Secession … but not just yet

by Brian Allgar

“Texas Republicans Beg Biden for Help Weeks After Endorsing Secession Bill …
[in] response to a huge winter storm that hit Texas this past weekend,
causing traffic accidents and power outages”
—ExtraNewsfeed

Hey, let’s Make Texas Great Again! No need
For federal Government—we’ll just secede.
No stinking Socialists for us! … Oh, wait—
We need a massive handout for our State.
