Governor Abbott Issues Statement On Texas’ Constitutional Right To Self-Defense

Governor Greg Abbott today issued a statement on Texas’ constitutional right to defend and protect itself as President Joe Biden continues to attack Texas and refuse to perform his duties to secure the border.

"The Executive Branch of the United States has a constitutional duty to enforce federal laws protecting States, including immigration laws on the books right now," reads the statement. "President Biden has instructed his agencies to ignore federal statutes that mandate the detention of illegal immigrants. The failure of the Biden Administration to fulfill the duties imposed by Article IV, § 4 has triggered Article I, § 10, Clause 3, which reserves to this State the right of self-defense. For these reasons, I have already declared an invasion under Article I, § 10, Clause 3 to invoke Texas’s constitutional authority to defend and protect itself. That authority is the supreme law of the land and supersedes any federal statutes to the contrary."

How might China, Russia, Iran and North Korea plot to destroy America?

Suppose China’s Xi Jinping, Russia’s Vladimir Putin, Iran’s Ali Khamenei and North Korea’s Kim Jung Un got together to plot the destruction of America. How might these dictators and evildoers proceed?

Chess grandmaster Putin might offer as Step 1 a Russian invasion of Ukraine. Mr. Putin knows that checker player President Biden will immediately support Ukraine with massive military and financial aid. This, in turn, will begin to strategically drain the U.S. military’s “arsenal of democracy” while driving America further into its increasingly crippling debt.

Have Our Elites Lost The Mandate Of Heaven?

All nation-states have some version of the consent of the governed, which is based on the idea that rulers are granted authority because they have unique powers that benefit the commoners. This power might be supernatural, as in a priest-class which claimed that its rituals insured bountiful harvests, or a natural superiority such as being a successful general and compelling leader. Whatever the source of the elite's power, if the elite failed to deliver the implicitly promised benefits to commoners--bountiful harvests, security from invasion, etc.--then the consent of the governed could be withdrawn, as the elites had failed to hold up their end of the bargain.
