1/9 Good morning my band of truth seekers and warriors in the fight fir a better tomorrow. Despite a few stutters, the Biden administration is making good steady progress on all fronts. I was tied up video editing all yesterday, so I need to play catch up, but he’s going early ..
2/9 ..on immigration and that is a bold step indeed. It’s the graveyard of many policy attempts, but worth an early punt. I want to study it a little more before diving in. In my research for my Texas video, I saw what it is that drives me to be here. Naked unbridled worship of
3/9 ..money at any cost. Even in the face of abject misery for millions of Texans, Rick Perry was making belligerent statements on behalf of people he hadn’t asked, about keeping federal power regulators out of Texas business. He and his kind had been caught with their pants ..
4/9 ..around their ankles and the answer is, attack regulation. There it is folks, the same cult story Trump sold every day for 4 years. It’s a story much harder to follow if your pipes have burst, you have no power and no insurance. Republican greed comes at the expense of ..
5/9 .everyone. The state government and its oil and gas friends, collude to cut corners for increased profit, in the knowledge that if the wheels come off the bus, insurance companies will repair the damage and the government will help those uninsured. Yes a few people might die
6/9 ..but just like Trump killed 400,000 Americans before leaving office, wealth and power wins over any duty of care. Biden rightly offered a speedy hand to help Texans. It’s who he is. There are no red states or blue states in his America. That does not excuse the gross
7/9 ..negligent behaviour of Texas state authorities over the last decade. The most abhorrent behaviour I’ve left until last. Governor Abbott’s pathetic blaming of the problems on the ‘Green New Deal’ aided and abetted by Fox News. He was using his own failures to blame it on a
8/9 ..policy that doesn’t even exist. Playing the fear card whilst at the same time holding his hand out for help from the new administration. All while people were in a sea of freezing despair. His swift game of blame deflection was embarrassing. As a governor, he has been an
9/9 ..abject failure. His management of the Covid crisis was a disaster, causing the deaths of nearly 42k Texans. It’s time for his state to wake up and smell the coffee. He didn’t freeze, his pipes didn’t burst and Ted Cruz thought it better to find some sun. Never forget.
