This is true. And when I looked up the stats, they posted numbers including Hispanics as white, and with them seperate. One site noted that over 80% identify as white.

I actually know exactly what he was talking about and how you were mistaken. I found it when looking up the population discrepancy. He didnt say anything about births, but tweeted a link with the title of the study that referenced an article about texas gaining 9 Hispanics for every 1 white.
That shift included things like the birth rate discrepancy (1.4) but that was a fraction of the difference.
So now you know why I was throwing out there that you might have misheard him? To be fair, he could have said births later, since you claimed to have heard it from him directly, and this references a tweet. But I wouldnt wager much on that.
But we can stop misquoting him now, right? Simply stating the original study gives the facts that back up the demographics change.
Here's a link that even includes the original article.
John Cornyn Frets That Texas Gains 9 Hispanics For Every White
A retweet this morning raised a few eyebrows at the Texas Senator.

I don't know how you missed that article when I suggested you do a google search earlier when you claimed you found nothing. Regardless I know what I heard. I was not mistaken as to what I heard Cornyn say in an interview, not directly to me. Now what I heard may have been different from what was meant, as I specifically heard the number 7 and births. I have absolutely no doubt about that. If I had heard 9 and no reference to births, I would have said 9 and left it at that. 7 and 9 do not even sound alike. Thus there may have been something lost in the translation.I actually know exactly what he was talking about and how you were mistaken. I found it when looking up the population discrepancy.

In the final analysis, it makes no difference as it's obvious that Texas is changing demographically to the extent that Cornyn is or was concerned.

Ah, I see your mistake. I found zero evidence of him saying the 7 births comment. I strongly suspect he never said anything of the kind, but you never know.
So I'll offer up what I did before. That statement is incorrect. If he actually said, or if you just "misheard", it's still incorrect.
I gave you a nice link so you can reference the original material and not keep repeating a falsehood.
No mistake as to what I heard. I strongly suspect you never earlier did a google search. Again, it's all irrelevant in the big picture, as demographics are changing Texas, like it has Arizona and Georgia. In the end, that's all that matters. Does it not?
"Always" and "never" are words I usually apply to God alone. "Generally" is more useful in describing human endeavors or institutions. Those would be encompassed in the activities of governments and the impacts of human competition.
I can think of plenty of people who have rage and hatred in their hearts and yet claim to be followers of Christ. Go ask the people at the Capitol in January how many go to church every Sunday. This is more than left vs right or Christians vs non-Christians.
None of the people I go to church with were up there. That's a generalization but it is also accurate. Generalizations aren't always so reliable.
And I'm glad to hear that. I don't think generalizations are reliable either which is what I meant to get at in my response. cocks rule saying that "the left" is for rage, hate, and destruction is an unfair generalization that will only stoke flames and do more harm than good.
Now That’s funny......... because if you truly have Hate in your heart you aren’t a Christian my friend. Here’s a tip. Most Christians don’t have to tell you they are Christians. You can see it in the way they live their life. If someone is on the stump shouting how important their Catholic faith is you can probably deduct that’s not the truth at all. As far as all the violence in the past year I’m pretty sure none were Christians. That’s a pretty safe bet. And yes this is as simple as good vs evil. If everyone in America had Jesus as their Savior we wouldn’t have Republicans or Democrats running this great country of ours. We would all be United, one nation under God. Sound familiar?
I'm sure you heard that tweet real well.
But I can see how me being proven right leads you to think I didnt look it up. I guess I just accidentally made up the truth while you repeated the falsehood.
And yes, for the umpteenth time, the demographics are changing. Its just odd that you cling so hard to a falsehood if it's so irrelevant.
I'm aware that those people aren't truly Christian. But they believe they are. As do their friends, their fellow church members, and their community. And these types of Christians do plenty to spread their own versions of hate and oppression. Also are you saying people are only good if they're Christian? Or believe in God? And you can't be "pretty sure" none of them were Christians because you don't know them. We'll never be one nation under God because of the freedom of religion we have and people being allowed to exercise whatever beliefs they have. Everyone believing in the same God won't bring this country together. But lumping people into the left or the right and lobbing out generalizations towards those who believe differently sure won't help either.
I'm biased, and I know it. But my bias causes me to be more circumspect and not less.
The wind turbines froze bc they weren't prepared for the cold weather. If TX had winterized the equipment everything would still be working. There are several areas that are colder than Tx that don't have these issues. The real problem is Tx doesn't want to admit that regulations could have prevented this, as there would have been requirements to spend money on winterizing.

Well I’m sorry you feel that way but this country was built as One Nation Under God and that’s the only way it will survive. God is a peaceful and loving God in any religion. Anything else is a lie and the work of satan. Luckily For me I know God will take care of everything and for me to think any differently would show that I’m not a Christian. Knowing Jesus died on the cross for me and total faith is what it takes. It’s pure and it’s simple.
I hate to break it to you but God is not mentioned in the Constitution and "one nation under God" wasn't added to the pledge until the 1950's. Freedom of religion, however, is the very first amendment in the constitution. Meaning this country was founded on being able to practice whatever you believe.
I'm not here to doubt your faith at all. I'm simply telling you that there are plenty of proclaimed Christians who do plenty of hateful things supposedly in the name of God.
Gov Abbott had a completely different interview prior to this one on Fox where he doesn't mention the GND at all. I wonder why he is speaking out both side of his mouth.
Texas governor walks back Fox News comments on Green New Deal, says gas, coal failed in Texas freeze
While millions of Texans were without power in below-freezing temperatures Tuesday night, Texas. Gov. Greg Abbott (R) went on Fox News and told Sean Hannity that the failure of the state's power grid "shows how the Green New Deal would be a deadly deal for the United States of America." Abbott...
Nah
The last comparable snowstorm Texas had was in 1929. PR is faulty imho... this won’t matter to 80% of the country in 4 weeks. Hell... 5 people died in an attempted coup, 2 of em cops, and crickets...
So she is the only politician to make a wrong/inaccurate statement? Do you hold everyone to this same standard?
We do, he planned to stay in Mexico and work via Zoom. The only came home when he was caught. He won't hold his donors responsible as that will suck up his campaign money when he runs for President in 2024. Cruz is everything that's wrong with politics.
But you don’t get it. False prophets will be many but you as a Christian can see the truth.
I am curious, please give me some examples of all of these proclaimed Christians doing hateful things in the name of God.
Proven right? I heard what I heard. Misspeaking is on Cornyn's part. No, you didn't look it up or you would have said something. Only after I provided you the information did you say anything. I could have said nothing and it would have ended. You were under the impression that Cornyn never said anything on the topic. There's no falsehood that demographics are drastically changing in Texas. And that is anything but irrelevant. Here is what you fail to understand. It does not matter to me why the demographics in Texas are changing, only that it's changing.

I’m sitting at the red light not paying attention and looked over and saw gas was $2.45,I said good grief that didn’t take long to shoot up.The station next to it was $2.20,hopefully it’s still that in the morning when I get off.
Yeah, I think the first clue that I wasnt looking up anything was when I was quoting the birth rate ratio to a decimal point. That must have been because I'm a history buff on Texas birth rates.
I also didnt say he never said anything on the subject. I dont know where you get that when I repeatedly said that if he did, he was wrong, or that you misheard. Are you sure you're responding to the right posts?
And AGAIN I agree that demographics are changing, and never said that was irrelevant. You were the one that was saying his quote was irrelevant. I only asked why your willing to argue so hard for it when it's irrelevant and incorrect?
Is it simply because you want me to believe you really heard it? Because that's not going to happen without a link to some evidence. Because there is no trust in your word on my part.
I'm conservative but the ramifications of Cruz's trip may end up being catastrophic for Republicans. He barely won a close race over Beto. By the time he is up for re-election the demographics in once reliably red Texas are going to move towards blue. Californians are moving to Texas and bringing their politics with them at an alarming rate.
The loss of life in Texas is tragic. The political ramifications are going to be resoundingly bad as well. Double whammy.

Yeah, it's basically a gift to dems at this point. His biggest hope is short memories, but many media outlets are his political enemy, and will work to remind people.
The political ads will be devastating. I try not to write anyone off in politics but Cruz bent himself over IMO.
The system froze in 2011 and it was recommended that they winterize at that time and they chose not to. I suspect the image of Cruz on the airplane will live on there for the next 4 years so it won’t be so easy to forget.
They'll move somewhere else after they destroy Texas. Yankees and people from California just move all over the country destroying everything in their path. They'll complain about how its not the same as back home and move again.
I'm pretty sure I told you to look up regarding Cornyn. You never responded regarding that. You said you saw nothing, which was not surprising to you. Your words, not mine. So, I just don't believe that you googled him after I asked you to because there were articles to read. Obviously, I don't trust you either. I don't believe I said anything about Cornyn making an irrelevant statement. This horse has been beaten to death. I'm glad with demographics changing all around us, that we now have a new President of the United States, Joe Biden. who refreshingly will at least attempt to unite people rather than divide people like the previous President. Go ahead and have the last word on the subject. I won't know what it is because I won't check back on this thread. There's a convenient four-letter word and, you're full of it. If they had an IGNORE feature here, I'd put you on it. So, I'll do the next best thing and not read any of your posts anywhere.
So you say I never responded, then go on to discuss my response that I saw nothing about him and births? Par for the course from you on this one.
Your words from post #205:
"No mistake as to what I heard. I strongly suspect you never earlier did a google search. Again, it's all irrelevant in the big picture, as demographics are changing Texas, like it has Arizona and Georgia."
Sure seems like you said what you think you heard is irrelevant.
But, oh well. You made a cute speech about running away rather than a simple "oops, i was wrong". Seems overly stubborn.
Edit: oh yeah, there is an ignore feature, if you want to really hide from people correcting you.

Thats correct but even more Ironically the windmills require a petroleum solution to de-ice them and lubricate to prevent full braking. So a petroleum state didn't have the required quantities of petroleum solutions to guarantee use of windmills. I guess if they had a petroleum pipeline and nuclear power they would be warm and cozy.
When the statement is that stupid, yes I do!
