In November ungrateful Honduran migrant “Lady Frijoles” upset her Mexican caretakers when she complained to reporters about the free beans and tortillas provided to the members of the caravan camping out in Tijuana, Mexico.

The Honduran woman interviewed by the reporter described the free meals given to her as ‘pig food.’

“The food that they’re handing out here is terrible. Refried beans? As if they were feeding the pigs. If we don’t eat this, we will die of hunger,” the ungrateful Honduran migrant said.

Washington (AFP) - The US states of Texas and Arizona on Friday announced plans to send National Guard troops to the southern border with Mexico after President Donald Trump ordered a thousands-strong deployment to combat drug trafficking and illegal immigration.

The Texas National Guard said it would send 250 troops to the border within 72 hours and had already deployed two Lakota helicopters, while Arizona's governor said he would send 150 personnel next week.

AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - Two package bombs left outside homes in Austin, Texas, exploded on Monday, killing a teenager and injuring two women in attacks that police linked to a deadly blast earlier this month.

The latest bombings came as the Texas capital hosted its annual South by Southwest music, technology and film festival downtown. The victims in all three cases were African-American or Hispanic, and police said they were examining the attacks as possible hate crimes.

In just the last few days, two more officers have been killed, one in Texas and one in Illinois.

Despite the lack of evidence that there IS an increase in cops shooting blacks, a few recent killings of blacks by cops has spawned the #BlackLivesMatter movement.

Last year, 6000 blacks killed other blacks, dwarfing the tiny number of blacks killed by cops. Nearly all the cops who killed blacks--and whites for that matter--are vindicated by an investigation or not charged by a grand jury or are acquitted 100 by a jury.

In Chicago alone, 40 people are killed each month, most of them black.

And 75% of the cases are unsolved! 

Crickets.

Texas Man Shoots Armadillo, Gets Hit In Face By Bullet Ricochet

By Lisa Maria Garza, July 31, 2015 Yahoo

DALLAS (Reuters) - An East Texas man was wounded after he fired a gun at an armadillo in his yard and the bullet ricocheted back to hit him in his face, the county sheriff said on Friday.

Cass County Sheriff Larry Rowe said the man, who was not identified, went outside his home in Marietta, southwest of Texarkana, at around 3 a.m. on Thursday morning. He spotted the armadillo on his property and opened fire.

"His wife was in the house. He went outside and took his .38 revolver and shot three times at the armadillo," Rowe said.

Donald Trump Makes A Texas-size Splash With Visit To Mexican Border

By James Hohmann, July 23, 2015
Washington Post

LAREDO, Tex. — A defiant Donald Trump, visiting the U.S. border with Mexico here Thursday, said again that he will not apologize for his hard-line rhetoric on illegal immigration or back away from his plan to build a wall between the two nations.

During a whirlwind visit — it was less than three hours from when his jet touched down to when it took off — Trump blazed around in a presidential-style motorcade that included seven SUVs and even more police cars. Local officers blocked off roads, including Interstate 35, for Trump’s entourage.

The Republican presidential candidate, leading the GOP field in national polls but increasingly under fire from the establishment wing of his party, said repeatedly that he had been told he would be in “great danger” if he visited this town of 236,000 in southern Texas — even though Laredo, which is roughly 96 percent Hispanic, has a significantly lower murder rate than Trump’s home town of New York City. He would not say who had told him that he was at risk.

Illegal Alien Crime Wave in Texas: 611,234 Crimes, 2,993 Murders

By Christian Adams, July 22, 2015
PJMedia

The murder of Kathryn Steinle on the Embarcadero in San Francisco by an illegal alien is the most familiar example of a crime committed by an alien.  But an unreleased internal report by the Texas Department of Public Safety reveals that aliens have been involved in thousands of crimes in Texas alone, including nearly 3,000 homicides.

PJ Media obtained an never-before-released copy of a Texas DPS report on human smuggling containing the numbers of crimes committed by aliens in Texas.   According to the analysis conducted by the Texas Department of Public Safety, foreign aliens committed 611,234 unique crimes in Texas from 2008 to 2014, including thousands of homicides and sexual assaults.

Video Shows How Traffic Stop Escalated Into Confrontation

By Michael Graczyk, July 22, 2015 Yahoo

HEMPSTEAD, Texas (AP) — A police dashboard video released Tuesday shows that a Texas state trooper tried to pull a black motorist out of her car, then drew his stun gun and threatened her after she refused to follow his orders during a traffic stop.

The roadside encounter swiftly escalated into a shouting confrontation as the officer attempted to drag 28-year-old Sandra Bland from her vehicle, with the officer at one point saying, "I will light you up," as he held the stun gun.

Days later, Bland was found dead in a jail cell in a case that has caused her family and supporters to dispute that she hanged herself with a plastic garbage bag, as authorities have said.

Texas Wants Its Gold Back Inside The State's Borders 

By Will Weissert, Jul. 4, 2015, Associated Press

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- Forget Fort Knox or the Federal Reserve. Texas has decided to start keeping its gold holdings within in its own borders. But what makes sense politically in such a sovereignty-loving place is creating a logistical conundrum.

Texas is the only state that owns an actual stockpile of gold, according to public sector and financial industry experts - not just gold futures or investment positions, but approximately 5,600 gold bars worth around $650 million. The holdings, stored at a New York bank, for some harken back to century-old fears about the security of currency not backed by shiny bullion.

The Legislature's decision this summer to bring its gold cache home was hailed by many conservatives, and even some on the far left, who are suspicious of national government.

McKinney Mom From Pool Party Video Speaks: “This Is Not About Black & White”

By CBS Dallas Fort Worth, Jun. 16, 2015

CALIFORNIA (CBSDFW.COM) – Speaking for the first time, hundreds of miles away from her North Texas home, Tracy Carver Allbritton gave her account of the June 5 incident at a McKinney pool that made international headlines.

Surrounded by her lawyer, Gloria Allred and African-American friend of more than a decade, Aaron Clark, Tracy spoke about the afternoon she took her two children, grandchild and a visiting friend to the Craig Ranch North Community Pool, where she has lived for 11 years.

She says she noticed about an hour after she arrived at the pool, a BBQ with a DJ was being set up outside the pool gates. Within a half an hour, several of the party goers had made their way into the pool area.

“By the time our security officer arrived for his scheduled shift, the pool had been overtaken by unruly teenagers and young adults,” said Tracy. She says many of them became upset when they were asked for key cards to prove their residency and complained it was because of the color of their skin. However, she said everyone at the pool, including herself, was asked to prove they lived in the community.

Perry To Hillary: Fix Your Own State Before You Attack The People Of Texas

By Pam Key, Jun. 7, 2015, Breitbart

Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” former Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX) reacted to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton accusing Republicans of intentionally attempting to disenfranchise voters based on race, age and poverty level and said she insulted the people of Texas who overwhelmingly supported the law.

Perry said, “Well, I think it’s way outside the norm of ridiculous, if you want to know the truth of the matter, to call out the people of the state of Texas, that’s what she did, I just happened to be the governor that signed that legislation and support it, and the vast majority of the people of Texas support it, and what Secretary Clinton did was saying the state of Texas didn’t.”

He continued, “Why would you say that you need a photo id to get a library book or to get on an airplane? This is a state issue, and this is an issue that the people that the state of Texas overwhelmingly support. so you know, I don’t know who she is playing to, but she is not playing to the people of Texas and I don’t think she is playing to the Americans that believe that the sanctity of the vote is really important and you need to have a photo id to go and vote. And the people of Texas wanted it, and whichever state Hillary Clinton considers to be her home state, she goes home and argues there to not to have it.”

Rick Perry Unveils New Logo For Presidential Run 

By Sarah Rumpf, Jun. 3, 2015, Breitbart

ADDISON, Texas — “Tomorrow is a big day,” wrote former Texas Governor Rick Perry on his Facebook page Wednesday afternoon, inviting supporters to join him on Thursday for a “major announcement” at the Addison Airport, just north of Dallas. Because of campaign finance regulations, Perry has carefully avoided saying what we all assumed he was planning: a second run at the White House.

Just after midnight Thursday morning, the news was confirmed: Perry is running for president. Perry’s website, RickPerry.org, had been updated to say “Perry for President,” and a new logo was unveiled:

Domestic Violence Offenders Giving Up Guns In Texas

By 11 Alive, May 31, 2015, NBC News

(NBC News) -- Since the first week of May, a sheriff's deputy stationed inside Dallas' DFW Gun Range has had a unique assignment: confiscate and catalog guns given up by domestic violence offenders.

It's the first time in Texas that government is teaming up with a private gun range to collect firearms from convicted batterers in Dallas County — and advocates hope it's an approach that can serve as a role model nationwide.

Dallas, where domestic homicides have been on the rise in recent years, is a prime place to start. Domestic violence has gotten so out of hand in Texas' third-largest city that Mayor Mike Rawlings previously told NBC News the crime is "the biggest act of terrorism," shrouded behind closed doors and spoken of in hushed tones.

Tesla Won't Be Selling In Texas

By Yoni Heisler, May 20, 2015, BGR.com

Despite Tesla’s best efforts, the Texas legislature this week opted not to pass a bill which would have allowed the electric automaker to sell cars directly to consumers. Instead, if Tesla wants to sell its highly revered vehciles in the lone star state, it looks like it’s going to have to do it through local franchise dealers, something the company has no intention of doing.

Unfortunately, this is a story we’ve seen play time and time again in many states over the past few years. Tesla, which prefers (read: demands) to sell its cars directly to consumers, is forced to lawyer up and fight against powerful and influential auto dealer lobbyists who want to protect their cash cows.

Highlighting the outdated nature of franchise laws, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, following New Jersey issuing a similar ban against Tesla direct sales, penned an insightful letteron the topic to the “people of New Jersey.” Thankfully, New Jersey this past March took heed, wised up, and reversed its sales ban.

Texas: No Indictment For Police Officer Who Shot Unarmed Mexican Man 

By NBC News Latino, May 18, 2015

Texas grand jury will not indict a police officer in the shooting death of an unarmed Mexican man which has made headlines in the U.S. and Mexico.

Ruben Garcia Villalpando, an undocumented Mexican immigrant, died Feb. 20 after Grapevine Police Officer Robert Clark shot him twice in the chest. A dashcam video released by authorities shows Villalpando with his hands up moving toward the police car as the officer tells him to stop moving. Two shots are then heard on the video. The family's attorney explained that Villalpando had been intoxicated and had run from the police, but said the father of 4 did not deserve to die.

The Mexican government condemned the fatal shooting.

Former Terror Suspect Is One Of 2 Gunmen Shot Dead After Attack On Anti-Islam 'Draw Muhammad' Art Contest Near Dallas

By Wills Robinson and Ted Thornhill and Lydia Warren, May 3, 2015

A former terror suspect has been named as one of the gunmen shot dead by police after the two attackers blasted an unarmed security guard in the ankle during an anti-Islam art contest in Texas on Sunday night.

Elton Simpson, 30, who was previously the subject of a terror investigation, and his roommate Nadir Soofi, 34, were armed with assault rifles when they were killed by a quick-thinking traffic officer after opening fire outside the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland, Dallas, at around 7pm.

The shooting unfolded as the American Freedom Defense Initiative held an event inside the building where caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad were being displayed. Followers of Islam deem that any physical depiction of the prophet - even a positive one - is blasphemous.

Simpson, identified in court papers as an American Muslim, had been convicted of lying to federal agents about his plans to travel to Somalia five years ago, but a judge ultimately ruled it could not be proved that he was heading there to join a terror group. He was placed on probation.

Outside Muhammad Cartoon Contest In Texas, 2 Gunmen Are Killed And Guard Is Shot

By Matt Pearce, May 3, 2015, Latimes.com

To gunmen were killed and a security guard wounded in an attack Sunday outside a controversial Dallas-area event where organizers were holding a contest for cartoons featuring the Muslim prophet Muhammad, police said.

The Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest, led by prominent conservatives who are critical of Islam, was ending when two men drove up in a car and began shooting at a Garland school security officer, Bruce Joiner, who was apparently helping protect the building, city officials said.

“He was shot in the leg, transported to the hospital and he’ll be fine,” Garland Mayor Douglas Athas said.

ISIS Camp A Few Miles from Texas, Mexican Authorities Confirm

By Judicial Watch, Apr. 14, 2015

ISIS is operating a camp just a few miles from El Paso, Texas, according to Judicial Watch sources that include a Mexican Army field grade officer and a Mexican Federal Police Inspector.

The exact location where the terrorist group has established its base is around eight miles from the U.S. border in an area known as “Anapra” situated just west of Ciudad Juárez in the Mexican state of Chihuahua. Another ISIS cell to the west of Ciudad Juárez, in Puerto Palomas, targets the New Mexico towns of Columbus and Deming for easy access to the United States, the same knowledgeable sources confirm.

During the course of a joint operation last week, Mexican Army and federal law enforcement officials discovered documents in Arabic and Urdu, as well as “plans” of Fort Bliss – the sprawling military installation that houses the US Army’s 1st Armored Division. Muslim prayer rugs were recovered with the documents during the operation.
