Large Stash of Lego Guns Found in Homes Next to Tyler Elementary Schools

May 29th, 2013

lego-gunA terrible observation has recently been uncovered in multiple homes across the street from several elementary schools in Tyler Texas.

After doing a citizen survey at homes next to elementary schools the Tylertxdirectory.com team of blogger journalists found that some of these homes had anywhere from 5 – 20 miniature lego guns inside.

When we asked Sally Jones to explain herself about the stash of guns she has collected over the years, who lives across the street from Andy Woods Elementary, she had this to say, “I didn’t do anything wrong. I was just buying cute little lego sets I thought my grandchildren would like to play with when they come over to visit. You can take the guns to your burning cause I don’t want any trouble.”

With the recent news of the boy who brought his miniature lego gun on a school bus I think it is important that we round up all these lego guns near elementary schools to prevent the kind of trauma that these kids on the school bus were inflicted with upon seeing the lego gun.

You may think that a fake gun the size of a quarter is harmless and that a student should not be suspended from school because of it but you have to draw the line somewhere.

tommy-gunHow is a kid or teacher to know if that little plastic gun that must be held with delicate precision is a real miniature gun that can fire live .000000009 mm ammunition or just something harmless that you snap into a lego man’s plastic grip.

Wake up east Texas, we probably have hundreds of these little guns per square mile surrounding all of our children.

If you thought assault rifles were a problem that does not hold a candle to the arsenal of lego guns we must seek out and destroy.

Lets work together to pile these things up high at the loop and 155 next to Jack O’ Diamonds and burn these things. Maybe we can get Toys R’ Us to donate a free lego guy to each family that brings in their lego gun for the massive plastic bonfire.

 

Municipal Services Bureau Is a Bloated Bureaucracy That Doesn’t Belong in Texas

July 23rd, 2012

It’s ironic that a state as proud of its liberty and individualism as Texas would give so much cart blanch authority to as bloated, hateful, and inhuman organization as the MSB, “a private corporation.” Not strong enough? I despise this company with the burning heat of a thousand suns. Still unclear? If it were possible to see a picture of the staff’s personalities and people skills, they’d look like the picture of Dorian Grey.  I’ll have to consult my priest, but I’m not sure it’s possible for anyone who’s worked at the MSP, (particularly in the absurdly named “Customer support” capacity), to escape the grasp of purgatory, let alone cross St. Peter’s threshold and actually see the Celestial city!

Ok deep breaths…                 I recently received word that my license was suspended for failing to pay another hundred dollars for a ticket I received a year and a half ago for failing to realize that my driver’s license had expired. The dead line for the payment was a mere seven days prior and they had already suspended my license! The great part is I had not received a single notification prior to the suspension.  When I “consulted” with one of their “experts,” she insisted that their computer showed the notices had in fact gone out. “What good is that” I asked “IF I NEVER RECEIVED THEM?

Ok where do we go from here?” I asked. “Well, sir” she persisted, “It’s important for you to understand that we did in fact send you the notices.” “No, it’s not” I replied, “because, I never received them.”  When I volunteered to pay she informed me that there would be a forty eight hour turnaround before the payment actually cleared, followed by another seven day turnaround before my license could be reinstated, at which time I’ll need to visit the DPS office where I’ll presumably be treated to yet another round of fleecing. To top it all off, when I attempted to make a payment, I was informed that she could not or would not; (whichever) take a credit card payment. I would have to call back and pay through the automated service.

I consider myself an upstanding citizen. I live here legally, I own a small property, I pay my bills, and I’ve never been to jail for any reason. But I’ve just been informed that a faceless bureaucracy can charge perennially me for a very minor past traffic offence, without adequately informing me they’ve done so, and then suspend my driving privileges when I fail to pay. I should say as well that I’ve spoken to numerous other people who’ve had precisely the same experience, so simply looking at a computer screen that may or may not say they’ve attempted to inform me is not evidence enough.   If there are any state senators, or officials who happen to be reading this, or if my readers know any personally, please, please, please this “law,” needs to be repealed! It’s an absolute mess! It’s the kind of law I’d expect to come from a wing of the bloated federal government, like the IRS or the KGB, not my home state of Texas!

Mark Zuckerberg’s Letter to Potential Investors

May 17th, 2012

Who said silly can’t be used in business writing?

On the evening of the Facebook IPO, Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg published the following letter to potential investors:

Dear Potential Investor:

For years, you’ve wasted your time on Facebook. Now here’s your chance to waste your money on it, too.

Tomorrow is Facebook’s IPO, and I know what some of you are thinking. How will Facebook be any different from the dot-com bubble of the early 2000’s?

For one thing, those bad dot-com stocks were all speculation and hype, and weren’t based on real businesses. Facebook, on the other hand, is based on a solid foundation of angry birds and imaginary sheep.

Second, Facebook is the most successful social network in the world, enabling millions to share information of no interest with people they barely know.

Third, every time someone clicks on a Facebook ad, Facebook makes money. And while no one has ever done this on purpose, millions have done it by mistake while drunk. We totally stole this idea from iTunes.

Finally, if you invest in Facebook, you’ll be far from alone. As a result of using Facebook for the past few years, over 900 million people in the world have suffered mild to moderate brain damage, impairing their ability to make reasoned judgments. These will be your fellow Facebook investors.

With your help, if all goes as planned tomorrow, Facebook’s IPO will net $100 billion. To put that number in context, it would take JP Morgan four or five trades to lose that much money.

One last thing: what will, I, Mark Zuckerberg, do with the $18 billion I’m expected to earn from Facebook’s IPO? Well, I’m considering buying Greece, but that would still leave me with $18 billion. LOL.

Friend me,

Mark

1991 by Barack Obama’s then-literary agency, Acton & Dystel Shows Obama Born in Kenya

May 17th, 2012

This was just released today by Breitbart news website that shows Barack Obama our president was born in Kenya. Acton & Dystel was President Obama’s literary agent and produced this promotional pamphlet on him.

It is assumed him and several others would have to approve of the accuracy of the pamphlet before producing it.

It could be that Barack was lying then instead of now. Either way he has obviously been tweaking his background when it suits his ambitions.

Right now I feel like we have a total fraud and clown in the Whitehouse.

Tyler Texas Conservative Voter Guide 2012 – Grassroots America We The People

May 16th, 2012

Printer friendly conservative voter guide – click here

Update: GAWTP endorsed Ted Cruz as the Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Kay Bailey Hutchinson ….by a vote of 7 of 9 Board Members

Thanks for requesting information about voter information and voter guides for the Smith County Primary election on May 29th …and for Early Voting which began Monday, May 14th and runs through Friday, May 25th.

 

The link below will allow you to get as comprehensive as you wish to get (the first two sub-sites listed) ….or it can give you a quick, handy guide (the third sub-site) which very concisely shows you the 11-races for which GAWTP has issued endorsements (based on the very high bar of requiring agreement by at least of 7 of the 9 Board members).

 

Click on www.gawtp.com and go to the second tab at the top entitled 2012 One Stop Voter Information. There you can drop down and bring up the following recommended sub-sites:

 

The Races

Then go down and click on Races. Use this section to get a comprehensive bio for each candidate for which GAWTP has endorsed and why GAWTP made the endorsements

 

Conservative Voter Guides

Here you will find six (6) conservative voter guides. Pick one or more to get a flavor of the most conservative candidates in each race

 

Handy Reference

Here you will get brief but pertinent information about early voting dates, times and locations as well as a handy guide on the 11-races for which the Board of Directors of GAWTP has issued endorsements

 

Please note, GAWTP has not yet made an endorsement for the Republican primary race for U.S. Senator because the GAWTP sponsored Senate Debate/Forum will take place Wednesday evening, May 16th  from 6:30 until 8:00 PM at Lakeview Church of the Nazarene, and we wish to wait for the conclusion of this debate before making a decision on an endorsement. Following the debate GAWTP is expected to vote on if indeed we wish to make an endorsement, and, if so, for whom the Board feels would be the best candidate to take the nomination. Incidentally, please attend this debate if at all possible. There is no doubt this will be a very informative forum. Next to the Presidency, the various races around the country for Senate nominations are the important races facing the voters of this (still) great country! Committed attendees to the Debate/Forum are: Lela Pittenger, Ted Cruz, Glenn Addison, Craig James and Tom Leppert (the staff of David Dewhurst has been notified, but we’ve not yet received word on whether or not he will be in attendance). If indeed we make an endorsement of a candidate at the conclusion of the Debate, I will forward that information to each after the vote Wednesday evening.

 

Hope this information helps, and please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me if you have questions or need additional information. Remember it’s very important to vote, but even more important than simply voting is the need to be an informed voter!
