win, THEN the survivors would propose a Constitution to be ratified by the same “modern day twits.”

LOL.

You should have written “if General Sherman will come knocking at your door, Texans will send him back to hell.”

That’s positive reinforcement for patriots and creates fear in the enemy.

Abraham Lincoln showed us what the thought about broken American laws even in states where he had no jurisdiction, at least temporarily.
