    “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

    Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

      Can’t imagine the paperwork I’d have to fill out.

      Education is extremely important.

          Probably not, but Texas is a unique state. They were a republic before entering the Union.

            That brings up another question...If states knew joining the union was a one-way street, would they have joined?

              Not sure if it is in the constitution or where, but isn't there are pretty big requirement for a state to leave? Something like 66% of the states have to agree, plus some other things.

                Weird. A referendum not for the voters of Texas, but for the GOP primary voters. Not even binding on the GOP let alone the state.

                Thank you for your attention to this matter.

                  Not weird to me. With a few minor tweaks and tailorings, it sounds like a distraction tactic the ruling United Conservative Party here in Alberta would conjure up from nothing to keep its populist base revved up
                  against all things Ottawa.

                  Elbows up!

                    I think they're sticking a toe in the water and gauging the temp.
