Barry Smitherman is currently the Railroad Commissioner for the Ex-Great State of Texas.   Oddly, the Texas Railroad Commissioner regulates oil and gas in Texas.

Barry is currently running for Attorney General because the Attorney General is running for Governor.  Yeah, it’s musical chairs in Texas.

If you will recall, last week Barry said that the problem with Texas is that we women aren’t having enough babies.  And that aborted fetuses would have voted Republican.  And that all state employees should get free license to carry classes.  And that the women who protested at the State Capitol are “satanic, evil, and crude.”

Honey, honey, honey, that child is on a roll and there ain’t no bottom to his hill.

This week he’s got a new one.

Texas is becoming its own Doomsday Preppers.

Listen to his plan for Texas —

“One of the things I’ve focused on in the last 10 years of my public sector life is preparing Texas to be a prosperous and safe place to work, regardless of what happens outside our borders,” he said.

“We are uniquely situated because we have energy resources, fossil and otherwise, and our own independent electrical grid. Generally speaking, we have made great progress in becoming an independent nation, an ‘island nation’ if you will, and I think we want to continue down that path so that if the rest of the country falls apart, Texas can operate as a stand-alone entity with energy, food, water and roads as if we were a closed-loop system.”

Holy food stockpile, this guy thinks Texas can be its own nation.

Now how we’re going to keep Oklahoma, Louisiana, and New Mexico from invading us is a whole ‘nother problem, but I suspect he has a solution for that, too, and it probably involves permit to carry licenses for all state employees and a whole mess of babies.

You know I love my Texas but I gotta say something here.  Every time one of these jackbutted idiots starts talking about Texas seceding, I want to holler, “Hell, we’re gonna be expelled first!”

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
