If you are moving to Texas you might want to know this…

Out of 31 mass shootings across the country Texas leads the nation with 8. These include shootings in El Paso, Uvalde, Santa Fe, Austin, Sutherland Springs, Odessa, and Killeen, twice. 142 Texans were killed and 191 wounded. 

Five of these shootings have occurred under the leadership of Greg Abbott. After the latest shooting in Uvalde killing 19 children and 2 teachers, Abbott and the other republicans stopped giving “thoughts and prayers” for fear of being mocked for simply repeating “thoughts and prayers” like they did after Santa Fe and Sutherland Springs, and Odessa, and Killeen, and El Paso.

After the shooting in Santa Fe Lt Governor Dan Patrick vowed to put metal detectors into schools. He never did. In memory of the victims of Santa Fe Greg Abbott signed a bill to allow anyone to carry a loaded assault rifle in public without a license or training. He was proud to have named Texas as a “Sanctuary City” for guns signing seven bills including open carry and allowing the purchase of silencers. None of the parents who lost children at Santa Fe were invited to the signing ceremony.

Texas is leading the nation once again in guns, mass shootings, high electricity rates, high home prices, high home insurance costs, skyrocketing college tuition, and high property taxes. #NoPlaceButTexas

What a great opportunity to actually see what Congressman Brian Babin and Randy Weber look like! After a year in seclusion Babin and Weber will be speaking at the monthly meeting of the Clear Lake Chamber of Commerce at 11:00 PM Wednesday, June 29 at the Clear Lake Hilton.

Tickets are no longer available but anyone can welcome Babin and Weber and thank them for their continued devotion to the NRA, guns, and the right to carry loaded assault weapons in public!

Much like a Texas cicada, Babin and Weber will emerge for a short time, make a lot of noise, then craw back in the hole they came from. Most probably other NRA elected officials will be there like Money Mayes Middleton, Little Baby Briscoe Cain, and Dennis the NRA Bitch Paul.

Come on out!!!

Let’s give credit where credit is due. The gun safety bill of 2022 does something. It gives the NRA bitches of the Republican Party an opportunity to look as if they did something. They didn’t. Here is a simple to understand FAQ on what you and your family can expect from the new gun bill:

• Can 18 year olds still buy an assault weapon? Yes.
• Can 18 year olds still buy high capacity ammunition clips, body armor, and gun silencers? Yes.
• Does the bill create Red Flag laws? No. It only provides funds to states that implement Red Flag laws. Will Texas create a Red Flag law? No. Aint going to happen.
• Does the bill ban high capacity ammunition clips, armor piercing bullets, body armor, or military style assault weapons? No.
• Does the bill provide funding for safer schools. Yes.
• Will the bill provide protection for those who worship in churches? No.
• Will the bill provide protection for those who attend concerts? No.
• Will the bill provide protection for those who shop at Walmart? No.
• Will the bill provide protection for those who dance at night clubs? No.
• Will the bill provide protection for those who work at a job? No.
• Will the bill end the open carry of loaded assault rifles in public? No.
• Is this bill the start of other bills that will address the gun violence in our country that has killed children at school? LOL. You are kidding, right?

What did you expect from a city that voted overwhelmingly for Donald trump?

Friendswood has a great 4th of July parade every year and each year they pick a Grand Marshal. This year that honor went to Haley Carter a decorated Marine Veteran, a Navy Academy graduate, former goalie for the Houston Dash, Lifetime Girl Scout, and according to the City of Friendswood:

Her personal military decorations include the Defense Meritorious Service Medal and the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal (w/ Gold Star in Lieu of Second Award).

And yet just days after receiving this honor she has voluntarily stepped down due to threats to her family and herself. Yep. This is Friendswood. Turns out Haley is also the Chair of the City of Houston Commission Against Gun Violence.

The City will not replace Haley and they shouldn’t. The trash of Friendswood doesn’t deserve Haley or a parade celebrating our freedom after this display of stupidity. This year’s event theme is “Freedom for One & All”. Maybe the City should cancel the parade until the citizens learn what Freedom for One and All really means.

According to the Houston Press this all started with someone named Jesse Kelly:

It all started with Jesse Kelly, a former Marine, failed Arizona congressional candidate, and radio host on 950 KPRC. He is also, in no particular order, a school shooting skeptic, an anti-vaxxer, thinks trans people are “filth,” and has gleefully (if tacitly) encouraged violence against the left many, many times. He has built a career on being as reactionary right wing as possible.

These threats will continue until someone gets their ass sued. Maybe Haley will do it.

As I have said in the past, if you thought the republicans would finally do something about gun safety in this country after the death of 19 little Mexican kids in Uvalde, then you forgot about what they did after 20 little white kids died in Sandy Hook.
