You go Texas!

It is with a high degree of satisfaction that I’ve been watching the latest dust-up between the limp-dicked federal government and the state of Texas.

Sadly the Federal Government is limp-dicked in EVERY SINGLE aspect of their being except dealing with American Citizens.

American Citizens, our government rapes metaphorically, beats, incarcerates, drugs,  forces submission and obedience if a citizen questions anything, shits and pisses on our head and all the while tells us everything is just hunky dory.

Don’t you dare speak ill of the government! The FBI will kick your door in at 4am, shoot your dog who rightfully attempts to defend you and your family and haul you off to the nearest gulag where you’ll rot for the next indeterminant number of years. Speedy trial? Yeah, MY ASS!

It is because this is how I feel about the government that I’ve been laughing my ass off as Texas and the Feds square off.

You see, I think it’s pretty damn obvious that the Federal Government has failed in its constitutional duty to secure the nation. Texas on the other hand has had quite enough of the bullshit and has stepped up to secure its own border.

I’ll tell you what, if Texas stopped me as I was driving across country and passing through their territory to see my passport I’d be just fine with it. If Texas chooses to secure all its borders that’s gonna be just fine with me too, and I could see myself asking the great state of Texas if I could live there.

See, I want to live in a place with secure borders. I’d even be willing to help secure a border with a bunch of like minded volunteers.

Since the Federal Government has FAILED Texas, and Texans in managing the border, it’s completely rational to me that the State of Texas would take action to insure its own security and wellbeing.  The people of Texas have been very patient and kind for THREE YEARS!

Eventually anyone, no matter how big hearted, is going to run out of patience.

The question I have is what does the DHS think they’re going to do? Are they planning to roll tanks to Austin, or Eagle Pass, to enforce an illegal order from Washington D.C.?

What then? Do the MORONS in DHS and the White House really believe they’ll be able to set Texan against Texan to enforce the opening of this stretch of border again?

I think it’s more likely that Texas, and I mean the good people of Texas will say “FUCK THIS SHIT!” Then demand Texas secede from the Estados Unidos and revert back to being an independent republic. Oh and just so everyone is clear… They’re going to start drilling oil again too. So we’ll all be able to thank Texas for affordable fuel.

The latest report I saw said the DHS has given Texas until today for Texas National Guard to clear out and return control of the border to DHS and CBP.

In other words to just open the border and allow everyone and anyone to cross without vetting, inspection, or ID.

Hey, that means DHS is also perfectly happy being complicit in Sex and Drug trafficking. Is the big guy, (Biden) getting his 10% of that action too?

Will DHS be the relevant department for aggrieved citizens to sue when some Arab/ Iraq/ Iran/ Hamas/ Islamic/ whatever middle eastern fuck blows up a building full of women and children? Those are typical islamic targets if what we’ve seen in Israel is any indication.

That’s not being racist or Islamophobic. That’s a fucking statement of fact. So all you bleeding heart leftists… Shut the fuck up. It’s going to happen and we all know it’s going to happen. We just don’t know when.

Oh, I know you pearl clutching liberal dumbfcuks, “3 People drowned, because Texas took control…”

Uh NO. Yeah people drowned, but not as a direct result of Texas having control of the border. Here’s a couple of little facts. They’re harsh, and they’re going to trigger you.

Animals die during migrations. It’s a fact. Humans are animals, some animals die during migration, what’s happening at the border is migration, that’s why we call them migrants, ergo, humans are going to die. Deal with it!

I notice you’re not at all concerned about the homeless citizens already on the streets of cities all over America dropping dead from hunger, poor health care, exposure, or drugs. But somehow these poor migrants illegally crossing the border deserve heart wrenching sympathy?

Uhhh NOPE! They fucking chose to come here illegally. They fucking knew what they were doing was against the law. If they die in transit so the fuck what? I guarantee you that there are trails of bodies in the bushes all along the “Migration” paths. Nobody is shedding any tears for those folks who didn’t make it.

Here’s another thought. If you’re a migrant, (A.K.A. Illegal immigrant,) and you can’t swim…

MAYBE YOU SHOULDN’T BE CROSSING A DAMN RIVER!

What the fuck did you think was going to happen? Did you believe angels from El Norte were going to swoop in and pluck your dumb ass out of the water?

Thank god Darwinian rules are still in effect.

I’d say don’t bother to retrieve the bodies, let ‘em wash downstream and serve as an example. Same goes for those who die in the desert.

I know I sound brutal about it, but come on. At last count, the number of migrants has exceeded the actual populations of several states. Clearly this is fucking unsustainable.

On the other hand now would be a really great time to establish a false ID. Go to Mexico, send your documents back home via a friend or Mail. Cross the border illegally, get apprehended, then give CBP a false name. Collect your free phone, your 5K and notice to appear in 2035. Go to MA collect your driver’s license, and green card, then return to your home with a nice neat legal government issued fake ID. Oh and lets not forget that FREE Healthcare you can get in California as an illegal.

I really think if Texas were to break free of the suffocating clutches of what our insane federal government has become, I’d honestly consider moving to Texas!

Like my ancestors before me, I will be free, I will not submit to the hideous perversion our politicians have made of The Founders dream of a Constitutional Republic.

I’d be willing to bet that at least some of our founders would be demanding duels at dawn with the jackasses in Washington D.C.

Oh this is so out of control.

You’ve got to be kidding me!

This is nothing more or less than Piracy.

It harkens back to the Barbary Pirates of the 16th and 17th centuries. There were wars fought against these Pirates. Hey, guess what? They were Muslims too! Funny how that works.

These pirates are obviously well funded and you do have to wonder which country is providing the pilots, the weapons, and oh, the ships actual location or the manifest. This particular operation was supposed to be so the Houthis could seize an Israeli shipment.

I’d say we need to go back to the old mechanisms of deterring piracy. Shoot to kill. Dump the bodies overboard. I’m the kind of asshole that would allow them to land their pirates to determine that they are in fact pirates. Then start shooting the pirates on board, and make sure that a surface to air missile blows their transport right the fuck out of the sky.

I think that private mercenaries should be allowed to provide security for every single ship passing through the Gulf and the Red Sea.

BTW were those missile pods mounted on the helicopter? Really? isn’t that shit usually reserved for governments? I pray the armaments are not from Biden’s disastrous Afghanistan pull out.

I must be getting old, or people are just more insane.

I’ve recently come to the conclusion that I don’t want to live someplace where pot is legal.

I really don’t like the smell. Here in the neighborhood there’s a number of folks who smoke it all the dang time and even with their houses closed up for the winter, I can still smell the stuff.

That’s bad enough but it’s rather like someone smoking cigarettes or drinking in their own home, it’s their deal and who am I to judge.

Recently, I’ve noticed that I can’t go anywhere anymore without smelling pot. Sitting in traffic at a stop light, in parking lots, and near office buildings.

I can’t help but notice that some of these places I couldn’t light up a Marlboro, but someone smoking pot is oakey dokey.

Unlike cigarettes pot is an intoxicant. Pot is more like alcohol, but people are smoking pot while driving just like we old farts used to smoke cigarettes. This concerns me, and I think might be one of the reasons that driving in California has gotten so damn bad. More people than ever before are essentially drunk driving.

Sitting in traffic with my windows down, I’m getting hotboxed too. Why should I have to keep my windows up and the A/C running because you guys want to smoke pot in traffic? Furthermore why can’t I go back to smoking Marlboros?

Oh Right… Smoking cigarettes is bad for you, but smoking pot is healthy. So the effects of second hand pot smoke aren’t bad? How about second hand intoxication? What about the children riding with mommy and daddy smoking pot in the car?

Today people gasp in shock and horror when they realize people in my generation were trapped in cars with our parents smoking cigarettes. But there’s no similar outrage with pot? Talk about a double standard!

Is it any surprise that jobs aren’t getting done well?  How many fast food orders have you had screwed up? How many places have you been shopping only to find there is no organization to the merchandise?

I’ve been noticing it. I’d been pondering it until I was sitting at a traffic light with three cars around me reeking of pot.

Then watching these folks drive and thinking they were drunk, everything clicked in my head.

They were in fact intoxicated. They shouldn’t have been driving. This was midday on a weekday, I couldn’t help but wonder where these people worked.

Then I thought about the quality of the work they’d be doing.

These are the same people who are appalled that in addition to my having an ashtray on my desk at work, I’d sometimes have a beer at lunch then go back to work. At the time, I was a bench technician and my workstation had a soldering iron. The rosin in the solder was probably worse for me than my Marlboro smoldering in the ashtray.

Please notice, I said “A Beer” not a six pack.

The funny thing is that a joint might fuck you up. A single beer probably won’t impair you at all. These days, your company will say you’re not allowed to have a beer at lunch under threat of immediate termination. But they’ll say nothing about that “Medicinal” joint at lunch.

I’ve got another datapoint to work with when it comes to moving. The list is growing…

Four Seasons but with only decorative snow. I’m over 2 – 10 feet of snow falling in one storm. I like the fall change of leaves and gentle snowfall with accumulation that doesn’t last too long.
No State tax.
No Legalized Pot
Low Auto Registration, $500 a year to register a car? Really?
Generally homogeneous demographics, I’m over “Diversity”. California making me feel like I should speak Spanish instead of English has burned through my diversity quota.
Low Property Taxes.
Good Law Enforcement.
Strong constitutional beliefs. In other words no monkey shines with The Constitution when some activist group gets all mouthy about how they think we should live. I am totally over  being told that I have to live my life to spare someone else’s feelings.
I might be content with someplace that looks a lot like Mayberry. That might be a little too boring, but I’d be willing to give it a try for a while.


As an aside,

Trying to find out about Marlboros is stupidly difficult. Finding pictures of the logo and various boxes is more or less easy but there are a bunch of new packages so since I was a Marlboro smoker I was curious. MY GOD!!! I never did get to just identifying what these new packages were. They want your to register, and then answer a bunch of legal shit, then agree to be on their mailing list, then verify your age, then make sure that you’re in a country where they can send you information.

FUCK!!!!

On the other hand, I can tell you anything at all about pot.

The one thing I was able to determine is that California charges an excise tax of $2.87 on every pack of smokes and that the feds charge $1.01. so $3.88 of every pack of smokes is excise taxes which doesn’t include the sales tax in whatever county you’re in. It looks like California s charging 22% on pot.

Obviously since pot is still illegal on a federal level there isn’t any federal tax on pot. California is making a killing!

Not being able to just look something up annoys the shit out of me. This registration and age and double secret handshake crap is simply designed to make people not want to ask questions.

Asking about cigarettes doesn’t mean you’re going to start smoking. It means that you had a question. It’s not technically censorship but it’s damn close. Apparently Phillip Morris makes e-cigs but they’re only in Europe and therefore the web sites redirect you to a page saying “NO NO NO YOU NAUGHTY PERSON” you’re not allowed to see this. Which is censorship…

VPNs with servers in Europe make that a nothing barrier. Nothing aside from annoyance and reminding us that surprise! We’re not actually free.

I don’t recall voting for any censorship on the internet at all, so why is it there?
