Secede from U.S. tops Texas GOP’s platform, calls for Legislature to place vote on upcoming election ballot

Texas GOP is calling for the state’s legislature to pass legislation placing Texas independence on the 2023 General Election ballot, ultimately calling for a statewide vote for Texas to return to an independent nation.

The plank, plank 225, received more than 80 percent of delegate votes during June’s convention. Plank 33, calling for State Sovereignty, received more than 88 percent of delegate votes.

“Texas Independence: We urge the Texas Legislature to pass bill in its next session requiring a referendum in the 2023 General Election for the people of Texas to determine whether or not the State of Texas should reassert its status as an independent nation,” Plank 225.

Plank 33 reads, “State Sovereignty: Pursuant to Article 1, Section 1, of the Texas Constitution, the federal government has impaired our right of local self-government. Therefore, federally mandated legislation that infringes upon the 10th Amendment rights of Texas should be ignored, opposed, refused, and nullified. Texas retains the right to secede from the United States, and the Texas Legislature should be called upon to pass a referendum consistent thereto.”

Here’s How Many Illegal Migrants Texas Has Bused To DC

Since Abbott pledged to bus migrants to Washington on April 6, a total of 35 buses have arrived in the nation’s capital in response to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) announcement that Title 42 would end May 23, according to the press release. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is expecting to have to accommodate a surge of migrants, and is adding facilities to be able to hold 18,000 migrants at a time.

Anti-woke University of Austin could reawaken true learning

The best news in academia in a long, long time came with this week’s announcement that distinguished scholars and thinkers are founding a new university “fully committed to freedom of inquiry, freedom of conscience, and civil discourse.”

Put another way, the new University of Austin will stand against “cancel culture,” speech codes, leftist indoctrination, “safe spaces” for students who can’t bear opinions different from their own, obsessions with race and sex to the exclusion of substance, racial preferences in admissions, and hugely expensive administrative staffs.

Interesting, given that Austin is the San Francisco of Texas.
