Mariner Energy Gulf Oil Rig Explodes
What started as a safety precaution in May is now a job killer that is 3 months old with no new plan. The government has approved 4 permits in 3 months where they usually approve 10 or more a month. Looks like we better get used to more foreign oil because it will be at least 2 more years before we get to drill for own again. Loving all this "change."

Due to the lack of teaching critical thinking in our schools, people will believe almost anything. The Washington Post babbled again today about Obama inheriting a huge deficit from Bush. Amazingly enough … a lot of people swallow this nonsense. So once more, a short civics lesson. Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress, and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democratic Party. They controlled the budget process for FY 2008 and FY 2009, as well as FY 2010 and FY 2011. In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush – somewhat belatedly – got tough on spending increases. For FY 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the FY 2009 budgets. And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete FY 2009. Let's remember what the deficits looked like during that period. If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the FY 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets. If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself. In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit that I voted for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th.
I don't see how they can say they are not making any money off utilities and water. My bill sure hasn't gone down try paying a $500.00 elertric bill and tell me they aren't making a profit.
Wow !! I would have thought the city was up a couple of mil.. instead of down, the way they have been spending money.... I guess tax rates will have to go up now...
What a load of crap.
no wonder the city is harassing its citizens with the ticket brigade and watching the railroad crossings to ticket the people there too, the city needs the revenue. in an age of saving energy, the city of liberty is bemoaning the fact that people are "cutting back", no pat on the back from our officials for doing something good, albeit because of the economic slow down, oh well we cant win for losing.
TRY THIS ON FOR SIZE, 1 BEDROOM APARTMENT NOW PICTURE THIS THE WHOLE APARTMENT IS 3 ROOM. NOBODY BUT ME AN I PAY 185.00 TO 150.00 EVERY MONTH.WHEN I AM GONE SAME COST. NOW TELL HOW THEY CAN CHARGE SOMEONE THAT IS DISABLE AN IN A WHEELCHAIR.ON FIXED INCOME AN IS A SENIOR CITZEN.BUT WHAT DO WE DO PAY IT OR SIT IN DARK.NOW ANSWER THAT FOR ME.WHO EVER BACK THE MONKEY IS ON THIS WEEK?
Ask Bozo how many of the long time city employees are no longer with the city.He's discovered he can save some money by letting go MANY loyal employees that have seen the city through many a hardship be it flood or hurricane just because he can save money by hiring contract workers or part time people he doesn't have to provide benefits for.Let's see how these part time people and contract help see the city through our next disaster.Now I'm sure if you ask him he will have some lame excuse to tell you,but it won't be the truth.I hear many more are about to be let go or told to retire.I hope the next disaster takes him with it.
Someone needs to inform Mr. Broz that the eletric and water departments are not supposed to operate at a profit and thus supplement the general operations of the city. Years ago when all the stuff hit the fan, the city was getting huge transfers from the utilities. By not having taxes support the general operations of the city, they are putting that burden on the backs of utility users and not those with huge land holdings. Whether or not he knows how to read a financial statement, well time will tell. But the city manager and city council are in the mindset to borrow and spend, borrow and spend.
I agree about hiring the out of town contract workers instead of supporting the citizens of Liberty with jobs, who even though they do get benefits, considering what the wages city workers make, I can't imagine it being cheaper to pay a $50/hr contractor instead of a $10-$15/hr. person. Wouldn't you think keeping the money in Liberty, to be spent in Liberty, would help at least in a small way, rather than flat sending it straight out of town? I thought the City of Liberty took care of the City.... apparently no longer. We were always a city to be proud of...no longer. I am appalled. This person is destroying the core of our town. I wonder do the Mayor and Council actually know, approve of and care what Broz is doing? Citizens beware. We take the basic conveniences for granted. Water and Electricity. Who will service them when Broz gets rid of the majority of the people and relies on contract people? In a crisis contractors will take care of their own before us. We will be on a wait your turn basis. God Help Us.
: AGAIN....LOOK AT WHAT BROZ MAKES COMPARED TO PAST MANAGERS OF LIBERTY AND LOOK AT THE RAISES THAT UPPER MANAGEMENT GOT LAST YEAR....LOWER THEY'RE SALERIES TO HELP SAVE JOBS. TELL BROZ TO BUY HIS OWN CAR LIKE EVERYONE ELSE HAS TO DO.
I know! Let's ask Carl. He's awesome, he's brilliant..He's the best. I just know he'll find a solution for all the "little people in the lovely Liberty Texas."
I could move my house over the city limits line and pay 1/2 the electrical bill I am paying...how can this be? Why not let Energy take over our electrical service? I also had no idea the city was making a profit off of our electrical and water bill!!!! I guess they need some way to pay for the purchase of the old Chevrolet building...the one they took off the tax rolls..the same one that has become a eyesore in downtown Liberty!!!
You must understand. Every time a new city council person is elected, the Council must build a new building to put their names on the plaque inside the building.
I would also like to know why Gary Broz' wife is driving the City owned car, and is she insured for it.
Do you think all of these wonderful contractors are going to sit at city hall or remain in town during a natural disaster such as Rita or Ike and get out in the elements immediately after to get the city back on track??? NOPE!!!! The City of Liberty needs to be self sustaining and not rely on outside sources. We are setting ourselves for FAILURE!!!
Yes, Carl is a good person, but what does he actually do as Mayor....I never see him over there. Do we need a Mayor? And what about the council member Potetz and the front of his business??? It looks like trash! Has Robbie not been doing his job or does he just not want to upset a council member???
Everyone is griping about the new city manager, Broz. Has anyone stopped to think about the people that brought him in from the outside? Every city election we keep returning the same people into power that bring these outsiders in because "they" think he/she could do some good. You need to start at the top to help the bottom. You keep bringing in the people who could care less if Liberty is here in the next five years (after the contract expires) and expect them to keep the city alive...That is the crap. VOTE out city council!
Tell the city manager welcome to the club, tighten his budget and hold on for dear life it could get worse. No more taxes
While we are talking about the city here let's talk about the park splash pad.It is a state law that a person maintaining it has to be certified by the state of Texas.This is not being done here in Liberty.The splash pad has been operated all this summer by unqualified people.One that is allowed to work,operate equiptment,drive city trucks etc. all while under the influence of drugs.This is known by his immediate supervisor who just tells him to go chill in the office where he takes a nap on the table all with his supervisors permission and while on the clock.This isn't the first time this has happened.Same man was given paid days off when he came to work so high he couldn't maintain his lane while driving.Anybody have kids come down with a bad case of diarrhea this summer after being in the park water?Or complain because their eyes were burning after the water was treated with chemicals while kids were in the water? And while we are at it does the city employee living on Centennial get paid while he is mowing his yard or hanging out at WalMart with his family? It is a real shame that so many of the dependable workers are being told to retire.They don't want to retire.They are being forced to.This is wrong.They are hard workers,reliable workers and now their city is allowing this to happen to them.
In regards to overgrown weeds in front of Potetz,the weeds in the ditch on main street belong to the state.The weeds in the ditches on Lakeland belong to the city of Liberty.I don't think being a member of city council requires Mr.Potetz to mow for the state or the city.On the other hand with the way the city manager is getting rid of workers we may be seeing city council out mowing and doing other city realted jobs because there isn't going to be anybody left.

The Americans would have jobs to make money if the jobs were not being given to forieners. They are being given the job so the boss man doesn't have to pay as much. ALL of our boarders need to be closed and the non Americans sent back home. Atleast until America is back on our feet. If the goverment wants to help a country they need to help ours. If they want to help fix a poor country they need to fix Mexico.
18 Citations Issued for Ignoring Railroad Crossing Arms
Just out of curiosity, how many accidents have occurred at crossings in Liberty in the past few years? Enough to justify this kind of attention? Let's see. A single engine running back and forth for four hours, disrupting traffic at several crossings, so that eight law enforcement officers could issue 18 citations. Now, throw in the court costs to process them and collect the fines. And the primary justification in the article is so that the railroad schedule is not jeopardized? Come on now. By the way, the correct word is 'dangerous', not 'dangers'.
Well preventing one death justifies it for me.Just saying...
Why not have the city police start giving tickets for parking the wrong direction on our city streets or parking in the yards? Or better yet tickets for abandoned{not running} cars sitting like a used car lot on people's property? I also have observed many people turning into the Jefferson Square shopping center with a sign clearly not allowing a turn there.
For the poster commenting on people parking in THEIR yards, or having non running vehicles in THEIR yards. I have one thing to say. It's THEIR yard, on YOUR property YOU have the RIGHT to have whatever YOU want. I'm sure you have a nice large garage to keep your vehicle in all cozy warm, some of us don't have that luxury. Some of us fix our own, even restore our own. So who are YOU to say that WE can't do what WE want to on OUR own property?
It is evident that there are problems with crossing rail road crossings when the arms are down; however, this is just another way for the city or state to generate more revenue by issuing citations. The city, county, and state police are what governement use to generate income. I called 911 the other day because someone threatened my life at a covenience store and no officer ever showed up. However, when I removed myself from the situation and proceeded onto Interstate 10 on the way to work there were 7 officers in a 8 mile stretch running radar. It is evident to me that the police officers motto of protect and serve is incorrect and should be changed to serve local government and generate revenue for the state. This little sting operation is another example of a ploy by local law enforcement to generate 18 tickets in 4 hours. Just how many fatalities and collisions have occurred in Liberty County along these same RR crossings. Don't you think the police resources and time could have been used for a better purpose.
The ticket brigade? I would love to see the liberty police out writing tickets to some of the people who can't be bothered by stop signs or lights, I personally challenge you to drive through liberty without seeing a traffic violation. And I bet you won't see one officer working, But if you pass the pd you will find them! Maybe we could save money by triming budget of those who dont perform instead of those who do!!!

i caught obama's interview with nbc and heard the references to his religion and his birth certificate, and i thought how stupid he must think the so called 5 percent in the country who keep these issues going are, and how he really holds his tounge, when he really would love to publicaly call then out on it. then today i saw a truck here in liberty that had a bumper sticker on it that asks "where's the birth certificate?". how stupid can one get? pretty damn stupid i guess. to hate that he's in office so much, that you abdicate common decency, and reduce ones self to attachment to lies , and rumor as truth, and misinformation as a criteria for forming a political viewpoint, then you are a anti american, wouldnt you think? to believe lies as truth, to promote misinformation as fact, then you are fostering a anti american spirit. there is no hope for people like that, they are the ones that breed trouble, and division, and hate. id bet their home lives are pepperd with alcholism, violence,inter-familial squables, and control freaks. the truck that had the bumper sticker on it was headed to kenefick, i wasnt surprised...
Henry James Gilfillian 1927-2010
Rest In Peace Mr.G. The bank will never be the same without you there...your presence will truly be missed. You were truly one of a kind. Forever and Always in our hearts we love you. Little Ladies from the bank.
Henry was a wonderful man an a devoted husband, I have never knew a couple that loved each other so much. We will all miss you.
From my family to yours know that he is now at home. Our prayers we offer for you and your family,do not mourn his passing but celebrate his life and home coming.
Henry James Gilfilliam was my friend and more than a father to me for decades. Outside of Admiral Nimitz, no man was has lived in Texas with the constitution , love for humanity, and sheer manhood that Henry James possessed, during this great Texan's lifetime. Henry once said he could not tell you how many hundreds of homes and ranches that Clyde and Buck Barrow has gave to poor Texas families. Henry and Carolyn's family tree had bank owners and bank robbers both. No one can tell you how many Poor Texas ranchers, farmers, families and businesses owe their all to the love and generousity and compassion of Pa. Thousands and thousands of vehicle owners, land owners, home owners, and company owners each visited with Henry to get financial help. I've been to more than 1 engagement with this man and he never shirked a duty nor a fight. I never seen him tolerate bad behavior from a man . He would not tolerate it. He had no vices. No one has ever told me of a man that loved his wife more than Henry loved Carolyn for 6 decades. Henry never turned his back on a friend in his life. I'm not the only one that owes his very existance to this last great Texan. Texas Rangers and Govenors alike will never live the maverick life Henry enjoyed. Presidents from Texas never had the committment to America that Henry died with. Good bye "step and fetch it " I love you even in death.
Never in my 60 years on earth,have I ever met a true Christian,,,a true servant,,a true gentleman,like Mr. Henry Gillfillian.my tears are tears of joy,because you are finally home...You can never be replaced...won't even be able to come close,my friend.I hope to see you soon
Glenn Beck's Rally & the Banality of Goodness
Glenn Beck's Rally & the Banality of Goodness WASHNGTON, August 28, 2010 - Watching the Glenn Beck rally on the Mall, Mr. Beck has proven true to his word. The rally is not political if by political one means partisan. Every moment, every speech, every song has a feel good, I Love America, quality to it. A phrase, slightly modified from the original, fills my mind: The Banality of Goodness. Who doesn’t honor our troops? Who doesn’t admire Albert Pujols and his work with Down Syndrome children? Who doesn’t think honor is better than dishonor? Who doesn’t think family is important? Who is opposed to charity? President Obama! and his socialist henchmen! that's who!
Wish I were in DC now with Mr. Beck ! He's a true conservative American Patriot !
Wow! The banality of evil sounds like something those who have been part of the local Democratic Party qualify for. And those that have done nothing but gone along with the good ole boy system qualify for it too. Glenn Beck is someone far away, these people are right here!
Wow, thats deep . "the brighter the persona the darker the shadow". While his persona may be out shining the sun It hasn't gotten him elected president unlike someone I know.
did anyone notice that all most all the people at the beck rally were...uh...were white?? kind of hard to deny that tea party members are only concerned with one america, and i thought god was behind this rally, didnt beck say god was doing this? so god only called one part of america to this thing? white americans? so god deliberately didnt inspire people of color? is god a racist? beck said that god was the major push in this rally didnt he? yeah glenn beck is so right, we should really get behind his agenda...only a white america, white issues, god and beck on the mall...beck is what freud would have called spooky.
glenn beck's rally? what was it all about? where was god? beck made numerous statements previous to the rally that god would work some miraculous event to prove his blessing on the rally, did i miss it? looking at the crowd i see god inspired mostly white people to the rally...is god not color blind? beck took to the stage and shouted "hello america!", didnt he realize that america is made up of many ethnic types and not just white people? no he knew what he was doing all along,beck was preaching to his choir, the tea party members,who along with beck and palin believe in a different america, their god only blesses white people, their nation is only for white people, their country is different than everyone elses country.beck's rally had hidden agendas from the begining, there was no mistake about it, just because so many people showed up, they think they are vindicated in the real agenda. they gave fuel to the division of this country, they fed the egos of thousands of racist bigots,they promoted causes that no one could dare not endourse. it was shallow, it lacked depth,and it was patriotic pablum. it rated right up there with the rallys of nuremberg in the 1930's in germany. i stand by my initial statement that beck is on the verge of a major shift in his life, a mental breakdown.
Apparently those making comments about the Glen Beck “Restoring Honor” rally didn't watch it. I did. It was a religious event more than anything. He called for National revival. He read documents from our Founding Fathers. They sang spiritual songs. They prayed. Dr. Martin Luther King's niece, Dr. Alveda King, spoke at the event. There were people of every race, faith and color. There was an African-American pastor from Texas (who had attended King’s 1963 rally) that took part in the program. There were over 30 pastors of every denomination and faith involved with the event. Conservative estimates have over 500,000 people attending. Millions more watched on-line and TV. GET THE FACTS BEFORE YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH OR WRITE DOWN FALSE WITNESS AGAINST YOUR NEIGHBOR!!
Glenn Beck is a shill. And he certainly doesn't represent conservative interests. If he was he'd quit backing big spending neo-cons like Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney and get behind a true conservative like Ron Paul.
Glenn Beck's Rally & the Banality of Goodness...WHAT?? Why didn't you put up some video of Mr. Beck? Are you waiting on that conservative hater woman to come out with something and then you will put THAT on here?
Those of you who can't wrap your mind around the fact that America was/is founded on religious principals are the reason our country is in the state it's in right now.It's poeple like you that are the reason the true history of our great nation isn't taught to our kids the way it used to be. It's people like you that are causing the rift dividing what is the United States of America! The only way we are going to Re-Unite is through God and God alone not through government subsidies,bailouts or more federal policies. I am a born and bred die hard full blood American and if believing in the Constitutionis concidered un-american then I guess you can label me a traiter to what is now the new un-united states of america. I hope that I am not alone in this line of belief and that other true patriots will stand along side me to stabd against the "new "regime.
Glen Beck isn't the Christian I aspire to be. In fact, his life reflects non of the christian principals I hold dear. He is a showman that sells over priced gold coins on the side. If you want to live in a religious state, move to Iraq!
Judging by the comment above arguing that the United States of America is founded on Christianity, I'm going to overlook your lack of proper writing ability and assume that you are mislead instead of ignorant of the facts. If you would actually study history, you would find that your assertion is incorrect and that many of the founders were not Christians. There is a reason terms like Jesus Christ, The Bible and Christianity were not included in the Constitution of the United States. They were not included because the Founders respected all religions and knew that the government had no right to force feed their religious views on society.
You are not alone. The people that think the Bible is either nonsense or they do drive-by comments on it are the same people that believe the Constitution needs their updates or that say those wh don't agree are not as smart as them. Quite the debaters, aren't they?
I believe invitations were sent out to all races and ethnic groups. Do you liberal hate mongers realize that eighty percent (80%) of the USA population are white? Twelve percent (12%) are black according to the most recent census. So if there were only one thousand attendees, there were many more than that. As an example though; if there were one thousand folks there and 800 were white and 120 were black they would not have been very noticeable in the crowd, would they. Did you expect more blacks to attend or are you all just trying to make it a racist thing? I think that is the problem, when things do not look so good for the liberals, pull out your RACE card and try to make everyone feel guilty!.
we are on glenn beck overload!too much glenn beck! too much self indulgence!too much camera on glenn beck! too much mush, too much insipidity,god why wont he go away? take him and his flushed, baby fat face away, give the nation a break...and all his stupid flag waving followers with him!
We shaw do like that you a overlookin our spellin. But when you getta chance you ight notice we a Republic and read the state constitutions written that are proof of the place Christianity has in our heritage. Or if in you need maybe we can ride da ole mule by and our mule cn rea ta your smart ass.
To the person who says the Founding Fathers were not primarily Christian has NO idea what they are talking about. 27 of our nation's 56 founding fathers had Christian seminary degrees. The overwhelming majority of the Founding Fathers were CHRISTIANS. 52 of 55 Founders of the Constitution were members of established orthodox churches. Only a few were Deist or Agnostics. Daniel Webster, one of our founding fathers, emphasized the importance of Christian leaders and Christian principles in civil government. John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Samuel Adams, Alexander Hamilton, John Hancock, Patrick Henry, James Madison, Benjamin Rush, Daniel Webster, Noah Webster, George Washington and many, many more were Christians. Even Thomas Jefferson was a Christian. Many claim he was a Deist at best, BUT, Thomas Jefferson said "I am a real Christian, that is to say, a disciple of the doctrines of Jesus." The Bible is woven throughout the Founding Documents of our great Nation. The Mayflower Compact, The Declaration of Independence, The Constitution, The Federalist Papers, Articles of Confederation, Treaty of Tripoli and the First Amendment all have references to our Christian Heritage and the Bible. At the Supreme Court Building, guess who is at the center of all the great law givers throughout history? MOSES! The Ten Commandments is in three different places in that same building. So, anyone who states that our Founding Fathers were not primarily Christian is simply foolish and ignorant of easily published and well known facts.
Any possibilty Glenn Beck and Eddie Shauberger are the same peson with theatrical make up disguising their true identity: Newt Gingrich.
You've got to be kidding me tis is the kind of B.S. that's dragging our Country down the toilet,all because what Sarah Palin says is TRUE and the left is scared $#!tless because the American people are waking up to the fact that we've been duped by Uncle Sam.
Glen Beck is a 'clown' by his own words and a 'drunk' by his own words, so really does any one with a sound mind really believe this stunt was about anything but more money for Rupert Murdock. He should bring this traveling show to Liberty County, it would play big here, every White person for miles would show up, with their tattoos, missing teeth, rag stuck in their gas tank, cell phone, and a long smoke stuck in their mouth. God Bless the Soul of Martin Luther King, we remember your struggle and your peaceful resistance when you were rocked, by the Whites liked up in Alabama, to see the police whip you and your followers, for only wanting to be treated equally, forget the 40 acres and a mule. As a White American, I apologize for the outrageous acts and killings of the Black American Citizens and the still hatred of the First Black President. If, the Jews are God's chosen people, then the Black American has to be up there pretty high, guess they never thought of ovens to put you into, may be building them now though, so watch your step and completely boycott Glen Beck and Fox News,and any business that has playing Fox News in their business.
I find it hilarious that many left wing extremists truely believe that the Tea Party members are all racist white people. You people are complete idiots. I know many true conservatives who are of all races and nationalities. How dare you say that the Tea Party is just down right racist, all because you don't agree with the fact that they are American Patriots who do infact care a great deal about their country and the direction it is heading. Get a grip and take your head out of your asses and stop degrading those who want what is best for their country. You pansies get your panties in such a bunch when someone mentions Beck or Palin. I love seeing you liberals all riled up ! Funny how you attempt to debate anyone, yet your typical tactics turn into playing the race card.....Sorry guys but your race card has been maxed out!
To the person who said I have no idea what I’m talking about, I would suggest a little further investigation. First you use the example of the Treaty of Tripoli to show that Christianity was woven into our countries fabric. That’s a little hard to believe when the Treaty of Tripoli stated “that the United States was in no sense founded on the Christian religion.” You also state the First Amendment has references to “our” Christian heritage. It doesn’t. It merely states that ALL religions should be free to worship without being bothered by the government. Then you give a list of men that are supposed to be Christians. However, the historical records show that you fall way short. For instance, Thomas Jefferson, who was a deist and DID NOT accept Christianity, wrote in his personal journal: "Gouverneur Morris had often told me that General Washington believed no more of that system (Christianity) than did he himself." So we know that Jefferson and Washington were not Christians. James Madison wrote in a letter to non-believer Thomas Jefferson: "God is an essence that we know nothing of. Until this awful blasphemy is got rid of, there will never be any liberal science in the world." So your examples are falling flat. The founders did not write those documents to protect Christianity, they wrote them to protect all religions. I’ll leave you with this and hope you will educate yourself……The Treaty signed at Tripoli November 4, 1796, and at Algiers January 3, 1797 began Article 11 with these words: "The government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion.”
I have read a lot of the feedback on here, and have noticed one thing. Those who are for the tea party movement are more civil about what they post versus those who are against it. Read some of the words posted, and you'll find that those that loathe, and detest the people who are standing up to try to fix whats wrong in this country are the most self righteous bigoted people there are. The amount of HATE that comes from their posts, borders on (shall I say it) almost a racist attitude. The United States of America was founded on a fundamental belief in GOD. Moreover, to get out from under the church controlled Monarchy of England at the time. This nation was founded on the belief that all people were equal, but I see now that iff you're not a democrat, you are an unwanted human. To see the way people speak of other groups here, it seems as if those who have the power do not believe what anyone else has to say unless it comes from the mainstream media which is firmly under the control of the government. When the president, dictates that NO American Service Personnel, are allowed to speak at ANY religious event. That says something of his lack of character. I don't have a president. This country has a dictatorship, democracy is gone.
To the person griping about people's bumper stickers that they do not agree with: First of all I am just curious as to why you would eve ASSUME that EVERYONE from Kenefick is full of alcoholism, violence and are control freaks. When you say that, you are speaking for ME because I live in Kenefick and I am FAR from any of those things. Now I'm sure what you really wanted to say was that everyone in Kenefick are a bunch of gun-toting, drunk rednecks (you liberals favorite word). You could say I am a little redneck, and yes I do infact OWn and CARRY a firearm, per my right to the 2nd Amendment. I'm so very sorry that as you were growing up your parents whipped and molded you into a liberal frenzy and your knowledge of firearm use is very poor. It's not my fault, so do not let your anger speak for everyone. It is just too bad that you have to piss and moan about a little bumper sticker that you do not agree with. It is very typical of you liberals to gripe about someone else's freedom of speech, all because it doesn't fit into what you believe. Get over it, this country will change it's path in November, believe me. I strongly suggest that you get off your high horse, study a little bit about your "Messiah" and perhaps you will learn just exactly how radical the left wing extremist is.
i had to laugh at the response from the person from kenefick who thought that the previous post was all about kenefickers lol. the post was about how people give themselves over to lies and misinformation, and noticed a bumper sticker here locally that proved that point, then noticed that the truck and the bumper sticker went to kenefick, that was a side note. the responder then goes into super defense mode! assuming that he/she was being called a violent gun toting alchoholic redneck from kenefick, well if the shoe fits then....? talk about pushing some buttons LMAO.
Glenn Beck's Rally & the Banality of Goodness: Ok, what is the point of this story, you're not really saying anything. Based on the general liberal slant from this website, I presume it is intended to take a stab at Beck. But, come on...let's be coherent.
The treaty of Tripoli remained on the books for eight years, at which time the treaty was renegotiated, and Article 11 was dropped.
Lets not be intellectually dishonest here. The Treaty of Tripoli was not "renegociated". It was translated from Arabic to English and the individual that translated it decided to leave Article 11 out. However, the idea that the United States was not founded on the Christian religion was the prevailing opinion of the time, as the text that included Article 11 was passed by the Congress. After the translation from Arabic to English took place, the United States signed another treaty with Algiers which contained very similar statements of how our country was not founded on Christian principles.
I am so glad that the REV Al Sharpton will go to his grave keeping racism alive. We will never get away from racism with people like him and the REV Jesse Jackson. If racism died these 2 would have to get a real job! Jesse's been kinda quite here lately, though? If you think Glenn Beck is a racist then you haven't watched his program.
Re : the truck that had the bumper sticker on it was headed to kenefick, i wasnt surprised... This statement is just as ridiculous as the post. How dare you judge me, my family and friends ... Kenefick has been my home for 20 years. So glad you arent my neighbor.
"Lets not be intellectually dishonest here." Let's be a little more intellectual. The translation has been deemed questionable since the 1800's. So how can you sit back and tout it as gospel? The treaty with Algiers was re-signed in 1815. A full 20 years after the signing of the first treaty. "Individual treaties were negotiated with Morocco (1786), Algiers (1795), Tripoli (1797) and Tunis (1797), all of them more than once." So if they were negotiated more than once, doesn't that mean that they were re-negotiated? Intellectually speaking of course!
Shauberger Indicted for Making False Statements in Court Proceedings
POOR 'OL DA EDDIE JUST KEEPS ON DIGGING HIS HOLE DEEPER AND DEEPER....STARTING TO LOOK A LITTLE BETTER IN ORANGE....I'LL BET HE DOESN'T THINK SO...
wish i had a copy of that pic of eddie in his orange jumpsuit to put on my fridge--puts a big smile on face everytime that i look at it-lol! what a hypocrite!
I know Eddie Shauberger well and I don't believe any of the charges that have been made over the last three years. I am praying that he continues to preach the Word of God and to battle off any and all that try to drag him away from what he is doing. He and his wife Cndy have devoted their lives to helping people. From their adoption and rescue of five children from horrible circumstances years ago to the back breaking work of helping Chambers County recover from the hurricane, I know a different Eddie. this man as been generous with not only money, but his time and the sweat of his brow for his entire life. When this is all over I suspect wewill find out that Eddie was telling the truth about his former associates hiding money in a dummy corporation and his struggles in dealing with them.
Ya, I know Eddie Too, and yes he did give alot of money to people. IT WAS NOT HIS MONEY....don't you get it, Eddie didn't help people with anything of his, he stole it, Thats the problem. He was gready
to the poster defending eddie-what, does a brick have to hit you over the head? he told one thing to one grand jury and a completely opposite thing to the other grand jury!! in other words, your fine man of god lied through his teeth!!! he broke the law--he goes to jail! maybe god needs him to continue his ministry there-lol!
You really have left out some important details that cast doubt on the case against Eddie Shaubereger. GET THE FACTS BEFORE YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH OR WRITE DOWN FALSE WITNESS AGAINST YOUR NEIGHBOR
It is sad about Eddie, but you reap what you sow.

freud theorized that there existed things he called defense mechanisms that we all utilize to defend the part of ourselves that we try to hide, that we wont consciously acknowledge, so we unconsciously go to extremes protecting this shadow side (carl jung says) from our conscious selves. one of these dm is called projection, and its noticed when its a) prolonged, and b)irrational acting out. i propose to say glenn beck is in a projection episode, and its manifesting itself in this rally in dc this weekend. i predict that after the rally glenn beck will implode and loose his career, just like anita bryant did when she went after the gays in first florida,then nationaly, she lost her marriage, her job with florida orange juice, just because she couldnt face the fact that her home life was deteriorating, so she projected her shadows on the gays, and lost everything. im waiting for the other shoe to fall with glenn beck, what is he running from?
To the commentor bashing Glenn Beck with Freudisms, I have one quote for you. Cofucious says, "Man who live in glass house, should change clothes in basement......" People constantly get on here, bashing Glenn Beck and anyone else speaking out, and speaking up about our current situation. And yet you are quick to defend the actions of the current administration even though we are still spiraling downwards as a nation. Grow up, and get over yourselves and your self righteous BS. The rest of us are tired of listening to you!
no one in their right mind can say that glenn beck is a sane person, when they look at and read and listen to the junk that vomits from that pasty, bloated mouth,and disturbed mind.people who lick up loose cannons like beck, and limbaugh,hannity, coulter and oreily and their ilk have abdicated their ability to discern what is healthy and good for mental digestion. glenn beck and this rally in dc is a national disgrace!it's an attempt to co-opt king, an attempt to bring the other national disgrace, the tea party movement,and its members, back on central stage!the values of the nation are being prostituted by fox news, and misconstrued by the tea baggers!beck is predicting that "God is directly involved with this rally" he predicts a miracle to happen! who wants to bet that the miracle will have to do with beck's so called eye malady?the more i listen to this nonsense the more convinced i become of the fact that beck is in the throws of a mental break down, and when, not if, it happens, all his supporters and fans will wonder what happened to him, because they wouldnt dare question his sanity, because they identify so closely with the bile he spits out on his programs. carl jung(a contempory of freud) was right when he supposedly said "the brighter the persona, the darker the shadow"...beck's persona is out shinning the sun in my opinion!
Phil Ineligible to Run for County Judge
I am sooooooo happy and glorified that somebody has possibly,finally put an end to the underhanded,under-the-table kind of B.S. thats been going on in the court house .Thank you Delia for having the courage to enlist an outside agency to shut him up Thank you,thank you,thank you. Now maybe we can re-gain control as it's supposed to be.
Is this a mid-life crisis, like a new car or a new 'habit'?
Man Delia Sellers will be his next target to try and punish. Its a shame that when the voters say enough is enough some people just can't take the hint and keep trying to scam the county. FARE WELL PHIL take our fema money and get the hell out of town.
If you remember when Phil, while still a JP, signed up for the Hospital District board violated state law and thereby immediately relenqished his elected JP position.( Although the commissioners scrambled and appointed him back to the JP position to cover his butt and save his job.) It may be by the same laws that Phil has violated again by signing up to run for a elected position (he had ran as the incumbent in the primary and lost anyway) while still being in an elected position now, even though it is for the same judge position he has now. He may have legal removed himself from office now by signing up to run for a new position. This is just thinking on my part, but is something to think about.
I would venture to say that the guilt in the courthouse is not solely in the corner of the County Judge. The others are just better able to cover their tracks. Must be because of the extended length they have held their current positions. The County Judge is just the tip of the iceberg.
Everyones so quick to jump on the county judge, but I guarantee you almost anyone in his position does the same even in harris co. I don't see anyone whistle blowing the senators that make 100k a year but some how are worth millions...
I see so many posts about Fitzgerald taking FEMA money. Then I remember that Fitzgerald has opened a motel and a conference building in Moss Hill since Hurricane Ike. Coincidence?
WHY DON'T PHILLYBOY CATCH THAT LONG BLACK TRAIN LEAVEIN OUT OF TOWN AN GO BACK TO FARMIN.HE SURE DON'T NEED TO BE IN THE PUBLIC ANYMORE.
I live in the Moss Hill area and the structure encompassing the motel was being remodeled/built prior to Hurricane Ike. But, don't let that prevent any and everyone from speculating about did or did not occur. Let the law take its course and hopefully the TRUTH will come out.
WHEN IS GONNA LEARN THAT U CANT GET EVERYTHING HE Wants someone needs to put a stop to him thinking he needs to be in everything...
Which way will Phil run now? One thing about old Phil, he don't give up easily. This should be his notice, that lets him know that he can not run in an election he lost in the Primary. I know Phil is thinking,if I could just get my name on the ballot, I may win by splitting the votes. Go home Phil, you have finished last in this race.
Looser is just the begining to describe good ol boy Phil
GIVE IT UP PHIL!!!!! Enjoy your freedom while you still have it.
Give it up Phil, you are toast. The election earlier in the year should give you an idea of your backing. You would not be elected as the county dog catcher if you ran. You have had your time and now it's time for you to step aside and allow the county to move on instead of backwards. Time for the good ol boys to leave the court house.
Fitzgerald was beaten by an unknown and his embarrassment has become well known.
If I were a betting person, and I am not, I would bet Phil will now attack anyone and everyone that has had a hand in his demise. Liberty County's courthouse would be a great place or a reality show with Phil acting like a postal worker with accusations instead of a gun.
KSHN is reporting that Fitzgerald withdrew his name from the election. How is that possible since he was NEVER a legitimate candidate? Really, KSHN is looking foolish these days. Why, Bill, did you side with Phil instead of taking a neutral position?
I am going to make a prediction here. I fully expect Phil's next move to be to attack the people who brought this to light. No, not the DA or police, but Brashier and Dolcefino for telling everyone what was going on. Why would Phil go after anyone in the courthouse? some of them knew about what was going on and did nothing about it.

Anyone have any idea what group was begging for money at the intersection of Jefferson Drive and Main? Sure were slowing down traffic. Can anyone beg or do you have to get special permission to take over an intersection and disrupt traffic during the noon hour?
Is This NEW Phil or Old Phil? EDITORIAL
The application for write in candidacy says his name is: John Philip Fitzgerald. He has a residence and a different mailing address. It also states he has been in the state 51yrs and 3 months, in the county 40yrs and 3 months. Where was he for those first 11 years?? Where was he born?Can anyone tell me? Maybe there is more than one John Philip Fitzgerald walking around Liberty. One is the current Judge, one lost the primarty election, one who is being investigated, one is a write in candidate, one is having a nervous break down, one is at a probate seminar until August 30. If another one shows up walking around town not wearing any clothes can something be done? I wonder which one will go to Jail. John, Philip, Phil, Johnnie, Fitz's......God Help Us All! You just have to laugh to keep your self from crying. It's all so pathetic and a sad state of affairs for our beloved community.Get on your knees and Pray...Please God help us cope with this insantity.
Fitzgerald Certified as a Write-In Candidate for County Judge
"Phil?" Is just having the name Phil on therer suppose to enear us to you for yourlack of presumptiousness of is it suppose to make you feel better when Ken Morrison smokes your rear end.
Mrs. Archer was right bout Judge Fitzgerald. I think she will steer this county away from dishonesty towards integrity.
Phil Fitzgerald is a joke, maybe he'll be declaring himself eligible to be President of the USA. Lock him up with the rest of the criminals.
Don't fret for Phil, it will be o.k., the US District Attorny isn't going to come down on a fellow Democrat for stealing. I would venture to guess if he was in Chicago they would run him out of town because he didn't steal enough while in public office!
One will be able to hear the distinct sound for miles when they finally pull the government tit out of the mouth of poor old Judge "Clean Our Pockets" Fitzgerald. Giving up that government check and license to steal is probably harder then giving up crack to an addict.

Yeah, from the the New LISD Press Box at the Stadium, you can watch a Liberty Panther Football Team go 2-8 or 3-7 for the season. Take your Pick. Hardin will be prepared the first game of the Season. Blocking and Tackling will be Liberty's down fall.
To:....."from libertys press box...."If you can't say something positive,don't say anything at all.In other words , SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP ,your ignorance is showing
To:....."from libertys press box...." Sounds to me like somebody the got cut from the team...... And wants to bash the team as a whole.
It is past time for Coach Deel to go, his pink slip should be on his desk. A bond will never pass with another losing season.
to the original poster-hornets and panthers-by friday night's score, looks like you knew exactly what you were talking about, after all-lmao!
My lack of Knowledge, Awareness, Education: IGNORANCE. LISD Broad members who voted for Coach Deel to be Head Coach are now shaking thier Heads or just lack Knowledge when hiring Coaches. Last Season should have been a wake up call by watching the Confussion on the Football feild by the Players themselves. They (Players) had no Clue were to line up, Lacked Blocking and Tackling Skills. Game Plan, Awareness of Offensive and Defensive weekness or strenghts. The Kids just seem to be Lost. Who suffers, of course the Kids. Education should have been the Number One Priorty. Money Spent on Athletics (Football) could have been used for Teachers to buy Equipment or Materials for their classrooms. LISD Broad hiring of Coach Deel was Ignorance. Deel did a Good Sales Pitch. Hook, Line and Sinker!
LISD Coach Deel, His coaching ability is in question and so are the board members that continue to allow this type embarassment to continue in Liberty football. Their excuse will be that football is secondary to education however, is should be an education within itself. Liberty has a head coach that does not have the expertise to be the leader that these young men deserve. The team is hurting because Coach Deel does not teach them the basics of football very well. Education should always remain first but many young people remain in school because of sports and for these, they deserve better. Wake up school board members! Your voter public is watching how you handle this one!!!!
Federal Grand Jury Issues Summons
Political corruption in Liberty County, really ? What about Chambers County too ? I do believe there is political corruption in both counties especially with Hurricane "IKE" cleanup. Some people really cleaned up after "IKE", not everyone just a "chosen few" and they really need to be investigated for their actions !
What good timing this is. Right after good ol boy Phil made his demands this last week. Phil you are your own worst night mare and not smart enough to know it. Keep digging that hole buddy it will catch up to you sooner or later. These guys better be smart enough to know they are dealing with the REAL system not the back woods country system that is used in Liberty county as Phil said.
FINALLY...the wheels of justice turn REAAAALLLLL SLOOOOOOW....
Two things tip off what this questioning is about and it is about getting facts on the record about County Judge Phil Fitzgerald and possibly his campain buddy, Lee Groce. Number one: Commissioner Lee Groce was not served. Since rumors have swirled around possible misconduct of Groce, his name being absent from this group makes this seem likely. Number two: The one commissioner who has never been involved in any scandal is Melvin Hunt. It is likely he will answer question about the procsses and the conversations h is aware of as a commissioner that have to do with Fitzgerald and possibly Groce.
Commissioner Melvin Hunt is the only college educated person on the Liberty County Commissioner's Court(he is a former school teacher) and he has years and years of experience. The fact that he has periodically filled in as County Judge over the last twenty years and he is intelligent enough to articulate what should hve been done should worry Fitzgerald's attorneys Asking Hunt and the other two about what they know about irregularities is the way Judge Fitzgerald dealt FEMA money is the natural way to box in the Judge and prepare for possible indictments.
This is like a clown contest and all of theclowns are going to point out who the grand champion clown is.
Ok, I'm just gonna come out and say this. Phill, you once said, and I quote sir, "You need supervision". Remember that...Well karma is a b@$%&. I guess all along Phill-YOU NEEDED SUPERVISION!!!HaHaHaHaHa...
Will taxpayers get to hear Mr. Gaudet and perhaps Mr. Dennis Odell confirm or deny what went on right underneath their noses?
If he is guilty, and indicted and found guilty, I hope he rots in prison, but Toby is still free, walking the streets. What a wicked web we weave when we tend to deceive. We will all, that are Christians, will be judged, when 'He' comes again. Truth and veracity are hard to find these days, look at the media in Liberty County.
Melvin Hunt was a puppet to the previous county judge thought. It was comical to go to commissioners court and watch the puppet show. He could not answer for himself he had to look and see what direction the then judges head was moving before he moved his own. Just because he has a degree or some college does not mean alot.
Finally,it looks like the United States Attorneys office will follow the evidence in the Fitzgerald case and see where it leads. Those under subpoena to testify will be doing so under the pains and penalty of perjury therefore I doubt that they would be inclined to testi-Lie before a Federal Grand Jury to help a friend. As far as any charges being brought against Fitzgerald by the State of Texas I think that we can forget about that.

I HAVE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE DISD TRANSPORTATION FOR OUR KIDS....I KNOW THEY ARE IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING SOME MINOR CHANGES...BUT, WHY DO SOME BUSES HAVE A/C AND SOME DONT? THE KIDS WILL STILL BE ON THE BUS TOO LONG. WE PAY TAX DOLLARS, SHOULD'NT THERE BE MORE BUSES AND MORE DRIVERS TO ACCOMODATE OUR CHILDREN...IT'S 4:23 AND MY KINDERGARTNER HAS NOT EVEN GOT ON THE BUS YET, AND NOT TO MENTION ITS 100 DEGREES TODAY, HE WILL BE ON THE BUS FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF, NO A/C NO DRINK.
To the person complaining about the DISD transportation. My take on it is this: DISD is doing what they can with the funds, personnel, and equipment they've got. Transportation is offered for those that want to partake of it. If you don't like it, then YOU take responsibility of your little darling and transport him/her to and from school yourself or find someone else to do it for you.
the schools really should spend more time educating children, and less time and money raising and transporting them.
DISD transportation: I agree with the 1st poster! I think that Dayton needs to stop sending all my hard earned tax dollars on a stupid stadium for the "all mighty" football players. Maybe spend that money on better educating our kids and just maybe we wouldn't have gotten the worst rating in the district! If any are interested...did you know it cost millions to build Dayton's stadium and the people that paid for it are NOT even allowed to walk the track in the evenings! But off my soap box....Dayton does need to deligate better in their financial spending, and make sure the kids are taken care of, and not just lining the pockets of the higher chain of command!
There could ALWAYS be improvements in spending as far as DISD or any other school district goes. So its not wrong for the other poster to have a problem with the transportation. Most of you have no problem making the kids sit in a 100degree bus because you're sitting in the AC in front of the computer right now. I walked today to pick up my kindergartener and didn't see NOT ONE car with the windows down, they ALL HAD AC!
concerning the DISD transportation....If it wasn't for the "all mighty football players" my son would prob be on a corner somewhere selling drugs. DISD does what they can. The highschool football team generates a lot of business for the comunity as well. If you child is on the bus to long in the heat and without water....put a frozen bottle in their lunch box and by the time school is over it sould be able to drink. (it also keeps their lunch)
Re: DISD and the buses. I'll bet you my paycheck that the football players, band and cheerleaders ride on a/c buses. And DISD wasn't worried about buses when they spent millions on the stadium. Nuff said.
DISD TRANSPORTATION, I WORK SO I CAN PAY MY TAXES, THEREFORE I AM ENTITLED TO COMPLAIN....I ALSO AGREE WITH THE STADIUM ISSUE AND THE NEW CITY HALL IS ANOTHER ISSUE. DID ANYONE ELSE GET A LETTER FROM DISD GIVING PERMISSION FOR YOUR CHILD TO GO TO ANOTHER SCHOOL DISTRICT??? I GOT ONE FOR MY NINTH GRADER, BECAUSE DAYTON WAS TITLED UNACCEPTABLE. EVERYONE I TALK TO FROM OTHER AREAS CANNOT BELIEVE OUR KIDS HAVE TO CATCH THE BUS THAT EARLY AND RETURN THAT LATE. YEARS AGO, WHEN THIS STARTED I TOOK HUNDREDS OF NAMES AND SPOKE IN FRONT OF THE SCHOOL BOARD...IT DID NOT HELP...I BET NONE OF THOSE PEOPLE PUT THEY'RE KIDS ON THE BUS.
You will never be able to please everyone! Personally, I believe DISD has done a excellent job with all the children in district and are always striving to do better. If you would get your information straight 'ike' played a major role in the unacceptable rating and NOTHING else! Our community does not have much to offer our kids; our coaches devote 3 days a week of 'their' summer to open the doors to athlete's who want to spend time there. Perhaps you need to check yourself before criticizing others. Don't like it? You now have another choice...move on.
DISD Transportation: If they are going to make our children stand in the dark on the corners at 5:30am then they need to put street lights up and down the main roads because it is pitch black drivers cannot see them standing there or around the corners. Some parents have to leave and go to work and don't have anyone to stay with their child. Besides that there is a sex offender at every corner just about in Liberty County!!!!!!!! But as long as it is saving them money and not the tax payers and it benefits them the safety of our kids do not matter!!!!
I WOULD LIKE TO SAY KUDDOS TO OUR DRIVERS AND THE BUS BARN,,, I KNOW IT STARTS WITH THE DISTRICT... MY DAUGHTER JUST TEXT ME COMPLAINING OF HOW HOT IT IS. AND THAT THE DRIVER HAS PUT IN A FORMAL COMPLAINT ABOUT THERE BEING TOO MANY KIDS ON THE BUS.
It seems like every year we have somebody complaining about the buses or how long it takes to get your child home from school, quit complaining and pick your child up from school. We pay a boat load of school taxes but I am not crying about our football stadium, in fact I am very proud of it. As for the letter you received about having the option to let your child go to another school if you wanted, well how do you think your child would get to that school and you would still pay school taxes for Dayton. Seriously if you don't like the school district that much and have nothing better to do but b***h then you really need to find another hobby.
When did it become mandatory that schools have to provide transportation for the kids?! I believe school districts should only be responsible for providing a suitable school building, paying for teachers, and educating our students. I don't think they should have to provide transportation or even feed the kids. All of that should be the parents' responsibilities. It irks me to see how schools have been forced to literally raise kids nowadays. Parents expect 12-hour babysitting service. They want the kids fed and entertained, and toted here and there. Some rely on the schools to clean, clothe, and provide medical attention. The next thing to come will be parents demanding the school districts provide free boarding schools. That way, all the parents have to do is birth them babies, ship 'em off to school, and fetch 'em back in 18 years.
Don't these people realize how much new busses cost? They can barely buy two or three new busses each year just to replace old busses, and try to keep up with district growth. Some day all busses will have A/C but it will take time. Quit bellyaching and remember,a few years back, none of the busses had A/C,so at least, they are moving ahead.
TO the person that said we need to put a frozen water in are kids lunch we it a good idea but a problem.The kids csn not drink or eat on te busses.And do the person that got a letter for ur child to go to anoughter school thats cool and a bus dose not pick them up.I live 10 miles out of down and it only take like 15 min to get to my house from town. But it takes my 2nd grader 2-3 hours to get home.I can understand the 1st few day of school but not all year.That is to many kids.They need to have a bus for the A runs and one for the B runs.And if u tell me to take my child to school I would by why should we when transportation is prfided and everone in dayton that has a child in school pays school taxs ao they should pick are kids up.But I bet u everone up there that works at that bus bare dose not have a child riding one of those hot bus on the long day!
So you COULD go get your kid in just 15 minutes, but you'd rather your child sit on a hot bus for 2-3 hours while you just sit and complain. Truth be told, you're just like a lot of the other parents enjoying the extra hours of tax-supported babysitting service.
TO THE PEOPLE ABOUT THE B***HING, AND THE TAX DOLLARS RAISING OUR KIDS.....THIS SITE IS FOR POST LIKE THIS....AND TWO, DO YOU THINK EVERY MOTHER CAN TAKE HER KIDS TO SCHOOL AND PICK THEM UP? I WISH I COULD, BUT UNFORTUNATELY IM A SINGLE MOTHER. THAT DOES NOT MEAN I WANT THE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT TO RAISE MY KIDS. BUSES HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR DECADES. AGAIN THERE IS NOT ANOTHER DISTRICT THAT PICKS UP THAT EARLY AND DELIVERS THAT LATE. I WORK TO PROVIDE FOR MY CHILDREN. DO ANY OF YOU PEOPLE DOING THE BASHING DO ANYTHING PRODUCTIVE? AND IF IT WASNT THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS RESPONSIBILITY FOR TRANSPORTATION OF OUR KIDS?? THEN WHY ARE THEY DOING IT AT ALL?
For all you people complaining about hot buses and stadiums, why aren't you more concerned about the safety of the students on buses. I see kids standing up and walking around on buses while in motion quite regularly and nothing seems to be done about it. Also why do we have laws about seat belt use in personal vehicles and we as tax payers can't get seat belts installed in all buses and require that they be used?

Liberty ISD trustees toured the new, almost completed press box at Memorial Stadium last Tuesday. The old one was destroyed by Hurricane Ike. Workers are nearly through with the 480-square-foot enclosed press box with an upper deck for filming. LISD officials say the box will be operational when the Panthers host their first home game on September 3 which will mean over 6 decades of the game being announced in the stadium and almost 3 decades of radio broadcast still remain uninterrupted.
With regard to the comment regarding the number of years of broadcasting the games for Liberty, surely you are aware that the same would have been true had not the Cadillac press box been rebuilt? What has happened since the hurricane?
County Judge Fitzgerald Issues Demand
Has Fitzgerald lost his mind? What does he hope to accomplish? We need federal indictments SOON.
Fitzgerald reminds one of a boil on the rear end. The boil pops and a new boil shows up next to where the first boil festered. Boils are so doggone tough to get rid of.
has the county judge lost his mind? he HAS to go!
He must think he is GOD or something and everyone believes his lies. I sure would like to see him is hand cuffs when the election is counted. He is a crook and he strong arms the court he is over. Good riddens Phil and your BS is catching up to you quickly. I hope if you try to step in and stop the vote I hope charges are pt on you and you take a trip to the pokey where you belong. You have done nothing for this county but steal money and try to help your friends line their pockets.
I have heard of many things but this takes the cake. He wants to make sure he does'nt have anybody to run against him because he knows he would'nt get elected. Just some underhanded dealing like in the past. Like the fema money that he and his brother in law worked so hard to get while us poor folks still ekeing out a living. I will be glad when the election is over.
This sounds like a typical ploy of a long established political crook,using his established position to try to throw a wrench into the Constitutional workings of an election that the VERY WISE people of Liberty County have so clearly have decided that he is/will NOT be a part of. This Phil is pure BLACKMAIL and is if memory serves me correct is a FELONY not to mention tampering with an election which is FEDERAL. Just exactly how low will you stoop to keep your grubby,slimey greedy hands on the throat of our fine County? The VOTERS have spoken,Pack your CRAP and slither your antique butt out of the Roach,Mold and RAT infested Courthouse. Maybe with you gone we as voters can regain control of this county the way it's supposed to be. By the People,For the People!!!
Once again the Judge is attempting not only to practice Law, with only a GED. He is rewriting the Law to fit himself. The Fine People of Liberty County deserve better representation than this man. Why, does he continue to bring shame and disgrace on us? Ken Morrison beat him by 65% of the votes. The voters got it right! Everyone in Liberty County should thank Ken Morrison. Everyone should get out and Vote for him! Ken Morrison has Great plans and vision for the county.As Ken says, "You can't pick where you were born, but you can pick where you die"
Phil Fitz. is trying to strongarm the Democrat Party her into doing his bidding it seems. Lets see if he does hand the gavel over to Hunt. Then see which other commissioners will fall in behind his demands by their votes in favor of Phil, then you can see the "click" that is crooked. That will show the people of the county how their commissioners are and the November elections can be the start to cleaning out the court!!
Liberty County Judge Phil Fitzgerald has been investigated by the District Attorney's office in conjunction with the County attorney's office. In a joint communique they asked the office of the Attorney General to intervene. They agreed to send the AGA all of the results of their investigation to that point and to fully cooperate with the investigation. As far as the citizens of Liberty County are concerned the story ended there. Did the Attorney General,s office actually investigate? Ask Mike Little because we don't know? Did the FBI really investigate him like we heard they were? If all of this is true why was Phil Fitzgerald never charged with any crime/s? This man is innocent until proven Guilty under our law. Let Justice be done though the Heavens may fall.
What a big f*****g moron Fitzgerald is, I hope he chokes on his FEMA money, crooked son of a bi*** needs to be run out of town on a rail!
I see Phil's family reads this site and his only supporter. His GED education sure showed in the interviews. He does not know the laws are the same across the state and things are not supposed to be done different out in the country. He can't abuse his office to dismiss friends DUI charges in a mid night court hearing in a dark back court room. He is a fruad and a scamming good ol boy that has been shown the door and not smart enough to open it and leave quitely. To bad the investigations were not followed up on or he would already be out of office and maybe spending time in a nice state cell eating his 3 squares a day.
In regards to the post " Maybe with you gone we as voters can regain control of this county the way it's supposed to be. By the People,For the People!!!" Don't you know that here in Liberty County it is By Phil for Phil the hell with the people. Thats why he is so p****d off. His free ride on the backs of all us tax paying people is over. He will try anything to keep his hand in the piggy bank as long as he can. I hope that the FEDS look into his attempted strong arm of the DNC and Archer and put the pins to his ass hard and dry.

the republicans have been screaming about the deficit, slash spending they say, reduce the deficit they yell, dont increase the umemployment benefits without having the money to pay for it, let the poor suffer they infer, anyone notice how they shut up about the evil deficit when the challenge to retain the tax cuts were going to cost the country? they defended the tax cuts, which are going to raise the deficit,letting them expire would lower the deficit. can someone say hypocrites?
To the person who made comments about screaming Republicans: First, the Democrats control the Senate, the House and the President...and you say the Republicans are obstructing?? Secondly, me, the Democrats can pass ANYTHING they want to. The Republicans want Congress and the President to keep the tax cuts because those people benefiting CREATE jobs! Extended unemployment encourages people to NOT LOOK FOR A JOB AND WORK! The Republicans want the Congress and President to spend within our means....to pay as you go...HOW ABOUT CUTTING SPENDING!! President Obama has spent more than any other President EVER!! We all do it in our own households, so why doesn't our government do it???!!! RECORD DEFICITS, RECORD SPENDING, RECORD ENTITLEMENT PROGRAMS, RECORD MODERN UNEMPLOYMENT, RECORD BAILOUTS...this mess is ALL Obama's. This economy is ALL Obama's now. He is a WEAK, ARROGANT, SOCIALISTIC FAILURE. EVERYONE NEEDS TO VOTE IN NOVEMBER TO KICK THESE LIBERAL SOCIALISTIC BUMS OUT!!!
the republicans arent nick named the party of "no" for no reason. they have always been in bed with the wealthy, so have the dems to a degree, but the repubs joke about it calling it their base. if the government hadnt moved on the economy like it did, then we would be in a more terrible situation than we are now, only an idiot would slash spending in an economic downturn, the so called job creators benefiting from the tax cuts arent starting new jobs with all that money the bush tax breaks gave them, they are sitting on the money and keeping it to themselves, and the umemployed have no recourse except to hope something will break on their behalf. the right wing conservative tea party bunch have offered nothing but patriotic pablum instead of healthy strong ideas that can help those in dire straits. i read in the paper the other day that corporate america is sitting on 3 trillion dollars in profits, thats stimulus times 3! yeah thats where the jobs come from, sure, uh huh, you bet, cant wait to see that happen. in november im voting democratic once again...and im sure that my vote wont count for anything here in podunk county, but to vote republican would be a vote for narrow minded bigotry and greed.
..."only an idiot would slash spending in an economic downturn." The person who wrote this is the idiot!! Who among us, in an economic tough times, would spend more than we make??! No, rather, we would tighten our belts and watch our spending closely. It is no different for our government. I suppose this idiot thinks money grows on trees and we can simply print more money when needed. This person knows nothing about economics and finance. If they did, they would know that printing more money causes inflation. I suppose this dunderhead doesn't mind spending $10.00 for a gallon of gas? This person needs to go back to school and learn something about economics and finance. By the way...it is a proven fact that the "stimulus" has NOT created any private sector jobs. Want proof? Go to the Congressional Budget Office webpage and Labor and Statistics website and you will easily find that we continue to lose jobs and the unemployment rate is at 9.5%. Under-employment is closer to 15%. BUT....go ahead...continue to bury your head in the sand.
The reason that much of Corporate America is "sitting" on large amounts of cash is because in tough times, people AND corporations hold on to cash...they cut back...and wait to see if things are improving. Things are NOT improving! In fact, Obama has made things worse. Many Corporations are holding on to cash because they don't know what to expect from Obama's Socialistic Healthcare. Go back to school and learn something about econmonics before you open your mouth!!
to the two morons who think you can run a country on a house hold budget are the ones with their "head in the sand".its that type of simplistic answers to complex situations that hold up real progress. i guess living in a hee haww social structure like they do gives them the right to make statements like that because they cant think out side the box. if obama hadnt increased the stimulus, that bush has started, then we would be in a world of hurt, my guess is that these two beckerheads have plenty of money at their disposal so they can say stupid crap like that and feel vindicated. inflation isnt our greatest threat if they knew anything about econommics, its deflation,look what happend to japan for ten years.
"...if they knew anything about econommics, its deflation,look what happend to japan for ten years." Well you must be one of these "Deflationist" people. I am a "Modified Inflationist." If you knew anything about current economic conditions, you would be aware that all economic signs have very little in common with the deflation that happened in Japan in the 80's and 90's. Please do your research before you make such broad simplistic, illogical statements. Currently, we really have neither inflation or deflation. Real simple: The more you make of something, the less it's worth. The less you make of something, the more it's worth. BUT, due to the record spending and deficits created by OBAMA, we WILL have a double dip recession. Since Obama and Congress have not let the market correct itself, the Federal Reserve will have no choice but to make some drastic new money policies which WILL cause inflation to occur. What concerns me is HYPERINFLATION, but I doubt seriously that will happen. OBAMA'S record spending, record deficits, record entitlement programs, record modern unemployment and record bailouts WILL cause inflation. Also, if you knew anything about economics, you would know that government spending WILL NOT create jobs. It WILL NOT help anything EXCEPT help make government grow. The only hope is to vote for fiscal conservatives for Congress and President; men and women who will stand for fiscal responsiblity. Go back to school gooberhead!
modified inflationist? give me a break! obama attacked the problem that was handed to him by the reward the wealthy , starve and ignore the needy ,administration that preceded his. vote in fiscal conservatives? never! they always cater to the wealthy because thats who finance their campaigns, hyperinflation? double dip recession? maybe, or maybe not, but id rather be under a progressive administration instead of a conservative one in that situation,theres a better chance of survival. i wonder when you were going to school and getting that wonderful education you flaunt did you take a morality or ethics course? oh thats right you dont need ethics, you are a financial wizard, a self indulgent succesfull "modified inflationist",LMAO! read paul krugman in todays paper if you have the moral courage and see what a real economist has to say, dunderhead.
Ok, I should have known that talking about deflationism and modified inflationism would be WAY above your head, SOOOO...I will explain it as simply as possible so even YOU can understand. 1) You spend more than you take in = deficits = bankruptcy. 2) Govenment doesn't create jobs. 3) Housing sales are at historic lows. 4) Obamacare didn't solve the healthcare cost problem. 5) 9.5% unemployment. 6) Taxes are higher under Obama and rising. 7) The stimulus didn't create any private sector jobs. 8) All these things are worse under Obama due to his FAILED policies. 9) The Republicans/Conservatives are going to take back Congress and the presidency in 2012. 10) Get over it!
i didnt really figure you would read paul krugman,and i dont really care either way...utilizing psuedo intellectual terms like "inflationiism" and "deflationism" gives you a chance to prove to yourself and others that the degree you got at lamar was worth it, nothing sadder than being educated beyond your ignorance, and having to live in podunk too,huh? i marvel at your ability to predict the future and completely miss the present, health care not working? obama raising taxes? none of that has happend, but you cant percieve that,oh yeah take some advice from a fellow podunker, get some industrial strength prozac to help you deal with what is comming in 2012, it may help you sleep, and another thing, to overuse a trite little saying;"denial aint just a river in egypt".
It is so easy to spot the kind of person who reads a little Freud and a little of this "expert" ad a little of that "expert" anbd then uses their amateurish reasoning to apply it amd twist it to agree with an opinion they already hold. It s pseudo inelllectualism. people that think they could have been a doctor or a psychiatrist because they think they have a large intellect. But what really is happeningisthey are trying to use a well known name to validate something that is really their opion. They lack the ability to articulate and lay out a well engineere argument. The truth is Freud would not pply his theories to Glenn Beck in any recognizable way ike the commentator has in the ealier post. It reminds me of lawyers who tell non-lawyers that they jst don't understand ecause they don't understand the Constitution. we all know that it is lawyers who have misconstrued the Constitution more than any other profession.
Police Pursuit Ends Without Incident
Good job trooper and everyone involved. One less crook off the streets and no one was hurt in the process. I hope he gets the book thrown at him but we are in Liberty Co. and we will be lucky if he serves any time at all.
Seems like the DPS, is doing a good job of policing our Highways and making a very good arrest, but saw no Sheriff Dept Patrol Cars in the photos. Other than calls at night, you hear nothing from them (LCSO) working traffic on our roads or checking suspicious autos, but I am not blaming the Deputies, they are just trying to make in in a toxic Sheriff's Dept., so thank goodness, the Texas Department of Public Safety Officers are around. Good Job, Thanks from a Citizen and Taxpayer.
Two Vehicle Accident in Moss Bluff
If anyone is interested, James Hendry is still fighting for his life in the ICU at Herman Hospital in Houston. His 7 year old grandaughter, who he has been raising alone since his wife died, was put into a foster home with strangers by CPS because they did not approve of anyone offering to take her home. After being traumatized by the accident, now she has lost her family and I am sure is very worried about her "PawPaw". All this because Ms. Jackson couldn't be bothered to check to see if a car was coming BEFORE she pulled out of her driveway.
Major Accident on US 90 East of Liberty
This man now has FIVE DWI'S?!!! This is absolutly ridiculous! I hope whoever keeps letting him go free can sleep well at night knowing he almost killed a whole family.Please follow up on this Allen and let us know how he has gotten away with this so many times.Will he get away this time?Prayers for speedy recovery for the family hurt by this sorry drunk.
What does it take to keep these multiple DWI offenders off the street? Do they have to kill someone before the courts wake up? Lock his ass up for 10-15 yrs that should be ample time for him to dry out.
How about a list of the judges this guy has appeared before in his previous DWI convictions?
2 of the DWI's were back in the 90's under Judge Woods..the others I have no clue
How many more times will he be turned loose before he kills someone. He has 4 convictions and the courts continue to release him. AMAZING!!
Another one that will be turned loose by the courts to continue his life of crime a AND he will !!
4 PREVIOUS????? What is wrong with Liberty Co???? Do you take pride in all the previous convictions..and all those still allowed to drive>??? Perhaps if HE HAD BEEN LOCKED AWAY THE LAST TIME...HE WOULDN'T HAVE PUT THOSE 3 IN THE HOSPITAL... SO WHAT NOW???? ANOTHER SLAP ON THE WRIST...AND BACK IN A CAR HE GOES????? Insurance???? I don't see how he could have any!!!! LOCK HIM UP AND THROW AWAY THE KEY FOR GOOD THIS TIME!!!!!!
Yeah how bout 5 dwi's? Not good. What you don't understand is he was convicted and spent 5 or more years in prison for the previous ones. Don't get on the judicial system this time. He served all his time and got out. Stayed doing good for some time. Guy has a serious prblem. He has had many wrecks before but only with himself. This time he has hurt others (thank GOD he didn't kill anyone!) If he didn't learn during his time in then yes he needs to go on back.
Need to lock up the one that keeps letting him out.Come on,keep following this trail and lets name names.Maybe if the courts are held accountable they will stop this.
4 convictions you have to love the Liberty County justice. How many more does it take in this county for him to doing time and off the streets? Or does he have to kill someone before he does time?
Very sad...glad no one was killed. Alcohol..so deceptive, yet legal. Bad choices indeed..Alcoholics are selfish; I know this from personal experience. It's my opinion that he won't change his behavior until he changes his thinking.. I know this from experience as well. It takes what it takes sometimes, and sometimes it's the pain of incarceration and seperation from family. Sometimes it's treatment. Sometimes it's both! I pray for him and all alcoholics and addicts... most of all I pray for the victims of their destructive choices. It's not the Judges..It's the man..the woman..it's the human being that has to make the change within him or herself. Enough already, getting emotional...goodnight.
The 3rd DWI conviction is a Felony, so with 5 convictions, you would expect him to do some time in the state pen, but people who harm children in this county are not even locked up and still driving drunk, 5 years later. Do we even have a Prosecutor in Liberty County???
Take away his license and lock him up for good !!!
Major Accident on SH 321, Dayton
I hope everyone involved in this accident is okay because the pictures look awful, but a man will stop at nothing, not even an 18 wheeler, to get his tools.
Sarah Palin Attacked by "Mama Grizzlies"
Do you smoke dope before locating crap like this to post on your website? What CRAP!
Cute! But, salmon swim upstream and not downstream unless they have hatched and are going to the sea for their 5-7 years. Unemployment compensation has grown way beyond what it was intended for. One of the reasons not to look for a job when you can sit around and draw from the public trough for 99 weeks. Some people use it for exactly what is needed until they find a job for which they have been actively seeking and not just sitting back, drinking beer and complaining about how bad everything is. This country is losing or has already lost what made it great, namely self-sufficiency. Most of the teacher's problems stem directly from their so-called representatives - the unions. These same folks would not have made it to Oregon, California and points west during the migrations because they could not attach themselves to the government teat and would have fallen by the wayside.
That's not a Momma Grizzly, that is a "Wookie."
So you're taking the side of a pro-abortion, radical progressive feminist group like Emily's List? You hate Sarah Palin that much to take the side of these tramps? I support Sarah Palin's positions over these "Mama" grizzlies who MURDER their young instead of protecting life.
That has to be one of the dumbest things I have ever seen. Why would you show this? I'm sure rachel maddow said somthing stupid today.
What in the hell was that? The other posters are/were right Allen this is CRAP,it would be nice for a change if you would report on the other side of this political coin,(you know the side that wants to RESTORE HONOR,JUSTICE and VALUE) back to the American people,the people that DON'T slurp from the engorged teats of the "government" those that DON'T orgasmically dream of more and more subsidies, you know those of us that actually WORK for a living,those of us that only take unemployment checks to bridge the gap between JOBS. Please before any of you LEFTIST IDIOTS start bad mouthing me about this post YOU'RE THE REASON THIS COUNTRY IS IN THE CONDITION IT'S IN NOW so please ,please SHUT UP and crawl back under your rock or go back into your dark holes like the worthless COCKROACHES YOU ARE....!!!!
to the poster who wants to restore honor, justice, and value--take a long look in the mirror and your own side of the coin! you and your right wing fanatics are no better than anyone else--far from it, as a matter of fact-- you care nothing about honor, justice, and values--only about lining your greedy little pockets. what's the difference if you take from the government with your tax cuts or if someone takes from social services--oh, that's right, you deserve it! after all, they're all slackers, aren't they--beer drinking, cigarette smoking crack heads! now, who is responsible for this country being where it is today? if the "bush" days were so great for america, why do you think you lost control of it all two years ago. you better hope that's not what americans "remember in november"! obama made a lot of promises, america liked it and voted for it, and he's made good on them all--the latest, if you haven't heard, we're done with iraq--last of the troops coming home! hadn't heard much about that on fox news--hmmm. i pray to god that he'll be able to fix the economic meltdown he inherited, if it can be. the way your post reads, you're nothing but a whiny sore-loser, mad 'cause you're not getting your little greedy way--boo freakin' hoo-lol!

Mr Templeton is blessed to be alive. My son died 8yrs & 8 mons ago, from pulminary embolism the blood clot came from an old football injury and settled in his breathing passage at the age of 19, while he was asleep. He was a big healthy young man and was not sick, so pulminary embolism is very serious. I hope Mr Templeton continues to recover and God bless him and his family.

I reference to the person asking about the sheriff's office and not knowing what is going on. The last person that spoke up and said the truth about whats taking place everyone said that the person saying those types of things must be an upset employee. Well thats not the case. Things are really bad at the sheriff's office. If someone wants to know the truth, someone should ask a question. But when it is a answer you think is not possible - believe it.
I Feel sorry for these fisherman. I had already made up my mind before this report that I was gonna starve too death because I love seafood. I have got sick on food that had no threat. Now at the store I always check the date,I always buy the finest grade, and before I cook it I smell it and touch it to make sure it is not slimy. If there is any doubt...I throw it away in the trash. I will not feed a animal something I would not eat. I am just curious how many years will the seafood be like this? I might just have to go get a fishing liscense to eat from the river, or lakes. Fish & Crabs atleast. Best of luck to the fishermen.
Vitter's Past Threatens his Re-election
Vitter's Past Threatens his Re-election: I have learned to never click or watch any of the pro liberal/Democrat videos you keep posting on YOUR site. They are always anti conservative/Republican, so I do not even waste my time opening them or watching them. I limit my i-dineout viewing and reading the local stuff. I am sure the afore mentioned video has some information showing why the people of Louisiana should not vote for him because of PAST indiscretions. However I have not seen you show us an videos of Charlie Rangle and Maxine Waters and the charges of their PAST AND CURRENT indiscretions. We know, Mr. Youngblood, that you are a Democrat, you do not have to keep trying to convince us why we should join you and vote for only liberal Democrats. I do appreciate your local reports and information, although even some of those seem to go a little beyond what is necessary.
According to RealClearPolitics.com, Vitter holds an average lead of 15.7% over Melancon (D).

went swimming recently and was noticing the female scenery and noticed all the tattoos on almost every girl out there, and thought how tacky they looked, some where in good taste, if that even applies in tattooing, but most had so many that it made them look cheap and whorey, specially with the cigarette hanging out their lips,anyway i think its time girls started looking like humans again and not like the trash theyve become.
I love how the poster who wrote his thread about women and tattoos, but never mentions the gross men with tattoos and piercing, listen Archie Bunker women have just as much rights as men these days believe it or not. I do not have any tattoos, because I do not want to meet my maker one day with bad art or cartoons all over my body, but why just point out the women? I see men with just as much or worse, and tattoos on their faces, piercing all over their heads, so why not point that out? There are just as many men out there with this ink problem as women. Many men have cigarettes hanging out of their big mouths too.
To those writing about Tatoos. Never and I mean never judge a book by its cover. My daughter recently got married to a man that has many many Tats. I could not ask for a better man to be with my daughter. He takes care of her and her special needs son better than I could wish for. He is a good and decent man. You need to watch how you judge someone.

i see where the tea party people and some republican candidates went to arizona to lend support to the immigration problem there, and pose for pictures for the cameras, god the tea partiers are a national embarrasment. a bunch of post-menopausal old women and their sexually impotent husbands running around the country looking and acting like clowns.
As of today 58 %, disagree with you and the Democrats polls drop every day. Why do you think all of those Democratic Congressmen running for reelection are staying away from Obama on the campaign trails? Look at ole Bill running for Governor, he would not even show up and take a picture with the President, but it will not help him, it is too late for him.
I notice you rant and rave about the tea party folks, but yet you say nothing about your presidents 27 hour "vacation" to the gulf coast. Why, oh why do we spend millions of dollars to fly around someone who has nothing better to do than get out of Washington for 27 hours, just to come down and step his precious toes on a florida beach. Please, give me a break. Air Force 1, costs taxpayers $56,518 per hour while in the air. This does not count the cost while it is sitting there running at the airport waiting to be re-boarded by first family. Now, you want to talk about a waste? Figure at a minimum of 1.5 hours from DC to Florida, wait time and 1.5 hours back to DC. That trip cost the taxpayers roughly $170,000 just in flight time alone. And you want to rant and rave about the tea party, when your own party is running up the debt faster than ever. Please, grow up and get informed about what exactly is going on in washington. And remember, somebody had to vote for this nightmare. I know I didn't!
The Tea Party poster needs to do some independent research into exactly what the Tea Party is all about. Has he been getting his information straight from Rachel Maddow and her ilk? Posing for photos? So what? I have not seen any politician shun away from getting his/her picture in the limelight and then spouting off their agenda. The Tea Party may not be for everyone but if they are sincere in their desire to limit big government, maintain our freedoms, reduce spending, lower our taxes and provide for the security of this country, then I am all for it. The majority of Americans want those same things. But then, when has this administration listened to the citizens of America? You should be more concerned with the thugs of SIECU and their strong arm (and sometime violent) tactics employed in their demonstrations. If the worst happens to this country, you will probably be one of the first to start complaining about how unfair it is that you can no longer submit feedback/comments to i-dineout nor anyplace else because you will no longer have that freedom. As I said, the Tea Party is not for everyone but deserves,just like any other group of folks, to be heard.
Isn't it just awful that a president would waste all of our hard earned money frollicking all over the country as Obama does! Why oh why can't we elect a president that will run the country half of the time from somewhere remote like, I don't know, say Crawford, Texas. Wonder how Bush traveled constantly back and forth---guess he walked. Remember in November--who initially screwed up the economy and who now thankfully kept your ass out of the bread lines while trying to fix it!
To the person defending obama's vacations. Wouldn't it have been better just not to bring it up? I mean come on, compairing the obama vacations to Bush's to crawford. I don't recall Laura rounding up the possie and heading overseas. This guy is on vacation once a week. Not any cheap vacations either. As far as him saving anything, where were you during the Bush presidency? Again ,the economy was fine until dems took over congress and worsened the more it looked like Obama was going to be president. only to worsen more after he was elected. Since Im sure you won't see the clips on here why dont you look up the republicans warning of the housing market crash while Barny frank and others said they were crazy. Its on video but you wont see it here. Do you really worship at the obama alter so faithfully that you will sit and listen to him tell us how "he feels our pain" and we should not waste money on things like trips to Vegas or get into credit card debt, and then defend him as he flys all over the world blowing our tax dollars like a drunken sailor on leave? Really?
to the poster that didnt vote for this "nightmare", then you most certainly voted for the nightmare of the previous administration! the one that got us in this fix, that has caused us to spend ourselves out of trouble. the one mistake obama did was that he got cold feet and didnt invest more money into the economy when he had the chance. big corporations are having a banner year sitting on over 3 trillion dollars, twice more than the stimulus, but they wont let go of the money to help the economy and the unemployed, dont hear glenn beck screaming about that huh? and as far as the tea party folks, they are self righteous, egotits that have convinced themselves that they hold all the truth, and guess what, they are self delusional, liars! there is nothing more dangerous than uber-patriots, and if there is any censoring of our rights the tea party and right wingers, will be the first to want to change the constitution, to shut down the bill of rights, because they think they have all the truth,and every one else is wrong!
To the commentor saying that I was basically stupid for voting for Bush. I have but one quote from your very own post to give back to you. "and as far as the tea party folks, they are self righteous, egotists that have convinced themselves that they hold all the truth, and guess what, they are self delusional, liars!" Isn't that basically what the Democratic party has turned into? A bunch of egotistical has beens, that are now running us into the dirt with their boots planted firmly on our necks? "You will take helath insurance whether you like it or not, or you will face the consequences Mein Heir" Gee sounds like dictatorship to me, don't know about you and your democratic err, communist eutopian world. But I will be no part of it! I know how I am going to vote in November, and you nor any of your egotistical cronies in Washington can stop me!
He might as well take a vacation once a week, what else does he have to do? All of his Democratic Colleagues in Congress are trying to stay as far away from him as possible. Nobody wants a photo opportunity with him, because all are worried about November, and they very well should be, because I bet money they are gone! All of them are gone come November!
To the "uber-patriots" poster: What is the logic in the Tea Party and/or republicans trying to change the Constitution/Bill Of Rights? The Constitution, as written, is the exact document they seem to be trying to invoke and then save and protect. If any freedoms guaranteed by that document are lost it will be because the government usurped its power and ignored the law and the people of the United States. Oh, wait, they are already doing that. By the way, you seem to conveniently forget what party was in control of Congress for the four years prior to the current person occupying the Oval Office.
to the anti uber-patriot poster, you and your pseudo save america bunch are so pathetic, always making the accusation that the government has taken away or is in the process of taking away our rights, what rights have you lost in the obama administration? you can still be a narrow minded practicing bigot as far as i can see. what rights have you lost? your right to pretend to know what youre talking about seems to be still in effect. what rights have you lost? you still have fox news and its pundits to tell you how and what to think.what rights have you lost? you are free to belive that god chose this country to be the best country on the planet, how the hell anyone knows the mind of god confuses me to no end,wrapping the cross of christ in the flag is the most dangerous mind set to come out of this tea party orgy of self indulgence. this conservative movement is like a national religion, the high priests are limbaugh, hannity, and beck. the dogmas are the drudge report, the evangelists are the tea party members,and the bible is fox news.
uber-patriot posters: I don't think anyone said that any freedoms HAD BEEN lost. I believe what was said was that IF any freedoms are lost. And now that I found out that Fox is the boogeyman it explains why so many seem to be so afraid of them. I don't watch any of the people mentioned so don't know much about what they are saying or doing. So, I will just plod along with all the rest of the folks and hope for the best.
GOP Attacks Unemployed, Social Security
RE:Maddow on: GOP Attacks Unemployed, Social Security Howdy Allen - Dingbat Maddow is a reasonably talented mouthpiece, but she is way off base with her nonsense 99.9% of the time. This time is no real exception. Your headline should probably have been something like"Maddow attacks Republicans - again (and again)" She picked out several idiots of (presumably) the GOP side of things and quoted them for an exerpt or so of what they had to say on video. We all know that NO ONE wants to dump Social Security OR unemployment. Also, very few of us out here want to continue paying unemployment for year after year. Like most of the rest of us, the unemployed should do what they can do to earn a living after being let off of one job or another. If they must wash dishes instead of being the foreman of a defunct factory, getting their hands wet is better than sitting at home unemployed for several years.That is what most of us do. Anything wrong with that? I make very little income each month, so why should I have to pay people to suck off of the rest of us for several years? Is anyone paying you to NOT work, Allen? Maddow is cute and well spoken, but she, like so many of her kind, is a pluperfect idiot. (No matter - keep smiling anyway.)
Tree Crashes Through Manufactured Home
You have to be f****** kidding. Who the hell is Lester he is the biggest idiot in the county. These that were in the house are the ones who protect your dumb ass. And you have the nerve to say they were tempting god by being in the bed. And that it is all so they can sue someone. Please I have seen the clowns that woodcock has cutting trees, they are lucky that this is the first time they have injured someone. I watched them cutting trees at my neighbors, they were cutting along the power lines and the line would spark and they would all hoop and holler like it was a game. To bad that they have injured good people instead of themselves. May god be with the Bishops and that they will be ok.
Your family is in our prayers... God Bless.
First of all, I would like to send my thoughts & prayers out to Bonnie. Now, I want to express my feelings about the 'gentleman' who gave the statement. ARE YOU KIDDING ME????? He should be apologetic at the very least, but to actually criticize the Bishop's for 'tempting God' by laying in their own bed is ridiculous. He has alot of nerve. He should be doing everything he can to help them out since he is ultimately responsible for the loss of their home and the injuries that Bonnie has received. If he had been doing his job properly, this would have never occured. He actually stated that he was supposed to be pulling the tree away from the house, but he failed at this task. To the one that gave the statement: You really should check w/the Bible before you decide to make quotes from it!!... FYI --- James 1:13 says, "Let no one say when he is tempted, 'I am being tempted by God'; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone." Looking at the context, we see that the statement is not merely "God cannot be tempted," but "God cannot be tempted by evil." JC
^^^I KNOW LESTER DID NOT JUST BLSME GOD FOR LESTER'S OOOPS..!!!!!BONNIE,,,BABY,WE ARE ALRESDY COVERING YOU IN PRAYER,,,, ,,,WE WILL ALSO COVER LESTER IN PRAYER,,FOR GOD TO GIVE HIN A BRAIN,,,,!!!!!
SERIOUSLY??? This IDIOT has the nerve to say that a police officer and a dispatcher were waiting for a reason to sue them??? Come on! They could have been killed! They have children and grandchildren! Why would they risk their lives to sue some redneck hillbilly company? Bonnie and Hugh are like an aunt and uncle to me and they are two of the most greatest people I have EVER met. These two people work hard all the time and it's supposed to be a crime that they were lying in their bed relaxing on their day off! Give me a break! This man just ticked me off to no end!!!!! Be a little compassionate. You almost killed a two people who work to keep us safe everyday! Shame on you for accusing them of being at fault here. I honestly hope they do sue you and this stupid company you work for! You are a freaking idiot!!!
Wow!!!! This idiot Lester is the result of two interbred rednecks reproducing! That in its self should be enough to send the idiot away. I will pray for the man & woman & their family.
We are praying for the Bishops here, and we are so sorry to see the pictures of their home. I think that has to be the craziest man that I have ever heard on an interview, and I really wish I could have saw his picture and not just heard the audio, because I would like to know what he looked like while he was saying that crazy rant about the Bishops. Lester, you are one crazy maniac with a chainsaw.
OMG... This would be comical if someone hadn't been injured. This dude preaching about God, when he's obviously terrified of being sued. Wow. You can't make this stuff up.
Prayers for Bonnie & Hugh. Allen... WHY o WHY did you not have a video of this interview ??? I agree with the other poster.... if it werent for being so serious, this could have been quite comical. Instead it is just sad...very sad !!!!
I WAS planning to have a tree or 2 in my backyard cut down. I think maybe I might just take my chances with a hurricane that might or might not come this way. Good to know one tree company I can mark off my list. That interview was unreal!!
What an absolute f****g moron!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe there are people that stupid or ignorant in this day and age. That's incredible for someone to have those views.
For the idiot that stated the Bishop's were testing "God's Fate", I wish I knew who you were. I would pleasently love to knuckle up on your head. You stupid fool! Our prayers are with the Bishop family.
Bonnie is my mother in law and I am disguested by what Lester D. Durham, Jr had to say about my family. My husband and I are currently stationed in Iwakuni Japan, because we are obviously so far we are learning what has happened through the internet and phone calls. Bonnie and Hugh are amazing people and to blame this on them is outragious! Mr. Durham was more worried about about Bonnie and Hugh sueing then he was for her welfare. He made it seem like the Bishops knew the company would mess up, wreck their home, put Bonnie in the hospital in serve pain, and turn our family upside down. Even though my husband and I are not able to see Bonnie right now I know she is surrounded by friends and family and in many peoples hearts as she heals. Lester D. Durham, Jr shame on you trying to cover your own butt and put blame on the victims!
It takes all kinds to make this world up but that man took the cake! To say it was an act of God, I have herd it all now. I hope that they are both ok they are very good people. If being stupid was painfull this guy would be in the ICU unit by now.
this is why u dont trust rednecks & chainsaws<<<>>> can u say LAWSUIT
I bet Lester D.Durham jr's phone number is BR549.Somebody better call it to let him know the turnip truck he fell off of is not coming back to get him.Best wishes to the Bishops.
I will be praying for your family
have never heard anything so stupid in my life. To say the Bishops were doing something wrong by being in their own bed in their own home is just amazing. The only thing wrong they did is trust that this so called tree trimming company knew what they were doing. I hope no one else ever does. I do not know Bonnie, but I hope she gets better fast. I have met Hugh and he is a professional and caring law officer who is really there "to serve and protect." I really hope things work out for them soon. It doesn't look like their home will be livable for awhile. That is terrible and what makes it even worse is this idiot saying all those stupid things. I hope they do not have to take years to sue this company and get their home repaired. It should be done immediately. I will pray for them.
What was this idiot smoking? What was his excuse for not pulling on the tree with his pickup to make it fall the way it was supposed to fall? Does this tree company even have Liability insurance? I would guess this tree company's reputation in Liberty County will soon put them out of business. If this was the only excuse he could come up with for the tree falling on this house,then he needs to be in Rusk. Why didn't he make sure the Bishops were out of the house while he was cutting down this tree? He is lucky that charges are not filed on him for negligence.
Was wondering if anyone has any news on how Bonnie Bishop is doing? My thoughts and prayers go out to them right now.
AMAZING ! Took less than 5 minutes for Lester to convince everyone in Liberty County that he is a complete IDIOT. Tempting FATE ? PLEASE ! May God have mercy on your worthless soul. Bonnie you and Hugh are in our prayers. I pray for Gods speed to your recovery. Alan , just one question. How hard was it for you not to ask Lester WTF are you talking aboout ? For once it would have been ok for the Press to unleash. Lester you dont even need a SIGN to show your stupid. You do a fantastic job without one ! Lester, I know you will never recover from your terminal illness because you cant fix STUPID !
I feel bad that the Bishop's have to go through this. I hope and pray Bonnie recovers 100%. I have had tree work done recently by Sorrel's Tree and Lawn Service and the they know what they are doing and they don't play around. Alot of my neighbors were very pleased with their work also. I had heard about Woodcock from a few of their past customers and they had nothing positive to say about them.
This is a disgrace. What he said to that reporter was a total shock and careless on his part. Why would someone want to put their life on the line to sue a company? Ridiculous... And to bring God into the way he did, shame on you. Whoever was on that ladder cutting the tree never needs to cut another tree in their life, very unprofessional. My prayers are with the family
To all the folks that don't know, if you hire a tree service and they pull a ladder out to do their sawing off of THEY ARE NOT TRUSTWORTHY!
What was the name of the tree company? Who is the owner?
I cannot believe this man. He needs to get on his knees and pray about what he has said about this nice family. I too have had Sorrell's Tree and Lawn Service work for me. They are very professional and showed me proof of their insurance up front. I would recommend this company to anyone.
To Lester Durham Jr... You have opened mouth and hurt a family that is already hurting. Also do not make quotes about the bible when you obviously know nothing about it. Bonnie please get well and may god bless you.
Woodcock works hard and damn accidents will happen life goes on
GOP Attacks Unemployed, Social Security
You can live without receiving SSI or unemployment. We were poor but my dad never received ssi or unemployment. He was an honest hard working man. I worked 48 years in the petroleum industry & paid more social security than I will ever receive. Both are socialist benefits.
Did you all notice the date she abused the innocent baby? October 2005, is that ridiculous or what? I don't know what the DA's office has been doing for five years, but it sure hasn't been doing their job. Ever since this happened I have not been able to forget about this like the DA's office has because I personally knew the baby girl and it was so disturbing. I have never understood how they were letting this case go on for so long and just allowing her to stagger around our county. To all you readers, let's give Liberty hell until this B***H gets what she deserves for brutally murdering an innocent 6 week old baby. I am so thankful for this DWI and it being posted because now it is all back in the public eye.
Who names their kid Martina Martin? What a sick, sick, trio of "adults."
With most disturbing utterly disgust with Liberty County... NO Health care for citizens...NO Higher Education for our youth....NO programs that will justify having a local goverment at all ... Now getting away with murder of children, in this state? I thought was it was Capital punishment. Along with the fact that that these guilty morons are free to do what they will, risking others of there safety NO JUSTICE!!! And I wonder had these people been black or hispanic you can bet there would be jail time for sure.
This is so sad for those children and such a miscarriage of justice. If there were still unfiled charges pending (no compliant or indictment), that would be bad enough. But then one could assume that the police are waiting on some type of technology or evidence that is lacking to solidify the case. But the fact that a Grand Jury has issue indictments on all 3 people years ago and the DA has not pushed to put them on the Courts docket is mind blowing.
This is a heartbreaking story. Those poor babies. Why is the docket so crowded that these cases have not yet come to trial? Certainly, they've been tried in the court of popular opinion, but where is the trial by jury of their peers? And who will they be able to get to serve on this jury? How can these so-called parents sleep at night? Allen, thanks for doing your job, but I'm not sure I wanted to know this.
If the District Attorney had a problem with his cases then why did he present them to the Grand Jury? Well he did present them and 12 good citizens felt there was probably cause for the Defendants to be formally charged with these crimes and stand trial on the same. This is a slap to the grand jury system. Furthermore, if these people would endanger and kill their own children, how safe are the rest of the public with them out on the streets. Case in point, the woman was just arrested on her 2nd DWI. I am grateful I was not sharing the road with her that day. I really feel the DA owes the citizens an explanation on these cases. I would like to hear his excuse.
I cannot believe a county would let such people walk free for so long after such treatment of kids. The courts have time for golf games and vacations and of course "ELECTIONS" Where is the justice for these BABIES ? I guess there would be no probation fees are fines to collect if they would convict the people like this and send them away. I say we hang a few on the courthouse square for the rest to see, including the justice system in Liberty County. I think the drugs and murders would stop if the CRIMINALS lost their rights the way they took their victims rights away. People done gone from the BIBLE ways. An eye for an eye.
I am so sickened by this story. My heart breaks for these children. How long will the wicked prevail? Where is the justice?
Can you say UNFORGIVEABLE???? This turns my stomach!!!!! The thought of what those children have faced... CAN YOU SAY DEATH PENALTY for ALL??? How much more are the citizens of that town going to put up with from these 3 individuals??? Can you say TAKE OUT THAT TRASH..and get them away from society once and for all??? This story just adds to my feelings... that COUNTY has always protected the PERSON responsible for CRIME..not the Victims of them!
This is not an example of a relationship going bad. A relationship going bad is when you find out your wife is cheating on you so you get divorced. Or you find out that the man you love has a secret past as a bank robber and bigamist and are so disgusted and hurt, you never want to see him again. Going bad implies the relationships were good at one time. A 16 old girl dating a 20 year old something guy was never good and then marrying him? Where were her parents? Obviously, the adults here were all seriously screwed up BEFORE they met each other and it only got worse from there as they brought kids into the mix. I'm throughouly disguted it's taken this long for the cases to come to court.
Mere words cannot express how I feel after reading this story and the others related to it. These people are the most reprehensible scum on Earth. Instead of being a "Nation of Laws", this shows it more like a "Nation of Convenience". I, like others, am so sick of all the office holders whether Democrat or Republican. Instead of fulfilling and upholding their duties, they believe that they are above the requirements and do nothing that will interfere with all the politicking and running for reelection. Why do we have any laws at all if they are not enforced. No wonder the scumbags running around committing these and other crimes have no fear of getting caught. What the hell happens when they are? They are free on bond apparently for the rest of their lives to live and do as they wish. It is time to demand that our city and county government start really earning the pay for which they were either elected or appointed. This is disgraceful, to say the least. I agree with one of the other posters when he/she suggested a little justice on the court house square. Maybe then a little fear would be put into the wrongdoers.
Looks like the DA's Office needs to get off their behind and go with this thing. I can only imagine there would be an evidence problem that is holding them back. Rest assured the good Lord above will take care of the vengence when He meets with them some day.
All 3 of them need to be locked up for life, they are the scum of this earth, that little boy will probably never have a chance in his life because of those ignorant and obviously uneducated people!
I have been called for jury duty, 18 years ago and never again, but we have cases pending since 2005, involving children being brutilized by adults, is Mike Little's office that busy? Come to court house and the 253rd and 75th District court rooms are dark and empty, most of the time. Mike Little did not prosecute or investigate, Phil Fitzgerald or Harry Kelly, taking the politically safe move and turned it over to the State/Feds on Fitzgerald. in 2012, we can solve this crap of setting on cases, where children and Little has the Child Victims day each year, but he seems to be the problem to this old boy. How does that Fontenot that works for Little, have time to be down the hall courting women in County Clerks Office. Little better get a handle on this and get it on fast, the Republicans are gunning for him, in two years. Wow only in Liberty County can this type of crap take place and 5 yrs goes by, hell i could have made the case and presented, it is a slam dunk on this white trash, bunch.
I hope Wayne from channel 13 is reading all this.The way this county is run needs to be exposed big time.The courthouse needs to be cleaned out.
Gerald Glenn Nugent Jr. was indicted on charges of Injury to a child by ommision for failure to protect because he was not there when it happened.Not because he knowingly and intentionaly caused Brook bodily harm.
At least the DA office could have presented this case and let a Jury decide this case. I can not believe they have let this linger for five years. I guess no one would have ever discovered this on going case against these baby killers if she wouldn't have gotten her second DWI. This is absurd that our Court system has let this go this long. Maybe they are waiting for the statute of limitations to run out so they don't have to get off their behinds and do anything about this. No where else can this sort of thing happen but Liberty County. No wonder the FBI is investigating things around here.
When I turn on my television all I hear are stories of babies who were given a mix drink, left at home alone for days at a time, being put in a microwave, thrown against a wall, missing or killed. This is the reason why! People think they can get away with it. Her being out on bond is an outrage. Tell me has anyone done any checking to see if she has had anymore children while she has been out on bond?does the state or county whoever have her ovaries in lockup?? What is stopping her from have more children and doing this again? What if she has a baby and it happens to cry or dirty a diaper when she doesn't want it to? Why isn't there a law protecting our children? Sure they say there is yet Martina is out on bond free to move on with her life instead of hanging from a rope, and casey anthony while being locked up is making money off of her babys death, and haliegh cummings while her body has not surfaced is presumed dead yet who has been arrested for her murder? And Kyron Horman and Gabriel, where are the arrests and convictions? I honestlly believe this is a serious problem in our country. Why hasn't the law been changed to protect the babies instead of giving the murderers the right to a fair trial? The right to an attorney, presumed innocent until proven guilty. What about the babies rights? They were innocent, and the people that were supposed to be there to protect them and keep them away from danger, turned out to be the most dangerous person. Why is this such a huge problem? News flash baby killers there are people out there who want children and can't have them. If you think yours is better off dead you have a problem! Seriously contact Rusk or somewhere to provide you with the help you need. And no the devil didn't make you do anything, you are just a selfish ass who wants sympathy and needs a reality check!
I will volunteer to shoot all 3 of these nasty white trash rednecks. If anyone in the Liberty County court house bothers to read this...... get off of your high horse and put an end to this NOW.
I am sure there would be an ample number of volunteers to form a firing squad. Make it a public affair so any other scum can witness their fate should they transgress in a similar manor.
Here is an idea, we all want our troops home with us. Why don't we send these people to the war zones to kill each other and bring our men and women home. Start with these three then just work our way through the system. Empty out the prisons by sending them all to fight for our country, where they have so many more rights than their victims. Just a thought.
These people are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. We cannot put them on trial until Liberty county sees fit. I say innocent until proven guilty. Isn't that the way it's supposed to be? I pray the truth will be heard and ALL guilty persons dealt with.I pray that ALL innocent persons be cleared and a public apology issued by the people who aired their story to the public.This has been going on too long now.Liberty county do what's right. Get the hammer away from these people so they can INDEED go on with their lives.
what a shame she will be judged accordingly by the one and only, so will everyone else that is envolved. wow how many more will suffer because of liberty co. " TRIAL PENDING "
You People have no idea what you are talking about. There has been evidence hidden for 4 1/2 years by the police dept. You want to threaten killing 3 people and have no idea what even happened. You say you care about these kids but you don't realize they read your opinions. Your opinions are not truth and until truth is known, you should keep your death threats to yourself!!
These people are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. We cannot put them on trial until Liberty county sees fit. I say innocent until proven guilty. Isn't that the way it's supposed to be? I pray the truth will be heard and ALL guilty persons dealt with.I pray that ALL innocent persons be cleared and a public apology issued by the people who aired their story to the public.This has been going on too long now.Liberty county do what's right.

Her case is back on the docket.
As a mother, grandmother & great grandmother I find it appalling that these criminals are still free. What's to stop her from moore DWI's. Besides the DWI's she is a murder of a child. These cases should come before other less criminal. They should not be allowed to be put off on the part of a defense attorney. There are also other lives to consider if she is DWI & injures or kills someone with a vehicle. Let's get these people off the street's.
First off, all you people threatening to kill, ya'll are just as bad as a murderer, rather or not they are guilty, it makes you sink down to that level of killing to be a murderer. 2nd off..nobody even knows the details as to what happened, you know all stories that make it in the news or on a website such as i-dineout will not contain all the facts, but just enough to get the attention that it needs..my point is, nobody knows the truth behind this..INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY!! PROVEN GUILTY! So I think everyone should just keep their mouth shut until everyone knows the TRUTH.
To innocent until proven guilty: First, you are right we are afforded the right to be innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. But, what you must have missed is the fact that the Liberty County grand jury, sat down, reviewed the evidence against all three, and found there was enough cause to indict them. They chose their path, now they need to walk down that path to a jail cell, and have the door locked behind them.
My problem with this is that: does it really matter which parent did what?, I as a mother could never let my children be in pain and NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT... I personally know 2 of the adults and this breaks my heart. I feel this need to HURRY UP and go to TRIAL...Brook needs Justice for her death..and BOTH PARENTS ARE WRONG..1 for doing the damage to the baby and 2 for not taking the baby to a damn doctor...what parent could allow their child to suffer. I do not think that we should become killers to get the justice that is deserved..that would be to easy...I think they should be locked up for the rest of their lives..and I think pictures of this baby should but put all over their cell walls and they should have to face her everyday, for what they did and did not do!But that is my oppion..I know if it was me they would have given me the chair, at first sign on guilt...
To the poster that said the grand jury sat down found enough cause to indict them..that still doesn't prove anything..what cause could that be? I've seen many people be indicted for things they didn't do..Mike Tyson for example..can you say set up..and somebody took her to the damn doctor..had to be one of the parents that did that..fact is there is many people that have been indicted/charged and be put behind bars but yet they were innocent..why do you think this thing hasn't been to trial yet? Because liberty county can't get off their high horses and admit the fact that they don't have any factual evidence..factual evidence that is..so let's just sit back and see what the facts are..the Truth will always prevail one way or another.
i wish i could scream out my side of the story to yall..you just do not know the facts..i did take my daughter to the hospital as soon as i got home from work that horrible night after gerald was keeping her..she was fine when i left and when i came home she was almost dead...the specialist says the injury that occurred happened within a few hours of when i got home..i was at work with witnesses and records..thank God i got home when i did or she would of died i saved her life..dont judge me when you dont know what you are talking about..and for those who say they knew the baby or that i was always messed up is a LIE and you know who you are..i worked and worked cause he wouldnt how could i know if i was not there.but there was someone there who saw...my poor oldest son who has to live with the fear of gerald and go to therapy..there is a tape that was hidden for four and a half years that proves gerald's guilt..not only that if you look in the archives he also killed another little boy back in 97. he ran the boy over in his pick up truck killing the three year old. that was never investigated so who do the nugent's know.why did mittie farley get away with kidnapping my son..because she pressed charges on steven that is not true there is no physical evidence and he is out on a pr bond he passed a lie detector test....i mean come on people know your facts before you judge why dont you go look in the mirror...
Ok, Mrs. Sellers, I admit, you have a point. No one knows your side of the story. Like always there are three... yours, Mr. Nugents and the truth. But my questions is this... if Mr. Nugent did all of what you say why in the hell did you leave your kids with him in the first place. First and foremost you are there to protect them, which you did not do! So tell us your side. Please shed some light to the situation, because I would love to know why you did not protect your kids! And please don't try to tell everyone you had no idea he did all those things. Because that just is more proof of what a sorry mother you were. You learn and check out who spends time with your children, wait let me rephrase that good parents do! So tell everyone why you shouldn't spend the rest of your sorry life behind bars. Trying to shift the blame only adds to your problems, stand up and responsibility for yourself!
This should be about whole truth. This is a gossip web site. God will reveal the whole truth and not gossip. The DA only gives the grand jury what they want them to see and anyone can accuse and get a grand jury indictment. In This Case, the grand jury only heard gossip and not truth!! The DA has a no dissmisal policy and can't admit they made a mistake to save face. Only one person is guilty in all 3 cases and that is Gerald Nugent, Jr. Martina Sellers also passed a lie detector test and had no knowledge of any abuse!
The mother of Baby Brook took her to Dr. Kelley which sent her to the hosp. one week prior to what Gerald did and they did not suspect abuse. If Professionals did not see abuse, How could the mother see it when she worked 12 hour days. How many of you trust the father of your children to take care of them? Baby Brook was only 6 weeks old and some of that time was during the hurricane. Gerald did not show an abusive side in public or around anyone. If you were there, you would not have known either. Dr. Kelley would have reported abuse had he seen it. There was an uppper GI done and showed her bones to be in perfect condition. How would you know if your pediatrician didn't?
ok first of all let me say this ..i am not a sorry mother and never have been..Gerald seemed always like a nice guy. never would have thought he would hurt my kids so i trusted the father of my children.which you're suppose to be able to..he was not abusive to me or them when i was home...he was mostly mentally abusive i think..to the kids when i was working..when i was home it was like a perfect family..then how am i suppose to know. the only reason i know he was abusive now is because for one my daughter is in heaven and for two my son is just now able to tell this to professionals because gerald mentally scared him that bad...also i took the baby to the hospital exactly seven days before cause she had acid reflux..no one there not doctors or nurses said or saw anything suggesting abuse..i have questions too i need answers for...but the only ones who can give them is my son and gerald and my son cant remember and didnt see every move that was made..gerald also confessed on tape he hit the babies head on a door while trying to get a diaper..again i was at work alot..i only knew the night i came home to the nightmare we still live today..i want to know the truth just as much as everyone else...i bathed my kids every night and never saw a bruse..someone tell me how do you know when you are around everything is perfect and then when you leave it's evil but your kids are too scared and to young to tell you so how in the hell do you know..i thought i knew someone when really he was someone else behind my back...i dont understand either...ask me more questions if i fan answer i will because i want justice and i want the whole truth every detail..that was my baby...i lost my whole family in five minutes because i thought the father of my kids was notmal and trusted him..then look what happened ...apparently you really never know anyone..
to all of you who say you knew me and my baby you are lying...maybe you know gerald and his family and want to cover up for him for some reason but there is evidence of what happened that proves im innocent...why is liberty taking so long i would like to know myself because i want my side of the story out too...you do not have the facts and when it all comes out i will be recieving my public apology..:) also what you say is not going to hurt me..me and God knows i saved my daughter's life along with professionals and i think you need to look at yourself in the mirror and leave me out of your mouths....
Anne Rice: 'I Quit Being a Christian'
Sounds like thinks got a little too close to home when she found out her son was gay. I think that maybe a common attitude. We don’t tolerate certain choices until they hit close to home and then we want tolerance. That is one thing I admire in the Muslims, they follow the rules of their religion no matter what. Christians on the other hand want to decide for themselves which of God’s rules they want to follow. Some think that it is alright to live in adultery but being gay is bad. Others will allow a gay minister to preach but will fire a minister caught in adultery. Jesus taught that looking at a woman with lust in your heart was the same as adultery. I still believe in God, study the bible but I no longer attend church. If a minister condemns gays but wont care for his sick mother-in-law, then I don’t want him teaching me what God expects. If the minister teaches tithing and giving to the poor but lives a lavish lifestyle then I don’t want his teaching either. I think my feelings go back to the story of the woman caught in adultery and Jesus said that “let the one who is without sin cast the first stone”. If you a breaking any of God’s rules then you shouldn’t condemn someone else.
so what if rice renounces her christianity, in the early church there was a term for people who were once chrisitans then turned their backs on the faith, they were known as apostates. glenn beck is an apostate, though i doubt he's clever enough to know that, now anne rice is an apostate. so she still prays and reads the bible, two practices that she received from the faith community that she now has turned her back on, so sleeping with the devil did her some good it seems.
I love Anne Rice, and I loved to read her when she was an atheist after her daughter died, I have her books by A. N. Roquelaure, and I will read her still as she writes any new books. She is one of my favorite authors from our era. I have many of her books here. If you watched her interview, she is calling out the Catholic Church and I agree with a lot she had to say. I read books by many people from different religious backgrounds and even some atheists, because nobody is going to tell me what I can or cannot read, I will read it and come to my very own conclusions. Jesus did not walk around with Kings and Queens while here, he was with the poor, the sick, prostitutes, thieves, so everybody needs to remember that and do what Jesus would do. He loved everybody! I love Jesus, and I have read many of Anne’s books, because she is one of my favorites! I also have a favorite Jewish Author!
Catholics being discriminated against. Seems all races and religions have been persecuted at one time in history, but Catholics did their share of persecuting as well. My ancestors were threatened with servitude in Mexican silver mines and had to flee Spanish Mississsippi in 1795 for conducting Baptist services. There was little religious freedom in America until Roger Williams founded Rhode Island in 1636. You may wish to read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Williams_(theologian)

the mosque that is being promoted to be built in new york near the 911 attack site, is to be named the Cordoba House after Cordoba,Spain, where 800 years of muslim economic, intellectual, and cultural growth took place,even to the present. its being promoted by american muslims who want to build a monument to peace, and patriotism that they have been a part of in their country, the united states. i think in the spirit of peace they should be allowed to build it, and we christians,jews,and others should be a part of that process,if we fight it,we should question our religious values and see if we are living our religious messages, and the call of our churches and the message of tolerance of our country.
To the person that thiks the Mosque is being built for peaceful reason's. In my opinion they are wanting to build it because they want to rub it in our faces. 3000 innocent people died because Muslims are taught to Hate Christians. Build it in Iraq.
The MOSQUE Who are you kidding .. This is just a continuation of the slaps in the face to America and you know it. Religion is religion and you do not have to bow to someone elses beliefs. Muslims destroyed the towers and muslims do not belong in any area surrounding the trade center and that's that!
Reguarding the mosque. Since 911 muslums in this country have claimed to be treated unfairly because of the many radicals sharing their faith. Very few stand up to denounce the radicals with any conviction. Very few offer any insight they might have to assist in the problem. Proof of this was the lack of any muslums offering any warning about the soldier that went on the killing spree at the military base. If these people want to be shown compassion, maybe they should show a little themselves. They are highly offended when they are grouped with the radicals, but can't show compassion for the people affected by 911.
Mere words cannot express how I feel after reading this story and the others related to it. These people are the most reprehensible scum on Earth. Instead of being a "Nation of Laws", this shows it more like a "Nation of Convenience". I, like others, am so sick of all the office holders whether Democrat or Republican. Instead of fulfilling and upholding their duties, they believe that they are above the requirements and do nothing that will interfere with all the politicking and running for reelection. Why do we have any laws at all if they are not enforced. No wonder the scumbags running around committing these and other crimes have no fear of getting caught. What the hell happens when they are? They are free on bond apparently for the rest of their lives to live and do as they wish. It is time to demand that our city and county government start really earning the pay for which they were either elected or appointed. This is disgraceful, to say the least. I agree with one of the other posters when he/she suggested a little justice on the court house square. Maybe then a little fear would be put into the wrongdoers.
Concerning the New York mosque: The poster desiring acceptance of this sacrilege is wrong about the reasoning behind the building of it. Muslims build these at or near a place of victory and not for peace. And now, obama has come out forcefully for letting them build it right where they are wanting it built and where the majority of New Yorkers and the rest of America do not want it built.
Do you find it interesting that Obama would not recognize the national day of prayer because he did not want to offen other religions but is observing Ramadan, a muslim holy day. While observing Ramadan he made his remarks endorsing the mosque near ground zero. While he denies being a muslim, his action make it very obious that he prefers that religion. Make one wonder if the true facts will every come out about his background.
before the crazies jump all over obama because he came out on the mosque issue in new york, i want to say that the pres wasnt supporting the mosque, he was supporting the first amendment. as a catholic we know what it is to be discriminated against for our faith, in the early years of this country catholics were pushed around by prostestants for years, we couldnt build our churches next to wasp buildings,and our priests and people were beaten and harrassed for years.anti-catholicsm is the ugly little secret in america, and we should be backing the muslims in their fight to build where they want, in order to protect the first amendment. this is one of obama's proudest moments.
Nobody said Muslims can't build a Mosque and worship the Devil if they want too. Build it where we are not still mourning the loss of 3000 innocent people. Build it in IRAQ.

anchor babies, terror babies? anyone could have started this idiotic bullsh&&, but it does my heart good to know it came from the right wing republican tea party of no ...when you ride by the headquarters of the republican party here in liberty be sure and wave and thank them for alerting us of the terror babies, if you see a potential candidate of the local republican party please share with them how glad you are that they are going to take care of our city and county... then ask them if they have considered industrial strength prozac...GOOD LORD what a bunch of morons!
i dont know if anyone caught the rep from texas louie gohmert on cnn, he ranted and talked over the inteviewer for 15 minutes instead of comming clean about where he got his info on the anchor/terror babies, but it was clear to me he is a liar and a fear monger, and oh yeah by the way he's a... uh...a republican lol
More Information Comes to Light after DWI Arrest
I don't understand why this women is still free, she beat her 6 week old baby girl so badly that it left her with severe brain damage and ultimately resulted in her death. She has never come to trial for that horrendous offense and she is driving around drunk taking a chance of killing someone else's baby
Lets save taxpayer money and just shoot her. She's not worth the air she breathes.
This injury and death of an infant is coming up on 5 years and still NO trial. This woman must have personal ties to our court judges for this to be passed down for this long. She needs to be held accountable for what she has done.
DWI Martina Sellers- I recall this incident with this woman beating her child! What a sick person! I seriously don't understand why she has not been charged with anything. A friend of mine lived at the apartment complex where Martina and her "boyfriend" live when this happened with her baby. She was ALWAYS on some kind of pill and would leave her baby (as a new born)alone for hours at a time. This woman would pass out on the ground outside the apartment complex she would be so messed up...with that poor helpless baby alone in the house. I really feel sorry for that sweet child and hopefully her "mother" will get what's coming to her. Martina needs some beatin' of her own...
Why is she out on bond? What else does she have to do to be taken off the street? Killing her child and driving while intoxicated is enough...
It is my understanding that Martina Sellers will never stand trail for the death of her daughter thanks to LC prosecutors office. Her husband/exhusband Steven Sellers has also been indicted for injury to a child on totally different children and circumstances. What is wrong with our system? Someone needs to get these two sickos off the street!!!
And this woman was free on bond why?????? She should be serving MANY years for the death of the child...not being allowed to drive the streets drunk where she could end up killing somebody else! I hope that NOW justice will be served for THAT CHILD... and the rest of the people she has put at risk!
Well if it happened 5 yrs ago in Liberty County, that explains why she is free!
To the person who wrote in saying, "A friend of mine lived at the apartment complex where Martina and her "boyfriend" live when this happened with her baby.

This woman would pass out on the ground outside the apartment complex she would be so messed up...with that poor helpless baby alone in the house." I want to ask you, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU! Why didn't you and your friend report this to the police and CPS? You said she was passed out outside while her baby was inside the apartment alone, and no one did ANYTHING to help this baby? If you had called the police while she was passed out outside the baby would have been taken by CPS immediately and taken to someone who would have taken care of it and the child would be alive today!
It is my understanding that Martina Sellers will never stand trail for the death of her daughter thanks to LC prosecutors office.

Where is the murder charge? Her actions led to the babys death but I haven't seen anything about a murder charge. Why? I thought that if a child under the age of twelve was murdered it was a capital offense. I don't care how you look at this it is MURDER! Shake and beat her until she's in the same state the baby was and then hold a picture of baby in front of her and pull the plug! These are times I wish we still hung people! Or had had a firing squad! What is the world coming to when murderers walk and drive the same streets we do????
And this woman was free on bond why?????? She should be serving MANY years for the death of the child...not being allowed to drive the streets drunk where she could end up killing somebody else! I hope that NOW justice will be served for THAT CHILD... and the rest of the people she has put at risk!
To the response of the person who asked why cps or the police were not called, actually my friend that lived at the apartment complex actually did call cps. CPS did come to her house but found "nothing". I only know some of these things by which my friend told me. Do you know how many other's lived at this complex? It' not my fault or my friend's fault this baby had to go through what she did. We remember seeing the police over there several times, so for you to say "what's wrong with me????" Believe me, if I had ANY idea her actions would have led to that baby's death i would have walked in her house myself and got that baby. It's wrong for you to try to "blame" me or my friend without even knowing ANY of the actions that were taken because WE called CPS and other's did call the police...call them and blame them for not doing anything....seriously
Burglary Suspect Flees Hospital after Treatment
HANDCUFFS, Did the LPD think to use HANDCUFFS ? In the picture you posted yesterday the suspect was'nt wearing any HANDCUFFS while being treated at the scene either. Pass this on to LPD USE HANDCUFFS !
In response to your story regarding the burglary suspect who escaped the custody of the LCSO Tuesday morning...It was approximately 9:30pm when my 9 year old daughter spotted a "creepy man" on our street in Travis Park. He went up to my neighbor's front door and then into our yard & up to our front door. It was then that I called the Liberty Police Dept. to report a suspicous person in our neighborhood and on our property. Apparently this "suspect" had been on the loose for quite some time and we were never warned of his possible presence in the area. Thank goodness the Liberty Police Dept. responded quickly and apprehended him inside Travis Park....he was WELL inside the entrance to the subdivision. "Thumbs down" to the LCSO for putting everyone in our area in jeopardy and never notifying anyone.
This thung likes to push his luck. He will not live to long if he keeps this up.
It is not fleeing or evading detention. He was already under lawful arrest on a felony charge. The proper charge is Felony Escape.
It pretty pathetic how suspects are always getting away from lcso wht is up with that, like some other feedback has fully acknowledged where were the handcuffs. To me burglary is a violent crime he should be handcuffed to the stretcher, and then cuffed to the hospital bed BAAM problem solved while your at throw in some leg irons....GOOD JOB LPD.....since county cops can't do there job correctly...hell a corrections officer could have done better
To the person stating to the LPD to use handcuffs you should be saying that to LCSO not LPD. The guy ran from the hospital without handcuffs on
I do agree LCSO messed up big time on this escape but I'm wondering how they were supposed to notify everyone in Liberty of the escape, do we have a super-duper giant PA system, that’s cool! Oh wait I guess they were just supposed to notify Travis Park. Because I'm sure they are supposed to have ESP to know exactly where he was going... wait no.. if that were the case notification wouldn't have been necessary because he would have been caught… Again I say.. LCSO screwed up pretty bad on this one. But, geez… reality check people!
To the person bad mouthing Liberty PD, it was our Liberty County Sheriff's Dept., that was responsible not Liberty PD, they captured the punk, in Travis Park. Our current Sheriff, cannot be indicted soon enough, to rid us of his poor management and gang of crooks he has running things. All, the Deputies are just biding time, till a change is made at the top of this snake, that is the worst maybe in Liberty County. Blame the right bunch, Liberty PD has a great Chief
Re: the person asking how Liberty County could notify people of a dangerous situation. Yes we do have such systems....reverse 911 calling and the Nixle system. Both would be very effective in notifying people.

I recently found out that one of the two boys responsible for beating a boy on July 27, 2009 and then stealing his deer feeder might be released from jail by Christmas. This is appaling to me as the boy has an extensive juvenile criminal record and the family as a whole is nothing but a menace to Liberty county. I have been a vicitm of this family's theiving ways but could not stop them. He was responsible for thousands of dollars of wire theft in Tanner Settlement in Hardin in 2008 and thousands of dollars of damage to my farm. Two of his brothers (one of which was involved in this crime) have done time for drugs and their mother is a know menace in Liberty for both her behavior and for drugs. The only thing this boy will do once released is reoffend as he has no education and no way to support his family except to steal from us. What will that teach his young son? We need to speak out about this type of criminal. To the boy who was assulted, please go speak to the judge and parole board. Demand that Kaleb Jackson remain behind bars for his entire sentence.

The rumor is that mentally disadvantaged students will be "fully integrated" in LISD this fall. Could someone who knows please explain why? Some of these kids have disabilities that prevent them from communicating, controlling bodily functions, and are confined to wheelchairs. To put them in classes with kids trying to learn Science, Math, and English is subjecting the mainstream kids to disruptions and distractions. Will there be a "life skills" teacher aide accompanying them to classes? Will the teacher be expected to attend to these kids and teach as well? Some of these disadvantaged kids do not even live at home with their parents, they live in group homes. They attend public schools until they are 22 years old. I do NOT approve of "warehousing" disabled kids, but this is just not right.
Unfortunately, mainstreaming is the law. Get informed and start voting for change (at state and national levels). We need to send Austin and Washington a message. This is why we cannot keep teachers in the classrooms (that, and obnoxious parents)!
To the poster about special students in LISD classes: go to www.libertyisd.net and click on The Rumor Is and then post your question and the supt. will answer your question or questions about LISD.
"The rumor is that mentally disadvantaged students will be "fully integrated" in LISD this fall." Children in special education have been mainstreamed in 'normal' classes for several years now. Each student who needs an aide has one. You say you don't approve of warehousing kids with special needs but I'm not so sure after reading your hate-filled letter. Would you prefer that they put them in a barn out in the back 40 so your precious children don't have to be exposed to them or 'held back' by them? Put them to sleep perhaps? Thank God you're not the parent of one of these special children. And I thank God every day that I am. Something tells me you would not have sent that ugly letter to i-dineout if you had to sign your name to it.
Give me an autistic child in my classroom any day over the "normal" child who has bullied the other students, stolen items from my desk, has repeatedly disrupted the classroom, and has a list of office referrals a mile long.
The Americans with Disability Act was passed by the congress of the United States of America.Everyone is entitled acess to public buildings and a education.The trend in education is called "inclusion". My daughther's own IQ is one point from the "normal" range of intelligence. This one point gap enables her to know she is" different" from other people. She wants to be normal,to be like her peers.The world has begun using slang into our everyday language ,"Thats so retarded". My daughter says, I may be retarded, but I ain't stupid!I hear these phrases from people who are insenitive to the true meaning of these words. Being around mentally challenged people make all of us better human beings and more sensitive.People need to practice compassion and love. It's what God teaches us . So many people are being dignosised with learning differences, thank goodnes public schools must address these diferences and adapt to the students special needs. I believe this, has slowed the drop out rate. Some students have high IQ's but learn differently. Without intevention, they too feel different or stupid, and drop out of school. They end up on drugs to ease their pain.They also may rob to support their habit. So I believe that education is important for everyone in a community. If we have good schools, and address educational needs of every student, the rate of crime is lower in a community. Its a win, win for everyone.Lets all choose our words more carefully. We can all learn more about ourselves when we are around people who have differnces. You may even be a role model for them .I believe we are more alike than we realize. We are all human beings. Our mothers loved us before we were born.Lets start expressing kindnes to each other.Remember, "there for the grace of God go I". One stroke, one car accident, injury...
To the person who doesn't want his/her kids in the same area as disabled kids: This is the saddest thing that I have heard from anyone. You should be ashamed of yourself!! I bet your child is the type that stares at kids with disabilities. The type of child who wouldn't even consider talking to a disabled child, whether it be a physical disability or a mental disability. You are making your child develop negative feelings about the other kids just because you decide to alienate the disabled child. This should not be done!! And no, I do not have a disabled child, but I have two kids who do not see the difference and will approach any child without being predjudice about their disabilities. A child is genuinely sincere and should not be ruined by the ridiculous thoughts of the parent. I am sorry, but I found this post very sad!!
I am very much in favor of the mentally disadvantaged children being mainstreamed into the regular classroom. It's beneficial to both sides. The handicapped kids learn the social skills needed to function in a "normal" world and the regular kids learn to appreciate and accept the learning disabled kids as fellow humans. I do, however, feel sorry for the classroom teachers. I don't know of a single classroom teacher that wouldn't welcome and love these mentally disabled kids, but it does create more work. Each year more and more work and responsibility is being piled onto our classroom teachers. When will the final straw be added?
Re: mentally disadvantaged kids There's a difference between a child who can with autism, down's syndrome, etc., and one who cannot control their bodily functions. As non-politically correct as it may be, a child who has uncontrollable random vocalizations and soils his/her pants is a distraction to other children in a "regular" classroom
I am the original poster about mainstreaming disadvantaged kids in classrooms. I apologize to those that became upset over what I wrote, but I specifically said I didn't believe in warehousing disabled kids. I certainly don't think they should be put in a barn and of course, not put to sleep. I think you may have read more into my post than I wrote. My issue is with kids that are near totally disabled, that cannot communicate or control their bodies. They only verbalize in screams. They require constant attending and can only be a disruption to the learning process of their classmates. That is not fair to those other students. Certainly kids that are mildly disabled should be educated. My perception is that our schools have evolved into serving the top 10% and bottom 10% much better than the remainig 80%.
"My perception is that our schools have evolved into serving the top 10% and bottom 10% much better than the remainig 80%." You've hit rock bottom & started digging. You not only don't want special needs children to be in a classroom with your precious children, but you consider them & my child included, to be the "bottom 10%". You've shown who & how you are. Again, I'm glad you're not a parent of a special needs child. What a hateful person you are.
Woman Shoots at Intruder in Her Home
The cops had better put that piece of trash away for a long time. I live in Moss Hill and I promise that I'm better armed and a better shot than the homeowner in this story. I hope I never get to be the castle doctrine's poster child, but I will if I need to.
Great shooting ma'am and great work by the neighbors and Liberty County So for responding so quickly. Hopefully they have room enough for the young man to spend some time in Huntsville.
Go girl! Aim for the tattoo on his chest next time! ;)
Too bad the sheriff's department wasn't able to keep him in custody. After being taken to the hospital, he escaped and was wandering up to homes in Travis Park. The worst part...there was no attempt made by the Sheriff's department to notify residents in the area. The police department apprehended the man when the S.O. failed to keep him detained.
What happened to the fugitive on the run Sat night we heard about on KSHN. I was eating dinner at chilis and two sheriffs officers where eating and as we where leaving the jumped up out of there seats and where running to the patrol cars heading out to Hardin. So did they find this guy on the run? What kind of warrents did he have? Just wandering. Have not heard anything else about it.
Way to go to the homeowner.. That was fast and brave thinking. I am glad the guy is back in custody thanks to our local City of Liberty Police Department.. Way to go guys!!
I believe repeat offenders should have to serve their full sentence. I also believe someone who chooses to break the law a third time should be shot. After all, they've proven after three chances that they have no intention of abiding by the law. Get rid of 'em so they won't continue to be a threat or a drain on my tax dollars.
one more bad guy down! all the more reason/reason's to show support for thee nra.as they work so hard to defend the right to keep and bear arms for all the god fearing,hard working,tax payers of this great country.what if the home owner did not have a gun? how long would it have taken law enforcement to get there?should of finished the job to save the tax payers a lot of money ! have a nice day !
To the woman that shot at this burglar, they have a shooting range at Hardin. Practice makes perfect.
BP Charged With Additional Violations At Texas City Refinery
This is responce to what the Texas A.G'S is looking at as far as fines go for BP Texas City no less than $50 and no more than $25,000 per day are YOU KIDDING ME? All BP is going to do is pay the fines out of petty cash and go on with business as usual. They don't care about the fines as long as they can continue operating. In my mind if they were to not have their TCEQ Permit renewed due to non compliance with regulationsthen they might actually care!

Anyone who doesn't understand why conservatives will work harder than ever to win in coming elections needs to realize we are increasing federal government employment by 14.5 percent this year.We are still spending like drunken sailors.Governent should at a minimum downsize by attrition. When people retire do not rhire a replacement. Move around existing employees but do not run up our bills in a bad economy.

Taxpaying Citizens: Warning: If you are conducting business at the Liberty County Sheriff's Office per Captain Green, the area right where you pull in the parking lot is off limits. "IT IS A FIRE ZONE" but only for the citizens not for the Officers. You will receive a ticket per Sgt. Slaughter if you park there. He needs to park there and not in the parking lot, just feet away because he is conducting "POLICE" business. Sgt. Slaughter get off your high horse and Captain Green stop with the cover of your officers. We all pay taxes and should all have to abide by the same rules with the exception of Emergencies, that is a different story! Sincerely, Mrs. Walk the extra feet
Taxpaying Citizens: Warning: Response - Mrs. Walk the extra feet, to my knowledge the fire lanes are for emergency vehicles. What type of business were you conducting at the sheriffs department that would require you to park in a fire lane? I have been there a couple of times to conduct business with the department before and have not had a problem finding a parking place that is clearly marked fire lane or sheriffs department only and yes I had to walk a few extra steps to get to the office. If the officers inside need to respond to a call, they need to leave in a timely manner without delays from the parking lot. I believe they can have your vehicle towed at your expense for parking in a marked fire lane and give you a ticket. It sounds like you didn't recieve either one but you want special treatment.
to the complainer about the fire lane tickets---Check the LAW--only the City Fire Marshall can issue a citation for parking in a fire zone. As for towing--any Pease Officer can have your vehicle towed if it is presenting an issue.
Anyone that has the ignorance to speak in a negative light about Sgt Slaughter is very small minded to say the very least. One of the finest lawmen in or around Liberty County, Sgt Slaughter is always above board and if he asked you not to park in the area, than I can assure you he did so with dignity and good reason We need more like Sgt Slaughter in that department and throughout all law enforcement agencies I can assure you of that.
After reading the comments towards the citizen, it appears as though no one heard what was said. My understanding is that the citizen realized that they were wrong by saying it was a fire zone, which is illegal parking. It appears that again the police of Liberty County are exempt from the laws. Is everyone saying that it IS okay for the police to just park in a fire zone because they are police. As far as SGT Slaughter, you must be a personal friend, because he does not fit the description of the person you described. Or maybe he is this wonderful person if your are in his click. Laws are not made for certain groups, they are for everyone. The taxpayer was wrong but Sgt Slaughter and any other officer is wrong if they freely park in a fire zone. Can't we all just follow the laws, the world would be a better place!
You are absolutely right, if the parking spot is for "FIRE ZONE" vehicles the only vehicles that should park there are fire trucks, not private citizens, like yourself OR police/sheriff vehicles. But remember the law of the land in Liberty County is "Do as I say do, NOT as I do!
Sgt. Slaughter? Brent Slaughter? Can't Patterson find any new officers? First Kelley, bnow Slaughter. I won't even go in othe travls d adventures of Slaughter.

My 84 year-old mother paid her utility bill the other day. She asked the clerk if she was on the list for over-65. The clerk told her no, you have to prove it. Mother asked, can't you see I'm over 65? NO, I need to see your driver's license. The gentleman standing in line, who is 70+, had to show his license as well. What happened to courtesy?
To the person who feels it was not courteous of the city employees to request identification for elderly individuals: The problem is the employee might have been able to tell that the customers were over 65, but without an identification she has no idea if they are who they claim to be. For example, although I am 40 years old, I could have my 86-year-old grandmother go into the office and claim to be me. If enough people took advantage of the courtesy you desire the clerk to have, the "over-65" list could end up being very long.
To the poster of the 65 and over line. That line IS pretty long, d*****s. Just look around.

Wed. my grandaughters car broke down between Hardin and Mosshill. For over 2 hrs in the heat I watched 4 Liberty County Cops and 1 Black and White pass us by without stopping to offer help. Its a shame because the next day they were all over this area giving tickets but they don't have time to help a 60yr. old lady and 3 teenagers, and our hood was up so it was evident we were broke down. Protect and Serve. Ha!
Good story & beautiful pictures. Yes, there is much more to do & see in Beaumont than you would think & it's much easier to get around in Beaumont than Houston. The City of Beaumont should advertise more.

I think it's funny that someone is making fun of Allen's story, "A Reporter's Day". Apparently, the writer of the feedback never looked at the name of the website they're on. It says: I-DINEOUT! What part of "dine out" is so hard to understand for your pea brain? Who would have thought a website owner, writing about a dining experience, with the website having "dine out" as their name, would be beyond the comprehension of a grown person! Spouting off with the Beaver Cleaver reference has only served to make you look like Eddie Haskell, yet dumber.
Priceless! Absolutely Priceless! I wish you at least 3 more wonderful experiences in Beaumont, Texas just like the one that you just shared with us. Then again! Maybe the Liberty County Court house will give you reasons to visit a news release put on by the U.S. Attorney's office in the near future. Thank You Allen
Allen, loved the story about your trip to Beaumont and your lunch, which made me hungry. The part that made me laugh was thanking the Crooks, who got you out of town. It may not be long before you go back again, for Patterson's announcement of being indicted, since he signed Official Government Papers, isn't that one of the things that took down a County Treasurer at midnight, with Judge Cain's bench being the dining room table. So, hopefully, Patterson's signature, will produce the same results. Then maybe we will get a Sheriff that does the job and the deputies, respect him, for doing the job.
Gee, Wally maybe we can take Allen the Beaver out more often. It is really good for a "reporter" to get out and about ever once in a while and little Beav is set on being a reporter.

Here's a unique idea. Let's get a "reporter/journalist" to track the money after it was paid out by Lee. That would show who may be a praty to this crime. I'm guessing it is a lot easier to let the AG do the leg work and report on what they have to say then stir the pot a little with your own questions and ideas. How are y'all going to feel when you get to end of the line and Henry is still innocent? Are you going to report and say "I'm sorry, I made a mistake." I know that won't happen!
I agree..downtown Beaumont is very refreshing today. I had the pleasure of living in Beaumont for about 3 months last year. On this particular journey I did much walking..which included a daily foot commute downtown. I enjoyed that part of my stay very much! It is my opinion as well that the improvement to that area of Beaumont does deserve much credit..Thanks for the post, I enjoyed it very much!
Just goes to show you what is out in this world when you get out from behind the keyboard. Kind of hard to eat through the internet.
I loved your story on Beaumont, and I have been shopping there for years. The pictures were great. If Liberty does not have it, I find it in Beaumont! I could not believe you have not been there for years, it is the place to go, and try Floyd's seafood out, because we love that place.
Harry Kelley Indicted on Federal Weapons & Conspiracy Charges
The smoke we have been seeing over the Liberty County Sheriff's Dept., was not a mirage, but truly a fire blazing. Harry Kelly, you are a crook and have been a crook, since your real estate days and you will be a crook, when they slam the lid on that pine box. Next, smoke to turn into a fire, will be in the office of Sheriff Henry Patterson. I have told everyone that when the ATF was involved, they get their crooks and I knew that the fellow, who owns the Gun Range in Humble, would roll on Harry Kelly. Now, to complete it, Patterson signed off on an Official Record and that makes his goat smelling A** guilty of some crime, mostly stupidity and a very short work day, and the mice played, while he was tending the goats, like now, he puts in a good hard 4hrs a day and proud he does, and never makes a major crime scene, in 20 months. Thanks Allen Youngblood, good reporting as usual!!
About time we seen some action on the gun thefts by Mr. Green. Has he been suspended yet? And hopefully without pay! Hang on Henry Patterson---YOU ARE NEXT!!!!!!!!!
Harry Kelly needs to put the sheriff in his ass pocket when he goes before the Beaumont Federal Judge. Let the sheriff explain all of that illegal nonsense. Who's the boss in this situation?
Bad comparison, whether we like it or not Janet Harellson is working on turning over the last of the things she was found guilty of. She has won allother appeals. Kelley can only hope. Plus the voters elected Harellson while this goofy sheriff chose Kelley. And last but not least, John Archer was the catalyst who nailed Harellson for her abuse of office and arranging a party for her imprisoned convict son. It was handled over the holidays with witnesses to make sure it was of record. Kelley's arrest doesn't need allof that, it is an outside law enforcement group that is well respected and no one can invent a conspiracy theory with them involved. Well, no sane person can.
3 BLIND MICE....HEY,PATTERSON,,,PACK UR BAGS... ....UR NEXT.....
Well, who was Harry's supervisor? Boy what a deal that was made to keep the others out of deep trouble. Truly a bunch of crooks. This my friends is what give us law enforcement officers the bad name. He really needs to serve some serious time. And so does Jim, Steve and Henry for being a part of it. Thanks, Alan.
He better enjoy the special treatment while he can. They allowed him to appear at the court when he should have been taken in cuffs like anyone else that is accused of something like this. He should serve the max time if he is found guilty and I bet they have everything lined out and ready to throw the book at him. I bet they are still snooping around on the others that were involved or had knowledge of this.
HEY I AM NOT WORRIED U HENRY HATERS HE IS A GOOD MAN. JUST TO LET YOU KNOW I HAVE ALREADY RECRUITED ENOUGH VOTES TO WIN. SO HENRY DONT WORRY ITS ALL GREG ARTUR SUPPORTERS THAT DONT LIKE YOU. CAUSE HE LOST AND THEY LOST LUCKY THE REST STILL EMPLOYED CAUSE HENRY FEELS BAD FOR THOSE BASTARDS.
The commenter who said "they" have secured enough votes for Patterson to win in 2012, if he makes it that far, without being indicted himself. You are true goofball, and know nothing about politics or maybe you are that "Internet Blogger", who also has grandiose ideas about himself. He touted he got Patterson elected; now he is calling Kelly a Democrat and Patterson a former Democrat (Kelly never ran for office, so his party is not germane to the discussion). If, you think you can call an election with two (2) plus years to go, you must be a psychic, or just another nut, that thinks they have gotten enough votes to secure Patterson's re-election, two years in advance, which is absolutely crazy. Also, to the commenter that says Harrelson, has nearly got all her cases over-turned, is not aware of the legal system in the USA. The appellant courts can over-turn all the felony convictions and then DA, Mike Little, can re-file them, present them to a Grand Jury, and be true-billed and she will go back to court in this county and can be found guilty again, right here in Liberty County. Double Jeopardy in the constitution only pertains to being found "not guilty", then that person cannot be tried again for that crime. It is amazing that people know nothing abut our election process or the laws of our land, but guess you do not learn it in a tattoo parlor.
No one in Liberty County media, except i-dineout, in its excellent video of the news conference mentioned the gun store owner, Mr. Lee. As in previous post, I said he would be the person to help the ATF get Kelly indicted by a Federal Grand Jury. Well, it was kind of slipped under the rug, but the gun store has already been charged, but US Attorney, did not want to discuss it, since he knows a deal as already been cut, for his help with getting Kelly indicted. Also, if you believe that Harry Leroy Kelly, pled "not guilty" and walked out of the Federal court with no bond being set, back to freedom, without something being done before hand with Federal Prosecutors, to help connect the dots to Henry Patterson, that is why the US Attorney said the investigation is on going, but Patterson is not the target. Then the US Attorney said the investigation will be continuing and if anyone knows anything get it to us, so it can be investigated. I think that maybe you have to read between the lines, if they have indicted Lee and Kelly, the two main fish, why is investigation continuing and why would a man with 100+ Felony Charges, with punishment on 103 of them could bring 10 years each in Federal Prison, walk to freedom with, just his 'good name' for bond. They have a grand plan and Patterson is the missing link, he held the second key to the door and had to know that 500+ guns was missing, and some paperwork, he had to have signed, that is why Patterson, approached Chief Hines, to let them do something with the guns to benefit Cleveland PD and Ike Hinds said NO! We may be in overtime, but the game continues into extra innings. I-Dineout, Leader in Liberty County News!
I guess I just think differently than some of the people that write in. I wait for the trial to decide if there is guilt and when it is an outide agecy I am veryslow to even consider cnspiracy. The person saying some don't understand the system needs to realize the system is the best in the world partially because of th appeals court I am no fan of Harrelson but I can tell you beyond the shadow of a doubt that District Attorney Mike Little will not be refiling charges against her. I can aslo tell you if Henry Patterson has committed a crime there is too man years of prison possible for somene not to testify against him. Hold your gun powder, i he s gilty you will not have to scream from the mountaintop and sound so vindictive, the courts will calmly pronounce their decicion and no one, regardless of the decision, will be able to blame it on local politics.
THE SHERIFFS DEPARTMENT THERE IS NOTHING BUT CONTINUED PROBLEMS UNDER THE PATTERSON LEADERSHIP. HENRY PATTERSON " STEP DOWN"
I have never met he man in this story. Can someone carify exactly what happened. Kelley was suppose to take guns that had been confiscated and sell them and use te money to buy what the Cleveland Police Department needed? What did he actually do? Cindy Horswell of the Chronicle rported that the Patterson man is not even a suspect. What is it people are saying he did on here? There are too many lines to read between for those of us who are unfamilar with the details of this story. No one in my corner of te world knows anything about this. Please get us all up to speed.
Allen - referring to the video, "Harry Kelley Indicted on Federal Weapons & Conspiracy Charges," that is a very professional and informational effort. Thank you very much.
the trouble with the sheriff's department is the direct result of the paranoia against obama in the last election that put patterson in office in the first place. patterson was no more qualified to be sheriff than a well trained monkey, and that was proven in every interview that he gave in the local media, he came across as a person with a limited intellect and a confused agenda,but because he ran as a republican, and every one that bought into the virulent anti obama crusade at that time voted republican he was elected,and the better man was defeated. patterson brought with him kelly and god knows what else, the only ones to blame for this are the paranoic anti democratic voters, who let themselves be seduced by the dark side of politics. after that election ever person who wanted to get elected for any office in this god forsaken county or city is now a republican, only for the votes and not for any type of values or commitment to justice, just the votes. so we are reaping what we sowed. our personal biases and prejudices are at play here, we let ourselves be seduced and climbed in bed with the darker angels of our nature, to take liberty with mr.lincolns' quote, and i dont think there's enough decency out there to fix the problem.
Another good article with some real good links. Thanks

SILAS PARKS Well, we now know the value of life in Idaho. Mr. Parks received 40 years in prison, but must only serve 20 years for killing his wife, Sara, and his unborn, but viable baby girl. I probabl, won't be around in 20 years, but hope those who are younger and care will be there to argue against his release.
Yes, I too was hoping that for 2 murder convictions(Sara and her baby) plus the arson to cover it up,and that Silas would get the death penalty.But,it was tried in Idaho.Unfortunate that it wasn't in the great state of Texas,where we still execute worthless punks. Now my best hope and prayer for him is that some other turd will kill him in prison.Hopefully it will be slow and agonizing.He is is about as low as they come.I hope his death reflects that.May God Bless all of us that miss her.

I would like to know why Dayton's football stadium does not have an elevator? If it is state required how did they get by this item when buiding?
I believe the Dayton football stadium renovated one side of the stadium, the original press box is still present, it didn't require an elevator when it was built, so Dayton exploited that loophole.

What is wrong with the city lawnmowers? Everywhere you look around town is weeds.The parks are in horrible shape.I would think all this in the hot weather could be a fire hazard.
RE: City lawn mowers, have you noticed that the new city hall grounds are manicured by a contractor? City employees spend hours and hours mowing the City Park and do a good job. I guess it costs too much to haul a mower from the park to city hall. But wait, jail trustees keep the court house looking good. And city hall is right across the street? Politics-Liberty county.
Ugh I guess you haven't been to the city park in awhile.Does not look good anymore and by the way the contractors no longer do the city hall.

Highway Robbery! So many good folks in Liberty write in to feedback screaming about welfare cheats. Food stamp users using cash for beer and cigarettes. Lazy people who don't want to work etc. They are living the good life on $600 or so a month. Of course all of them are illegals. Well, let me suggest another abuse of tax payer money. Namely, the Hospital district. Do you mean to tell me that they are going to use my (our) money to pay a private corporations back taxes and utility bills? Highway Robbery. Do you mean to tell me that they bought a dilapidated building just to have an emergency room with no doctor in sight? This to me is worse than any welfare cheat buying cold beer. It's corporate welfare. I didn't want to own a hospital. I wanted indigent people to have access to health care if they couldn't afford it. It would have been far cheaper just to pay for the folks that couldn't afford health care than owning that hospital. Actually, owning a building for board meetings, paying taxes on that ........shucks!
To the commenter talking about the hospital district buying the old hospital, even though we all holler about welfare cheats. People talk about people living on welfare, but I know one individual that works 8+ hrs a day, Monday through Saturday and some Sundays, for minimum wage in Liberty County. This person suffers from diabetes and high blood pressure, and has birth defects that probably would be considered disabling. So, over a year ago, this person got a job, working 12 hrs a day, 7 days a week, with 2 days off a month. They were able to use the hospital district for going to a doctor and prescriptions, until working 7 days a week, 12 hours a day, so their salary increased to $200 over the Liberty County Hospital district guidelines, and off they came of the hospital district benefits. The person had to quit the job and go back to minimum wage, working 6 days a week, and wait a year to be reviewed to get the medical help back, and in the mean time, the hospital district dropped the level of income to be eligible. This person is a single person, and also lost most of their Section 8, for a year, increasing their rent 300%. So, if I was in that person's place, I damn sure would not work, like they do for nothing, every day and still not be able to afford insurance or decent housing, and no children are involved, the person is over 50 yrs of age. The person does not smoke or drink and is in church every Sunday, and that is how they see a future is through their religion. I have a college degree and always made great money and lived in a nice brick home and now get a pretty decent retirement, because of hard work that I did, not a rich set of parents. If, I had been thrown down as much as the good old USA has this person, then I would have called it quits years ago, and lived off welfare, food stamps and probably would have sold dope. I am not tough enough to survive like this other person, but they are Black and used to having walls dropped on them, but I am white and have had it to good in America, by getting benefits to help me finish high school and even getting a grant to attend college. So, we should at least have to have a place to lay our head and affordable health care, if you have diseases that was gene related. So, yes, I agree, the Hospital District is a money making machine and a tax drain on folks and do not give affordable heath care, but buying old buildings, Is what they do best and probably have taken advantages of some Hospital District perks, themselves. Shame on you, Liberty County Hospital District.

House Minority Leader John Boehner outlined the top three measures he'd pursue if he becomes Speaker of the House next Congress to create new jobs. But, those who thought he'd outline specific programs and how they would create jobs were disappointed with a familiar litany of wish-list items: repeal health care reform, eschew climate legislation, and renew the Bush tax cuts. In other words, repeal a program that largely hasn't yet taken effect; prevent new legislation that is also not in effect; and keep a current tax structure in place. President Obama said" These are not new ideas. They are the same policies that led us into this recession. They will not create jobs, they will kill them. They will not reduce our deficit, they will add $1 trillion to our deficit. They will take us backward at a time when we need to keep America moving forward. “I know times are tough. I know that the progress we’ve made isn’t good enough for the millions of Americans who are still out of work or struggling to pay the bills. But I also know the character of this nation. I know that in times of great challenge and difficulty, we don’t fear the future – we shape the future. We harness the skills and ingenuity of the most dynamic country on Earth to reach a better day. We do it with optimism, and we do it with confidence. That’s the spirit we need right now, and that’s the future I know we can build together.” Republicans have never done anything for the working class.

For the better part of the past year, Republicans have tried to come up with a new agenda for the American people with mixed results. However, with the Tea Party now the most potent force in Republican politics, and with the recent launch of the Tea Party Caucus on Capitol Hill garnering the support of Republican leaders like National Republican Congressional Committee Chair Pete Sessions and Republican Caucus Chair Mike Pence, the Republican Party agenda has become clear. Republican leaders and Tea Party-supported Republican candidates can now rally around the "Republican Tea Party Contract on America" as the blueprint for how they would govern. 1. Repeal the Affordable Care Act (Health Insurance Reform) Put insurance companies back in charge, repeal tax credits for small businesses, allow insurance companies to deny coverage based on preexisting conditions and to drop coverage when a person gets too sick and make prescription drugs for seniors less affordable. 2. Privatize Social Security or phase it out altogether Turn the guaranteed retirement benefits of America's seniors over to Wall Street CEOs by putting Social Security at risk in the stock market or, as some Republicans have called for, phase out Social Security altogether and end a program millions of American seniors rely on for their survival. 3. End Medicare as it presently exists Phase out and end Medicare as it presently exists for future generations of seniors -- ending Medicare's guaranteed healthcare benefits for more than 40 million American seniors -- and replace it with a voucher system which will result in higher premiums and fewer services for seniors. 4. Extend the Bush tax breaks for the wealthy and big oil At a cost of nearly $700 billion, extend the Bush tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans and big oil, which are set to expire and which have and will continue to explode the federal budget deficit. 5. Repeal Wall Street Reform Roll back the toughest consumer protections ever enacted, allow banks to continue to grow too big to fail, and ensure that predatory lenders continue to utilize their most abusive practices. 6. Protect those responsible for the oil spill and future environmental catastrophes Cap liabilities for those responsible for environmental disasters like the Gulf oil spill and let companies like BP decide which victims deserve compensation for the disaster and what the timeline for relief should be. 7. Abolish the Department of Education Put the big banks back in charge of student loans and put an end to federal assistance for public schools. 8. Abolish the Department of Energy End America's investments in a clean-energy future and disband the organization responsible for oversight of nuclear materials. 9. Abolish the Environmental Protection Agency Gut the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act -- which together protect our kids from air pollution and keep drinking water safe -- and disband the watchdog that holds polluters accountable. 10. Repeal the 17th Amendment Take away your right to pick your U.S. Senator.
I wonder just how many of those who voted for the hospital district thought that this would be the way their tax dollars would be spent. So much for indigent health care. Looks like it will be a money pit. I wonder if our taxes that went to the hospital district will now be used to pay the back taxes to the city and county. It also looks like Frontier got off scott free. If I had the know how I would start a petition to dissolve the district. I would certainly volunteer to help anyone who had the know how.
Mr. Youngblood, I would like to ask a favor and I believe you have the resouces to do it. Please print the exact wording of the purpose and function of the hospital district and its board as it was presented to the voters way back when this board was created. What this board has gone and done is absolutely not what I voted for.
The story says this Liberty Dayton Hospital has been operating at a loss with the Hospital District covering the loss with Taxpayer money. Who in thier right minds would buy into anything that was operating at a loss? Now that the Hospital District has bought this old run down Hospital, that they were covering part of the loss, they will now be able to spend more Taxpayer money by covering the total loss. These lunatics are spending our tax dollars on a so called Hospital that none of them or myself will ever use. This Hospital is only for illegals and deadbeats and we are paying for them a free ride. Get rid of this Hospital and the lunatics running it.
