Never forget that Republicans could have, after 1/6/2021, made Trump go away as a candidate forever by voting to convict in his impeachment. Instead what McConnell said they wanted was for the criminal legal system to deal with it, which is how we get to where we are today

Anyone with even a cursory knowledge of Texas history knows about Stephen F. Austin, Mexico's first empresario given the opportunity to settle Anglo-American families with their slaves in Texas. When Austin first came to Texas, he crossed the Sabine from Louisiana on the El Camino Real.

The things I'm interested in is long and varied. It's always been a problem for me. In just my fascination with history alone, I love reading about events that occurred wherever I happen to be; researching genealogies and walking through cemeteries; exploring the traces of historic roads and places.

Some say "Jesus is the reason for the season." But there's way more to it! Our Christmas traditions are a blend of ancient Roman and Germanic festivities. The Nativity story, with its virgin birth and starry guides, echoes ancient myths from Egypt and India, blending diverse beliefs into one story.
