While good-for-nothing Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) frets nonsensically about Sharia law taking over the US and wanting to empower ICE, gun violence continues unabated in Texas, environmental disasters keep re-occurring, prisoners are executed, and is reeling; hardest hit are the construction and hospitality industries:

I wonder why Abbott is still so fanatic about MAGA when he must realize by now that it's not taking his career anyplace?

Maybe he's just a natural-born fascist.

Hi Zed:

It's a mystery to me as well.

In NYS, we have a MIGA/MAGA maniac named Bruce Blakeman (R) running for governor.

This dead-end AIPAC-er didn't lower the flags to half-mast in Nassau County when POTUS Jimmy Carter died, he set up surveillance cameras at the NYC-Nassau County border because of NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D), and Blakeman empowered several Nassau County PD detectives to enforce ICE laws.

These meshuganas somehow think fascism and ethnic cleansing is a winning ticket for Tuesday 3 Nov 2026.

Over 40 percent of Texans are Hispanic.... cities there aren't as stupid as the total douche that is Greg Abbott.

Polling suggests young master James Talarico (D) is slightly behind the good-for-war Republicans.

*** Texas MAGA Republican Introduces Bill to Denaturalize and Deport Undesirables: 'The Mamdani Act' ***

"The xenophobic bill points specifically to NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D), stating that "the very presence of Zohran Mamdani and those like him who champion Marxist ideologies" demonstrates how the immigration system "enables the mass importation of Marxists and Islamists."

AIPAC is an invasive species that is destroyed America from within.

Boy, there are going to be a lot of angry judges in Texas when cases get delayed creating backlogs because this interpreter was locked up by ICE.

In my area, the Hispanic labor force is practically gone. Construction and farming are grinding to a standstill. Good luck finding that affordable housing. They aren't building any. And good luck with those grocery prices when far less is getting planted or picked.

Greg Abbott and Ron DeSatan are the two worst state governors in America.

Both should run for POTUS and VPOTUS in 2028 on their track records to ensure a non-Republican Party win.
