I will probably post/publish this blog next week and perhaps the week afterward when I come back blogging on a regular basis.
We are doing this because believe it or not, we have some new people join " The Govteach Part Deaux" group on Facebook.
I am not blocking anyone at this point.
I am not purging anyone from Facebook.
I really encourage you to join the Govteach Part Deaux group on Facebook, as it generally gets the publication sometimes hours before I post it on Facebook. Other times, they are posted about the same time.
This might be the most important thing I post in this blog.
I am always looking for information, for stories. For news if you will.
I may take heat for whatever it is I write from your information. Sometimes the heat, well, it is heavy. Very, very heavy.
I have people in the Buna community who literally hate me.
The school districts in the region, the county entities sometimes forget that they have their jobs because of the tax payer.
Is the tax payer always right? No, but in their mind they often have a beef worth listening to, and often I don't publish their complaint because it hold no merit. And because of that, there are people mad at me. Their complaint is just normal government operating business. The same thing is happening to other people, and if it isn't fair, well, I will call it out. If it is fair, well, I'm sorry, all government entities act in this manner.
Really mad.
Concerning schools, I don't trust teachers, or administrators, or the political leadership thereof said school district.
Nor do I really trust elected officials and my brother is one.
And I never reveal my sources.....Never.
I am very serious about keeping who told me what anonymous.
Again, I'm not making any money here, I have no advertisers so I don't care who I go after. If I were to turn commercial, well, I have to start worrying about who I might offend and lose a sponsor.
I have thought about putting my Venmo / paypal widget on the blog, but just have not. Again, I may have to say something not so positive about a sponsor.
Most people send me messages through Facebook, or if you'd like here is my email.
kdthomas1957@gmail.com
Please, do not send me advertising through my email.
At one time I let people have my cell number, but no longer.
( I am funny about my phone number and if you have it, please do not give it out "willy-nilly." Some folks think they can call me at 1AM. About the only folks I will answer at that time is my wife, mother, child, DIL, nephew.)
-Warning- I often use bad words.
- I often have a libertarian view on a lot of ideologies. In the mid-1970s, I read an article in Playboy magazine written by Karl Hess. You've got to remember that Playboy when first started it had interviews and articles written by everyone from Jimmy Carter to William F. Buckley to George Lincoln Rockwell to Malcolm X to Mary Calderone. Especially on Social issues.
- I live a private life. I'm not a party goer, including going to my own family events. When I leave the family events, I often do an old " Irish Exit" and just go without saying "Goodbye." I have been invited to a BHS reunion this coming Sept in Lumberton. I may or may not go. I went to a BHS reunion a couple of years ago and was told by an attendee " I hate you, I hoped never to see you again."( I wished I had not had gone. I was sort of at a low point at that time, and really put me into a depression. I have to remember I did not cater to those in the clique that still exists, and yes it exists Buna, don't tell me otherwise.) So, I've not been to another reunion.....Including my own 50th HS reunion this past month.
- At some point, I am going to write something to upset you. Sorry, but I often look back at things I have written in the past and upset myself.
- I still try and pray very early, every morning. I have a prayer list. LMK if you want to be added.
- Yes, I often cuss and pray. Sometimes within the same minute. St. Paul had the same problem.( "The good that I should do, I do not.")
- I am often asked why I write on the Buna Public Schools...Believe it or not, I care about the Buna ISD. I want the district to be fair. I want tax dollars to be spent evenly. I want the poor parents kids to treated the same as the wealthiest family's children. And sometimes it is difficult to help those kids, and often, I get more flak helping them than any other blog I might publish....( That and if I say something about a person they go to church with, they'll come out of the woodwork to support them, mostly because I don't attend that church....and then, if something else happen, and throw that same person that attend church services with " under the bus" in a heartbeat, at a time the person in trouble need psychological and spiritual support.....That just amazes me. Hypocrisy knows no bounds often within a church.....Sorry, it just does sometimes.... )
I do not think you know.
Once again, I take blog requests and information very serious. And I do research on requests.
Thank you for reading. It means a great deal when you like/love etc the blog, it also means a great deal when you send me private messages thanking me for writing blogs. Without them, I have no way to gauge if people like what I am doing or not.
In the next several days will start blogging regularly.
Again, thank you for reading.
