Civic Duty and The Note

  Little David had a problem. There weren’t enough Valentines in the packet they had bought for his 4th grade class Valentines card exchange.  
  You remember, those shoe boxes with your name on it.  We wrapped them, drew on them, or decorated them leaving a slit on top to slide in those little cards. Those cards had a mixture of sentiments. You had to think about which ones were proper for your buddies as well as the 4th grade girls.
  It’s a big deal. At that age, it’s not about love. It’s about friends and mutual recognition. Those little cards have vague little notes that make the giver and the receiver feel better. It’s amazing what a little note can do to make someone feel better. (remember that!)
   There were a few more kids in his class than there were cards in the Valentines kit, and David didn’t want to leave anyone out.  
   Mom came to the rescue with a few extra ‘grown up’ cards.  Now, there’s another problem. “Who do I give the bigger ones to? Well, there are my friends. And Lana Rolf is nice. We almost have the same birthday and she’s always nice to everyone. That was easy.”

Gazpacho! You are welcome!

Gazpacho w/Shrimp

By J.B. Blocker

   I have been craving fresh veggies. Guess my constant pushups when I want a cigarette has something to do with it. When my eat healthy gene or sensibility kicks in I have a tendency to go on auto-pilot when I grocery shop around the fresh produce section.  

  That is when the spirit of my recently passed chef mentor, the great French Master Chef Jean La Font spoke to me.

  “Gazpacho”, he whispered!

Poverty Lines in Dallas

It’s a political thing! By JB Blocker

  Some amazing statistics keep popping up that are really disturbing. It is possible that the voting for this year’s national elections will be decided by just a few large population zones. 
  The majority of impoverished voters come from Chicago, Philly, Miami, Tampa, D.C., Boston, New York, L.A., New Orleans, Houston, and yes Dallas just to name a few. 
  These cities have some commonalities that aren’t what I would call complimentary.

Note that these cities are predominantly Democratically led.

Just list the sanctuary cities and you’ll find Poverty and Excessive Crime.

Sanctuary Cities, Counties, and States

 

Hello there. 

  I am Charles Lingerfelt, and I'm running for the U. S. Congress because:

  Over 94 million people in America are without a job and Do NOT have a regular paycheck coming into the household to meet the family's needs.
  More than 7 million women have "dropped out of the work force" and are NOT even looking for employment.
  Nearly 50 million people are on Food stamps and the majority of them are "abusing" the system - because they are NOT promised any hope for the future.
  Over 66 Million people in America live in Poverty!

    

  I am a Candidate for the U. S. Congress (District 30 - Texas) to change that and bring businesses into the Southern sector of Dallas county - revitalizing the entire area and making it more conducive to a Pro growth atmosphere for business and corporations. 

   There CAN be New jobs and New positions for people who are seeking to excel and "make something Important of themselves!"
   The Status quo in Washington is NOT working on your behalf - and I am seeking to replace a Liberal in the Congress!
   I Need Your Help and I Need Your Vote in 2016. There is a 'Great wind blowing' across America for your Success and YOU Need to "Get on Board!"
   Become involved with Me and Make Yourself Successful, as I will bring New Jobs and businesses to South Dallas.
   For things to Change, YOU have got to change! For things to Get better, You have got to get Better!!!

LIZ BROWN @ BONNIE RUTH'S

Come and get your love!

League of Extra Ordinary Reviews

  I am sitting on the bench at the entry to  Bonnie Ruth’s on the sun side waiting for a friend. It’s Sunday morning and the brunch crowd has filled almost every one of the seating areas. ­­I want to sit in the garden so I tell Liz Brown that I will wait out front.

  Do you know Liz? You want to! Liz Bivona Ianace comes from the New York tradition of Vinny’s, and Anthony’s, and Joey’s. Now that’s Italian. Her bakery features a Euro Comfort flair and flavor.

  Her grandparents on both sides owned bakeries and restaurants. She was passing out menus and busing as a teenager. Miss Liz found her calling early in life.

  Liz is a hostess! A natural hostess who uses food as the lure! She is a greeter, a hugger, and she lives for smiling happy guests who come back for great food and courteous service. Her restaurant is considered the “Cheers” of Frisco. Where everybody knows your name.

  

  Couples, families, groups are coming in and out smiling in both directions. I tip my hat to the ladies and make sunny comments to young and old alike. It dawns on me! Literally and figuratively. The east facing entry is now bright and welcoming.

  This is a place where everyone goes in Frisco! I am witnessing an incredible rainbow of Frisco humanity. And they have come in colors and cultures with grandchildren, friends from churches, and couples dressed up and down.

  It’s not just that there is something for everyone. You can physically feel the warmth that comes with Sunday Brunch.

LISA HENDRICKSON and HB 554

HOW LAWS GET CHANGED

What a Texas Lady!

“Lisa Hendrickson's perfect combination of grit and intelligence now protects every other Texas holder of concealed handguns from unintended consequences. Add Lisa's grace and humility and she's a wonderful candidate for Chairman of the Denton County Republican Party. I'm most honored to support her.”

Cathie Adams  President, Texas Eagle Forum

 Joshua is 15 years old. His mother is about to teach a valuable lesson in bravery, leadership, and how the system is supposed to work.

  Over a 6 month period from Feb. 24^th to Sept. 1^st of 2015 he and his family witnessed the wheels of legislative change up close and very personally. But first he would have to watch as his mother set off alarms and gather the attention of DFW airport’s security.

  Lisa Hendrickson and her son had caught a break. The politically active mother from Denton County was taking her teenager to Washington D.C. to participate in CPAC. The Conservative Political Action Conference for 2015 featured a who’s who of the nation’s GOP leadership. It convened on the 26^th for three fully scheduled days.

  They had to really rush to catch an available flight 7 hours earlier. They scrambled to pull everything together and the family of four got to DFW where Jon (dad) and big sister Julianna had dropped them off.

  When the alarms went off at the security check point, it very quickly dawned on Lisa that her purse with a side zippered access held her hand gun!
