Again, it never ceases to amaze me how stoopid they think we are:
Biden: ‘I’ve Done All I Can Do’ With Executive Authority to Fix the Border. Speaker Johnson: Lies.
Speaking to reporters from the South Lawn of the White House Tuesday while standing in front of a noisy Marine One, President Joe Biden again claimed he doesn’t have the power to fix the current crisis at the border and that it’s up to Republicans to pass new legislation to solve the issue.
“I’ve done all I can do. Just give me the power. I’ve asked from the very day I got into office. Give me the Border Patrol. Give me the people — give me the people, the judges. Give me the people who can stop this and make it work right,” Biden claimed.

“President Biden said ‘I’ve done all I can do’ with executive authority to secure the border. That is simply untrue. He’s either lying or misinformed,” Johnson wrote in response on X. ” Here are just a few of the authorities at his disposal – if only he would use them: Presidential Authority to Restrict Entry 212(f), Expedited Removal 235(b)(1), Discretionary Detention Authority 236(a), Mandatory Detention 236(c). No more excuses.”
“As I explained to him in a letter late last year, and have specifically reiterated to him on multiple occasions since, he can and must take executive action immediately to reverse the catastrophe he has created,” Johnson reiterated earlier in the week.
I have yet to read about or hear anyone mentioning the Texas State Guard, which is not the Texas National Guard, having been called up for assistance in guarding our border with Mexico.
I turned on the news and couldn’t find the shooter story, either.
What were all of those cops doing at the school? And what did the sister hear that sounded like gun shots?
We get enough (usually celebratory) gunfire here to know what it sounds like.
RE: Tedtam’s comment earlier about her neighbor I could not find a single thing about a live shooter at a school in Texas today, but you aren’t going to believe what I did find. UVALDE, Texas (WOAI/KABB) — A student who brought a handgun onto a junior high campus Thursday in Uvalde, Texas, will be facing serious disciplinary action. A… Read more »

Mexican Cartels producing/distributing illegal drugs on federally protected Native American Reservations ?
This is not the first time I’ve heard of it. It was a rumor before from law enforcement, but this is the first time from a sitting governor.
Insurance company replies, “Your car was buried in fire foam?
Uh huh.”

I can’t help it if you don’t pay attention. In Texas…
Spring is 12 days in March and/or April and Autumn is the last 2 weeks of October.
Everything else is Paradise.
#26 Shannon We had a lot of 120-135’ big booms in the early 2000’s on the jobsite of that hanger. I remember talking to the contractors putting in that foam system, massive pumps. Don’t remember the number but they could fill that complete building with foam in just a few minutes. They claimed they had to do just that in… Read more »
Four seasons?
Shannon hates all four seasons.
All of them are out to get him.
Hubby’s been so focused on birthing his car, our backyard is butterfly and honeybee delight, with all the wild weeds flowering now.
And those onions…oooooooh, those onions! Hubby’s gonna need a hankie when next he mows!
I can’t remember the last time I had to mow at the beginning of February, but I did so today.
After taking a year off, the evil clover has returned. Along with other winter weeds. Ground up some dead leaves.
Looks like somebody lives here again.
If this doesn’t wiss you off, I don’t know what will: Kristi Noem and the fed government in cahoots with cartels. Republican South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem told Newsmax on Wednesday that Mexican drug cartels have set up shop on tribal reservations in her state because they know the federal government has jurisdiction over those lands, and that the Biden administration is “letting… Read more »
Aerial video of the fire suppression system mishap at a United Airlines hanger at Bush are pretty impressive.
That’s a lotta foam.
I promised myself 18 months ago that I was going to make it back to the coast. Things just haven’t worked out that way.
Live shots from there today looked so beautiful. Just gotta get down there before it gets hot.
My neighbor is upset. There’s an active shooter at her niece’s school. Her sister has sent pics of all the cop cars and sis says she’s heard gunshots.
Pray for those students, and the officers.
Oh where is El Gordo when you need him. 😉

Musk’s X post comes after a judge in Delaware, where Tesla is currently incorporated, voided the $56 billion pay package granted to the billionaire in 2018. I saw that on Watter’s show and my question is, who died and left the Judge in charge? As if it was any of his damn business. As I understand it, a small shareholder with less… Read more »
Someone is shipping CBD gummies to Harper?
Now y’all cut that out.
Well, I got mail delivery of a very mashed package. It is addressed to me, but I have no idea why. Unless I sleep-walked to the Post Office, I’m not aware of ordering any CBD Gummies…
Blast that US Post Office.
Texas – Is There Anything It Can’t Do ? Elon Musk said late Wednesday that Tesla will hold a shareholder vote on whether to transfer the electric carmaker’s state of incorporation to Texas.

So I’ve been thinking: Is there a link between shrinking marriage rates, the proliferation of neurosis, and the Curley Effect? Just maybe.

There is one thing I would add to wagonburner’s #8.

Years ago, we were fans of the Law & Order trilogy and would tolerate the obligatory leftist drivel because the production values, scripts, acting and casting were superb.

Ridiculous.
If I remember correctly, Law and Order episodes are loosely based on true cases. Maybe it was in the article or in one of the links and missed it, was that based on a true event at all?
I just saw Rebecca Weiner, NYPD Deputy Commission on Fox and not only is she a pathetic little weasel, she is dangerously naive. FWIW; This was about the DA letting the Venezuelan Thugs free (no bail required) after they attacked a couple of NYPD officers. ~SPITS~
