It's not the first time this has come up. Who knows, if we did it, then I would imagine all the Gulf Coast states would try to join. We could call it the "American Union"...

There is an independence movement in my province so strong the procincial government can't ignore it..



Is that the case in Texas?

I read that there is pressure on your premier to hold a referendum on indpendence.

I don't think it's that far along yet.


I think you guys might be a little late on that...It already happened in 1836...Didn't work out too well. A bunch of Rednecks and a shit load of Mexican peasants died at the Alamo.



Then Texas was annexed by the US in 1845 and more rednecks and Mexicans died. In 1861 Texas joined the confederacy, more rednecks died...Not a good track record if you ask me.

"We are experiencing record-breaking electric demand due to the extreme cold temperatures that have gripped Texas," ERCOT CEO Bill Magness said in a press release on Sunday. "At the same time,[size=150] we are dealing with higher-than-normal generation outages due to frozen wind turbines and limited natural gas supplies available to generating units.[/size] We are asking Texans to take some simple, safe steps to lower their energy use during this time."



Dan Woodfin, ERCOT's senior director of system operations, said that about half of West Texas's wind turbine capacity (25,000-megawatts) was "iced out" on Sunday morning. Over the past decade, wind-generated power has gradually increased to overtake coal-generated power. In 2020, 23 percent of energy supplied to the state's grid was wind generated.



Woodfin the organization expects it will need to go into emergency operations from Sunday evening until Tuesday morning. It asked consumers and businesses to reduce their electricity consumption where possible from Feb. 14 through Feb. 16.

People are freezing in the dark because of the uselessness of wind turbines. If Texas had more natural gas power generation and zero wind fantasies, there would not be an emergency.

That will make it hard to sell the public on more win subsidies.

Texas has more natural gas than any other state, but one quarter of it's power comes from imported wind turbines. Try figuring that one out. It makes no sense.

The Wall Street Journal editorialized that "Texas's overreliance on wind power left the grid more vulnerable to bad weather. Half of the wind turbines froze last week, causing wind's share of electricity to plunge to 8 per cent from 42 per cent ... there wasn't sufficient baseload power from coal & nuclear to support the grid."

Progressive extremism is pushing people past their breaking point. A divorce across North America might be in the cards.



Nearly a third of Americans want to break up the United States into like-minded countries: Poll



Half of Republicans in the South are ready to secede



The divide between Americans seems to be widening in recent years, and the political schism doesn't appear to be narrowing any time soon. The major partisan divide in the country has gotten to the point that many Americans have contemplated a national divorce because they believe there are far too many ideological differences to bridge the line of demarcation.



An eye-opening poll found that a shocking percentage of Americans are in favor of the dissolution of the United States. According to a new Bright Line Watch survey, nearly a third of Americans want to break up the United States and create smaller, like-minded countries.



Between Jan. 28 and Feb. 8, the 2,700 poll participants were asked:



Some people say the divisions within our country have grown so deep that we would be better off dividing into more like-minded regions that would govern themselves separately. Do you support or oppose the idea of the United States dividing into more than one nation?

The survey found that 29% (10% strongly, 19% somewhat) of Americans were in favor of the dissolution of the United States into like-minded regions. There were noticeable differences based on political party lines and geography. Surprisingly, 37% of independents were most inclined for the country to go its separate ways. There were 35% of Republicans who wanted to secede, followed by 21% of Democrats who wanted their own country of like-minded individuals.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has vowed to use all available legal means to rein in President Joe Biden's policy plans and ensure that his administration adheres to the rule of law.



The Lone Star State's top law enforcement official wrote in an op-ed that it's the responsibility of individual states to provide the necessary checks and balances against the executive branch, given that both chambers of Congress are currently controlled by Democrats with their slim majority.



"I am proud to lead the way for Texas in providing the necessary counterweight to the far-left Democrats forcing dangerously radical policies upon us," Paxton wrote in the op-ed published on Fox News on March 13.

Two-thirds of Republicans in the South want to secede, nearly half of West Coast Dems ready to break away from union

An alarming poll was released this week that highlights the concerning and growing divide in the United States. Two-thirds of Republicans in the South and nearly half of Democrats on the West Coast want to secede from the union, according to a new poll.



Bright Line Watch, a self-described "initiative to monitor democratic practices in the U.S. and call attention to threats to American democracy," and YouGov conducted a survey of 2,650 American adults between June 26 and July 2, 2021. For the poll, participants were presented with a hypothetical separation of the United States into five regional unions. Respondents were asked, "Would you support or oppose [your state] seceding from the United States to join a new union.



The region and political affiliation most welcoming seceding from the United States were Republicans from the South, where 66% said they would want to break off into a new country. Half of the independent voters were also ready to form a new country, which would include 13 Southern states: Texas, Florida, Virginia, Tennesee, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Kentucky.



The poll found that 47% of Democrats in the Pacific region, which includes California, Washington, Oregon, Hawaii, and Alaska, were ready to break away from the union.



The survey said 43% of independents were ready to secede in the Heartland region: Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, Kansas, and Nebraska.



In the Mountain region, which includes Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico, there were 43% of Republicans and 35% of independents who wanted to secede from the United States.



In the Northeast region, 39% of Democrats, 33% of independents, and 26% of Republicans were ready to break away from the union. The region includes Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, and the District of Columbia.



Despite President Joe Biden vowing that he would bring unity to the country, Americans are considering division more than when he was first elected.

The climate change crazies are already openly promoting rolling blackouts to deal with the so-called global warming problem. The mainstream media habitually lies about and misrepresents those who advocate for meritocracy and capitalism (as distinct from corporatism) and the willing victims of the True Big Lie are abandoning the smoking ruins of failed states such as Commiefornia and New Yecch to practice their degeneracy in your home town.



If you are going to secede from the union, you might want to get a wriggle on. Because once that rot gets a toehold you'll see the cancer returning.



Or has that cancer already taken root?
