Happy Fourth of July, John! I hope the barbecue is ready. Yesterday i found the official homepage of the Texanian government, and was surprised how informative and modern this is. Great honour to Governor Abbott and his team. xx Michael

Sadly, too many Americans today do take our freedoms for granted–especially the First and Second Amendments of the Bill of Rights. The First Amendment protects the Second and the Second is there to protect the First.

  Sadly we have a Congress that is ineffective and a president who is clueless to the Marxist agenda being pushed by whoever is running the place.

    Marxist and Nazi. They both came from Germany which wants to rule the world. They would rather you weren’t aware of that though. Oops, I gave it away.
    
    I am not sure Joe Biden is aware of anything worthwhile nowadays.

      Forgive me, but rather a lot, for better or worse. Here’s a little bit.
      
      The Teutonics made two tonics, both of them Nazi (sic). One of them left Marx (sic) on the skin. Marx (sic) of the beast.
      
      In any event, they both make people sick.
      
      ‘ET tonic US’ is an anagram of Teutonics. This may explain the current problems of the US.
