Eagle pass and the eclipse

[Crepitus]

"The prospect of Eagle Pass, Texas, becoming the first municipality in America to see the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024, triggered visions in the border town of big crowds preceded by a big music festival.

The city’s marketing and tourism director, Aide Castano, told a 2023 meeting of the Eagle Pass Rotary Club that the city of 28,000 should prepare to host nearly four times its population for the event."

The spent $3.5 million getting ready for it.

"But then Texas became a place where a perfect spot for a music festival was seized by troops under orders from a governor spending billions to boost his political fortunes."
And it gets worse.

"At 3:30 p.m., the festival commenced on the casino grounds. Rodriguez, the local music producer, saw only 30 people at 4 p.m. Two hours later, he counted just 150.

“The worst flop ever,” he said."
a $3.5 million unrecouped expense at the hands of a governor focused on his political prospects rather than his constituents.

This is today's republican party.

They wouldn't have had to do anything but politely ask all the immigrants to help setting up and imagine how you could have transformed Eagle Pass.

well if they come then it might be a big boost for a border town that is a long drive in the middle of nowhere to get to a decent size city along the Mexico border.

So people refused to show-up at a "gathering" when the FBI and DHS warned of terrorist activity at such eclipse events and some leftist dem wants to blame it on Abbott.....Do tell.

In the wake of the recent terrorist attack in Moscow, American intelligence officials have issued a cautionary bulletin warning individuals to be careful while attending large gatherings in the US.

The bulletin, released by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), specifically highlights the potential for violence targeting mass gatherings, such as sports stadiums, concert venues, and places of worship. Concerns have also been raised regarding the upcoming solar eclipse scheduled for April 8, which is expected to draw millions of spectators outdoors.

This isn't a victory for anyone concerned.

Wake the fuck up and look around. Republican polices are destructive to the economy, the environment, and the nation.

The invaders would have stolen anything they were allowed to get their hands on.
