The Trump administration has decided that the children of parents crossing the border seeking asylum in the United States will be separated from their parents and taken to be housed at military bases.

Three of the four bases being considered are in Texas – the Army’s Fort Bliss, Goodfellow Air Force Base and Dyess Air Force Base.  Bliss is in El Paso. Goodfellow is in San Angelo, and Dyess is in Abilene.  The Air Forces bases are in deep and very conservative west Texas where any protests would be unlikely, as will as any resources for the kids.

Will we be using our troops as babysitters?

I am reminded of this.  Tom Lauren, the blonde Sarah Palin except dumber, met with a little logic —

I haven’t been in much of a mood to laugh today because yesterday I saw this in the New York Times.

Well, I guess we can take small comfort in knowing that Trump won’t win the Nobel Peace Prize now.

And when Ivanka Trump has to explain tis picture to her children in ten years, it won’t be easy.

Y’all, this could only happen in Texas, the land that heralds corruption.

Okay, so Blake Farenthold resigns from being a congressman shortly before the hooter-toters show up to scalp his ample nasty butt for language and actions so disgustingly gross that they cannot be described on a website where my Momma comes.

He left congress owing us $84,000 of our money used to compensate a young woman for Farenthold’s grotesque flirtations.

And then he landed on a feather pillow.

Farenthold told listeners on a Corpus Christi radio show Monday morning he had landed a position working for the Port of Port Lavaca-Point Comfort.

His annual salary will be $160,000.10, just below the $174,000 he earned in congress.

He’s going to lobby for the port of Port Lavaca.  If you’ve never heard of Port Lavaca, let me assure you that they’ve never heard of you either. Now, let me tell you why Blake will fit right in.

Texas Rangers investigated one Port Lavaca port board member and a Calhoun County commissioner two years ago for stealing money. Another board member promotes pro-Confederacy and Deep State political theories on his personal Facebook page.

A match made in heaven.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

Remember John Kelly saying that immigrants don’t assimilate well because they are uneducated, don’t speak English, and don’t have any skills.

Well, you know what comes next, right?

Jennifer Mendelsohn, looked up Kelly’s ancestry to prove to him and the rest of America that we all come from immigrants. Mendelsohn found out through a 1900 census bureau that Kelly’s great grandfather lived in America undocumented for 18 years and could not “read, write, or speak English.”

She adds —

There are 37 states with online voter registration.  Texas, of course, is not one of them.

Voter registration cards in Texas arrive looking like a bushel basket of wire coat hangers because most voter registration happen in the summer and people sweat all over the cards.  You mostly can’t read the handwriting on them and it takes a magician, a priest, and a Magic 8 Ball to decipher them.

But our legislature doesn’t want to change. Change hurts. It’s not good.

Ever since I can remember, our buddy Glen Maxey has gone to the legislature to lobby for online voting.  Hell, even our secretary of state supports it and he’s appointed by the Governor.  Every year, the County Clerk in Harris County (think Houston) rejects it because he can’t send an email without a teenager sitting beside him holding his hand and four phone calls to Bill Gates.  So, we don’t get online voter registration.

However, there is hope. Texas allows people to renew their licenses online, but doesn’t allow them to register to vote at the same time. Last week, U.S. District Judge Orlando Garcia told the state to fix that.

I am certain that our state attorney general will appeal it because he spends more money needlessly than Scott Pruitt.

But it’s a glimmer of hope to pull people screaming into these new-fangled fads.

If you are watching the bloody festivities in Jerusalem today signifying that Donald Trump is kowtowing to the religious right’s attempt to bring about Armageddon, there’s one thing you might want to watch.

Robert Jeffress, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Dallas, a man you can calibrate your gaydar by, is accompanying Trump so he can lead the prayer.

Jeffress – note the halo in his official picture

Pastor Jeffress, in a now infamous 2011 interview, also said that “every other religion in the world is wrong: Islam is wrong, it is a heresy from the pit of Hell; Mormonism is wrong, it is a heresy from the pit of Hell, and, “Judaism, you can’t be saved being a Jew.”

If you don’t know what dispensationalism is, go Goggle it. Right-wingers are trying like hell to rush the end times so they can watch God throw your sorry butt into the pits of hell.  They think they’re gonna get a ringside seat as an award for waiting to draw a crowd before they pray.

This is gonna be a damn smokin’ mess. It’s not gonna bring Jesus back any sooner, but watching Jews and Palestinians die is almost as much fun for them.

I turned off the damn teevee.  What they are doing to Sweet Jesus is obscene.
