DID TRUMP'S EMERGENCY DOCKET DENY JUSTICE TO AVERAGE JOES

The news media seems challenged on deciding how many people had their case denied by the Supreme Court during the 2025-2026 Term.

You can click here to see the order's list which has case numbers assigned when filed during the Term.  You decide.

This Term, it is not disputed, the Court only issued 68 opinions.  This is shameful. Click here to see history of opinions by year.

Before any modern technology the Court easily issued 200 plus opinions and once over 300.  The Court is clearly not upholding its oath of office.

Was the Court just so busy approving Trump's agenda to get to the average Joe's case?

BUT A REAL CASE WHICH REOPENS JOHN DOE'S CASE AGAINST LUIS SAENZ AND GABBY GARCIA

Today the Supreme Court remanded a lot of cases filed by inmates claiming their Plea Bargain is unenforceable. 

The Supreme Court held that an appeal waiver in a plea agreement is unenforceable if enforcing it would result in a miscarriage of justice.

"We principally hold that an agreement not to appeal a sentence is unenforceable when it would result in a miscarriage of justice—meaning, when it would leave in place the kind of egregious error that would bring the judicial system into disrepute."

See Hunter v. US

Do not forget, John Doe was forced to sign a plea bargain under oath stating he had no history or mental illness, while the motion to find him mentally incompetent was pending before the court.

 

EXACTLY AS PREDICTED JUSTICE ROBERTS AUTHORED THE OPINION

I did not have to open the opinion to know the result.  I saw the R for Roberts as the author and knew the result.  

This is not complex.  Roberts has an ego.  It was 100% predictable he would close out the term with the final opinion.  

THE NEWS MEDIA IS STILL NOT REPORTING THIS DECISION WAS 5/4.  THAT IS SCARY

Thomas as was expected leads the dissent.  His issue is, temporary workers or visitors do not intend to stay in the US, so the 14th Amendment does not protect them.

"By definition, temporary visitors to this country do not choose to make a permanent home here, and their children thus cannot claim the privilege of citizenship. Because the executive order is lawful at least to this extent, respondents’ facial challenge must fail"

What he is saying is a challenge to Trump's EO in its entirety is overbroad.

ASSOCIATE JUSTICE THOMAS SHOWED HE REALLY DOES NOT BELIEVE IN ORIGINAL INTENT.

Thomas wants to add language to the 14th Amendment to get to his result.  The authors of the 14th Amendment could have qualified born here with intent to stay.  They did not.

"The Fourteenth Amendment provides: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they re side.”

TRANSGENDER ATHLETES:

The decision was 9 zip that schools can separate athletes based on "biological sex."  All 9 Justices agree "biological sex" is sex assigned at birth.

My issue has always been Transgender advocates argue there are more than two genders but then want mixed players based on different genders.

So much time has been lost arguing over this.  The money needs to be raised and spent to promote transgender athletes. Now that is the real case.  Can a school district which separates athletes based on transgender status not fund Transgender athletes?

All Justices agreed on the result, but three felt the Court went too far.

KAVANAUGH, J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which ROBERTS, C. J., and THOMAS, ALITO, GORSUCH, and BARRETT, JJ., joined. THOMAS, J., and GORSUCH, J., filed concurring opinions. SOTOMAYOR, J., filed an opinion concurring in the judgment in part and dissenting in part, in which KAGAN and JACKSON, JJ., joined. JACKSON, J., filed an opinion concurring in the judgment in part and dissenting in part

When I read the above, I knew that as to the judgment the result was unanimous. 

We needed this result.  But it is not over.  Science will continue, and overtime science will decide how we decide gender.  During this period while science reviews gender, society will adjust to the changes.

But now the three liberals by agreeing with the application of Title IX, secured the ruling school districts mut fund athletic for Transgender student.  I am okay with the decision.

I have not read the entire opinion, but the elephant in the room seems to have been ignored.

We all have different hormone levels.  Some women have very elevated testosterone.  There have been calls to ban them from sports.  Really, so now people want to look to hormone levels and not just gender assigned at birth.  

This question needs to be addressed.  It is either at birth, or later in life when we change gender identity based on hormone levels.

TODAY'S OPINION PUTS THE COURT'S PREVIOUS FINANCE DECISION, CITIZENS UNITED ON STEROIDS

The political parties are now free to spend, spend, spend in coordination with political organizations.

MY APPPLICATION FOR STAY AGAINST THE CITY OF BROWNSVILLE

This latest filing has to be filed by tomorrow morning.  I am working on it.  My diabetes is not under control.  My BS is everywhere.

My left numb foot is getting worse and last night I noticed two sores.  I have to get caught up so I can get to the doctor.

If the sores are diabetes related, I could end up in the hospital again given my history of antibiotic resistance.

STRATEGY:  If you follow the Supreme Court and who authors the opinions, you know for sure, the immigration opinions seem to be assigned to Alito.  We could see he was short on his allotment of opinions going into last week, hence three immigration cases in one week authored by Alito.

Now is not the time to put a new issue before Alito.  Tomorrow seems to be the last day of the Term with 4 Opinions remaining.  The key Citizenship case will be decided.  if Alito is the author we will have the most explosive Supreme Court case in its history.  If John Roberts is the author in favor of citizenship, Alito will be very angry.

By mid-July the Stay docket will still be active because of Trump.  Each Justice will have more time to review any filings.  That is when I will put the Stay before Justice Alito.  If he uses his discretion to not take the case, it will be filed in federal court in Austin.

GEOFENCE CASE:  This is the case asking if it is constitutional for tech companies to turn over to law enforcement the phone numbers of people in an area where a crime occurred.   How the government narrowed the users to just two is not clear in the opinion. There has to be something in the process which allows the officers to narrow the search.  Nonetheless, the process violates the Fourth Amendment.

It is interesting to me the news media covered this case last, although not the last opinion of the day.

"For all those reasons, we hold that police officers invade a cell-phone user’s reasonable expectation of privacy when they access his Location History. It does not matter if the time period scrutinized was only two hours. Nor does it matter that the materials obtained were handed over by a third-party tech company. When the government “accesses historical cell phone” location information—Location His tory as much as CSLI—it “conducts a search under the Fourth Amendment.” Carpenter, 585 U. S., at 300."

Supreme Court Opinion

MAIL BALLOT CASE:  TRUMP IS VERY CONFUSED IN BLAMING CONGRESS WHEN THE LAW HE OPPOSES WAS PASSED INTO LAW BY THE REPUBLICAN CONTROLLED LEGISLATURE OF MISSISSIPPI

This morning the Supreme Court upheld Mississippi's mail ballot law which says if postmarked by election day, they can be counted up to 5 days after the election.

Mississippi is basically Trump country, and it was their legislature who pass the law Trump opposes. 

This case is so important in ways which have nothing to do with mail ballots.  The Republican controlled legislature responds to the people of Mississippi, and not Trump.  This is lost on Trump.  What we see here is the Republican legislature in Mississippi following the demands of the people while rebuffing Trump.

This is a very important analytical tool in predicting elections and how to conduct elections. 

At the state legislative level Democrats need to campaign on the question of, do the state Mississippi legislators answer to Trump or the people of Mississippi.

This decision is a great insight into "all politics are local."

BECAUSE OF A LACK OF REPORTING SKILLS, WE REMAIN CLUELESS AS TO WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING WITH THE BAR DISTRICT ON PABLO KISEL

I believe I have read most of what is out there on the issue.  I have read nothing specific enough to allow me to form a qualified opinion.

This is in part why I no longer send letters to the editor with the Herald.  They will always run from any story which speaks to the incompetence of the city of Brownsville.

I do not doubt the claims about how dangerous the area may be.  It is unacceptable if the city can prove its numbers.  But the law does not look to results but, process.  Every bar owner deserved a notice of which codes they violated, before they were shut down.  This is basic law.  

Now I can imagine an urgent situation wherein the city can prove the bars were specifically warned about violations of the new code, and chose to not act, while leaving the patrons in the area in a very dangerous situation.  In law this is known as exigent. 

So even if the claim the area is very dangerous is true, the city had a constitutional duty to tell the bar owners of their specific code violation, before the bars could be closed. 

I do have legal experience on this issue.  Over 20-years ago Dallas was going through the same thing, which eventually led to a Red-Light district.  I did a lot of the consulting work on legal issues.

If all I go on is the social media posts, then I am to believe the City of Brownsville just closed these bars without warning.  Well, that would be a black and white violation of the constitution.  I need to see the evidence before I make such a claim. When regulations are enforced in a random and arbitrary fashion it violates due process.

I want to see the lawsuit and exhibits of what was posted on the doors of the establishments before I form an opinion.

The social media coverage gives me no information as to the judge who signed the TRO.  We are in Cameron County where the practice of law is discretionary.  Once I see the pleadings, I will be shocked if they are in order.  But I would not be shocked if the city violated the due process rights of notice and opportunity to respond, afforded the bar owners.

IN MY CASE THE CITY IS IN COURT STATING CODE ENFORCEMENT IS DISCRETIONARY

The defense by the city is so bizarre because it opens a response, they are enforcing the city code in a random and arbitrary way. 

This is where the bar owners need to focus their claim.  They can use the pleadings in my case to show the city as a matter of policy has opened a policy of random and arbitrary enforcement of the code.

IF SOMEONE CAN GIVE ME THE STYLE OF THE CASE, CASE NUMBER, PARTIES, I CAN DO A MORE COMPLETE ANALYSIS OF WHAT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING.

    THE 21ST CENTURY ROAD TO HOUSING ACT IS ALL SCAM, WITH NO MEAT TO HELP THE PEOPLE

I have read 7 articles detailing the ACT.  I can find nothing in any of them which helps the new home buyer directly.  The entire ACT is a trickle-down policy which presumes if you help the developers, the benefits will trickle down to the consumer in some 3-5 years.

The next time Democrats tell you they oppose Trickle Down Economics, you need to throw this ACT in their face.

THE KEY FACTORS HURTING NEW HOME BUYERS IS INTEREST RATES, AND HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE.

My mortgage has an interest rate of 3.9%.  The Texas Veteran Land Board is currently loaning money to Texas Veterans at 5.75% discounted to 5.25% if the veteran is disabled.

On average the national mortgage rate is about 6.75% for non-Texas Veterans. 

The FED has already signaled interest rates will go up at least twice and maybe three times by the end of the year.  This will only raise mortgage rates even more, thereby pushing new home buyers out the of the market.

Nothing in the ACT addresses this issue.

Also, you can save $200-plus on your monthly mortgage if you can put 20% down.  It covers the mortgage insurance in the event you default.  It is presumed that if you put 20% down, even if you default the bank can still get 100% back of the payoff.

On a new home for $250,000, this means you need to put down $50,000 or pay for mortgage insurance. Depending on your location and risks associated with the loan, the PMI can add $300.00 to your monthly payment.

Nothing in the 21st Century ACT addresses mortgage rates, PMI insurance, or homeowners' insurance. 

In my immediate neighborhood there are four homes for sale. Two are estate sales, one is a federal forfeiture drug related house, and one is a regular home seller trying to sell their home. 

Because there are too many homes on the market, they are all overpriced in my opinion. I am watching one estate sale and will consider buying if they drop the price to $175,000.  In my opinion it needs a complete remodeling on the inside.  To do it right, the cost is $100,00.

There is zero chance the price of the home will ever drop to $175,000.

Nothing is being done to lower interest rates. PMI or homeowners' insurance.  There is no relief coming for new homebuyers

MY SOLUTION

The Texas Veteran's Land Board needs to drop interest rates for Texas Veterans to 3.5% basic and 3.0% for disabled veterans.

A federal VA loan does not require PMI insurance.  The Texas Veterans Land Board needs to drop the downpayment to 10% to avoid PMI insurance.

Could you image Gina Hinojosa having any understanding of this issue.  As the Texas Democrats meet nothing is being proposed to facilitate homeownership for Texas.

NOTHING WILL BE FIXED UNTIL WE CHANGE U.S. MONETARY POLICY

The U.S. dollar and oil drive how much money there is to spend.  We need to just end this policy and allow the U.S. to print however much money it needs, with tight restrictions on budget spending.

The strength of the U.S. economy will keep the dollar stable and allow other countries to do the same.  Interest rates will come down, and middle America will be able to afford the American dream.

Our policy of paying interests to big firms so that our economy can function is a form of corporate welfare.  

When Nixon took us off the gold standard they predicted disaster.  It in fact saved our economy.  The idea that the U.S. American people should have to pay interest to investment brokers so we can run our economy is ridiculous.  

So long as we have strict regulations on what the newly printed money can be spent on, the world economy will hold. 

A NOTE TO ELON MUSK

I get people do not trust just giving tax money to wasteful governments.  So here is my idea: Elon Musk should fund a billion-dollar low interest mortgage company which loans money to residents of Cameron County at 3% for mortgages, with a 10% downpayment to avoid PMI insurance.  

Home ownership will jump by leaps and bounds.  A billion dollars is nothing to Elon Musk, and he buys favor with the people.  Elon, your people need to run the program.  The politicos will turn it into a profit-making adventure for themselves. 

 

KENDALL SCUDDER, ANOTHER FECKLESS LEADER: MAYBE WORSE THAN GILBERTO HINOJOSA

At this time, it seems Kendall Scudder and Gina Hinojosa seem incredibly clueless in how you rebuild the Texas Democratic Party.  It begins by tossing off all institutional/plantation Democrats from the Party.  That means you Gina Hinojosa.  

You will not flip Texas from red to blue by claiming, "vote for the first Latina candidate for governor.  

You will not flip Texas when your candidate for governor is begging for $10,000, at a time her opponent Greg Abbott has 

Gina Hinojosa is begging to raise $10,000, at a time Greg Abbott has about $96 million in available funds.   This does not fly with her reported actual donations and cash on hand.

TUSA is reporting the following on Gina as of May 16, 2026

Cash on Hand:         about $618,000

Total Donations:    about $2,417,618

Total Spent:            about $1,660.188

By asking for a mere $10,000 to pursue her false claims on Data Centers makes her look weak.

Compare the same data on Greg Abbott being reported by TUSA as of May 16, 2026

Cash on hand:        about $95,503.00 million

Total Donations:    about $45,913,00 million

Total Spent:            about $85,000.00 million

WHILE IT IS TRUE CLAYTON TUCKER FOR AGRICULTURE COMMISSIONER DOES NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO MANAGE AN EFFECTIVE CAMPAIGN - See TUSA, he has a message, something lacking in the Gina Hinojosa campaign and in fact in the campaign being run by the Texas Democratic Party.

Clayton Tucker Campaign Page

Gina Hinojosa Campaign Page

Texas Democratic Party Page

Just compare the three.

THE BATTLE TO TAKE BACK THE STATE IS ONE ELECTION AT A TIME, SOMETHING LOST ON HINOJOSA AND SCUDDER

You will find no information put out by the Texas Democratic Party telling you or me which state House or Senate races are possible swing elections which we as Democrats can win if we help the candidates raise the money to win the seat.  We need to target our money on these lessor elections, which will take down the supermajority currently held by the Republicans.

The first step to change is getting rid of the supermajority held by the Republicans in the House and Senate.  Scudder is clueless on this issue which is why as the leader he offers no help.

The next step is to seek out a state office candidate whose message can turn Republicans voters into voting for Democrats.

Everyone knows I am not a supporter of the Texas Democratic Party of plantation/institutional democrats.  They offer nothing to the people.

But look at Clayton Tucker's campaign page.  It is detailed with ideas which will help our farmers and ranchers.  He may not be able to win, but he can move Republican farmers and ranchers to the Democratic party and help win a few House and Senate seats which may be a toss-up. 

Scudder and the Texas Democratic Party should be telling use which seats we may be able to flip.  Scudder and his team are clueless and seem to be working hard to ensure the Republicans continue to control Texas.

This is how you bring change, and not by begging for chump change. 

 

GREG ABBOTT BUCK'S DONALD TRUMP ON DATA CENTERS AND CALLS FOR STRONGER STATE REGULATIONS

HOW STUPID IS GINA HINOJOSA TO JUST OUTRIGHT MISLEAD THE VOTERS ON DATA CENTERS AND STATE REGULATION?

Trump is 100% opposed to state regulation of Data Centers.  He failed in his Great Big Beautiful Bill to pass a 10-year effective moratorium on regulation.  He then tried an Executive Order.  Neither worked as the states fought back.

IT IS FACT: GOVERNOR ABBOTT IS PUSHING FOR SOME OF THE BIGGEST STATE REGULATIONS ON DATA CENTERS TO INCLUDE REPEAL OF TAX INCENTIVES

Greg Abbott's legislative agenda on the issue includes a mandate that DATA Centers bring their own electricity to the grid before they can access the Texas electrical grid.

Others are:

1. requiring new facilities to add power generation to the state’s power grid

2. requiring data centers pay for their own grid interconnection and infrastructure costs

3.  mandating the use of “closed-loop” water systems, which draw a large amount of water at the start but reuse it over some period of years.

4.  require annual reporting by all data centers on electricity and water use

5.  establishing best-practice standards to address community concerns like noise

6. repealing data center sales tax exemptions and “other outdated or unnecessary incentives for data centers”

So why is Gina Hinojosa paying a known pay to play blogger to mislead you on the facts?  Because she pays to play.

The entire thing is so silly?  She is begging for $10,000 in new donations to buy Billboards to promote this misinformation of the facts.  It is a campaign which will cost millions, and Gina has found herself begging for chump change in the amount of $10,000.

I AM NOW SUPPORTING ONE STATEWIDE DEMOCRAT FOR COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE

Clayton Tucker on the issues is running a very solid campaign for Commissioner of Agriculture. Click on his name.  You will find no such depth of understanding of the issues and how to make change anywhere in Gina Hinojosa's campaign material.

This is how the Democrats take back the state.  Clayton Tucker is speaking directly to the farmers and ranchers in Republican territory.  These voters care about their farms and ranch.  They will vote based on good policy. 

Bringing these Republican voters over to the Democratic side based on solid policy, is how we slowly flip Texas back to the Democrats.

 

CITY COMMISSION MUST ORDER INDEPENDENT COUNSEL TO INVESTIGATE WHETHER HEALTH SCOTT'S CONDUCT RESULTED IN VIOLATION OF MY ADA RIGHTS, AND IMPENDING SUIT AGAINST THE CITY FOR VIOLATION OF THE ADA ORDER IN PLACE

To be as clear as possible:  John Cowen will fight any such effort tooth and nail.  But come the next election he cannot protect everyone.  John Cowen will never allow for such an investigation because communications involving John Cowen, Will Treviño and Alan Guard will show Heather Scott was given a free hand.  They know she will use such communications if sued by the city.

Who does the city commission represent?  Not the people.  Tino Villarreal will not be able to use his old money to advance his political ambitions once the truth comes out and his failure to reign in John Cowen.

A proper investigation into this matter will allow for a slam dunk removal of John Cowen as mayor.

 

JOHN COWEN, THE MAYOR WITH NO CLOTHES OR IF YOU WILL - THE MINI-TRUMP

Cowen can be named in the ADA lawsuit because insiders are assuring me, he is running the show and cares more about settling scores than running a clean government.  I just need one email from John Cowen saying he opposes doing the right thing, and he then becomes a coconspirator.  There are enough people in management at the city who dislike him, the evidence will be produced.

When elected officials use their perceived inherent power, while holding a position of limited power, disaster follows.  This is a common analytical tool when studying elected officials and their downfall.

I want to say the simpleton bloggers trying to make John Cowen a racial issue need to stop.  The problem with John Cowen has nothing to do with race, just a sense of superiority.

I have spoken with enough people to know the choice of Alan Guard as city manager sent a tidal wave of double takes.  People who really run the city are clueless as to how the city commission could choose him. 

When you talk to the people on the street a clear message is heard.  Yes, the people are worried about inflation and other such matters, but the one universal issue is the failed infrastructure in Brownsville.

It is incredulous to the people on the street who follow city hall matters that an engineer who knows the infrastructure issues intimately, and the impact the budget presents to the resolution of the infrastructure problem is passed over as the new city manager, for an outsider has no understanding of these issues and how to resolve them. 

Linda Macia's is toast in my part of town.  I have already seen the mailer of her sitting in a pothole in Pedro Cardenes district, while potholes remain unrepaired in her district.  John Cowen and Tino Villarreal will be too busy defending themselves to worry about Linda Macias.  (Editor: John changed to Tino.  It bothered me all day and finally hit me.)

My neighbors are always asking me if I know when Lopez will open its roasted chicken counter.  I tell them I do not know and there are conflicting accounts of problems with the city.  It may seem stupid, but the idea of a 3-minute drive for a nice take-out dinner matters to people.

SCHEDULE

My goal today is to finish the latest mandamus to be filed with the Texas Supreme Court.  The issue is Judge Terrell refusing to rule on the Plea to the Jurisdiction.

Judge Terrell was warned that his order of assignment clearly gave him authority to hear all matters related to the recusal.  I handed him the order of assignment and he ignored it.  I warned him on the record that he had a duty to find he had jurisdiction in the case before proceeding.

"Not only may a reviewing court assess jurisdiction for the first time on appeal, but all courts bear the affirmative obligation “to ascertain that subject matter jurisdiction exists regardless of whether the parties have questioned it.” In re United Servs. Auto. Ass’n, 307 S.W.3d 299, 306 (Tex.2010) (quoting Univ. of Tex. Sw. Med. Ctr. at Dall. v. Loutzenhiser, 140 S.W.3d 351, 358 (Tex.2004)).

Judge Terrell is a retired senior judge.  He would have you believe he did not understand simple law.  No, his acts were willful.  The law is basic; no judge can proceed in any case until on their own they find they have jurisdiction in the case.  No motion is required. 

Assuming I get the mandamus filed by this evening, I will then ask the Commission on Judicial Conduct to suspend him as a visiting judge. We are not dealing with a ruling which can be debated, we are dealing with the most basic and fundamental duty of all judges: insure you have jurisdiction in the case before you proceed.

By Monday Jackson Walker will have my demand letter for the ADA violation.  It was willful on the part of Andrew Schafer.  He knew there could be no Zoom hearings, and he did it anyway.  The federal court of appeals has made known in Title II ADA violations, damages are available if the act was willful.

Further under Tennessee v. Lane judges can be held accountable along with court for accommodation violates.  Judge Woerner gave me the accommodation concerning my hearing impairment, but then Judge Terrell took it away with an ex parte communication with Andrew Schafer of Jackson Walker. 

Heather Scott who answers to John Cowen, Will Treviño and Alan Guard was warned to take her approval off of the Schafer draft order, and she refused.  The order was highly edited by Judge Terrell, but kept the finding he considered all argument, to include that of Andrew Schafer who appeared via Zoom in violation of the Judge Woerner ADA accommodation order. 

On Monday the entire city commission will get the demand letter under the ADA which is also going to the Texas Municipal League. John Cowen can no longer keep the entire city commission from voting on settlement. 

ONE-MILLION-DOLLAR DEMAND BEING MADE ON ALAN GUARD, CITY OF BROWNSVILLE AND JOHN COWEN FOR VIOLATION OF AN ADA ORDER

 At the last hearing I learned the city hid from me the Texas Municipal League had taken control of the defense in this case.  The decision to conceal this fact was made by Heather Scott, and city attorney Will Treviño.  As the two in charge, no one else can be blamed.  Their conduct is in clear violation of Texas law.

I am beyond bored teaching this quacks basic law.  They do not know it, because they do not practice law.  They use their law license to obstruct with impunity.

But bonding companies have a way of shutting down lawyers like Heather Scott and Will Treviño. 

They do not represent the Texas Municipal League Risk Pool.  The TML Risk Pool needs to know acting city manager Alan Guard willfully violated the ADA order which protects me from zoom hearings.

See Order:

AFTER THE HEARING ANDREW SCHAFER SUBMITTED AN ORDER MOSTLY REJECTED BY JUDGE TERRELL AS NOT REFLECTIVE OF HIS RULING

Healther Scott was asked to withdraw her approval of the order, as false.  She claims she was unopposed to the enforcement of the ADA Order, but still signed off on the draft order.  It says the court considered the "arguments of the parties."  This would be a violation of the ADA order, because Andrew Schafer appeared via Zoom, after seeking permission to appear via Zoom, ex parte.

I could not hear at least half of what Schafer said.  Healther Scott and Will Treviño knew this and nonetheless bound the city to an ex parte act, 

This is on Alan Guard.  He knew he was recommended as the new city manager because he was reliable to turn a blind eye to the corruption of the legal department.

Think about this, someone from a very small town, with no similarities to Brownsville is brought in as an assistant city manager and then promoted to city manager as the best candidate for the job.  Best if the job is as a puppet.

Doroteo Garci was hands down the most qualified.  As a city engineer, he knows intimately the infrastructure problems facing Brownsville and the demands on the budget.  Doroteo is under the supervision of the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.  This means any engineering questions could be subject to oversight by the TDLR.  John Cowen and his league of lemmings could never toleration such a situation. 

JUDGE TERRELLS MOSTLY REJECTED ORDER SIGNED OFF ON BY HEATHER SCOTT

Healther Scott and Will Trevino knew Judge Terrell never ruled on the Plea to the Jurisdiction.  Everyone was informed of Judge Terrell's entry into the docket which clearly stated he did not rule on the Plea to the Jurisdiction.  If Heather Scott is not relying on a corrupt judge, she has no argument. Will Treviño is the city attorney because John Cowen can rely on his support even if it means ignoring the law.

Judge Terrell chose to consider the city pleadings filed during the hearing, with no notice to me. He chose to ignore the clear evidence the city's pleading was filed 30 minutes into the hearing, with no opportunity for me to address anything in the pleadings.  It is standard practice that if counsel files anything before the hearing they bring it to court and provide opposing counsel copies and notice of the filing.  Heather Scott knows better, but you cannot win when you follow the rules.

THE TEXAS MUNICIPAL LEAGUE DEMAND

The city is going to have to explain why it is giving the City Manager job to Alan Guard, after violating the ADA order and exposing the city to more litigation.

The law is not on my side as to suing the Texas Municipal League over their practice of hiring unethical attorneys to protect their assets. But it is not foreclosed either.  So, I will make a separate demand on the TML for damages related to their policy of turning a blind eye to the counsel they retain knowing they use unethical tactics to win. 

THE LATEST MANDAMUS WILL BE FILED ON THURSDAY OR SOONER

It will be guided by three Texas Supreme Court cases, all won by me.  The law is so basic, it is not possible any judge can make an honest mistake. 

Until a Plea to the Jurisdiction is denied, the trial court has no jurisdiction to proceed.  Any judge who claims to not know such a simple rule, should not be allowed to act as a judge.  Judge Richard Terrell is unfit as a judge.  All of the defense counsel knew this, which is why they insisted Judge Terrell claim he denied the Plea to the Jurisdiction when in fact he did not.  

You will note at the end of the order, he removed the claim he denied to Plea to the Jurisdiction.  This is accurate, but his failure to rule on it means he had no jurisdiction to proceed with the Recusal hearing.

  “Courts always have jurisdiction to determine their own jurisdiction,” Harrell v. State, 286 S.W.3d 315, 317 (Tex. 2009) (quoting Hous. Mun. Employees Pension Sys. v. Ferrell, 248 S.W.3d 151, 158 (Tex. 2007)).

It is not disputed  “Subject matter jurisdiction is ‘essential to a court’s power to decide a case.’” City of Houston v. Rhule, 417 S.W.3d 440, 442 (Tex. 2013) (quoting Bland Indep. Sch. Dist. v. Blue, 34 S.W.3d 547, 553–54 (Tex. 2000)).  Judge Terrell clearly had no authority to move onto the Motion to Recuse until such time as he decided the Plea to the Jurisdiction.  There is one exception, a judge can authorize limited discovery if germane to the facts in the Plea to the Jurisdiction. 

 

THE GOLANIZATION OF LEBANON AND GAZA

UPDATE:  ON JUNE 22ND, ISRAEL ANNOUNCED IT WILL NOT WITHDRAW FROM SOUTHERN LEBANON

The world with the exception of Israel and the US consider the Golan Heights to be part of Syria.  In 1967 Israel took control during a 6-day war.  The world considers it a military occupied territory.

The Golan Heights allows Israel to look down on Syria, as a form of security. Given drone technology, I am not sure I see the need for Israel to control the Golan Heights. I guess an extra buffer zone never hurts.  I will note the residents of the Golan have benefitted from not being involved in Syria's bloody civil war.  

Israel will permanently occupy southern Lebanon and Gaza for security reasons, such as they occupy the Golan Heights.

THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ IS CLOSED BY IRAN OVER ISAEL'S REFUSAL TO ACCEPT THE PEACE DEAL BETWEEN THE US AND IRAN

Until Trump ends all military aid to Israel, there will be no chance for peace.  Iran cannot simply remain silent as their allies in Lebanon and Gaza remain under a policy of genocide.

This is called geopolitics.  I took several courses as an undergraduate and graduate student.  It is really coming to understand some basic concepts, and having played Risk as a kid.

My best course was by a Polish visiting professor.  He taught geopolitics.  At the time Poland was controlled by the Soviet Union.  Also, Poland had a long history of being a pawn in regional politics.  He understood geopolitics unlike as US American professor could ever understand.

 

IF A 12-YEAR-OLD WITHOUT PRODDING CAN EXPLAIN WHY WE HAVE INFLATION, ELECTED OFFICIALS BETTER BE MINDFUL OF WHAT THEIR PARENTS THINK

Last weekend three of my roommate's grandsons came to use the pool. When this happens, I will go to Walmart for a couple of packages of Ballpark Angus beef hotdogs, and a few other things.  Now I did have left over chili from the Spurs game.  It is perfect combination for the kids.

When I got back, I explained to them how much more expensive the Angus hotdogs are.  The 12-year-old says to me it is because of President Trump.  I did explain how the screw worm is impacting the price of anything with beef.

We know how this works.  The kids are shopping with mom, and mom tells them everything has gotten so expensive and then blames Trump.  The kids are told they cannot have what they want.

Are we building an entire generation of voters who will blame the Republicans for inflation?

 

WHY DOROTEO NEVER HAD A CHANCE FOR CITY MANAGER: THE BLOGGERS HAVE IT ALL WRONG

As an engineer Doroteo is highly regulated by the state of Texas.  If he were to continue the dirty work of John Cowen and the city commission, he could see his engineering license under attack.

John Cowen could never tolerate as a city manage under such scrutiny by the state.

The claim Doroteo was denied the position because of his in laws is just ridiculous.  In terms of qualification, he is as qualified as Alan Guard if not significantly more qualified.  The reason is not complex.  Doroteo as an engineer is subject to significant oversight by the state of Texas.

The problem with the bloggers is they cannot think outside their very small box of nonsense. 

On this issue Mr. Vendetta, his self-given modicum, calling John Cowen and other city commissioners Comrade shows a level of petty childlike mentality which should make anyone with a minimum education to move on from whatever he is saying.

If he wants to use the Comrade insult, maybe he can apply it to Mayor Mamdani in NYC who is the polar opposite of John Cowen.  And not that facts matter, more and more NYer's are embracing Mamdani as a real NYer.  Ed Koch was the last mayor so connected to the people.

A CALL FOR HELP

Is the city blocking the Lopez on Boca Chica from opening their chicken kitchen.  Like HEB's it will sell chicken.  It has been complete for months but has not opened.

Multiple sources have told me Lopez is in a spat with the city and cannot get the permits needed to open.

If this is true, we need to develop the story as yet another abuse by the code office.

 

ALAN GUARD AS CITY MANAGER, FIT IF YOU NEED A YES MAN

I am taking a break from working on my suit against the city.

First let's parse John Cowens meaningless words.

"He understands where the City is today, where we are headed, and what needs to be done. We must remain focused on responsible growth, excellent public service, and meeting the needs of our residents, and he understands those priorities firsthand.”

What needs to be done according to John Cowen is, the city should not enforce code violations leaving residents with no remedy when a contractor damages their home.

This according to John Cowen will promote excellent public service, while meeting the needs of the residents of Brownsville."

John Cowen wanted a weak city manager who will go along with his lies, disinformation and the settling of personal scores.

AFTER CONSULTATION WITH THE TEXAS ETHICS COMMISSION, I WILL FILE A FORMAL COMPLAINT AGAINST ALAN GUARD.

Consultation with the Texas Ethics Commission does not mean they are telling me anyone was done anything wrong.  It is merely to make sure how I go about the filing of the complaint, but with no reference as to the validity of my complaint. 

Understand according to counsel for Omar Ochoa, Alan Guard has the ability to settle my claim without consultation with the city commission.  Alan Guard has refused to authorize settlement because it would displease John Cowen.  Alan Guard sacrificed the reputation of the city and his own name to keep John Cowen happy so he could secure the position of city manager.

ALAN GUARD AND IN FACT JOHN COWEN ARE BEING NAMED IN AN ADA VIOLATION

In October 2025, Judge Woerner signed an order accommodating my hearing impairment by not allowing for Zoom hearings.  I cannot hear via Zoom. The order is not disputed.

On the 15th of June we had a hearing.  Andrew Schafer appeared for FTL Finance, accused of financial fraud by giving finance money to Texas Lone Star with whom I had no contract.  Texas Lone Star took the money and then abandoned the project before they were finished.  I am seeking criminal indictment of both for financial fraud, and wire fraud.

Andrew Schafer in an ex parte communication sought to appear via Zoom.  Judge Terrell granted the ex parte request.  He will now face the Commission on Judicial Conduct for hearing from FTL in an ex parte communication. I secured an ethics violation against a Hidalgo County judge for similar ex parte communications.

I learned of the ex parte order once we appeared in court.  I begged the court to stay the proceedings on jurisdiction issues so I could go back to the Texas Supreme Court.  I can say in less than a handful of cases has a trial judge refused to defer to the Texas Supreme Court. I personally thought Judge Terrell was very nice, but I understand his style.  He allows counsel to lie to him under the guise of allowing everyone to create a record, he will not actually consider. Being nice to the parties is a form of gaslighting.  I saw through it and tried to find a solution but could not. i knew it was hopeless when Judge Terrell chalked up Judge Woerner's wrongful orders setting hearing by submission by saying "sometimes judges just get things wrong."  Well nope.  When the ruling is clearly wrong, the US Supreme Court and Texas Court of Criminal Appeals both allow for recusal as a matter of law.

THE ADA ISSUE

I could not hear Andrew Schafer through his Zoom appearance. At least once, but maybe twice I heard him lie to the court.  It was a verifiable lie.  The Texas Supreme Court docket sheet speaks the truth.  Judge Terrell did not care he was being lied to his face.

Counsel for Texas Lone Star lied when he told Judge Terrell I filed a Motion to Recuse Judge McDonald.  It never happened and the record clearly shows Judge McDonald recused himself over my objection.  Judge Terrell just smiled and showed no concern again he was being lied to his face.

When a judge just smiles after being told he has been lied to his face, he is dangerous to the administration of justice.  He has an ethical duty to report both to the State Bar but will not.

CITY MANAGER ALAN GUARD REMAINS SILENT AFTER HEATHER SCOTT ASKS JUDGE TERRELL TO SIGN AN ORDER WHICH VIOLATES THE ADA ACCOMMODATION, WHICH INCORPORATES PLEADINGS FILED BY THE CITY WELL AFTER THE HEARING WAS COMMENCED, AND WHICH CLEARLY DOES NOT REFLECT THE DOCKET ENTRY MADE BY JUDGE TERRELL

On his first day on the job, we know full well why John Cowen wanted Alan Guard as the city manager.

If Guard thinks he is going to get away with violating my rights under an ADA Accommodation Order, he is dilutional.

Heather Scott for Omar Ochoa says she is Unopposed to enforcement of the ADA Accommodation.  She lies because she thinks I am stupid.

This is how Heather Scott works.  She cannot compete with me on the law, so she gets desperately unethical.

Imagine this: Heather Scott is holding a gun to the heads of the people yelling " I'm defending you; I am defending you."

Well it does not work that way: saying "I am defending you" does not overcome the fact you are in fact holding a gun to the heads of the people.

In this case while saying she is unopposed to enforcement of the ADA Order, she has signed off on a falsified order concerning the June 15th hearing, which violates the ADA Order.

This is exactly the kind of lawyer John Cowen loves.  Someone with zero regard for the law or the facts.

Can you image how he handles legal issues in his private business.

TEXAS LONE STAR AC OWNER JORGE RENDON WILL SUPPORT RUNNING ROUGHSHOD OVER DISABLED VETERAN'S RIGHTS AS PROTECTED BY COURT ORDER AND THE AMERICAN WITH DISABILITIES ACT, IT IF MEANS GETTING AWAY WITH ILLEGALLY ACCEPTING MONEY FROM FTL FINANCE AND LEAVING THE HOMEOWNER'S HOME WITH A FIRE HAZARD

His lawyers keep on saying they want to settle, but they lie at every turn, while their actions clearly show they are just trying to delay until they can get a corrupt ruling.

I am so done.  Jorge Rendon through his attorney is opposed to enforcement of the ADA Order signed by judge Woerner.  What kind of disreputable businessperson opposes enforcement of an ADA Order which protects a disabled veteran? Answer: Jorge Rendon.  He is angry and will destroy his own business.

He cannot endlessly ignore his lawyers disreputable conduct and then claim to be the victim. He should have fired them when they defaulted the lawsuit, and I had to give the bonding company extra time to file an answer.

He has had more than adequate time to hire a law firm not paid for by the bonding company.  He has not because he is being told they will take me down while the law be damned. 

His lawyer on June 15th, Auturo Lena, looked judge Terrell in the face and said I recused Judge McDonald.  There is not an ounce of truth to this.  It was a pathetic attempt to make me look bad.  Judge Terrell could not care even once the record clearly showed Lena lied to him.

 

EDDIE TREVINO AND ADELA GARZA LEARNED THIS THE HARDWAY, IS JOHN COWEN NEXT? 

 

STRAIT OF GIBRALTAR V. STRAIT OF HORMUZ

Iran has taught every anti-Western nation how to stop world commerce.

The Strait of Gibraltar is significantly narrower than the Strait of Hormuz.  At its narrowest point ferries cross between Europe to North Africa. in 34 minutes.

        Narrowest point: About 14.2 km (8.8 miles) between Point Marroquí in Spain and Point Cires in Morocco Wikipedia+1.

• Western opening: Around 26–27 miles (43–43 km) between the capes of Trafalgar (north) and Spartel (south) Britannica+1.

• Eastern opening: About 14 miles (23 km) between the Pillars of Heracles — the Rock of Gibraltar to the north and Mount Hacho (near Ceuta) or Jebel Moussa to the south 

• 
  
  THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ IS A LOT WIDER

• The Strait of Hormuz is approximately 35 to 60 miles (55 to 95 km) wide. 

• Nearly everything which comes out of the Suez Canal heads out to the Atlantic via Gibraltar. 

• This ship traffic is significant when compared to Hormuz.

• SO, WHAT HAPPENS IF AN ANTI-WESTERN ALLIANCE CHOOSES TO TARGET THE STRAIT OF GIBRALTAR 

• There needs to be an Iron Dome over Gibraltar.  There needs to be a strong navy defense.  It will take very little to close the Strait of Gibraltar with a military strike.  The impact to maritime services will be significant as everyone will have to go the long war around with the Mediterranean being closed. 

THIS IS WHAT IRAN TAUGHT THE ENTIRE ANI-WESTERN ALLIANCE

 

 DOES ADELA GARZA HAVE A MAIL-BALLOT PROBLEM?  - OF COURSE MARIO SAENZ TRIED TO MAKE YOU BELIEVE IT WAS JJ DE LEON WITH A MAIL-BALLOT PROBLEM 

This case shows the problem with the system.  The Court of Criminal Appeals bars Ken Paxton from investigating.  It is up to Saenz to ask Paxton for help. Like that is going to happen.

It does not matter mail ballots did not decide the election.  If we do not raise our concerns based on the evidence, then we empower candidates in the next election to use mail-ballots to manipulate the election.

ADELA GARZA LOST EARLY VOTING AND ELECTION DAY VOTING BY LARGE MARGINS, BUT WON THE MAIL BALLOTS

By the numbers

Adela Garza wins mail-ballots    261 mail-ballots, 60%

JJ De Leon                                    177 mail-ballots, 40%

Adela Garza loses early voting and election day by a large margin

                                                EARLY VOTE        FINAL VOTE

ADELA GARZA                    1674    45.66%         1978    43.84%

JJ DE LEON    Winner -       1992    54.34%         2534     56.16%

It can all be innocent.  But at a minimum it raises a yellow flag.

I GROW BORED WITH THE LOCAL LEADERS WITH MONEY WHO WILL NEVER SPEND A PENNY DEFENDING THE INTEGRITY OF OUR SYSTEM

It will not cost much for any Cameron County resident to request the mail-ballots to be inspected for fraud.

If we let this pass, it becomes a pass for all unethical candidates come November.  You can bet the farm the BISD election will be fraught with mail-ballot fraud if the candidates believe they can get away with it.
