    Blockbuster. Danger! Danger! Red alert! Keep your head on the proverbial swivel. They will kill your older loved one's without mercy in the nursing homes of New York.   They will also eliminate the production of power to freeze you and your family to death. The following is the headline and story from infowars.com  to include  hard copy evidence.

    The problem with Sundance's propaganda is that it doesn't sound plausible to the general public.  Most liars are really bad at doing it because they don't measure themselves.  They don't follow through and think about whether it makes sense or if it goes overboard.  Do I think most Americans believe Biden's department (which technically means not even Biden making the decision) prevented Texas from increasing power?  Haha, no.  It sounds dumb and it's embarrassing to the person spreading the information.  That's actually why I'm not worried about Republicans.  I know they'll conjure up fake news and never take accountability for their actions.  It's just not going to work enough any longer and they need to win on the merits of their policies, which they can't.  This, by the way, was because TEXAS intentionally made sure their power grid wasn't prepared for cold weather.  It's been attributed to natural gas.  The companies were able to save costs and didn't expect it to happen.  I guess Texas can't be a state on its own if Sundance is whining about the federal government to intervene.  By the fucking way, I thought that Republicans want state-level government?  Get big government outta here!  Hahaha!  Not only do Republicans lose but the reason I look down on them is they sound so dumb when their garbage is put to the test.

    Tex Cruz letter to department of agriculture.,

    The Honorable Kevin Shea
    Acting Secretary of Agriculture
    U.S. Department of Agriculture
    1400 Independence Avenue, SW
    Washington, D.C. 20250

    Dear Secretary Shea:

    The State of Texas, through the Office of the Governor, has made a formal request for a disaster declaration as a result of severe winter weather that has impacted the State consistent with the provisions of 7 C.F.R. Part 759. As you know, Governor Abbott declared a state disaster in all 254 counties on February 12, 2021.

    Governor Abbott requested that President Biden issue an emergency declaration under Section 501 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. § 5191. The President promptly granted Texas's request on February 14, 2021. On February 18, 2021, he also requested that President Biden issue a Major Disaster Declaration.

    While the state continues to assess damages in other counties, Governor Abbott has requested that USDA expeditiously issue a disaster designation for the following counties: Cameron, Hidalgo, Willacy, and any other county that demonstrates a significant agricultural production loss as a result of severe winter weather. The Governor and local officials have informed us that the agricultural losses and crop damage across the state are of a magnitude that is beyond the response capabilities of the state and local government.

    We respectfully urge you to support this request and provide any and all emergency measures afforded by the approval of a disaster declaration. We stand prepared to assist you in any way possible to ensure prompt evaluation of this request. Please do not hesitate to reach out to our offices with any questions.

    Meanwhile...

    from Washington to “just stay home,” Ted Cruz bolted for the balmy climes of Cancun, Mexico on Wednesday evening.

    After photographs of Cruz boarding his flight out of George HW Bush International Airport went viral, Cruz changed his flight plans and returned to Texas on Thursday, 2/18.  Cruz’s staff initially issued a statement on his behalf, claiming it was a “long-planned trip,” but flight records and text messages show the trip came together at the last minute, and how Cruz was initially scheduled to return on Saturday, 2/20.

    And blames the wind mills for the rolling blackouts.

    Texas is the number one producer of wind energy in the country, more than California - about 25 percent of our electricity comes from wind, and that is a valuable asset. My view is that we ought to be using all of energy sources but we shouldn't have mandates. [...] Right now, we don't have clear answers as to why the Texas energy grid couldn't handle this surge in the winter. Obviously, a massive surge like this is very unusual in Texas. It appears there were a combination of factors. One factor is a substantial number of the wind turbines froze and ceased producing energy. Now, elsewhere, other colder climates are able to put treatments and lubricants on wind turbines so they can operate in the cold, but in Texas, that wasn't predicted to happen, and so they didn't do that. We also saw substantial drop-off from coal, substantial drop-offs from natural gas, substantial drop-offs from solar. What we need to do is have a serious fact-based investigation not based on politics [...] it needs to be based on the evidence, based on the facts to say what happened. Why was the grid not there?"

    You do realize Fox News is planning their next segment to suggest AOC is doing other things and doesn't care while Cruz is single-handedly saving Texas on his own.  Just watch Tucker Carlson's next show.  That retard is guaranteed to do some bullshit that's ridiculous.  He looks perpetually confused and sounds so damn dumb.  This is the hero of Republicans?  I suppose I'd understand more if I were a white supremacist.  At least 50% of Republicans are but it's quite possible the figure is higher.

    Amazing! Mr Biden and Ms Harris garner 32% of the popular vote. Trump landslide! We have people who don't worry about Republicans. Why is that? Because they are allowed and enabled to have fraudulent elections in order to place a man with dementia in the White House. This is not complicated.

    The link below is the letter from the Department of Energy signed by David Huizenga, Acting Secretary of Energy. The 4 page letter states the reasons the citizens of Texas were refused power. One thing is absolutely certain. The Department of Energy under President Trump would have ensured the fine people of Texas would have continued to have power. 

    A sad state of affairs when the United States government turns the power off for US citizens in dire need of heating their homes and basically preventing hypothermia. Will somebody please climb up the wind turbine  in Texas with solar generated hair dryers to de ice them? The following is the letter that was signed with much Lefty pride by David Huizinga.

    They did so well in Puerto Rico,  I am sure the results would be similar in Texas nothing and blame democrats in Washington for problems in Texas.  

    Same folks same decisions same results.

    Under Biden humans in Texas can recieve assistance they don't even need to show i.d.

    Yes no questions asked no income declaration or immigration status needed to recieve food and water.

    President Joe Biden has declared a major disaster in Texas, clearing the way for more federal funds to be spent on relief efforts in the US state.

    Power is returning across Texas and temperatures are set to rise but some 13 million people are still facing difficulties accessing clean water.

    Mr Biden has said he will visit Texas as long as his presence is not a burden on relief efforts.

    But you obviously have a real point here.

    Menendez Ford motor company vice president ,

    And previously Rick Perry and his direct responsibility of providing the grid in Texas is obviously a concern moving forward. 

    Cronies with no experience or understanding of energy electrical grids . Would obviously be unqualified to address weaknesses in systems whether natural or cyber threats to system designs.

    Actually, US energy department gave Electric reliability council of Texas permission to increase power while exceeding pollution limits according to KHOU-11.  But letter includes warning to not exceed maximum necessary to curtail the emergency.

    Mediabiasfactcheck describes infowars as an non-credible source spreading pseudoscience and debunked conspiracy theories unsupported by evidence.

    ERCOT blames power blackouts on failure to prepare for extreme weather despite government reports years ago.  Especially in frozen natural gas power plants.

    NBC News headlines "As Texas deep freeze subsides, some households now face electricity bills as high as $10,000," while Daily Mail claims that number if far higher, and some are seeing their electric bills surge to $17,000.

     Texans have seen electric bills surge as high as $17,000 after two powerful storms knocked out power and caused a 300-fold surge in demand - as 14million people struggle to get clean water in a 'health catastrophe'.

    Ercot the new enron is jacking electric bills 1000 x higher. By limuting the grid to texas they are avle to evade governmsnt over sight. 

    In 2011 Houston mayor brought to the attention with growing risk of climate change and potential 

    For a cataclysmic cold weather event that the water sewer and electric grid should be upgraded to prepare for the potential risk. Texas Republican led legislation pretty much laughed in his face.

    Now they want to deflect that the wind mills failure led to this electrical failure. Because they skimmped on the bearing grease allowing a substandard product instead of manufacturers recommended grease. 

    Republicans will deflect any responsibility in this crises it's failure to provide a stable grid it's failure to address climate change. And most likely shift the attention to once in a lifetime the risk of it happening again ect.  

    What is real is Chaos theory. What may seem as abnormally to disaster is actual a pattern of repetitiveness.  If the conditions are not corrected this event will happen as often as the conditions that led to this disater exists. 

    It's not a matter of if. It's a matter of when.  Climate change is real what was is not present.

    Hurricanes tornadoes freeze events lack of water and drought conditions will continue to worsen and mitigation steps are needed to remove the pending threat. 

    But who are we kidding it's Texas and they sent going to change to help some crumb bums on a food line .

    Probable more likely they are laughing at the misery of the people who are suffering the cruelty of poor leadership.

    I've lived there same people same place of power same results. There be human smuggling. Onions don't pick themselves. They continue to be cruel men in power. And they talk big but same as small town politics run by a few wealthy families to dictate how the not wanted can be removed from the premises.
