In response to the devastating vehicle-ramming attack in New Orleans on New Year's Day, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) insinuated that the Biden administration's border policy was to blame — all of which appear now to have jumped the gun.

Glad someone is speaking up about the wide open border between Texas and Louisiana. We've gotta shut that shit down.

Gotta evacuate Robert Evans (podcaster and author of Behind the Bastards and After The Revolution) and all the good people in Austin first, though..

The issue is that Texas state politicians absolutely love to rattle the secession sabor but they all know where their bread is buttered.

They would never actually do it. Their voters don't know that.
