Texas Pleas for Federal Help (12:23 p.m. NY)
Texas Governor Greg Abbott asked the federal government to send medical staff, therapeutic drugs and testing equipment to aid the second-largest US states fight to contain the latest wave.
Abbott, a Republican who has been highly critical of President Joe Bidens approach to everything from pandemic response to Mexican border security, issued a public plea on Friday as hospitals in Houston and elsewhere strain under growing virus caseloads.
The request targets six counties that include the Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, Fort Worth and Austin areas, all of which are experiencing alarming growth in positivity rates and hospitalizations, Abbott said in an emailed statement.

(16,254 posts)They have a lot of balls to ask for help after knocking President Biden, obstructing progress and stirring up all kinds of problems. I see it was sent by email, no less. Couldn't Abbot bend a little and physically call Biden out of courtesy, or is that too much to ask?
I'm sure Cruz had nothing but kind words for Biden.

(12,272 posts)But many already know President Biden is a "humble" soul that sincerely cares about all Americans regardless if you voted for him or not or even keep saying "Go Brandon".
When it comes to being a Christian, he helps holding the candle.
Good year to all.
