And then there's Alaska.

An Anchorage newspaper once held a contest for a new unofficial state slogan (official slogan is "The Last Frontier"). One of the better ones was "Texas is what Alaska scraped off its boot heel."Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

GROSS misrepresentation of the facts because you don't know SQUAT about Texas.
HOWEVER, then you double down with THIS lunacy....
If everything is "hunky dory" in Texas why is Mr Abbott asking for health workers outside of the state to come and assist at those overloaded hospitals?

They print this stuff so gullible people will suck it up and repeat it as fact.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
