I REMAIN A VERY HARD NO ON THE BONDS, BUT THE VOTER SURGE MAY BODE WELL FOR BISD

There is zero polling to tell us how people are voting. Anyone who tells you they know which way the vote is going is merely guessing. 

But we can intuit from the last minute surge, albeit still a very low turn out, that those who favor the bond issue, are contacting people who they think will vote yes.

I do not see how the no vote would organize at the last minute.  But the yes vote knows who the teachers are and how to push them into a yes vote.

But it still remains anyone who goes to the polls will see, "THIS IS A PROPETY TAX INCREASE"

Now my experience with the BISD today tells me they are in desperate need of a new communication system.  For a good part of today the system was down.  Parents in need of an emergency communication with BISD had to go to the school, unless they knew the cell phone number of  a teacher or administrator.. 

This is not acceptable and proof even with money they cannot keep the internet access running or any part of the communication system. 

Why would you trust them with another half billion dollars.

 INFLATION AND MONETARY POLICY: WHAT THE FED FAILS TO UNDERSTAND, AND ACADEMIA SEEMS NOT TO HAVE LEARNED

Normal inflation can require a higher Fed rate.  In the normal course of business inflation can be spurred by high employment and pay.  The more people are working, and the more they earn leads to greater spending.  In this scenario you must hold interest rates higher to try and bring down inflation.

THE TRUMP INFLATION IS VERY RARE AND REQUIRES LOWER INTEREST RATES

Unemployment is up, and wages are down.  This is the opposite of normal inflation.  In large measure the cost of living is not the result of higher employment or higher demand.  The higher costs of living are tied to Trump's tariff war.  Everything imported is going up.  

The costs of imported goods will not go down with lower interest rates.  But lower interest rates will make buying a home easier, and the cost of borrowing to go down. 

VOTE A HARD NO ON BISD TAX INCREASE

The numbers do not bode well for BISD.  After 7 days of voting a mere 2507 people have voted.  On Sunday it was a mere 105 votes, and on Monday 350.

Compounding the vote is people are getting their tax bill in the mail.  They are mad as hell with the tax increases on their tax bill. BISD needs to move elections back the Spring, so this does not happen when they try and increase taxes

Only a fool would try and predict the outcome of this vote.  But we know when the turnout is very low the voters are the hardcore voters who tend to be anti-tax.

The ballot may doom the Bond issue.  The ballot tells the voter they are voting for a tax increase.  Why would someone 65 and older vote for a tax increase?  They are tired of years paying taxes to BISD when it has been upwards of 20 years of not having children in BISD.

Why would homeowners who have abandoned BISD agree to pay higher taxes?

But then it is possible the Yes voters are being pushed out to vote.  I have not received any information via mail or email or text on the issue. 

WHY WOULD ANY SANE PERSON VOTE TO FUND A MAGA CURRICULUM WHICH WILL DENY THEIR GRANDCHILDREN A FIRST-CLASS EDUCATION?

Someday your child will move out of state to learn the truth about our history.  They will be angry and possibly rebel against those in other states who were taught the truth.

A yes vote dooms your child to ignorance.  It dooms them to a life of being an outsider when they have to interact with others who know the truth. 

We either stand united with the teachers and academic freedom, or we surrender to ignorance. 

 AS A NATION WE FAIL IF THE REPUBLICANS SUCCEED IN DIVIDING US

I know people are hurting.  I understand the fear in losing SNAP benefits.  You will not be able to feed your family.  There is way too many federal workers not getting paid.

But to those who are already suffering, demanding millions of Americans give up their healthcare so you can get paid or receive services is very short sided.  If we establish the Republicans can cut services by dividing us, then We the People lose.  

It is United we Stand, or Divided we Fall. 

WILL THE BISD BALLOT DOOM ITS PASSAGE?

YEP, RIGHT ON THE BALLOT IT SAYS TAX INCREASE

I REMAIN A VERY HARD NO ON THE BISD BONDS

After 5 days only 1812, people have voted on the bond issue.  This means nearly all the votes are from the die-hard voters.  This means a lot of senior citizens.  This means a no vote the second they read it is a tax increase.

THE BOND MESSAGING IS FALLING ON DEAF EARS

No one can tell me 1812 votes means parents are turning out for their children's futures. 

All of the social media nonsense once again proves no one reads social media or find them credible. Just the facts man, and not the talking points the bloggers are paid to write. 

MY KEY REASONS FOR OPPOSING THE BONDS:  THE EDUCATION OF OUR CHILDREN AND PROTECTION OF THE TEACHERS FROM THE MAGA CURRICULUM 

There is zero chance of the Democrats taking back Texas in less than 10 years.  Republicans and MAGA voters are coming to Texas from Blue states.

The only way to fight back against the MAGA curriculum is to shut down our local school districts.  BISD will not use its funds to fight for a non-MAGA curriculum.  BISD will go along with Texas and remove all teachers who go against the MAGA curriculum.

IF YOU VOTE FOR THE BONDS YOU VOTE AGAINST THE TEACHERS AND THE RIGHT OF CHILDREN TO HAVE ACCESS TO AN EDUCATION BASED ON ACADEMIC FREEDOM

The bonds will require the very children now being denied a proper education to pay for the MAGA curriculum.

WITH VOUCHERS NOW IN PLACE, I SAY REMOVE YOUR CHILDREN FROM BISD AND ENROLL THEM IN A PRIVATE SCHOOL WITH A NON-MAGA CURRICULUM

 WILL THE NEW TEXAS SUPREME COURT CHIEF JUSTICE JIMMY BLACKLOCK DECIDE GABBY GARCIA'S FUTURE

I am a master of the rules, and it makes the judges mad as hell.  Very few judges understand their real boss, other than the people, is Chief Justice Blacklock. In terms of his administrative duties, he oversees even the Chief Justice of Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. 

The mandamus which for sure will be filed today against Art McDonald in the Texas Supreme Court, puts Art in the middle of the mess in my case, and the case of John Doe.

I have asked the Chief Justice to remove Regional Administrative Judge Missy Medary as a key figure in the obstruction of justice by Gabby Garcia, and in my case.  The request was a direct filing to him in his administrative capacity to oversee recusals.

All of the judges and attorneys are part of the mess.  I can prove Missy Medary and the court appointed attorneys blocked John Doe from protecting himself.  I can prove she appointed Judge Woerner of Corpus Christi to toss my lawsuit against Texas Lone Star and the City of Brownsville without a formal hearing.  I stopped him. 

FTL Finance a third party had no legal authority to do business in Texas when they filed their dispositive motions.  The law provides for automatic denial.  In my first case on the issue, Arby's had to surrender I believe $150,000 bond for presumed damages after they secured a TRO to shut down a franchisee.  The law firm of Jackson Walker is arguing the law does not apply to FTL and the law on the eve of the hearing becomes moot if they pay the fine to be reinstated.  Such an application of the law would negate the law if applied as urged by Walker Jackson.   The law is so clear, any interpretation of a law which negates its effect is void. 

Louis Sorola, Bobby Lerma, Adam Neece, Katrina Barraza, and her husband Lawrence Rabb are all in the middle of it,

UNDERSTAND THE NEWEST SCAM: PROPOSITION 12

People are shocked I oppose Proposition 12, Judicial Reform of Disciplinary System.  For me it is a hard no.  What it does is makes it easier for the Chief Justice to target any judge who does not toe the line with Govenor Abbott or Ken Paxton.  It effectively eliminates key Due Process provisions for the judges and allows Chief Justice Blacklock directly or through a new committee to remove any judge they believe is not following the law as directed by Govenor Abbott or Ken Paxton.  You have paid attention to Trump threatening any judge who does not toe his line. Well, they are about to make it reality in Texas. 

PASSAGE OF PROPOSITION 12, IS AN END OF AN INDEPENDENT JUDICIARY

This was part two of the Republican takeover of the judiciary and its rulings.  Previously the Republicans created the 15th Court of Appeals. It oversees all appeals concerning state policy and state law.  There is no chance another court of appeals will find a different result, thereby forcing the Texas Supreme Court to have to get involved.  As to state matters, the 15th Court of Appeals, controlled by Governor Abbott appointees is now the final court on issues of state policy and laws.  No one can argue the 15th Court of Appeals opinion conflicts with another court of appeals because they are the only court of appeals issuing rulings. 

WHERE ARE THE DEMOCRATS IN TERMS OF PROTECTING THE JUDICIARY?

The Democrats are nowhere to be found on any major policy issue in Texas.

Gina for Texas: “Fight Back”

GINA HINOJOSA ANNOUNCES FOR GOVERNOR

Here opponents will call out her father for who he really is.  She will pay the price.

There are other qualified candidates and donating to Gina is a waste of money.

South Texas already rejected her father for Donal Trump.  He left officer as the Chair of the Democratic Party in disgrace.

 

WE MAY NEED A CLASS ACTION TO FORCE ELON MUSK TO BUY ALL HOMES WITHIN 30 MILES OF THE LAUNCH SITE 

I was typing a brief when my windows and French doors began to shake.  It sounded like hail on my roof.  This was the worst of the launches to date.

BYU (Utah) is hardly a bastion of liberalism.  Their scientists concluded with each launch our windows shake loose and over time will need replacement. 

It took a minute to register that it was the launch which caused my windows to shake.

We are in Texas so we will never be compensated for the loss value in our home. 

Look, I am happy for SpaceX.  But I should not have to live with shaking windows and French doors.

 CATA PRESAS GARCIA SHOWS HER HYPOCRACY IN THE BISD BOND MATTER

This does not change my mind that I am voting against the Bond issue.  If I have extra money, I want to use it to protect our teachers from the MAGA onslaught to academic freedom.  The day our teachers lose academic freedom will mean an irreparable injury to our children.  I say not one extra penny to the BISD until they guarantee the academic freedom of our teachers.  The teachers have enough problems without having to work under a MAGA curriculum.

THE ISSUE OF SENIORS HAVING TO PAY SCHOOL DISTRICT TAXES IS OLDER THAN ME

You cannot win an issue if you do not know the demographics of the voters you need on your side.  Key groups are seniors and taxpayers without children in the district.  These two groups if organized can defeat the Bond issue.

Where Cata falls apart is, she laments the state wants to reduce the school taxes for seniors and the disabled.  By age 65 seniors are fed up with paying school taxes.  They have paid for 40 years and in many cases 20+ years after their children left the BISD.

Cata wants to deny seniors the proposed discount so that her sons can better afford a home.  First of all, if BISD taxes are the reason you cannot afford a home; you are not even in play to buy a home.  A thirty-year-old can seek a better job or get a second job.  I did, so why can her sons not do the same? How selfish: tax the elderly so he 30-something sons can get a tax discount.

Once you have been paying school taxes for 40 years, long after your children have left the district, I think it is selfish Cata wants these seniors to continue paying higher taxes so her sons might be able to afford a home.

Cata, be a parent and tell your sons to get a better education so they can afford a home. 

BACK TO WORK: I LOST MOST OF THE DAY IN BED WITH BLOOD PRESSURE AND SUGAR SPIKES: AND I AM BACK WITH ANOTHER INFECTION

 

 THE HERALD PROFILED ME AS A GUEST CONTRIBUTOR - THE GRAPHIC WAS PROVIDED BY THE HERALD

In the litigation I am preparing this piece is key to challenging immunity.  The argument is methodical and based 100% on historical fact.  Immunity exists because academics take it as true, when it is not.  

A great tragedy in our Republic is we have no great minds to challenge the establishment.  It is an endless tit for tat without any substantive challenge to any of the premises upon which speakers rely.  

As an academic I am frustrated when I read commentary about how the Constitution works that is dead wrong. The worst part is when the commentator is normally adopting an interpretation of what they believe, and it is wrong, they are arguing against their own belief system.

The Constitution is a trust agreement instituted by the true sovereign, the people. There is no government until it is instituted by and among the people.

Government is the creation of the people. Without the people there is no government. This is why it is a trust. As the creators of the trust, we reserve the right to abolish it when the trustees, the government, no longer honor its terms.

In the Declaration of Independence Thomas Jefferson clearly stated government is instituted by the people and is abolished when it no longer serves the people as designed. One of the greatest rights Jefferson said the king abolished is redress. The right to hold the government accountable.

Immunity is entirely a defense by the judiciary to avoid government accountability. If you believe in immunity, you do not believe in the foundation of law, which allowed the colonists to abolish their ties to the king.

This is so important that the Founding Fathers put it in the First Amendment to the Constitution. When the Supreme Court first addressed the idea of immunity from suit, it rejected it for the very reasons I have outlined. The government then amended the Constitution to bar suit by a resident of one state against another state. This is the only place where immunity can be found in our great charter of government.

After the Civil War the Supreme Court abolished the legal basis for government. Of note to Texans was a financial case known as Texas v. White. In the single most egregious ruling ever by the Supreme Court, they found that when Texas joined the Union it agreed it could never secede, and therefore never did. Having never seceded from the Union, the original state of Texas had to pay Mr. White on the confederate bonds.

This changed the nature of government. The sovereign went from the people to an entity created by the people. The sovereign was now the government. The people, in one opinion not based on any document, went from holding on to the right to abolish non-responsive government to being permanently tied to a non-responsive government. We were now enslaved to a non-responsive government.

The ruling appears to violate the Thirteenth Amendment.

Unfortunately, people interpret my understanding of the inception of government to favor slavery. This is a false assumption. It is no better when an entire nation is enslaved to a non-responsive government, than an entire race is tied to slavery. Both are wrong.

The point that is missing is that the Union won the war and thereby had the authority to end slavery. What is lost on so many people is, had England won the Revolutionary War we would still be tied to England, and the words of Thomas Jefferson would be meaningless.

To the victor go the spoils, rightly or wrongly.

As we accepted the idea We the People surrendered their right to throw off a non-responsive government, we failed to see what in fact we did was surrender our status as the sovereign over a subordinate government instituted by the people and among the people. In effect we have agreed to be slaves to a non-response government.

The creation of immunity by the judiciary was the single most egregious act by the Supreme Court in our history as a republic.

 

JUDICIAL COUP D'ETAT

So much to update:  The government shutdown is impacting the federal court system.  The system for efiling with the federal courts is asking I update my account before I can file documents in federal court in Austin.  The problem is they do not have the staff to help the users.  The recording indicated my wait is 199 minutes.  The email system is also down.  So, I will have to mail the documents.  The clerk's office is understaffed because of the shutdown, which will only further delay the filing of the documents.

Justice delayed is justice denied.

JOHN DOE

Since June 25, 2025, I have been in a battle with the State Bar not allowing a pro se to file complaints electronically.  In other matters I have filed several via mail.  But filing by mail is expensive and delays the process.  

On Thursday last after the clerk made it all so clear no matter how many times, I complain they are not going to give permission to a pro se to use their efile system.  So, I made it clear to the Chief Counsel what the federal lawsuit will look like and guess what?  On Monday I received 4 emails on two different accounts notifying me my account has now been approved for efile.  Why does it take a federal lawsuit to make them do their job? 

There will now be a flurry of efiles against all the involved attorneys.

I am also waiting to learn if the complaint with the commission on judicial conduct will be accepted against Jaime Tijerina, the Chief Justice of the 13th Court of Appeals.

I am very busy.  I lost all day yesterday due to a failed router.  Spectrum gave me a good deal.  I ended a 20+ relationship with Netgear.  

 

YOU CAN SEE BOTH PICS EXPRESS THE MOTHERLAND

The Soviet one reads:  Soviet Motherland.  I see so many pics of Trump which reminds me of old Soviet posters.  This one is one of four which hangs in my family room.

There is no issue in my mind, Trump is influenced by the old Soviet propaganda posters. 

Every so many weeks I read another article wherein Trump has authorized a 10% purchase interest in some US American company.  Just this past week his administration bought a 10% interest in two lithium mining companies.  

If Democrats were to start buying government interests in private businesses, the Republicans would be yelling communism. Technically they both would be wrong.  

I personally support the government buying an interest in private business if it means making a profit.  Why not?  It is better the government raises money on investments than in taxing my income. 

UPDATE:  THE ABOVE COIN WILL BE WORTHLESS BECAUSE IT IS A COMMEMORATIVE COIN.

A real currency is not allowed by law. "“No coin issued under this subsection may bear the image of a living former or current President, or of any deceased former President during the 2-year period following the date of the death of that President,” according to the US code governing coin design."

So, Trump decides a commemorative coin is okay, even though the grand children of the old people who will buy it, will find it in a sock drawer and say: Who?

STATE COMMISSION ON JUDICIAL CONDUCT HAS OPENED AN INVESTIGATION AGAINST LAURA BETANCOURT OVER FALSIFIED CLAIM JOHN DOE HAS A FELONY CONVICTION IN JUDGE GABBY GARCIA'S COURT

THE TEXAS SOS OFFICE HAS ACCEPTED A COMPLAINT CHUY GARCIA IS RUNNING AN ILLEGAL CAMPAIGN FOR THE 107TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT

WARNING: AN OPEN INVESTIGATION IS ZERO EVIDENCE OF WRONGDOING - STEP ONE IS TO VERIFY THE DOCUMENTS, AND TWO THE ACTUAL CLAIMS IF TRUE ARE A VIOLATION OF THE RULES

In both cases neither step one nor two have been completed.  Further and this is very important; I have seen cases wherein the final ruling not only vindicates the judge but empowers judges to engage in the very conduct complained of.  It is very possible both judges are totally cleared of any wrongdoing.

But I can prove I have been very busy clearing John Doe's name of Laura Betancourt's and ADA Jacqueline Morales false claim John Doe has a felony conviction in Judge Gabby Garcia's court. Just this week I had to send documents to the office overseeing federal jury selection to prove the felony conviction is wrong.

THIS IS WHAT SAENZ WANTS:  NOE GARZA'S DECISION TO ACCEPT SAENZ'S HELP IN HIS CAMPAIGN WILL BE THE DEATH NAIL IN HIS CAMPAIGN AS SAENZ IS BROUGHT DOWN

Noe Garza praises Saenz: "Thank you District Attorney Luis Saenz for your years of dedication and leadership in serving Cameron County. "

Forget the issues surrounding Saenz, it is very poor judgment for a sitting Judge or judicial candidate to praise a DA. While the truth is, they should all work together, when possible, they cannot be friends if they as judges are to remain independent.

Before the primary Saenz will fall, and Noe Garza and his wife Adela will have to explain their relationship with Saenz. The sad part is, while this incident opens the door to someone challenging Adela, Adela by all accounts has done a very good job as the judge in juvenile court. This issue is poor judgment in her association with Saenz.
