Quick takeaways
Texas has strong public support for erecting its own border barriers against the federal government's proposed ineffective border bill.
Billionaires like Reid Hoffman and Mark Cuban may be facing outside pressure, potentially through blackmail, causing suspicious behavior inconsistent with their previous patterns.
Certain news sources like The Atlantic and David Frum have been found lacking credibility, emphasizing the importance of considering the source and biases when consuming news.
Deep dives
Texas holds its ground on the border
Texas is standing its ground and keeping the wire fence on the border, with 69% of likely U.S. voters supporting Texas erecting their own barriers. There is also a growing belief, with 55% of likely voters, that the federal government is staging a civil war and Texas should stand against them.
Trump's stance on the border bill
Claims that Trump doesn't want a border deal with Biden and wants to run on the issue are misleading. It fails to mention that Trump believes the proposed border bill is ineffective and would make the situation worse, rather than better, as it codifies an unsustainable scenario. Thus, his opposition is driven by valid concerns about the bill's impact.
Truckers protest and concern
There are reports of a trucker protest similar to the Canadian trucker protests, but with some suspicion about its authenticity and potential traps since it could lead to violence and provide an ideal situation for the Democrats. Caution is advised given the current political climate.
Mystery behind billionaires' actions
Suspicious behavior from billionaires like Reid Hoffman and Mark Cuban, as well as potential influence from the likes of George Soros, can be attributed to outside pressure, such as blackmail. Their actions don't always align with their previous patterns of behavior, leading to suspicions that something sinister may be exerting control behind the scenes.
Biden's comments and Rasmussen poll
Biden's recent comments about Trump's stance on the border and Rasmussen's poll indicating majority support for erecting barriers in Texas show the deep divide in opinion regarding border security, with many Americans advocating for stricter measures to protect the country.
Notable news sources and their biases
Certain news sources like The Atlantic and David Frum have been found lacking in credibility when reporting on certain topics, such as Trump's alleged pro-Putin pressure. It is important to consider the source and their biases when consuming news to avoid falling for misleading narratives.
