Texas Flags Through History

 

The Lone Star Struggle

 Texas Ranchers—a resilient breed, weathered by sun and soil, their legacy etched into the very landscape they tend. As the scorching Texas sun climbs high, these stewards of the land brace themselves for another summer of challenges and triumphs.

Drought and Extreme Heat

For the second consecutive summer, drought and extreme heat bear down on Texas ranchers. The parched earth cracks, and the grass—once lush and green—now withers. Cattle seek shade under sparse mesquite trees, their hides dusty and eyes weary. Water sources dwindle, and the land thirsts for relief1.

Thinning Herds

Ranchers face tough decisions. To save on animal feed and hay costs, some consider thinning their herds. It’s a financial balancing act—a delicate dance between preserving the future and surviving the present. The cattle, too, feel the strain—their ribs more pronounced, their bellies hollow. Yet, resilience runs deep in their veins, passed down through generations of survival1.

The Call of the Range

As the sun blazes overhead, the Texas Ranchers ride tall. Their boots kick up dust, their voices echo across open plains. They know that summers come and go, but the spirit of the ranch endures—a balefire of change against the vast Texas sky.

So, here’s to the Ranchers—the stewards, the heroes, the heartbeat of the land. May they find strength in each sunrise and solace in the star-studded nights. 🌵🤠🐄

The Texas Capitol: Building for the Ages

The Texas capital building is the seat of government for the state of Texas, located in downtown Austin. It is a historic landmark that was built from 1882 to 1888 in the Italian Renaissance Revival style. It is one of the tallest state capitols in the nation, and it has a distinctive red granite exterior. The building houses the offices and chambers of the Texas Legislature and the Governor of Texas, as well as public art, museums, and gardens.

Texas Cattle

 Texas cattle are a type of beef cattle that derive from the Spanish cattle brought to the Americas by the conquistadors. They are known for their long horns, which can span more than 8 feet from tip to tip, and their high tolerance of heat and drought. They are part of the cultural heritage of Texas and have a history of being used for ranching and rodeos. You can read more about Texas cattle from these sources: Texas Longhorn - Wikipedia, Texas Longhorns in State Parks, Texas Cattle Prices.

Texas Borders, Still Full

Yes, it seems that the Texas border is still facing a high number of migrant crossings, despite the efforts of the state and federal authorities to deter and manage them. According to the web search results, the Texas border has seen nearly 400,000 migrant encounters this year, many of whom are from Haiti, Venezuela, and other countries1 Some of the factors that contribute to the influx of migrants are the end of Title 42, a COVID-era policy that limited asylum claims, the word-of-mouth or social media messages that the border is open, and the economic and political crises in the migrants’ home countries

The situation at the Texas border has caused various challenges and controversies, such as the closure of some ports of entry, the overcrowding and inhumane conditions of the makeshift camps, the aggressive tactics of some law enforcement officers, and the political and public backlash against the Biden administration and the Texas governor  The US government and its partners are trying to address the crisis by providing humanitarian assistance, expediting the processing and removal of migrants, increasing the border security and cooperation, and supporting the diplomatic and development efforts in the region

However, the Texas border crisis is not likely to be resolved soon, as the root causes of migration are complex and deep-rooted, and the solutions are limited and contested. The Texas border may continue to see more migrants arriving in the coming months, as the weather improves and the demand for labor increases Therefore, the Texas border remains a hot spot for migration, humanitarian, and security issues

Children Used For Money

So for each child they receive $400. Now there is another “wet foot dry foot” policy. That group of people are paid with a refuge check $2400 a month plus free health and food stamps, We are just a gift tree and they all know it. These checks need to stop and funds need to be redirected to the BORDER WALL.

Buses Bringing Illegals Here

Over 80 buses arrived in Piedras Negras Coahuila Mexico yesterday. They were placed in a holding area but there were several violent fights and many left, crossing the Rio Grande.  This information, was given to me today, by a lady who lives in Eagle Pass, TX.  How can they cross the Rio Grande, without permission?  Isn't there enough border guards, to control and prevent this?  I don't think so......now, trouble will really begin.  Looting, raping, robberies, you name it......
