The Sleepy Hallow of the South

​This legend is linked to a real-life event in the mid-1800s involving Texas Rangers Bigfoot Wallace and John McPeters, and a horse thief named Vidal.


After killing Vidal, they decapitated him and tied the headless body to a horse, with the head attached to the saddle. The horse was then released, starting the legend of El Muerto.



The ghost of El Muerto is said to ride the roads of South Texas, particularly in Jim Wells, Duval, and Live Oak counties, terrifying those who see him.


The legend persisted even after the horse and rider were eventually captured, and Vidal's body was buried. The phantom rider continued to be spotted, leading some to believe that the curse had a life of its own.

What We Can Do About Mass Immigration

What can we, as individuals, do about mass immigration?


We talk about it openly so people know they aren’t alone in their feelings. We normalize hating immigration.


We make radical changes to our spending habits. We do not support businesses that hire immigrants and we tell them so. In my area that’s really hard because it means no fast food ever, no Walmart, etc. I have to source our food from local farms and find small businesses to purchase things like birthday gifts. Mostly it means we do without often.


To whatever legal extent you can, don’t work with them or serve them. Don’t take their opinions into account at the HOA. Dismiss them entirely. Make it not an advantage to live here.


Take up space for Christianity and patriotism online and in real life. Bumper stickers, buttons, pins, leave flyers on windshields. Don’t be afraid to be bold.


Push back on corporations and government. Recently, for example, I found out that my favorite American organic grocery service (
@AzureStandard) outsourced some jobs to Mexico. I raised hell online and let people know. They lost a lot of customers and potential costumers and were told exactly why. Recently we saw Cracker Barrel do a complete 180 on their remodel because of the outrage. Outrage has power.


Get involved in your community in any way you can. Run for school board. Lead a Scout troop. Become a cop. Join ICE. Report people to ICE.


Network with other patriots nearby. Picket and protest where you can. Support candidates with your values with your time and money. Door knock. Raise hell.


Keep the pressure on until the laws change and we can physically round people up and put them on planes or in jail.


Don’t be afraid to go to jail, lose your job or even to die. This is the hardest one, but we have to fight this with literally everything we have. That means you might get shot while innocent, like Charlie Kirk. Stop caring about that. We are in a war.
