From @DallasExpress: "State Rep. Brian Harrison (R-District 10) has rallied more than two dozen organizations behind a demand for Gov. Greg Abbott (R) to call a special legislative session to restrict the governor’s emergency powers before Gov.-elect Gina Hinojosa (D) takes office. Harrison announced the coalition Thursday on X. The groups he listed include Grassroots America We the People, True Texas Project, Texas Eagle Forum, Citizens for Renewing America, Texas Gun Rights, Gun Owners of America and American Principles Project, alongside local Republican organizations. “No Governor of either party should ever wield unchecked, total power to both write and enforce laws by edict!” Harrison wrote. Harrison described the alliance as the largest coalition of its kind seeking limits on emergency powers. His office also reported that he delivered 15,000 petitions to Abbott’s office supporting a special session. The coalition expands Harrison’s push after Hinojosa defeated Abbott in the November 3 election, as previously reported by The Dallas Express. In an interview with The Dallas Express, Harrison argued that emergency powers threaten the Legislature’s authority. “This is tyrannical. It’s unconstitutional. It renders the people powerless because their elected representatives in the legislative branch are irrelevant,” Harrison said. “Greg Abbott’s still the governor for nine more weeks, and he needs to start acting like it. He needs to call us back.” What the law allows Texas Government Code Chapter 418 gives the governor’s disaster orders the force of law. Section 418.016 allows the governor to suspend regulatory statutes governing procedures for state business, along with state agency orders or rules, when strict compliance would hinder necessary disaster response. A disaster declaration lasts no more than 30 days unless the governor renews it. The Legislature can end a declaration by law. Harrison said the scope of that authority shocked him and warned that governors could use it to sideline lawmakers. “The legislative branch becomes irrelevant. All of our laws can be just thrown right out the window,” he said. The statute limits suspension authority to specified laws and rules tied to disaster response; it does not expressly authorize a governor to discard every state law. Harrison sought restrictions while Abbott held office, including through House Bill 911 for the 2023 session. That proposal would have removed certain statute-suspension powers, required legislative approval to renew disaster declarations beyond 30 days and imposed time limits and other safeguards on orders affecting constitutional rights. The bill also called for expedited court challenges. It stalled in the House State Affairs Committee. Harrison also filed House Bill 708 on November 9 for the 2027 regular session. The bill would require legislative approval to extend disaster declarations beyond 30 days, remove the governor’s authority under Chapter 418 to suspend statutes and limit certain orders affecting constitutional rights to 30 days unless lawmakers extend them. Harrison rejects calls to wait Harrison criticized Republicans who argue that Democratic lawmakers could deny a special session the quorum needed to conduct business. “Voters in Texas are sick and tired of Republicans promising to fight for their freedom, but at every single opportunity, they will make any excuse for inaction, any excuse for surrender,” Harrison said. He questioned whether critics had evidence that Democrats would refuse to participate. “Have the Democrats made those statements on the record? Do the Democrats disagree with what I’m saying?” Harrison said Republicans should use every available tool to limit the damage he believes Democrats could cause during their four years in power. “Anything short of that is a dereliction of duty,” he said. He acknowledged that a special session might not produce the restrictions he wants, but argued that inaction would eliminate any chance of passage. “These people who call themselves Republicans, they should be forced to defend why surrender is preferable to fighting.” Harrison pointed to past Democratic interest in curbing executive authority as a reason to test whether lawmakers could reach an agreement. He also contrasted the coalition’s support with resistance from Republican colleagues. “I am uniting with the people. I am uniting with the conservative patriots across the state of Texas,” Harrison told The Dallas Express. “Colleagues are continuing to marginalize themselves from the conservative grassroots that they promised they would fight for.” He said he intends to remain outspoken about Republican leadership after the election. “Look, Texas needs Republican leadership now more than ever.” “I will continue to be that voice because we’re going to need somebody to stand up and show Texas what it means to be a real Republican in the Texas government.”

I'd rather fund updating air traffic control systems here in America than pay for free healthcare for illegal aliens But that's just me

I was never racist until you bastards flooded us with tens of millions of degenerates from every dark, shit hole corner of the universe. I was never racist until you then fed them, Housed them, Clothed them, & gave them free healthcare on my dime. I was never racist until those same degenerates started raping & murdering my people. I was never racist until I watched you defend those illegal alien child rapists, traffickers & murderers. I was never racist until you took to the streets, blocking ICE & assaulting law enforcement just to further defend those degenerates against deportation. I was never racist until hundreds of billions of our taxpayer dollars were stripped away from us by tens of thousands of inbred, bubble head, low IQ leeches that do not belong here. I was never racist until you fkers went overboard and out of your way to replace American workers & American lives with illegal aliens & basically any foreigner that wasn’t white. I was never racist until you then created DEI policies to further rub that salt in our wounds, passing up over qualified white Americans just so you retards could check a quota box.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Father GOES OFF against a Texas school giving out SHARIA pamphlets and Hijabs "Hijabs, Qurans, Sharia? Sharia treats half this room like SH**! This is NOT A MUSLIM NATION. This is a CHRISTIAN NATION. FIRE the principal!" REPEL ISLAM! 🔥

The vast majority of Texans, especially outside of Austin, had ZERO clue who Gina Hinajosa even was I PROMISE YOU she did not legitimately get 5,230,789 votes!! This has to be investigated and CANNOT be certified!!

🚨BREAKING: Famous actor, Kevin Sorbo, calls for EVERY city in America to have a billboard stating: "America does not need to see the tax return of a billionaire who became a public servant. America needs to see the tax returns of public servants who became millionaires while being public servants."

Texans know that the Great Republic of Texas did not turn Blue, It is a pure Red State. The Mid Term Election of 2026 was fraudulent. Mail in ballots by the thousands were cast by voters that had not been vetted for United States citizenship. We are a Republican Red State now and forever. This travesty could have been prevented by Senate Majority Leader John Thune by pushing the Save America Act through the Senate. He CHOOSE not to. He should never be allowed to be a member of Republican leadership again. He betrayed the Republican voters that put him in office. This election should be audited thoroughly, but we know that it will not be, and that our Republican leaders will avoid the hard work to fight back and will tuck tail and slink of into the dark like they always do.

DIVORCE AGREEMENT THIS IS INCREDIBLY WELL-PUT, AND I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE IT'S WRITTEN BY A STUDENT!!! WHATEVER HE RUNS FOR, I'LL VOTE FOR HIM. Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists, and Obama supporters, et al: We have stuck together since the late 1950s for the sake of the kids, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has clearly run its course. Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right for us all, so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way. Here is our separation agreement: Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by land mass, each taking a similar portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets, since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes. —We don't like redistributive taxes, so you can keep them. --You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU. --Since you hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA, and the military. --We'll take the nasty, smelly oil industry and the coal mines, and you can go with wind, solar, and bio-diesel. --You can keep Oprah, Whoopi, Bill Maher, Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell. You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all five of them. --We'll keep capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart, and Wall Street. --You can have your beloved lifelong welfare dwellers, food stamps, homeless, homeboys, hippies, druggies, and illegal aliens. --We'll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEOs, and rednecks. --We'll keep Bill O’Reilly and Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood. --You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us. --You can have the peaceniks and war protesters. --When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we'll help provide them security. --We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values. --You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism, political correctness, and Shirley McLaine. You can also have the UN., but we will no longer be paying the bill. --We'll keep the SUVs, pickup trucks, and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Volt and Leaf you can find. --You can give everyone health care if you can find any practicing doctors. --We'll keep "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "The National Anthem." --I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute "Imagine," "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing," "Kum Baya," or "We Are the World." --We'll practice trickle-down economics and you can continue to give trickle-up poverty your best shot. --Since it often so offends you, we'll keep our history, our name, and our flag. Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along to other like-minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just hit delete. In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll bet you might think about which one of us will need whose help in 15 years. Sincerely, John J. Wall Law Student and an American P.S. Also, please take George Clooney, Ted Turner, Sean Penn, Martin Short, Charlie Sheen, Barbra Streisand, and (Hanoi) Jane Fonda with you. P.P.S. And you won't have to press 1 for English when you call our country. Forward This Every Time You Get It ! Let's Keep This Going, Maybe Some Of It Will Start Sink in.
