I don't own an 1824 flag, but I hung the Gonzales flag up Monday night and will continue to fly it through March 6.

So did they let Santa Anna go on 4/23? How long did they hold him?

No Soros DA in 1836, so he wasn't released back onto the Houston streets that quickly.

He was detained for three weeks, and had to post a surrender treaty, quit the field and agree to lobby for Texas independence before being paroled. He later violated the terms of his parole and sent another army into Texas, but that's a story for another time.

Close your eyes, listen & relax. Jester Hairston sings 'Green Leaves of Summer'. Hairston played Jim Bowie's slave, Jethro in the 1960 John Wayne Alamo movie.

I think I see the heads of two ISIS terrorists to the right of the white water.

Just think in three or four more years President Trump will have that scene blocked by a huge wall built with funds from Mexico by Mexicans.


This aged… poorly.

Love this thread every year!
