Dealey 7 New COVID 19 Cases

Dealey 7 New COVID 19 Cases

Data released by Dallas Independent School District tells the story. Dealey 7 new cases of COVID19 since dropping the mask mandate. The mandate dropped for two students out of several hundred.

The impact is being felt as several full classrooms are being required to quarantine. This comes after the reckless nature of one parent.

The parent is being enabled by both principal, Beth Wing and PTA President Alishia Salmon.

The DISD coronavirus dashboard shows five cases at Dealey. It does not reflect the seven cases listed in an email to parents.

Dallas County COVID19 numbers are falling. They are rising on the Dealey campus where mask mandates are now ignored.

Dealey 7

Officials expect the Dealey 7 numbers to rise after they surrendered on masks. The mandate has had almost 100% compliance.

In mid October there was a protest involving two dozen paid activists. That protest harrassed both staff and students as young as four.

Adults using bullhorns hurled accusations at kindergarten students over unfounded abuse claims. Officials did say protestors must stay on sidewalks, but did not maintain that zone. During the October protest parents reported protestors with firearms at school.

Dallas ISD Police and Dallas Police stated there were no arrests during protests.

Protest ring leader, Lauren Davis has not responded to many emails for comment. She is Chief Culture Officer for The Gents Place.

Despite protests, Davis’ children wear masks in other locations around Dallas. There is no record of her complaint anywhere other than Dallas ISD leading up to these events.

The Gents Place did post an ominous question earlier asking which was the better weapon: the AK47 or M16. Some have called it charged with an implicit threat to the school.

Dallas school officials have also declined to respond to emails. These emails from both parents and Other Side Dallas show the district in bunker mode.

Parents say the Dealey PTA leadership, particularly Alishia Salmon, enables the Davis complaint. She talks about “community” without taking any action to stop Ms. Davis for her role in protests.

COVID19 Returns To Dealey with Unmasked Students

No Voting For You

No Voting For You

No voting for you says Dallas County Elections staff after not allowing a Dallas County registered voter to participate in the nonpartisan election during Early Voting session Friday, October 29, 2021.

Earlier this year hearings were held on Senate Bill 1 (SB1) and House Bill 3(HB3) which Democrats said would make voting harder, but this appears to be poorly trained staff following last year’s departure of Toni Pippins-Poole, a John Wiley Price disciple whose administration was mired in similar accusations.

No Voting For You Despite Public Pledges Otherwise

The county elections department website says in its mission statement it is to “accurately maintain voter registration records,” but it seems difficult at best.

No Voting For You

Dallas County Elections staff stated they could not make an accomodation for a voter they admit should have been given a provisional ballot.

A staff member with JJ Koch said that voters who experience problems voting should first demand a provisional ballot. Additionally voters can make a formal complaint here which will be responded to by the full Dallas County Commissioner’s Court.

Eddie Garcia Island

Eddie Garcia Island

Eddie Garcia Island is what Dallas Police insiders are calling the freshman chief’s lack of accountability and transparency when dealing with the public.

Eddie Garcia Island

The issue came up recently as Dallas Police over ruled the recommendation of Internal Affairs over officer discipline after an excessive force incident and instead took the recommendation of the Training Academy.

An officer with a sister law enforcement agency said “Chief Garcia seems to be repeating the errors of Chief Hall. It didn’t work out too well for her or the City of Dallas.”

Eddie Garcia Island Is Just Renee Hall 2.0

Almost a year ago, Reneé Hall raced from her duties as DPD Chief after an inappropriate relationship with Dominique Alexander was exposed.

It was this relationship and not her repeated lies about the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge incident which moved Hall’s move out of the Chief’s office.

Eddie Garcia Island

At the time the Community Police Oversight Board were asking questions about her accountability, but no action was taken, even after an After Action Report demonstrated a historic failure in responding to the George Floyd protests of 2020.

Chief Garcia’s arrival was supposed to turn the page on the errors of Chief Hall, but now it appears the same problems of insularity and aloofness are happening again.

Another law enforcement source said, “he only engages on his terms and the problem with that is when people reach out in good faith and you dont hear back what do you do?” This person continued, “if you really want to listen to the community you have to listen. You have to return phone calls, you have to return emails, you have to answer questions whether you like it or not.”

A third person noted, “Garcia is too busy using officers for politically motivated ‘investigations’ and not handling the regular shootings in downtown and uptown” which are keeping crowds from returning. “As long as people do not feel safe – downtown Dallas is in a bind.”

Dallas ISD Keeps Speakers Off Agenda

Dallas Independent School District keeps speakers off agenda for tonight’s Board of Trustees meeting per two parents who requested to address agenda items pertaining to Dallas ISD’s mask mandate.

Dallas ISD Keeps Speakers Off Agenda
Dallas ISD will not consider public comment on mask mandates after Dealey Montessori Principal Beth Wing accused of child abuse.

One board agenda item is board members received guidance from their counsel about the Koch vs Jenkins lawsuit over mask mandates in Dallas County.

Speakers Off Agenda Could Be First Amendment Violation

It is unclear if this Dallas ISD staff decision was made secondary to the potential for a second protest at Dealey or other factors and neither Communications, nor Legal Services, has responded to our inquiries.

The decision however could be a Constitutional problem which will create another headache for a school district that by and large has done the right thing per most parents in the face of COVID19.

Dallas City Council Gives Tax Breaks To Billionaires

Tax Breaks To Billionaires

The Dallas City Council gives more tax breaks to billionaires in one more corportate giveaway while simultaneously telling the homeless they can not ask for money on street corners.

City Council approved an “incentive” to facilitate a new mixed-use and mixed-income development project proposed by Kroger Co. and its development partner Southeastern called One City View at N. Hall Street and Flora Street.

Tax Breaks To Billionaires

The project, the second in collaboration with Kroger in recent years, will bring a full-service grocery store and affordable housing to the downtown/uptown area.

“The mixed income component of this project brings 375 new housing units, including a much needed 75 affordable units to Dallas,” District 14 City Council Member Paul Ridley said. “I welcome such opportunities to partner with the private sector to achieve the city’s objective of creating more affordable housing close to jobs, transportation and community resources.”

The new five-story development will include a Kroger grocery store (approximately 80,000 square feet) on the ground level and almost four hundred apartments on the upper four levels. At least seventy-five of these apartments will be rent restricted for households earning a maximum of 60% Area Median Family Income (AMFI). The total project cost is estimated at $108 million.

The incentive approved by the City Council to facilitate the project authorizes a real property tax abatement agreement for a period of ten years in an amount equal to the City’s taxes assessed on 50% of the increased value of the property.

“This partnership is a step towards greater economic and equitable development in communities with untapped potential. We look forward to collaborating with Kroger and Southeastern and hope this project will serve as a beacon to attract similar partnerships,” Chief of Economic Development & Neighborhood Services Dr. Eric Anthony Johnson said.

Johnson has previously been accused of running bait and switch programs for small business expansion in Dallas.

Other Tax Breaks To Billionaires

In 2019, the City Council approved an initial partnership with Kroger for a new $100 million fulfillment center located at 4241 Telephone Road in the Southern Dallas Inland Port. The Dallas-based automated fulfillment center, in partnership with Ocado Solutions USA Inc., will source, package and prepare grocery products for direct delivery to consumers throughout Dallas and neighboring communities.

Tennell Atkins was overjoyed by the news saying in a city issued statement, “this partnership will lift and leverage our efforts to achieve equitable development in Dallas. We are happy to support Kroger in this project, and hope to see more positive and impactful collaborations like this one in our City.”

Atkins is Chair of the Economic Development Committee.

The City of Dallas also provided $3M to a South Dallas grocer with almost no strings attached after city council intercession. It reeked of the economic devlopment problems of the old South Dallas/Fair Park Trust Fund and todate has not provided additional jobs or additional food options.

That move has since been lambasted as another giveaway to developer friends of local city council members.

Construction of the latest taxpayer funded boondoggle is reported to be nearing completion. 350 full-time positions for the new facility will begin to ramp up in the coming months.

In addition to providing the tax break for Kroger and Company, the City of Dallas is also coordinating with the company to use tax dollars to provide employees to Kroger via city run job fairs.

Eric Johnson Tests Positive For COVID19

Eric Johnson Tests Positive

Mayor of Dallas Eric Johnson test positive for COVID19 per a statement issued a short while ago.

Eric Johnson Tests Positive

“I appreciate your thoughts and prayers on behalf of my family, and I look forward to a speedy recovery so I can get back to work with my colleagues on behalf of the people of Dallas,” Johnson, 46, said in the statement. “In addition, I want to take this opportunity to again encourage residents of Dallas to get vaccinated if they have not yet done so — and to receive a booster shot when they are eligible.”

Eric Johnson Tests Positive Despite Vaccination

Mayor Johnson was vaccinated at UT Southwestern Medical Center in January 2021 due to an underlying medical condition not disclosed.

Despite county mask requirements, the City of Dallas has been less strict with enforcing masks locally including at popular gathering places such as The Majestic Theatre.

The Mayor has cancelled a number of appointments including tomorrow’s city council meeting as he recovers.

Chris Suprun Running For Justice of Peace

Earlier today Chris Suprun, filed paperwork with Dallas County Clerk John Warren to run for Justice of Peace in Precinct 3, Place 2 as a Democrat.

Chris Suprun

Suprun is most known for his historic stand against Donald Trump in 2016 as a member of the Texas Electoral College when he was a Republican.

At the time, Suprun published an oped in the New York Times detailing his opposition which garnered more than one million views in twenty-four hours.

He has since worked to elect Democrats and campaigned for Joe Biden in 2020. State Democrats did not designate him on their slate of electors for Joe Biden in 2020 though.

After his 2016 announcement he was accused of stolen valor and faking 9-11 service, but a Freedom of Information Act response from the FBI along with two affidavits show his presence at the 2001 terror attack.

Additionally, Texas Republican Senator Bob Hall sponsored a proclamation recognizing his service in Arlington, Virginia that day.
