In Eagle Pass, a tense border standoff between Texas and the federal government is reaching a crescendo
The Texas Tribune ^ | 1-22-24 | Uriel J. García

EAGLE PASS — On a chilly January afternoon, a military drone hovers over Shelby Park as Texas National Guard members pull boats from the Rio Grande and slide them onto trailers. Shipping containers topped with concertina wire line the riverbank, where men in fatigues erect a bilingual sign near the boat ramp that reads:

"No migrant processing at this location. Please proceed to nearest port of entry for processing with U.S. Border Patrol."

Some heavy stuff is coming down the pike in Texas. Could this be their Ft. Sumter moment?

Prayers up.

As the guy on the current FBI series (Jeremy Sisto) says: “There are a lot of ways this could go sideways real fast.”

Sign:

Not, “...No migrant processing at this location. Please ...”

GBut, “...No migrant processing at this location. Please return to your home...”

“NO TRESPASSING”

Right now, about half of the states have expressed their support for Texas. The list has been growing all day.

This might actually be their “Fort Sumter” moment.

I’m just waiting for the press to start comparing Biden to Lincoln. Should be amusing.

This will not be a “Ft. Sumter” moment.

And am willing to make a wager to that effect.

Please please everybody keep a cool head on you. Just remember J6 and what the feds did to all those innocent folks! They are so desperate to get another narrative to destroy Trump and the MAGA movement. I fear they are about to plant some feds to fire off some kind of commotion to draw Abbott into a fight. This is a fight between the governors that are backing up governor Abbott and the White House. Trump needs to keep out of it. …do not fall for the trap. Please, this is a red flag! Let Abbott fight the battle. It’s beginning to smell like entrapment by the White House and his evil administration.

Posse Comitatus Act.
“The Posse Comitatus Act bars federal troops from participating in civilian law enforcement except when expressly authorized by law. This 143-year-old law embodies an American tradition that sees military interference in civilian affairs as a threat to both democracy and personal liberty.”

The GOP should have gone after Shake and Bake after Waco.
This could be Waco II

Personally, I don’t think the Biden administration expected 25 Republican governors to support Texas in this matter. Notice I said Biden administration, not Biden. It’s what his handlers decide to do next.

BREAKING: Biden administration has told Texas the razor wire has to go.

Governor Abbott says he will not comply.

The federal government has given Texas a deadline of tomorrow to comply; a possible confrontation is imminent.


The deep state has been pushing and pushing for things to go “hot”. Conservatives have used the soap box and ballot box and refused to take the bait to go further. (It wasn’t conservatives on Jan 6th no matter what the left says).

IMHO, They NEED this confrontation to implement their final plans for our country. That is why they have created the situation on the border.

I see him more as a Buchanan. Both democrats, both watched the nation fall apart.

Texas Tribune article:

While he would prefer that migrants enter the country legally, he said understands it’s challenging because of the lack of legal pathways and he thinks the state’s response is unnecessary.

Translation->All we have to do is let the whole world in, problem solved.

The sign is wrong. The sign should say in spanish of course:

NO ILLEGAL ENTRY

GO BACK

LEAVE

PELIGRO!

IN OTHER WORDS, GTHO!

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

FURTHER TRESPASS WILL RESULT IN USE OF DEADLY FORCE!

Then do what James Garner did in Support Your Local Sheriff and slather some blood around.
