When Texas Governor Greg Abbott speaks, it’s like the Lone Star State honking its horn, and boy, do people listen. Abbott, with his long tenure in politics, just shared some strategic advice for former President Trump’s upcoming debate with Vice President Kamala Harris. His golden nugget? Let Harris talk. A lot. Abbott chuckles that Harris, with her word jumbles, might trip herself up and, in the process, inadvertently highlight her lack of clarity.
Abbott pinpointed three key areas for Trump to hammer home: border security, inflation (thanks to the Biden-Harris Administration), and the crime wave linked to liberal figureheads like Harris and her sidekick, Minnesota’s own soft-on-crime Governor Tim Walz. According to Abbott, spotlighting these issues will highlight Harris’s lack of readiness for the White House.
Border Security Showdown: The Wall vs. The Welcome Mat
Let’s break it down. Trump’s border policy saw the construction of over 400 miles of cutting-edge wall and the end of the ‘catch and release’ chaos. In stark contrast, the Biden-Harris Administration rolled out what looks like a welcome mat at our southern border. The result? Record numbers of illegal crossings. It’s almost as if they hung an “Open for Business” sign.
Remember when Democrats claimed walls don’t work? Well, here’s a shocker: they do! It’s like Harris has never been to the border to witness the difference between border security and a lax policy where millions of illegals hop right into the country. Right! She hasn’t. But hey, who needs border security when you can have “open borders” and “sanctuary cities”? It’s not like we have laws or anything… Oh, wait.

Inflation: A Trump-Era Boom to Biden’s Balloon
No what about the Trump economy? America added 7 million jobs, incomes went up nearly $6,000, and the unemployment rate plummeted to a 50-year low. Now fast-forward to today—under the Biden-Harris circus, inflation has soared, resembling a hot air balloon contest with no end in sight. Have they even heard of Economics 101?
It’s like watching a toddler try to fly a jumbo jet. Biden’s economic policies are so bad, even Jimmy Carter is likely thinking, “Wow, I don’t feel so bad about my presidency anymore!” The Democrats’ solution to inflation? Print more money! Because that’s worked so well throughout history, right? Just ask Venezuela how that’s going for them. That’s what happens when those in charge simply don’t know how to lead.
The Crime Surge: Harris’s Soft Spot
And how about the record on crime? Harris, who once compared ICE to the KKK, has promoted policies that practically put ‘Welcome’ mats out for criminals. Crime rates have naturally soared as a result.
It’s like Harris and her Democrat pals think “Grand Theft Auto” is an instructional video game for urban planning. Their idea of criminal justice reform? “Catch and release” for violent offenders. Because nothing says “safe streets” like letting career criminals back out to play. Maybe they’re trying to boost the home security system industry? That’s one way to create jobs, I suppose.
Abbott: Trump’s Texas Champion
Abbott, ever the strategic ally, firmly backed Trump for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination and is stumping hard for the President. He was recently seen rallying support in Arizona, emphasizing Trump’s tough-on-crime and border policies as the cure to the current administration’s misguided methods.
It’s refreshing to see a politician who doesn’t need a weather vane to know which way the wind blows. Abbott’s support for Trump is as steady as a Texas longhorn in a rodeo. Meanwhile, Democrats are playing musical chairs with their 2024 lineup, hoping nobody notices the elephant (or should we say, donkey) in the room – their policies are about as popular as a cottonmouth in an apple bob.
Trump’s Encore: Make America Greater
Abbott envisions a re-elected Trump not just repeating past triumphs but scaling new heights with his honed political acumen. The policies discussed include a robust strategy to correct the litany of failures produced by the Biden-Harris bunch.
For Abbott, while Kamala’s speeches might be creative puzzles no one can solve, Trump’s clear and effective policies are music to his ears. Actions, after all, speak far louder than word salads.
It’s like comparing a smooth jazz concert to the not so relaxing tune of a jumbo jet engine. Trump’s policies? Pure melody. Harris’s explanations? Well, let’s just say if political double-speak were an Olympic sport, Harris would be bringing home the gold for Team USA every four years.
Texas Takes Charge on the Border
Governor Abbott’s border control operations have gained national attention in 2024. Contrasting the Biden-Harris Administration’s floundering efforts, Texas saw illegal crossings plummet thanks to Abbott’s Operation Lone Star. With reinforced border walls, buoy barriers in the Rio Grande, and a strategic troop presence, Texas rightfully declared, “Not on our watch!”
This approach ruffled feathers in Washington, with the White House crying foul. Conveniently, they forgot these actions were about illegal activities. Maybe they should take a page from Abbott’s playbook instead of writing critiques.
It’s almost comical watching the Biden administration try to criticize Texas for actually enforcing the law. It’s like a burglar complaining that your locks are too good. Sorry, folks, but Texas isn’t playing “Red Rover” with its border. Abbott’s taken the bull by the horns, while Biden and Harris are still debating how many genders a bull has.
Over the last three years, illegal crossings have surged under President Biden, leaving Texans baffled and concerned. Thanks to Abbott’s initiatives, Texas saw an 85% reduction in crossings compared to neighboring states, proving there’s a solution—if only the federal government would take notice.
Harris’s Blast from the Past
Harris proposed a dust-off of a bipartisan bill for a pathway to citizenship and enhanced border security. Ironically, it’s a bill that Trump had helped shape. While she rambled with criticism about Trump’s policies like the ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy (which dropped illegal crossings by 87%), reality on the ground tells a different story. Trump got it right.
Harris’s attempts to co-opt Trump’s successful policies while simultaneously criticizing them is a political contortionist act that would make Cirque du Soleil jealous. Maybe she’s hoping if she talks long enough, we’ll all forget what she actually said?
Abbott stood tall for conservative Texans. His measures, often battered by federal pushback, highlighted the stark difference between practical solutions and ideological politicking. Abbott’s gritty resolve and sound understanding of the crisis have turned Texas into a beacon of hope and conservatism amid the chaos consuming California and other liberal strongholds.
Biden-Harris: A Parade of Blunders
The Biden-Harris Administration seems to have racked up more mishaps in three years than a sitcom’s greatest hits reel. From bungled immigration policies to a hasty travel ban lift and skyrocketing illegal crossings, it’s a masterclass in mismanagement. Who did they appoint to manage this circus? Kamala Harris. What has she really done for America in 3.5 years?
Trump-era immigration policies, such as the “Remain in Mexico” policy and the Third-Country Asylum Rule, aimed to curb asylum fraud and manage illegal immigration by requiring migrants to await hearings in third-party countries. Smart moves like these were swiftly undone by the new administration, leading to unprecedented border chaos.
Conclusion: Texas Takes the Helm
It’s not just about the numbers, but the principles of security, strength, and sovereignty. Hats off to Governor Abbott for showing that Texas doesn’t just talk the talk; it walks the walk. Abbott’s actions light the way, offering a guidebook on how the federal heavyweights might actually fix the problem—if they ever decide to pay attention. Well done, Texas!
In the grand rodeo of American politics, Abbott and Trump are riding high, while Biden and Harris seem to have fallen off their horses and can’t figure out which end is the head. As the 2024 election looms, one thing’s for sure: if laughter is the best medicine, the Democrats are keeping us in stitches. Let’s hope the voters remember to bring their sense of humor – and their common sense – to the polls.
