If it wasn't for illegals, Texas would not have an economy.
The Fed backed down from RealID because many states besides Texas couldn't afford the equipment.
We have parts of realID implemented in driver licenses but the Fed pulled back on the full implementation of RealID.

I can't remember the last time the states and the federal government were at each others throats like this. You may be right on.

I say, give the big gov libs and their pet minorities/welfare parasites their own region and the small gov, redneck, self-reliant "extremists" another region.

This nation is split/fractured/divided beyond repair. Time for the states to ask for their sovereignty back.

If he still smoking cigs, he is dumb. The President of the United States should be above bad habits and addictions of any kind.

His wife doesn't want french fries in public schools yet he can smoke.

Makes complete sense.

Except for money and power addictions. To each is own, who the hell cares if someone likes tobacco, coffee, beer, big fat burgers, wine tasting drunks in suits. Life is too short to be passing judgement on others when our own eyes are closed to our own freaky fetishes.
