Greg Abbott Drops Bombshell on TX Dems
Who Fled State: Return Today or Be Removed,
Face Felony Charges

Original Article

Posted By: ladydawgfan, 8/4/2025 9:47:35 AM

Texas Governor Greg Abbott issued a statement warning Democrats who fled the state to deny a quorum for his redistricting push that they have until precisely 3 p.m. Monday to return to their House duties or face removal from office. Abbott, in his statement, cites a 2021 Attorney General opinion (KP-0382) that could let him petition a court to declare their seats vacant. On top of that, he’s dangling the sword of felony charges, alleging their fundraising to cover $500-a-day fines might violate bribery laws. "Real Texans do not run from a fight," Abbott wrote. "But that’s exactly what most of the Texas House Democrats just did."

Comments:

Start filling those abandoned seats with Republicans until a quorum is achieved and then start passing legislation fast and furiously. Watch them come scrambling back like the chickens they are!!

When your entire system exists on dirty tricks, I guess this is what one can expect. We are in trouble if this is the way things are done.

I thought when the dems in Illinois were stopping the Republicans from re-districting, they fled to Texas.

This happened before in Texas. The governor sent the rangers to find them and bring them back to Texas.

Interesting point ... the Governor or the Attorney General mentioned that Democrats raising money to pay the $500 daily fines of the Democrat tourists to Illinois may be charged with bribery. If we start charging Texas Democrats who pocket their campaign cash to pay their debts, we are going to have a big problem in Texas -- prison overcrowding.

Why is it that conservative outlets and even Governor Abbot have adopted the left's mangled grammar: "...any lawmaker who refuses to do their job..." If the subject is singular, the adjective must be singular. And if you won't do that, there are still many ways to construct a sentence with having number disagreement. Come on sheep! Don't let the 'diversity mob" control your writing!

The DemoRats will raise Cain, cause a fuss, lawyer up, and judge shop. What else is new? Well, one thing new would be these clowns seeing the inside of a jail cell. That would be a nice switch, huh? Another thing, Governor Abbott seems to be more decisive these days and in a very good way. If he keeps this up and departs for good from his ways during Covid, I'll be a much stronger supporter for him.

Democrats are in a minority because they did not represent the will of the "People", they did not do their JOBS...Now they are showing, y fleeing to Chicago and NYC, appearing with Chicago and NYC politicians, that they do NOT represent Texans, but rather adhere to Chicago and NYC Democrat Political Machines. Another legal avenue would be to "affirm" that what they are doing is "Personal Business" not official Office Busness, and thus cannot use campaign funds for their expenses, nor for their fines. As we "Learned" through Dems persecution and prosecutions of Trump, Tom Delay, and many other cases, "Conspiracy and Collusion are Felonies", elevating any misdemeanor to Multiple felony status, any expenditure, though lawful in another context, can then create Three distinct Felony charges for every invoice, receipt and check/transfer, that it involves. ANY legal aide they hire can be charged as well, every retainer/billable hour,filing fees, even every phone cal can create a new and distinct Felony. Follow and file by the Leticia James "Plan", make them argue in court that when THEY do it, it is perfectly fine....even though they spent YEARS suing and Charging Trump and other repubs for similar "Crimes". Seize/freeze their bank accounts, send swat teams to raid their homes and offices, get access to their phone/email meassages...ant attempt to prevent is another felony, any attempt to hide or secure data...yet MORE felonies.Use the Texas Rangers and Federal Marshall's where/when and as needed. Bring them before a judge that recognizes that them fleeing the state and failing to appear at work, constitutes a "Flight Risk" and leaves them ineligible for Bail/Bond/release. Any and ALL strident complaint will be considered "Incitement" of insurrection, violence. intervening with Legitimate Govt Functions..

Attorney General Pam Bondi has reportedly signed an order to launch a grand jury investigation into the origins and promotion of the Russia hoax by former President Barack Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, CIA Director John Brennan, DNI James Clapper, FBI Director James Comey and more. [Tweet, video] The investigation comes after Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released a number of declassified documents showing President Barack Obama ordered a December 2016 meeting to discuss the so-called "collusion" between then candidate Donald Trump and the Russian government to win the presidential election.

In a bold move to uphold the rule of law and ensure democratic processes aren't hijacked by partisan theatrics, the Texas House has passed a motion to issue arrest warrants for the runaway Democrats who fled to Illinois. These lawmakers abandoned their posts in a desperate attempt to block the adoption of constitutionally redrawn U.S. House maps — maps supported by President Donald Trump and designed to reflect the will of Texas voters. Rather than engage in the legislative process, these Democrats chose to obstruct it, and now face the consequences of their dereliction of duty.

An undercover operation in Florida, labeled "Operation Seek and Ye Shall Find Out," led to the arrests of 48 men, including 6 illegal aliens. The sting against child sex predators lasted for six days in Marion County, Florida. The report from the Marion County Sheriff's Office said the men used various social media platforms, including Snapchat and dating apps, to meet children and to coordinate physical meetings. Undercover officers interacted with the men, who believed they were communicating with 13-15 year old children. The alleged predators possessed condoms, guns, alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, and other drugs at the time of their arrests, according to investigators.

 The left found and crowned their legal avenger: Jack Smith, their remedy in very fine suits to four years of Trump. In secret clubhouse meetings above their parents' garage, the left whispered reverently about Smith's independence, hailed his stoicism, and grasped him as a firewall between democracy and destruction. The right, however, looked at things differently. They saw Smith as a dogged, smirking prosecutor with a habit of filing charges just before primaries and playing a game of chicken with due process. Both sides, however, agreed on one thing: he was relentless.

If you’re wondering why the Democrats tried so hard to stop Trump from returning to the Oval Office, the past few weeks have made it very clear. The Russia collusion hoax has finally been exposed as the sham it always was—a massive intelligence scandal designed to undermine Donald Trump and to protect Hillary Clinton—all with the consent and coordination of the FBI and high-ranking officials in the Obama administration, including Obama himself. Journalist Matt Taibbi, who was once a contributing editor at Rolling Stone, has put all the recently uncovered pieces of the puzzle together in a damning post on Racket News. “Now, we know,” he writes.

The family of one of the black suspects caught on viral video beating up white people in downtown Cincinnati made the incendiary claim that the only reason the assault made national news is that one victim was a white woman.

U.S.-Bound Illegal Immigration Through

Migrant crossings at Panama’s Darien Gap plunged to nearly nothing in May and June, an important indicator of illegal immigration to the United States. The Darien Gap, situated between Colombia and Panama, serves as one of the world’s primary gateways for would-be illegal aliens hoping to cross the U.S.-Mexico border. This week, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that migrant crossings at the Darien Gap dropped 99.98 percent for May and June of this year compared to crossings in August 2023 — when U.S.-bound illegal immigration through that treacherous jungle had peaked. For example, in a single month under former President Joe Biden, migrant crossings at the Darien Gap exceeded 82,000.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) is declaring “war” on Republicans over plans in Texas proposing a new congressional map, likely resulting in five pickups for the GOP. Hochul ranted about President Donald Trump and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R), deeming the governor a “co-conspirator” and asserting that they both are eroding democracy and “drag[ging] us toward authoritarianism.” “Now what Texas and Republican states are doing at the direction of Donald Trump, I say, is nothing short of a legal insurrection against our capital,” she said. “Legal meaning, they’re using the legal process — [it] does not mean it’s legal, and it must be stopped.”

As expected, Texas Democratic legislators have fled the state to deny a quorum for Gov. Greg Abbott's redistricting push. The members flew to Illinois on Sunday, which qualifies as peak irony given that the blue state is arguably the most gerrymandered in the country. This plan was reportedly hatched with Gov. JB Pritzker (D-IL), and the 30 odd Democrats will spend at least a week there. Given what we saw when they did this in 2021, denying a quorum for an election reform vote, there is no doubt a lot of grandstanding, dramatics, and cringe singing on the way.

Recently, a large group of black youths began pummeling white adults in downtown Cincinnati. The original altercation apparently broke out between a black and white male in he-said/he-said fashion. But that dispute soon turned into a virtual free-for-all. Numerous male and female black youths sucker-punched a middle-aged woman. Others continued to kick or body slam the victims. There were many disturbing aspects to the beat-downs. One, the violence broke out along racial and age fault lines. After the initial dispute, groups of black youths swarmed solitary older white bystanders to pound them. Two, the surrounding assembled group of black youths not only failed to intervene to restrain the bullies.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has decided to order a full military occupation of the Gaza Strip to force Hamas to free the hostages, according to local reports. The expansion of the war would see the military, which already controls about 75% of Gaza, take over the remaining areas and conduct operations where the hostages are believed to be held, the Jerusalem Post reported. The move was reportedly made without the input of the Israeli military’s chief of staff Eyal Zamir — with Netanyahu instructing him to fall in line or resign, according to the internal memo sent out.
