Good morning, kids. So, Nikki Haley won Dixville Notch, NH at midnight. That’s it folks. All over by the shouting. Might as well not even have a convention and just proclaim her the nominee. What a farce. Not even so much something that’s the moral equivalent of throwing out a first pitch at the World Series but the whole election in general. I don’t mean to mock the traditional midnight vote in that tiny hamlet let alone the World Series, because of what they represent. Or to be more accurate, what they once represented.
I’ve been saying for quite a while that I get the sense that America as founded or as it more or less was operating since the end of the Second World War until about 9/11/01 is indeed dead and we’re still going about our business in a zombie-like state. We have the illusion of regular order despite the incontestable and massive amount of evidence to the contrary.
The slow motion coup against the republic which started around 1913 with Woodrow Wilson, or perhaps in the aftermath of the Civil War (please let’s not waste pixels, time and space on that moot argument) went pedal to the metal when the Twin Towers came down and, aside for a brief oasis of a pause between 2017 and 2020, vanished like the mirage it was. Even sudden revolutions aren’t as sudden and spontaneous as they seem. Conditions on the ground fester for a protracted period and then the “people” (or likely a relatively small band of miscreants) storm the gates of the presidium and take over.
Yet still we persist because even with everything seemingly crashing in around us, we still go to work, take care of our families, pay our taxes (!!!), and try to live as moral, God-fearing, decent people while trying to find what joy we can in our lives. Like life itself, the ability to do all of these things depends upon societal stability and the unspoken contract between ourselves, our neighbors and our fellow citizens. It’s a contract based upon mutual respect, mutual recognition, despite even stark geographic, ethnic and cultural differences, of a shared national identity and heritage.
A divided Supreme Court on Monday allowed Border Patrol agents to cut razor wire that Texas installed on the U.S.-Mexico border, while a lawsuit over the wire continues.
The justices, by a 5-4 vote, granted an emergency appeal from the Biden administration, which has been in an escalating standoff at the border with Texas and had objected to an appellate ruling in favor of the state. . .
. . . Abbott also has authorized installing floating barriers in the Rio Grande near Eagle Pass and allowed troopers to arrest and jail thousands of migrants on trespassing charges. The administration also is challenging those actions in federal court.
A federal appeals court last month forced federal agents to stop cutting the concertina wire. Large numbers of migrants have crossed at Eagle Pass in recent months.
In court papers, the administration said the wire impedes Border Patrol agents from reaching migrants as they cross the river and that, in any case, federal immigration law trumps Texas’ own efforts to stem the flow of migrants into the country.
Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Amy Coney Barrett, Ketanji Brown Jackson, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor sided with the administration. Justices Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas voted with Texas. No one provided any explanation for their vote.
If I want to be charitable, I’d say that Roberts and Coney Island are still operating under the delusion that everything his hunky dory, business as usual and Greg Abbott was a naughty boy by doing what he did. Of course, there is some considerable legal argumentation that a state (and in particular Texas) indeed has precedence over the federal government over aspects of immigration policy and borders, the particulars that going back nearly 200 years themselves. In fact, I would think that someone who sits on SCOTUS or any bench for that matter would know this, but we live in the era of Claudine Gay and Kentanji Brown-25.
And that era is post-America. We know that the other three hacks-in-black on the court are Marxist rubber stamps who could care fuck all about the document they are there to allegedly defend, except when they can use it or more likely distort it like a funhouse mirror if political expediency to advance Marxism dictates. As for Roberts and Coney Island, I think their main concern is maintaining status on the D.C. cocktail party circuit.
The country is gone. What’s going on at the border is just a prime example of not merely this illegitimate junta abandoning its responsibility to defend it, but actively engaging in the border’s destruction, the intentional jettisoning of any kind of sane immigration policy and allowing what amounts to a massive invasion of unvetted foreigners into the country. The most benign of which will destabilize our economy and burden the tax-paying citizenry. Many others will endanger the latter via violent crime – and with the non-prosecution via Soros DAs, this is anarcho-terrorism – while a not insignificant subset of those are hell-bent on committing acts of terrorism, perhaps resulting in mass casualty events similar to if not potentially greater than 9/11/01 itself.
That now puts the floating barricade directly in Governor Greg Abbott’s court. Tucker Carlson had some thoughts on this:
Carlson took to Twitter to claim “everyone in power” has allegedly “decided to destroy the country” in regards to allowing the border crisis to continue. Carlson additionally questioned where the “men of Texas” were, asking why they were not “protecting their state and nation.”
“So it’s unanimous: everyone in power, from the White House, to the hedge fund managers, to the Supreme Court of the United States has decided to destroy the country by allowing it to be invaded. That leaves the population to defend itself. Where are the men of Texas? Why aren’t they protecting their state and the nation?” Carlson tweeted out. . . .
. . . Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has since responded to the ruling on Twitter, saying the legal battle “is not over.” He added that he will “continue to defend Texas’ constitutional authority to secure the border and prevent the Biden [junta] from destroying our property.” The Texas governor emphasized that the razor wire is “an effective deterrent to the illegal crossings” seen at the border.
Governor Abbott, there is no legal battle. The Federal government has obviously, deliberately and intentionally abrogated it’s duty and responsibility to protect the citizenry of your state and the entire nation. They have absolutely shattered the social contract between the citizenry and the people who supposedly elected them (the 2020 stolen election notwithstanding).
The time is now, the place is Texas and the spotlight is on you. There is only one correct, justified and righteous response to the Supreme Court:
NULLIFICATION
By acquiescing to this decision, you will be endangering the lives of your constituents and the American people. You will also send a signal that will embolden the junta to impose whatever other insane tyrannical edicts they want without any consequences.
The line in the sand has got to be drawn here. We may be in a zombie state but very soon now, everything is going to go. For sure if you allow them to flood the country with even more foreign invaders who will do this nation grave harm, whether the invaders intend it or not.
This is it. Do or die. And the NH primary is today, or something.
