If you stop and think, nearly two generations have been shoveled this manure since birth. They've been raised and taught that good is evil and evil best good. Otherwise, shut-up and do what you're told. Trump can mount the largest war on evil he wants, but large scale civil unrest is the last thing he needs. Must be an awful feeling for the losers, having argued and waged hate on so many for so long. Fighting with all their might, only to discover they were dead wrong and simply stupid all along.

In our neighboring county, the Sheriff who doesn't tolerate illegal dumping not only sees the violation, but lets them know on social media of their imminent arrest. That is proactive law enforcement, and he's not begging for citizens help to find the dumpers. For whatever reason, Polk County is still in reactive mode where law enforcement is concerned... that is they might catch some crooks, but only long after they did the crime. No one YET has gone to jail for the theft of my travel trailer ( found burning on a deer lease our former Sheriff was on) or the break in of our home ( I never even got a case number from the deputy who later was promoted to detective) where cash was stolen, and they left dead fish in a bucket on the back porch ( we know who did it, just not the accomplice) which is a state game violation. In other words, this underfunded and poorly run so called law enforcement agency let's it's citizens down when justice is needed, but not delivered.

The transition period before he's sworn in worries me. More than two months for a lot of craziness to go bad. They took the beating far too well to satisfy me, Willie. No press crying out live on television, few seemed terribly upset. All three branches of government going right? Kamala, so soundly beaten that a fix couldn't possibly repair the margin. These high level "Marxist" control freaks are waving white flags? I'm not so convinced. Readers should stay aware more than most normally would. If you can hide cash...do it! Inside!. Keep nearly a full tank of gas in your car(s). Our power grid and communications has always been vulnerable. It could be compromised by "whatever" and be disastrous for everyone. Surely you'll be glad you prepared in advance and at least have that.

If you watch crash videos made in Russia, you'll notice right away the disconnect between tragedy and concern. Pedestrians steer away from the accident regardless the severity, deliberately looking away. It's been like that forever there. Here, Marxism has had enough influence to begin a similar pattern. The family unit may have stayed much the same, but everything else it seems (especially education) has been morally tortured. Just stop in at any university, park your car, and watch for 10 minutes. Count the smiles.

You mentioned Whoopi Goldberg in your last editorial. Did you know several years back her and Ted Dansen had a fling. And congratulations Willie, according to Biden you are now officially "GARBAGE" as of yesterday. Good to have you on board. It seems we have gone from deplorables to garbage.

Yes, I'm aware.  I remember it.  In a previous video, I mentioned Ted and Woopi and asked, "What on Earth was Ted Danson thinking?".

Is this isolated to the jail and/or SO or is it more expansive? What about voter records, election ballots, property records, tax records, etc, etc???

Saw where the editor used the location of the pickup accident as Lamont, How many people still know where Lamont is located? I know because when I rode the school bus L-6 in the late 1940s there was a sign on old highway 35 that read Lamont. There was still evidence of the sawmill at that time. Lamont was strictly a sawmill town. Like New Willard. Lamont was/is located on old highway 35 about a quarter mile South of Thomas Supply. Nothing of the old mill remains today that is visible.

Interesting.  Polk County History.  Same thing with Laurelia.  Laurelia was a saw mill town south of Corrigan.  The sawmill burned down, town dried up. - Editor

Sure it was predictable. At the same time though, Trump got a free campaign ad with his mouth, and Kamala got nothing. She's not very bright! People already know them both pretty well politically, If the election is corrupt again, nothing would matter anymore anyway. ABC News, and you're right, has "communist party" written all over it. Mary Bruce and Jon. Karl (don't ya love the last name) are the worst defenders of democracy on the planet. ABC should be ashamed to represent such a twisted dishonest news organization. MSNBC is little-league by comparison.

She's their candidate because she's the most likely to continue Biden's dismantling of the country. Her career has been one of hate, reckless DOJ practice, and release of dangerous criminals onto city streets. Opinions across the board tell of a hooker/stepladder approach to success in the political arena. You either love this country or hate it. Your decision can be reflected by your vote in November.

I am unfortunately the first cousin to Jeremy Gyiraszin and seeing the photos and video for the first time as I reside in Florida.

He has been nothing but trouble for as long as I know and my dad threw him out of his house as he came down trying to scam money right after my dad died. He is nothing more than white trash, an addict, alcoholic, and scam artist. If you want any additional information do not hesitate to ask as my heart goes out to the family he destroyed.

Okay, Lets face it, Biden has complained saying this and that, Along with dozens of dozens of America's civilization, I see Biden isn't a fit as a president, yet, For the last 4 years, Republicans have sat back, and took the crapshow without interfering; Interfering would make it to where certain republicans get blamed for the outfall instead of it only being left alone and these democrats having nobody to blame it on but themselves. Every single time, I've noticed if there is a person who wants to set this country right, there is ALWAYS a assassination attempt on them. The kids' family claims "He was going to try to assassinate Trump then continue on to Biden," Explain to me... If it "Wasn't a inside job", Why is it Secret Services eliminated the sniper, but yet ATF was the first person inside the building and on the floor where the kid was "killed" (I am not sure if he was spared or not, so I leave that open to discussion), ATF DEMANDED ALL paperwork to be sent to the agent that found him first before Secret Services got to that same floor, and then suddenly the agent for ATF has been said to gone AWOL? It's a bit suspicious....

Why is it that Paul Whelan (A US Former Marine) was swapped with "Journalist" Vladimir Kara-Murza, am I the only one having doubts if this "Journalist" was just a Spy? In which case, Why are we trading a Journalist for a US Former Marine (Yes, God bless our troops) but he has no use to America's future anymore, None that a spy can't overthrow anyways. I don't see a single US Former marine defeating the Russian Military if they show up at Americas' doorstep. That "Journalist" could have a LOT of critical information about everything about America, including our missile depots. Fortunately, Abbott seems to be getting ready to secede if you notice how our military went from Texas National Guard to Texas State Guard, so we may be good, but that don't change the fact Biden swapped 1 american family member with a "Simple Journalist" who could give intel and have Millions of families wiped out. Call me a realist, but exactly HOW do we know Mr Vladimir Kara-Murza wasn't a "Double espionage agent"? Could be working for China... Just think about it... And best of luck with everyone's creativity of options... The web is spun, the words said. I'd love to hear some more opinions.

I agree it was not a coordinated effort. Yet I believe the years of radical rhetoric and actions from the liberal media, entertainment and sports industry as well as the liberal leadership had a decisive impact on Thomas Crooks's psyche. Since Trump's indication that he would seek the presidency in 2015, the hate speech and hate action drums have beat reaching deafening decibels. During his presidency, such actions as Kathy Griffin's severed head and Madonna's desire to blow up the WH, coupled with the constant "Trump has to be stopped" "Trump will ruin our country," "Trump has to be kept out of the White House at all costs" and lately Biden declared "Time to put Trump in the bullseye." Thomas Crooks had been hearing this and seeing the liberal-left's vitriol since he was 11 years old. He probably grew up viewing Trump as a horrible enemy and that it would be a noble act to take him out.

To be honest, the more I look at this situation, the more I think it was very possibly a deep state job.  Probably the FBI. - Editor

I don't see much different here, than the attempts on Pres. Ford (2) and Pres. Reagan. The shooters were all nutcases, shooting others nearby as well and in this case, killing another. What democrats have done is show zero compassion for those suffering with mental illness. Biden would be a rare exception. Even the weirdo at Homeland Security requested extra security for the rally, but was denied. Don't know who in particular said no, but could be any number of jackasses with the power to do so. Trump's campaign schedule needs reconsideration, if for no other reason to keep him alive. He was spared yesterday by no more than an inch...that's chilling in itself. This was no coordinated assassination attempt. Even democrats aren't "quite" that stupid, no more so than having Lee Harvy Oswald (another nutcase) do the shooting.

I don't think it was coordinated, but things aren't adding up with Secret Service.  I think they were in no hurry to stop him (until after he got his shots off).  The FBI, CIA, DOJ, and Secret Service have become so corrupted (in favor of the dems) that I could EASILY see them delaying taking out the imminent danger.  Remember, the dems will stop at NOTHING to take out Trump. - Editor

I’ve seen a few articles in Houston media outlets about the damage our dam apparently sustained during the spring flooding, but it seems no one local is covering it. I find it especially odd how quiet TRA is being about the whole thing. I get that they probably don’t want any panic, and the situation probably doesn’t warrant it, but I would think a PSA of some sort would be in order considering the fact that they are about to drop the level of the lake three feet to facilitate repairs. Some people might want to get their boats off of lifts before they get dry-docked. Here is an interesting video on the situation in case you aren’t already following it.   I’ve enjoyed your site for years, and thank you for all you do to keep us informed of local happenings!

I had a great grandfather who worked hard all his life and lived in the midwest. He started his life in the days of horses and buckboards and lived to see man walk on the moon which in itself is pretty remarkable. During his lifetime he did transition from horse to automobile. Unfortunately though time took its toll on his capacity to drive. He scraped up both sides of his car trying to get in and out of the garage. He took out a couple of mailboxes and fortunately back in the day kids weren't overweight Nintendo playing cup cakes so they could dodge his car as he drove down the sidewalk. One day a cop pulled him over as he yet again was driving around lost. The cop called for backup and together the cops drove him and his car back to the house he shared with my Great Grandmother. They confiscated his license as at his age and in his condition he was no longer safe to drive and was an obvious danger to both himself and others. The cops weren't being mean. They weren't picking on him. They were just being responsible and protecting both my Great Grandparents and the community from the threat of an accidental catastrophic disaster. It's time to do the same with Joe Biden. He is easily confused and shouldn't be behind the wheel of a car or behind the desk of the Oval Office as he presents a clear and present danger to both himself and all humanity. Again it isn't being mean. Have a big party with mint chocolate chip ice cream and have an aid next to him to point him in the right direction. But it's time for him to go and time for a responsible adult to make that happen.

Letter from a Leftist

James Tweed

Dear Editor:

This is not about Donald Trump.  It’s not even about the sad souls seduced by him.  The insurrectionists who stormed the Capital to prevent the peaceful transfer of power were primarily guilty of being gullible.  They merely fell for the big fraud.  They did not do the defrauding.  Many have been held accountable for their actions.  Most of the ones who fooled them have not.  Yet.

I refer to Republican Party leaders who cashed in their moral courage to ride a demagogue’s coattails to power.  They have learned from their adored leader how to spew out coded calls to mob mentalities eager to vent their resentments.  I used to believe that people had to be taught to hate.  Donald taught us all you only have to invite people to hate.  Let them know it’s OK.  Normal.  Join the gang.  Have some fun.

Who would you like to hate?  It doesn’t have to be a race, religion, or immigration status.  People really want to hate “Elites.”  Who are elites?  Anyone who may know more than they do.  People want to feel like they know more science than scientists; feel more righteous than the devout.  What better leader could they have than one who tells them what they want to hear.  Someone who claims to “know more about the military than all the generals.”  That injecting bleach might cure Covid.  Forget evidence.  Forget knowledge.  Too time consuming.  Too boring.  All you have to do is what Donald does.  Just “feel” you’re right.  Personally, I’d rather lose with honesty than to win with lies.

They still call themselves something they are not: “Conservatives.”  True Conservatives value character, civility, and intelligence.  Trump-pets reward arrogance, anger, and self-delusion.

“Alternative facts” is an oxymoron.  Except in the minds of those who can’t face an uncomfortable truth.  They’re just opinions masquerading as facts.  Using partial truths is not just a way to fool others.  It’s how we fool ourselves.  If you embrace Donald, you embrace his lies and self-delusions.  You become what he is: a fraud.  You’ll make excuses, find scapegoats, and rationalizations.  But in the end, you will be a mere follower of a pathetic, narcissistic bully.  I would rather be dead than that.

If you are one of those silent conservatives standing on the sidelines who still respect the Constitution, Democracy, and the rule of law, but allow yourself to be intimidated by Trump Trolls, the death of our democracy will be on you.

How is it that you can get Port Lavaca right, but not the name of a county seat in Houston County, named for a great American in history, spelled right? Crockett, named for a hero of the Alamo, a former Congressman from Tennessee, and easily referenced on many websites. Many years ago we had a conversation waiting to check out at Lowes.

I agree with you about Maxine, Biden and the dictatorial left-liberal agenda.  Now, think about this.  Our government from the White House down to State and Local Governments as well as educational systems throughout the country are dominated by people of this ilk.   The media has been infiltrated and converted to a propaganda arm similar to a combination of Pravda and "Mad Men."  First, how did these people get into office and then fill all the agencies with low IQ but fanatic liars like this.  It appears the leftist and their minions  commit a plethora of crimes, pillage and plunder at will and face no consequences.  Even if arrested and charged, they slip through the system like slime through a sieve.  Yet, persecution of conservative opposition started decades ago.  Ruby Ridge and no DOJ person was charged with murder even though that was what happened.  Killing a mother, a child, even the family pet in cold blood and the media went silent...fast except to paint the victims as the villians.  It doesn't speak well of the segment of the U.S. population who voted these people into office and kept them there for decades.  What motivates them, ignorance?  Hand-outs? or Evil?  Probably all three, the evil know who to use the ignorant and the grifters.  So, the question is, how are these venomous creatures  removed from office. Even if the elected ranks are subdued, there is "The Evil that Lives After."  The infestations will be hiding in every nook and cranny of agencies, media, education, like roaches and fleas.,,,just waiting.

I don't know if Pedigo Park was open at this time. I do remember the Easter Morning flood. I could not even get to the church. Segno was cut off in both directions. Here is an official account of that flood:  "April 3 - 4, 1999: Easter Sunday, April 3, 1999, heavy rains led to what was, at the time, record flooding along Choates, Long King and Menard Creeks which led to severe damage in Livingston and countywide. Approximately 50 businesses were seriously damaged or destroyed and several hundred homes were flooded. Approximately 30 homes were completely destroyed. Tons of debris littered the landscape and had to be removed. Some good did come from this flood, However, because many dilapidated houses were damaged so severely they had to be torn down.  Unfortunately, there was not enough damage to warrant a Presidential declaration, and the cost of this flood fell on the city and its residents."

The creek behind Pedigo Park is rising that is why it is flooding.

My little brother Spencer James Sadler was murder on 04/17/16 on Alabama Coushatta Indian reservation... He was at his friend's house where he was beaten to death by Matthew Todd Battise... The man is still walking the streets... I have to ask why? This month will be 8 years since my brothers parents were notified... We the family need for Polk County Courts to do there job...

Let's talk about the long process it has been since we found out Spener had been killed...

Reservation investigation, people all over crime scene in and out of the house... We where told that it appeared that my little brother had been murder... FBI was part of investigation too... Is Matthew Todd Battise going before the Reservation court? Was he going to the Federal Court or State Court?
So the trial is in Polk County TX...

The first Assistant District Attorney, retired before case went trial... Then we met with second Assistant District Attorney... She appeared to  be ready to stand up for Spencer's justice to be served... However there was a trial set that ended in a mistrial... This was caused by the Assistant District Attorney not informing the defendants Attorney that a witness statement had been recanted... The mistrial happened in 2019...

Wake up Polk County, is the courts hoping that we will forget, move on, or die so that Matthew Todd Battise never has to answer for his actions on morning of April 17th, 2016...

Polk County has forgotten about a son, brother, most importantly a father to his daughter who was six at the time of his death...

Please help us get justice for Spencer James Sadler...

Democrats are defined as, the powerful/elite, blue/white collar working democrats, and all others *. Actually Willie, the powerful/elite are who you speak of. They comprise a fraction of the party, but own wealth and power. They target any below the poverty line, the masses, not individuals or businesses.   * illegals, illiterates, the clueless, ect.  Their motives are vague. Its almost as if they're a scheme, "you follow the money. I'll follow you. We'll stomp any opponents, and re-write the law."  They steal and cheat in plain sight now. They've hijacked our justice system. They've yet to benefit (at all) by convincing the good people/patriots to accept them.  Its my humble belief they'll crumple, but at the expense of every American. A billion dollars should be in the budget for the sole purpose of building prisons to house the perpetrators and conspirators. In a more perfect world, this would play-out in short order. In this screwed up world, its likely too late.

"Innocent until proven guilty," incorporated into our Constitution once meant a great deal in this country. Once the tactics of Joseph Stalin were adopted to persecute Donald Trump, even before he took office, the system has spiraled downward. Questionable charge after questionable charge was being brought. A judicial system that was once the shining example to the world now looks more like the Spanish Inquisition. Perhaps the most glaring crime is the conspiracy to destroy Donald Trump's reputation and undermine his finances. Constant persecution by magnifying every word, ancient unfounded rumors, vague accusations have found their way into the courts for spurious prosecution. It appears that through astronomical fines, unreasonable bail demands, and enormous awards to dubious accusers, they intend to drive him into bankruptcy. I see no explanation beyond a nefarious left-wing criminal collaboration within the Democratic Party to attack, divide and dismantle any and all conservative opposition. They started at the top using any means they could muster, no matter how unscrupulous.

Like I always say, the democrats don't care if they destroy the country, they don't give a rip who's life they destroy, the just thirst for power and will destroy any conservative that opposes them.  ...and the useful idiots (whom this will come back to bite) support it all. - Editor

You misspelled a word in your title. It's spelled prosecution, not persecution. Per the dictionary, prosecution is the the institution and conducting of legal proceedings against someone in respect of a criminal charge. The reason he is being prosecuted is that juries of his peers is disparate jurisdictions believe there is enough evidence he has possibly committed crimes. So they are giving him his days in court, where he can try and clear his name In the case of E Jean Carroll, he has twice been found guilty for rape and libeling, which is why he has posted a $100 million bond. And the case against the state of New York he has been found guilty of financial fraud. It's probably the same reason he can't find anyone willing to front him $500 million, not withstanding the fact he's a well known deadbeat who refuses to pay what he owes I don't know where you are getting your news, but rapist Trump's problems are of his own creation. If he had not raped or committed financial fraud or voter fraud or incited a traitors insurrection, he wouldn't be in court. You had a chance two weeks ago to pick a better candidate to run for president and now you're stuck with a deadbeat rapist who doesn't know how to tell the truth. That makes you the useful idiot, which by the way, rapist Trump loves.

Hmmmmm...

persecution /pûr″sĭ-kyoo͞′shən/
noun

The act or practice of persecuting on the basis of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or beliefs that differ from those of the persecutor. The condition of being persecuted. The act or practice of persecuting; especially, the infliction of loss, pain, or death for adherence to a particular creed or mode of worship.

What's sick is a lot of people will vote for rapist Donald Trump on Super Tuesday. This person has been convicted of rape, has a long history of racism, idolizes dictators and strong men, has threatened to turn on our allies, vows vengeance on political opponents, and only promises to be a dictator for a day if elected.  Pretty much everyone who has been associated with him has been indicted, gone to jail, owes millions in court losses or facing RICO. It's the worst run mob family in history.  Dude is a rapist and a bum. He owes $90 million to the woman he raped. He owes New York $500 million and can't afford his bond. Yet we are supposed to believe he's a great business man. That SOB went bankrupt owning casinos. How do you go bankrupt owning casinos when everyone knows the house always win?

I will try to keep this one short and sweet. Sheriff's Department is still obviously looking into this. There have been several updates on this case, but none leading anywhere.  On behalf of the Sheriff's Department, numerous people are creating false evidence. It is tying them up. If you try to sit here and make false evidence why are you doing it? The only thing I can think of is trying to get money or be in the spotlight. If you give false information, Your information will be NO help, thus you will NOT get the money. At all. You people who try creating false information, The more you create false information and post it, the more the searchers sit out there wondering if the stuff they see online is going to help them, or just give them false hope of finding her. Stop Creating false information. False Hope is No hope at all. Think about those around you before yourselves. Including Fame.

Greed of Fame and Greed of Money. Don't give fake information. Your making it harder on everyone, and just playing with their feelings. You want money?

Slander is making an oral false statement against a person. A false statement written or in print is liable.  Printing or publishing an accurate report of an event that is a public, documented record is neither liable nor slander.

There is always more to the story than what people decide to disclose to the public. Ms. Burkett was wrongfully charged when the childs biological mother, Bobbie Jo Sweeney, is the one who was doing the drugs around the child. Ms. Burkett has given the child a safe environment to live with plenty of love and attention and provides all that is needed for her. Her biological mother has since abandoned her. Make sure you paper has the whole story before you slander Ms. Burkett's reputation.

First of all, I would like to thank you for the coverage of this accident. Arthur Oldner is my dad. He had surgery to repair his right femur and another to repair the broken vertebrae in his back. He is back in Livingston now at Bradford at Brookside. He’s in a lot of pain but he’s alive thanks to being life flighted to Memorial Hermann Hospital. Thank you for giving our family so much detail in your article. I feel comfortable that we don’t have any questions as to what happened to my dad and why this accident occurred.

However, this article does make me have a lot of questions about another accident that involved my family. My son, his wife and baby and one of my daughters were going out to eat on December 7, 2022 in Sealy, TX. Charlie was driving and (like my dad) was waiting to turn left when they were hit by a welding truck traveling in the oncoming lane. Liz, my daughter-in-law, was pronounced at the scene. Charlie and his sister were both life lighted to Memorial Hermann Hospital where Charlie died early the next morning. His sister has had multiple surgeries but she’s doing well. I have custody of Charlie and Liz’s son, Jeremiah, who was in the accident but had no injuries.

We looked everywhere for information on this accident and we couldn’t find anything. Not a word. Social media, the town’s newspaper, everywhere we could think of and there was nothing. This accident happened in a small town, there was one fatality at the scene, 2 people life flighted and there was a 2 yr old baby transported by ambulance. We thought there would surely be some news about somewhere and we couldn’t find anything. My late husband was a retired HPD officer and even his friends couldn’t find out anything. So I filled out a FOA form and sent it to the Sealy Police Department. I got some photos from the scene but I was told that the body cam footage could not be released because it contained ‘sensitive information’. Also, there were no drug or alcohol tests administered to the driver of the truck. (Charlie was checked for both at the hospital.) The black box from the truck was also not checked before the truck was released back to the driver.

I guess I’m writing this to you to see if what you reported in your article, the video, photos and the drug stuff found in her truck, is all that normally reported when there is a serious accident? If so, do you have any idea why my son’s accident wasn’t reported?

Thank you again for all the information you provided our family and thank you for taking the time to read and answer this email, if you can.

Hello, I was the driver in this rollover accident. My wife, Tina Kaspers/BeBout, ended up with a broken neck. The break that she ended up with was the same kind that paralyzed Christopher Reeves (the original Superman). On January 23rd, 2024 she had surgery on the back of her neck to begin the repair process of the broken neck. Then, on 1/24/2024 she went through a second surgery through the front of her neck to finish the stability process of the neck. She had two discs that had to be removed, and two of her vertebrae are now fused together. Here it is February 1st, 2024 and tomorrow morning she gets to return home. It will be a long hard recovery process.

The article shows/mentions only that her and I was in the car during the accident. There was also two of our daughters that were in the back seat and had already been put into the ambulance before the video was taken. We were transported the the hospital in Livingston, Texas to be checked out. Everyone was fine except for my wife. She was eventually transported to Memorial Hermann Hospital in The Woodlands because of the trauma that had occured to here neck. We have been here since she was transported here on Monday 1/22/24. Because of the accident, she has lost her job and we have lost our only form of transportation.  Sincerely

It appears Miss Fani has taken a page out of Rep. Ilhan Omar's book.  Find a boyfriend and then hire him at an exorbitant salary paid for by taxpayers or some other funds she doesn't have to work for. If that breaks up marriages, so what.  The next page is "GET TRUMP " no matter what you have to do.  Ethics, honor, honesty, etc have no place in their game plan.  The next segment of the video, I cannot applaud loudly enough. The excessive use of profanity in every source of entertainment, media, conversation and even in the home is reprehensible. Children should not grow up knowing the F-bomb before they ever hear a prayer or an "Amen." Thank you so much for shining a light on this aberration rather than accepting it as the new normal..

There is nothing I appreciate more about Polk County Today than the coverage of the numerous, unbelievable vehicle accidents that happen all around us in such a small piece of Texas. It’s hard to fathom how much damage and destruction happens just in the snap of a finger some times. Today was no exception.

The coverage of these accidents gets criticized many times, but I appreciate knowing what it was that happened when all we saw from one accident was a wrecker pulling a burned car out of the tree line, and now, to know that the driver will be ok.

We were heading in to Houston for a routine appointment and had to turn around at the Trinity Bridge. We knew it was bad and beyond a minor inconvenience that we experienced but it was was even larger than we had any grasp of.

I also forward some of the stories to family who are in fire and law enforcement because it’s hard to imagine how often serious disasters happen in our piece of Texas.

Many thanks for filling us in when the going is really tough out there in the front lines. Because I’m related to first responders, the ones in your news coverage who handle the worst of the consequences are always close to my heart .

 Thank you for the kind words, Marty. - Editor

 

I woke up a bit late today, Of course, I hit snooze on my alarm. Thus I missed the bus. Oh well... I get ready anyway. My dad is working and I got no ride to school. I went to the bus stop hoping I could catch the bus being it was only 5 minutes after my usual time leaving, and unfortunately, I missed the bus, so I walked down the road. As I said, My dad was working, so I had nobody to go to for a ride. I knock on a few people's doors, with which I've interacted over time. They are all asleep, so that leaves me with 1 option. Try to catch someone going down the area and try to borrow a phone to try to call the Bus Barn to get a bus to pick me up considering MY bus should've been less than 10 minutes away. I sit there for a full hour getting drenched in my Jacket and my backpack Binder, and over 30 people in cars pass by me and don't bother helping me. I was just in a state of mind, I don't care, They most likely got much more important stuff to do. I walk back and forth down the divider road between the subdivisions, and I spot a car backing into their driveway which I am not far from. I walk down there, and sit on the edge of the property so I do not trespass, and they eventually get out of the car with an umbrella. Keep in mind that it was under 50 degrees outside, and it's pouring rain dropping the temperature even more. I ask her to stop for a couple of seconds so I can try to talk to her and possibly get her to either let me use her phone to call the bus barn or call them herself, as long as I get a ride to school, I ain't worried about it. Out of all things, She looks at me, looks away, and just walks inside uncaringly, so I continue walking, Then after that, Trial and Error trying to get people to stop again, No luck. Finally, The Elementry bus came down the road, and I fortunately knew her because she used to drive my High School bus for some time, I talked to her about what was going on, She notified the bus barn, and they told me I could get on. My appreciation to LISD Bus Barn and their drivers from 181/179 (Same bus; 184) and 179 I believe. I hitch-hiked with the Elementry kids to Timber Creek, where 179 was willing to take me to the High School.
......................................................... Reading all this, Would you have done something different if you were in that lady's shoes,  who/ looked the other direction knowing it was cold and pouring rain, Especially not knowing why the person was in front of your yard, or even how long they've been out in the cold rain? I sat there walking back and forth for around 30 additional minutes after I asked the lady to spare a few seconds of her time. Those 30 Minutes are all it takes for a person to go into Hypothermia. Those 30 Minutes are all it takes for someone to get frostbite. Those 30 minutes are all it takes to get Heat exhaustion. Those 30 Minutes are all it takes to die from heat exhaustion.  Those 30 minutes are all it takes to pass out from Hypothermia. Those 30 minutes are all it takes for a life to be lost. Over what? Just because you don't want to get out of your comfort zone to help a kid? (Who was visibly trying to go to school; I had my rain boots on, Shoes in my hand, backpack on my shoulder, and Binder around my neck and on my side. Plus an absolutely drenched Jacket)  Do me a favor people if you read this. If someone is visibly in distress, at least try to act like you give 2 flips. If you see someone trying to get your attention, It may be for a reason. On behalf of the thieves out there, Yes, watch what they do, but at least check on someone if they look like they are in distress.

Christy Peterson, I appreciate your time writing your insulting emails to Willie (Polk County Today) , Freedom of Speech. Amazing. But it's people like you who VIOLATE that phrase by finding crooks and crannies in the First Amendment to twist and turn them. I don't need any more of you Houstonians coming into Polk County and trying to rot people's minds with false accusations. Make sure you're not watching Clinton News Network (CNN) I assume you are some 3rd political party commentator as Mrs/Miss/Ms. Ava Connor said... I don't care if you're trying to push an Agenda, But if you are, MAKE SURE you get your facts straight. And I very much appreciate Willies time for blocking out the cussing because I'd skimmed through it, and I frankly wasn't ready to chew someone's arse out because of stupidity. I am tired of you Third third-party political Critics. How would you feel if we just removed Pedophile Biden, and His Son Hunter (Also a Pedophile) from Office, Removed Trump, and went back to good old fashion Monarchy, And not from Regular Political Leaders, We might as well become old Germany. At least Stupidity will be much less... I'd hope. How would you like that? You wouldn't? Exactly. It doesn't push your own agenda, so stop being selfish based on the news network you watch. News Networks are Biased. They tell lies to each other. Learn the truth from the lies, and THEN you can comment. Until then, Don't be trying to spread lies about "Trump's Pedophilia" When It's actually Biden.

Christy Peterson, wow! Does anyone actually kiss you with that toilet mouth? Your parents must be proud. First of all, if and that's a big IF, Donald Trump was anywhere on Epsteins "list", that would've been made public for the world to see. Second, where's proof of of his pedophilia? No,  Trump is not a perfect man, never claimed to be but I think he's perfect for the job to take this country back.  I will never understand people like you who are so closed minded to the fact that he loves America and all it stands for. Since when is "Make America Great Again" a bad thing? That's what the left are saying and I'm only guessing that you are of that opinion. Maybe I'm wrong but judging by your hostility towards the editor I can say it's a good guess. You should really get some help with your anger issues. By the way, his wife is not a big fat heifer and Jimi (not Jimmy, you dimwit) was a talented musician. Carry on potty mouth.

Christy Peterson
Your obsession with the wife cheating, ******* pimp, who likes to **** Epsteins 15-year-old babies amazes me! Why the **** would we have Trump leading this country who can’t even be faithful to his wife and likes to pimp out little girls for some quick *****! You are a sick man and I pray to God, you have no little granddaughters. So it’s so OK to hire porn stars and pay them off with a little quick hush money, get the **** out of here . Biden is a piece of shit and definitely not capable of the job at hand but so the **** is Trump , get his **** out of your *** OK , the room that you sit in must be so ******* miserable where  you’re at. Got Jimmy Hendrix there watching over you. What a ******* joke. I bet you have a big fat heifer for a wife. Happy 2024 election 👍🏼 and good Luck

James Tweed, speaking politically, who do you trust?  Democrats and Republicans are wings of the same bird. Neither side as a whole, cares about the American people. They are elected to represent Us, but in reality, they represent themselves. Both sides dangle shinny objects in front of us, hoping we don't see what's going on behind their back.  There was a personal video released days after Ashley Babbitt was shot on Jan. 6, it shows Ashley was not the intended target, someone that broke the window was. The male officer fired wildly into the crowd, almost hitting a police officer, but striking Ashley with the bullet. All LEO's are trained to never fire blindly into a crowd of people, yet he did. Where is the truth about that situation, both sides are burying it up, that's where it is.  You say the "2020 election wasn't stolen," I can agree with that, to a point. Time magazine published a article in February 2021, claiming that the election was "Fortified" by left wing elitist, manipulating the MSM, social media, and election laws, plus as recent events have revealed, some serious irregularities have been uncovered in several areas, over inappropriate vote counts. Was all that enough to change the election? I don't know, but what I do know, is, it's not being investigated to find the truth. Because that would be detrimental to both parties.  You say you want the truth, but you just want the pretty shinny objects dangling in front of you.

If I'd been a Biden supporter, I'd be ashamed to argue politics. The country's been dismantled by the current POS , put forth by powerful angry leaders of the far-left. Only inanimate objects fear not. They visit their misery and hate on the gullible. Steal elections? They want the world to burn. Why would an election racket raise eyebrows anymore?  "Political Letters to an Editor" should at the very least be honest and believable. Any Biden supporter would definitely struggle validating their leftist garbage and posting it on the net.

James Tweed
Dear Editor:  Who do you trust?  I’m not thinking of political leaders.  I’m referring to people.  Whether they go to church is as irrelevant as their political party.  What matters is whether they put their beliefs above evidence.  Do they put Tribe above Truth?  If they are unwilling to look at evidence, then the answer is beware.  We all choose what we believe.  But if we’re unwilling to put evidence above ourselves, we can’t even trust ourselves.  We’re all tempted to do it.  You know who I am talking about because we are related to them.  They are our friends and neighbors.  They are nice people.

Need examples?  Think of someone you know who will believe allegations from their favorite “fact” source.  But not watch testimony sworn under oath if they think it threatens their belief.  Telling lies is not against the law.  False testimony under oath is.  That’s why some people do everything they can to avoid it.  Cross-examination makes the veracity even stronger.  If it’s the truth you fear, don’t watch.

Do you know anyone who refused to watch the January 6th hearings, even if they had the opportunity?  I know lots of them.  Some even send me uncorroborated stories they find on the internet.  If it conforms to what they want to believe, they swallow it like the gospel truth.

All propogandists know if you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it.  We witness today the ease of spreading lies.  Millions believe the last presidential election was stolen based on allegations without evidence.  Joseph Goebbels once said: “The more absurd the lie, the more people will believe it.”  Q-Anon conspiracy anyone?  Voltaire wrote during the reign of terror following the French Revolution over 200 years ago: “If you can get people to believe absurdities, you can get them to commit atrocities.”  Remember January 6th.  Times may have changed.  But people haven’t.

If you have been following the evidence, you know the former president knew he lost the 2020 election while he was (and still is) telling people he didn’t.  He knows his audience. He actually has two: Those who believe what he says because they need to be lied to; and those who don’t care if it’s true because they want power.
 
Oh, you must be Phillip's brother?  I'm just guessing.  I don't believe the 2020 presidential election was legitimate.  I do believe that it was stolen.  The dim witted ocraps WILL DO ANYTHING.  There's no level that's too low for the democrat cult to sink.  They don't care who's life they ruin, they don't care if people die, they don't care if they completely wreck our country.  Their legions upon legions of cultists will follow blindly (even to the point where they think men can be women and vise versa). - Editor

However, the code does not provide any specific information regarding school buses stopping on an improved shoulder to load or unload passengers. It is advisable to check with the local authorities or school district to obtain more information on this matter.

Transp. Code Section 545.058
Driving on Improved Shoulder

Christina Morgan
I have never been so scared driving in a city in my life. I would not let my son ride the bus the whole 3 years we lived there. Law enforcement here (in my new hometown) do NOT hesitate to stop speeding. I55 should have a much slower speed limit especially when the busses drive it daily and there are numerous places people need to slow down to turn! Nobody needs to go 55 or over down this highway. It is my opinion that law enforcement never did their job the entire time I lived there! People need to start getting pulled over and officers should be parked in the turning lanes with their lights flashing and be alert of any vehicles speeding (like they do where I live now)! This could save lives!

Yes, BB. Indeed, Apparently it has to come down to it. Rick.... I have a question, Did you drive a Bus in California or the State of Texas? TXDOT WILL NOT tell the bus drivers to stop in the midst of a lane instead of a shoulder. They are supposed to pull off into the shoulder if there is one available, which there is. I have passed by the scene myself, and I have seen the pictures. They are required by law to ensure the child's safety. Times have changed since you've been a teacher, or even a bus driver. I DO NOT want some Californian coming to Texas to try and change our rules to fit A Californians mentality as it is offensive to call a Californian stupider than a box of rocks for the sake of the rocks. Hence why I am calling you a californian. I am awaiting the day Bus drivers will block the ENTIRE ROAD, or else have Police escorts just to get traffic to stop. I go into town, and there is 1 specific driver who I watch go drop kids off, and he has to sit there and wait because people run his stop lights, and the Police Department is nowhere to be found. This is all BS.  Fix your facts before you say sh*t Rick. Do everyone a favor. Don't have yourself Humiliated by a student of LISD again.

If the driver was wrong then prosecute him. BUT......why in the world is a school bus full of children stopping on a major freeway to load and unload ? This is absolutely crazy ! The school district and TXdot need to get together and come up with an alternative plan. One child lost is terrible. The next accident, and there will be one, could involve multiple fatalities. Is that what it will take to end this crazy procedure?

Rick
Mr. Dower, the bus driver stopped exactly where he/she is supposed to stop! I am a retired teacher and drove the bus many mile. I know it doesn't seem right but buses are NOT supposed to use the shoulder on a main highway. They are taught to stop in the right lane with all lights on until the students get off the bus and are clear. In fact you will fail the drivers test if you use the shoulder.  The bottom line was the semi driver was speeding and not paying attention to the road ahead. That is a long straight stretch and he could/should have seen the flashing lights in length of time to slow down or stop! Prayers to all concerned, including the semi driver, it will destroy his and many others lives for a long time.

The bus driver from what I can see, didn't even pull off on the shoulder to let kids out. How dumb does it get? This driver should face charges of child endangerment X the number of children on board. He should likewise be in county jail. If he's not liable and there's no such law in protecting the kids, then its a disgrace that there's not one. Stopping a bus in the middle of a freeway isn't a lot worse than on 1 of the 2 lanes on 59 north.

You have the most accurate report that I have seen.  Every TV report repeated that the 18-wheeler struck the Toyota from the back and then veered right.  One went so far as to say the Toyota was pushed right and hit the student.  Obviously, from the pictures, the 18-wheeler was veering right , side-swiped the Toyota and continued forward striking the student.  Only the driver will know if he was trying to pass the stopped traffic on the right shoulder or not.  Perhaps only Mary Jane knows.  Thanks for the good pictures and an accurate report.
 
P.S.  It's not relevant, but I noticed "Livingston" on the soft-side trailer cover.  I don't know if there were any IFTA stickers or not.  I wondered who owned the rig, where it was going and the cargo.

Charles Dower
Why would the school system allow a bus full of kids to stop on the freeway.  There was a emergence lane available for vehicles to pull over in to make a legal stop.  How would a bus driver commonly sit on the freeway with a small stop sign hanging on the side with vehicles going 70 to 80 mph by you and let a kid out in the emergence land?
---------------------------------------
Larry Atkinson
I really wish this story had included the number of children on the bus that had to see all this unfold.  I've seen too often that a bus will put on its red lights, kick out the stop signs, and open the door . I know it's a rat-race out there and everyone is trying to get somewhere, but bus drivers please, make sure the traffic is stopped before opening that door.

Tragedy for the student killed / hit by 18wheeler and also for those still on the bus. The driver of the 18 wheeler was red-eyed and obviously impaired DUI. I hope he's prosecuted swiftly to the full extent of the law. I'm praying and saddened for my hometown. LHS 1975

Yes, My apologies to those families who were witnessing this traumatic event, But 1 thing needs to be set straight. The Kid is a MINOR. Therefore, His name is NOT SUPPOSED TO BE RELEASED. I am TIRED of people telling his name around the entire LISD District. If DPS wants his name to be released, They will do it themselves. These Kids don't need to be telling people, because if they tell the wrong person, Then that will put them in a severely wrecking state of mind, and What are these kids gonna do when they go around because they can't get the memory out of their head because people are reminding them left and right. I was listening to the police scanner. Me and my dad were both lost for words when we heard it was a Fatality on the kids behalf, I was HOPING I'd be able to forget it, and people start spreading true/false rumors on their snapchat stories, Instagram, And any social media possible. Do you think I wake up every morning to be reminded that one of my potential classmates is now dead? Not a single wish in the world. If I did, I'd be spreading rumors too, But How do you think a First responder (Who was on scene) would feel if they kept it from their child, possibly because the child may have a mental condition already, Just to find out that the students are telling their kid lies, and the kid brings it up to their parents/guardians? How would they feel? Most likely Frustrated because Their Child's classmates are telling lies to his/her child, then in a mentally-unstable state of mind because it's a little kid who died. Remember. Check your facts before you launch lies. And always be cautious of who you tell. You NEVER know how that'll effect them.

Doc Roland, Good Grief!!!! That is what you’re concerned about from this article?  You jump on the back of a 93 year old man that was in pain physically, mentally, or both to make a point about your tax money?  The article clearly states the names of all officials involved, get in your vehicle or pick up your phone and go ask them your question directly.  That’s what someone with human decency and integrity would do.

Angie Lester
I’m sure the officers requested an autopsy to clear themselves of being accused of seeing something they did not see or their own wrongdoings, since it was a shooting plus to give pleasure to the family as well.

Doc Roland
In the State of Texas an unattended death requires an inquest and a JP who does the pronouncement of death then orders that inquest with the autopsy to discover the cause of death. For those not informed about these laws and procedures, unattended means a death that didn't occur in the presence of a Doctor or other official that can certify not only the time, but the cause of death. Since Polk County has no morgue, we contract autopsies out, usually to Beaumont ( Houston would take months to get a report and the body returned) and they don't provide those services for free... they charge our county ( Hey Willie, just for news coverage, could you find out what those charges are including the bills to the county from the first call carriers to do the transport down there and back, and then do a news article to tell us) which comes out of our taxpayer monies. In a case like this, where law enforcement witnessed the cause of death, and unfortunately had to attend that death, why are the taxpayers on the hook for a bill from another county that technically doesn't count as an unattended death, and the cause was witnessed by multiple peace officers. This makes no sense to me. If there is something in the law I haven't seen, I want someone to enlighten me. Otherwise I question the judgement of the decision of incurring this expense on the taxpayers in Polk County by our elected officials. I hope no one feels I am directing any anger to the victim, or his family. This was an extremely sad circumstance for all of them, and the officers who responded. My question is simply why these officials chose to use this path for clearing this case, for little to no reason, and little thought to the budget we fund.

I see the found and lost pets, lots of auto crashes,local organizations, etc.  Nobody forces me to read these pages, nobody shoves anything down my throat. One can pay $60.00 and read  less conservative viewpoints locally, but even at that, it won't be the Marxist extremism infecting the  Democratic Party.  3/4 of a century ago, Polk County was solidly Democratic.  Polk Countians didn't leave the Democratic Party, it left us. "Left" being the operative word.  As the Democrats marched left, we did not want to follow them over the cliff into oblivion.  I have seen the Soviet Union, I have seen how Marxism works.  It infiltrates literature, arts, education creating thought and mind control.  It progresses to undermine, disrupt, and divide.  It silences opposition with fear, fear of loss of property, fear of incarceration,  fear of incarceration, fear for their family. Those exhibiting strong,persistent vocal opposition will experience these acts in reality.  Arrests, show trials, incarceration, seizure of property, family persecuted, fines and most people do not have the funds to mount a defense.  Eventually, a totalitarian regime is in place.  Many of the "Leftist Converts" aka "Useful Idiots" are no longer  useful.  Utopia will not be their fate.

Headed by several wicked democrats in congress, they're going after the Jews, now. Why is this of no surprise?   Shades of 1930's Nazi Germany. History rears its ugly head when hate is the principle motivator.

I am new to the area and am looking for a local news source to learn about local politics, but I can see I will have to continue looking. I would like to hear information from all viewpoints of the aisle, but your extreme MAGA Republican opinion being shoved down my throat is not giving me the news. I want to be able to form my own opinion after being given all the necessary information, but you simply provide one side of politics without leaving the decision open for me to form my own opinion. I guess it doesn’t surprise me you follow and support criminals for public office.  Best wishes.

Not sure if this matters to anyone, or if law enforcement needs to know from another person, but the driver of the car was traveling at a VERY high rate of speed just before the crash.  He passed me like I was standing still, actually scared me he went by so fast.  Less than a minute later several of us were braking heavily to avoid what just happened and having a collision ourselves.  A few people had stopped to help and there seemed to be enough people on scene that I did not stay plus it didn’t seem like a good place to stop in the middle of a highway.  Anyhow, if the Sheriff’s office, or Police need to know anything I thought I would pass this along.

We need to know where the police chiefs, the sheriff, the commissioners, the mayor's, and the judges stand on gun confiscation. Do they believe in the 2nd amendment, or not. We don't need them to give a forty-five minute, circular speech, that doesn't answer the question. It's a simple Yes they support the 2nd amendment, or, No they will throw us under the bus.

I get on your page to see what had happened to my car. I did not fall asleep. I lost control of my vehicle and when I did; I did my personal best to not injure anyone or hit another vehicle. I have lost my car, broke my shoulder blade and the right side collarbone. I was awake on scene. Stayed awake till almost 4 am. You’ve tried making a story more interesting by making me look bad. My family gets on to read and they read lies. You should be an actual editor and write what happened correctly. God bless you hope you chose to do the right thing. I hope you don’t ever lose control and someone lie about you. I am a citizen of Livingston Texas and you make the town you write about look bad. I haven’t ever fell asleep behind the wheel nor will I ever put myself in that position. Everyones  life matters to me, as so does my own.

 

In an effort to help Mr. Broussard understand our frustration with the upcoming Solar Farm.
1.  Polk County is not on the Ercot Grid.
2.  The power generated by this environmental hazard will not be used in Polk County, but  150 MWac (202 MWdc) is already   contracted to  Entergy for use in the Woodlands-Spring Area.
3.  Over 2,000 Acres of fresh-air creating trees are being sacrificed as well as the livelihood of local timber workers.
4.  A tax abatement being extended to the Solar Company means others in the county have to make up the deficit to feed the tax-and-spend politicians.
5. The Climate-Change hysteria is a money-driven control mechanism fueled by leftist propaganda.
6.  No program has been put in place to dispose of the waste once the solar panels are depleted or destroyed by a tornado, hurricane or straight line winds.
These are just a few items for your perusal.
One more thing, as you liberals are so quick to label people racists, then you should refrain from making "Karen" a derogatory term to disparage Caucasians.  Checkout the real Karens, a people you probably never knew existed.  https://ethnomed.org/culture/karen/

Stanley Broussard
It is staggering the ignorance expressed in your letters to the editor. Why do you care what some one does on their private property? Seems like that is none of your damn concern or business. Perhaps it should be letters to Karens.  I heard this years ago an it is amplified in these letters. Polk County People Of Little Knowledge.  Go down to Madagorda.  You will see solar, wind, and nuclear energy facilities.   That is a socially conservative region of Texas. But at least they can read the writing on the wall.  Here is an idea, why don’t you suggest to ERCOT to provide only fossil fuel electricity.  Alternative energies bolstered the grid during peak periods this summer but, People Of Little Knowledge do not know that.  Why are y’all afraid of the future?  Run and hide.

Ugh, I hate this it's literally in my backyard I live in that ate a it was forest a beautiful forest and all of them were cut down become an eyesore.  At first, I was ignorance until my buddy from California came to visit me and saw that eyesore field and told me that it was a fire hazard his home state has many of them and was the reason wildfires and brain-dead politics there and their brain-dead voters knew that but denying and trying to convince themself that was caused by something other.  I despise Democrats little green people they're the reason why our gas prices soaring and caused food costs to go up and the cost of living to go up.  All of that's just to make little Swedish high school dropout girl happy.

Just a heads up for those who choose to defy science and real facts. The Earth's circumference is 25,000 miles, the thickness of our atmosphere is 6000 miles from surface to outer fringes. So do the math and understand that humans never have, nor ever will, have the dynamics to alter the climate. Age, time, and space on the other hand does this over hundreds of millions of years. Momentary interruptions do occur randomly (Dust Bowl 1932) and volcano activity to name a couple.The massive atmosphere quite easily disposes of any man-made airborne debris.  Climate change is a political tool the left uses to corrupt society. They have no legitimate grounds to gather support, so they harness deliberate lies and deception to motor their existence. Just like open borders is an act of humanity to support mankind.  These leftist fools seek power at the expense of the simple minded. They have little compassion for anyone but themselves.  Their brief existence appears, however, to be falling apart. People generally wise up and eventually get it.  People, thank God, are not that supid!

Steve Young, I can't say how many air-cleaning trees will be lost to this long-term environmental hazard called a solar farm, but the 1678+ Acres on Soda Loop East was timber land with a market value of $5,365,839.  according to the current CAD page.  The same company, Umbriel Land Holding LLC, also has purchased land on 2 tracts on Menard Chapel Road, and 1 on Fox Hunter Road.  The total evaluation of these properties on the tax website is over $2,350,000.  The 2 Menard Chapel tracts plus the Fox Hunter Road tract is approximately 528 Acres of timberland.  All of the properties were purchased by Umbriel from Tamarack Timber Co.  Longroad Energy is building the Solar Farm for them on the Soda Loop East tracts.  I understand that they will sell  a 150 MWac (202 MWdc) to   Entergy Company. once the project is complete.  How this will affect the timber market and those who  depend on timber in Polk County, I cannot say.  This is a copy of the Tax Abatement Agreement. https://assets.comptroller.texas.gov/open-data/ch380/0002409-Polk.pdf.
Please note, all of the tracts of land purchased by Umbriel from Tamarack are adjoining.  It covers over 2,000 acres total.

I would like to see you or maybe somebody at the Enterprise work up a story on the solar farm being built in Polk County off Richardson road, Hwy 190 East. Things like how many acres of pine forest are being destroyed, who is financing it ect. From my understanding , solar farm are very inefficient, radiate heat back into the environment, causes changes in weather patterns such as more tornados and strong thunderstorm weather events. They could very well cause more harm than good, much like the batteries required to run electric vehicles. I believe there are a bunch of rich men north of Richmond lining their pockets. Follow the money.
 
Anyone who knows me knows that I CAN'T STAND this stupid environmental movement.  All it's doing is destroying our great nation AND doing more harm that good to the earth.  Fossil fuels are the only thing that can reallistically power an economy today.  Fossil fuels ARE NOT destroying the earth and the USA is rich with our own fossil fuels that will power us for hundreds of years.  This stupid green movement is nothing but a front for marxism.  Marxism establishes itself in countries by creating bitter division between people, and stoking fear.  "We're in the middle of a climate catastrophe!" when we're NOT.  The leftist marxist deomcrats are doing all this to the USA while letting our borders be overrun by millions of people from shit hole countries all over the world.  The democrats stand shoulder to shoulder and march in lock step as they destroy the greatest, wealthiest, most free, most opportunity filled countrty in world history.  The useful idiots that blindly vote these morons into office over and over are killing us. - Editor

I believe Gaetz played the Democrats like a fine violin. Those Republicans that voted with Gaetz, were volunteers, to make the rest of the Republicans look sympathetic to the party. I don't know what the long game is here, but I think it's going to be a rough and rocky road for Democrats. At least I hope so.

I like Majorie Taylor Greene. She's honest about her principles and wants America to survive. Unfortunately, she has a lot of enemies opposing her. This no doubt would hinder her ability as Speaker. I was stuck in the middle with McCarthy. I wouldn't, however, I wouldn't have jumped ship to oust him. Eight republicans is a mere 4% of the republican slim majority, but that's what the democrats needed to shake up the house. The ability to make the crooked Biden's accountable for their illegal antics became a bit less likely yesterday. Perhaps a lot, we'll see.  The elusive eight that abandoned McCarthy and their party yesterday... they're obviously not dedicated trustworthy politicians. I have zero respect for any of them...sorry.

I got to thinking Last night, Biden is trying to take all our guns, But however, There is one thing he forgets Citizens know about; Biden's "BodyGuards" have Guns. Personal, Or Federal... How so? He tries to Take all Citizens' Guns, But the Constitution says "THESE RIGHTS CANNOT NOR WILL NOT BE INFRINGED. He tries taking guns from the Citizens of America, But how does that help Citizens? Criminals know how to make them homemade.. How does this affect them? It doesn't. They will just have a better Targeting Range.

It's sad...And funny...How this topic has become a trend at this point. Yes, I agree with you TwilaJCR. I agree with you, and Paul ("Piddle Puddle" as they call him 😂 It may be offensive, but honestly, it's funny, Sorry Paul if I make you hate me by that) about pretty much everything. Anyways, Back to the topic; "Richard Gozinya" Or shall I say "Mr.White"... Classic. I saw your videos. It's nothing but pure sympathy that you got even 4, 5, even 10 likes on your videos.You go around abusing your First Amendment Rights. MAYBE the Police Department IS Public Property, But The City of Livingston has property that IS NOT PUBLIC. You Harass the Police Department and Sheriff's Department, For what? To make yourself feel better? Do you think you're "Doing this world a Favor"? No, You're not. All your doing is contributing to a Modernised Civil War. And not in a good way. If your going to Give the Police Department a Fictitious name, then REFUSE to tell them your full name WHICH BY LAW THEY ARE REQUIRED TO DO if you are to see the Sheriff. If something happens to the Sheriff, They NEED to know who they need to question. There are dozens of people who Do/ARE named "Mr.White" in Polk County, Hundreds in the State of Texas, and Thousands in America, If not Millions/Billions. Learn to use your First Amendments CORRECTLY.

TwilaJCR
Mr. William Finklea, You are right.  All this Richard Gozinya guy is trying to do is disparage law enforcement and get someone to watch his spiteful little YouTube Channel.   Looks like most of his videos might be purloined from other sources.  I don't think he has many followers over there.  I don't know what his ultimate objective is, but I feel certain there's an ulterior motive somewhere.  Maybe he wants to "hire out" as a witness in a lawsuit 😁😁.  Judging from some of the cases emanating from DC, that might be a trend these days.

FINKLEA, WILLIAM
Yes, I agree. Sure, He was wielding A Carbon-Oxygen Compressed gun. But the thing is, if he was able to pull the weapon, that means he was a little ways away. Tell me, Exactly how do you tell the difference between a CO2 Pistol and a real firearm? it's not like you can go "Wait Wait Wait... Hold on, let me get my binoculars out of my car, I don't know if that's a real gun, or Fake." (CO2 to say the least). In that line of work, It's either Life or death in that line of work. People want to Criticize all these Cops for shooting someone who is "Practically Unarmed". Why don't Y'ALL become Cops? See how it feels? How would Y'ALL feel if you had people who liked shooting at you? Don't Criticize others if you don't know what it feels like to be in their shoes the slightest. Just because you're "Texan", Doesn't mean you're any smarter on Law enforcement. What would Y'all do if you had your life threatened? Sit there? Someone is pointing a REMOTELY POSSIBLY LETHAL Weapon at you, How do you know you're not about to be killed? If you're going to Move from Houston, Go someplace else where people don't give a sh*t on your opinions on Law Enforcement. No, Your Comment(s) Did NOT Offend me, But I help with The Sheriff's Department in a way of a First Responder's Relative. I will not tolerate some Imbecile trying to say our Law Enforcement sucks. Sure, This Law System isn't perfect, But it's pretty damn good compared to going anywhere in Houston and watching people spit on cops and get away with it

So, it wasn't a firearm, it was still a deadly weapon.  Projectiles propelled by compressed air can penetrate vulnerable areas resulting in a fatal wound.  Homicide Using an Air Weapon Benjamin Mogni, MD corresponding author* and Sarah Maines, MD†

Willie, I was wondering if you knew that Jose Luis Hernandez did NOT have a firearm. It was a CO2 pellet gun. Also out of the multiple officers on scene only 4 are alleged to have fired and PCSO deputy Boyer was the only one to fire more than once. Just interesting information missing from you "report" on the incident.

Elyssa Stynson, do your children watch movies, play video games, or search the internet? If they do, guess what, they see more death and human cruelty than you know. Kids know more about death nowadays, than parents even know what their kids know. Death is a natural occurrence, it happens to everybody. Do you shield your children from the death of a family member? Do you talk to them about death? Shielding a child from knowing or seeing death, is doing them more harm than good. You need to figure out a way to discuss death with your children, a way that you are comfortable with, so they will understand. If you are uncomfortable with it, ask yourself why.

Elyssa Stynson
You all could have gone a better way of dealing with this accident. Many kids saw the body uncovered and it scared them a lot. You must realize what kind of impact it has on kids to see a dead person laying on the road, the gore and just overall knowing that person was once alive and now dead can do a lot to not just a kid but to anyone's' mental health.
 
The deceased person does not appear on this website and the story is handled correctly.  As far as at the scene, the deceased cannot be moved until a judge shows up and files an inquest.  That's just the law.  Livingston PD did put vehicles (including fire trucks around the body to block the public's view). - Editor

 

What an all around respectful young man. He was a good friend and hard worker. Always a pleasure to be around . He will be dearly missed. My heart goes out to his mother and father I know this will be devastating to them and there family .

I figured I'd give this certain kid a shout-out. Yesterday, Tuesday, September 5, 2023, @ approximately 16:10 (4:10 PM), There was a Car fire next to a Residential area. The lady was refusing to get out of the car, Probably stuck in Shock, and the car was smoking badly from under the hood. Alex Abbott (Wayne Abbott's (Hatches Tow Truck Company) son) walked by and noticed the car smoking heavily, at this time, Me and my father were rushing to a Police call. I did not see the complete outcome, but I did see the car on fire and smoking badly. (What the rest of this story says is based on what I've been told) Alex saw the car smoking heavily, and proceeded to rush to the vehicle, and pull the resisting Lady out of the car. From what I understand, The vehicle was fully engulfed within Minutes. This Child saved this lady's life, and I see he should be recognized as a Hero and Life Saver.

"Weekend At Bernie's" when you said that, I spit coffee all over my phone. That was hilarious.  The national archives will hold the emails till Joe's diagnosis of Alzheimers comes in, that way he can't be held responsible.  The Eco-Wimps FAFO, tribal police don't play that game. I wonder if they will stand trial in front of a Indian Tribunal or a US Federal Court,  hopefully a Tribunal.

Just say you don't believe in democracy. That you don't believe in the rule of law. Just say that you don't want people that don't look like you or think like you to want the rights you enjoy. That if things don't go your way, and the facts don't fit your myopic you cannot accept that maybe you are wrong.  Just say you don't love America, because that's all you talk about. Move to China, since you like taking people's rights away and admire politicians who dream of being autocrats.  Your b-ing and moaning about Trump is tired and played out. Trump is the reason he is in legal peril. All the people who turned state evidence against him are Republican, not "deep state democrats," Hillary Clinton or the so-called Biden Crime family.  As for Hunter Biden, the special council pursuing his case was appointed during the Trump administration and was reappointed once the plea deal fell apart.  So there's no democrat conspiracy here.  America is great not because of people like you. It's great because Black people demanded that this country live up to to the ideals espoused in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.  Stick to reporting news. Quit being a crackpot.

People don't realize, They are being brainwashed, They are told one thing, that later is a lie. What I mean, Is AR stands for Armalite Rifle. Not Assault Rifle. They quit teaching Cursive in schools, School Shootings have definitely increased over the years, And people think all those are all Citizen Issues. The Government controls what we learn now. What happened to the Soldier's Creed of "I am an American Soldier. I am a warrior and a member of a team. 'I serve the people of the United States', and live the Army Values. I will always place the mission first. 'I will never accept defeat.' I will never quit. I will never leave a fallen comrade. 'I am disciplined, physically and mentally tough', trained and proficient in my warrior tasks and drills. I always maintain my arms, my equipment and myself.  I am an expert and I am a professional. I stand ready to deploy, engage, and destroy the enemies of the United States of America in close combat. "I am a guardian of freedom and the American way of life. I am an American Soldier" Exactly what happened to those? America is bowing down to its enemies at this point. Our Morale is low, Not because we have lost our wars, But because the Citizens are not aware they can remove the Shi**y "Commander in Chief" who Stole the elections. We all know he didn't win it. If you look at the statistics, There are more votes altogether than there are Citizens, Dare I mention how the Ballet Mail Carriers have been caught dumping Paper Elections for Trump? Is it just me or have they literally Hijacked the Election? Throwing away paper Election votes, Hacking and Changing Electronic Votes? Biden Stopped the oil reservoir from Canada and shut down Texas' Oil Reserves. Now, The only way to possibly get oil is to order it, And last I checked, The person who is over Oil Shipments in Canada, IS BIDEN'S BEST FRIEND. We sat with a damn chinese made balloon Above us and airborne for about a week... That I know of. Why didn't Biden shoot it down sooner?  He knew about it all Along, I am telling you. Not to mention The president has "Secretly" been selling property IN TEXAS TO THE CHINESE." He has been aware of this all along, and has even played his part in it. TREASON. THIS IS PRESIDENTIAL TREASON. How come Trump had the Wall getting started, Then all the sudden when Joe Biden takes over the wall comes to an end? Now, Back to Cursive, Knowing everything I just said, 6 or 7 years ago, Sometime while Obama was president, They completely stopped teaching Cursive, No Graduate speed in stopping, But just...Stopped. I asked my friends Who are in lower Grade Levels than me, to read 1 word out of the U.S. Constitution, While holding a Google image of it, And they still had no idea what it said. Pathetic. First they take away our Constitutional Rights, People Riot, And they are ARRESTED... ARRESTED. It is part of the Constitution. WE AS THE CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ARE ALLOWED TO OVERTURN THE GOVERNMENT AND PUT A NEW PRESIDENT IN OFFICE. Citizens DO NOT KNOW THIS ANYMORE.

Roxanne English
Good afternoon. I would like to take some time and bring just a couple things to your attention and explain what happened. We were not entrapped when they arrived on scene and my 6 year old will forever be my hero. I attached a photo because I want you to see my hero!   Wednesday morning I was driving from Northeast Arkansas to our home in Texas. A trip I have made many many times. We where about 2 hours from home when I started to get tired. I saw an exit with a shell station and a McDonald’s. I thought it best I pull over for a cat nap at a well lit area. I remember taking the exit ramp. Next it happened in flashes: I heard a loud boom. Car flipping over and stuff going everywhere. John  my 6 year old waking me up.  When I say John will forever be my hero I mean it. Everyone knows that his sweet, hard headed self keeps me on my toes.  So let me tell y’all how incredible my 6year old wild child is. As I was coming to John was pushing me saying “Mom wake up. Mom come on the car flipped over. Mom we have to get out.” The car had landed on the driver side in a creek. When I finally was kind of aware I unbuckled and pulled myself up. The lights where somehow on in the car and the air was filled with the dust from the air bags. Water was all around my feet I could see the kids where not under water so I felt for the door handle of the passenger side. My chest felt like it had been hit by a train and I couldn’t lift the door up so I found the window button and rolled it down. Praise God it still worked. I told John we have to climb out and this boy grabbed the edge of the door and jumped out like he was jumping a fence and nothing had just happened. He said “whoa there’s a lot of water give me William.” For his size it was a lot of water. Enough water that a tote filled with baby clothes started floating. I picked my 5 year old up and handed him over the edge of the car to John and he put him on the rocks where there was no water. Meanwhile I grabbed my 1 year old . I could hear John saying give me sissy “ he took her to the rocks and held her. I was having a hard time trying to pull myself up I was in excruciating pain. My son was on the side rooting me on “Come on mom you got this. You can do it. You’re almost there” when I finally made it to them John was like “follow me I can see” and we started walking up hill towards light. About half way up there was lots of thorns so the boys and I took our shirts off and used it as a path. John saw about a half sheet of particle board or partially dry rotted plywood and lifted up and we put it in front of our shirts. As we got on the board John would get the shirts and put them on the other side. We did that several times before seeing a vehicle backup and shine their lights in the direction of the car. I can’t tell you how long after we saw police lights, EMT, and not sure who else. They had flashlights, John and I where yelling but they couldn’t hear us. Before I could tell him no he took off running through the thorns as if it was nothing waving his arms and yelling we are over here. They followed him back to us with their flashlights. An officer and EMTs had to drive around to the other side of the creek where we where. We where almost to the train tracks. The officer carried my one year old and five year old up first. He came back to carry John ..and I walked slowly next to him with his flash light until we reached his vehicle at which time paramedics had arrived. They took us all to the er and we ALL received CT scans and X-RAYS. John had a few scrapes and bruising.  My 5 year old has a minor concussion, scrapes and bruising, and soreness. (He was in a lot of pain) my one year old has bruising from her car seat straps, a few scrapes and bruising in various spots and sore. My brother hauled butt to us and brought them home from the hospital because I was transported to Herman Memorial. I have a broken sternum, bruising to my left lung, various scrapes and bruises all over. Hematoma on my forehead that my kids seem to love to poke 😂. I can walk with the assistance of a walker. It’ll be a rough few weeks but I am so grateful that my kids are ok. We are truly blessed beyond measure it could have been so much worse. THANK YOU LORD FOR WATCHING OVER MY BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN!! GOD MOST CERTAINLY HAD HIS ARMS AROUND US.

Phillip Tweed, I'm glade to see you have taken both, the blue and rainbow (with the brown stripe) pills. I'm also impressed you support murdering babies, just because. Kudos to you. Hilary is still relevant as long as she keeps playing the political games, her ideology of communism is a very dangerous game to play. From your ramblings, it appears you have No idea how disastrous communism actually is, ask Ukraine, the people of North Korea, the people of Cuba about that. There are only 2 genders, and men can not get pregnant, Biology 101,  trust the science.

WTF is Paul “Piddle Puddle” Tuttle describing?   If he is so worried about men having children may I suggest his partner use a condom or he take birth control or use the morning after pill. I would suggest he seek an abortion but since he lives in Texas that is not available to him.  Hillary Clinton is not even relevant today. Why is he living in the past?  He is talking about use the power of the vote but does he not realize Texas has some of the nations’s most estrictive voting laws.  Paul Piddle Puddle Tuttle we are all dumber for seeing your thoughts in print you are awarded no points and my God have mercy on your ignorant soul.  PT aka Willie’s DADDY

 

It is sickening what is happening here in America, groups of people pushing for the sexualization of children as young as 2, men can get pregnant, it's a hate crime for misgendering someone, and, the blatant miscarriage of justice. So many things that go against the natural order of things, and the things this country was built on, are going by the wayside for a utopian fantasy, and power/control over the American citizens.  The US is becoming a single party governmental system (Communism), and most people don't even realize it, or know what it is. "The Right to Vote" is a joke, we might not even get the chance to vote this coming November 2024, think about the war in Ukraine, and then think about the War Powers Act. That alone can stop the elections, not to mention National Security, or a natural disaster. The American, and Polk County citizens, need to stop looking down, open their eyes, and decide what side of history they want to be on, it's not left or right, red or blue, it's right or wrong, good vs evil.  A couple of websites to help gain some insight into the happening of the way our society is going. Pay attention to some of the names associated with the ideologies put forth.
