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.

Ken Kalthoff of NBC5 reported that Marian Brown’s office, the Dallas County Sheriff Lost $600000 in inmate commissary funds.
The FBI is currently investigating whether or not the funds were stolen or if this is an accounting error.
Dallas County Commissioners were alerted to a problem at this week’s County Commissioner’s meeting. A Sheriff’s Department employee discovered problems dating over six years, spanning both Sheriff Lupe Valdez and Sheriff Brown’s administrations.
The County Auditor found more than three hundred inmate debit cards totaling $699,993 were issued in excess of the inmates’ trust fund balances. The county program vendor for the program returned $97,390.79 with a check earlier this summer.
Sheriff Lost $600000 – More In Credibility
Commissioner John Wiley Price said other problems occurred prior to the current sheriff. Price has previously been accused of crimes by the FBI and had a federal trial of his own.
It is unclear if County Commissioners will hire Erin Nealy Cox to uncover issues when she completes her investigation of the City of Dallas IT loss.
Dallas Cowboys Safety Kazee isn’t safe after being arrested early Tuesday morning for driving while under the influence.
Kazee was pulled over by Dallas suburban law enforcement for a traffic violation in The Colony around 3:00AM. Colony Police noticed physical signs that Kazee had been drinking. After being questioned he told the officer that he had consumed alcohol earlier in the evening.
Damontae Kazee was detained after failing a field sobriety test, and his DWI charge is a Class B misdemeanor for a first offense. The 28-year-old posted a $2,500 bond on Tuesday and was released from The Colony Municipal Jail at 12:34 p.m.
Cowboys Safety Kazee New To Team
The first year safety joined the Dallas Cowboys this year after signing a one year deal worth just over $1M. He follows coach Dan Quinn from the Atlanta Falcons where he spent his first four years.
Dallas’s Southwest surrenders to COVID19 protests and disregards the Biden Administration mandates for federal contractors to have employee compliance on mandatory COVID19 vaccinations.
The airlines has scrapped a plan to put unvaccinated employees on unpaid leave starting by a federal deadline in December. Those who have applied for but haven’t received a religious or medical exemption would be on this list.
American Airlines and Southwest Airlines are among the carriers that are federal contractors subject to a Biden administration requirement that employees be vaccinated against COVID19 by December 8.
Federal contracting rules are stricter than those expected for large companies, which will allow for regular Covid testing as an alterative to a vaccination.
Southwest Surrenders After Pledging For Mandate
Southwest Airlines is experiencing what one employee called a “schizophrenic episode.”
He continued, “they don’t know if they are coming or going. Last week they stood with American Airlines against Greg Abbott’s statewide executive order. Now they’re against Biden. There’s really no leadership.”
American Airlines disrupts DC air traffic just one week after thousands of Southwest flight cancellations disrupted air traffic across the country.
On Saturday, emergency crews at Ronald Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C. responded to an American jet that has been stopped in the middle of the airport’s main runway.
The jet sat on the runway for t least ten minutes before fire and rescue crews arrived to Dave Statter.
In a statement, American Airlines said, “American Eagle flight 4965, operated by Republic Airways, with service from Memphis to Regan National Airport (DCA) experienced a mechanical issue upon landing at DCA. The flight landed safely and there were no reported injuries. All passengers were bussed to the terminal.”
Their statement continues, “there were 71 passengers and four crew on board.”
American Airlines Disrupts DC and Texas
Earlier in the week American executives stated they would continue to comply with federal mask mandates despite Governor Abbott’s state level executive order stating mask mandates were forbidden.
Erin Nealy Cox takes over the city investigation into IT losses which deleted millions of police files used in criminal prosecutions.
Nealy Cox is the former US Attorney for the Northern District of Texas and was recommended by Dallas officials hoping to find answers to the data loss jeopardizing upwards of 17,000 criminal cases.
Council members on Thursday also questioned the head of the city’s IT department about a 131-page report released two weeks ago that found the country’s ninth-largest city lacked basic policies and procedures for backing up archived data.
The City Council’s general investigating and ethics committee unanimously agreed Thursday to recommend law firm Kirkland & Ellis LLP to conduct the independent review. The City Council will have to approve the decision to make it official.
“The data loss incident may have originated with a single employee who broke the rules,” said council member Cara Mendelsohn, who is chair of the committee. “But it’s clear from this report that there are no rules.
“The discovery of the data loss is horrific to the victims of family violence, and I’m not sure that we can ever fully apologize for any of the cases that don’t move forward because of these errors.”
Erin Nealy Cox – No Stranger To Dallas Police
Nealy Cox, resigned from North Texas’ U.S. Attorney’s Office in December estimated the review and report would take three months to complete and cost taxpayers more than half a million dollars.
Dallas Police Executive Assistant Chief Albert Martinez said an investigation continues alongside the Dallas FBI Field Office.
Adam McGough acted immediately this morning on Dealey fear of the planned protest by the Davis family.
Minutes after being texted by OSD, he responded “I have brought this concern to top DPD leadership.”
So far he is the only person to respond.
As reported earlier this morning, the Davis’ business tweeted earlier this week a message about choosing between an AK47 and M16 on a business account unrelated to hair salon services for men.
It is unclear why this guest post happened two days prior to their planned protest.
In am email, Dallas Police Deputy Chief Rick Watson states “This is the first I have heard about this information.” This counters a claim by DISD‘s Chief of School Leadership Tiffany Huitt that police would be on scene to maintain order.
Dealey Fear By Students
Since we published this morning an eighth grade parent emailed a screenshot from a cellphone parent monitoring app.
In the cellular text conversation – reported to be three Dealey students – one states “people are talking about them coming with weapons that wont happen right?”
The conversation’s participants are redacted for privacy per the parent source’s condition for publishing.
We will update if Dallas ISD or Dallas Police respond to us.
The Gents Place Culture Officer Lauren Davis did not respond to a question about why the company Twitter account asked about a preference between an AK-47 and an M-16 rifle on their social media accounts while she is planning a protest at Dealey Montessori on Thursday, October 14.
The post above comes as Ms. Davis has escalated a private feud with Dallas Independent School District over their mask mandate to the point of organizing a prayer rally in front of the school and now a protest.
Two parents asked late last night said that these images do not fit with a hair salon.
“The question of firearms with everything else going on makes it appear they are intimidating the school,” said one. “This post comes out and 24 hours later DISD gives in to their insane demands all so she can get donations to help her struggling business.”
Dallas ISD did not inform parents that the students would be allowed to return to class via email or written communication. Many parents expressed shock and frustration that what had been a communal environment is being town apart by The Gents Place culture officer, and rumored potential candidate, who wears a mask in the Gents Place salon and while at church activites.
It is unclear why she objects to her students wearing masks at Dealey Montessori. We have confirmed her high school student complies with the district mask mandate at Hillcrest High School without objection or disruption.
