Before anyone gets their panties in a wad, I add that my ancestors came here from other countries, as did most everyone else's ancestors, and they learned the language and worked and never once did I hear any of them trash America. They became citizens, were proud to be one and some served in the military! I am nice to everyone and I have no problem with anyone coming here and making a good life for themselves and their family, BUT if you are coming here and expect us to become what you just came from, then that’s not happening! Return and work on your country and make it better where you can be proud to live in it.

Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of AMERICA, as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.

“IMMIGRANTS, NOT AMERICANS, MUST ASSIMILATE”

Take it or leave it. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Americans. This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom.

We speak ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language.

Most Americans believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and it is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools.

If God and Jesus offend you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God and Jesus are part of our "culture." This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE.

But once you are done complaining and whining about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, our Constitution, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great AMERICAN freedom -

"THE RIGHT TO LEAVE".

If you aren't happy here, then LEAVE. We the People didn't force you to come here.

NOTE:
IF we circulate this among ourselves, WE will find the courage to start speaking and voicing the same truths.
If you agree, please SEND THIS ON and as for those who disagree, move to a country that suits you and live there. "
THANK YOU! 🇺🇸

You are welcome to Share or Copy and Paste if you want...I can't be the only American that feels this way...

Will City staff consider a semi-weekly or min. Weekly updates on this community emergency?
Sample draws and results would be welcomed and ETA to the easing of restrictions.
Thanks

Updates will be coming as things move forward.

Here’s the Texas version of the caption:
Writing
Texas has some of the most iconic and productive farmland in America.
The cattle ranches.
The cotton fields.
The hay pastures.
The pecan orchards and rural communities that have shaped the Lone Star State for generations.
From the Panhandle plains to the Hill Country… from East Texas pine forests to South Texas ranchland… agriculture remains one of the foundations of Texas life.
That’s why many Texans are asking a simple question:
If we’re expanding solar energy...
why not build more of it where land is already developed?
Cover parking lots
Cover shopping centers
Cover stadium parking
Cover hospitals and office parks
Cover giant asphalt lots already baking in the Texas heat
Solar canopies can:
• generate clean electricity
• keep vehicles cooler
• provide shade during brutal summer heat
• reduce heat coming off massive paved surfaces
• and make better use of already-developed land
Meanwhile Texas farmland and ranchland can continue doing what they do best:
raising cattle
growing food
supporting family ranches
preserving open land
protecting rural communities
helping feed America
For many Texans, the conversation isn’t about being against solar power.
It’s about finding smarter locations for large-scale infrastructure while protecting productive farmland, ranchland, and Texas open spaces.
Because once prime agricultural land gets covered by industrial development...
it’s difficult to bring it back.
Texas’ future needs both energy and agriculture.
The challenge is finding room for both.
