Raising Campaign Cash: State Representative Dennis Paul (voucher money)

Dennis Paul isn't exactly a money making machine when it comes to raising campaign cash. 

In his last financial report Paul raised $34,606, spent $21,461, and has $26,554 cash on hand. He still maintains an outstanding loan amount of $111,000. For a State House race $34,606 is a loser but Paul is in a safe district. Paul could be caught with giving a 18 year old a loaded assault weapon to shoot up a bunch of children and he will still be elected.

$1025 came from three individuals. $33,529 came from PAC money including $2500 from the Charter Schools Now PAC. As much as Paul kisses the ass of the NRA he has not received any money from any gun nut organization. 

BTW. Paul has scrubbed his website of any mention of any gun nut organizations. Luckily what is posted on the internet, stays on the internet.

The state of CCISD school safety. Will your kids be safe? It will cost you to find out.

The Coward of District 129

Well on one hand thanks to League City Chamber of Commerce for doing the job the cowards of our State Legislature refuse to do, having a discussion about school safety. On the other hand if you are concerned about how CCISD will be addressing an 18 year old with a military rifle, body armor, and high capacity clips attacking your kids school and playground you will have to pay for it.

The cost is $35 for non members and will probably not include any discussion about gun safety, or how permit less carry affects our safety at schools, malls, churches, etc. The three law enforcement officers from Galveston County and Texas Rangers presenters are all NRA republicans and will die protecting the guns that have been used to kill kids. CCISD will be represented by the Director of Safe and Secure Schools.

Other districts around Houston has had open discussions about gun safety to give parents the sad, truthful, facts about the easy access to guns and the challenge to law enforcement to keep us safe not only in school but in church, concerts, parades, etc. Some of these ugly facts include:

• Anyone can carry loaded assault weapons in public 
• Police cannot question anyone who is simply carrying a loaded assault weapon
• To carry a loaded assault weapon in public requires no training or a license
• 18 year olds can still buy an assault weapon and ammunition
• Anyone can buy body armor and dress up like GI Joe
• Anyone can buy a silencer to muffle the sound of shooting screaming kids
• Nothing has changed to make your school safer from those who easily obtain assault weapons

This event is on July 20, 2022 and appropriately being held in a church where those who refuse to address gun violence can pray for forgiveness as they walk down the path to hell.

Texas leads the nation again.....in mass shootings.

If you are moving to Texas you might want to know this...

Out of 31 mass shootings across the country Texas leads the nation with 8. These include shootings in El Paso, Uvalde, Santa Fe, Austin, Sutherland Springs, Odessa, and Killeen, twice. 142 Texans were killed and 191 wounded. 

Five of these shootings have occurred under the leadership of Greg Abbott. After the latest shooting in Uvalde killing 19 children and 2 teachers, Abbott and the other republicans stopped giving "thoughts and prayers" for fear of being mocked for simply repeating "thoughts and prayers" like they did after Santa Fe and Sutherland Springs, and Odessa, and Killeen, and El Paso.

After the shooting in Santa Fe Lt Governor Dan Patrick vowed to put metal detectors into schools. He never did. In memory of the victims of Santa Fe Greg Abbott signed a bill to allow anyone to carry a loaded assault rifle in public without a license or training. He was proud to have named Texas as a "Sanctuary City" for guns signing seven bills including open carry and allowing the purchase of silencers. None of the parents who lost children at Santa Fe were invited to the signing ceremony.

Texas is leading the nation once again in guns, mass shootings, high electricity rates, high home prices, high home insurance costs, skyrocketing college tuition, and high property taxes. #NoPlaceButTexas

Clear Lake Chamber of Commerce to host Congressman Brian Babin and Randy Weber. Come say hello!

What a great opportunity to actually see what Congressman Brian Babin and Randy Weber look like! After a year in seclusion Babin and Weber will be speaking at the monthly meeting of the Clear Lake Chamber of Commerce at 11:00 PM Wednesday, June 29 at the Clear Lake Hilton.

Tickets are no longer available but anyone can welcome Babin and Weber and thank them for their continued devotion to the NRA, guns, and the right to carry loaded assault weapons in public!

Much like a Texas cicada, Babin and Weber will emerge for a short time, make a lot of noise, then craw back in the hole they came from. Most probably other NRA elected officials will be there like Money Mayes Middleton, Little Baby Briscoe Cain, and Dennis the NRA Bitch Paul.

Come on out!!!

Hooray! Gun violence is over! A FAQ on the gun safety bill of 2022.

Let's give credit where credit is due. The gun safety bill of 2022 does something. It gives the NRA bitches of the Republican Party an opportunity to look as if they did something. They didn't. Here is a simple to understand FAQ on what you and your family can expect from the new gun bill:

• Can 18 year olds still buy an assault weapon? Yes.
• Can 18 year olds still buy high capacity ammunition clips, body armor, and gun silencers? Yes.
• Does the bill create Red Flag laws? No. It only provides funds to states that implement Red Flag laws. Will Texas create a Red Flag law? No. Aint going to happen.
• Does the bill ban high capacity ammunition clips, armor piercing bullets, body armor, or military style assault weapons? No.
• Does the bill provide funding for safer schools. Yes.
• Will the bill provide protection for those who worship in churches? No.
• Will the bill provide protection for those who attend concerts? No.
• Will the bill provide protection for those who shop at Walmart? No.
• Will the bill provide protection for those who dance at night clubs? No.
• Will the bill provide protection for those who work at a job? No.
• Will the bill end the open carry of loaded assault rifles in public? No.
• Is this bill the start of other bills that will address the gun violence in our country that has killed children at school? LOL. You are kidding, right?

It's something but it doesn't address the problem of unlimited access to guns. There will be another mass shooting. Might not be today or tomorrow but it will happen. It may not happen to you or your family, or your friends, or your community, but it will happen because this bill does not address the real problem.

As I have said before, if you thought the slaughter of 19 children would change the minds of the NRA bitches of the Republican Party, you have forgotten the 20 kids in Sandy Hook.

Friendswood attacks a decorated Marine as part of their 4th of July celebration

What did you expect from a city that voted overwhelmingly for Donald trump?

Friendswood has a great 4th of July parade every year and each year they pick a Grand Marshal. This year that honor went to Haley Carter a decorated Marine Veteran, a Navy Academy graduate, former goalie for the Houston Dash, Lifetime Girl Scout, and according to the City of Friendswood:

Her personal military decorations include the Defense Meritorious Service Medal and the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal (w/ Gold Star in Lieu of Second Award).

And yet just days after receiving this honor she has voluntarily stepped down due to threats to her family and herself. Yep. This is Friendswood. Turns out Haley is also the Chair of the City of Houston Commission Against Gun Violence.

The City will not replace Haley and they shouldn't. The trash of Friendswood doesn't deserve Haley or a parade celebrating our freedom after this display of stupidity. This year's event theme is "Freedom for One & All". Maybe the City should cancel the parade until the citizens learn what Freedom for One and All really means.

According to the Houston Press this all started with someone named Jesse Kelly:

It all started with Jesse Kelly, a former Marine, failed Arizona congressional candidate, and radio host on 950 KPRC. He is also, in no particular order, a school shooting skeptic, an anti-vaxxer, thinks trans people are “filth,” and has gleefully (if tacitly) encouraged violence against the left many, many times. He has built a career on being as reactionary right wing as possible.

These threats will continue until someone gets their ass sued. Maybe Haley will do it.

This simple tweet pretty much sums up the "gun" bill

As I have said in the past, if you thought the republicans would finally do something about gun safety in this country after the death of 19 little Mexican kids in Uvalde, then you forgot about what they did after 20 little white kids died in Sandy Hook.

What idiot allowed carrying loaded assault weapons in the public?

Senator Charles "Dick Pic" Schwertner from Georgetown.

Texas Senator Charles Schwertner was involved in a dick pic scandal at the University of Texas. According to Fox News (yes, Fox even covered it)

Schwertner allegedly texted the student, “I just really want to f--- you,”  and sent her a photo of what appeared to be his genitals in the shower. The image does not show his face, officials said, and the student never responded to the message.

According to the Houston Chronicle it seems that someone else had access to Schwertner's cell phone and encryption app as well as a pic of Schwertner's dick. That anonymous person sent the dick pic. How they obtained a pic of Schwertner's dick while he was in the shower is still unknown. But I digress.....

Schwertner sponsored the permit less carry bill allowing anyone to walk in public, free of harassment from law enforcement, with loaded assault weapons which includes wannabe GI Joes in full body armor, cartel members, and drug dealers. My State Representative Dennis Paul co-sponsored the bill.

What kind of idiot thinks this is safe? If you saw someone dressed like a cartel member walking down your street you can call the police but they cannot do anything. They can't ask if they are licensed to carry, because they do not have to have a license to carry. They can't ask if they are felons or otherwise not allowed to carry that weapon. They only time they can take action is when it is too late.

BTW. Schweriners wife filed for divorce.

We visited State Representative Dennis Paul at his home to discuss gun safety

Don't get your hopes up. Paul got wind of our event and left the house but not before calling HPD and the Harris County Constables which were very professional, offered an escort if needed, and provided information to keep our event safe and legal.

About 25 of us went to Paul's house in House District 129 to encourage him to DO SOMETHING. In a letter we left we said:

We are calling on you to DO SOMETHING to curb gun violence in our state. The time for thoughts and prayers is over. It is time for significant legislative action. We urge you to encourage Governor Abbott to call a special session to address gun violence immediately and in time for opening of our schools for the upcoming school year.

Paul is what is called an NRA bitch. He would walk around the voting locations wearing his stupid looking NRA hat as if it would get him more votes. His votes for every gun nut bill has put our kids, parents, teachers, and law enforcement at risk.

You have co-sponsored many of the gun bills during the 2021 session including open carry, permitless carry, and permitting the ownership of silencers with no support from law enforcement. You not only have put our children, and the public at risk, you have also made it more dangerous for our police to do their already dangerous jobs. You have put their everyones lives in danger and this must come to an end.

Enough is enough. Thanks to KHOU for reporting on this event. You can see the entire segment here. We are in the 2nd half of the coverage. We left pictures of the kids and teachers killed in Uvalde for him to remember what he is partially responsible for.

A plan to get assault weapons off the street

There has to be a change in the way we think about guns. They are not toys. We, especially elected officials, shouldn't play with them or cook bacon on the barrel. We shouldn't be posing with them or taking selfies with them. And we need assault weapons off the street. NOW.

We should allow people to buy assault weapons and automatic weapons and have them transferred to a gun range for safe storage. The owner is free to shoot it there, store it there, store their ammo there but they will never be allowed to leave with the gun or bring it home. If they want to move, then transfer it to another gun range. These guns should never be in the public again.

For those with these weapons already we should have a buy back program, paid for by they gun industry. Those who want to give up their assault weapons can then buy a gun that is better for home security. Those who want to keep their assault weapons will have a time period to arrange and pay for storage at a gun range. And those who are caught with an illegal weapon or illegal ammo after this timeframe will face a mandatory 3 years in prison.

There is no other usage for an assault weapon besides shooting them for fun or killing people. It is useless for hunting. It is a very poor choice for home protection. So let them shoot. Let them own. 

But keep them off the ***damn street.

The math doesn't add up for republican school safety proposals

I said it after the Sante Fe murders. The math just doesn't add up. Lt Governor Dan Patrick suggested metal detectors for schools.

Get your slide rules out and lets do the math. Lets assume each school will need at least 1 metal detector. There are over 9300 public schools and 1200 charter schools in Texas. Each metal detector costs $4000 (not including the training, periodic calibration, and maintenance). So..

1x10500x$4000= $42,000,000 for just 1 detector per school. Assuming we average a total of 3 per school and you have a $126 Million price tag which does not include the cost of training, periodic calibration, maintenance, technical support, onsite personnel. $126 Million.

Now there are 27,848 churches in Texas that would require this brain fart of an idea to keep us safe from gun violence. There are over 600 shopping malls in Texas. So do the math then realize that this is not the answer for gun safety. As I said:

How will metal detectors in Sante Fe protect our families from a gun nut at a concert? At a church? At a night club? At a movie theatre? On the streets? Only a moron would think this is a good idea. This is nothing but a Dan Patrick gimmick as he heads into an election season with teachers lining up against him. Patrick needs to go back to school and learn some math. 

Dumbass Dan Patrick.

NASA's Luna Rendezvous Festival cancels gun auction

If anyone wanted to win the type of rifle used to kill a bunch of kids in Uvalde you will have to find another raffle/auction. According to Michelle Holland the Advisory Board Chairman of the Lunar Rendezvous Festival the auction is off.

It's as if gun ownership is a game to some.

Who is next to be shot?

I wrote this letter to the editor just a few days before the Uvalde shooting:

So far in the last 10 years they have shot and killed:

10 Blacks in New York
25 Hispanics in El Paso
49 Gays in Florida
60 Whites in Las Vegas
26 Christians in Sutherland Springs Church
11 Jews in Pittsburgh
14 Soldiers in Fort Hood
32 College students in Virginia Tech
17 Students in Stonemason Douglas High School
10 Students in Sante Fe
20 5 year olds in Sandy Hook

And 19 children in Ulvalde Texas.

And Republicans continue to block all proposed actions to curb the violence. So, who is next on their list? You?

It's time to treat your guns like your dick.

I've said this before after the last mass shooting.

Where in the flying fuck is the so called "responsible gun owners" in Texas? These cowards sat quietly while their elected officials passed open carry and then permit less carry allowing anyone, ANYONE, to carry a gun in public. Even a cartel member, a drug dealer, a GI Joe wannabe, or even a felon, can walk around in the public carrying a loaded assault weapon and the police cannot ask if they have a permit to carry or if they are even allowed to have a gun. Under Texas law the police have no rights to question a gun owner and any rights to protecting themselves from a gun nut with a gun.

So where in the flying fuck are you fucked up, chicken shit, conservatives? Years ago true conservatives believed in treating your gun like your dick:

• You don't talk about your gun
• You don't brag about your gun to others
• You don't compare your gun with others
• You don't pull out your gun unless you intend to use it
• You don't threaten anyone with your gun
• You don't display your gun
• And you don't walk around in the open, in public, fondling or playing your gun

What is next for gun ownership? What other laws will these chicken shit conservatives let the legislature pass while they sit quietly in their corner? Let 18 year olds open carry in school just in case someone comes into school with a gun? How about open carry inside the Texas Capital?

True conservatives need to quit jacking off and start speaking up.

Texas State Representative Dennis Paul digs deep to offer help to the New York shooting victims

State Representative Dennis Paul will be attending church today in preparing to offer support to the victim's families of the New York shooting.

Texas State Representative Dennis Paul has provided thoughts and prayers to the victims in the Sutherland Church shooting, the El Paso shooting, and the Fort Hood shooting. He proudly stood with other Texas officials at Santa Fe High school offering an endless supply of his own thoughts and prayers to the 10 kids killed. A total of 73 Texans lost their lives in these Texas shootings. These shootings drained Paul's supply of thoughts and prayers but he stood strong with the support of his church, St Bernadette's unlimited supply of thoughts and prayers.

Paul reached deep into his thoughts and prayers basket from his church for the 20 grade school kids shot and killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School. He went even deeper to provide thoughts and prayers to those killed in the Las Vegas shooting and the Orlando Nightclub shooting, and the high school kids at Stoneman Douglas High School.

And now on Sunday Dennis Paul will be attending mass and once again digging deep into the thoughts and prayers basket to offer to the families of the victims in the New York shooting. 10 Americans were killed in a racially motivated attack at a shopping center. Paul will be rushing his thoughts and prayers to the families right before attending the NRA convention in Houston.

After Michigan shooting TX Gov Greg Abbott calls for arming high school Seniors

Pic from OffTheGridNews

#NoPlaceButTexas

After the shooting at a Michigan high school leaving 4 students dead and 6 wounded Texas Governor Greg Abbott is now calling for arming high school seniors in order to make our school safer. According to Abbott "Students in Texas should feel safe knowing that the star football player or the President of the Student Association is carrying a loaded firearm and is ready to protect them from an active shooter."

Over the last few legislation sessions Abbott has signed a number of gun friendly laws. In 2009 Abbott supported an open carry policy allowing trained and licensed gun owners the right to carry loaded weapons in public. Last session he went even further allowing permit less carry giving any gun owner the right to open carry without training or securing a license. "The next logical step is to allow guns to be carried into schools by responsible students."

Texas has had our share of gun shootings in schools and we have taken decisive action to address this. After the Santa Fe high school shooting leaving 10 kids dead we took swift action and passed an open carry bill and a bill allowing the arming of high school teachers. We went further in allowing anyone to carry a gun and passed Permitless Carry which included gang members, drug dealers, MS13, Crips, and people who dress up like GI Joe. 

Ever since passing lax gun laws our rate of deadly shootings has skyrocketed proving our new gun laws are clearly working. "Allowing students to carry guns into the class room should give every Texan a sense of security never seen before."

Now everyone in Texas can carry a loaded gun in public! Everyone.

 Cripps. MS-13. Proud Boys. Everyone means everyone. Thank you Dennis Paul and Greg Abbott for putting guns on the street with Permitless Carry legislation.
