A shorter TAT today due to a long list of appointments, meetings and calls but, this one matters a great deal, not just to Texans but everyone experiencing record levels of gun violence and murdered school children.
Please stop complaining about your R-23 Congressman. At least you have someone who is passably sane. We used to be in R-23 and enjoyed voting for Congressman Will Hurd. Now we sit in R-21 with he who shall not be named. Sadly his only accomplishment is that he is not a neo-Bolshevik Democrat which is hardly a ringing endorsement.
Why would I not report the truth, based on a sitting US Congressman who had access to reporting and sat through the January 6th Hearings and still endorsed trump as recently as March. He’s been lying about the border since the change of administration but never said a word prior. Endorsing treason is not a trait to ignore in congressman.
No my friend, I don’t think I will stop reporting truth.
Sorry for the misunderstanding. Did not realize R-23 was on the January 6 Committee. Was merely trying to make the comparison that between your R-23 and my R-21 you have less to complain about.
TX 23 was not on the committee but sat through the hearings, like the rest of congress. I do agree about Congressman Roy and offer my most sincere condolences. Frankly, I'm pretty sure that I will not likely forgive any elected R who continued to support a known traitor, and the leader/ primary conspirator of the armed insurrection. This is especially true for those R reps who are Veterans, like Gonzalez. That he was still endorsing Trump at the end of last year tells me all that I need to know about his trustworthiness.
In fairness, I will see if he continues to moderate from disdainfully dishonest to any higher level of moral performance. When I hear him loudly apologize for failing his military and congressional oath and begin actively working against MAGA (atonement), I will give him another shot. This is not likely though.
Condolences accepted and appreciated. For the record, when R-23 first ran for this office in the GOP primary I voted for someone else. At the time I considered him a carpetbagger because he did not live in the district he wanted to represent. That level of dishonesty and political opportunism still colors my views of R-23. While I still consider him a political embarrassment unfortunately all the alternatives offered by the opposition party are exponentially far worse. I think this says something about the overall parlous state of Texas politics which is pervasive across all political parties.
Agreed and also, that Will Hurd is a good man. I was quite disappointed with his staff as that his office was in my neck of the woods. Will's ideas about the border were and still are valid opportunities for a reasonable strategy. Bottom line though is that our immigration issues cannot be solved with a fence, wall or Abbott's dumbassery of a couple football fields long, buoys.
The whole world is experiencing record migration issues and that will not change for the better anytime soon, if at all. The state sanctioned cruelty at the border is the antitheses of solid American values. We are a nation of immigrants practicing NIMBY (not in my back yard) strategies to thwart a problem bigger than the whole world can currently manage, even if we tried. Culture wars only get in the way of solutions, regardless of who starts them.
