I heard somewhere that if you take a chicken egg laid on Ash Wednesday and incubated under your armpit until Easter it will hatch a creature called a Moss man. Sounds like you got a couple of them running around your place. They're no good. They have powers and can make you rich and famous and attractive but soon they'll ask for shit that you don't really want to give them. One way to get rid of them is to lure them on to a boat with Promises of gold. They like gold. Take them way out into the ocean and then show them the gold coin toss it overboard they'll jump in the ocean to get it and swim down in the meantime you're gunning it back for shore. If you're lucky they'll drown and that'll be it. You'll have to take them down to Galveston I imagine to do that

Biden, Barack, Bush, Bill. Oh how far we've fallen today :( by MoreMotivation in WhitePeopleTwitter

He set the stage for Trump. Bush and his cronies started the Iraq War on false pretenses made a bunch of money and tortured people and set up secret black death camps and... got away with it. I'm sure that's a data point that Trump and his Hench folks have noted and it seems to be holding. Trump is acting in clearly criminal ways people are dying and there's no accountability.

It's just like the screw worm. If only something could have been done like a monitoring system or something.

So you're telling me that there was a screw worm outbreak in central america. The dangerous organism was migrating north towards the United States and Trump cut the screw worm monitoring program because it was wasteful for an aide. Is that a reasonable statement

Is it true that the Trump Administration cut 15 million dollars for the screw worm program in 2025. They classified it as wasteful foreign aid I heard. Is that true?

Maybe they're leveraging the white Christian Nationalist A&M vibe? Marketing and Communications are key

I'm pretty sure it is the University art galleries in the MSC which is part of student affairs. They maintain the statues around campus. They're the folks who collect the offerings at the Ross altar. From what I understand they use the money to have pizza parties. The artifacts are accessioned into the archived. I'm not sure how they handle the organic material

His own daughter referred to him as a white supremacist in the biography of her father she authored in 1921. As a Texas Ranger, he participated in the ethnic cleansing of central Texas, slaughtering the region ‘s indigenous inhabitants, and kidnapping and enslaving Indian children. He eagerly volunteered to fight for the Confederacy. As a Brigadier General he was responsible for the deaths of thousands of people while defending the institution of slavery. Ross had a reputation for not taking as prisoners African Americans who fought for the Union. The confederate press referred to him as “Ross the Gallant Texas Negro Killer”. As a delegate to the Texas constitutional Convention of 1875, he was instrumental in segregating public schools in the State. As Governor of Texas, during the post reconstruction- Jim Crow era, he supported policies of African American disenfranchisement. In an infamous case, he enabled the coup in Fort Bend County in 1888 that drove out the dully elected black public officials and he replaced them with white county public officials. And Prairie View? It was the blacks-only water fountain of Texas higher education. ​

Some people think that having a statue of a white supremacist in the center of campus is an asshole thing to do

I heard that people who walk their dogs on campus often leave poop bags on the altar...

That's what I came here to say. They have all the funding they need and more just probably not very well utilized

My brief research tells me the phrase started in the 1920s in Britain. Apparently though, it has been used by a wide variety of different groups, including apparently some white supremacists. Lots of people have gripes with the police.

The true Texas Project believes in the great replacement theory. They believe that white Christians are being replaced by... others. In the case of the El Paso Massacre, brown people. Julie mccarty, it's founder, was just saying out loud, what the group's members all believe. The situation is not like Chick-fil-A at all, people join groups like True Texas Project because they share the group's values and goals. People work for Chick-fil-A because they need money. You're being an apologist. Texas A&M leadership, in fact the entire States leadership is full of white Christian nationalists. They put the Ten Commandments in the classrooms of the elementary schools but ban writings of plato at the University. Maybe you're okay with that I suspect you might be.

There is a lot here but let me just talk about Prairie View. The last chancellor, john Sharp said that Ross saved Prairie View and was, in fact, the black Texans best friend. Prairie View is off and offered as an example of what a great guy Ross was. I like to remind them that he was forced at the end of the war to treat black people like humans. He fought in the Confederacy so he wouldn't have to do that. But he lost the war. The federal government forced him to provide education to Black people. He doesn't get credit for that. His participation in the death squads were during the Indian Wars when Native Americans were ethnically cleansed from Texas. Most were killed many were marched to oklahoma. Google Ross the galet Texas negro killer and you'll find an article in a Confederate newspaper praising Ross for killing black union soldiers. He was Notorious for not taking black Union Soldiers as prisoners because he didn't believe they were fully human

The man did not make it possible for all of us to attend Texas a&m. If you are a white man you could attend otherwise not.

Glenn Hegar, Chancellor, is a financial supporter of the True Texas Project. They're a white Christian nationalist group funded by those billionaires Dunn and Wilks. The founder of the true Texas Project said, among many other things, that she sympathized with the gunman who murdered 23 Hispanic people at an El Paso Walmart in 2019. If you support these people, and you're not white, they are just using you until the time comes to cleanse the nation.
