The Great Texas Showdown

The Border, Wild Bill Style

  

Take out the garbage, keep America clean.....

THE WALL..........

My version of this is:  The American President, is trying to find a way to control and keep out illegals who would come in here and cause more criminal activities which in turn would help them take control of our land and people.  Our civil rights will be taken away, to fit their needs. 
For instance:  I refuse to learn Spanish, so I can get a job.  That's what most of your companies and local establishments, put on their job applications.  Must speak Spanish!  I am an American, from birth, and speak only English.  Tell me why I have to learn their language?  They should have to learn English to fit into our country legal rights. 
Another Reason:  Most drug cartels, are doing their best to make America, their dwellings, in order to distribute their illegal drugs, which is killing off our children as well as adults.. 
Reason:  Most fatal accidents on our highways, are made by drunk illegals, who are probably driving cars, that are NOT inspected or legal according to the State/Country laws, for vehicles. 
Reason:  Our people are working to make our lives comfortable.  These people, get everything given to them, while we work our butts off, paying into the government offices, that fund these activities.  This isn't right, but it's happening.  Our people are suffering at the hands of the illegals, who take, what we can't get.
The Wall just shows these people that we are tired of them taking advantage of the American way, to stop their  unwanted dependence on our own way of life.  Our elderly, can't get the food, clothing, medical care, and medicines needed.  Our soldiers can't get proper help, but they can defend our country, against villains, who come here to destroy our country. 
The Wall, would be a symbol against crimes, committed against the American people. 
I say, if you want these people here, then give them your home, to live in, while you move your family out into the streets, to be homeless, while they enjoy your once owned comforts of a home.  Give them your food, and your money, that you work hard for, and tell them they are welcome.  Do this while your family goes without.........  I DARE YOU!  And you say "no wall", and "open borders".  Ha.....what an insane idea, you liberal people, have come up with.........TOTALLY STUPID!

The Border

Grand Jury Still Not Done.......

They're still not done......

106 Indicted in Biker Shootout.....

106 now taken in hand by Grand jury in Texas..... 

Just A Few

During the year 2005, there were 8 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens that crossed our southern border with as many as 19,500 illegal aliens from other terrorist countries. Over 10,000 of those were middle-eastern terrorists. Millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroin, crack, Guns, and marijuana crossed into the U.S.from the southern border.

The People of Texas Say...........

Here are some comments I found from local citizens about the illegals......who cross our borders in search of free benefits...and citizenship of their babies!

All they want is "freebies"!!! They want EVERYTHING for nothing...rent, food, education, medical...etc. and I pay for it with my tax dollars while THEY benefit. I'm working TWO jobs and can't get ANYTHING free because I "make too much".

Ya know...they will say "this was their country to begin with". Time changes...the Alamo proved that! Borders change...respect that or u will suffer consequences! In some places, anyway.

Send them all back they don't have any rights at all they are here illegally, as well as their offspring. 

Why, should we give them benefits, that we can't get?

It's Up

 

Here it is, all atop it's perch waiting for the rest of the construction to finalize.  I'm wondering what will happen to the local Royse City Pharmacy, downtown on Main St., when this store opens.  Then you also have the Walmart pharmacy to counter sales in the local buying area.  Small town for so many big name drug stores.  Time will tell how well this store fares in competition.

CVS Sign

 

Looks as though the new CVS store is well on it's way to completion and that's another addition to our fair town.  Royse City, TX is growing and there's no getting around it.  The new Mayor has been keeping us up to date on all the coming additions to the local area.  The small town I grew up in is now a whopping upscale busy locale.  Here you see the CVS sign being readied for lifting to it's position.

Parkland?

If you have visited Dallas, TX in the last year, then you could have noticed the new Parkland Hospital that being built?  I was born at the old Parkland that many of you don't even know about.  It was over on Maple Ave. at the corner of the Oak Lawn Ave. intersection.  The Parkland that many people refer to is the one on Harry Hines Blvd. that has been  around several decades.  It has plenty of history and even hosted dignitaries during the death of President Kennedy. 
Parking has become a hazard when trying to navigate the different lanes of traffic and get where you need to go.  A real mess has taken place during this new construction. I hope things calm down and become easier to experience, because of the different benefits this hospital has to offer.

The Border

A good plan for the border........

Prison Break

The news is reporting that there has been a prison break in Mexico.  The prison is in the area of Piedras Negras and they are predicting that there are over 132 prisoners missing.  It seems that they escaped from Cereso prison through a tunnel which came from the old carpentry workshop.  Wire was then cut surrounding the complex.
There is speculation that corrupt prison officials may have been involved in the break.  This prison is located around 150 miles southwest of San Antonio, Tx.  Reports say that there is a reward for the help in capturing each prisoner.

Bodies Found Central Mexico

Authorities aren't saying who they think is behind the killings but the area is a cartel battleground and the groups often leave such grisly remains behind when they fight for control of trafficking routes and markets. The mutilated bodies of 17 men were found on a farm in a part of central Mexico Sunday. This area is disputed by drug cartels. The identities of the slain weren't revealed, but the bodies were naked, mutilated and stacked with chains around their necks. They had been killed at another place and brought to that property.  They were found near a highway in the town of Tizapan el Alto near the border between Jalisco and Michoacan. Michoacan is home to the Familia Michoacana and Caballeros Templarios groups.  Jalisco has seen violence by the Zetas and Jalisco Nueva Generacion cartels. Signs were placed in various areas of Jalisco last week by the Caballeros Templarios which threatened the Zetas and Jalisco Nueva Generacion. Over 47,500 people have been killed in the drug violence since December 2006, some groups say the figures are higher.

Travel Warning

The U.S. State Department issued a Travel Warning about Tamaulipas in February, and on Tuesday noted that it "continues to advise U.S. citizens to defer non-essential travel to the state of Tamaulipas." Tuesday, the day of the arrests and the unsealing of the indictment, urges U.S. citizens in Mexico to be on guard. "Given the history and resources of this violent TCO, the U.S. Embassy urges U.S. citizens to maintain a low profile and a heightened sense of awareness." American travelers to Mexico should beware of possible violent retaliation for this week's arrest of alleged Zetas drug cartel associates and family members inside the U.S., the U.S. State Department has warned.
I found this warning on a website and thought you might want to see it, because of it's nature.........

The Border

During the recent weeks and months there have been horrendous attacks on people who live in and around the areas of the Texas/Mexico borders.  Gangs who are associated with different drug cartels have advance their attacks against local law enforcement personnel as well as local citizens.  These attacks are an attempt to control the drug traffic which they have been maintaining along the border areas.  Texas has issued warnings to would be traveler's to stay away from these border towns when going on vacations.  It has become too dangerous to travel to these areas because of the drug wars that are going on.  Mexico has said that this is causing them to loose needed revenue during the vacation season, and is simply untrue.  Yet we see recent accounts of beheaded bodies being strewn alongside a road in a certain area of Mexico.  This leaves us with an uneasy feeling about crossing the border into Mexico or even being close to those border towns.

Synthetic Marijuana.......

The synthetic marijuana is legal in most parts of Texas and the United States. But alarmed by its growing use and easy availability, states and local governments are now scrambling to take "fake weed" off the streets. Authorities say the fake weed appears easily accessible to teenagers. It can be bought in head shops and at gas stations – and also from anyone who can buy the chemical that is sprayed onto herbs to make the product.
Seven head shops in the Dallas area declined to comment on their sale of K2. None would talk about how old – or young – their buyers are, although many shops claim to sell only to adults. Known on the streets as "spice," "genie" or "zohai," K2 is a mix of herbs and flowers sprayed with synthetic cannabinoids. Depending on the potency, it can sell for $30 to $50 for 3 grams. The chemical compound in the spray is similar to THC, the natural active ingredient in marijuana. But it is untraceable in drug tests.
