Cumulus charges kids with cancer for commercials that did not air on behalf of Strike Out Kids Cancer Foundation in September 2021 per multiple sources familiar with the issue.
Strike Out Kids Cancer Foundation was raising money through North Texas Giving Day, an annual event designed to empower North Texas nonprofits.
Cumulus Charges Kids With Cancer
Strike Out Kids Cancer had a $25,000 goal they were hoping to raise, but fell well short after ads they had purchased with 1310 The Ticket did not run as planned.
The radio station has not responded to emails or phone calls since September 2021 and refuse to provide a refund to the nonprofit.
Two persons unrelated to the nonprofit completed affidavits stating that they did not hear the ads played in the Youtube ad above during the month of September and per Cumulus Media’s advertising dashboard, no online ads ran either.
Neither Cumulus nor UMB Financial Corporation, the card issuer for the Texas Rangers Mastercard, has responded to request for comment.
A video found Monday on Twitter shows ‘progressive’ liberal strategist and Chief of Staff to Jasmine Crockett, Karrol Rimal openly using the N word and saying he will support Donald Trump.
Crockett is currently in a pitched battle in TX30 against multiple other challengers including Jane Hope Hamilton and Roy Williams Jr. among others.
In a poll two weeks ago almost half of voters surveyed by Crockett were undecided, but Crockett was the clear candidate leader with more than a third of support otherwise. It is unclear how the revelations of her staff member’s behavior will reflect in the primary.
Early voting starts on Monday, February 14, 2022.
Karrol Rimal
The state employee makes at least $60,000 taxpayer dollars per year representing Rep. Crockett across the state and district.
Karrol Rimal is Chief of Staff to Texas State Representative Jasmine Crockett, currently running for US Congress.
Several have called for his immediate termination.
In the podcast above, it appears both Kendall Scudder, a current candidate in HD114, and Lilian Salerno, former candidate in TX32, had no issue with the content of his words as they laughed along.
DISD busses missing at multiple stops again this morning. Studnets were waiting upwards of half an hour at some stops as DISD could not field calls under fifteen minutes.
Many students arrive at their bus stop as early as fifteen minutes prior meaning they were waiting forty-five minutes for a bus that never showed.
This comes just days after it is announced that schools superintendent Michael Hinojosa will seek the mayor’s office in 2023. Given his tenure at Dallas ISD, it is unclear if his intent will be to keep fire trucks from arriving on time or simply slow down pot hole fixes.
News this afternoon as two sources confirm Beth Wing out at Dallas Schools‘ Dealey Montessori after repeated parent complaints about her campus management and communication and in her ability to resolve ongoing campus protests causing distractions to the student population.
Beth Wing Out At Dealey
Wing is being assigned to the WT White campus. That school has no principal and it is not clear what reception she will get there.
Official word has not come from Dallas Schools so an interim prinipal has not been named.
Response to COVID19 may have hit a road block locally after a Dallas City Council rap song is going viral.
The live “music” performance was performed by Alex Stein, a graduate of Highland Park High School who seemed to be coaxing Instagram followers for himself.
Alex once wanted to be the “most epic villain in reality tv history.” It is possible this stunt was designed to become the most epic villain in city council open microphone history.
Dallas City Council Rap
The one positive to come out of the video is it was intended to be positive. It is hard to make the same call for Renee Hall’s Take A Knee video in 2020.
Current Dallas Justice of Peace 3-2 Steve Seider challenges Suprun ballot petitions in a late Friday notice to Dallas County Democratic Party.
It is unclear the basis for Seider’s challenge, but he has previously attempted to keep opponents off the ballot in other election years, and this appears to be another attempt at resurrecting Donald Trump’s Big Lie over election fraud claims when none exist.
Christopher Suprun is best known politically as the 2016 Republican faithless elector who would not vote for Donald Trump. His December 2016 New York Times oped was the first time a member of the Electoral College publicly announced a campaign against his party’s own nominee.
Since that time Suprun has been active in electing Democrats across the nation, but is seen as a fair person committed to the Rule of Law. He did not respond to a request for comment despite previously writing for Other Side Dallas.
Seider Challenges Suprun Not First GOP Politricks Of 2022
Seider challenging Christopher Suprun is not the first of this cycle or the first for Seider who sued to remove Mauri Long from the ballot in 2018 in a race he won by 1400 votes out of 200,000.
The Dallas County Republican Party also added a candidate in the Justice of Peace Precinct 3 Place 1 race against Adam Swartz after the deadline.
The Superintendent’s statements remind some of the caution Dallas ISD had during Spring Break 2020 when they could not make a definitive decision about return to school despite overwhelming cases of coronavirus in Dallas and in Texas.
Dallas Schools have announced mask mandates will remain in place. It is unclear if non parental community activists will continue harassing local schools or not.
Federal dollars are coming to Dallas and public input is being requested for the use of those dollars.
The City of Dallas Community Development Commission (CDC), along with staff from Budget and Management Services will hold a series of virtual neighborhood public meetings to inform residents of the potential uses of U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funds.
The meetings are also designed to encourage residents to provide input on how the City uses these federal grant funds to address community needs.
The HUD grants serve low-and-moderate income residents and communities in Dallas. The FY 2022-23 Action Plan (annual budget) will be submitted to HUD August 2022. The meetings begin virtually Thursday, January 6 to January 20.
Federal Dollars Public Hearing Schedule
Dates and times are as follows:
January 6, 2022: 7:00 PM
January 10, 2022 : 10:00 AM

Texas Governor Greg Abbott begs for federal socialist help again per a statement from his office.
The Texas governor, who has opposed COVID19 vaccine mandates and other preventive measures, said on Friday that his state had requested federal help with testing sites.
Abbott said in a press release that the state requested “resources for federally-supported testing locations and medical personnel and additional federal allocations of monoclonal antibodies.”
In June 2020, Governor Abbott blamed young people for the rise in COVID19 cases only to be diagnosed with the virus himself. He used monoclonal antibodies – a high dollar treatment option when he was diagnosed with coronavirus himself just a day after being at a fundraiser event the day before.
In October, Abbott issued a state executive order that barred Texas entities, including private business, from issuing COVID-related vaccine mandates. That came after the federal government announced a plan requiring private businesses with more than one hundred employees to require vaccinations or weekly testing.
Abbott was accused if playing politics at the time.
His statement against President Biden stated, “In yet another instance of federal government overreach, the Biden Administration is now bullying many private entities into imposing COVID19 vaccine mandates, causing workforce disruptions that threaten Texas’ continued recovery from the COVID19 disaster.”
Abbott is facing a primary challenge from both former Congressman Allen West and former Texas Senator Don Huffines.
Huffines has attacked Abbott on issues ranging from government administration to illegal immigrants, the coronavirus response, and blaming the governor for last year’s February power outages which he called “ridiculous.”
Abbott Begs Like Last Year While Denying Local Assistance
Hospitals in Dallas and throughout North Texas said they needed hundreds of additional emergency staff to deal with the surge of viral cases of coronavirus. The state denied their request for emergency personnel.
Kaboom. Are Marcus Turner fireworks coming after he posted to Facebook a fire works display on New Year’s Eve?
The video is below.
In his Facebook post he says “Hope you had a great New Years Eve and have a even better New Year. We haven’t been able to see each other in a while. I hope that changes soon…”
Marcus Turner Fireworks
The City of Dallas and its suburban partners normally put out notices stating fireworks are illegal and will be punished by fines of up to $2000, but after a PR blitz in July, there were not reported prosecutions from fireworks in Dallas.
In other local news, police are still on the lookout for Abel Acosta in the triple murder of three teens last Sunday. His father remains in prison in lieu of a $3M bond. He is charged as an accompice in the crime.
There have also been no developments in the squirrel murder manhunt in Preston Hollow. One police source said this case may be “a tough nut to crack.”
