Most of the time I find their videos informative. In this case I already knew much of this, but this is what surprised me. Listen carefully to the rules of engagement (or rules for the use of force) the Texas Rangers were operating under.
What other country on earth makes their people follow such rules of engagement for fear of being dragged before criminal courts in the nation which is hosting the invasion?
The Defend Our Borders from Armed Invaders Act was introduced by Republican Rep. Morgan Luttrell of Texas, a former Navy SEAL who served in the Navy for 14 years.
And as the Biden administration and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott clash over border security policies, this bill, Luttrell claims, will enable the National Guard to better protect the U.S. by using ‘any means necessary’ to stop armed migrants.
I didn’t know that Marcus had a brother.
Anyway, eh, I’ll be convinced when I see them under arming orders and shooting live rounds.
And I’ll be convinced when I don’t see things like this.
“I’m glad for what Gov. Abbott is doing, because what it’s allowing us to do, we’re able to deploy our resources to other areas that we haven’t been able to patrol for several years now. And so, that’s allowing us to go after the gotaways—that segment of the people that cause a great deal of problem here in the United States,” he said.
“What he is doing is operating as a force multiplier. It is very good what he is doing for the American people. It’s something that President [Joe] Biden should be doing but he refuses to do because, again, he cares more about his base than he does about the American people.”
The NG is blocking the area used for staging of illegals to enter the US. And even that’s not the complete story. The Border Patrol is being used by DHS to facilitate the crossing of illegals.
Not only that, treason isn’t limited to the border patrol. It’s happening with LEOs too.
Last night— Tenet Reporter @TaylerUSA confronted multiple @SATXPolice officers about working a side gig where they are helping facilitate human smuggling at the Migrant Resource Center in San Antonio, TX.
In 2021, China’s policy banks — the China Development Bank (CDB) and Export-Import Bank (Exim) — made no loans to Latin America for the second consecutive year. Beijing is now essentially focused on financing Chinese companies to operate in the region.
This shift in strategy and the resulting proliferation of Chinese companies in Latin America will increase the circulation of people and money that are no longer under the direct control of local governments. Based on current trends, Chinese criminal organizations will likely thrive in this new economic environment. Extortion, money laundering through front firms, and smuggling are already increasing, posing a severe threat to the population’s safety in the region.
Drug production is one of China’s fastest-growing businesses in Latin America. After China’s booming export of fentanyl or its precursors to Mexican cartels, a new market has emerged for non-fentanyl synthetic opioids such as nitazenes, also known as benzimidazole opioids such as the synthetic opioid derivative ISO, which are 20 times more potent than fentanyl.
US authorities believe that these drugs are being manufactured in China and shipped to Mexico where they are then smuggled into the US. In March, Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody issued a warning against ISO, as law enforcement agencies advised that the drug might be responsible for the recent rise in overdose fatalities. “Isotonitazene is so strong that it can kill just by coming in contact with someone’s skin or being accidentally inhaled,” stated Moody.
Concerns are growing that ISO may be manufactured directly in Mexico or other countries in the region, where Chinese criminal groups have already established production facilities for “creepy,” the name given to a potent cannabis strain popular amongst criminal grow operations, particularly in South America.
Mexico is a failed state, just as are most or all of Central and South American countries (Brazil may be an exception). Michael Yon has documented the flood of immigrants that will soon overwhelm the Southern border, and are already doing so. They will crash the American medical system demanding free medical care, and the food and logistics situation won’t fare much better.
Meanwhile, here is the focus of the U.S. Marine Corps: The South Pacific.
The U.S. Border Patrol, perhaps the only real police force left in America, isn’t allowed to do their jobs.
If Congress was comprised of anything other than gargoyles, demons and pit vipers, they would hold a vote tomorrow and unanimously declare the Southern border to be a war zone, America to have been invaded, and the military deployed under arming orders to shoot trespassers.
But that won’t be done. Per a Michael Yon dispatch, this was seen.
The authorities want chaos and unrest. They thrive in it. They need it. It helps to maintain their authority. It makes the know-nothings beg for more government intervention and control. It’s all by design.

Kinney County, Texas
Mind dump from the front
I was just in the office of Kinney County Sheriff, Brad Coe. Am with LTC Pete “Doc” Chambers, Green Beret doctor who has been fighting illegal “vaccinations” of US military.
Uvalde, the town where the mass murder happened, is the next town over. Some of the deputies are there helping. One deputy lost a nephew.
Ali Bradley is in Uvalde. We called her from Sheriff Coe’s office. Ali has interviewed the grandfather of the murderer and more. Ali has many important things to say. Will let her say them.
These weapons are now in Sheriff Coe’s office. Confiscated from border smugglers. Sheriff Coe said nearly all smugglers are armed.
This is an armed invasion of United States. OGUS is facilitating this invasion. We are under attack.
Against the backdrop of Russia’s truculence in Eastern Europe, US special operators have established a new forward-operating base in another tense corner of Europe.
In early January, US Special Operations Command Europe (SOCEUR) announced its decision to set up a special-operations headquarters in Albania.
The new headquarters will help in SOCEUR’s mission to “galvanize our relationship with Allies and partners to counter malign influence, build interoperability, rapidly respond to emerging threats and if necessary, defeat aggression,” the command said.
No, TCJ isn’t calling for war in the European or Asia theater. TCJ is calling for war at the U.S. Southern border where troops are needed, doing the only thing American troops were ever meant to do, i.e., defend the U.S. border from invasion.
We have absolutely no business in a war with Russia. We have no strategic interest there except for oil pipelines owned by the Bidens. But we do have business doing things with our troops other than draining their blood in needless foreign misadventures or wasting their time.
Last March, Abbott, who’s up for reelection, launched “Operation Lone Star,” citing a crisis at the US southern border. The operation — which leaned on resources from Texas Department of Public Safety and Texas National Guard — has swelled to more than 10,000 service members.
The speed at which the operation launched and its scope has fueled frustrations internally and among veterans of the Guard. Multiple members of the Guard who are deployed as part of Operation Lone Star and spoke to CNN described long hours with little to do, poor planning, and a lack of mission — all of which, they say, are contributing to low morale among soldiers.
“As military, people know the term hurry up and wait. This is just the biggest hurry up and wait I was a part of, and there’s really no set, ‘hey, we’re doing this, or hey, go out and do this.’ It’s just, we’re sitting around doing nothing,” one soldier said.

The National Guard, though, generally serves in a support role and notifies US Border Patrol if they encounter migrants, so that agents can pick them up. In Del Rio, Humvees are located along the border at observation points with soldiers assigned to them to monitor for activity, which can range depending on location.
“There’s guys standing at our points doing nothing, so they don’t really see a mission. They just see this as we’re just used as political pawns for an election year,” the soldier said.
As it has always been. But invasion isn’t a law enforcement function – it’s a military function. TCJ is calling for the deployment of the USMC on the Southern border, including every infantry battalion along with Scout Snipers and Recon Marines. They should have arrest powers and full authority to kill enemy shooters (including the “Coyotes” who bring the invaders North).
We can leave the border patrol in the rear to do paperwork.
Thoughts from Matt Bracken, sent from Michael Yon (via WRSA).
Yes. A reminder that we’re under invasion.
Related: I stumbled upon this blog a couple of days ago. Borderland Beat.
It’s a website dedicated to reporting on the operations of the Mexican cartels on the Mexican-U.S. border. The beheadings, violence, buyouts and corruption is everywhere.
Yes, we’re under invasion. Messing with Russia’s “near abroad” is about the stupidest thing we could possibly do – unless they’re trying to distract you and enrich themselves (or install the rainbow flag over the Kremlin).
The Axios/Ipsos poll asked Hispanic-Americans about their top concerns and crime and violence came in at the number two spot at 30 percent – behind only COVID worries at 37 percent. Per Axios, “The finding is a warning for President Biden ahead of next year’s midterms.” A similar Wall Street Journal poll from a week earlier showed Hispanic voters are turning away from Democrats, typically supportive of more gun control, and are now nearly evenly split between their party preferences.

The overlay of rising crime concerns for Hispanic-Americans and their firearm purchasing is stark. According to NSSF retailer survey data, law-abiding Hispanic-Americans purchased firearms in 2020 at a 49 percent higher rate than they did in 2019. That swing of Hispanic-Americans’ preference showed in the 2020 presidential election where former President Donald Trump’s message of law and order and support for the Second Amendment resonated. The former president garnered 10 percent more Hispanic-American vote share than he did in 2016.
The trends stood out in states like Texas and California. LaPolitica Online reported on the swing of Hispanic-Americans purchasing firearms. Rafael Cedillo owns a firearm safety business where he offers training and educational courses in El Paso wherein 2019 a murderer killed 23 people at Walmart. “It’s sad, but my business really booms after a tragic incident,” Cedillo said. The firearm buying surge left his business busy. “After the one in El Paso, my home, I couldn’t fit everyone into my schedule.”
Take careful note. A “swing” in what party the Hispanics like (see his section headers) … they “purchased firearms at a [blah-blah-blah] higher rate (which says nothing about the previous rate or whether they believe in gun control).
Texas National Guard Is Ineffective on Texas Border
Texas National Guard — Something is WRONG
Am witnessing on the Texas border — Texas National Guard — something is wrong. (Am in Virginia at the moment — just briefed a bunch of Members of Congress and others).
As you know, I spent more time with US forces in combat than any correspondent alive. And my track record on calling the ball where it bounces has been verified time and again with ‘slow motion replay’ as years pass by.
Most Texas National Guard on the border I encounter act like they got something to hide. This is the norm. Say, 80 percent. This is abnormal for troops deployed like this.
My sense is they are not useful on the line and represent a danger to themselves. Something just ain’t right. I’ve gone so far as checking into hotels they stay in and being there night and day watching. (Your donations in actions…sorry, often cannot say exactly what is up…I can give glimpses like this — I eat breakfast, lunch, dinner at the next table, and see them at the border).
Almost certainly the morale and training problems are command failure. I do not know the cause but my experience points directly to command failure. Starting at the President, SecDef, Texas Governor, and working down into the uniformed ranks.
Our border is wide open. We are under invasion. And those we have guarding the border should be relieved and replaced by another force.
On the evening of Sept. 10, a soldier deployed to the U.S.-Mexico border slid a manifesto under each door in his brigade headquarters and then slipped away.
The frustrated Army National Guardsman assigned to the 110th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade headquarters had seen enough.
Three soldiers had died in three months, the most recent in an alleged DUI just five days earlier, and more than a dozen troops from the mission had been arrested or confined for drugs, sexual assault and manslaughter.
“Someone please wave the white flag and send us all home,” the letter pleaded. “I would like to jump off a bridge headfirst into a pile of rocks after seeing the good ol’ boy system and fucked up leadership I have witnessed here.”
The unit never found the author.
The letter was provided to Army Times by another anonymous soldier, who like others for this article, spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss equipping, staffing and misconduct issues plaguing the border mission.
For much of 2021, more than 4,000 Guard personnel from 20 states helped monitor the U.S.-Mexico border alongsideCustoms and Border Protection personnel. The majority were part of a brigade-level ground force led by the 110thMEB known as Task Force Phoenix, a combination of 34 distinct Guard units stitched together with virtually no prior relationships, complicating an already wayward operation. Most returned home in October, when a new Guard task force took over.
When troops weren’t on duty, most were at hotels in remote locations. Alcohol and drug abuse became so widespread that senior leaders issued breathalyzers and instituted alcohol restrictions that tightened as the misconduct incidents piled up.
Leaders initiated more than 1,200 legal actions, including nonjudicial punishments, property loss investigations, Army Regulation 15-6 investigations and more. That’s nearly one legal action for every three soldiers. At least 16 soldiers from the mission were arrested or confined for charges including drugs, sexual assault and manslaughter. During the same time period, only three soldiers in Kuwait, a comparable deployment locale with more soldiers, were arraigned for court-martial.
Troops at the border had more than three times as many car accidents over the past year — at least 500 incidents totaling roughly $630,000 in damages — than the 147 “illegal substance seizures” they reported assisting.
One cavalry troop from Louisianawas temporarily disbanded due to misconduct and command climate issues — an extremely rare occurrence.
A 1,000-soldier battalion-level task force based in McAllen, Texas, had three soldiers die during the border deployment. For comparison, only three Army Guard troops died on overseas deployments in 2021, out of tens of thousands.
It sounds like it’s out of control, with no leadership, no accountability, no morals or scruples, no coherent world and life view among the troops, little to no training, little to no expectations, and poor equipment. In other words, with the U.S. Navy crashing ships into each other, the USMC inviting women into infantry officer training at Quantico, sex change operations the order of the day, the infliction of unconstitutional orders on the military (forced vaccinations), very low morale among the Navy SEALs (something I’ve been told directly by those associated with the SEALs), and on the list could go, it sounds like the NG is in about the same place as the rest of the military.
The U.S. military is disintegrating, perhaps all by design. Now, compare this assessment of the strict organizational structure of the cartels in Mexico.
The cartels will screw IDs to your forehead.
They aren’t playing a game, and there is no disobedience of orders. There is full accountability, good equipment, and a consistent world and life view (albeit wicked).
There is no winning a war in which you do not believe. There is only abject surrender and submission.
