While Dallas Eliminates Policing Of “Minor” Felonies, Texas Gov Abbott Steps-Up Recruitment of Californians <BR>[Buck Throckmorton]

While Dallas Eliminates Policing Of “Minor” Felonies, Texas Gov Abbott Steps-Up Recruitment of Californians
[Buck Throckmorton]

The City of Dallas distributed an internal memorandum on January 1 advising that police were no longer to respond to “minor” crimes such as car thefts and criminal mischief.

It was quickly rescinded when the public found out that criminals now had a green light to steal cars and destroy property in Dallas.

Although conversations have been held on this topic, the memorandum was sent prematurely. The department is still in the evaluation phase on this item and will have further dialogue on recommendations and next steps. Therefore, the actions set out in the memorandum have been rescinded at this time.”

Governor Greg Abbott responded by promising to aggressively recruit even more radical left-wing techies to relocate from California to Texas. OK, I’m exaggerating, he publicly objected. Good for him. I guess.

But if you don’t want Texas to devolve into “California style lawlessness” then why are you trying to bring all of California to Texas? Just because they soiled their old nest and turned it into a lawless latrine, doesn’t mean they won’t do the same thing to Texas. In fact, they are doing the same thing to Texas.

Let’s face it, Greg Abbott is the Angela Merkel of Texas. Frau Merkel invited millions of “refugees” into Germany – refugees who were hostile to German culture and civilization, choosing to quickly impose the culture of the failed lands they emigrated from. Gov. Abbott is doing much the same in Texas. He is strangely proud of importing millions of people who are actively hostile to Texas’s culture and conservative governance.

Even worse, the California tech bros that Abbott is importing tend to be downright religious in their devotion to environmentalism. Their religion, The Sustainable Organic Church Of The Carbon Apocalypse, seeks to outlaw oil production and cattle ranching, which you may have heard are kind of a big thing in Texas. And unlike oil and cattle, which put a lot of wealth into the hands of the working class, tech jobs tend to concentrate a lot of wealth into the hands of tech bros, rather than disperse it to the working classes.

Gov Abbott’s California techies are coming to Texas to vote Democrat, phase out cattle ranching, ban oil production, implement an income tax, incentive homelessness, eliminate policing, and accuse every bit of Texas culture of being racist. Austin is already a lost cause. Dallas is now lost. We’re all going to miss Texas.

2. As much as I detest Abbott, he's in no way comparable to Merkel. People can cross borders and move within the US as they desire. Texas has a good business climate, so businesses naturally flock here. Gonna happen with or without Abbott. Sure, the newcomers will shit the bed. But unless we're seceding, there's nothing to be done.

50 Well, crap.

Anyway, the fact is that Texas -- and any other red state that wants to stay red -- needs to stop complaining "Californians move here and ruin our state." They need to set in concrete in their constitutions anything they want to immunize against blue-state migrants. Don't want an income tax? Put it into your constitution that "The imposition of an income tax is expressly forbidden." Don't want voting offered to illegal invaders? Get it into your constitution in black and while. The list goes on. Take away from your legislature and your courts the ability to (*fill in the blank with every idiotic thing California does that you want to make off-limits).

Not that the enumerated powers thing stopped government expansion at the Federal level, I mean, but it's worth a try.
And for the love of God, beat the California out of everyone who enters your state and make them Texans!

An election where there is material, substantive evidence of fraud. Nobody helped us. Nobody will even hear the allegations. They've shut down all avenues to air or litigate grievances.

Now there are plans to subvert and destroy any opposition to them. To kill our democratic republic and coerce or force us to obey. To destroy the integrity of our elections forever so we have no hope or choices.

Still, nobody helped us.

What did they think would happen? Even now they blame us.

97 Many Californians moving to Texas are disgruntled conservatives who've had one foot out the door for years.

As a member of that group, I can see where they're getting the data that people moving to Texas are a big part of what has kept Texas conservative. Texas is doing so well that natives don't realize it isn't normal.

But I think it's a mistake to conflate voluntary moves with semi-forced moves when a company moves, and bribed moves when a company is paid to move.

Texas has a good business climate, so businesses naturally flock here. Gonna happen with or without Abbott. Sure, the newcomers will shit the bed.

I once did the online dating thing and met a woman who told me on the second date that she was prone to migraines and that after years of suffering (she's tried Imitrex, and all the others) the only cure she's found to stop a migraine without losing 24 hours in the process was an orgasm. Her ex husband left her because she kept calling him home in the middle of the work day 2-3 times each month. It also turns out she's an UBER liberal administrator of a local University.

Well it's not the ONT yet but I'll tell you what I know.

So as I was saying in the last thread, Trump twice made a point of asking the crowd to peacefully walk to the capital after his speech. Just walk down Pennsylvania Avenue peacefully and go to the capital. We did, some 6 figures of us.

I was more towards the frontish middlish of the crowd, and by the time I got to the Capitol with my sister, one or two hot young guys had already monkey climbed up the scaffolding and were dancing around on the steps waving flags and getting smoke bombed. Apparently there was some attempt at signaling that we were not to do this, because there was some knee-length green mesh barrier in front. At least I think there was, because I saw some on the ground flat. A lot of the people were just standing out on the grass looking up at the guys on the steps leading the flags, but I thought, why are we standing here? Why did we come here today if we're just going to walk up to some little plastic mesh barricades made in China and turn around and go home?

Then came the Planes Trains and Automobiles portion of the day thanks to the idiot mayor's curfew. Not an Uber or a cab was to be seen in the streets although there were plenty of Tanks, emergency vehicles, and utility trucks clogging the intersections and blocking off vehicular traffic. My sister and I couldn't persuade a cab company to come get us. The insanity of it is it the city consisted of nothing but huge lunking growling vehicles and people straggling out of the demonstration on foot. Just walking away with flags, no weapons of any sort, no crowbars or masks or other tools of the trade. Complete joke.

I have no idea what you think this cop should have done instead. They're taught to, "Ask, tell, make.". IOW ask nicely, if that fails, escalate to shouting orders and intimidation, if that fails, escalate to physical violence of increasing degree.

But that physical violence doesn't work when you are one cop facing a crowd that's not directing lethal force at you.

What do you want him to do? Start beating people? Tazing them? Shooting them?

He's stuck on tell until he has backup or someone escalates to lethal violence.

Aside from scenery and climate, it is pro-freedom, low-tax, no income tax, and unlike TX which is recruiting left wing tech bros, TN is seeing a migration of conservative Midwesterners and New Yorkers, making the individual choice to embrace freedom. I think TN is getting redder.

Yes, we had no respect for their stupid little green mesh barrier and we climbed their stupid scaffold. We chanted sings Like We the People and fight for Trump and USA. Stupid idiots who flood through tunnels like rats and then condemned all this are just gutless no nothings. The people up on those steps with me were just ordinary folks who risked life and limb a little bit I would say to climb up to the doors of Our House. Very Ordinary People and extraordinary Patriots.

We're not going back into town for any more Planes, Trains, or nonexistent automobiles. I don't regret a minute of it and I hope Trump has some interesting words for congress on January 20th.

275 As stated earlier, there's no excuse for people gaining entry to the Capitol. Easily prevented, never happened in recent history, plenty of warning about this event.

"Eyewitness" in linked video confirms that people were idiots, "blitzing" their way in (again, WTF? how were people like this not stopped, easily?) to the building.

That's not a peaceful protest. And any disruption you cause will be temporary and meaningless, and it all will be portrayed (easily) in the worst possible light. Brilliant.

However, if it will reassure anyone, I read recently that in the 2018 TX Senate race, Beto actually won the votes of TX natives, and it was only the immigrants to the state that put Ted Cruz over the top.

I may be wrong, but I suspect a lot of the "woke" techies will refuse the move, preferring to take their chances in a CA circling the drain, while many of the TX newcomers can't wait to get out of CA and vote accordingly. We shall see.

337 We talk about the need to fight, yet we convince people to just turn states over to the Left and try to figure out a place where they won't show up. But there's no guarantees, as some folks in GA are finding out.

339 However, if it will reassure anyone, I read recently that in the 2018 TX Senate race, Beto actually won the votes of TX natives, and it was only the immigrants to the state that put Ted Cruz over the top

How would anyone know this? Exit polling?

I've seen the claim made. I've never seen the evidence.

343 TX has always (in my lifetime at least) been a state that is about 4-6% Republican. On the state level the party's nominees are an embarrassment but when you get a well-organized Dem like Mr. O'Rourke they can get traction here. And it's always been like that.

And again, in 2018, 58% of CA immigrants and refugees voted for Mr. Cruz.

TX has always had Dem strongholds like the RGV, Travis County, Houston, and the like.

(But hey, let's not let all that stop you defeatists out there who just want to sit around and whine, and not do anything about this...)

371 I just left the north Dallas area and moved to far NW Fort Worth.

It's new home construction...Westlake is close by, where Schwab moved their headquarters, so a lot of new homes being built out here.

Walking down my block...every other license plate on a home showing a SOLD sign is from CA. The others are from Washington...Oregon...a few other random odd states, but mostly west coasters. I've met a few - most are escaping because they are conservative. The others, apolitical. A lot of Trump flags in this huge 'hood already. The flight is real - these people are NOT lefties tho. Those people go to Austin, Dallas, etc. This is not a comprehensive sample of people moving into Austin, Dallas, Houston etc.

The companies that are moving here that are leftist...they need to stay the hell out or get with the Texas program. They don't understand here that Texans don't f*ck around - you try to mess with our shit, we will f*ck you up and kick your ass into next week. That was the first thing I learned after I moved here over a decade ago...but I don't trust Abbot, not after the lockdown bullshit. Let's see what he does when the legislature goes back into session...
