Greg Abbott Is Cornered and Scared

Original Article

Posted By: ConservativeYogini, 3/14/2021 4:25:31 PM

Texas Governor Greg Abbott declared war on anti-Semitism this week, tying Gab, a free speech-centric social media network, to the issue. “Anti-Semitic platforms like Gab have no place in Texas and certainly do not represent Texas values,” he said, flanked by Republican State Representatives Craig Goldman and Phil King in a video released Wednesday. With the American, Israeli, and Texas flags looming in the background, Abbott pledged to support legislation introduced by Goldman and King aimed at “fighting anti-Semitism.” At first glance, Abbott’s intentions may seem sincere but the move is misguided and, frankly, stupid.

IMO article is right on. Abbott and the GOP controlled legislature own the winter storm disaster and the poor emergency response. Another Texas Tribune article points out that the Public Utility Commission and the legislature repeatedly backed off in forcing the utility companies to winterize the power plants ignoring technical engineers' recommendations. Now that the snow is gone, we have the worst "Spring breakup" on our roads outside of the I-35 corridor I've ever seen- and I grew up in cold weather. I've seen TxDOT crews in action. Just shovel asphalt into the hole, and tamp it down by hand. Next week the holes will reappear. And I mean big ones. I'm going to send my medical bills from the bone and joint clinic directly to TxDOT. Bottom line is TX infrastructure was never anything to write home about, but now it's a huge fiasco. Also, Covid restrictions were designed to boost big tech in Austin and Dallas. Big Ed in Texas needed more devices and connectivity to conduct remote instruction. They got what they wanted with a 500 million grant from the state for mo' computer stuff. In addition, Abbott let the county Gauleiters run roughshod on the people as the Gov's enforcers for these restrictions. It's clear Abbott wants to have it both ways and the legislature has been AWOL. Outside the I-35 corridor, this place is going downhill fast.

#1 good points. The power of the County Judge to run his/her county as their own personal fiefdom as a feudal lord was largely unknown until the pandemic.

Gab says it allows all voices. How does that idea make Andrew Torbin an antisemite. He uses a symbol of the Christian faith in his posts. One cannot be a true Christian AND an anti-semite. Think about that.

I agree #1. After a few weeks and learning more about what really happened during the winter storm, I see things a bit differently. I just watched Abbott’s last presser on the disastrous border situation and I believe his passion was due to fear for his political life.

Abbott is just another Dubya. Texas loves these guys, until they get hit with the headlights and freeze. Charles Durning, bless his soul, played the part perfectly...he loved the little sidestep.

I believe an apology is called for. There are antisemitism remarks posted on Gab. I believe that is because Gab allows all points of view and that is the point of view of some. It's called free speech. Anyone else is allowed to post a rebuttal.

In an annual report that it recently released, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration identified nine Mexican drug cartels as the principal entities behind the flood of cocaine, fentanyl, heroin, marijuana, and methamphetamine into the country. The DEA’s 2020 National Drug Threat Assessment was published March 2, 2021 and illustrated how Mexico’s leading cartels operate.

We have all been circling around the genesis of our society's ills since the COVID epidemic struck and the riots and peaceful protests began. It is not ironic that everything happened seemingly at once; rather, once the wound appeared, it became inflamed and infected almost immediately. On the most fundamental level, we are suffering from a complete disrespect for boundaries. The idea of boundaries is fairly simple, yet its roots grow deep, indeed to the core of humanity. One of my favorite books describes the entire book of Genesis from the Bible as an ironic story about boundaries

The Journalism Competition and Preservation Act of 2019 is currently making its way through Congress and if passed, would be a massive blow to small media companies. According to govtrack.us, the bill creates a four-year safe harbor from antitrust laws for print or digital news companies to collectively negotiate with online social media companies regarding the terms on which the news companies’ content may be distributed by online content distributors. A report published by Breitbart this week criticizes the bill, saying it would give Big Media companies a special exemption from antitrust law, allowing them to form a cartel

Former President Trump said Sunday during an interview with Fox News’ Steve Hilton that he was concerned about the anticipated crowd size near the Capitol ahead of the Jan. 6 riot. His team notified the Department of Defense about the magnitude of the rally and requested 10,000 national guardsmen be on standby. "I requested, I said this rally will be bigger than anyone thinks, because everyone I see said 'we’ll be at the rally,'" he said, noting it was probably the biggest crowd he’s spoken before. “And I said that I think we should have 10,000 [national guardsmen] … and they took that number.” He said the suggestion was rejected.

The person who did this deserves a PEACE PRIZE for sheer ingenuity and spending his own dough to do it. Michigan has been through a rougher ride than most of its surrounding states and that can only be attributed to the unique governing style of Gretchen Esther Whitmer. Her bumper car style of keeping the citizens in line has really caused more difficulty than this state should have endured. Don’t believe me, then you can read some of my previous posts on this right HERE, HERE, and HERE. From picking on an elderly barber to demanding her illegal executive orders still be followed, this does not paint a pretty picture at all.

We all know that something morally grotesque is swallowing liberal America. Almost no one wants to risk talking about it out loud. Every day I get phone calls from anxious Americans complaining about an ideology that wants to pull all of us into the past. I get calls from parents telling me about the damaging things being taught in schools: so-called antiracist programs that urge children to obsess on the color of their skin. I get calls from people working in corporate America forced to go to trainings in which they learn that they carry collective, race-based guilt — or benefit from collective, race-based virtue.

It’s Inauguration Day, which means unless a miracle drops on us immediately, Joe Biden is the 46th President of the United States. Once he’s inaugurated, it’s essentially over for any hopes that President Trump can continue into a second term, right? Hold your horses. There’s another avenue to expose voter fraud that only became available AFTER Biden’s inauguration. This play is called a writ of quo warranto. [Snip] It takes the accumulated bombshells, affidavits, videos, and other pieces of evidence and consolidates them into one legal case.

The Biden administration has managed to quickly duplicate the Obama administration's disastrous foreign policy of appeasement. Now it's busy copying its opposition campaign. One of the dumber campaigns by the Obama administration was Operation Rushbo. Operation Rushbo was a campaign by Obama's people to target Rush Limbaugh personally, as the most outspoken voice in the conservative movement, and to, seemingly 'destroy' the conservative movement by making Limbaugh into its public face. [SNIP] Now, the Biden administration has decided to relaunch Operation Rushbo to target Tucker Carlson.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that climate change has contributed to the surge of migrant children crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. Pelosi said, “There are more children, about 600, 700 more children, unaccompanied children coming over the border. This is a humanitarian challenge to all of us. What the administration has inherited is a broken system at the border, and they are working to correct that in the children’s interest. I’m so pleased that the president, as a temporary measure, has sent FEMA to the border to help facilitate the children going from one 72-hour issue where they are cared for

That would include “African American, Chicana/o/x and Latina/o/x, Native American, and Asian American and Pacific Islander studies,” according to the CDE. “By affirming the identities and contributions of marginalized groups in our society, ethnic studies helps students see themselves and each other as part of the narrative of the United States,” the overview states.
