Greg Abbott


Fentanyl is a clandestine killer, & Texans are victimized by Mexican cartels that produce & import it.

Today, I issued an Executive Order designating cartels as terrorist organizations & directed
@TxDPS
to take immediate action to disrupt cartel & gang activity.

Doesn't the Texas Air National guard have F16 and other attack aircraft?
Maybe it's time to start using them.

Some congress-critter heard about it and thought it was good idea, which it is. And now wants the .fed to do the same.

But they don't want a bucha Americans working for three letter agencies to suddenly become terrorists. Only right wingers get that treatment...

Does this give illegals an argument that they are seeking asylum from an area that’s plagued by terrorists, per .gov?  I have heard that before, but maybe that’s a fed thing vs a Texas thing.

So the net-net is that he hopes the feds will do something more with the border.

In an election year.

Good luck with that.

Funny.  Cartels use terror tactics - but are not terrorist organizations.  BLM and ANTIFA use terror tactics and are not terrorist organizations.  Voters who used the constitution and supported Trump - they are terrorist organizations.

Gotta love clueless people that won't even list their state. The TXARNG has had a border mission going on for around 20 years .

I already spent 9 months on the border.  My guys are still down there.  So they're already fucking activated.  Unless you're the buddy of our Virginian up there who also isn't paying any fucking attention.

Congress won’t be happy about this. I remember when El Chapo was on trial, people wanted to see the list of politicians he’d been giving money to and that shit got shut down immediately.

He (Democrat from Eagle Pass) was appointed by then representative speaker Dennis Bonnen (RINO) who is a banker. Something convenient for money laundering

Like showing your ass much?

Maybe you remember the name Specialist Bishop Evans? You know, a member of the Texas National Guard who drowned trying to save the life of two illegals while deployed to the border in support of  Operation Lone Star. Which is a continuation of decades old Operation Border Star.

I was at his funeral, as was the Governor & the head of the NGB.  They posthumously promoted him to Sergeant.

Yes I remember, I was being sarcastic, meaning that Abbott isn't using the
Texas Army National Guard to hunt down cartel terrorists on Texas soil.

One good thing Chris Christie did when he was governor, he declared Antifa a Terrorist Organization.

The only fighters the Texas ANG have are for training new F-16 pilots, so they aren't for shooting stuff down and dropping bombs, just training.  If stuff got real bad I don't know if they could just strap the bombs on them and go to work or not.

I think they are older block 30s. Yes, they can still shoot and drop stuff.

Unless he sends SOG across the border to engage directly nothing will change.
