I am getting more and more of these type of messages including a couple and I am paraphrasing here.... What would it take for the Texas Ranger to come in and investigate the Buna Independent School District? And as one message I received put it..." I know it is not what we really want, but in the end, will it save us?"
I look at both the Houston ISD and the Beaumont ISD and cringe at what is going on there, and go...." Man, do we need that, or somehow an outside auditing source to come in and look at the money/finances instead?"
I know in Watergate the inside source known as Deep Throat supposedly told Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward to " Follow the Money."
Of course, when it boils down to it, nearly everything revolves around money. Sad....But true....
_ I know many of you patron and especially parents have "Had Enough" Many of you are starting to file reports with the Texas Education Agency( TEA) concerning actions and possible legal or illegal actions concerning the school district.
There are people in the community getting stirred up to the point they are doing something about the district, not just complaining, but are going those extra steps.
I've heard from patrons who are seriously looking at running for the board, and in November, there will be 3 position up for election.....Now is the time to decide to run.
- Someone was wondering why I was "griping" about likes on Facebook. I do not think you know how much it helps readership, especially for my intended audience. The algorithm on Facebook is controlled by the likes, so much and helps me reach viewership. No one 'likes' and the number of hits are down. And I know who likes, loves, etc. the blog. And I SO appreciate it.
And I know some of you cannot let people know you are reading. We appreciate your readership. Some someone wrote me this past week and told me that they could not like for fear of what someone " at the church might think of them...."
Don't get me started on the church.....I wrote/am writing a blog on religion in 2026, including Buna and religion. I am still polishing up, trying not to make too many people mad. Perhaps, I should not even care?
- I number of you have told me that I need to somehow monetize the blog. In the past, I had a Pay Pal link on the blog page, but I removed it because people who really should not have been given me a donation, were. I know I give it back to them at Christmas so they could get their kid's gifts, and get a hen, or ham for the holiday. ( I prefer a hen and dressing over turkey.)
So, if I put a Venmo or Pay Pal wiget on the blog, don't feel like you must donate. If I get enough to buy Mrs. Thomas and myself a pizza, Fred a bag of 9lives, well, thank you, and if not, thank you for reading. I am certainly not doing this to get paid. I am trying to fight what is more and more looking like a @ Lost Cause.@
- I was going to write more information in this blog, but I will save it for a future publication. I don't know where it will lead, and to be honest, I keep receiving information on the future topic, and it is changing what I planned to write.
- Finally, if there is one thing I need more than anything else, please remember me in your prayers.
Blog writing is often a hard, pay-less, often thankless labor.
If I know there are people speaking to the Divine on my behalf, it helps a great deal. I do not think you know how much. I know many of you are not people of faith and if you would just think about me positively from time to time, just knowing you support me, well, it helps, a great deal. Especially when you are feeling like you are out on that limb alone.
