  1. North Carolina refuses to lift the sanctions as well. The consequence of Obama being president gave my state an R Guv, an R house and an R senate for the first time since the 1800’s, now it’s biting him in the ass.

    Haha!!

  2. There’s SO much wrong with this. W-T-F!!??
    – The Preezy sends a letter to a Governor REQUESTING. . . . ?

    Gov Abbott sounds like he has more sense, common sense, and sense of security, in his pinky toe than O’Bozo and his entire cabinet combined.

    GO TEXAS!! HOLD THAT LINE! NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER GIVE IN!

  3. Common sense and truth prevails.
    I’ve been to Texas but two times in my life, I couldn’t be prouder of the Lone Star State. I hope many more States will exercise their resolve in supporting Israel and sanctioning Iran.

  4. If the DOJ had any lawyers working on a Hillary indictment, they would all have to be pulled away to harass these uppity states.

    Is it cultural appropriation for me to use the word “uppity”?
