Mexico Crushing Texas Border Farmers by Refusing to Honor Water Treaty.

(I say we just send the TNG to take over the dam and release how ever much water we want, but that's just me.)
Mexico has been crushing Texas farmers and border communities by not releasing water from its dams as part of an international agreement signed in 1944. The ongoing issue, worsened by sustained droughts has pushed a Texas county to issue an emergency declaration.
This week, Cameron County Judge Eddie Trevino issued a disaster declaration for his county citing that the drought conditions presented an imminent and continuous threat to the region. The declaration comes ahead of the start of the hot summer season in South Texas that is expected to adversely affect farmers and communities due to a lack of water, Trevino said in a prepared statement.
Earlier this year, the county judge sent letters to the U.S. Department of State asked them to pressure Mexico into releasing water from their dams so that Texas counties could deal with the issue. These letters appear to have not had any effect.
At the root of the issue is the 1944 International Water Treaty that regulates how much water each country gets from the Rio Grande and the Colorado River. According to documents from the treaty, Mexico gets 4,317,210,000 cubic meters of water every 15 days from the Rio Grande, while Texas gets 2,158, 605, 000.
Texas officials claim that Mexico has not released its share of water and as such, they have not been able to replenish the water levels at Amistad and Falcon Dams.
Trevino has urged farmers in his county to reach out to the U.S. Department of Agriculture to have access to various disaster assistance tools and funding to save their crops and prevent further damage.

BREAKING VIDEO: Gov DeSantis responds to Joe Biden’s transgendering of Title IX, says “WE WILL NOT COMPLY”
Governor DeSantis just posted a video responding to Joe Biden’s change to Title IX which would compel schools to allow biological males to compete and dominate female sports.
DeSantis says emphatically that Florida will not comply and that the state will fight back against it:
“Florida’s response to Joe Biden trying to inject gender ideology into education, undermining opportunities for girls and women, violating parents’ rights, and abusing his constitutional authority. We will not comply.”

'Snapped,' Throwing Menstrual Pads: The Tale of VP Harris' Brawling Secret Service Agent Just Got Weirder.
A Secret Service agent was removed from their assignment of protecting Vice President Kamala Harris and subsequently hospitalized, following what appeared to be a mental health incident at Joint Base Andrews on Monday.
As RedState previously reported:
Two sources familiar with the situation told CBS that the agent spoke nonsensically and incoherently. Additionally, the agent is reported to have engaged in a physical altercation with another officer. The sources claim that the agent had pushed the special agent in charge while they were near the lounge area of Joint Base Andrews. Real Clear Politics reported the agent began punching the special agent in charge after getting on top of him.
Now, the identity of the officer has been revealed, along with more details surrounding the strange situation. Michelle Herczeg was removed from her duties with the Secret Service on Wednesday. She was a former police officer with the Dallas Police Department and an Air Force veteran.
On Monday morning, Herczeg arrived at the base and began deleting apps from a male agent’s personal cell phone before becoming increasingly agitated. She then engaged in erratic behavior, such as mumbling to herself, hiding behind curtains, and throwing menstrual pads and other items at an agent, telling him that he would need them later to save another agent. Herczeg continued making alarming statements, such as the other agents were "going to burn in hell and needed to listen to God.”
Herczeg was heard screaming at the special agent in charge (SAIC), listing the names of female officers on the vice president’s detail and asserting that they would support her and enable her to continue working. When the SAIC attempted to relieve her of duty, as a witness told Real Clear Politics, "that's when she snapped entirely."
Herczeg allegedly became physically aggressive, chest-bumping, shoving, tackling, and punching the SAIC. This prompted intervention from other agents present, with a heightened alarm as Herczeg was armed, although her gun remained holstered. Agents wrestled her to the ground, disarmed her, cuffed her, and then escorted her out of the terminal.
DEI Concerns
In prior coverage, RedState noted that the agent had previously been a subject of distress by staff and that the hiring process, including allegedly "DEI" practices, raised concerns among officers in the Secret Service, per reporting from Real Clear Politics.
Herczeg previously filed a $1 million gender discrimination lawsuit against the city of Dallas in December 2016, alleging mistreatment due to her gender during her time as a police officer.

The lawsuit included claims of retaliation for reporting sexual assault and harassment, stating:
“…intimidation tactics were used as investigative tools to persuade Herczeg from seeking criminal relief against the officer who assaulted her.”
The suit also claimed she suffered, “stress and mental anguish from loss in payment compensation.” Herczeg's lawsuit and appeals were dismissed by Texas courts.
As this is a developing story, RedState will bring you updates as they become available.
