Maybe after Abbot runs for President. Seems like his covid response has killed his chances at president. I think he was almost a non factor in the straw poll at CPAC, even if Trump does not win again. He's being primaried for gov.

Would you tell me more about his response? Maybe after Abbot runs for President. Seems like his covid response has killed his chances at president. I think he was almost a non factor in the straw poll at CPAC, even if Trump does not win again. He's being primaried for gov.

He has to be woke by now, right? Love his movies, and enthusiasm, but he IS part of Hollywood. ??

Nothing against MM but home grown is best for Texas. He’s a born and raised Texan Yup- Uvalde boy if I remember right. He is a great actor and I think he directs some but he has hollyweird in his veins. Ken Paxton or even Chad Prather could sure get my vote. Heck I'd love to see Michael Berry run for it myself.

I gained some respect for Matt McConaughey after hearing him interview on one of the Dave Ramsey shows. He's a minimalist, lives a modest life and disciplines his kids. He talked about how grateful he was that his parents spanked him and taught him respect and character, and he makes a point to mention it anytime anyone asks him about his upbringing. He also said "It's our job to teach our kids character, not buy them stuff."
I don't know anything about his politics, but he's got some respectable traits.
Boco couldn't catch a cold. But if he did, it would be Top Lot.

I did not know that. There has never been a lock down were I live or mask being required. There was a group of local tree huggers working with a group from Cali to put public trails on our ranch and other local ranches. The pressure was so bad that some of the other ranchers sold out. I went to their groups to discuss my concerns with trash and other problems, with opening local ranchers to the public. It was pointless trying to discuss anything with them. I went to many of their meetings and there was around 100 of them and just me. They would threaten me with eminent domain and legal actions. I invited them to the ranch so we can have a discussion and they took it upon themselves to invite local county officials and others like minded nut bags. I canceled the meeting and called for legal advice, which was going to be very expensive. I wrote Gregg Abbott and he wrote me back. I told him that farming and ranching was hard enough, showed him their written plans and let him know that we wanted to be left alone. Within a week their project was shut down. Mask mandates and lock downs. In Texas. And then coming in as a Johnny-come-lately after some polling comes out doesnt exactly present the image of a steel spine that the base wants these days.

I happen to be an Abbott fan myself and thank you for sharing JTG- that story shows why.
I'm not here to trash an actor but I bet there is a fair chance he would have sided with the "you didn't built that / what's yours is ours" crowd

T and no talk about secession please we don't need another 3rd world country on our border. You mean like Minneapolis? Oh right that's not on the border.
