I realize that “Don’t mess with Texas” is a cliché. Also, I’m not in the business of giving the jihad advice. Also, one should not make light of events in Garland. But . . .

Of all the American states, the jihad would do well to avoid Texas. They are likely to find the rest of us easier meat. And we could all do with more of the Texas spirit.

I know the Democratic party and Western Europe — which have always been so fond of Texas, and fair to it — agree . . .

P.S. It is a bitter fact that Fort Hood was possibly the only part of Texas unarmed. And workplace violence can wreak terrible havoc, as you know. Maybe more welfare is the answer? Tax the rich? “Folks gotta pay their fair share,” as our president says.

Anyway . . .
