REMEMBER THE ALAMO

It was a brave 13-day last stand for freedom in Texas 186 years ago, from February 23, 1836, to March 6, 1836.

No doubt that battle is front and center in many Texans minds as Russia brutally invades Ukraine, destroying government buildings, homes, multi-story apartment complexes and killing Ukrainians under the guise of “peacekeeping.”

Ukrainians are fighting back hard, like Texans did nearly 200 years ago, civilians side by side with Ukrainian soldiers, all knowing they are outnumbered as they face Russian assault missiles and weapons. But they are not deterred as they defend their democracy.

Donald Trump has said Vladimir Putin’s Russian invasion is a “genius” move. He praised Putin for sending in “the strongest peace keeping force” that Trump has ever seen.

Thanks to Trump’s own openly stated belief in brutal force to get his way, people can finally see the naked ambition in his soul. He will strangle American democracy if he is reelected.
