@LuvTX76 @mike_frags Dude, I have lived in TX all my 55 yrs. I don't like Abbott either, so I get your angst. Not really a great solution, but Paxton at AG would be FIRE.

@emit151 @mike_frags NO. YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT TEXAS POLITICS! Greg Abbott will select either a RINO, a Muslim, an Indian or a Pakistani. He is not a Conservative any longer. He lives in the globalist, Bush-Soros-Obama world. He is not who he presents himself to be. Paxton needs to be in the Senate

Another very obvious pick for AG is to follow the Mullin precedent and find a MAGA warrior from the Senate. I can’t think of a better pick there than Mike Lee. He’d be readily confirmed and hit the ground running!

@GrageDustin Elect Paxton, get him sworn in, THEN offer him the AG job. Gov Wheels gets to pick the new Senator. Win/win.

A lot of you are throwing Ken Paxton’s name out there to be Attorney General. This is a dumb idea when we’re on the brink of retiring John Cornyn.

@alexthechick Agreed. My question is, can it be fixed with simple, majority vote legislation or does it require a new Amendment?

THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE SUPREME COURT IS TO CARE ONLY ABOUT CONSTITUTIONALITY! CONSTITIONAL BUT STUPID IS, IN FACT, A PROPER RULING! I am going to go bleach a whole forest of people's oxygen trees.

🚨 BREAKING: SecWar Pete Hegseth has just OVERTURNED the rule that banned guns at US military installations for personnel Long overdue! 🇺🇸 "Our warfighters defend the right of others to carry. They should be able to carry themselves!" "Recent events like what happened at Fort Stewart, Holloman Air Force Base, or Pensacola Naval Air Station have made clear that some threats are closer to home than we would like." "In these instances, minutes are a lifetime, and our service members have the courage and training to make those precious short minutes count." "Before today, it was virtually impossible. Most people probably don't know this. It was virtually impossible for War Department personnel to get permission to carry and store their own personal weapons aligned with the state laws where we operate our installations." "I mean, effectively, our bases across the country were gun-free zones!" "Unless you're training or unless you are a military policeman, you couldn't carry." "You couldn't bring your own firearm for your own personal protection on to post. Well, that's no longer. The memo I'm signing today directs installation commanders to allow requests for personal protection to carry a privately owned firearm with the presumption that it is necessary for personal protection." "If a request is for some reason denied, the reason for that denial will be in writing and will explain in detail the basis for that direction." "Again, the presumption is service members will be able to have their amendment right on post. Not all enemies are foreign, nor are they all outside our borders." "Confirming your God-given right to self-protection is what I'm signing into action today, and I'm proud to do so."

@TheLastRefuge2 I would pay good money to watch a video of a hidden camera recording Loomer and Hillary locked in a room together for a week.

Loomer be like....

@waronweakness I don't like Dickens - sue me. C.S. Lewis and Mark Twain are my type of writers - very quotable, because they write the way someone would talk.

Writing gurus : "Write short sentences and don't use big words" Charles Dickens in the first sentence of Oliver Twist: "Among other public buildings in a certain town, which for many reasons it will be prudent to refrain from mentioning, and to which I will assign no fictitious name, there is one anciently common to most towns, great or small: to wit, a workhouse; and in this workhouse was born - on a day and date which I need not trouble myself to repeat, inasmuch as it can be of no possible consequence to the reader, in this stage of the business at all events - the item of mortality whose name is prefixed to the head of this chapter.

@TheLastRefuge2 That picture is nucking futz.

@OwenShroyer1776 I have had only one - for Travis County, where I haven't lived in over 20 years, lol. I turned off all the ones I can turn of in my settings.

I've had 3 emergency phone alerts today as part of a Emergency Response System test happening in Texas.

This cop lied and told the judge that the J6er on trial cut that tarp. So we showed the judge this video of that same cop cutting the tarp with his own knife, not the J6er. Judge said no problem, no perjury charges for the cop, and swept it under the rug. The J6er went to prison anyway and the cop got away with his crimes. That isn’t justice, that’s the MOB covering for its own crimes, the very definition of our government. Welcome to the Golden Era, right? x.com/BenKaxton/stat…

@WaaaaatHappened @mike_frags If Paxton wins the primary next month, Cornyn is out. If Paxton wins the seat in November, Trump can pluck him from Senate and governor wheels picks his replacement.

@emit151 @mike_frags Dude, why does everyone just assumes Texans deserve Cornyn to backstab us for another 4 yrs after Trump out in 2029 to exchange for an AG position.

@greavesofwar @grok @polidemitolog Yes, I know. European countries put tariffs on the products we bought from them. We told them to.

@emit151 @grok @polidemitolog A tariff is paid by the buyer, not by the seller.

Americans can't swallow the fact that their country is profiting from being in Europe, because they can't stomach the fact that their country is the hegemon and not an action movie hero sacrificing himself for others in need.

@AlecLace Ken Paxton after he wins Senate seat in TX.

🚨 Who’s the next Attorney General after Pam Bondi? Popular names floating around: - Harmeet Dhillon - Ron DeSantis - Mike Davis - Todd Blanche (now Acting AG) Who else should Trump tap? Drop your picks 👇

@ZubyMusic Lived my first 50 years in Austin, TX. Was an amazing place to grow up. Can confirm it is borderline shithole now.

It genuinely pains me to see great places slowly destroying themselves through terrible policies and bad leadership.

@TristinHopper War killed the aggressive risk takers and largely removed them forever from the gene pool. War tends to do that.

Europeans started *two world wars* in 20 years. Obviously some wussification was needed.

Some of history's greatest achievements are turning whole peoples into wusses. We turned steppe archers into wusses. Vikings. Any number of North American raiding societies. It's just that we've hit the wuss button a little too hard these last few decades.

After the Trump Tax Cuts, the share of taxes paid by the rich went UP. Data from the House Ways and Means Committee shows lower income Americans saw larger tax relief. Facts matter, even if Democrats won’t admit it.

@TakeThatNurses @twtUsername22 @PoliticsJunkie9 @Geiger_Capital Lol - maybe read my post again. Lawbreakers includes felons, but wasn't the focus of my post - which was specifically about illegal aliens.

@emit151 @twtUsername22 @PoliticsJunkie9 @Geiger_Capital Are you saying that felons aren’t allowed to have babies?

Justice Alito once again nails it… If a Chinese or Iranian person enters our country illegally and has a child here, their child is automatically a citizen of that foreign nation, and is even required to fight for that nation. How are they not "subject to" a foreign nation?

@grok @SnappyTurtle73 @ryanswalters73 So, assuming your reading is correct, what is the easiest way for Congress to address birthright citizenship to NOT apply to illegal alien's or visa holder's children? Specifically legislation that does not require a 2/3 majority vote?

Using standard English grammar, the clause "persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers" treats "foreigners, aliens" as the subject modified by the relative clause "who belong to the families...". This specifies one narrow class: children of diplomats (not subject to U.S. jurisdiction). It does not broadly exclude all non-citizens or foreigners. The "but will include every other class" confirms the rest are citizens.

It’s so simple, only a complete moron, or TDS leftist, could possibly misunderstand it. A simple understanding of language, punctuation, and sentence structure helps too. Senator Jacob Howard of Michigan introduced the 14th amendment and said this: "This amendment which I have offered, is simply declaratory of what I regard as the law of the land already, that every person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons."

@SnappyTurtle73 @ryanswalters73 @grok @grok - please answer my question.

@SnappyTurtle73 @ryanswalters73 @grok Are you deciphering this sentence using standard English grammar or are you searching the internet for an answer. Please read again only using English grammar to decipher its meaning.
