(36th Infantry Division - T for Texas)
"Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday said he finds it "offensive" that the FBI is vetting National Guard members, including those from his own state, ahead of President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration on Wednesday.
"This is the most offensive thing I've ever heard," Abbott, a Republican, wrote on Twitter. "No one should ever question the loyalty or professionalism of the Texas National Guard.""
"Approximately 25,000 National Guard troops have been sent to the capital -- including about 1,000 from Texas.
"I authorized more than 1,000 to go to DC," Abbott wrote. "I'll never do it again if they are disrespected like this."" foxnews
----------------
Governor Abbott indicates that he "authorized" the deployment of Texas Guardsmen to DC. That says to me that the Texas National Guard HAS NOT been federalized and is at present under state control. Given the disrespect shown by the Democrats, the RINO Republicans and the federal cops in distrusting the loyalty and devotion to duty of the Texas National Guard, Governor Abbott should withdraw his troops from the security mission in Washington.
The National Guard is a force with two masters, the state and the federal government when ordered into federal service.
Call them home! Now! pl

But the social studies teachers ARE doing their job.
Teaching kids how bad their own country is.
Prepares the college-bound for serious America-hate.
The rest?
As John Kerrey (a major league America-hater) said:
"you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq."

"Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday said he finds it "offensive" that the FBI is vetting National Guard members..."
Imagine how offended FBI Director Christopher Wray will be when the Texas National Guard starts vetting the FBI agents in DC and disqualifies working with half of them... for their questionable loyalty to the constitution and republic for which it stands. De facto FBI and DoJ loyalty to various elite political mafia families is unrelated (except via kayfabe) to de jure loyalty to the country or constitution.
