The Official Greg Abbott is Doing Awesome Thread

You'll do the old bell & steeple shuffle when your time grows near, Frency. You'll grab the walker and shuffle on into a church, any old church will do THEN.

Never fails.

I guess if you're in the ME then any old mosque will do

Gov. Greg Abbott is using a disaster declaration to help fund a border wall. Democrats say it’s an overreach of executive powers.

The disaster declarations give the governor broad power to suspend state laws and regulations that hinder a jurisdiction’s recovery from a disaster and to allow the use of available resources to respond to the disaster.

The disaster declarations give the governor broad power to suspend state laws and regulations that hinder a jurisdiction’s recovery from a disaster and to allow the use of available resources to respond to the disaster.

Then, on May 31 the two-term Republican governor who is seeking reelection next year

took the unprecedented step of declaring a disaster for 34 counties

based on an increase of illegal immigration at the Texas-Mexico border.

The declaration allowed Abbott to request the reallocation of

$250 million of legislatively appropriated funds toward a border wall construction project pushed by his office.

HOLE Texas Governor’s ‘Patriotic Education’ Law Puts Propaganda Over History

When former President Donald Trump, in September 2020, called for

mandatory "patriotic education"

for students in the United States, Democrat Susan Rice — former national security adviser under President Barack Obama — was appalled and told CNN's Erin Burnett,

"I thought I was listening to Mao Tse Tung running Communist China."

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott recently signed into law a bill that calls for "patriotic education" in the Lone Star State.

"The 1836 Project promotes patriotic education about Texas and ensures that the generations

to come understand Texas values." which are?

"patriotic education" hasn't been clearly defined and fear that it will promote a narrow, rigid definition of patriotism.

Does it mean we only select the high points and good points in Texas history?

Well, what happens (then) to the other events in Texas history —

where historical actors committed offenses and atrocities against ... (the) Native American people and.... the Mexican-American people?"

Texas House Bill 3979, which bans the teaching of the New York Times' 1619 Project in public schools.

one is seeing a pattern of Republicans in that state downplaying the United States' history of racism or trying to pretend that it doesn't exist.

[HB 3979] actually puts some very specific restrictions on what and how teachers can teach in the classroom in the State of Texas.

And that's not something that you want to publicize as a politician —

that you're going to be limiting what teachers can say and do in the classroom."

DAVY CROCKETT SURRENDERED?!

JIM BOWIE, A SLAVE TRADER?!

SAM HOUSTON, A COKE ADDICT?!

In their new book, Forget the Alamo, three Texans bust the myths about that famous “last stand” in San Antonio

The story of the Alamo is simple, right?

Davy Crockett, Jim Bowie, William Barret Travis, and a bunch of their friends come to Texas to start new lives,

suddenly realize they are being oppressed by the Mexican dictator Santa Anna,

and rush off to do battle with him at an old Spanish mission in San Antonio.

They are outnumbered but fight valiantly and die, to a man,

buying Sam Houston enough time to defeat Santa Anna at the Battle of San Jacinto.

As almost any Texan will tell you, their sacrifice turned the Alamo into the cradle of Texas liberty.

The problem is that much of what you think you know about the Alamo is wrong.

What you just read?

That’s the Alamo myth.

The actual story, well, it’s a lot more complicated.
