Mr. Howard Mowry's Comments At November 12th School Board Meeting

1. Accountability and performance have a lot in common, without one serving the other, then one could possibly consider fraud.  This division does have some serious problems, but all schools are accredited.

Of special interest is the amount of absenteeism in the system especially the high school. Reviewing the 2019 records 329 students were chronically absent, meaning 10 per-cent or more days for the school year.

This amounts to 3,290 school days at an approximate cost of $68.31 a student or $244,740 of wasted taxpayer’s contribution to the system for one school. Combining the elementary and middle schools the total was 368 or $251,381. A grand total right at a half million for the school year not counting those with less than 10 days out.

Since the funding for the school system is divided three ways the only marker for accountability is the local contribution. Years ago, a sitting board raised the percentage by 6 points above the composite index figure where it has stayed ever since.

Recommend that to improve upon and decrease absenteeism the Board of Supervisor’s reduce funding by a given percentage point/s until attendance hits a pre-determined level of accountability.

At the same time with all these students absent, all the schools are accredited, 94 percent graduate on time. One needs to consider either the student is smarter than the teachers, or the system has been dumbed down so far even a moron is a genius. I wonder what the businessman has to say about our graduates. A survey may be helpful.

2. At the same time when we talk funding by the state, they fund under many standards unknown by the general public. If our composite index is 38 cents, then the state would provide 62 cents to meet the operating revenue fund for the county.  Wrong they only fund 52 percent, or a shortchange of approximately 2 million.

Additionally, the budget when approved may not reflect the true revenues since the funding is set on attendance at the end of September the first month of the new school year. This revenue amount is also adjusted at the end of March of the same school year, which could be a plus or minus of students, also effecting the

Development of the next fiscal budget year.

The solution is for the school board with cooperation with other boards request the General Assembly review their multiples of funding and reduce the process to a local standard percentage of revenue intake and have the state provide the rest.

If this is not possible then one might possibly perceive that in reality, we are broke or bankrupt.

I thank you for the time.

Publisher's Note: School Board Chairperson, Robin Rice only allowed 3 minutes for comments even though there were only a handful of people at the meeting. She did not allow Mr. Mowry to complete his comments.

Violet's Rant: Using Your Head For Something Besides A Hat Rack

Well, what do you know! We finally got to see two of the most crucial witnesses in the impeachment farce. I don't know about you but these two characters who resembled a duo of Red Skelton (the one with the bowtie) and Jerry Lewis (the one with the "I'm so stupid" look) didn't impress me a whole lot. If you don't know who they are, that's probably why you can't remember a civil America, but that's not today's subject. 
Nope, today we are going to put on out thinking caps! Because we are discussing the American diplomat George P. Kent serving as Deputy Assistant Secretary for European and Eastern Europe Affairs and William B. Taylor, the U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine. You know, two men who are the star witnesses for the Impeachment Inquisition. Yea, them. Quite an impressive set of knuckleheads, if you ask me. And people, if you weren't listening yesterday, brace yourself! These two men testified to their feelings and what they heard. Yup, that's who I want running our foreign affairs. What if he gets the feeling to run.....well, sorry about our bad luck, eh?
Now, let me ask you this.... do you think you could be convicted of a crime in a court of law.....if I testified to a judge that I had a "feeling" you did it? Or how about if I said, somebody told me they heard about something you did? You're absolutely right! A good lawyer would chew me up and spit me out. And more than likely I'd face charges for a false complaint or I am sure they'd find something to charge me with but that's exactly what happened yesterday. Don't take my word for it. Look up the hearing for yourself and for Lord's sake don't watch the news media, it's designed for the weak minded who'd fall for anything. And you're much smarter than that, now aren't you. No, look up the entire session. 
Okay, now we know who these two men are, I want you to ask yourself this. Should we have knuckleheads overseeing our foreign affairs who make decisions on feelings and word of mouth? I mean, come on now..... You don't have to be a genius to figure that out, now do you?
So, Ambassador Taylor started off pretty good I thought, reading that paper he wrote up was pretty impressive but when he was questioned, his eyes began to bulge out of his head like a deer caught in headlights. He was shuffling papers around like there was no tomorrow but he wasn't looking for anything! If that's not a sign that something wasn't going as planned, I mean nothing is.
And Mr. Kent, the man who immediately claimed friendship with the ex- Ambassador of Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, you know that woman, who doesn't represent us all, but has been crying because she got fired from her job as Ambassador of Ukraine. Yea, her. Now, I won't get started on her but I will say this. If my boss doesn't like me and wants to fire me, he can! Bottom line! There are no laws against it. Whether I like it or not. Now, I may have a few choice words for him but I'd move on with my life quickly. I wouldn't be trying to destroy the man. Good grief! It's called life and doesn't always work out how we want it. But that's Mr. Kent's friend. And thank God we didn't have her going through menopause and working off of her feelings! I mean where would we be now? 
So, there you have it! Those two men are the two STAR witnesses testifying for the basement squad.. Impressed yet?
Ambassador Taylor was quick to point out that Ukrainians were being killed by Russians, he even describes how they were dying with such empathy. Now that's a little ironic since Americans are being killed by Mexicans and Islamics right here on American soil but there is no one representing us Americans like that now is there? Nope, in fact they don't even want a wall to protect us. Now, don't you feel special? 
Pardon me for asking but, can someone please tell me why....these two men who have been scrutinizing our Potus so harshly didn't do the same thing after they discovered Joe Bidens son was receiving $50,000 a month on the board of Barisma? I mean, Mr. Kent's own words were that this large energy corporation was being investigated for corruption and bribes....ummm that was under Obama's watch. Don't look at me... Mr. Biden said himself that he had the lawyer who was investigating it fired and they could call and ask the President. That's right, or they wouldn't get paid. Now, hold on! That's a "quid quo pro"! And, if you failed to put on your thinking cap, that is it's defined as a favor or advantage granted or expected for something. Hmmmm.....don't take my word for it. Here you have it...You don't have to listen to it all but do yourself a favor by starting at 44:25
https://youtu.be/Q0_AqpdwqK4
But they NEVER had a "feeling" about that illegal act, now did they? Even when Mr Biden made 6 trips to the Ukraine (Mr. Kent's observation)....and that was compliments of the American people....... ummmm Air Force Two. Geez, are you feeling like somebody is leading you to the desert for water yet? I am not feeling so sure about their "feelings" are you?
Well, I won't go on about how they have been deceiving you because I get that "feeling" sometimes too. But, I do want to just take your attention to one other subject. Remember that Russian investigation that kind of showed Hilary was the one working with Russia and not the President ( hmmm...and no one had a 'feeling' about that either) Yea, that fiasco we all endured when the President took office. It cost the American people about 34 million dollars! https://www.foxbusiness.com/…/heres-how-much-the-mueller-in…
Now don't look at me, I don't need a drink of water that bad....
With that being said, I could tell you about the Ambassador who was widely known for taking notes and recording texts.... Yet couldn't "recall" one of them that Mr. Jordan asked him about. Of course "I don't recall" is always the best answer when you know you've been caught, now isn't it?
Now, I know this is a lot to think about already but let me drop this little bug in your ear. While they are diverting your attention.... What's happening in..... The 13th district of Michigan? And have you checked out the 14th district of New York lately? And let's not leave out the 5th congressional district of Minnesota? There's your assignment for today......as my father used to always say, "Use your head for something besides a hatrack." and check those things out.
Now, while you do some homework.... I am going to go work on your next quiz.....okay?
Yup, we are going to do some brain exercises for the next few rants and if you're not interested, it's not my brain wasting away on stuff that's meant to take my mind off of what's important to Americans.
 Nope, that desert doesn't look too wet to me.

Violet's Rant: Sesame Street comes to Pennsylvania Avenue

Well, well, well, looks like another day on Sesame Street. Which rumor has it..., it goes something like this...Miss Piggy got fired and she's telling on Big Bird, 'cause it "ain't fair!" And didn't you hear.... Oscar the Grouch told the Cookie Monster that Bert and Ernie said that Kermit the Frog told them that Big Bird's going down.
Yup, you heard it here first folks. Pennsylvania Avenue has become a joke. I mean, we have Adam Schiff who lied to the American people by reading a bogus transcript that was altered to fool the American people and guess what? There are still knuckleheads who believe him!
If only I could have been a fly on the wall when the bag of Schiff heard the REAL transcript had come out. Dang skippy! They leave the most entertaining parts out. 
And how 'bout that whistle blower? The Cowardly Lion who is still praying for Dorothy to show up and give him some courage. Poor thing..... the way his Attorney is blowing up his own credibility by claiming in 2017 he was starting an impeachment....doesn't help him a whole heck of a lot, now does it? Nope, the two of them will go down in history as Thing One and Thing Two. It's a shame Dr. Suess didn't give us pictures of them so we could have seen them coming. Somebody. please give them some green eggs and ham so they won't be so hungry for Big Birds blood.
Now, let's not forget those Californians, who by the way....  that bag of Schiff works alongside of .. come on now... you know who they are.... Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi and Kamala Harris....yup the modern day, equal rights three stooges. ...who have been working so hard for "the people" yet haven't even come out once and commented on the fires that have been devastating their state and the lives of their own "people". Oh yea, never ye mind the homeless who are defecating in the streets because of "Larry, Curly and Moe's undying "love for the people". Sounds like to me they forgot all about them, huh? 
I mean...... Dorothy landed down on the wicked witch of the East when the House fell on top of her but that Wicked Witch of the West has a bunch of monkeys helping her out, no I didn't say they were helping "the people" out but they're helping the Wicked Witch of the West out. Hmmmm.... if make believe can't be real, you sure could have fooled me. 
I mean, the next thing you know we'll see Chuck Schumer walking around singing, "If I only had a brain". Afterall,  his buddy, Mayor Bill de Blasio can't even walk down the street without his own citizens "booing" him and asking him to leave New York. Think that may be because of the forgotten the homeless there? Chuck Schumer sure does lose a lot of sleep for his own, now doesn't he?
 But .... but .... but..... aren't New York and California sanctuary cities? So, wait a minute.... hold on! You mean to tell me the Scarecrow Chuckie isn't scaring the crows away and can not even help his own? Well ain't that the new American way? or NOT.
Geez, people I am waiting for Rod Serling to step out any minute now and say, "Welcome to the"Twilight Zone".
Oh, well. I guess I need to go get my popcorn ready. Rumor has it for the first time in history two people are testifying at once. I guess that's the new justice system. You know.... once upon a time..... you couldn't hear the other witnesses so you couldn't make your answers coincide with the previous witnesses..... but that's what you get when you get to Sesame Street.... I sure do wish those muppets never grew up. I kind of liked them when they displayed 
character and education,  didn't you? I'd say it might be time to send them back to Sesame Street they still have some things to learn about the American people

Have We Forgotten……

Over time, we all have seen history repeat itself.  A sneak attack on Fort Sumter in 1861, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and the September 11 attack in New York and Washington D.C. and while these were attacks on our own homeland, we swore that we would never forget.  Have we?  Sailors that were never recovered in the U.S.S. Arizona forever entombed in a steel coffin surround by oil and water.  Soldier never recovered from the leveling of Fort Sumter and the thousands of people never to be found following the September 11 attacks.  Have we Forgotten?

During the civil war our own government attacked their countrymen in the south over a multitude of ideologies over fair taxation, agriculture versus industry, the expansion of slavery into the expanding western territories and the election of Lincoln to the presidency as a republican without winning a single electoral vote from a southern state.  Have we forgotten?

While the Japanese executed a well, thought out plan to destroy the Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, all for the political relations reasons between the 2 countries that had become strained.  While many mistakes were made by the Japanese such as leaving dry docks intact, this did help the country in recovering by the righting and repair of many of the damaged and thought destroyed warships at Pearl Harbor.   The saving grace was our carriers were out to sea.  Have we Forgotten?

During the morning of September 11, we came under attack by terrorist using our own commercial aircraft against us, as missiles that resulted in killing thousands of innocent people.  A country in shock and we vowed to Never Forget.  Now we vote these same people into political office.  Have we Forgotten?

2 years ago, we held a presidential election and while the person elected had no political experience, he has gotten the country’s economy back on track, unemployment under control and our trade between countries made fair to the United States.  The downside we elected radicals to office that have cursed and vowed to take down the newly elected president at any cost.  Have we Forgotten?  These people have spent millions of taxpayer dollars on a mission to destroy the very republic our forefathers established over two hundred years ago.  Again, Have we Forgotten?

Last Tuesday, Virginia set a dangerous precedence by electing people to office with felony records, twisted ideas, and goals to strip away rights, guaranteed to us by the Constitution of the United States and confirmed by the Supreme Court of this country.  Yet these people are on a path of socialism and liberal thinking that the government needs to control the population.  These are the same people we elected that are supposed to be working for the people and not to control the people.  Any time in history where this has occurred has not ended well.  Look at Nazi Germany in 1939 and the Jewish people that were being systematically exterminated.  Have we Forgotten? 

People the same government has given rights back to felons and executed by the same type liberal people that we just elected to office.  Corruption is among us, at the Federal, State and County Levels.  Have we Forgotten?  Have we forgotten, what we learned in school about history, but it seems history is doomed to repeat itself and we are seeing it occur again?  What will this outcome be this time?  War between us, riots, marches and protest, I don’t have that answer.  Before we forget our history, we need to read it and learn from this before our history is gone and forgotten.

Violet's Rant: The Boy With No Name

He wasn't the the best man for the job. In fact, most of the people in town didn't think he was a man at all. It seemed like it was only yesterday he was seen riding his bike up and down the street. 
An average boy who would cut grass in the summer and could be seen building a snowman in the front yard of his home in the winters.Yes, he was just an average boy who really didn't seem much different than any other boy in the neighborhood. 
Just a boy with freckles and a mischievous smile who wore a baseball cap that bore the school team's symbol and played ball in the empty lot on the corner with the rest of the boys. Occasionally he was seen marching down the street with the band in the town's local parades yet few people knew his name.
Most didn't notice he was gone when he left.....no, the empty lot no longer existed..... Now, replaced and decorated with flowers around a new home with a new family, and you could no longer hear the boys playing.
Each year, The parade still continued each year and no one noticed who was and wasn't marching in the band anymore.
Yes...., he was just an average boy that simply wasn't around anymore until the day he returned home.
All the towns people gathered together awaiting his return. Each of them remembering something good about the boy ....... it didn't seem that long ago.
As they gathered all together ..., they watched and waited for his return .... his parents were seen standing in front of the crowd holding hands and standing tall.
It wasn't until the door of the plane opened and the soldiers marched out one by one and aligned themselves along the exit of the door, saluting to the boy who became hero and was carried down the ramp in a box draped with the American flag. Now, one of America's heroes and everyone knew his name...... Thank you to all of our veterans..... all gave some, some gave all. God Bless America and you our HEROES!!!!

Violet's Rant: When The Entitlement Pot Runs Dry

With all of this confusion on "free stuff" versus "working for it", I feel compelled to speak. Yes, I know.... I throw out my opinions a lot and I have to say.....I doubt it will stop, at least not anytime soon anyways.  It's just me, it's just who I am. So bare with me.....this rants been a long time coming. When my oldest daughter was about four years old, we took her to Chuck E. Cheese's for a night out. For those of you who don't know what that is...it was and still is a place where children were entertained with mechanically controlled dancing and talking stuffed creatures. It also offers various different types of games and entertainment for kids. 

Well, we arrived a little after dark, most likely on a weekend since dad worked the night shift. The place was pretty packed. We struggled through the crowd to find a seat and as we were doing so, my daughter looked up at me and said, " Look what I found, Mom." 

She opened her tiny hands and there she held two one hundred dollar bills! Well, my first thought was to look around and see if anyone was walking around looking for it, then I asked several of the workers if they had had anyone come to them saying they'd missed anything. After waiting a good while, we decided no one was looking for it. 

Now, the question was....what do we do with it? My daughter felt it was hers and rightfully so but as a parent you don't realistically hand a four year old two hundred dollars and tell her to go play, now do you? So, I decided to go get the tokens required to have in order to play the games and came back to the table. Offering her just the two dollar bills she had found or the 20 tokens I had just gotten from the machine. Well, her mindset at her young age was..... "more is better". Yet, you and I both know in this case, more was much less. Yet, not in the eyes of someone who had not yet been educated on the value of a dollar. Yes, she was perfectly pleased with $5.00 worth of tokens.

With that being said, it brings me to today's wonderful world of free stuff. 

Many people today, like the idea of free. I get it, times are hard and you work all week and find you still struggle. I mean, I have been to the grocery store many times feeling good about the buy one, get one free purchases I made. I won't mention the two boxes of crackers I purchased for $5.00 was priced at $2.49 a box the following week. That might steal some of the joy I got for the buy one, get one free I purchased last week. No, skip that dwelling on that..... I am going with the feel good moment. Just as many people see the political free stuff of today. 

Yup, democrats are offering free stuff and that's what we need.... is their line of thinking, right?

Now, don't blame them..... education is imperative for people to comprehend what's going on. Now, most would know in a New York minute....whatever that is, that the five dollars in tokens was by far less than the two hundred dollars my daughter willingly surrendered it for. They might even catch on to the box of crackers at their local grocery store but ...... now you want to get into the trillions and talk about welfare and taxes and who did what and why and they just stop listening. They don't get that the same concept applies. They hear, " we're going to make it better for you" and they want everyone to believe it. 

In hopes to break it down in a better format  I give you the example.....

 Now.....picture this.... the government has promised you....more benefits..... also known to many illegal immigrants as entitlements, which amazes me since they never paid one tax dollar to justify getting entitlements..... are you still with me? Okay, then....

Somebody has to put the money in the "pot" so you can get free stuff out of it. I mean you can't take something out of an empty pot, right? 

Right! See, you're catching on! I guess you already know that the rich man or woman yelling into the microphone is not going to actually take it out of their luxurious pocketbook, right? Right! So, hmmmm..... where do they go? You guessed it! They go straight to the working man's taxes! You know, the money they said you were paying in to protect you when you are old or disabled and unable to work.... Yes, that's right! That same Social Security benefit you get when you retire. Which by the way, Obama's administration says won't be available by the time we retire because the pot of collected taxes is going to be empty! Hmmmm....but how did it get empty? You paid your taxes all of your life? Now, remember that free insurance they promised you.......

somebody has to pay for it and it's not just about you...... because you agreed to take care of those pitiful illegals who keep crossing our borders. when you elected them. Yup, when you agreed to that you agreed to help feed them and their families and pay for their insurance. Unfortunately, you didn't keep the entitlement pot full even if you did agree to let them to take more out of your check. Doesn't really sound fair now does it? Well, it isnt!  But that's the way it works. If YOU don't fill the Entitlement POT no one else will and don't believe for one minute that they are going to take it from the rich man. You must remember.....they ARE the rich man! For crying out loud!!! Whew! Sorry, that was an unexpected outburst.Okay,  so now we know who's going to be paying for it.

 Let's talk about your parents or grandparents. You know brttre than anyone how little they get in social security each month and you know how hard they worked all of their lives paying taxes and they can barely make it month to month. You don't need to tell me that that isn't right. Nope, I see it too. 

Here's the kicker.....those rich people who are currently locked up in the basement at OUR White House.....want to increase their pay because they live in areas with higher taxes and don't support an increase in Grandma or Grandpas Social Security unless of course they take something away from them. Which for the layman's purpose I will steer away from today.

In closing, think of the free stuff you are being offered as something your child or parent is going to have to work for to pay. Yup, you may get it free but the worker in your family is ultimately going to have to pay for it and about five others.  If you don't have any workers in your family.... well you are the problem. See, people....

nothing comes free and I really dont think you wish to see your children living in poverty also because they were forced to pay higher taxes to make your life easier. 

And here's the biggy..... sooner or later that Entitlement pot becomes completely empty since more people are getting free stuff and less people are working. I mean who can afford to keep filling a pot for everyone else to come take a handful out of it? Afterall, they the working class can't afford everybody's free stuff! 

Then guess what happens? Those people in the basement.....

who won't even let you see what's been going on in the basement

will own you.. yup, there will be no options for you....you will live by the meager morsels they toss from their piggy bank and..... complaining....well, that won't be an option. That basement thingy is working hard so you won't be able to speak out about it, they really don't want to hear it. And don't think you're going to get your gun so you can stand up for your family if the desperatly poor (and there will be many of them) invade your home. Of course the invaders...well, they will still own their guns since theose in the basement can't find them. No, the people in the basement..... they aren't looking at the bad guy, they're looking at you. Yup, that hogwash .... going on in the basement..... is intended to rob you of rights while they have you thinking that free stuff sure would come in handy right about now.

Without you even seeing it, they are planning on owning you.Without, your guns...... you will have no voice.

 Don't look at me...I didn't vote for them.

Violet’s Rant; Why Did You Turn Your Back On Me?

Hey, it's me....I know you're getting tired of seeing me all the time. I know.... you think that my old values are not "with it", yea, I get that. But I have tried to represent you and guide you. I only wanted others to see what we could do.

I have visited places in the darkest parts of the earth because I was standing up for you and don't think I wouldn't do it again if necessary. No, never doubt that. See, that's what I was created for to be a symbol of your strength and to remind you that I don't wave around trying to make you mad or stifle you, I just want to represent your morals and values. I was simply trying to keep us together. That's just how it's supposed to be. I know you don't remember a lot of the things that happened to make me the way I am.... but I stood up for you even when you didn't know it. I believed in you..... even when I was mocked and sometimes burned by the hate of others who thought I was too strict. I stood up for you because I wanted everyone to know that I represented the power within you. Yes..., that was my purpose or so I had thought. I am not so sure what I should represent anymore. It seems I cause you shame at times and that saddens me.

In spite of the things you disagreed with me about me, I allowed you to say whatever hateful things you had to say, yes, I allowed you to discover yourself but somehow, I failed you.... Somehow, I let you down. I could blame a lot of people and a lot of things for that to happen, but I just never thought, that you'd turn on me. I never knew you would someday turn against me too. Do you know how many times I have been torn down and yet I stood back in the midst of danger for you and although broken torn and tattered; I would rise again..... Just for you.

I cannot change your mind after all, it was me who told you to be who you are, I just never knew that you'd turn on me too, I guess I thought we were so much stronger than that...💔

Violet’s Rant; Brainwashing Your Rights Away

Welcome to the "Mansonian Era". That's right, you heard it here first. Now, I realize the pimple poppers have no clue what that means but I know there are an older generation who know exactly what I am talking about. For those of you who do ...

Bear with me and let me take a minute to explain to the helplessly uneducated. Don’t blame them, they had teachers who told them they shouldn't eat meat because it killed animals and that they should concentrate more on the ozone than the security of their country. They have no idea that their troubles are much greater than what color the grass is or their skin for that matter. Yup, they've had their heads placed in the clouds and they can’t see the sky for the puffy stuff in their heads.

On August 19th, 1969. Sharon Tate was killed by a group of brain washed followers of a man named Charles Manson. Sharon was a rising star, who ironically starred in the movie, "The Eye of the Devil" (1966) where she played a satanic role in a devil worshiping ritual. And she later starred in the very popular movie, "The Valley of the Dolls" (1967) where she chooses to kill herself due to the father of her child’s mental illness (and breast cancer which made her think her baby daddy would no longer want her)......

Sadly, she lived these terrors in real life. When a group of young adults entered her home and created a "Helter Skelter" that shocked and horrified America. But Sharon is not the subject she is the tragedy of brain washed individuals.

Manson, a young man who spent most of his young life in "Boys schools" after his mother went to prison for armed robbery, lived a life of crime, (i.e., car theft, armed robberies and various others.)

He eventually ended up on the streets of San Francisco (Imagine that) as a male prostitute and began to form a "family" of followers. Keep in mind some of these were college educated youngsters who allowed outside interference to mess their heads up with the obsession of killing because someone told them to and let's not forget the psychedelics they used, LSD, heroin, cocaine, often times combined. To make a long story short. Sharon Tate was found by her maid murdered, stabbed to death, along with the child she carried fathered by the famous producer Roman Polanski, the heiress to Folgers coffee, Abigail Fulger as well as two others, and only one survivor who was not in the home. You can do more research on the net but this isn't a book.....

It has been said that Manson had control over their minds.....he was the threat they said... the beginning of blaming someone else for one’s wrong doings. They were all convicted and justifiably so.

There...., that's an overview.

Fast forward to today's youngsters..... it's a sad fact that they are either being brainwashed that they won't survive unless they save the ozone...... whales live, the Siberian tigers live, and elephant tusks are more important than human babies’ lives. And they even offer life termination at no cost. They are being brainwashed into believing they were born without a gender and guess what? Parents who stopped guiding our children are responsible for that. They allowed Hilary’s village to raise them and never injected themselves enough to hear what was being inserted into their gullible minds. Frighteningly enough, before too long everyone will know just how detrimental that was.

Teachers and parents, aren't telling our children what price was paid for, how men sacrificed their lives.... so that they can have their freedoms to cry about anything and everything. No, they are more concerned with which bathroom to use and what gender they are.

Yes, the Mansonian Era is here folks, our young adults have been brainwashed with opinions and mind-altering drugs that make them addicts and our government is loving it. With their attention diverted on things that will not keep America safe, they can now proceed to manipulate them and eventually control them. Young people and some despicable mentors think American workers can afford the 52 trillion-dollar costs of free insurance and our economy will remain strong. A sure sign they didn't learn arithmetic; thanks to calculators in class they never figured out simple math, I guess. They don't know which bathroom to use, which certainly displays Sex- Ed failed them miserably. They use abbreviations for words, and few know how to write in cursive. There goes reading and writing out the window.... And lastly and certainly most importantly, they will soon lose the very rights that allowed them to cry for more, more more.... the democrats are slowly stealing our rights.... censoring social media, telling us our faith is all wrong and the Bible is just a book. Dispute this if you like...... but if Twitter can agree to censor our Presidents tweets, you have a big wakeup call coming if you don’t think your next. Finally, that second amendment right that is so 'scary' to the young liberals....is the only thing that protects us from the bad guy.....oh...., and just in case they failed to teach you government in Class....that amendment was designed to protect you from a government take over. That’s right. You surrender that right.... you surrender all of the others, let's just call it the domino effect.

Yes people, we are now entering the Mansonian Era and if you aren't brainwashed, you're a threat.

Let that sink in.

Violet’s Rant; Democrats Love Making Fools Of Democratic Voters

Well, I wasn't sure exactly what to say this morning but thanks to some knucklehead I am going to throw this at you..... Ignorance is bliss and that's what democrats like.....keeping you uninformed and even worse misinformed. The Governor here in VA has pictures of himself in Blackface on his yearbook... and went as Michael Jackson for Halloween, yet no one says anything....because he's a democrat... yet we know if Donald Trump did that, that would be proof he's a racist right? We currently have 3 anti-American Muslims in our congressional office who are democrats and want to allow anyone in to our country and want to open borders and change our faith.....no one says anything because they are democrats..... Trump has brought prayer back into the White House. He is working towards stopping abortions that take the lives of babies who could live on their own, has decreased unemployment... which could actually give welfare recipients their dignity back and increased the stock market which has renamed us the "Superpower." He is building the wall to keep criminals out and protect YOU. And is supporting our police officers who are in jeopardy of democrat induced hate everyday they work. And you don't see the riots and looting in the streets since he has taken office. Yes, I guess I'd rather have Trump, than a double standard party that says one Governor can go as a black face but a president is prejudice even when there's no evidence of it!!! Abraham Lincoln was a Republican, the man who is responsible for freedoms of people of color. Teddy Roosevelt was a democrat and he was a member of KKK . Please stop listening to people, do your research for crying out loud. You are listening to what people are telling you!!!! You saw Mr. Cummings funeral.... Hillary and Obama made it political..... Trump didn't! Democrats want you to hate, so you won't see beyond that. They want to bring the plantation back... it’s called the government plantation!!! Everything is free but you! It doesn’t care if you're black or white. If you're poor they want to keep you poor. I want jobs for my grandchildren not welfare and my guess is you do too! Now, look at the Democratic Clinton's friends... Anthony Weiner, multiple charges on child pornography, Jeffrey Epstein who just committed suicide by murder in prison for child molestation and Jerry Bean, Obama's friend, who was just charged for sexually abusing young boys. And you think this is a coincidence? GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT AND STOP BEING LED BY LIARS like Schiff who has publicly lied to you yet he's hanging out with Pelosi, Harris, Yang and Waters who are letting their state burn to the ground!!!! and .....Hilary who hid 30,000 emails from the FBI......WHY? and Bill who "did not have sex with that woman" BUT DNA DON'T LIE!!!! The democrats love making fools of democratic voters and I am afraid you have been misinformed and you are a part of their campaign to hold you down and keep you down. I will be at the polls early and just as I did last election... I will spend the day praying for my country and those who are being manipulated.

God bless and be wise.

Violet’s Rant; Getting Rich Off The People They Are Supposed to Serve

Okay .... I didn't want to have to do this, I didn't want to have to go there. This is sensitive material; some will toss their phone across the room or maybe even toss their computer on the floor. But I am going to say it anyway. A lot of folks don't get this but there are people in the White House that have been getting rich for years, not ten or twenty but some nearly 40 years!!!! And they've been doing it on your hard-earned taxes.

That's right all that money they take out of your dollars at McDonalds, Dollar General and various other "I can hardly survive on this job" jobs is going towards their pay and somehow..... while you've been struggling to keep the lights on, they've been becoming millionaires. And guess what else? They have really good medical benefits and a wonderful pension plan that will support them after they are voted out of office and you know what else? They get paid with your tax dollars after you vote them out!!! Yup for the rest of their lives they get paid. To add insult to injury, they want to tell you, they are not going to help you get a better job... they want to keep you down by promising some more free stuff... Now, now don't get too upset because what they don't want you to realize is.....You are an American and you are the one who is control of whether they stay in office or not. That's right, you are an American and if you are sick and tired of working your butt off for a pittance of what they make, it's time to make your voice heard. You want the same dang thing they're getting. A good job, health insurance and a retirement plan. You want to be able to send your kids to college so they can have a better life. Sadly, democrats don't want that for you. It's obvious by the way they have been doing you for years. I mean, Obama was in office for 8 years....where are the jobs and was health insurance free? And if you still couldn't afford it.....Guess what? Yup, he punished you at the end of the year for not getting it and he did that by taking it out of your income taxes!

Then, in recent years some billionaire steps up and says, I am sick and tired of seeing how these rats are polluting our streets with homeless people who are using the bathroom on the streets of San Francisco and Lord let's not forget who is following close behind....New York, our Big Apple has forgotten their own and the Great State of California, where our movie stars live, has abandoned its own people!!! And now they're saying, "Trust me". It’s kind of like that old poster of a black panther sitting on a rock with the words "Trust me" written over its head. Yup, that's exactly what it's like.

Now, if you get all that Then you must realize the reason, they hate our president is because he is creating jobs so you can get out of the poverty you have been in for so long! Man, oh man...if he stays President you might not need their handouts. Then how will they control you? They won't be able to!!!!! And they're really not happy about that because you might vote to give yourself a raise instead of them giving themselves one, you might vote for independence and they won't be able stifle you.

If you feel like I do, you need to go to the polls Tuesday, and you need to push the button of the name with the (R) beside it and make it clear that you don't want their handouts! You don't want the poverty they keep offering you. You want a dang job! You want to buy a new car to get your kids safely up and down the road and you sure as heck don’t want to rely on them the rest of your life!

And I think it's very important that you understand that this isn't about the color of your skin it's about keeping the poor people poor. And remember your president has decreased employment at the lowest in over 50 years. He's the first man that wasn't a lawyer but a businessman. He saw through their behavior and had to set aside his own incredible earnings to run for President and even donates what he makes as president to organizations throughout our country! Now, let's thank him by voting and showing those who are holding you back that you're not as dumb as they think you are. Let's get the rats out of the White House and Americans off the street! And never forget our veterans! God bless and see you at the polls!!

"And The Band Played On." Watching The USA Fade Away.

For over 200 Years Americans have lived in a country that was free and respected. We fought with ourselves and other countries with some even leading to war. Our political process used to work. People were elected into positions to help their constituents and the American people as a whole. We looked up to men and women and honored them with statues and memorials throughout this great nation. WOW, sounds like an awesome place, right? It used to be, or at least I think so.

I remember as a child my mother using a small real to real tape recorder to memorialize speeches by great men like, John F Kennedy, Dr. Martin Luther King and news events from the television so we as children could learn great things from these people of honor, integrity and respect. We idolized these people then and some still do today. Civil Rights and leadership pushing the American people to reach for the stars was not a dream but a reality. We put men on the moon, we stopped segregation and realized that we are one. One in the same; Americans.

Today I sit here after I have watched, for at least the past 10 or so years, our own government representatives, at all levels of Government, take great efforts to destroy the very country we all claim to love. Corruption without action, decisions that are made against the will of the people, violating the basic fundamental rights guaranteed to us under the Constitution and dirty money changing hands as fast as the front runner in a NASCAR race.

I watched today the very political process that is sworn to protect us, used to systematically dismantle the infrastructure of our Republic that has been the cornerstone for over 200 years. All in the name of democracy/socialism. It sickens me that we have become this, allowing politicians that are supposed to serve the people who elected them to office only to watch then get rich by the people they swore to fight to become elected. This is at all levels of Government, from our school boards, count and city governments, state governments and our top offices within the Federal Government. Yet, we sit by and let it happen.

We have the right to vote but less than 20% vote in elections and if the weather is bad even less. Do we need a history lesson, our Constitution starts off with “We the People” the government belongs to all of us? Yet, we can’t make time to see our family or watch your child’s school game or play. Have we all become this uncaring about life and our country? This truly sickens me knowing that we have a Congress spending millions of our tax dollars on a witch hunt over a phone call. Yet, we have people walking the streets from past administrations that have committed sedition and treason against our country, and we don’t want to vote or be bothered.

I am starting the feel like I am on the Titanic, we are going down, while the band played on. People we are losing our country, our freedoms, and allowing good people to go down. We used to fight for what we believed in, what we stood for, we died for in the past, and millions of people lost their lives over this concept and “The Band Plays On”. We spend money we don’t have and raise taxes and “The Band Plays On” we sit in our homes watching television while the government sworn to protect us plan to take away our rights and “The Band Played On”.

People, you don’t have to like me, you don’t have to support me. All I ask is look at what is happening right in front of us. Before this band that is playing, finishes.

Gloucester County Supervisor Chris Hutson. Liberal or Conservative

Chris Hutson is endorsed by the Gloucester County Republican Party. Wonder if they know he is also endorsed by the Democrats? His name is listed on House of Delegates Democrat candidate Ella Webster's political mailing

Is Mr. Hutson a Liberal or a Conservative? You decide.

In my honest opinion, Mr. Hutson is more liberal than conservative.

Corrupt Race In Gloucester County’s Abingdon District? You Decide.

Gloucester County’s School Board has a long reputation of just following along with the school administrator’s agenda instead of addressing the concerns of and aligning with the visions of their constituents. Apparently, school administration does not have any problem with manipulating the School Board member election and appointment processes. On June 12, 2019 Abingdon District School Board member Randy Burak’s intention of not seeking reelection was announced publicly. This was one day after the deadline for candidates to file the necessary documents so their names would appear on the November 5^th ballot. Unfortunately, no one in the Abingdon District filed to be a candidate. This was an ideal setup for the School Board to be able to appoint an Abingdon resident of their and the school administrator’s choosing.

Fortunately for the residents of the Abingdon District and Gloucester County as a whole, Jane Wenner stepped up to run as a write-in candidate for the Abingdon district. That obviously did not sit right with the school system hierarchy so something had to be done to keep Jane Wenner from being elected by the people. That “something” is Mr. Burak’s decision to run as a write-in candidate against Jane Wenner. You see, certain people do not want Jane Wenner to be elected because as they put it, “She does not align with the current School Board’s visions.”

Mr. Burak entering the race is just another ploy to set the stage for the School Board to be able to appoint another School Board member. (Much like the shenanigans taking place in the Ware district School Board and Supervisor races.) All Mr. Burak has to do is get elected, attend a couple of meetings after the first of the year and resign off to retirement in another place. Then the School Board can appoint an Abingdon District member of their and the school administrator’s choosing.

I don’t know about you, but I believe I would be voting for Jane Wenner on November 5th if I lived in the Abingdon District.

Gloucester County, Virginia Voter’s Debacle

Election time has arrived again, who is best suited for the positions? The school system is now in the spotlight with two seats up for grabs in Ware and Abingdon districts.


The school board for many years has never challenged the superintendent. There is a historical record of yes votes without discussion or rejections. Now at this election a phenomenal process took place, a resignation by the board chairman, replaced by the Ware District member, and the Abingdon District member who decided not to seek reelection.


Two seats open, both to be filled by acclamation, one by ballot and one by write-in. Fair and simple. Now, hold on voters of these districts, the wind of clarity and opportunity for a fresh breeze in the sails has died.


What! Yes, the current Abingdon member decides to challenge the write-in candidate in his district after deciding not to run again. Why the change of heart? What voters need to understand are the process and politics of the board. Once elected, sworn in and attending a couple of meetings, he can resign. This ploy allows the sitting board to selection a “member of the club” who shares their thinking. Do you really want this same machine control over the next four years? Now is your chance to fill the sail with a fresh breeze.


Don’t leave: a similar situation has arrived at the very last minute in the Ware District. Now you have a candidate named on the ballot and a last-minute write-in to consider.


Now comes the hard question. You the voter must ask yourself who is the engineer behind this charade. Ask who will be the loser should it succeed: the taxpayer, the student, or the county overall?

Chris Hutson or Damien Kelly For Gloucester Point Supervisor? The Choice Is Simple.

The residents of Gloucester Point now have the opportunity to elect a Supervisor who has proven, through his campaign efforts and community involvement, he will be a representative of his constituents interests instead of an enabler of the agenda of just a few people in the county. Damien Kelly may be young and may not have the business or political experience touted by so many politicians, but he knows how important it is and is willing to engage, listen to and support issues important to the people he represents. The incumbent Gloucester Point Supervisor has a very strong and continuous track record of avoiding and or ignoring most of his constituents and supporting the agenda of just a few people in the county. Unlike his opponent, Damien Kelly will be a conservative addition to the Board of Supervisors who will fight to eliminate wasteful spending and for keeping taxes as low as possible. November 5, 2019 is the time to make a positive change. Vote Damien Kelly for Gloucester Point Supervisor.

Traitors' Quest To Divide And Conquer The USA From Within

America looks on with wide eyes and disbelief. Two of their favorite news broadcasting stations are being exposed as deceivers. For some, that doesn't bother them at all. In fact, their hunger pangs are more important.... but the American with values and morals is heartbroken, disgusted and angry. The days of Walter Cronkite... where, "we report, you decide" is no longer. It's a sad day for Americans on both sides of the aisle. Then the scope turns toward our blessed White House built by Americans who loved this country and everything it stood for. We gasp as we see the accusations of Adam Schiff and for a brief moment, we found ourselves questioning our President. At least until he tosses out his transcript of what was said. Sending the leftists reeling. How could he do that? The President has now opened the eyes to the American people .... that he suspected our previous vice president was involved in something dirty after openly saying he had a Ukrainian lawyer fired and coincidentally, his son is making money he isn’t qualified to make. Another blow to the left. This wasn’t supposed to happen like this! So, the Speaker of the house demands an unorthodox private inquiry which excluded the right from even sitting in on it. Never mind that her son also has ties to another large company in the Ukraine. The president must be stopped regardless of what the American people want.


Then comes the opportunity! The President made a decision that puts the Kurds at risk. A war we never should have become a part of yet lost our soldiers to... a cause that has never had purpose. Once again, behind his back they proceed to hinder his decisions. Since when did we scrutinize any other president as we have President Trump who won by a landslide through our American way? Wow! Other countries look on and wonder if America is not quite what it once was. The house is screaming ISIS will begin again and come terrorize our country! But, I ask ..... I must since no one else will. If you are so terrified of ISIS returning why do you want our borders open? Didn't the Speaker say "all are welcome?" Hasn't that been her fight? Oh, she isn't scared. Not the smiling Cheshire cat you saw standing behind Chuck Schumer after a walk out from her meeting. Yes, the one who walked out of a meeting she created but couldn't stand the heat. Couldn't tolerate someone who was exposing her and her cronies for their illegal and unethical behavior. I must say she hardly looked like a woman who had been offended but perhaps a manipulator who thought she had "something else on him now". Oh, did I mention the meeting went on uneventful after the two stooges excused themselves?


We are at a crossroad people; America is under attack by its very own. A house divided cannot stand. And the house has been divided since they lost control. Impeachment has been the only thing they have spent your hard-earned tax money on. They don't care how hard you worked for it; they'll spend it on the vendetta they have against the man who won't be their puppet. The man who has found a way to get his messages past the corruption in the news forum. As another is exposed for presenting terrifying war scenes in Syria, which were actually a range in Kentucky. Now, having three very apparently deceptive news stations. Exactly why the President has bypassed them and reached the American people through social media. How dare he? Their next move, stop the Presidents posts. Tell social media this must be stopped immediately. Are you surprised? You now have videos and paper trails exposing a deceptive media. And they want to censor our President from communicating to the American people?


This should horrify every true blooded American in this country.... this is not the American way and we have to put a stop to it. These people work for us we need to remind them of that. We need to stand up for our President. We need to look into OUR RIGHTS and pursue an action to cease what we see happening. We are their employers and they should be reminded of it. If you get a moment, check out Glen Beck on You Tube.... it's the one about a lawyer who was fired. Click Here To Hear The Story I won't try to make up your mind. Just listen to it. I think you're smart enough.


As I restlessly close my eyes I pray until sleep consumes me. I pray because it appears our greatest enemies have infiltrated our White House and our elected President is under attack. What a horrible thing to witness as deceptions roll out like it's a common practice. Pray for America...Pray for Our President. Pray without ceasing. Pray for the dangers our vice president will be standing in the midst of. Pray people.....God has been waiting to hear from you. ~ Good night all ~

Local Sheriff; Complaints About Massage Parlors, Warning; Sexually Explicit Content

(Story by; Chuck Thompson)

Tuesday, October 1st, at the Gloucester County Board of Supervisor's meeting held at the old colonial courthouse, Sheriff Darrell Warren was looking to get a public hearing on the creation of a special local ordinance that is outside of the purview of state code and equally outside of the Dillon Rule that local authorities are supposed to adhere to.  This new special local ordinance would create a new law against what is going on inside of local massage parlors making certain actions illegal in Gloucester County.  Now for some background on why the Sheriff is looking for such an ordinance.  Sheriff Warren claims that he has received numerous complaints about special services being practiced at several locations here in the county and that there are no state laws for which the Sheriff or his deputies can site against these massage parlors for these special services in an effort to stop future practices like this.

What are these special services?  (Warning, the following may be considered sexually explicit and may offend some readers. Caution is advised beyond this point).  Before we begin to explore these special services, let's define what they are not.  Vaginal, Anal and oral intercourse for a fee is considered prostitution within the state and there are laws in place that Sheriff Darrell Warren can take action on and stop these actions if they were going on inside of these massage parlors.  So, these are not the actions where complaints have been issued.  What is not covered is masturbation.  There are no state laws that forbid paying someone to masturbate or massage one's private areas, male or female.  Other complaints are also massage with nudity.  What was not said is who the nude parties are, if they are the massage therapists or the customers or both.  The indication seems to be both however.  The complaints later explained, were after mutual agreements between a customer and the massage therapist and there have been numerous complaints filed by multiple citizens.  Why is anyone's guess.

  One of the problems our forum had while discussing this is the violation of the Dillon Rule by counties in matters like this one.  How is one person to know the laws of one county to the next when traveling through them?  Once the lion is out of the bag, there is no stopping how far it will go in these situations.  One day what looks like a local ordinance to protect the county ends up with who knows how many later?   It's a very dangerous precedent once started, more will follow.  That is why the Dillon Rule is in place.

  So we sent out part of the TTC Media team to do some research and see if Sheriff Darrell Warren might be overlooking any laws to curb and or stop what he believes to be a breach of county ethics in an effort to save the people from themselves.  Why yes there is we found out.  Each massage therapist must be licensed by the state and they could very well be in violation of their state license if they are in fact giving customers hand jobs for a fee.  Besides, this is also a state matter if that is in fact not the case.

  We had a round table discussion on this matter and an interesting concept was brought up.  Could it be that Sheriff Warren wants the county ordinance in an effort to close these businesses down and force a Civil Asset Forfeiture upon them taking all of their money and assets?  We looked at that and what we see, this is an interesting question.  It would also make it impossible for the people who both own and or work at these locations to properly defend themselves as all of their money is taken from them.  In Civil Asset Forfeiture cases, rarely does anyone ever get their money back even if found to be innocent.  Great way to fund your department when the county isn't giving you the budget you would like for your department.

  Now we are not saying this is going to be the case with Sheriff Warren.  This only came up as a possible question in our discussions that makes for an interesting story.  There is also the question in regards to the timing of this.  It's re election time.  What a powerful story this could make days before the election to help sway the vote.  Not that Sheriff Warren really needs any help here anyway.  But it sure does not hurt.  Positive news spin and who knows how much in cash and assets all in one single move?

  Another interesting fact that came up in the round table discussions is that these massage parlors are believed to be owned by folks of oriental decent.  Eastern philosophy is much different than western philosophy in that orientals believe that a massage should have a positive outcome.  A question of intolerance for their beliefs may be of concern to some.  This is not brought up in defense of their practices, just an interesting note.  It was equally brought up with interest that failure to address masturbation for a fee by state legislatures may be for reasons we might not be aware of and they may not wish to discuss.  Either way, it's going to be interesting to see how this plays out over the next few months here in Gloucester.
