Texas National Guard is the only national guard unit allowed to have it's own navy...and it's own air force. Don't ask why.

Doesn't it have something to do with Texas's status as a "country" at the time of annexation?

Oklahoma and DFW are more culturally similar than DFW and Houston (which is more culturally similar to Louisiana). The city with the most purely Texan culture is San Antonio.

Eh depends on what part of Texas. The Piney Woods region of Texas is very much like north Louisiana. And the parts around Houston where they've allowed the oil refiners to turn it into a hellscape are extremely similar to parts of South Louisiana.

Feds are going after states for banning school mask mandates. Why not Texas? Because ours is a big ol fake campaign tactic for Abbott and Paxton



What's funny is that this is probably MORE likely to make OAG try to find a way to enforce mask bans just so they can get in a fight with the feds about it.

Ted knows he can't openly declare his '24 candidacy as long as Trump might run again, but you bet your rear end he's gonna be ready to go on the off chance Trump ups and dies after a Big Mac gets lodged in one of his arteries

Can he run for Senate and Pres at the same time? Doesn't he have to pick one for 2024?

No you can't run for both. Even if you might be able to by the rules, you can't possibly as a matter of practicality.

I mean it was, unfortunately, considered normal for the time so it's not particularly noteworthy? Like, I'm pretty sure almost everything was being typed out on typewriters in 1959.

I get that. I suppose I'm just comparing it to typing an email in the same vein and it feels different. I'm blasting away my poo poo posts without a care in the world on a computer. If I had to physically type them out? That takes more effort and feels much more substantial.

It really isn't that different, the easiest way to make a document in 1959 was a typewriter, the easiest way today is a computer of some sort, in both cases people are simply taking the easiest and most convenient route, the pattern of behavior is the same in both cases.

Though hey, we got rid of a lot of the overt racism, so that's nice.
