When it comes to addressing homelessness. Good Now, this comes as the county leaders blasted the city Council for a lack of communication when the city decided to buy and convert that that hotel in the northwest side of town into Ah homeless shelter. Here's Senator Certner. We need to find a better way forward to address the homeless situation. In central Texas. But what has been enacted by the city of Austin through their city Council is not right. Talking about the purchase of the Candlewood Suites there in district six. Now, County Judge Bill Gravel, He said it a little bit better than Charles. Shorten her. Did you have stepped over the line? Without coming to the table and having a conversation. I'm willing to have that conversation. But if you are not, we will take you to a conversation in the local courthouse and you will not be pleased with the outcome. You go ahead. He has even got a phone call from the mayor said You just unbelievable and they're unwilling, apparently unwilling to talk all except one council person. And it's beyond me why they're handling it like this is very, very aggressive, very inconsiderate. It's a lot of things. It's reckless. It's horrible for the It's a horrible thing for the community up there. This isn't the way to go about it at all There has to be there has to be a lot of communication when you've decided to move a bunch of homeless people. Into a building right next Torun businesses and residents There needs to be a lot of comedians communication about that. It was a bitter cold night, hundreds of people sleeping in tents or sleeping in bushes all across our city. This homeless community. Why didn't the mayor open up the open up the convention center for to keep people warm overnight, maybe even for the next few nights. I mean, you got that those beds ready there for covert patients that we're not going to use that much? Not not at all. I got a few in there Well, and they don't really need. That was plenty of space and other places. That's right. But you got what 1500 beds. I think the mayor set up. You could get a lot of people out of the elements for the next few nights. Sure. You think you'll do that? No. You think they'll do that. The answer is what would that be A good idea? I don't know if that be a good idea or not. Well, if you consider, you know, the temperatures were gonna hammer over the weekend. What you're down in the single digits, Potentially Put him in a warm, big building. Yeah, I think the latter Yeah. Yeah, thanks. So, But I don't think this city is prepared to even do that city is not prepared to handle an emergency crisis to house 1000 people. No, but they can spend a million bucks very quickly on the hotel's on a hospital set up in the convention center. Yeah, I don't I don't get it's weird set of priorities. It is six away. How about this guy that stole the fire truck last night and led police on a guess you could call it a slow moving chase. Yeah. The Austin police officers reported a man driving in a FD truck near the U. T campus. They called in a report and GPS later got involved in the truck was eventually brought to a stop about an hour later in the North bound. I 35 in general, they had you spike strips He was arrested by his name's not been released yet. It's also unclear how do you manage to steal the truck? Right out of the firehouse.

Now, Biden declared that the violent radical left wing group and TIFA is an idea, not an organization. He have quoted testimony from the FBI director Christopher Wray. That antifa was more of a movement or ideology than an organization now when he forgot to mention Buyten. Forgetting it's common is that the FBI director also testified that Antifa is a real thing that is coalescing regionally into small groups and is among the most violent anarchist extremists under FBI investigation. Now for anybody who follows the news, there's no debate. Antifa cells have been perpetrating violence and vandalism for years. Self identified Antifa members committed arson and destroyed property of the Trump inauguration. Portland, Oregon has been under siege by Antifa for months. Now, Aside from the nightly riots and arson, they've even tried to set fire to police stations with cops and other people inside. For years, Antifa has been causing violent chaos in Portland and also in Seattle. The main question isn't whether Antifa is an organization or an idea. The only important question is why Democratic mayors and governors have put up with antifa and haven't called for the federal help. They need to crush these violent anti American extremists. And we know why. Last year, there was a victim of identity theft every three seconds. That means a cyber Ben guy could be selling your personal info on the dark Web without you.

All this City Council is going to Iraq to they're going to find a to least 10 shelters in this city one in every district. That is the goal on that's what they're going to do. That's what the voters of Austin, Texas wants. They put this city council in place. They may not want a homeless shelter in their neighborhood near their home and their their business. But the City Council is going to find 10 places for a homeless shelter. That's that's their mission. That's their stated goal. Yeah, I guess no matter what, but this one is the wrong location. This is a bad set up for so many reasons. So move on. Look for another possibility. If you need something in that part of the world, find another possible. What do you see?

Also, voters will decide in May whether or not to shift Austin Toe a strong mayor system. Of governing. You know where the mayor has the veto power over the city Council is Where is the power to basically get rid of the city manager? This is pretty pretty interesting. Yeah, The proposal has a lot of critics. Kind of Anna Gonzalez of the Workers Defense Project says it would run district representation. Our ability to succeed is in part because power life with council members and not one individuals. Could be to a proposal that we know could be beneficial. Yeah, the council could override the mayoral Vito with the super majority vote. Supporters believe the change would create a more more equity across all parts of the city. This is something Greg Hussars pushing. Well, it depends on who the mayor is right now. I'm not gonna feel good about the possibility was happening because we got a mayor that's going to drive the city in the ground. He's already doing it. He's doing it in front of our very eyes. And we have a city council that are supporting him in that, for the most part, So if we if we had a mayor that I felt that was going to do good things for Austin that had intentions of doing that, and clearly we have one that doesn't I would feel much better about 609 in time for the brush update. Another ranch from an American college professor has come to light. This one comes from Dr Nathan Joon, who teaches philosophy at Midwestern State University of Wichita Falls, Texas. Last weekend, Dr June posted on Facebook. I want the entire world to burn until the last cop is strangled with the intestines of the last capitalist. Was strangled in turn when the intestines of the last politician now on top of this guy's obsession with intestines, you can assume that his hatred of law enforcement in capitalism fits right in with some of the others who are teaching America's young people. University defended their professor. I said that when their faculty members expressed themselves as private citizens, they are entitled of First Amendment protections. Even if their opinions are offensive and shocking, Professor June isn't going to face any institutional censorship for discipline. But here's the thing. Midwestern state universities of public universities, so Texas taxpayers Have a right to express their uncensored opinion on who they underwrite in the classroom. And you parents paying to send your kids to MSU. You also have a right to express yourselves now, if you don't want your kids exposed to this uncensored hatred. Of law enforcement and American capitalism. You have every reason to impose some societal discipline of your own and just quit supporting this and tell Dr June it's time for his July he's out of there.

Williamson County commissioners may express their opposition to that purchase on the commissioner's court agenda this week is item 44 asking Austin to delay the purchase of the Candlewood Suites on Picon part for 180 days. It's not just that hotel, though, but rather any property under consideration for lease or purchase to house, the homeless and Williamson County. The agenda says the city of Austin has considered this for two years and hasn't provided sufficient information to county commissioners. Our concern is the county has no way of knowing what impact these facilities may have. The city's boat was delayed last week, but the county says a one week delay is just not enough.

But importantly, we really need that neighborhood to help us develop best practices on what it is that the city should be doing. He also says this one Be the last hotel that's acquired. Austin's longer range goal is to snatch up available motels and every council district and convert them all in a taxpayer funded housing for the homeless. On the other side of that debate, though, are the adjacent business owners, many of whom say they were not made aware that the city was planning to purchase the Candlewood suites, Nor do they feel their concerns of being heard Aside from safety concerns.

It's 10. 0351283605 90, The Washington Post, says Senate Democrats Now we're thinking about a rapid fire. We're in. We're out. Quick Impeachment trial for former President Trump one week rapid fire Which to me? Kind of goes against them, saying how important this is that this has to be done. This man has to be held accountable. It is just of utmost national security that we do this, but we wanted in and out in a day or two, you know? Well, it's just kind of worked through all of the stuff. Hey, I don't think they should be doing the trial to start with. But if you're going to go ahead with doing the trial, then do the trial the right way. Yes, because the framers considered it a measure of last resort, a very serious method that should be used in very rare circumstances. They didn't want it to become a once a year twice a year kind of a measure to remove the president from office. It should be rare in case of emergency, break the glass and remove the president. So you make a really good point that if we're going to engage in this super serious process, do it right. But they're now considering a one week process, and most of it will just be watching videos that are being produced right now by outside firms. Yeah, And, uh, to me that way. We know we saw it. We all most of us now. I won't say all because there were some that participated in this, uh Most of us watch that and we're disgusted by what we saw. We didn't agree what was happening or why it was happening. And we we we were watched it. I don't know that we need to watch it again. Um, we don't get a vote anyway, so it's really all about show, but there's I don't know how replaying that They think they're going to change the 45 minds of the Republicans who voted that this wasn't constitutional even have a trial. They're not. So it's all about just putting those images out there again again. It's all about politics. It's not so much about. Are we doing right or wrong? It's about we have to show this again. We need to tie this back to former President Trump and we we have to make sure that this is in their minds, but only you know, within a couple of days or two. Well, it's clear now they're not going to get the Republican votes to convict him and without a conviction, they can't approve the measure to bar him from holding office in the future. So now they're they're looking at other ways to get to that point where they can bar him from holding office in the future, And they're looking at the 14th amendment. Can we somehow pass a resolution of censure in the Senate and crafted in a way that would bar him from holding office from now on? Right. No one knows that. That's constitutionally. Even some liberal constitutional experts at Harvard are saying. We're not convinced that you can do that to former President Trump under the 14th amendment. So they They're in a quandary. Now in the Senate, they're not quite sure what to do or where to go well, and it sounded like to me that The trial will happen, And then once they don't get that conviction, this would be the next route that they try to take. And Again. It's century. Yeah, it Z that great area is any of this even constitutional to keep doing this. They're in point there in game is to bar him from office again. And so I feel like They're not going to give up that until they feel like they have tried everything that maybe at their disposal. Whether it's constitutional or not. Bernie Sanders is joining the Democrats who now favor a very quick trial, he says. We need to do this as quickly as possible, and then it started addressing the needs of working families. And Chuck Schumer is quoted in this Washington Post article is saying most of it will focus on the video that's now being produced. We're going to show videos, all of the members of the jury the senators were here. We lived through this. We don't need a lot of witnesses. And arguments will watch the video and then make up our mind. I think you do need to allow, and I think you have to allow the trumps defense team too. Have arguments on this because we're now hearing some of the individuals that have been arrested and charged with taking part in this. We're hearing some of the information coming out on them like when they started getting together. And when this thing was started to be planned, and it wasn't at least when I look at the date, one of the dates that sticks out is November 9th. That there was talk about going to the capital. Stopping these Politicians from legitimizing the election on November 9th. I can't I mean, I. It's been a crazy the last few months while the level for the last few years I don't even think that November 9th. We had a clear cut winner for the presidential elections. So to say that what Donald Trump coming out and saying it was a stolen election. These guys airplane landed on November the ninth. I don't know that you can say his words inside it. That planning which then is why we have the capital violence and that's what they are impeaching on is that he incited this. A four count indictment unsealed yesterday in Washington, D C. Alleges that three of the people now charged with breaking into the capital and rioting Started planning on November night. They live in Virginia and Ohio and that they conspired with other people to meet on the sixth of January. And attack the capital. And they go into a lot of details about these three people and some of their training sessions ahead of time. But Melinda's right, the government is building a case that this this was not a spontaneous action by these people who attacked the capital after they heard the president's speech that day. It was in the works for a long time, right? I mean, you're talking six days after seven days after the election. They were already planing this Did was Donald Trump already they had, he said, enough times it was stolen again. I'm not even sure we knew the actual election results. We were still waiting on Georgia. For goodness sakes. I would anticipate the House managers will try to make the case that.
