Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said that his state is doing remarkably well in minimizing coronavirus death and infection rates, despite heavy criticism following his decision to ease restrictions.
The Republican governor said in a tweet that it was reported that there were no deaths in the state on Sunday related to COVID-19, the first time Texas experienced such a feat since they started tracking coronavirus data. He also said that the state reported the fewest number of infection cases in more than a year. Today Texas reported:
* 0 Covid related deaths–the only time that’s happened since data was tracked in March, 2020.
* the fewest Covid cases in over 13 months
* the lowest 7-day Covid positivity rate ever
* the lowest Covid hospitalizations in 11 months.

Thanks, Texans! — Greg Abbott (@GregAbbott_TX) May 17, 2021 While Texas did not have any reported casualties due to the coronavirus Sunday, there is a cause for skepticism as the heavily populated Dallas County does not report new COVID-19 data on Sundays, according to The Dallas Morning News .
CDC data also shows that Texas had more than 300 deaths last week related to the coronavirus.Abbott’s comments follows his decision in March to lift the mask mandate in the state, when he said that it is time to fully reopen Texas.When the decision was made by the governor, many Americans were not eligible to get vaccinated.President Joe Biden said in response to the lifted mask mandate in Texas: We are on the cusp of being able to fundamentally change the nature of this disease because of the way in which we’re able to get vaccines in people’s arms. We’ve been able to move that all the way up to the end of May to have enough for every American to get — every adult American to get a shot. And the last thing — the last thing we need is Neanderthal thinking that, in the meantime, everything is fine, take off your mask. Abbott said that the president’s remarks were hypocritical as he had just allowed migrants infected with COVID-19 […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
