Watch live: Gov. Greg Abbott to make a "statewide announcement" at 1:30 p.m. Central

Abbott will make the announcement at a Mexican food restaurant in Lubbock.

BY TEXAS TRIBUNE STAFF MARCH 2, 20216 HOURS AGO

Gov. Greg Abbott will be in Lubbock on Tuesday to make what his office has described as a "statewide announcement."

Abbott did not hint at what he would announce, though he will be speaking at a Mexican food restaurant in the city and will address "small business and community leaders of the Lubbock Chamber of Commerce." The event begins at 1:30 p.m. Central. We'll be streaming here it live, thanks to our partners at KXAN in Austin.

I don’t know how that pre-post Cancun approval rating is relevant but “Exciting news” is promising.

[raven]

Texas Secession begins tomorrow!!!

[xtreme_right]

He said he is opening Texas 100%

 

[TheSearcher]

So, that's a start. How is 100% defined?

 

[xtreme_right]

He said we now have tests and treatments we didn’t have back when he did his first mandate.

 

[Old Gray Mare]

Texas is re opening.

Yeah and it just happens to coincide with the run up for the spring primary midterm elections. It's a total coincidence, I'm sure.

If you believe that you might want to refrain from responding to emails from Nigerian Princes.

 

[xtreme_right]

Talking about how many are getting/ will be getting vaccines

 

[vestige]

He said he is opening Texas 100%

May as well.

Every spic, raghead and gum south of the border is going to be passing through the state carrying every disease known to man.

 

[Intestinal Fortitude]

Yeah and it just happens to coincide with the run up for the spring primary midterm elections. It's a total coincidence, I'm sure.

and he should declare to close the Mex border

 

[TheSearcher]

Yeah and it just happens to coincide with the run up for the spring primary midterm elections. It's a total coincidence, I'm sure.

And a bill in the Texas legislature to outlaw a lot of what has been mandated.

 

[xtreme_right]

The vaccine supply is expanding so rapidly, every Texan “who wants” a vaccine shot, will get one.

 

[Sherrynboo]

Big whoop! NG helping with vaccine distribution.....he can put his vaccine where the sun don't shine.

“State mandates are no longer needed”

 

[xtreme_right]

NO MORE MASKS!!!!

"Next Wednesday" Tomorrow "next Wednesday"? Or March 10th?

The sheep have been conditioned. The masks will now stay "voluntarily."

Not me, kemosabe.

 

[Red Baron]

Presser,

- Most state Wuhan China Virus mandates are being rescinded.

- Next Wednesday, all businesses are allowed to open at 100% capacity.

- Mask mandate enforcement has been rescinded.

 

[Seeker22]

That he did this on Texas Independence Day is no accident.

 

[readynwaiting]

Please God let it spread. No more masks.

 

[greysage]

Please God let it spread. No more masks.

I'm more afraid of the masks than the wuflu.
But I'm beginning to find this comfortable for errands and grocery shopping.

and that's as it should have been all along.

Agreed. I can't even watch them on teevee. I just get really poed. I hate it when anyone in power thinks they know what's good for me. Give me the evidence and I'll make my own decisions.

 

[The Hammer]

"Next Wednesday" Tomorrow "next Wednesday"? Or March 10th?

I'm guessing 10th.

 

[nomifyle]

now if the idiots in Louisiana would follow suit. And that includes that dumb ass bitch mayor in new orleans.

ETA: The brilliant ass wipes in Louisiana have moved to Phase 3, bars allowed to open statewide, expanded capacity to expand and the F'ing mask order is still in place for at least 28 more days

If COVID-19 hospitalizations rise above 15% for seven straight days, county judges may opt to impose stricter COVID-19 mitigation strategies, but they cannot impose face mask restrictions, Abbott said.

But I'm beginning to find this comfortable for errands and grocery shopping.

Not to mention carjackings and bank robberies.
