Governor Greg Abbott requested statewide designation for major disaster relief from President Biden. Biden denied the statewide designation and only approved some counties in Texas, not all of them. Abbott asked for a declaration that covered the entire state because the winter storm knocked out power and heat throughout the state, as well as leaving millions of Texans without water. Texas has 254 counties. Biden approved only 77 counties for disaster relief. The governor calls it an important first step but it falls far short of what Texas officials requested. Biden signed the declaration late Friday. It covers much of the Texas population.

Amazing, isn't it? Biden cherry picks 77 counties to provide aid to. But we find out that the COVID relief bill will fund all kinds of Leftist pet projects that have nothing to do with COVID. God help us!!

I am not sure I can recall any disaster where the president did not declare it? Granted this is highly partisan and the decision was made by the people behind the curtain, but it is very troubling. This has become a very dangerous administration to those who supported President Trump.

Obama did the same during a flood here in Kentucky. We are right across the Ohio River from Indiana whose residents suffered from the same flood. So, after checking voter registration O'Bama approved disaster relief for Democrat Kentucky and denied relief to Republican Indiana. This is how Democrats work. I wish Republicans worked from the same playbook.

The Republic of Texas approaches.
Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, S Dakota, N Dakota, Montana, Alberta (Canada), Saskatchewan (Canada), Manitoba (Canada), and a few states along the sides. Let's go EAST. Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida.
We have every warm water shipping port in The Gulf of Mexico and more oil than the Saudis ever dreamed of. California and New York can print their own money. If they want to trade they can go through Panama.
We WILL protect our borders ,north and south.
If you're coming to visit Texas bring your US passport with the pre-approved visitor's visa.

If you don't vote Democrat don't look for much help for the next 4 years.
They need to save that money for California and New York, the ones with the highest electoral votes.

Ask the people of the Florida Panhandle, post Hurricane Michael, about the reprecussions of voting Republican. Many of them are still not back in their homes. Nancy Pelosi literally hung them out to dry.

Somebody who is pulling his strings is behind this. I seriously doubt now that most of the stuff coming out of DC is actually from Biden. Now imagine if a GOP president had done some of the stuff that has happened during JoeBama's first month in office. Makes my head spin thinking of all the media meltdowns and the uproar.

Re #8, I’d be happy with California doing the same. We too have warm water ports and produce enough foodstuffs of all kinds to feed us without bringing anything in. We have oil and natural resources in massive quantities. Swell idea!!!

Biden didn't do anything. Biden's handlers made this decision. We are now governed by anonymous, powerful shadows who negotiate among themselves in the background and pass their decisions on to a demented Biden for a rubber stamp.

Poster #8, add Eastern Washington, Oregon and all of Idaho to your list. There are three counties in Oregon who have petitioned to be allowed to join Idaho. There are petitions for the citizens to sign.

Thank you, Beto. Ha Ha Ha. Stick it to 75 million Trump voters, because we're going to need 100 million voters to beat the Dems in 2024. Until we adopt the same tactics as Dems, we will lose.

As Texas will be flooded by new voters, this kick in the nads is a temporary insult, exclusively targeting those who soon will matter that much less.

This isn't governing. Its tyranny.
Bet Trump signed off on many emergency declarations without doing this. If he had, the media would have had a field day. Where will the media be on reporting this? Most likely sitting around doing nothing and scratching their collective rear ends.

Probably King Biden the 1st only approved Democrat counties. This is what being a second-class citizen feels like.

We are serious about #Texit when we confront our state’s Republican Senators and Congressmen about it. The party will never go along so it will mean a split from the GOP too. Do you not think so, #8?

All Abbott has to do is declare Texas a transgender state and Biden would give them all the relief they need. Trump would have been there the next day and given them all the aid necessary.

It is easy to believe that hostile forces are pulling the strings on the Biden agenda. However, I have no sympathy for Biden. He is a very willing puppet for these hostile forces, because they made him president.

I live in one of the newly added counties. I can assure you we are NOT a blue county. Very, very red. We are rural but about 60 miles from the DFW metroplex.

As a Texan I welcome all ya'll but I'd rather see us defeat the communists militarily and permanently and re-establish the United States. Let those surviving commies move to China.
