Texas Military MOBILIZES for SHOWDOWN at the Southern Border

Something I did not know and I suspect many do not know, but it is NOT the National Guard at the Southern border but the state of Texas's own military! Texas has a military branch not connected with the Federal Government.

I bet most democrats support the feds taking out patriots. Bastards.


You say “most” but I disagree. The Democrats (like Republicans) only have around 30% hardcore support. The rest are more Democrat or Republican because that was what their family were and never bothered to change. Then there is the mushy middle that latches on to one cause or the other and will support which ever side sounds good to them at the time.

The Democrats are losing on this issue. The longer it goes on the worse it is for them. The use of force would be counter productive (but then Biden or his handlers might not care) and it would turn the mushy middle against the administration as well as ending in the impeachment of both Biden and Harris.

Military standards come and go depending on the current needs and they frequently change but the state militia is tiny and stable and probably doesn’t need that sort of marketplace adaptations.

A State Guard that has almost no equipment, little training, and no combat capabilities. They’re somewhat useful for admin stuff but that’s it.

See post 17, they are mostly to help during emergencies, not to fight.

I think it would be wise to proactively process the paperwork so that any Texan National Guard member could transfer to the State Guard simply by voice agreement. No loss of rank or time in service. Also designate the area between razor wire row one and razor wire two as free fire zones.

“Hopefully this will wake up some people to the fact that our government IS under enemy occupation as if it wasn’t blindingly obvious already.”

Enemy occupation that they illegally seized via a stolen election.

“Look where we are: a state is being threatened by the feds because they put up a barrier to keep an invading horde of illegal military age men and drug runners from overrunning the border.”

Honest question. If someone had told you 15 years ago that any of this madness would be happening right here in the US....

would you have believed it? Or would you have called them a “wacko conspiracy theorist”? I have a very vivid imagination coupled with an inherent distrust of big government... but I couldn’t have even imagined what we’re witnessing daily. I also had a lot more trust in the ability of the American people to choose wisely back then. And then they elected Obama.

I am new to this.

How can Texas have it’s own military? Was it apart of annexation agreement with the United States way back when?

They can stand there in uniform and make Biden’s minions move them out of the way.

Your BS meter is broken then. Look it up. Texas does have it’s own military.

Now are any of those troops national guard that are at the border? I don’t know but I do know Texas has their own military. It’s mainly used for disasters in the past, but I guess this qualifies as a disaster too.
