I never stop learning from you Chris,

[@BirdDogg]

Thanks Ray! I try to keep learning everyday I can, glad I can share some of it.

[@rayjaypaulsen]

@@BirdDogg Thank you Chris for putting such hard work on making these hard videos!

[@tin-foil-tiarra287]

love it, I lived in Rough and Ready as a teen

[@BirdDogg]

Wow! What an interesting place to grow up!

[@cynthiaswearingen1037]

Very good information.❤

[@BirdDogg]

Thanks Cynthia!

[@idigdaytona4478]

Enjoyed the video . I just recently learned about Rough and Ready watching an old 1958 Death Valley Days TV episode titled Rough and Ready .

[@BirdDogg]

I just stumbled across it recently myself while reading through the official records of the civil war.

[@idigdaytona4478]

You can watch the Death Valley Days episode on KZbin.

Excellent video once again. I was not aware of Rough and Ready, but I did know that there were some calls for secession in the North during the War of 1812.

[@texaco5589]

Thank you for this new episode 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@mwdjr3158]

Fantastic! Thanks

[@jerrydineen2827]

Thank you Chris. I had never heard of Rough and Ready as a town!

[@Paulftate]

👍

[@BirdDogg]

Thanks for stopping by Paul!

[@markadkins9290]

Great stuff!

[@BirdDogg]

Thanks Mark.

[@dalemoss4684]

"We've seceeded! Wait; we can't buy booze? Ok nvm" haha Thanks for this, I'd never heard about Rough And Ready before.

[@charlesanderson473]

Yes I do I think it is coming a lot sooner than you think but it's not going to be state against state is going to be state against government

[@rt3box6tx74]

The only holdup now is the outcome of a couple of lawsuits between TX and fed gov't. I've heard rumors there have already been some shoving matches between CBP & TX LEO over TX's razor wire. I hope they have plenty of that stuff on hand. CBP is liable to begin confiscating it at some point.

[@BirdDogg]

Scary to think what it would look like!

[@Rebelmediainc]

awesome!!

[@rustymebane8265]

Succession takes organization. You couldn’t get all the different categories of people together today to build A barn. Too many identity as wandered off from reality 🤪🤦‍♂️😳

[@BirdDogg]

I think it would be more mad max, every man for himself in today’s society. I shudder to think how our civilization will end. They all do.

[@rebelbatdave5993]

Thanks! Either didn't know? Or forgot about it!

[@JDsVarietyChannel]

Enjoyed this one. I never even heard of rough and ready! Which state was it that took a vote to explore secession a couple years ago? Was it New Hampshire? It was shot down, but the first time it's come up in a long time, and shows that times are changing.

[@BirdDogg]

Thanks for stopping in JD. I think it may have been New Hampshire. I know Massachusetts and Texas have for sure discussed it as well. There really is a lot more to the story of secession in regards to the founding fathers, the articles of confederation etc but I didn’t want to get to deep in the weeds in this one. I may do a video in the future about the history and legality of secession though.

[@johnjameson2731]

The South collapsed due to northern aggression, I hate it when its said, to the union.

[@paulgiarmo3628]

@johnjameson2731. Who fired the first shots in Charleston harbor, buddy? Think you got it backwards. The right side won. Deal with it.

[@Thelastdonspeaks]

The south retains her honor and unity. The north has gone trans. No threat there.

[@adamw7290]

Awesome video! I think Texas will secede if Biden is President again.

[@jrwatkins3872]

A lot of patriots in the US will secede period...Id/ NE WA Redoubt!

[@allen_p]

Very interesting video. I didn't know that about Rough & Ready. Let's get TEXIT started. Ten years ago I thought it was a crazy idea, but, now, the Federal Government has become an adversary to the Constitution and the rule of law. TEXIT now!!

[@rt3box6tx74]

Texas soil will be defended soon, either as a state backed by our surrounding neighbors or as the Independent Republic of Texas once again. We won't endure another full year of the status quo. Today's visit to the TX border by 60 House members is a tip off that the GOP side of congress is about to make some major concessions to Schumer's senate leadership, while Mitch fails to fight for us again. If he was worth 2 cents he could get a few Dem Senate votes. I guarantee ya, Dems could find some spineless Repukes for his vote if he needed them.

[@BirdDogg]

Scary to think what it would look like today

[@Thelastdonspeaks]

One can only hope.
