Mexico’s economic minister announce last week that a new railway from Mexico to Canada for international trade is no longer going to come through Texas, but will cross into New Mexico, 20 miles west of El Paso.  The reason?  Texas is no longer considered “a reliable trading partner” after Abbott’s idiotic stunt last month that caused weeks of chaos at US/Mexico border crossings, costing Texas about $4 billion in lost trade and spoiled produce.  Now Abbott (Mini Trump) has cost Texas billions more by losing a rail line that’s going to connect the port of Mazatlan in Mexico to Winnipeg in Canada.  Laredo and Dallas were scheduled to be on the route, but no more.

Thanks for nothing, Shithead.

My grandmother used to always tell me, “Honey, whatever you don’t do well, do fast.”

I think I must be cousins with Madison Cawthorn and Mark Meadows because we have the same grandma.

We all know about Madison’s driving, thinking that the speed limit signs are just a suggestion.

But add to that, in 2016 Meadows was caught doing 72 mph in a 55 mph zone.  He didn’t even try to explain it except to say that he’s an old “fuddy duddy not paying attention.” Fuddy Duddy. Yeah, he said that.

The DA appears to have dismissed it like it was a sneeze.

“I was very generous, especially with people who did a lot to make our communities better,” Newman said.

Awwwww. Isn’t that sweet?

Yet …

… a month after the dismissal, the Meadows for Congress pac paid more than seventeen hundred dollars to a local law firm specializing in traffic law.

Uh, could legal fees have been paid for getting the ticket fixed with campaign funds.

Surely not.  But, who knows?

Meadows and his pac did not respond to requests for comment. The law firm’s founder, Douglas Pearson, could not say what services it provided, citing a recent fire that destroyed records.

Records?  Lost in a fire.

I bet they did that very slowly … because they’re damn good at it.

Following news that when people were demonstrating in front of the White House, Donald Trump seriously asked why he couldn’t order that they be shot (but only in the legs!), Greg Abbott has decided that Texas can and should declare war on Mexico.

The governor of Texas is considering an incendiary plan to declare the record surge of illegal migration at the US southern border an “invasion” and invoke war powers to tackle the crisis in a direct challenge to the federal government.

There’s only the slight problem that Texas doesn’t have an army. Or a well regulated militia for that matter.  Hell, the University of Texas doesn’t have much of a football team this year so I wouldn’t count on any linemen to hold the front line.

Come on, Mexico today, Oklahoma tomorrow?

Abbott could get himself one of those Supreme Leader outfits and a 15 gallon cowboy hat with a big ole star on it and a solar panel so it lights up in the dark. He could replace his wheelchair with a chariot and a couple of feral hogs to pull it.  Florida Governor Ron DeSantis would be aquamarine with envy. Hell, Honey, DeSantis couldn’t even take Mississippi.  I’ve got a crisp $20 bill that says Florida couldn’t even beat Mississippi in a spelling bee. But Texas, bygawd, can go to war alone and afraid against Mexico.

Day and night, the Governor ain’t bright, Deep in the heart of Texas.
