So the 18-year-old student accused in a shooting at an ARLINGTON, Texas high school was released from jail Thursday after posting bond. Police accuse Timothy George Simpkins of opening fire in a classroom Wednesday at Timberview High School in Arlington. Two people were shot and two others suffered unspecified injuries. He was jailed on three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The Police said the shooting happened after a fight, but Simpkins’ family said he had been bullied and robbed twice at school.
His mother who was on video trying to justify why he made the decision to shoot up the people he did saying he was being bullied… Me as someone who was bullied in school I never took a gun or a knife to school. My parents put me in martial arts and I went in the following year and the first time the bullying started I kicked the persons ass. No need to go home grab a gun, and go back to shoot anyone. But when I was a kid we would fight it out and win or lose life went on. But this school shooting makes less sense when you take into account that this Simkkins kid who’s mom said was bullied is on video kicking the crap out of one of the kids he tried to shoot.
“The decision he made, taking the gun, we’re not justifying that,” said family spokeswoman Carol Harrison Lafayette, who spoke to reporters outside the Simpkins’ home Wednesday night while standing with other relatives. “That was not right. But he was trying to protect himself.” Police said a 15-year-old student who was shot remained in critical condition while a 25-year-old teacher who was shot was in good condition Thursday.
Wednesday, June 30 2021: President Donald J. Trump visits the border down in Weslaco, TX for a Border Security Briefing with state officials and law enforcement. Like a real President Donald Trump went, and visited our members of law helping to secure our borders given the crisis created by the Biden/Harris misadministration.

We need a real PRESIDENT in the White House.
MEXIA, Texas (KWTX) – Kelly Reagan Brunner, a social worker at the Mexia State Supported Living Center, has been charged with 134 counts in an election fraud investigation involving the registration of 67 of the facility’s residents, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced in a press release late Friday afternoon.
She’s accused of submitting voter registration applications for the 67 residents “without their signature or effective consent, while purporting to act as their agent,” Paxton said in the press release. Only a parent, spouse or child who’s a qualified voter of the county may act as an agent in registering voters and they must be appointed by the prospective voter to do so, Paxton said.
“None of the SSLC patients gave effective consent to be registered, and a number of them have been declared totally mentally incapacitated by a court, thereby making them ineligible to vote in Texas,” Paxton said. “Registering citizens to vote or to obtain mail ballots without their consent is illegal. It is particularly offensive when individuals purport to be champions for disability rights, when in reality they are abusing our most vulnerable citizens in order to gain access to their ballots and amplify their own political voice,” Paxton said.
More than 75% of Limestone County voters cast ballots Tuesday for President Donald Trump… All these fraud votes from what’s being reported are cast in favor of Biden.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) ripped CNN host Chris Cuomo for the network’s bias against President Donald Trump and for the way his brother, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), handled the coronavirus, and like normal Cuomo kept interrupting, and insulting Ted Cruz. This is the tactic of the left. They have nothing so this is what they do.
“Chris, there was a time when CNN actually cared about being journalistic and talking about facts,” Cruz said Wednesday. “Donald Trump broke you guys. I mean your entire show, your entire network now is just how much you hate Trump.”
“When I’m back in Texas, people in Texas don’t understand why the press is just like the only thing you talk about is how much you hate the President,” the Senator said. CUOMO: I know you’re a master debater. And Professor Dershowitz tells me you were the star smartest student he ever had at Harvard Law. You’re going to go with that weak-ass argument here? Byrd, who had a complete enlightenment about how hate was wrong, who changed his life, who spoke about it.” But yet they keep accusing Trump of being a racist! Byrd was a racist, and Trump wasn’t ever in the KKK but Byrd was.

CRUZ: Chris, Chris, have you ever– CUOMO: –who changed his ways? CRUZ: –eulogized a Klansman? CUOMO: You’re going to– CRUZ: I haven’t. CUOMO: He was a– CRUZ: Or I’ll give you another example. CUOMO: Listen, but no, no, no, hold on. That’s your example. CRUZ: How about right – hold on. CUOMO: That’s your example. You’re going to use that– CRUZ: No, I’ll give you another one. CUOMO: –you’re going to – well but hold on. CRUZ: I can give you a lot of examples. CUOMO: But hold on, because I don’t want you to run away from the premise, Senator. I’m not you, but I’m not a fool either. He did it in Charlottesville. He did it with David Duke. The old Ted Cruz, who he called Lyin’ Ted, when he wasn’t insulting your wife and your father, tweeted, “Hey, you’re better than this, Mr. President.” What happened to that Ted? I don’t know if he changed or did just you changed, for some reason, Senator? CRUZ: Chris, I’m glad you take tips on insults from other folks. CUOMO: Really? Am I insulting you, Sir? CRUZ: Oh, yes. CUOMO: How so? CRUZ: Oh, yes, you are. CUOMO: How so? CRUZ: And you’re enjoying it. That’s fine. CUOMO: I’m not enjoying it at all. CRUZ: Chris? CUOMO: I’m not enjoying anything about this. CRUZ: Chris, there was a time– CUOMO: Except having an opportunity for you to say the right thing at the right time. CRUZ: Chris, there was a time when CNN actually cared about being journalistic and talking about facts. Donald Trump broke you guys. I mean you’re just– CUOMO: Really? CRUZ: –your entire show, your entire network now is just how much you hate Trump. CUOMO: Really? CRUZ: And you know what? I think a lot of people like are interested in – you said in your opening, it was very interesting, you said the President didn’t say anything positive about the country. Well I thought the most important moment in the debate, last night, was when the President made very clear that Joe Biden’s policy agenda of shutting down the country, shutting down small businesses, and shutting down schools, and our priority needs to be opening up the economy, bringing jobs back, getting kids back in school. And that’s a very different policy agenda. We have had an enormous economic impact from this pandemic. We need to restart the economy. And I think the President and Joe Biden have very different visions. Joe Biden’s policies, I think, don’t work and hurt a whole lot of people. And when I’m back in Texas, people in Texas don’t understand why the press is just like the only thing you talk about is how much you hate the President. CUOMO: Ted? Ted? CRUZ: I get that the President’s not your friend, fine. CUOMO: Senator, when you were in the campaign, do you want me to read through some of the things you said about Donald Trump? You want to talk about somebody who had a chance to talk about policy, but just stuck with the person? Nobody did it more than you did. That’s why he gave you the nickname he did and beat you down with it. The idea that you’re going to put that on the media, my brother, you were the guy who went on Twitter, talking about my naked ass, but you won’t tell him, when he’s being an ass. So, why would you put it on me? CRUZ: Chris, fine, you hate the President. I get it.
Tuesday, Shelley Luther advanced to a runoff election for a Dallas-area set in the Texas State Senate as a Republican! Now if you don’t know her Luther is a salon owner in Dallas who had the “temerity” to reopen her business during the coronavirus lockdown, and for the crime of making sure she and her employees would be able to feed their families, went to jail. You know after what Pelosi did and nothing happened to her this lady Shelley deserves a public apology.
When she defied Governor Abbott’s lockdown orders, she was issued a citation. She tore up the citation when it was issued. She was found in civil and criminal contempt of court for ignoring a restraining order. Dallas Civil District Judge Eric Moyé ordered Luther to seven days in jail and fined her $500 for every day the salon stayed open. She was given the opportunity to apologize and not serve any time in jail but she refused to do so. She went on to explain to the judge why she reopened.
“If you would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge that your actions were selfish, putting your own interest ahead of those in the community in which you live,” Moyé said to Luther inside the courtroom Tuesday.
Luther refused.
“I have to disagree with you sir, when you say that I’m selfish because feeding my kids is not selfish,” she said. “I have hairstylists that are going hungry because they’d rather feed their kids. So sir, if you think the law is more important than kids being fed then please go ahead with your decision but I’m not going to shut the salon.”
Abbott released a statement at the time which disagreed with the judge putting Shelley in jail. He quickly understood that she had the sympathies of Texans as a woman operating a small business, trying to support her children.
“As I have made clear through prior pronouncements, jailing Texans for non-compliance with executive orders should always be the last available option,” he said. “Compliance with executive orders during this pandemic is important to ensure public safety; however, surely there are less restrictive means to achieving that goal than jailing a Texas mother.”
Dallas Salon Owner Who Went to Jail for Violating Lockdown Advances to Runoff for State Senate Seat 👏👏👇🏻 https://t.co/6ojq51PoA2
Governor Abbott reopened salons and barbershops shortly after all this happened. Senator Ted Cruz was supportive of her and enjoyed some publicity for going to her salon for a haircut. Luther will be facing state Rep. Drew Springer. The date for the runoff is yet to be set.
Shelley Luther is the someone every struggling American can admire. She had the courage to defend her principles, and that’s a quality we should want in anyone we elect.
Ok so today I think we need to find a way to hand Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas a fucking Medal of some sort this man is brilliant! He introduced a resolution on Thursday to ban the Democratic Party or any other political party that supported slavery. Yes folks this is exactly what you just read… Gohmert’s resolution also calls on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to have all items removed from the House of Representatives wing of the U.S. Capitol or the connected House office buildings that name any political party or organization that supported slavery. The move came a day after a measure supported by Pelosi regarding Confederate statues passed the House. That bill calls for the removal from the Capitol statues of those who backed the Confederate States of America, Politico reported.
This is brilliant actually this makes it be known where the so called lovers of the Negro, and the party that claims they all “for the poor black folk” actually stand! Gohmert explained in a statement regarding his resolution that “a great portion of the history of the Democratic Party is filled with racism and hatred.” “Since people are demanding we rid ourselves of the entities, symbols, and reminders of the repugnant aspects of our past, then the time has come for Democrats to acknowledge their party’s loathsome and bigoted past, and consider changing their party name to something that isn’t so blatantly and offensively tied to slavery, Jim Crow, discrimination, and the Ku Klux Klan,” he said. Yes here it is the shit’s hitting the fan, and it’s in the face of the people who are trying to destroy this country, and re-write history… Well time to deal with their own history, and man oh man this is good stuff… The conservative stalwart went on to argue that in light of calls to rename schools, military bases and city streets, the Democratic Party should follow suit.
“Whether it be supporting the most vile forms of racism or actively working against Civil Rights legislation, Democrats in this country perpetuated these abhorrent forms of discrimination and violence practically since their party’s inception,” Gohmert said. LOVE This guy! “To avoid triggering innocent bystanders by the racist past of the Democratic Party, I would suggest they change their name. That is the standard to which they are holding everyone else, so the name change needs to occur,” he concluded. Now if the DemocRATS refuse this than we know that to them Black Lives never mattered, and it’s all been a big political con job on the people. The facts are all coming out… In his resolution, Gohmert pointed out that the Democratic platform in the 1840s and ’50s, before the outbreak of the Civil War, explicitly called for Congress not to interfere with the institution of slavery and warned to do so would “endanger the stability and permanency of the Union.”
The document further highlighted that Democrats in Congress did not offer one vote in support of the post-Civil War 14th Amendment, guaranteeing the newly freed slaves equal protection of the law, and the 15th Amendment, granting them the right to vote. Gohmert noted the Democratic President Woodrow Wilson introduced a segregation policy in the U.S. government in 1912. Additionally, it was Democrats who waged a 75-day filibuster in the Senate in an attempt to block the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Republicans supported that legislation in higher percentages than Democrats in both the Senate and the House. In contrast to the Democratic Party, the Republican Party was founded to halt the growth of slavery in the 1850s. The party’s first president, Abraham Lincoln, oversaw slavery’s demise. It is no wonder abolitionist and former slave Frederick Douglass was a staunch Republican.
Democratic politicians in the Southern states responded to blacks Americans’ new freedoms by passing Jim Crow, segregationist laws starting in the late 1800s. They also populated the ranks of the Ku Klux Klan, formed to terrorize African-Americans and keep them in subjugation. Lest one think this is ancient history, the nation’s longest-serving senator, Democrat Robert Byrd, led a Ku Klux Klan chapter in his native West Virginia when he was a young man. When the former Senate majority leader died in 2010, Hillary Clinton lauded him as her “mentor” and “the heart” of the Senate. Meanwhile, in the years since the Civil War, Republicans stayed true to their roots of supporting the rights of African-Americans. President Ulysses Grant, a Republican, sent the Army into the Southern states to protect African-Americans from Klan and other white supremacist-inspired violence. He also championed the passage of the 15th Amendment in 1870 guaranteeing black Americans the right to vote as a means to help them secure political power. Decades later, it was Republican President Dwight Eisenhower who signed the Civil Rights Act of 1957 into law, the first such legislation since the Civil Rights Act of 1875 under Grant.
Eisenhower also sent the 101st Airborne Division into Little Rock, Arkansas, to enforce the Supreme Court’s ruling in Brown v. Board of Education, which mandated integrating public schools. By way of comparison, Joe Biden in the 1970s opposed student busing programs, which was a primary means used to desegregate public schools. Gohmert’s right. The Democrats have a troubling record on race, and it’s time for a reckoning.
