> basically they could go jump, and ・we・ll take care of Texas!・. As of last night・

> the Texas National Guard has been put on High Alert!!! This is the first time in

> history! Texas tried, desperately to get Washington・s approval・ but when they

> 1) 100・s of PRO-DRUG CARTEL Mexicans were blocking the entrance to the United

> children!!!)

> 2) They aren・t sure ・ but they think the Drug Cartel is paying the demonstrators

> to do what they・re doing.

> 3) This will spill over into the States! Mr. Patrick, and the other State

> officials,. are convinced that road-side bombs and car bombs will make it across

> the border and WILL NOT allow that to happen!!

> 4) Mexico is breaking out in Civil War in the western part of the border and

> they expect it to spread the entire border with no end in sight.

> 5) The National Guard will be activated as the scenario worsens and is on Alert

> now and will remain so until (and IF) Washington does something to end the

thanks for the clarification

[poak]

No prob.

It's not to say nothing is going on down there though, there are serious issues south of our border for sure.

GOOD. I am glad that the governor of TX is doing something to secure his part of the border. He is the commander in chief of the TX National Guard and can mobilize them for whatever he wants.

Sense this was evidentially another rumor... we'll close this one for now.

This is good news that the governor of TX is doing his part.
