[JustTheNews] Critics had called for leader's resignation over ongoing problems related to the agency's role in Operation Lone Star (OLS), Texas

The head of the Texas Military Department (TMD), Maj. Gen. Tracy Norris, has been replaced by Maj. Gen. Thomas Suelzer as Texas adjutant general months after critics called for her resignation over ongoing problems related to the TMD’s role in Operation Lone Star (OLS), Texas’ border security mission.

Gov. Greg Abbott announced that he appointed Suelzer to lead TMD, which consists of the Texas Army National Guard, the Texas Air National Guard, and the Texas State Guard.

#3  I cannot resist pointing out that it my understanding that the Texas Military Department is employing personnel in a STATE ACTIVE DUTY status, a form of state civil service unique to those who have or have had an affiliation with the Texas National Guard. They are NOT on federal active duty (neither Title 10 or Title 32) and are acting under the authority of Texas Law. The intentional confabulation by those who resist efforts to enforce our border with descriptions about "active duty in the US Armed forces" or so imply, is pure bulllsh*t. Texas is trying to protect its overwhelms border and the influx of hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens because of the criminal disregard of the Biden Administration and DHS to enforce existing law. Beto is merely the latest dishonest demokrat politician trying to sabotage border sovereignty! Management problems, payroll, are exclusively a Texas government proble, and no one is compelled to accept a State Active Duty status, it is uniquely voluntary.

#2  Sidenote - don't expect Army Times, Military Times, and Stars and Stripes to be legit conservative voices backing the military. They've been taken over:

According to the Daily Caller, the Times has appointed a far left radical feminist and avowed Trump hater named Sarah Sicard, as its top editor. From the article

The Army Times appointed as its top editor a 28-year-old feminist from Brooklyn who has repeatedly tweeted that she hates President Donald Trump and worked as a spokeswoman for a New York councilman who describes himself as a “moderate Democrat.
