Yep! memtb

Wait...I thought you guys hated Abbot last week?

Like for not singlehandedly killing everyone south of the Rio Grande or something.

Sounds like a plan....

Awesome possum!
Now that's some good news..
There's a lot of Texans that will breath a sigh of relief now.

Sure, but powder and primers are scarce.

Ok Abbott. Well done.
Now we want to hear you say,
FJB
Then I'm convinced you deRINOed

I believe he did more than just say FJB, he actually did it. All mandates outlawed in TX. A big FU to SW Airlines .et all.

Yep. He actually did something about it.

Abbott may not be the best Governor we’ve ever had, but he’s damn sure done a lot of good things for Texas.

Not to mention being one of the few Governors to call Biden’s Open Border Bullschitt almost daily.

And Constitutional Carry.

I thought you guys didn't like government stepping in and instructing people how to run their businesses

You are one stupid mf'er, he just stepped in and told govt how they WERE NOT gonna run your business.

Until a progressive federal judge overturns it.

... like at Michigan State University:

Yeaaaah, wasn’t he Hot-wheels last week, now almost walks on water.🤔

Safe? No
Effective? No
Best Defense? No, Strike Three

The EO

Question for Denton...
is this a good thing for the Pilots lawsuit over the vax mandate?

You can bet your ass that this will be vacated by a Federal Judge in 3-2-1.

Agreed.... Now, if the other states would just join in....

can't travel, empty shelves , minimal healthcare

yea, that vaccine mandate is going to be tested

Biden and company just thought those people would roll over.

Concept of federalism is lost on D.C. (not that the States haven't played a roll in ceding their authority).

But then again, marxists don't give a damn about rules or laws which get in their way.

Abbott and DeSantis at least stand up and fight the Biden Administration. It's time all Republican governors come together and fight for the people against these vaccine mandates and all the other crap Biden is trying to impose on us.

I’m sure they knew “those people” wouldn’t just roll over, so they have a plan, have been working on it for decades.

The states need to reestablish their sovereignty and take back the power they surrendered to the federal government. This federal government is on a power kick that needs to stop.

Feds ey, what about Newsome, Hochu, Whitmer , Evers, Walz, Kemp, Ducey, Northam, Brown, Inslee, Wolf, just to name a few, are these State Officials not on the same power kick.

I'm still waiting on him to do something to stop the mass invasion of our state. He sends a lot of people down there to witness it but doesn't actually do anything to stop it. We need people that are willing to actually stop them cold in Mexico and make them stay there.

I’m sure there are plenty of Texans wondering the same thing.

Have you contacted him or his office and asked him “Why” he hasn’t done anything to stop the invasion.

Abbott has limited power to enforce Federal immigration.

Brandon's predecessor had that going, and required waiting in country and you weren't allowed over. Mexico cooperated. But Brandon canned that program 21January. The old policy could be reinstated with stroke of pen. But won't be.

Would you settle for a hearty:
"Let's go Brandon"?

I guess he saw the light after last yr. Or could it be his actions changed once the other party took control in D.C.?

He was fine with edicts, mandates, and shutdowns when trump was in office.

Biden's "mandate" is only a press release. It is not law. Why corporations are so willingly eager to commit suicide is beyond me, but carry on. This is only hurting consumers and the Biden Administration.

Maybe folks will remember all this chaos when it comes to their midterm vote next year.

The Supreme Court reinstated “remain in Mexico” Biden is ignoring it. That nullifies the federal government on that issue. At the very least it should be grounds for a challenge by Texas enforcing it. They’d have to make us stop or go back to the SC where they already lost.
They’ll get away with it until someone actually makes them put up or shut up. Yes I’ve contacted Abbott.

In b4 Steve.....

Just exactly what do you want Gov Abbott to do? Believe me, this Texan is not giving him a pass but get real. The Border is Fed controlled and not State. Doesn't matter how many "No Vacancies" signs Abbott puts out, Biden is inviting them in a lot faster. Care to make a trip down here and see for yourself (and that is not just directed at you personally).

On the short stretch of Hwy 83 between Zapata and Mission you find 3 times as many State Police as any other law enforcement including Border Patrol. Oh, and don't get me started about the "response time" from the Border Patrol. We are much better off to contact the Texas Highway Patrol or even Texas Game Warden. Looks like to me Abbott is trying to control what he can control.

I am right there with many others in giving Gov. Abbott heat about many issues, but to put the lack of border control solely on his shoulders is BS. At least, for right now, Texas is still a "Red State". Maybe some of the armchair quarterbacks from the "Blue States" need to worry about their own backyard first.

The ONLY reason Gov. Abbott did this is because his more conservative challengers, Don Huffines and Alan West, are making him real uncomfortable. Sometimes folks don't see the light until they feel the heat.

Greg Abbott’s EO Came Hours After Allen West Said, ‘I Will Vehemently Crush Anyone Forcing Vaccine Mandates’

Texas Governor Greg Abbott filed an executive order Monday prohibiting vaccine mandates of any kind. His sweeping EO essentially banned all businesses and individuals from requiring proof of vaccination for employees or business patrons for any reason.

It’s conspicuous that the Governor, who is in the middle of a reelection bid, filed the EO the day after opponent Allen West Tweeted that he was “even more dedicated to fighting against vaccine mandates” after contracting Covid-19. According to a Twitter thread by West:

“I can attest that, after this experience, I am even more dedicated to fighting against vaccine mandates. Instead of enriching the pockets of Big Pharma and corrupt bureaucrats and politicians, we should be advocating the monoclonal antibody infusion therapy.

“Instead of jabbing Americans, and not illegal immigrants, with a dangerous shot which injects them with these spike proteins . . . guess what? I now have natural immunity and double the antibodies, and that’s science.

“As Governor of Texas, I will vehemently crush anyone forcing vaccine mandates in the Lone Star State. There are far better protocols that individual citizens can utilize and decide for themselves.

“Our bodies are our last sanctuary of liberty and freedom, I will defend that for everyone, even the progressive socialist jackasses who must be saved from themselves. God’s blessings and thanks so very much for all your prayers.”



One of the most critical topics is treatment of Covid-19. While Abbott continues to push the vaccines as “safe and effective,” West has focused on using the tools which science has demonstrated to work wonders against the disease. In a Twitter thread yesterday following his recovery, West called for Texas to focus on these life-saving treatments:

“I noticed this weekend especially that the government is running propaganda commercials of people who lost loved ones to COVID saying they wish they had taken the shot. This level of manipulative deception must end.

“Why not promote protocols such as Regeneron monoclonal antibody infusion therapy? Why not promote Budesonide nebulizer treatments? Why not promote healthy over the counter therapies such as zinc — which I take — D3, vitamin C, Hydroxychloroquine, and yes, Ivermectin?

“I am thankful that the medical professionals here at Medical City listened to me . . . not some boiler plate CDC, Dr Fauci, or Texas Medical Board mandates.

“I am not a conspiracy theorist but something very nefarious is at work here , and the innocent blood of Texans are on some dirty, corrupt hands. I promise y’all, as Governor of Texas, I will find those hands and ensure they’re held accountable.”

"The ONLY reason Gov. Abbott did this is because his more conservative challengers, Don Huffines and Alan West, are making him real uncomfortable. Sometimes folks don't see the light until they feel the heat."

Could he be uncomfortable enough to do this,,,

That's great. Now DeSantis will feel pressure not to be outdone and do the same.

Yup, I was wondering when a TX member here was going to post the obvious truth.

Texas lives rent free in stevie's head..............

Not exactly, the Mandate is real and it is being enforced.

The Mandate applies to Military personnel, Federal employees snd Federal contractors, however members of Congress and their staff are exempt.

The Press release applies to the private sector.

As to “why” corporations are issuing these mandates, you already know why. Biden/Obama are intensionally destroying the economy, corporate Bailouts will be forth coming, (To Big To Fail) . Those that followed orders and participated, will be receiving very handsome checks from Biden/Obama, while those that refused will be filing bankruptcy.

lol

Yes, I should have been more specific between the Federal EO and the private sector memo. And Yes, I agree that the mission of the progressive socialists is to dismantle the Free Market, punish the productive, and force corporations and workers into the government collective.

Covid just gave them all the excuses they needed to empower their mission. Unfortunately, it appears that Corporate American is now marching in lockstep for fear of being boycotted/cancelled.

Corporations love Big Government. Provides the control and regulation which helps guarantee their profits and squeeze out competition & new players. Corporations also get to jettison expensive health plans and retirement plans and put those costs on the backs of taxpayers.

Unelected bureaucrats are implementing Brandon's agenda. No laws required.

Welcome to U.S.S.A. comrade.

What is so comical and somewhat pitiful is he is worried about Texas when he should be trying to change is own state's voting records. Kinda of a "do as we say not as we do" attitude.

Among others here too. “Texas BAD”. 🤠

Psuki says at Presser Abbott and Desantis are gonna kill a bunch of people 🤪🤪🤪😡

Psaki: Abbott and DeSantis' politically-motivated vaccine mandate policies will kill people
