There Are No Atheists in Foxholes or Hawkins, Texas

January 12, 2017 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Okay, so deep in the heart of East Texas lies the little town of Hawkins, Texas, population ’round about 1,300 folks.  Hawkins is in Wood County, a place where Donald Trump got 84% of the vote, which is slightly less than the 85% who voted for Louie Gohmert.  It ain’t a festering hotbed of liberalism. Hell, it ain’t even a rocking cradle of moderation.

Mark and Marie McDonald have a church there named the Jesus Christ Open Altar Church and they hold services once a month on the fourth Sunday.

 

I don’t know why they don’t meet every Sunday but I suspect the explanation has something to do with government, paranoia, and the gun club meetings.

Anyway, the McDonalds erected a huge ole sign that says Jesus Welcomes You To Hawkins.

 

All their signs are purple and gold and I have no clue why that is.  Probably football.  I dunno.

They erected this sign on the city easement and somebody got wind of that and next thing you know somebody is complaining.  The city told them they had to take it down. The McDonalds hired a lawyer who claimed they own the property. They don’t.

Well, have mercy, they are getting a new lawyer and starting all over again.  You wanna know why?

Atheists.

In city damn hall.

The atheists at city hall falsified the paperwork on the land easement and the McDonald’s own lawyer was in on this.

In a seven-page prepared statement released to the News-Journal, the couple said they’re being discriminated against by people in city government or working for the city who are atheists.

“Discrimination by the city which holds the atheist religion over our religion is not allowed by the law,” Marie McDonald said.

Holy cow, alert an archeologist – an adherent of the atheist religion has been found in East Texas and works at city hall.

Right now I’m trying to figure out why the McDonalds don’t just go nail themselves to that cross out front of their church and save the city a mess of court costs.

 

And in Other News…the Other Shoe

Big news days yesterday and today.  The Cheetopalooza in front of the press was, in his own words, “a disgrace”.  While calling the intelligence dossier “fake news”, and unsubstantiated, he categorically denied it.  THEN, a BBC correspondent, Paul Wood, revealed that there is a SECOND source confirming the assertions in the report:

AND, in other well timed irony, the law firm advising CJ on his conflicts, by pure coincidink, is Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, which has been named “Russia Law Firm of the Year” for 2016 by law profession directory Chambers & Partners for its “high-profile” work in Russia.

It doesn’t get any better than this.  I’m popping popcorn.

Can you imagine how difficult it has been today for conservatives today to explain to their children the meaning of golden showers?  LOL!!!

(sorry, Momma)

There’s a fire on the 13th floor of the Watergate —

Okay, so the writ twit advising Trump that he can put his business in a regular trust, turn it over to his sons, and pinky promise that he’ll never discuss it with them, is …. ta da!

 

According to the Morgan Lewis website, the firm’s Moscow office has a healthy practice, with more than 40 lawyers helping corporate clients navigate the Russian legal landscape.

Why does that not knock my socks off?

Thanks to Bubba for the heads up.

One week from Friday

Okay, I am glued to the teevee watching a train wreck.

Feel free to make snide remarks here.

 

Remember: the man who spend years screaming that Obama was born in Kenya is now screaming about fake news.
