Today in Texas History – March 21
From the Annals of Bloviation – In 2010, then Texas Attorney General Greg Abbot made the following statement regarding the recently passed Affordable Care Act: “The federal health care legislation passed tonight violates the United States Constitution and unconstitutionally infringes upon Texans’ individual liberties. To protect all Texans’ constitutional rights, preserve the constitutional framework intended by our nation’s founders, and defend our state from further infringement by the federal government, the State of Texas and other states will legally challenge the federal health care legislation.”
Wrong, wrong and wrong. As our latest in a long line of Poor Idiot Governors, Abbot has cost Texas literally billions of dollars in pandering to his Tea Party base. Not to mention the many dollars Abbot has wasted as AG and Governor in frivolous litigation.

High Water Shuts Down Texas-Louisiana Border
Texas Department of Transportation announced that Interstate 10 at the Sabine River has been closed due to high water.
Due to continued flooding from excessive rainfall along the Texas-Louisiana state line, the Texas Department of Transportation has closed Interstate 10 near the state line.
The closure is needed because the Sabine River is cresting above flood stage and dumping water into the low-lying eastbound mainlanes of the interstate near Orange. Louisiana is expected to block westbound traffic as well.
If you are travelling to Louisiana there are not a lot of alternatives. TXDOT is telling drivers leaving Houston to avoid the area entirely by crossing the Sabine on Interstate 20 which would be an approximately 250 mile detour.

From the Annals of Masonry – In 1836, Texian soldier Lewis Ayers was captured by forces under the command of Mexican General Jose de Urrea. Ayers in action under Captain Amon King engaging Urrea’s rear guard when he was captured with 32 other soldiers. The prisoners were ordered to be executed as rebels. One of Urrea officers, Colonel J.J. Holzinger intervened to spare the German prisoners. Ayers was not German but was included in the group to be spared. Legend has it that he was later released after giving a Masonic sign that Gen. Urrea recognized.
