On Saturday, Barry Wernick lost his race for Dallas City Council District 11 to Jaynie Schultz. On Sunday, he acted as if his campaign hadn’t played dirtythroughout the race.
Wernick claims in his Facebook post above that “we have it a good fight without resorting to name calling or personal attacks.” This statement is completely contradicted by his campaign team who admittred in a secret recording to creating fake Facebook posts to create a negative public safety image of the ultimate winner in the race, Jaynie Schultz.
Barry Wernick Results
Despite leading in the May 1 race results, Wernick lost the runoff of June 5 by eight points. Several voters stated the false negative campaigning was their major reason for voting Schultz over Wernick.
Wernick was supported by several Park Cities Republican Women Club members. We are reaching out for their comment about the race results both in District 11 and in other parts of the city they were involved.
Rumors from 1500 Marilla is Fair Park redistricting may place the area into City Council District 02 after the runoff election is concluded.
Fair Park Redistricting
It is unclear how accurate reports are, but two sources have now confirmed that City of Dallas staff is looking at how to gerrymander Fair Park into D02. The same sources pushed back on the campaign narrative that Eric Johnson would be successful with his campaign endorsements.
If this redistricting plan comes true it would place the area under the leadership of Jesse Moreno instead of Adam Bazaldua.
One person close to the process said on background “Jesse is a real community leader – a work horse. Adam is too much show horse.”
They went on to describe the need of a person better versed with the Fair Park Master Plan than Adam Bazaldua who has been “too busy” planning a mayoral run in two years against Eric Johnson, who he has battled with since his election.
The campaign became heated in some instances with a last minute attack mailer against opponent Candace Quarles. The mailer did not state who paid for or authorized the attack – a possible violation of state election law.
Kristy Noble Background
Ms. Noble’s background includes three decades as a small business owner in the Information Technology sector.
She was also a co-founder and leader of the Funky East Dallas Democrats, which grew from 35 to 4,500 people in just four years.
Noble won her race after four rounds of voting between the five candidates.
Danny Defenbaugh responds to our post yesterday with a sentence that answers none of our assertions.
Readers will note we asked what evidence he has to substantitate President Joe Biden is a pedophile. He doesn’t respond with any evidence. Dfenbaugh if the former Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Dallas Field Office.
Danny Defenbaugh Responds…
This is Mr. Defenbaugh’s full email response.
It does make us wonder about his investigative prowess if he can not answer the question asked. He is not even deflecting well.
Defenbaugh is perhaps best known for his role in the Oklahoma City Bombing where his mishandling of paperwork led to an execution date change and could have imperiled Timothy McVeigh’s prosecution.
We are unsure if Mr. Defenbaugh had the same outspoken political views during his tenure in the FBI as now.
A Facebook account linked to Danny Defenbaugh had numerous posts linking the local private investigator with QAnon conspiracies and far right attack on President Biden, immigrants, minority Members of Congress, and the former FBI Director James Comey.
Defenbaugh retired as Special Agent in Charge of the Dallas Field Office. The posts come on the heels of a Dallas based QAnon convention where Michael Flynn, the National Security Advisor fired by President Trump, called for a coup at the Omni Hotel.
Defenbaugh is currently a Texas licensed Investigations Security Contractor and runs a security consultant company under his own name out of Kaufman, Texas. His website states their mission is to “provide senior management with comprehensive guidance relative to their security environment to promote and enhance the protection of personnel, assets, information, and business operations.”
Danny Defenbaugh – Chief Oklahoma City Bombing Investigator Hides Foul Ups
Danny Defenbaugh, was the FBI agent at the center of the Oklahoma City bombing investigation and a major foul-up over document production.
In Congressional testimoney, he told lawmakers that he waited for months to alert his superiors because he wanted to ascertain the magnitude of the document problem which could have jeopardized Timothy McVeigh’s execution.
Agent Defenbaugh, the lead investigator of the Oklahoma City bombing case who was in charge of collecting investigative documents per the FBI had an inkling that something was amiss as early as January. This was noted in the summary of a briefing Defenbaugh gave to members of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
McVeigh’s execution, originally set for May 16, 2001, was delayed by the Justice Department until June 11, 2001, after the FBI revealed that investigative records had not been turned over to McVeigh’s lawyers.
Defenbaugh has not returned an inquiry into these posts as of publish.
Michael Flynn Calls For a Myanmar style coup in Dallas at the Omni Hotel this weekend in the latest provocation by far right QAnon supporters.
The Omni Dallas Hotel is hosting guests for the four-day QAnon inspired conference called For God and Country Patriot Roundup. The event featured prominent QAnon supportes including former national security advisor Michael Flynn.
The conference began on Friday with a VIP meet-and-greet reception and lasted through yesterday, Memorial Day.
Flynn responded to a crowd question about why a Myanmar style insurrection could not happen here and he respodned he thought it should.
It is unclear what the cost is to taxpayers for police overtime to provide a space to organizers who openly support insurrection against the United States government.
Dallas County overwhelmingly voted for Joe Biden in November 2020 with 598,576 votes to Donald Trump’s 307,076 votes. This was approximately 65% to 33% with third party candidates taking in the remainder.
Coup In Dallas – Not The First Issue At Omni Hotel
The Omni Dallas has had numerous issues in recent history.
Last year the Omni Hotel refused to put the Black Lives Matter slogan on its hotel wall. The Omni is one of the hotels supported by Visit Dallas which has had numerous audit issues over the years costing taxpayers millions of dollars.
This conference also comes on the heels of Barry Wernick’s campaign for Dallas City Council, District 11, being accused of Trumpian campaign tactics. Wernick’s team admitted in a secret recording to doctoring a Facebook post of his opponent for the Dallas City Council seat earlier in the campaign season.
Dallas Police report the Northpark Center incident earlier was not an active shooter incident, but an invidivual banging his skate board in the mall food court and acting as if he had a firearm.
Dallas police said the gunfire noise at NorthPark Center was the results of a “mentally disturbed individual.”
The sounds sent shoppers into a panic with many fleeing the scene. DPD reported one person in custody. No one was shot, per Dallas Police, but one person did complain of chest pain secondary to the event.
Northpark Center Hours
The mall plans to be open for regular hours Tuesday.
The wacky Barry Wernick campaign continues emulating Donald Trump and his dirty tricks in a recently released video where his campaign team admits doctoring a Facebook photo to make runoff opponent Jaynie Schultz more liberal.
The video below makes clear the campaign knew it was doctoring a Facebook photo because they could not run on public safety effectively against Jaynie Schultz.
Schultz who has campaigned for increased accountability of Dallas Police also has said she supports increased interaction between Dallas Police, Richardson Police, and other first responders. She also tackles the growing issue of panhandling on the major thoroughfares through D11. Her website says she wants to “build trust and transparent communication to fight crime.”
Wernick Endorsements
Wernick was rumored to be an Eric Johnson/Keep Dallas Safe supported candidate, but one source says KDS is exasperated by the neophytes running the campaign and its general direction.
One person outside Keep Dallas Safe stated “the GQP has taken over Barry’s campaign with Brad Namdar preparing his Congressional run against Colin Allred and GOP State Chairman Allen West offering a low key endorsement to have a single Dallas City Council member viewed as “conservative.”
The source close to campaign discussions said, “Namdar thinks he is kingmaker despite him increasing the likelihood of Barry losing.”
He continued,” Their strategy is bewildering. In 2020, Biden won the district by almost twenty points, but here is Barry rushing to line up with the alt right instead of focusing on getting things done for the district.”
Wednesday Diane Ragsdale, a former Dallas City Council member, announced her endorsement of Adam Bazaldua in the District 7 runoff. The question is why is this necessary and is the endorsement of an insider who profited off her career on Dallas City Council a net positive.
Ragsdale’s endorsement mentions Bazaldua shutting down drug and gambling houses, but Bazaldua is neither a police officer, nor friendly with the Dallas Police Department after leading the Defund DPD effort in summer 2020. At one point it was possible that $77M might be pulled from the Dallas Police Department budget.
Diane Ragsdale: Personal Economic Development?
Ragsdale is also known as one of the architects of the South Dallas-Fair Park Opportunity Fund which has had numerous trust issues since its inception decades ago. As a member of city council she helped create the fund itself, but more recently her Innercity Community Development Corporation was the only entity to receive loan dollars from the economic opportunity fund.
In the meantime, crime in D7 continues to be a problem and Baz is now caught between seeking the Dallas Police Association endorsment and openly working to cut their overtime.
