There is 100 million dollars of wall panels already built and paid for being stacked and stored in Pharr after Biden cancelled the contracts. Maybe Texas can buy them at scrap prices and install them?

Greg Abbott is abusing National Guard troops to staff a Potemkin village
Over the past three months, the Army Times (https://www.armytimes.com/news/your-army/2021/10/26/texas-slashes-guard-benefits-while-spending-millions-to-expand-border-mission/) has chronicled habitual pay problems for soldiers on the mission and reported on suicides by soldiers tied to the mission (https://www.armytimes.com/news/your-army/2021/12/23/wave-of-suicides-hits-texas-national-guards-border-mission/). On Tuesday, Allen West, a GOP candidate for governor, criticized Abbott's handling of the mission (https://www.texastribune.org/2022/01/04/allen-west-greg-abbott-national-guard-border/) and called on the Texas Military Department's top leader to resign. West, a former lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army, said soldiers had also reached out to him about unsanitary conditions in camps and a lack of proper equipment.https://www.texastribune.org/2022/01/07/texas-border-national-guard-pay-suicides/

Texas voter registration stalled by supply chain issues. Registrations on old stock is no longer accepted because Texas enhanced the penalty for illegal voting and the old stock doesn't reflect that.
Online registration would be a no brainer if Republicans wanted more Texans to vote, but they don't.

After VN, you have to stupid or naive to join the military and get fucked up by fucked up politicians
On the border, chasing delays in pay and fewer migrants, some Texas guardsmen are losing faith
they spend up to 14 hours a day in a usually fruitless search for “IAs” — illegal aliens.
They might see one or two while doing without one of the basics — a toilet.
It’s not the only thing these GIs resent.
They said they have no clue when the mission will end. . Some have gone without pay.
The issues of pay shortages and hardships connected to service with Operation Lone Star, the guard’s sprawling border operation that is a response to a surge of migrants in spring 2021, have
... persisted despite assurances by the National Guard and state officials downplaying issues and saying they have been resolved. :lol
one soldier manning his post last week said he still gets hundreds of dollars less per paycheck than he should.
Several said two unpaid GIs have gone on strike, refusing to work and staying in their border area housing.
The mission will last “as long as necessary” to respond to Abbott’s disaster declaration on the border, :lol political stunt at least until the election?

How Gov. Abbott's border crackdown is backfiring,
giving more migrants a clearer path to the U.S.
Operation Lone Star is having the opposite effect, according to defense attorneys and a county official who handle the state’s criminal cases against the migrants.
Instead of sitting in jail for 6 months to a year on trespassing charges, as Abbott suggested,
some immigrants are resolving their cases in far less time or being released from jail on bond.
They are then free to stay in the U.S. as they make their claims for asylum.
Abbott’s Operation Lone Star is a short cut around Trump-era border policies that call for the expulsion of most migrants from the country before they can submit asylum claims,
or allow federal authorities to expel them to Mexico as they await their court hearings.

Good work Chrissy. In ALL matters involving their children...
A wave of anti-transgender bills across the country would ban health care providers from offering gender-affirming care to minors. But a smaller number are targeting parents who support their transgender kids’ desire to transition, levying punishments that critics say could range from jail time to having their children taken away.
A bill (https://legiscan.com/TX/text/SB1646/2021) heard in committee in the Texas Senate on Monday would redefine child abuse to include administering, supplying or consenting to provide puberty suppression drugs, hormone replacement therapy, or surgical or medical procedures to anyone under 18 “for the purpose of gender transitioning or gender reassignment.”

Texas Tribune/Military Times story on Greg Abbott using the Texas National Guard as an electoral prop and wrecking the lives of guardsmen who can't do shit about illegal immigration.
Faced with a humanitarian crisis along the Rio Grande, pressured by conservative rivals and chided by right-wing cable pundits, Gov. Greg Abbott (https://www.texastribune.org/directory/greg-abbott/) decided last fall to move thousands of troops to the border as quickly as possible. And the Texas Military Department, which oversees the state’s National and State Guard branches, did all it could to comply — with haste.
Never before has Texas — or any other state — involuntarily activated so many troops under state active duty authority for such a long-term mission. Nor has it been done so quickly.
A few days after being told he’d likely sit the deployment out, the NCO was ordered to report within 72 hours, he said. If he didn’t, his commanders told him, the state would issue an arrest warrant.
“I had to cancel $60,000 worth of business contracts,” the NCO, who requested anonymity because he feared retaliation from Guard leaders, said in a text to Army Times and The Texas Tribune. His employees all quit.

After “three weeks of sitting on my ass with zero task or purpose,” he was sent home. But it may be too late to save his business. He says he still hasn’t found a new project and had to sell his company’s van to pay his mortgage, car payments and business loans.
“I didn’t want to get out of bed for a week,” the soldier said. “I was unemployed … and [I] felt exactly as if [the Texas Military Department] put me there because of their … lack of planning and leadership.”

“Instead of solving [pay, lack of equipment, and family or employer hardships], more energy was spent on hiding or covering up problems rather than fixing them,” Featherston argued. “Families [have been] impacted forever.”

In the Brownsville area, some of the state’s most elite troops — its Air National Guard cyber operations forces — are “sitting at a watch point for hours on end with their thumbs up their ass doing nothing,” a member of the cyber unit said.
A junior soldier assigned to a post along Falcon Lake near Zapata said he and his peers spend their days “staring” at the lake.
Does he ever see migrants? “Nope, not even once,” he said. “Just people fishing.”
“Send [us] to critical areas where there is a major need for assistance,” he said. “I will do my job as a soldier and Guardsman, but I just want to be used effectively.”
Another soldier said he supports the “intent of the mission,” but not “its poor execution and the rush to failure.”
“A lot of these issues could have been mitigated had leadership taken a step back and thought of the soldiers for a minute,” he said. “They made this huge deal and rushed everybody out here, and all we're doing is staring into nothing.”

This week’s freezing temperatures and winter storms in Texas led to far fewer power outages than a similar freeze last year. But worryingly, a handful of Texas counties with high rates of power outages also have high numbers of people who need power for medical devices, according to a new analysis by the data group CrisisReady.
Losing electricity in bitter cold is always dangerous, but it’s particularly scary for people who rely on it to keep medical devices like ventilators running. The new analysis pulled federal data on Medicare beneficiaries to identify counties with high numbers of people using electricity-dependent medical equipment. It found that six such counties had more than 1 percent of the population out of power at one point during the storm. Lamar County — home to under 50,000 people — had a high percentage of people without power and also has nearly 900 people dependent on medical devices that need electricity.

NOTE: Today the Texas House of Representatives passed HB 2771, a bill that would start the process of allowing oil and gas companies to dispose of their wastewater from fracking and other operations into surface water bodies in Texas. Surface water is the primary source of drinking water for most Texas cities, including Austin, Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington and Corpus Christi.

Good work Chrissy. In ALL matters involving their children...
A wave of anti-transgender bills across the country would ban health care providers from offering gender-affirming care to minors. But a smaller number are targeting parents who support their transgender kids’ desire to transition, levying punishments that critics say could range from jail time to having their children taken away.
A bill (https://legiscan.com/TX/text/SB1646/2021) heard in committee in the Texas Senate on Monday would redefine child abuse to include administering, supplying or consenting to provide puberty suppression drugs, hormone replacement therapy, or surgical or medical procedures to anyone under 18 “for the purpose of gender transitioning or gender reassignment.”

5 Texas DAs defy Gov. Greg Abbott, won't treat gender affirming care for trans youth as 'child abuse'
District attorneys representing five of Texas' largest counties (https://twitter.com/Dallas_DA/status/1496896055828434948) on Wednesday said they will not treat gender-affirming procedures for transgender youth as "child abuse," defying a push by the state's attorney general and governor to target the medical treatments.
The news comes a day after an order from Gov. Greg Abbott (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2022/02/23/greg-abbott-trans-kids-order/6914072001/) mandated the state's child welfare agency treat gender-affirming procedures as "child abuse," a move with potential legal consequences for both parents of transgender youth and any teacher or other authority figure who interacts with a trans child.
The district attorneys said they believe Gov. Abbott's order — and the legal opinion by Attorney General Ken Paxton on which the order is based — constitute "an egregious invasion of privacy."
"We will enforce the Constitution and will not irrationally and unjustifiably interfere with medical decisions made between children, their parents, and their medical physicians," said district attorneys representing more than 5 million people, including those in the cities of Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Sugar Land and Corpus Christi.

Texas loses appeal against transgender teen's family to treat gender-affirming care as 'child abuse'
A Texas court on Wednesday tossed out the state’s appeal of an order preventing child welfare officials from investigating the parents of a transgender teenager over gender-affirming care.
The Texas 3rd Court of Appeals dismissed Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton’s appeal of the temporary order a judge issued last week halting the investigation by the Department of Family and Protective Services into the parents of the 16-year-old girl.
The court ruled that the judge’s temporary order was not appealable.
The parents sued over the investigation and Republican Gov. Greg Abbott’s order that officials look into reports of such treatments as abuse. The lawsuit marked the first report of parents being investigated following Abbott’s directive and an earlier nonbinding legal opinion by Paxton labeling certain gender-confirming treatments as “child abuse.”
The appeals court’s decision clears the way for the judge to hold a hearing on whether to issue a broader temporary order blocking enforcement of Abbott’s directive.
An attorney for the parents said at a court hearing last week that he has heard of at least two other families facing Department of Family and Protective Services abuse investigations for gender-confirming care. A Dallas-area family said the department is investigating them, The 19th, a nonprofit news organization, reported Wednesday.

“We really don’t understand why we are there,” a service member told the Tribune. “We’re essentially mall security for ranches that already have paid security details to protect them.”
Representatives for the King and Armstrong ranches said they did not request the presence of the National Guard outside their ranches and that the troops were on the public right of way and not on their private property.
The service members are no longer stationed outside of the private ranches, service members said. They were removed in February, shortly after The Texas Tribune began asking questions about the deployment. Col. Rita Holton, a spokesperson for the Texas Military Department, said the agency could not comment on the deployment because of operational security concerns.https://www.texastribune.org/2022/03/16/texas-national-guard-king-ranch/

National Guard troops were dispatched to famous Texas ranches with private security as part of border mission
Earlier this year, about 30 Texas National Guard members were ordered to stand watch outside some of the wealthiest private ranches in South Texas
the troops were ostensibly meant to deter migrants and smugglers who might cross through private ranches to avoid detection at the U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint near the city of Sarita.
troops rarely saw migrants from their posts nearly 80 miles away from the border and were
unable to give chase because they were not authorized to enter the private ranches if they saw migrants cutting through.
they stood around for hours, staring at each other and the highway, outside the private ranches — some of which had their own private security.
“We really don’t understand why we are there,” a service member told the Tribune.
“We’re essentially mall security for ranches that already have paid security details to protect them.”
their time was wasted standing guard outside ranches with wealthy or politically connected owners when they could have been more useful at other posts closer to the border where they could be more effective to the mission,
King and Armstrong ranches said they did not request the presence of the National Guard outside their ranches
The dispatching of troops to wealthy private ranches raises more questions about the use of National Guard troops, who have widely decried the mission as aimless, political and oversized, as
the cost of the effort has already ballooned to $2 billion a year.
State leaders transferred nearly half a billion dollars to the Texas Military Department last month from three other state agencies to cover the mounting costs of keeping thousands of Texas National Guard troops on the southern border.
A leaked survey of members of one of the six Operation Lone Star units found widespread skepticism and frustration with the mission.
On Monday, Abbott replaced the Texas Military Department’s top leader after months of criticism. :lol
“These ranchers have enough money to do private security or have private security guard these gates,” said the second service member who spoke to the Tribune. “The optics are just kind of crazy.”
Jay Kleberg, ... said in a written statement that
Operation Lone Star is a “colossal waste of taxpayer dollars” and a “serious threat to the health and safety of our Texas National Guard.”

Biden officials fear "mass migration event" if COVID policies end
U.S. intelligence officials are privately bracing for a massive influx of more than 170,000 migrants at the Mexico border
if COVID-era policies that allow instant expulsions (https://www.axios.com/migrants-title-42-biden-admin-expulsions-appeals-court-a584913d-8404-45ba-a06d-865a939d19c4.html) during the public health emergency are ended,
Why it matters:
Border officials have used Title 42 more than 1 million times to rapidly expel migrants at the southern border without hearing asylum claims.
But the Trump-era order wasn't set up to be permanent, and senior Biden officials are preparing for its end as the virus is brought under control.
Department of Homeland Security intelligence estimates that perhaps 25,000 migrants already are waiting in Mexican shelters just south of the border for Title 42 to end.

Texas law barring state contractors from boycotting Israel violates firm’s free speech, federal judge rules
Texas is one of more than two dozen states with laws that seek to limit boycotts, divestments and sanctions of Israel over its treatment of Palestine.
Texas can’t forbid an engineering firm from boycotting Israel as part of its contract with Houston City Hall, a federal judge has ruled.
U.S. District Judge Andrew S. Hanen on Friday stopped short of fully blocking a state law that prohibits government agencies from doing business with certain companies that boycott Israel. But his ruling said the free speech rights of A & R Engineering and Testing Inc. would be violated if its contract with the city included a clause saying the company will refrain from such a boycott. Hanen also said that Texas could not enforce its law against the company or the city.
A & R Engineering and Testing Inc. is being represented by the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization. In a news conference Monday, the organization lauded Hanen’s decision but still pushed for the state’s anti-boycott law to be overturned.

Child abuse by the state agency that's supposed to investigate child abuse.
Greg Abbott's Texas.
Two Department of Family and Protective Services staffers have been fired over their handling of sex abuse allegations at a Texas-contracted foster care facility, the department head said Thursday.
The mid-level supervisors were released after failing to elevate allegations that an employee at The Refuge, a Bastrop center for survivors of sex trafficking, sold nude photos of two girls and used the money to provide them with drugs.

The next month, state workers twice classified The Refuge as “high risk” for the children staying there, but two managers failed to relay the incident, Masters said. One said the incident “slipped her mind,” and another said she was “disengaged.” The second manager had created an “unbelievable” culture in which employees believed they would be punished with additional work for bothering her with the reports, she said

Texas’ Governor Brags About His Border Initiative. The Data Doesn’t Back Him Up.
Arrests of U.S. citizens hundreds of miles from the border. Claiming drug busts from across the state. Changing statistics. We dug into the data Texas leaders use to boast about Operation Lone Star, and it raises more questions than answers.
Operation Lone Star has helped increase the state’s budget for border security to more than $3 billion through 2023 by deploying thousands of DPS troopers and National Guard members and allocating funding to build border barriers. As part of the operation, troopers are also arresting some immigrant men crossing into the U.S. on state criminal trespassing charges.
Abbott and DPS have repeatedly boasted in news conferences, on social media and during interviews on Fox News that the border operation has disrupted drug and human smuggling networks. A year into the operation, officials touted more than 11,000 criminal arrests, drug seizures that amount to millions of “lethal doses” and the referrals of tens of thousands of unauthorized immigrants to the federal government for deportation as signs that the program is effective.
But the state’s claim of success has been based on shifting metrics that included crimes with no connection to the border, work conducted by troopers stationed in targeted counties prior to the operation, and arrest and drug seizure efforts that do not clearly distinguish DPS’s role from that of other agencies, an investigation by ProPublica, The Texas Tribune and The Marshall Project found.
