Tea Party Protester Will Stay Home If Medicaid Is Cut!

Well, well the Tea Party folk who hope on the buses paid for by Special Interest money will be forced to stay home when the new Republican cut Medicaid funding that pays for their loved one's nursing home care.It seems that more middle and lowed middle class white folk utilize nursing home care for their elderly that minorities.Blacks and Hispanics keep their loved ones in the home and care for them.What a suprise,suprise.Some of these new folk seemed to have believed there were all young folk on Medicaid using this service but as it turns out they spend less money than the older group. Also did you see the plan to stop funding favorite project spending for Congress people is only two years.These fools think people will not see through this? What's so bad,they think this will hurt President Obama being reelected in 2012.Lee Atwater is turning over in his grave I wonder who the planner is for Republicans 2012. If Rick Perry and Sara Palin or all they have may God help them.People who take Sara Palin serious are plain haters of all things and are happy to have a ding bat to follow.Rick Perry has gotten so drunk on power he is willing to mislead this State into deep water,not following EPA rules,turning down education money and making very silly statements nationally has Texas looking like a fool all over the Country.

Election Day In Bermuda a Joy.

I spent Election Day in beautiful Bermuda. First time on the Island and it was simply beautiful. All the natural flowers, beautiful people doing all sorts of work. I did not realize that the Country was mostly Black and race and color does not seem to matter. Black’s White’s all over the place, working, smiling just living life other races present and peaceful. New governments Officers being installed were 85% people of color in the statements written about the outgoing Officers it was noted the former Prime Minister had been a race batting man people were tired of his using race as the base of all arguments much like some of our Official who have held office to long. The mane was voted out of office. The cab drivers were very polite clean and spoke English; my driver was the Mayor of St.George Parish very delightful man. Mayor by day taxi driver by night He was there to pick me up for my return trip at 6 AM the fourth day. We had so much fun and conversation was great all about policy what new ideas he had for New Year. I was so excited reading his name in daily paper recognized him as someone I knew. Unlike Dallas elected Officials over there don’t take themselves so serious and think election appoint them as Queens and Kings of the universe. The daily news was a joy to read there were real stories, human interest stories, and crime stats but it was not a liberal vs. conservative paper both sides were present but neither overshadowed the other. Paper respected its total readership and it was the only paper in town. My visit was such a joy that if I were a little younger and did not need transplant follow up at the best place in town, Dallas Transplant Institute I might move. I sure will visit as often as I can just for the political peace of mind.

Body Scan or Die ? Which Do You Prefer ?

November 16, 2010 As a DFW airport board member I find it puzzling that so many people object to TSA screenings. First the full body scanner only shows the structural outline of the body, it does not picture your body parts as in a picture or show body organs in living color. The scan is much like taking a medical scan and people have no objection to medical personnel looking at those scans and public safety is not involved. There are many substances that can cause damage to an airplane that are not detectable by metal detection. Metal detection is just that “metal” detect. I know for a fact people tape drugs and other substances around their legs, waist or any other part of the body that are not detected by detector ,the scan will show any object not a part of the body structure. I know of cases where Pilots have carried money belts around their waist one containing as much $35,000.00 in cash. Why would a Pilot fly with that amount of undeclared money in a belt? The scan is the only way to detect an object on a person’s body, pat down will also allow Officers to feel any object. If a person has nothing to hide what is the problem? I would rather be alive than dead.

What Happen To Our Values ?

What Happen To Our Values? I am sixty nine years old and have worked since age nine years. I enjoyed going to work during the summer and having money to but small stuff for myself and giving other money to my parents. I also worked in college and was first black elevator operator for Sears in Austin, Texas. My real student aide job which paid half my room and board of $42.00 per month .I kept $21.00 per month of what my father and sister sent and spent that on other needed items. My point I was taught the value of money and how to prioritize need vs. wants. Some recent events have taken place and I had to sit back and say aloud “God what has happen to my people” where has our training gone? I will illustrate what I’m having trouble with Dorothy and Willie were married had two boys, Dorothy and Willie divorced and both stayed very active in their boys lives. The boy lived with Willie he had custody and they would visit Dorothy regularly. Lorenzo the oldest son was a good baseball player and A student. Willie was a member of the Unbars Social club a group of local wealthy men and membership was by invitation only he also had a very good job and Lorenzo attended a private school with tuition about 12,000.00 per year. To maintain membership in Unbars it cost about $1200.00 per year not including extra activities. Dorothy has a very good job and maintains an active social life and member of various civic and social organizations. Could you tell me why Willie would apply for a one thousand dollar scholarship for Lorenzo? Could you explain how Dorothy who works for Blue Moon Beer Would allow Willie to apply to Blue Moon Beer for Lorenzo knowing she is on screening committee? Point being why we pay for everything we want and expect other to pay for what we need. How can you be in Society and belong to all the organizations requiringFunds. Yet not support your child’s financial needs. My Son received a full four year scholarship to college and I paid all other expenses, I did not apply for other funding to pay for his other need . I was a divorced mother with a job. People who live large but take resources from people who need them are guilty of poor judgment and violate the laws of God, Do not take from the Least of Thee. Now Dorothy and Willie want everyone to feel sorry for them because the cover has been pulled off for everyone to see. The worst part is they still don't get it! They see nothing wrong!

What Happen / Changed In 50 Years? Why Are People So ,Out There?

I drove up to Yvonne Ewell Townview Magnet High School to meet some very special young people in an after school meeting.School was ending and a gentlemen was directing traffic.I stopped and ask for direction on parking there was a handicapped spot open directly in front of me,however there was a white car blocking half of entrance to parking space.The man working with a DISD ID badge said to me the taxpayer,volunteer and coming at 4PM to help students" you have to wait until she pulls off,she is waiting on her son she picks him up every day and park there,plus her mother works up here".I know it's something wrong when a grown man working parking lot ,thinks it's OK to block a parking space and then say she parks there every day and her mother works up here. None of that conversation was necessary if he had done his job and simple ask the woman to move up five or ten feet she was not blocking full entranceto space. This happen on Parent Teacher evening. Parents were coming to campus to speak with Teachers ,parking was in short supply. What happen to this older man ,that he made an excuse for not doing his job which is parking lot not story telling.

Congress Woman Johnson Please Stop Talking !

There is something wrong with EBJ to walk into that Editorial Board and feel good enough to change her whole story about breaking rules is just crazy.What is it about this woman that she does not realize people know she is telling a LIE ? To make matters worse this woman really believes people in her District are so dumb that we believe her and support her doing wrong. Congresswoman Johnson will most likely be re elected but people in this district cannot stand to talk about this woman.It is a very bad feeling to know you must vote for this woman who betrayed you and every Kid in district 30, if you support President Obama's program.If I could trust Rev.Broaden I would vote for him but he is on record talking about the President and he will fight every single program the President suggest.I don't like all of President Obama's proposals but I take the good with the bad as I have with all Presidents.Is this woman on pain pills or something? Ms. Johnson you are not all that,and not the sharpest knife in drawer and we do know what good work you've done in the past but we also what you have done now,and we don't know how long you have been doing this type of thing so please don't hold your head up so high,your community is very,very,very angry with you .When you take from the least of thee and Kids people are not so forgiving.

Southwest Airlines acquire Air Tran Airways What's Next?

Southwest Airlines acquire Air Tran The recent announcement by Southwest and its plans to acquire Air Tran Airlines is the number one reason I was against the repeal of the Wright Amendment.The Wright amendment was introduced as a result of then Intro State Southwest Airlines suing the City of Dallas. DFW Airport has grown because of the Wright Amendment and businesses and people have migrated to North Texas as a result of its growth.DFW Airport is the single most important financial engine for this Region. Repeal of the Wright Amendment has the potential of reducing DFW to the equivalent of one of the two medium Airports in Dallas Forth Worth as Houston Hobby and George Bush Intercontinental. AirTran leaving DFW moving to Love Field with its 628,000 passengers for the past 12 months and adding traffic to a already crowed Lemmon/Mockinbird area can not be good for anyone but Southwest Airlines. Southwest has an option to leave AirTran at DFW however with Southwest paying such a low landing fee to City of Dallas $1.35 vs.$ 7.20 I don't think they will. All the emotions surrounding the Wright Amendment repeal and promise of low fares competition and other ghost stories has materialized.The only thing that has happen is the City of Dallas is building a $60 million new terminal,Southwest is buying other Airlines,Air Fare on Southwest has not gone down and DFW has lost 22,000 passengers and will lose another 628,000 at least after the acquisition. I hope all the people who were driven by emotion and not by economic data will now realize nothing out grows its birth.

Hinojosa Will Not Respect All His Bosses! That's Foolish !

Dr.Hinojosa has really disappointed me.I supported him from jump street.I believed that being from Dallas,part of DISD and Mother and Father living here made for a stable good man.Hispanic culture has strong family tradition and what family says and thinks makes a difference.I am not sure why he hired those incompetent staff early on,or why he waived his district rules for them.I'm not sure why he felt he had to let Scovall continue to run the district the support for Dr.H was strong enough he could have walked on water.Lowe got his way and delivered to the business community all that construction money and built all those beautiful windowless empty schools,while ours have third generation portables on campus. Why beg him to stay? Lowe and Flores and Bingham will be the cheerleaders for contract extension,I say renew in 2012 he has already had one activity on his contract.

It Only Takes One Family Member To Ruin Your Business!

I've been a customer of a certain Beauty Academy for years since it open. Never had on problem with any staff,student or management.I really like the Owned and instructor also they know hair.I went in the other day and had a disagreement with a young new staff member,the student working on me ask her a question that she did not know the answer standing there she made up an answer I knew what she said was not accurate so I said that does not make sense she proceeded to speak to me like I was 6 years old.I got up and told the student I could not sit there and be spoken to in that manner.The instructor stopped me and resolved the issue. I went back Sat. had put last week behind me ,I walked back and saw the young lady I spoke she rolled her eyes and did not speak.Young people who don't understand customer relations should not be placed in a relatives business without being told it's difference how you are treated at home and work. The first day she told me I should leave,her problem solving skill was limited to leave the business,if that is all she knows her Family members business will be closed soon. I hope it works out because the Owner is a wonderful woman who has worked hard to maintain a good business.I will continue to pray for them.

Maybe It's Me ?

I've been seeing and hearing strange things from people lately.I wonder if its my age or just changing times.I will let you decide. I went into a Nail shop in the hood where I live,Kathy Nealy was there receiving service,I spoke and took my seat did not hear Kathy speak but this is America people are free to do as they please.While Kathy and I were being served Katie Richie came into shop she spoke to Kathy who was one chair over from me,she did not speak to me.Finally I said hi Katie,she replied"Kathy is in here and she's my best friend and when she's in here she gets all my attention" I just smiled this lady sold me the custom draperies in my home,I casually said,I still have the drapes you put in my house 25 years ago,cleaned them and still good.In my mind I was giving this woman a compliment on her work just making small talk.The grown woman said to me "you can take them down". I sat there and wondered how a grown business woman, old as black pepper could be that twisted.I paid this woman and my door piece never made it to my front door window,but I never said anything.I see why we have moved so slowly in the business.We allow silliness to cause rudeness, we play church sitting there every Sunday morning and by noon the Devil has us on evil train wrecking everything in our path. How will kids learn anything with these grown people 50 Plus don't know when to grow up.I will say Kathy has some fine kids and beautiful grounded grand kids.

Thanks Marvin Crenshaw-14-1 Does Work!

Thanks Marvin and Roy I lived to see 14-1 work.I had gotten so disappointed time and time again in the single member districts being used against the interest of the people,I disliked the system. I now have seen it work for the good of the people.

I will VOTE November 3rd for Eddie Bernice Johnson Congressional District 30

I have lost sleep with the daily revelation of the activities surrounding the CBC scholarship program.First I was shocked with the statements made by the Congresswoman concerning her constituents and lack of qualified applicants,her constituents would not care who she gives 1,000 or 1,200 grants per year to. Many other issues have given me great pause during these past weeks. I know now for the benefit of my Country and District 30, I must vote for Congresswoman Johnson.President Obama's agenda set forth for the good of all Americans cannot be completed without Congresswoman Johnson.In good faith of America, I can not turn my back on the President of the United States of America. I also believe Congresswoman Johnson has been taught a lesson by this event higher power intervene as the teacher.The Congresswoman for her own well being and health, should take these next two years in congress to finish out any unfinished business,help groom someone to run and win District 30 for the next season relax,live and enjoy the remainder of her life in peace and good fortune. I wish Congresswoman Johnson well,I will never be OK with what happen, but for the Greater good of America ,I will move on put this episode behind and support district 30 Congresswoman.I am asking the Voters of District to Vote for Congresswoman Johnson on November 2,2010.

Chicago Mayor Daley Politician with A BRAIN !

Mayor Richard M Daley is a man with a brain,he knows that occupying an elective office is not a lifetime job. Term limit means your term is up. People who must run for office every time term ends should think about term end means you. Mayor Daley knows there are people smart or smarter than he and can move the city as good or better than he. Mayor Daley said "that every person especially public officials,must understand when it's time to move on","he and his family now begin a new phase of their lives". I wonder if public officials in Dallas have other lives,or is their ego so big that in their hearts no one can do the job but them.Is it the power that make them lie,cheat and steal to stay in public office? Lue Blackburn married new wife wonderful home in Grand Prairie want voters in his district to believe he lives in that dark musty house in Cedar Crest while his wife sleeps in her house,same thing terry Hodge did for 14 years see where she is now.People seem to think breaking the rule and not getting caught makes it alright in the long run it always comes back one way or the other.Most people in prison contrary to what some think are first offenders .One bad crime , sentenced to life,been good all their lives never a parking ticket but life, no consideration for being good 40 years that's life. Congress woman Johnson wants a pass because of what she has done in the past,it was the job she signed onto being sworn into office.When you break the rules of your job you simply should have known better.

Black Caucus Scholarship Information Couldn't Get Any Worse!

Just when I thought it couldn't get worse,it has.The latest information has fax copy of letter sent from EBJ's Dallas office to BCF asking for checks made to her grandsons and nephews to be reissued payable in their names not school which is another violations.I spoke with a staff person from the Congresswoman's campaign today I told him the continued stories about the incident was making voters madder than the money.The young man started to tell me how the News story was slanted,I stopped him,I said look no one has tried to hurt Eddie and you all need to stop with the blame game and everyone is wrong but us.I told him most of us.that have been around for a while know how arrogant and nose in the air Eddie is.How she has hired and fired staff and mistreated them for years,we just accepted that as a character flow and as long as she did the job it was in the back of our minds.Kay Baily Hutchinson has same problem she even has hits her staff.Somethings wrong with those old women good ,I never work for one of them.We believed EBJ to be honest,I remember when she did have financial problems long time ago and various people helped her. I don't know how that is,it was well before the concession contracts and probably why she tried to have some business venture to help pay her bills and raise her son.I never believed she would take from the poor to help make her living and if this latest information is true,it would appear someone had paid the school and the money was being replaced or used for something else.What ever the case she is wrong as two left shoes and nothing can make it right.She has had a long career in Congress 17 years.It was not free work in fact its not service its a job for pay.The voters give you a job paying $100,000 plus for representing us and issues that effect us and when you betray us all else is forgotten. The Voters did not betray Eddie she betrayed us.I told her staffer all she should say is "I'm sorry thank you for calling".I have not read or heard all her responses however I don't recall hearing her say,I'm sorry to the constituents of district 30.

Congresswoman Duped Black Community Again-Story DMN 8-29-2010

Comments based on information published in DMN 8-29-2010 Proof also printed in news. Congresswoman duped Community again. Congresswoman Eddie B Johnson is either out of touch is arrogant enough to think People in District 30 are fools. Congresswoman Johnson said “I doubt if there is anybody in my district going to question me giving to a kid to help him with college”. Congress woman you are very wrong. I and many other people in the district question you using money from a foundation meant for needy students in district 30 to give money to 1.People who don't live in district 30.2 money to relatives someone close as a grandchild.3.allowing a staff member to give to their kids money. The foundation was set up to help poor minority kids attend college, it’s a fund other non minority Congress members do not enjoy. The most disturbing is for Congresswoman Johnson to declare lack of “very worthy students” biggest lie ever been told. The GPA of 2.5 is the lowest of any I know. There are thousands of students in Johnson’s district with a 2.5 GPA who are college bound. Where did Johnson’s office post the availability of the funds? I serve on a committee and we beat the bush trying to find help for kids with higher GPA in the district. The other very disturbing thing is Johnson claim to not know the rules. How can you give a college grant program and not know the rule? How can we pay you and your staff and neither know the rule. The amount of money is so small that Johnson could have given it from her pocket, if they needed help. Johnson could have also helped Givens if he needed help. Johnson used that money because she has access and power over the money plain and simple. Not one person related to her or Givens was a hardship case. Greed is the name of the game. The fact that it is Johnson gives me deep pain. I have supported Johnson since her first State Rep.run for Office. I assumed she played by the rule and was honest but now I Have lost what little trust I had in elected Leadership. To be a Congressperson and take money from the least of thee is a sin of the worst kind. Young people working two jobs trying to attend school would have been able to pay for almost a half semester with that money, given by corporations for their benefit only to learn that the very person charged with following rule and making sure they received it gave it to her own. Sad part most people won’t hear about this Black community won’t talk about it like always Johnson will be reelected. Black Voters and single member districts are still being duped.

Ellen Nordegren ,Fantasia and Others

Ellen and Friends: woman all over this World are hurt daily by men in their lives.Cheating is the number one cause of pain in a marriage many couples remain in their marriage for various reasons.Many of us are tagged as fools,friends say we're being used all sorts of titles are given woman who remain in troubled marriages.No one really knows why they really stay we try and answer that question but really there is no answer.Ellen talked about her pain,most women don't have that outlet there is no money for therapy and all the classes that wealth people are afforded.Ellen I am sorry for your pain but not as sorry as I am for women who must suffer with no help or money.One Hundred million dollars could do a lot for my pain and suffering move on and stop telling your story it's old, we all have on. Fantasia get your act together,drop your family move start your life over,hire a financial adviser and trust him or her ask Opera for a name of someone who can help you or Quincy Jones,you see MJ moved away from his leach family members.God has given you a second chance live it.

Freedom of Speech Works Both Ways.

When I read comments by people I take them for what they are.I sometimes respond if I feel the facts or wrong but when it's there opinion I have nothing to say.People who read this blog feel the need to "Get Me Told" Back in the day that meant disagreement and telling you in your face about it.Today they write it on the Internet most won't even sign their names. Young people don't have a clue what is important they spend so much time on bull shit that if something real comes along it's missed,gone forgotten. Men who worship men and agree with what ever is said to get along with the Man.Black man I mean.Men who think they own their life and livelihood to a man,because once upon a time he helped them never taking in consideration there is a God and he controls your destiny. That sad group, who hides who they really are,to fool a man,they have no idea who he really is they're all fooling each other and all doing the same thing,what a Joke. When it all comes down,Oh what a day it's going to be.How do you allow one man to control your brain,control who you like,talk with,agree with.How do you pray and sing and participate in Church when your love and faith are of man not God.How do you smoke weed drink by night and turn into a Saint by day,while the man you are fooling doesn't know God does. Hope this helps some of you grow up.

Zach Thompson Doing Good Job ! Had Good Teacher .

I stopped by Health Department yesterday and saw Zach doing what he was taught be on top of your program.Zach was down in lobby watching and making sure operation was going smooth,with extra staff people walking around checking the movement flow of clients.I looked there was the water already iced to give people suffering from heat.I saw Zach on TV last night real good job in not allowing blame for long line to fall on his department.Very Good job.One woman in line made statement about building being large enough to allow people on the inside" what she and most people don't know is there are areas in that building that people cannot enter if they are not being treated because of State Privacy Laws,the elevators cannot accommodate that crowd and if they could who will run up and down to get them,he had no other place to put them,they should have come year around. Dallas County has always worked with less staff than most agencies it's size so there are no extra people sitting around.If one job is cut at Dallas County that's about four jobs in one everyone does three or four jobs.I know I helped combined them if I knew than what I know now I would never have done that and I never will again. Things look good Zach and when I make comments about the County it's never personal.

Judge Foster Making A Closing Statement.

Judge Foster is making a name on his way out.Foster we've seen since the March election is the one who should have shown up all the time.Dallas Counties budget is on the hand and heart of Jim Foster. Republicans will not vote for Tax increase because of the Tea Party folk and Sara Palin's of the world.That's the problem with extreme politicians somehow they intimidate all Office holders to follow their silliness and will cripple this Country for a November vote. What is happening in Dallas has nothing to do with Austin,Nevada or any place else place this is not a clone.Dallas County and City needs a small tax increase to maintain current service levels. How about that Rick Perry asking President Obama for border patrol,Slick Rick is Governor he should hire Texas Rangers for Texas patrol.Rick Perry said he wanted nothing from Washington so keep your word Perry.
