Texans Need To Demand Real Leadership

     Greg Abbott blamed windmills for causing the Texas power outage on FOX News in spite of the fact that Texas' deregulated power grid runs on natural gas and took Biden's aid before immediately saying they had no use for a federal government.

     Ted Cruz flew to Mexico (of all places), lied about his trip, blamed his daughters, left his dog while he was gone, and then took a photo op at a food shelter before joking about dead Texans at CPAC. His wife is a majority shareholder in Goldman-Sachs, which runs the grid, and Cruz was bitten in the ass by tweets from 2019 mocking California's power outage.

     Other GOP remarks? "Texans would be willing to die if it meant the federal government left them alone." President Biden's bus was almost run off the road by Texans in October, and in February he sent massive aid in their time of need. That's leadership: people over pettiness. 

     And the power crisis is not the only example. Biggest coronavirus risk in the United States? Must be Hispanic immigrants and not undoing the mask mandate. Elections? Only rigged if the GOP doesn't win. Secession? Still on the table. Texas is better than the crooks running it: it is time Texas demands real leadership.
