Texas is divorcing from the USA because the USA has been hijacked by the Zionist Terrorist Jewish Pigs and all their god-damn fucking supporters. Texas will become a Nuclear Superpower Independent Nation in America because the courts will decide how many nuclear weapons and military equipment belongs to us Texans because alot of our tax dollars went to pay for these nuclear weapons and military equipment.

On February 2, the House passed H.J.Res. 40 to overturn the Social Security Gun Ban, a rule that was finalized in December.
Because that action was promulgated as a formal rule, it can be most easily repealed by a congressional resolution -- passed under the Congressional Review Act.
The Social Security Gun Ban was issued in a purported effort to implement the NICS Amendments Improvement Act of 2007 -- legislation also known as the Veterans Disarmament Act, which was vigorously opposed by Gun Owners of America.
Under the VDA, over 257,000 law-abiding veterans have lost their Second Amendment rights, merely because they sought counseling from the Department of Veterans Affairs.
The new Social Security Gun Ban would extend the precedent to disabled persons receiving social security benefits under Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
This means, for instance, that the names of those who receive their social security checks through a guardian can now be sent to the NICS gun ban list.
In some states, SWAT teams would be sent to their homes to forcibly seize the guns they have.
I'm thankful that the House easily passed H.J.Res. 40. In the Senate, S.J.Res. 14 is an identical version introduced by Senator Chuck Grassley.
As a constituent of yours -- and as one of the 1.5 million gun rights activists that GOA represents -- I would urge you to vote for H.J.Res. 40/S.J.Res. 14, so we can overturn the Social Security Gun Ban.

Feast of the Presentation of Christ in Temple
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 2,22-35.
When the time came for their purification according to the law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord (as it is written in the law of the Lord, ‘Every firstborn male shall be designated as holy to the Lord’), and they offered a sacrifice according to what is stated in the law of the Lord, ‘a pair of turtle-doves or two young pigeons.’ Now there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; this man was righteous and devout, looking forward to the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit rested on him. It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Messiah. Guided by the Spirit, Simeon came into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him what was customary under the law, Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying, ‘Master, now you are dismissing your servant in peace, according to your word; for my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the presence of all peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to your people Israel.’ And the child’s father and mother were amazed at what was being said about him. Then Simeon blessed them and said to his mother Mary, ‘This child is destined for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be opposed so that the inner thoughts of many will be revealed and a sword will pierce your own soul too.’

Thanks for helping hold these Senators accountable for their votes!
Rex Tillerson has built his career running a company that destroys our climate, poisons communities, colludes with corrupt dictators, and commits severe human rights violations around the world. And the Senate just confirmed him as our Secretary of State. Stopping Trump and his cabinet is going to take more than marching in the streets. It's going to take forcing Congress to do the right thing -- and holding them accountable when they don't. We need to send the message that we won't let Congress get away with giving in to Trump's extreme agenda -- but we need your help!
Give $5 to Friends of the Earth and stand up to Trump and his administration!
