TRUMP'S NEW WELCOME TO IMMIGRANTS 

I think in short order our place in the world order will be lost for a long time.  Trump's order barring the DOJ from investigating speech opens the door to terrorists openly planning attacks on the people.

The House remains the People's House.  We need to see if all the Republicans submit to Trump or save their own position.

 

ALL OF THESE EXECUTIVE ORDERS ARE NOT GOING TO END WELL

The notice the 25% tariffs against Canada and Mexico will go into effect February 1, 2025, will not set well with our neighbors.

The House is still the people's house.  Trump has put into peril the future of all Republicans who serve in border districts.  If the tariffs go into effect border communities will be hit hard.

I think Trump is acting on his ego.  The Republicans in the House are not happy, except the MAGA Republicans. Trump's decision to not pivot to the center endangers many Republicans. 

I think Trump just believes if he brings down many governments' agencies, he will become and icon. 

MY SITUATION

My hearing in my left ear is nearly totally lost.  Because I cannot eat most things, I am eating mashed up carrots, potatoes and applesauce.

The pain unbearable. Three hours sleep is making things worse.

The problem is quite simple.  We depend on community care providers.  Some are good some are not.

In the field of ENTs, they will not admit you to a hospital because it eats into their profits.  They now do most of their procedures in the office.  If they have to go to the hospital, it means really early or really late so as to not interfere with their office practice. 

I would not wish this pain on anyone.  So, tomorrow morning I will give Valley region one last chance and if they cannot help me, I will be driven to the VA in SA.

This the type of waste at the VA I am talking about. If they get rid of the waste, they can improve services.

DEMOCRATS SHAME DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING WITH IDENTITY POLITICS

Identity politics goes against everything Dr. King believed in. When I was visiting various universities to speak to then gay and lesbian groups a common theme I would hear. "I want to be a pediatrician."  I would ask "what is keeping you from being a pediatrician?"

I would tell them that gay millionaires were being used to fight for gay rights.  I would tell them I had a very successful law practice and every judge, and every opposing counsel know exactly who I am. 

This was a myth put out there by self-anointed leaders who were taking their money.  Then I would hear, "I have no right to be in the hospital room with my partner." I would respond, "where are you hearing this garbage?" 

I would bring with me the various documents they needed to execute to obtain nearly the same rights of every other married couple.  I say nearly because federal programs did not recognize gay couples.

My ex and I had a medical power attorney.  During both of his hospitalizations. I worked with the doctors.

Nothing in the law barred use from disposing of our estate as we pleased. My entire estate is disposed the second various beneficiaries can present my death certificate.  There will be no probate. 

I would explain to them until they gave themselves self-worth, they would not have any sense of self-worth. 

Yes, identity politics were needed in a form which allowed us to seek our rights.  But given the advances, it is too much. I am personally annoyed there is an entire month for Gay Pride but only one day for veterans, or those who died in service. The people do not understand why this is.

Here is the deal, I do not care which group you represent, if you struggle to care for your family then you should be united with every other group with the same problem.  But you are not because we divide ourselves by subgroups within divisive identity groups. 

THE DEMOCRATS HAVE ABOLISHED DR. KING'S DREAM OF BEING JUDGED ON THE CONTENT OF OUR CHARACTER, BY EMBRACING IDENTITY POLITICS

TO BE CLEAR, TODAY IS DR. KING'S DAY. I WILL NOT SOIL IT WITH POLITICS OR  EVENTS THE DAYS EVENTS.

 

 

THE DEMOCRATS ARE NOWHERE TO BE FOUND

On Tuesday the Texas Legislature will be in full Session.  If what is happening in other states is an indicator for the future, then Texas must amend the constitution to allow for the people through a petition to amend the constitution.  In every Republican controlled state where this was done to restore Roe v. Wade, Roe was reinstated.  It failed in Florida because they were asking for more than Roe provided.

The bottom line is the Democrats seem to fear the idea of the people having a final say on any issue.  This has been and remains the core problem with the Democrats.

If anyone can lead the Democrats through the demise it is Congressman Vicent Gonzalez.  He is quiet and unassuming. He knows if the Democrats try to primary him out of office, the Republicans will take his seat.  Right now, because of the fires in California, the Republicans could lose 9 seats held in California.  The 9 Republicans in California are being asked to favor an aide Bill which forces California to effectively surrender its sovereignty.  

Now some are saying Democrats in California will lose seats if they do not vote for California to surrender it sovereignty. The people will see the Republicans are the one's voting against California's sovereignty. 

An issue facing Texas which the Democrats refuse to address, is Texas part of paying for Medicaid. I am working with multiple families who are being bill for the part Medicaid does not cover.  The bills will never be pay.  Do not wait on the Democrats to help you.  They do not even know you exist.  I know because I live in the trenches with the people.  You will never find me at some's watering hole.

We know for a fact in only 5 counties in the entire US did wages grow faster than inflation.  That means in all the other counties people's wages did not crow as fast as inflation.  

People care about kitchen table issues. The Democrats refuse to even address kitchen table issues. They are too busy telling us come Monday our democracy will face the biggest challenge since the founding of our Republic.

Identity politics are not toxic. Also, as this graphic shows it is not new. 

You can make headway in identity politics so long as your lead issues are kitchen table issues. 

IN A UNANIMOUS DECISION THE SUPREME COURT SHUTS DOWN TIKTOK 

 Donald Trump indicated he wanted to save TikTok. With the Supreme Court finding a national security justification to shut it down, Trump will not be able to withdraw the government's request to force TikTok to sell.   If he does, then people will say he is soft on National Security. 

ME:

The new medicine has me feeling hung over.  I had a very disturbed sleep, but at one point actually slept 5 hours.  I will be very productive today.  I think I can complete 6 motions and other matters related to the John..

JOHN DOE UPDATE AND SAENZ IMPOSSIBLE POSITION AND WHY MY HEALTH HAS ME AWAKE

The reality is Saenz only move is to dismiss all charges in the interest of justice based on the recusal hearing last week.  No real court is going to tolerate the visiting judge telling me to sit down and "I be bet he heard that." Also, the telling to John Doe he must only speak in English will not hold up.   Like I said, I do not know the regional administrative judge Missy Medary but based on a previous complaint, I think she will find a solution but not using the method I prefer.  If you know me, you know I am about the process so long as it follows a rule.  

Independent of the mess the visiting judge made of this case, we have a bigger problem.  Judge Estela Chavez -Vasquez indicated John Doe represents himself and not Louis Sorola. The record is now clear.  But in the 138th none of the visiting judges nor Judge Garcia recognize John Doe's right to representation.  This means in the 138th, he must continue to accept Sorola represents him, while in the county court he represents himself.  The case cannot survive with this conflict.

I have so many things prepared but have to amend them based on the changing facts. The best fact at this time is in the county court at law John Doe represents himself, whereas in the 138th Louis Sorola. Lawrence Rabb, Korina Barraza and Albert Rodriguez represent John Doe.

  

The lead case on this issue is Lott v. State, 874 S.W.2d 687 (1994) "Appellant chose to represent himself at trial and on appeal. The trial court fully admonished appellant of the dangers and disadvantages of self-representation prior to trial and prior to this appeal. See U.S. Const. VI and XIV Amendments; Tex. *688 Const. Art. I, § 10; Faretta v. California, 422 U.S. 806, 95 S. Ct. 2525, 45 L. Ed. 2d 562 (1975); Hawkins v. State, 613 S.W.2d 720 (Tex.Crim.App.1981).

I did not make this mess, Sorola, Saenz and Judge Garcia did.  Dismissal in the interest of justice allows Saenz a rational basis to dismiss the cases, while leaving in place the pending complaints.  How they respond will not concern me.

My heath is not good.  I am going to Congressman Gonzalez for emergency help.  The problem is not my doctor or the community care doctor who restored my hearing.  The problem is the VA has decided the veterans cannot receive immediate care.

I am so protective of my VA PCP, today I am submitting a letter of accommodation explaining how he worked very hard to have me seen by the specialist in community.  From the time he asked to speak with the community care specialist, to the time my hearing was restored was less than 24 hours. This merits a letter of accommodation.  This coming from me will mean a lot because they are accustomed to me attacking the lack of care being offered by the doctors.

VETERANS IN THE LRGV HAVE NO EMERGENCY CARE WHEN THE SPECIALIST REALLY DO NOT WORK THE HOSPTALS

Now if you have a heart attack you will get admitted.  But if you have an ENT problem, they will not even call the specialist on duty because they know they will not show up. The in-clinic procedure area is a cash cow, and the specialist are not going to lose a day of in-clinic procedures which will net them easily $50,000. 

It is totally unacceptable community care for an MRI is March. The VA has the newest model at the clinic but will not do MRI's on people with implants.  My spinal stimulator has an MRI mode, and it does not matter to the VA.  My brain shunt model informs the doctors it is designed to avoid problems with the MRI.  The information cards I keep with me at all times, provide this information. I was told today even in the case of some Pacemakers; they cannot do an MRI.  Hospitals do the MRI's based on the information cards I have.  

No VA doctor has the right to admit a veteran on an emergency basis. In my case the ENT doctor must do the admission.  My doctor was told an admission is not required.

I cannot sleep and I am in horrific pain. I am not waiting until March.

Today, because I know how to work the system. I will ask Congressman Gonzalez for emergency services. 

FOR THE FIRST TIME I NOW AGREE WE NEED A FULL TIME VA HOSPITAL AND MY CASE WILL MAKE THE POINT.

My VA PCP is working so hard to help me, but they shoot him down at every turn.  An emergency of my kind does not merit treatment because there is no VA hospital.

If we had a VA hospital the specialist would admit me, and an emergency MRI would be provided. The surgery will follow. 

I AM BEING TOLD, AND NOT BECAUSE MY VA PCP AGREES THIS IS RIGHT: I MUST GO UNTIL MARCH WITH NO SLEEP OR RELIEF FROM THE PAIN. 

If my VA PCP had any power on the issue, I would be in the hospital receiving pain relief.

I have to crawl out of bed, because if I use my arm it puts too much pressure on my neck which magnifies to pain to the point I cry out. 

I would also be on some form of IV to induce sleep. I have now failed at all medicines.

But because we rely on private hospitals and not a VA hospital I must suffer in pain and not sleep. 

ELON MUSK - TO HELL WITH YOUR SAFETY

 Elon Musk and everyone involved in choosing Boca Chica for Starbase, knew or should have known the dangers the location presented. Rocket flights from California and Florida have one thing in common.  They have a long journey over the Pacific or Atlantic.

The launch from Boca Chica involves crossing over Florida and a host of Caribbean Islands.  It was but for the grace of God, the debris did not hit a commercial airliner, after the capsule exploded.

In law, Musk can no longer claim he did not know.  We have an airline pilot describing falling debris close to his plane.  Musk is telling the islanders where the debris landed to not pick it up and to call his company. 

Audio

The FAA needs to permanently close Starbase in Brownsville.  Every airline and country involved or potentially involved need to sue SpaceX for an injunction against future flights.

The Trump Administration is crazy if they think they can protect Elon Musk.  Now it is an international crisis.
