Just when you thought a lost F35 was the weekâs defining story, this happened. Yesterday, in a massively-important story completely embargoed by Establishment Media, probably because they havenât gotten their narrative orders from the White House yet, Governor Greg Abbott of Texas made history by finally doing what the stateâs conservatives have long been begging for:
Governor Abbott formally declared a State of Invasion at the border.
Itâs a big deal, maybe even âyuge,â as Trump would say. In a public letter addressed to Joe Biden, Governor Abbott declared the federal government has failed to protect Texas from invasion, so the state invoked Article I, Section 10, Clause 3 of the Constitution. As Abbott put it, in his historic letter:
The subtext of Abbottâs letter is literally a declaration of war. Article I, § 10, Clause 3 says that states shall not âengage in warâ without the consent of Congress unless actually invaded:
For at least a year that I can remember, Texas conservatives have been begging Abbott to invoke Clause I(10)(3). One sees both sides of the timing of making such a career-defining political decision. Abbott took the longer approach, and built up political armor by first sending migrants to blue places like Chicago and New York, which are also now buckling under the strain and more importantly, are complaining loudly and publicly.
Itâs hard to understate how big a deal this is. Texas is going to war ⊠but against what enemy? In his letter, Abbott smartly identified the cartels. In a tweet yesterday, Abbott showed his move was carefully and long-planned: at the time of the announcement, Texas had already deployed the National Guard and started building containment measures like a border wall.
By moving fast, Texas canât now be stopped before they begin by an emergency temporary injunction from an Administration-friendly judge. Itâs too late. Yesterday Abbott tweeted:
Texas might be in a war with more enemies than just the cartels, Around 6pm last week, Governor Abbott tweeted that federal agents were removing Texasâ newly-installed razor wire and were actively helping migrants cross the barriers into Texas.
CLIP: Federal agents remove razor wire from the Texas border and help migrants cross the border (1:37).
Establishment Media canât ignore this history-making story very long. Neither can the Administration, whose lawyers are probably frantically drafting right now. Expect Biden to file one or more emergency lawsuits trying to stop Texas from defending itself. The rhetoric will be hot as mustard. I also expect Woke Media to soon shift to covering Texasâs wartime âhuman rights abuses.â Oh, the humanity!
Itâs a developing story. Stay tuned.
