#1 The Little Rock solution might not go well in Texas. A much larger issue is in play here.

#2 3 years ago I would have questioned whether federal troops would have followed those orders, but since Biden/Austin/Milley have gutted the military and replaced it with "Rachel" Levine clones... who knows.

#3 Yes, it will be interesting to see how the Texans handle this. Lucky for them they do not have Kemp and Raffensperger to betray them.

#4 Not that Brandon Inc are that cognizant, but at least the Chinese understood they couldn't use locally based troops to suppress the Tienanmen Square demonstrators. They imported from regional forces to do the dirty work. Too many military installations rely upon too many of their uniformed and civilian personnel to live among the local population.

#5 Ugly times.

"years ago, Ruby Bridges walked to school escorted by four federal marshals as a White mob hurled insults at her"

#6 US Army 452,689.

Texas Population 29.53 million (2021) With lots of pickups and trillions of wild pig rifles. ( And growing fast)

#9 So last week I heard the 82d went on alert over Texas. I heard it was shut down quickly.

#10 I have a very good friend who is a Major in the 82nd. I'm not going to ask him anything because I don't want to put him in jeopardy but I know he is conflicted over all this.

#11 The SCOTUS decision 22 January merely lifted the prohibition on Feds removing the razor wire barrier.

It did not require Texas to remove the wire. It did not forbid Texas from placing more wire.

#13 1. You don't think that this administration can actually DO anyting, do you?
2. This is an election year. Even the MSM couldn't ignore the hideous optics of Biden forcibly opening the border for more illegal immigrants. And the voters (outside the really die-hard Trump-haters) won't like what they see.

#14 The Mexicans don't like the ~~migrants~~ ~~asylum seekers~~ gimmegrants either. When their border with the USA stops being asafety valve, things will change toot sweet on their southern border.

#15 #4, P2K, IIRC, Biden called the Puerto Rico National Guard to fortify Washington DC in the wake of J6.

#20 The Texas State Guard cannot be federalized. While the other two branches of the Texas Military can, the Texas State Guard cannot. It currently has 2,200 people but as a voluntary organization, that could be expanded /very/ rapidly if needed.
