Texas attracting businesses avoiding Biden mandates
*Epoch Times:* *Biden’s COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates Driving Big Business to Relocate to Texas: Gov. Abbott* There have been 75 businesses relocated to Texas this year. Texas is one of those states that have outlawed vaccine mandates although most of the population of the state is vaccinated. I think this is just one of the attractions of Texas. The lack of a state income tax is another reason people are relocating. to the state. People can also buy nicer homes for less money than in places like California and New York. read more

Yet, when it came to military strategy, Churchill was out of his depth and should have stuck to the toy soldiers he collected as a child.
