Texas Senate Passes Republican Voting
Bill, Overcoming Dem Obstruction

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 8/12/2021 12:46:13 PM

The Texas Senate voted to advance a major Republican voting bill on Thursday in an 18-11 vote, along party lines. Senate Bill 1 passed after state Senator Carol Alvarado finished a 15-hour talking filibuster in an attempt to delay the vote. Filibuster rules prohibited Albarado from eating, sitting down, leaning on her desk, taking a bathroom break or speaking about subjects unrelated to the bill. The all-night filibuster came one day after Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan, a Republican, signed arrest warrants for 52 Democrats who did not return during the fourth day of the House’s second special session. The Democrats’ absence left the chamber eight members short of a quorum.

Why are the Demon-Rats wasting so much time and tax dollars and energy fighting this, when it's inevitable that it will pass?!?!?!?!? It's extremely popular, even among most lie-berals in Texas. We all want free and fair elections!!! And then they will just find some lie-beral activist judge to rule in unconstitutional, and tie it up in the courts for years. We have seen this game played too many times in the past to think there is any other outcome.

The fact of the matter is that they simply DO NOT HAVE THE VOTES to prevent passage in the Texas Senate or the Legislature-- and this legislation will eventually PASS no matter how many tantrums they throw. Under the Texas Constitution, Governor Abbott has the authority to determine what will be on the agenda during a Special Session and will continue calling Special Sessions until this and other items he sets on the agenda get voted upon.

Problem is that the Dems vacationing in Portugal and DC are from the Texas House. As long as 51 of them stay away (they have 67 of 150 seats, the GOP has 82 and there is 1 vacancy), they don't have a quorum. But Gov Abbott can call special sessions from now to election day 2022. Sooner or later, they're gonna have to come home to campaign for re-election (primaries in March) and I''m gonna bet that there are some upwardly mobile Democrats that think that while Rep Holdout Forever is hanging around on the French Rivera or some swankly DC hotel, he/she has a chance to glad hand the locals at the Miss Dime Box festival or the local LULAC/NAACP fund raiser and get a few votes. And there is no vote stealing like a Democrat primary, heck, they even steal cemetary votes from each other.

President Joe Biden is weighing vaccines mandates for interstate travel, according to the Associated Press (AP) on Thursday. “Still, while more severe [coronavirus] measures — such as mandating vaccines for interstate travel or changing how the federal government reimburses treatment for those who are unvaccinated and become ill with COVID-19 — have been discussed,” the AP writes, “the administration worried that they would be too polarizing for the moment.” For the time being, the White House seems content with shaming those who are unvaccinated, while demanding private companies mandate vaccinations for their employees. For instance, Biden told churchgoers April 1, they were being ungodly if they did not become vaccinated.

Senior U.S. officials made a surprise visit to Mexico Tuesday to discuss bilateral cooperation on reducing illegal migrants crossing into the U.S. in record numbers. Notably missing from the trip was Vice President Kamala Harris, charged by President Joe Biden to work with Mexico and Central America on addressing alleged “root causes” driving migrants from Central America’s Northern Triangle (NT) countries of Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras to make the dangerous journey to the U.S. illegally. The White House did not provide a readout of the meeting until a day after the event.

A group of religious warriors, riding on captured American military vehicles, vanquish a US-trained military, which relinquishes much of its power without a fight. Sound familiar? That’s what happened in Iraq after the US withdrawal of troops from the country at the end of 2011. Within three years, an army of ISIS fighters was only a few miles from the gates of Baghdad and had taken many of the significant cities in Iraq. t was then-Vice President Joe Biden who had negotiated the Obama administration’s drawdown from Iraq. In 2014, after ISIS began ethnic cleansing in Iraq and murdering American journalists and aid workers, then-President Barack Obama reversed that decision

New York’s COVID Emergency Eviction and Foreclosure Prevention Act says that if a tenant self-certifies his or her financial hardship, landlords generally cannot contest that certification in court. Instead, the tenant is free to remain in the property without paying rent. Today, the Supreme Court lifted this particular ban on evictions. The Court did not disturb the provision in the same law that instructs New York courts to entertain a covid-related hardship defense in eviction proceedings, assessing a tenant’s income prior to covid, income during covid, liquid assets, and ability to obtain government assistance. The landlords who brought the case did not seek such relief.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced Thursday that border patrol agents apprehended over 212,000 undocumented migrants in July, breaking the 200,000 threshold for the first time in 21 years, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data. During a stop at the border in Texas, Mayorkas commented that 212,672 migrants were encountered in July, a 13 percent increase over the influx of 188,000 migrants encountered in June. He acknowledged that the rapidly deteriorating situation at the border constitutes a crisis, calling it “one of the toughest challenges we face.” He added that 95,788 of those detainees, mostly single adults rather than families, were expelled under Trump-era Title 42

The Supreme Court denied Thursday the petition of eight Indiana University students asking to block the school’s requirement that students receive the COVID vaccine as a condition of fall enrollment. Newly confirmed conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett was charged with reviewing the legal challenge to the college’s rule and refused to block it. No other justices on the bench offered a dissenting opinion. The case originated when a group of Indiana students asked the court for an emergency order striking down the mandate, claiming that the potential harm of inoculation exceeded the merits of protection against the disease for their age demographic.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon is moving marines into position to cover the evacuation of staff as intelligence reports suggest the Taliban may launch an assault within 30 days, the Times reported.

Watching the media and viewing online forums, you’d assume the group of people with the most hesitancy to get the vaccine would be the uneducated or even conspiracy theorists who think they’re injecting 5G magnets into the arm so the government can track you. You’ll be surprised to find that this isn’t the case. While people with low levels of education are still high on the charts for refusing to get the vaccine, it’s the people with the highest education levels that comprise the largest group of those who are vaccine-hesitant. According to a study by Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburg,

Joe Biden held a virtual meeting on infrastructure today with some governors, mayors, and other officials to push his infrastructure plan. Among the people in attendance was Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. But Biden appeared to get confused while addressing her at one point. Despite the fact that her picture was on the screen with her name in big, bold letters, Biden still referred to her as “Jennifer” as he thanked her for the work that “you’ve done and continue to do.” It appeared that Biden confused Whitmer with the former governor of Michigan, Jennifer Granholm, who held that position from 2003-2011. But now she’s serving as Biden’s energy secretary.

Not only is history working against them - a new President’s party almost always loses seats in Congress in their first midterm election - but Democrats have the smallest majority in 100 years and

For decades, the Democrat “death tax” has been greatly frowned upon by Republicans and the American people. Most Americans hate the concept of taxing someone’s wealth after they have died however this has not stopped Democrats from gouging money from a deceased person’s family.National Review reports that the death tax has dropped from 55% to 40% this century however it now appears that the Biden administration wants more.You heard that right: The Biden administration wants to tax you or your loved one’s dead body.
