Texas Legislature – A Messy Deal!

Our “citizen” legislature has lost direction, again! Governor Abbott called a special session of the bodies for this week and demands the members follow his directives, or else. Backed by Lt. Governor Dan Patrick, Abbott wants a number of bills passed that suit his fancy.

The most talked about discussion is on the so called “bathroom bill”. Simple solution is to let folks enter the bathroom they are dressed for — men to the male bathroom and the folks dressed female to their bathroom. No fuss, no mess, no problem. Seems to me the idiots claiming to be “conservatives” have become radicals with an agenda that knows no end.

Another “want” from the special session calls for an end to any city or other municipality having any control over tree cutting or tree removal on private property. Again, question is why? A developer should not be set free to bulldoze trees anywhere and everywhere on private property. What about trees that have been growing for hundreds of years and are a part of Texas history? Do we condemn those trees to an arrogant homeowner or developer who is out for the almighty dollar? This is just my opinion — but unless we maintain the right of our elected officials in our cities to enforce regulations we have lost a major battle.

President Trump continues to blow smoke about promoting American-made products. But when it comes to his own empire, buying American seems to escape his grasp. Under the umbrella of the “Donald Trump Collection”, the Trump name is on shirts, ties, suits, eyeglasses and other accessories. Few are made in the USA — mostly in Vietnam, China, Bangladesh and China. His touted sport coats are made in India, and lots of the Trump-branded suits are made mostly in Indonesia. But here are a few “wins” for our great nation—“Success by Trump” cologne is made in the U.S. And the Trump campaign “Make America Great Again” ball caps are made in our country. At least a few morsels for the good guys!

That big influx of Muslims from Syria and other war-torn mid-East countries are bringing plenty of problems to their new homes. In Germany, many of the new immigrants are abusing German citizens and bleeding the taxpayers for all they can get. A Syrian Muslim was granted asylum in Germany — along with his four wives and 23 children.

His “benefit check” from the German government is a whopping $390,000 a year. German citizens are outraged at the rip off of their tax dollars — but as long as German leaders make the rules, little is being changed. The Syrian refugee says he has a duty to visit every one of his wives and that means he spends most of his time “visiting” his four wives and his children who live up to 30-miles apart. The refugee says he would “like to work” but his family obligations make holding a job impossible. And plenty of those Muslim newcomers to the U.S. are bleeding our welfare programs for all they can get! That’s enough on that subject!
