It is my understanding that after the Civil War, that Texas was the only state that did not cede any land back to the federal government. Although their may be bases, it's the fact that the land does not fall under the federal corporation, ie Warranty Deeds. Anybody from Texas want to chime in?
under the treaty of annexation in exchange for 4 or 5 states worth of land east New Mex/ OK/CO/KS/WY Texas kept all it’s public lands fed paid $5,000,000 and assumed all Republic of TX debt which they were supposed to pay off in silver but instead paid off in US bonds the sorry crooks
that’s why Texas has $$$ in it’s permanet university fund they keep the mineral rights to what land they do sell/lease

Contrary to tweet posted above, I believe the Supreme Court will remind the Administration that they are there to ENFORCE the laws as they currently exist, and that Texas is within "the lines" of the law, enforcing what the Feds refuse to.
We can hope, but the Supreme Court has gone into left field before. This feels like it could be a tipping point for our Republic. If the SC sides with Biden the Constitution loses another big piece of power keeping the Union intact. If the SC sides with the Constitution, then it remains to be seen if Biden follows it. With his term almost being over there is still lots of damage he can do.

It is all related to a post made by cub. Follow it back to her comment directly related to the OP.
all things work together for good. One man’s ” that’s just a conspiracy theory“ (hogwash) is another man’s “have you not heard”...

none of our opinions seem to matter a bit to any one in DC, but on a forum that allows the freedom to exercise our opinions in discussions about what is “actually taking place before our eyes”, I say, listen carefully to all the voices that aren’t merely trolls.

btw, Eagles Pass, TX (In this thread) and Mars Hill, ME (recently came up in unrelated subject matter online) but oddly both are on the path of the very next solar eclipse coming in April 8 which criss crosses the path of the total solar eclipse 7 years ago on August, 2017. The signs in the Heaven should have everyone’s attention now, but many continue in ignorance which abounds. The point I am trying to make right now is that the path of the next eclipse is related to what the Lord -imho- is trying to show all of us the spiritual importance of what is happening in Eagle Pass -including the very recent visit there by Congressmen- as we speak.

since I have irritated you I will bow out of this now.

From what I hear, the solar eclipse line will cross the Darien Gap.

You know, I am seeing a lot of Sabor rattling in the skies. Including not seeing like OKC.

But with this being a three-sided coin, it looks to me that someone is looking for a bigger wad of tobacco before it gets to the courts.

Texas Department of Public Safety has closed and taken over a park in Eagle Pass on the banks of the Rio Grande against the wishes of city officials, Eagle Pass Mayor Rolando Salinas said Thursday.

If I was of the correct age I would be heading to Texas to join their National Guard as they are now the front line of defense of our country. I hope young men from other States realize this and join the Texas NG.
Key word, National Guard as in Organized Militias of the United States. It's the Army National Guard which requires the same qualifications as the R.A. Regular Army. Each State does have a Military Dept. but may call it something else, such as Adjutant General's Office, Office of the Adjutant General, et.

Texas has a separate Military Dept. section Texas State Militia which is similar to the California State Militia also known as the Governor's Twenty. Some have the State Military Reserve as an adjunct to the National Guard. Some States may have updated their pronunciation as La Guardia de la Nacional (just kidding, gosh!)

BREAKING: TEXAS DEPLOYS RIOT GEAR AT BORDER

Texas National Guard has apparently adopted riot gear in Eagle Pass to halt illegal crossings.

After seizing Shelby Park and kicking out U.S. Federal Border Patrol, the Texas Guard has intensified efforts, deploying new strategies to stop migrant entry.

Biden administration countered with a Supreme Court filing challenging Texas' border actions.

See I'm confused on the seize part.
I pulled a map up and this clearly looks like a state park.
It already belongs to the state.
It's closed to visitors now.

Guarantee the supposed emergency was created by cartel human smugglers either by forcing a family that couldn't make it, into the river there, or by drowning illegal immigrants themselves. Probably with the Congressman and crooked BP in communication with them.

NEW: TX Congressman @RepCuellar says three migrants - a woman & two children - drowned while illegally crossing the river near Shelby Park in Eagle Pass last night. He claims TX soldiers refused to “grant access” to the migrants. This is where TX seized control, kicked Feds out.

i hope that sends a message to the rest of the would be invaders/replacement units.

There should be a lot more drownings to hang on FJB border policies. The blame falls squarely on his shoulders.

NEW: The Texas Military Department has released a statement denying TX Congressman @RepCuellar’s claim that TX soldiers blocked Border Patrol from rescuing drowning migrants and refused to offer assistance themselves near Shelby Park in Eagle Pass.

FULL STATEMENT:

“The Texas Military Department is aware of a social media post concerning the drownings of 3 migrants.

TMD was contacted by Border Patrol at approximately 9:00pm in reference to a migrant distress situation. TMD had a unit in the vicinity of the boat ramp and actively searched the river with lights and night vision goggles. No migrants were observed.

At approximately 9:45pm TMD observed a group of Mexican authorities responding to an incident on the Mexico-side of the river bank. TMD reported their observations back to Border Patrol and they confirmed that the Mexican authorities required no additional assistance. At that time TMD ceased search operations.

At no time did TMD security personnel along the river observe any distressed migrants, nor did TMD turn back any illegal immigrants from the US during this period. Also, at no point was TMD made aware of any bodies in the area of Shelby Park nor was TMD made aware of any bodies being discovered on the U.S. side of the border regarding this situation.

TMD maintains water rescue equipment and actively works with local EMS to aid migrants in need of medical care.”

I hope there is a special place in hell for those who say false things for votes/likes, or out of pure ignorance and not being committed to telling the truth.
There was a day and time when if you did not have the facts you kept your mouth shut, or paid a price for it...now, this will work like the "horsewhipping" story some poster mentioned up thread.
..Never happened but the lying narrative will become what is "known" and "believed" just the same.


Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_

The Biden administration once again pushed a false narrative at the border, now refuted by their own DOJ.

White House claim: “On Friday night, a woman and two children drowned near Eagle Pass, and Texas officials blocked U.S. Border Patrol from attempting to provide emergency assistance.”

DOJ filing: The migrants had already drowned at 8pm, and Border Patrol didn’t inform Texas until an hour later at 9pm.

This, like the horseback patrol “whipping” claims - took off as a false narrative, generating headlines that claimed Texas blocked a federal rescue effort, leading to the drownings of three migrants. The DOJ now confirms, those migrants had been deceased for an hour before Texas was even alerted about it.

It is not my estimation of age ruling a person in or out of the Guard. It is the Guards Rules. As for me when it comes to war I have no rules. Yes I still have skills.
Just another of FJB's miscalculations.

He thinks his BLM/Antifa thuglets are unstoppable.

He forgot about the vets and disenfranchised middle class who have serious stalking, field craft skills and are flat-out pissed at his crap treatment of We, the People.

Go on Joe; launch.

State Troopers ARRESTING illegal migrants at Shelby Park in Eagle Pass, Texas..
So what happens to them after they are arrested?
There is no jail big enough to hold all of them. And what would be the point if they were put in jail because they will be released at some point (after they are fed and healed).
Are they deported? If so is it just across the border so they can come across again a half-mile away?
If they are deported a longer distance, how does that even help?
Pointless. Futile.

There is no answer because what needs to be done will NEVER happen.
Texas would be better off just skipping the Border Patrol and instead placing all of them on buses immediately to be shipped out. Which would also do nothing for our country but might save Texas some money.

The state could do a lot more but they are not, they can arrest border patrol and keep them detained and go as far to issue a arrest warrant for the director of home land security, if need be offer a reward for him alive.

Hi Biden, this guy reportedly just crossed over your border illegally:

“You’re not smart enough to know who I am. But soon you’re gonna know who I am. Everyone will.”
