This removes all doubt that Biden passed away some time ago and has been replaced by a robot running on Gemini AI.

[Stephen Moylan @field_ream]

@NikkiHaley You forgot to mention that 21% of Democrats in that poll favored you over Biden, but virtually no Dems would be voting for you in November. Not to worry. You won't be on the GOP ballot in November.

[Stephen Moylan @field_ream]

@mrtimchan Us, none. You can wear whatever mask you want. But, we'll know who you really are.

[Stephen Moylan @field_ream]

@RepThomasMassie At the time it was passed, virtually all involved claimed that wages were not income and would not be taxed. A simple law raising the personal exemption to say, 5x mean income, or defining 'income' for constitutional application is all that's needed .

It is February 24th. 188 years ago today, William Travis wrote probably the most famous document in the annals of Texas history. Remarkably, given the conditions under which it was written and sent out from the Alamo, Travis' letter still exists.

Commandancy of the Alamo—
Bejar, Fby. 24th 1836

To the People of Texas & All Americans in the World:
Fellow citizens & compatriots—I am besieged, by a thousand or more of the Mexicans under Santa Anna—I have sustained a continual Bombardment & cannonade for 24 hours & have not lost a man. The enemy has demanded a surrender at discretion, otherwise, the garrison are to be put to the sword, if the fort is taken—I have answered the demand with a cannon shot, & our flag still waves proudly from the walls. I shall never surrender or retreat. Then, I call on you in the name of Liberty, of patriotism & everything dear to the American character, to come to our aid, with all dispatch—The enemy is receiving reinforcements daily & will no doubt increase to three or four thousand in four or five days. If this call is neglected, I am determined to sustain myself as long as possible & die like a soldier who never forgets what is due to his own honor & that of his country—Victory or Death.

William Barret Travis

Lt. Col. comdt

P.S. The Lord is on our side—When the enemy appeared in sight we had not three bushels of corn—We have since found in deserted houses 80 or 90
bushels & got into the walls 20 or 30 head of Beeves.

Travis

@rshereme There no guessing about your vast ignorance about WW II. Not only did the USSR take Berlin by prior agreement, about 80% of ~3M German POWs held by Russia were never returned. Can you handle basic math?

[Stephen Moylan @field_ream]

@ImMeme0 Great! We Texans have *literally* millions of illegals that we'll be happy to send to Illinois. We'll even cover the transportation cost to get them there. Of course, if Pritzker really meant it, he'd send buses to Texas to pick them up!

@TracesofTexas As a small child, I remember my mother sporting such a hairstyle. She used so much hairspray, that to this very day, I cannot stand the smell of hairspray.

@SenWarren @POTUS Don't complain when we have a new form of "good government" in 2025. One that among other things, doesn't permit a white woman to commit race fraud, denying a more-worthy student from their future.

Good morning, you crazy Texans. Not sure how I managed to sleep through my alarm but I swear it had nothing to do with tequila!

Today's Beautiful Texas photo is a gob-smackingly gorgeous shot of sunrise on Caddo Lake that TOT reader Hilary Landrum sent in. Hilary and her husband went on an early-morning tour of the lake to celebrate their anniversary and were amazed at this scene. Even their guide, who had spent years on the lake, said he'd never seen it prettier. Thank you, Hilary. SPECTACULAR!

If you've got a Beautiful Texas photo you'd like to see here on Traces of Texas, please send it to me at my email address. If you'd include "Beautiful Texas" in the subject line, I'd be very much indebted to you.

The woke mind virus is killing Western Civilization.

Google does the same thing with their search results. Facebook & Instagram too.

And Wikipedia.

[Stephen Moylan @field_ream]

@elonmusk And Netflix, Prime Video, Max, etc.

@clownworld That is why some will always vote Democrat.

Nobody should receive an increase of more than one child after initial enrollment.

@TracesofTexas The good new is one could say the same, "Nobody ever left my home cold or hungry" of most Texans.

Truth is, in all my travels, that proved true virtually everywhere in the world, no matter how poor the home.

[Stephen Moylan @field_ream]

@BillMelugin_ Couldn't care less. Deport the lot.

[Stephen Moylan @field_ream]

@NikkiHaley A bill you don't fit. You're not a true conservative, nor populist~conservative. Nothing you've said indicates any hope of serving the real wants of the vast majority of GOP voters Often you sound like W. 2.0.

[Unbiased Crime Report @UnbiasedCrime]

The @ILStatePolice registry had so many misclassifications I had to modify how I save the data... 🤦‍♂️

[Stephen Moylan @field_ream]

@nickshirleyy @FiveTimesAugust Of course not! Most sadly, 90% of taxpayers (albeit relatively small taxpayers), are actually hurt by the income taxes they pay. Most of them could put an extra $1k-$2k annually to good use. Their kids suffer to aid military-age male aliens.

[Stephen Moylan @field_ream]

@ScottAdamsSays The FDA, USDA, and a lot of the Fed 'blob' has made it so. It's an easy fix, if Trump wins and if Trump cleans house.

Pessimistically, big ifs.
