Yes, “Don't mess with Texas,” as the admonition goes.
Although all states have mottos or slogans and such, I have always been under the impression that Texas, above all other states, means them. Moreover, As for those who choose to ignore this admonition, the evidence suggests that they will consequences for this.
This brings us to the popular Republican governor of the Lone Star State, Greg Abbott.
For example, while former President Joe Biden and his serially deceitful administration continued to import millions of illegal aliens into the country, Abbott—along with Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis—aggressively began busing illegal aliens into Democratic-run cities across the country, which pulled back the curtain on hypocritical elite communities that wanted nothing to do with illegal aliens in their neighborhoods.
Abbott launched Operation Lone Starjoint work, in March 2021. As of January 12, 2024, the operation has resulted in more than 495,400 illegal alien apprehensions and more than 38,300 criminal arrests, as well as more than 34,700 criminal charges. And in the fight against Fentanyl crisis, Texas law enforcement officials have seized more than 453 million doses of the deadly drug through their border mission.
In other words, don't mess with Greg Abbott.
On Tuesday press releaseAbbott announced he was appointing Muslim Brothers And Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs), citing both groups' ties to Islamic extremism and accusing them of seeking to “forcibly impose Sharia“
Abbott made no secret of his seriousness in the press release:
The Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR have long made their goals clear: to forcefully impose Sharia law and establish the “dominance of Islam over the world.” The actions taken by the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR to support terrorism around the world and undermine our laws through violence, intimidation and harassment are unacceptable.
Today I designated the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR as foreign terrorist organizations And transnational criminal organizations. These radical extremists are not welcome in our state and are now prohibited from acquiring any real estate interests in Texas..
Boom. That is, before the trials begin… then the left-wing judges will step in… and – never mind; you know the drill.

Here more about both terrorist organizations:
For many years Muslim Brothers advocated extremism and was associated with Islamic terrorists. The Muslim Brotherhood, which emerged as a militant group in Egypt in 1928, has spread throughout the world and is affiliated with numerous jihadist groups, according to a 2018 US Congressional report. report. The founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan al-Banna, spoke openly about fighting non-Muslims through jihad and wrote that “Jihad is the responsibility of Allah and every Muslim and cannot be ignored or evaded.” In recent years, the Brotherhood has condemned the United States for killing terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden and one of its most powerful leaders, Yusuf al-Qaradawi. called for terrorist attacks against American troops in Iraq.
Council on American-Islamic Relationsa self-proclaimed civil rights organization, has come under fire for its ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. US authorities also said that CAIR was created as a front for Hamas. In the 2008 case, which became the largest terrorism financing trial in U.S. history, the Council and its co-founders were named as innocent co-conspirators in a plot to funnel millions of dollars to Hamas. Several people who worked for CAIR were also convicted of planning assistance to terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda and the Taliban.
Translation:
Both organizations not only go beyond radical; neither of them have an exemplary track record in treating women, which makes it even more ridiculous when hypocritical white liberal women in the US protest. against Israel and support from Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and, of course, Hamas.
Abbott's announcement follows the US State Department's recent appointment of four Antifa-oriented cells operate in Europe – Germany, Italy and Greece – all four of whom are accused of organizing or carrying out bombings, shootings and other politically motivated attacks as FTOs.

In addition, Abbott's actions follow plans by a North Texas Muslim group to build a 400-acre housing complex that is currently under scrutiny by both state and federal agencies. The proposed development, led by Islamic Center of East Plano — the state's largest mosque — aims to create a Muslim-centric neighborhood based on a shared faith and culture.
Yes, I have to ask: what could go wrong?
