For those in the know, Operation Jade Helm – Obama’s secret plot to become king and herd all the white people into concentration camps – starts on July 15th.

The folks in Bastrop, Texas, are perfectly aware of that and have not been fooled by the army’s lame excuses that there will only be 60 troops in Bastrop and they will be stationed at a current National Guard base.  No, sireeee.

[Republican] county Chairman Albert Ellison pulled out a yellow legal pad on which he had handwritten page after page of reasons why many Texans distrust President Obama, including the fact that, “in the minds of some, he was raised by communists and mentored by terrorists.”

Well, there ya go.

Even the white elected officials see racism in the bender set to purée when it comes to the irrational fear of Jade Helm.

Here in the soft, green farmlands east of Austin, some say the answer is simple: “The truth is, this stems a fair amount from the fact that we have a black president,” said Terry Orr, who was Bastrop’s mayor from 2008 to 2014.

Ya think?

The Washington Post this morning outlines pretty much what’s happening.  And there’s now reason for all sides to be concerned.

Others suspect Obama wants to establish martial law to cancel the 2016 presidential elections and extend his term in office. Terry Wareham, head of the Bastrop County Tea Party, said she fears that the Obama administration might deliberately instigate violence between soldiers and Texans as a pretext for establishing martial law.

Yeah, well, Ms. Wearham, I fear the exact opposite.  I fear you fools are going to try to start something.  You guys are Cliven Bundy on steroids.  You are damned and determined to shoot something.  You’re just itching to play cowboys and black presidents, aren’t ya?

It’s gonna be a long, hot summer.

Thanks to Barbara in Bastrop for the heads up.

I know you are going to be shocked, shocked I tell you, to hear this:

A major donor to Gov. Greg Abbott received an immediate offer of help from the office of the governor after complaining that Democrats and their top contributor were on the verge of defeating a controversial bill insurance companies wanted, records obtained by The Texas Tribune indicate.

Texans for Lawsuit Reform, which should actually be named Screw The Little Guy, has given Abbott $720,000.  That hunk of change buys them a billion dollars in unpaid claims.

Yeah, this is the same Greg Abbott who had no job and no health insurance when a tree limb fell on him in 1984.  He collected $6 million dollars.  He supports “reforms” that make it almost impossible to collect on injuries caused by negligence.

So, what we know now is that his legs are worth $6 million, but his soul is only worth $750,000.

Thanks to David for the heads up.

I live in Texas.  I know this to be absolutely true.

And this one needs no translation, even if you don’t speak Spanish.

Donald Trump is an amazing diplomat.  He has singlehandedly united every country south of the Rio Grande.

Thanks to ChickenBoneWill for the heads up.

We’ll be watching the ballgame and then taking barbeque to Momma.

Stay safe and meet me back here tomorrow.

Y’all remember Cecil Bell.

Cecil is a high school graduate who thinks arithmetic is for sissies.  He’s a Republican State Representative and he’s nuts.

Cecil has a big announcement coming next week.  He’s been hinting that he’s going to run for speaker of the Texas house.

I’ll be damned.  Look here what he says.

Bell spent Thursday morning promoting a Monday announcement for a “PACT for Constitutional Restoration of State Sovereignty.”

He said because of recent US Supreme Court decisions, including the one regarding same-sex marriage, he will unveil a “plan of action to restore the constitutional sovereignty of our states and of our people.”

The boy’s talking about secession.  Seriously.  And the best part?

“Everyone that I have talked to contends that they are very frustrated and don’t know what to do,” Bell said. “I find on this subject that we are largely devoid of leadership.”

Well, yeah, the pro-ebola subject is also devoid of leadership and, like secession, it does not need none at all.  And Cecil, the only people who will talk to you are those who don’t know what to do.  Hell, they most likely can’t even find dinner and don’t know what to do about it.

This guy is dumber than dog dump and about half a pretty.  This is gonna be so much fun.

Thanks to Bubba for the heads up.
