Local fed up with politicians ruining our city. Independent thinker and common sense practitioner. Opinions are my own. NOT part of SAVE AUSTIN NOW PAC
Here is a different angle of the reported who claimed he was pushed yesterday. He LIED. Never wonder why people hate the media.
@fox7austin
and employees are the worst in Austin and it’s not even close.
@nypost
So essentially they want to screw over predominantly black women and erase the debt for black men? More evidence this reparations committee is a joke.
@BetoORourke
Considering you campaigned for a dude just arrested for child porn and sexual exploitation I don’t think you qualify for having moral decency when it comes to dangers for kids.
Just as I suspected… the Travis County Property Appraisal just increased land values by 10% due to the HOME land code passing. The market is down 15% so they increased land values. The city and everyone involved are crooks and liars 🤬
My take on these protests: I believe these misguided young people really don’t know exactly what they are protesting and they just want to be apart of something and think protesting & causing a ruckus is cool. Screaming and throwing fits in public is not going to achieve anything
Atx drops from these best place to live 3 years in a row in 2019 to now

in 4 years. Who would have saw that electing progressives who defund the police, spending $100’s of millions on homeless and raising taxes would have a negative effect 🤦🏼
NEW: District Judge Dib Waldrip accepts a petition to remove
@JosePGarza
from office and appoints Bell County Attorney Jim Nichols as special prosecuting attorney to litigate Garza’s removal trial. The action is being brought under Texas’s ‘Rogue Prosecutor’ law.
Only in Austin TX under Soros DA Garza can you coordinate with your spouse and hire a hitman that killed your father in law and get only 120 days in jail. DA Garza is the number one threat to public safety in Austin and needs to be removed from office
I am taking a break from Twitter. My Mother is at the end of her days and is excruciating pain which the doctors can’t help or treat. It’s all a part of life I know but just seems very cruel sometimes. Be well.
So the bribery impeachment charge claiming Paxton received kitchen counters and cabinetry which was PROVEN false the Dems still voted to impeach. This impeachment was a scam built by the Dems in BS allegations and funded by the Bush family and Rinos went along with it.
Another Failed attempt by DA Garza to try to falsely prosecute a cop for doing his job. Grand Juries thankfully are not buying Garza's witch-hunts. Garza needs to go
Hey
@GinaForAustin
. Why are your property taxes hidden from public view? You own a multi million dollar home so why is your property taxes hidden? Also, your home was paid off right before your 2020 election… who paid off your home? I am sure there are logical explanations here?
@KennethCasaday
This is exactly what people are not comprehending regarding how defunding the police directly effects staffing and response times. Sadly citizens never think they will ever become victims or need police until it happens to them and they suffer themselves.
1st building with no parking failed. Who would have thought that people don’t want to live in a place with no parking? The Urbanists who pushed this and the city council who bought this BS have no idea what they are doing.
This is a travesty. Austin has no sunk to a new low not allowing self defense when an angry violent armed mob comes for you. I don’t know what to say other than law abiding citizens can no longer protect themselves in Austin. 😒
I don’t know who needs to hear this but I put my community’s well being above political party affiliation. I will be voting the Democrat primary for Jeremy Sylestine for DA to get rid of Jose Garza whom is the # 1 threat to Austin’s public safety. I hope you do the same.
One of the many arrests on UT Austin campus in reaction to the Palestine protest - to think we had arts and crafts and a pizza party planned before the totalitarian state showed up
Every weekend down on 6th Street you have these underage kids who go down there and cause trouble and fights. This puts a strain on public safety as they have to babysit these kids. It’s past time to install a curfew and clean it up.
Attention Austin voters: Now is your chance to vote out our Soros funded DA Jose Garza in the Democrat Primary. You can request a Democrat ballot even if you are a Republican voter. There is no Republican running for DA so if he wins the primary he is reflected. Vote Sylestine
So it turns out that the Google “workers” union lied to everyone yesterday at the city council meeting. These were not Google employees and were contract workers whose contract expired and were not fired.

It’s funny to see all the liberals here complaining about Trumps Bond reduction. The same liberals who don’t say a peep when actual criminals get let out on PR Bond and go commit more violent offenses 🤦🏼
We have junkies trashing our greenbelts, starting fires in vacant buildings and hacking people with machetes but city council wants to address vehicles parking in bike lanes. Never wonder why Austin is a mess as city leaders only listen to activists concerns.
#prorities
🤦🏼
Here is Greg Casar the guy who defunded police but demanded extra police protection telling you DA Garza is going to win reelection tomorrow. Please go out and vote for Jeremy Sylestine for DA and restore public safety in Austin and make Greg eat his words.

@JosePGarza
will win tomorrow’s primary election, proving that Travis County is moving forward with criminal justice reform and not slowing down.
Despite the big dark money spent against him, José and the progressive movement will prevail — again.
Eating my last meal at the Catfish Parlor in N Austin. They sold the land and are closing next Saturday. Going to miss this folksy place and their hush puppies. 😞
Just picked up an officers check at lunch and thanked him for his service. If you see any cops while you are out and about this weekend, thank them and let them know they are appreciated.
Not a single city leader has come out and condemned this riot. Just goes to show you how much they care about public safety in Austin. Continued disrespect for APD.
I support law enforcement who play a critical role in our society. Unfortunately there are some bad apples amongst this profession. MPD Jason Bagshaw is human garbage who should face consequences and scorn by society not promoted. Men w/badges whom beat unarmed women are cowards
This morning a woman most Americans have never heard of checked herself into prison to begin serving a sentence she should not have been given.
Her name is Victoria Charity White, and what happened to her on January 6th showed that terrible crimes were committed that day against
U.S. Senate candidate & Democrat lawmaker in South Carolina
@kmforsenate

I biked by this recently completed awesome traffic calming and bike facility improvement at Sendero Hills yesterday.
Props to the neighborhood for leading the effort to get this done!
So the person who killed APD officer Pastore and wounded another was already ion the FBI terror watch list and had visited that home prior to the killing. The FBI is worthless 🤬
BREAKING: An accused cop killer who also killed two other people during a hostage situation Saturday in Texas was on the FBI’s terror watch list. The suspect’s home had been visited by the FBI before he killed Austin SWAT officer Jorge Pastore.
Here is DA Garza giving a guy whom killed a 13 year old kid probation. If this does not demonstrate that this guy is bad for Austin I don’t know what will. Vote Jeremy Sylestin for DA and stop this madness.
JUST IN:

Hey Austin liberal/progressives, here is the DA
@JosePGarza
you elected letting a two time murderer back out on the streets. Maybe when it’s your friend/family member who is the next victim you might actually care.
Someone
@JosePGarza
owes us an explanation to the public as to why he released a murderer and known gang member back into society. Roy Garcia is a dangerous man who served time in prison for another murder, committed a second, and our DA let him out in September. Dismissed.
The DSA/progressives voters continue to show up and dominate Austin elections is why Garza was elected despite his record. At least his poor policies /record is highlighted by the media and brought to people’s attention. Continue to call Garza out on his actions with consequences
BREAKING: This is why our homeless officer resigned. Homeless shelter Northbridge is a drug den filled with drugs, violence, guns and prostitution. This is what 100’s of millions of tax $ fund. This was very predictable and is another failure.
Well well well… looks like our own cop hating Austin DA
@JosePGarza
wants police protection. Funny how this twerp wants safety for himself just not the rest of us peasants
EXCLUSIVE: Known as the most 'anti-cop DA in Austin history' Jose Garza wanted cops to guard him after he received threats. The district attorney went to county commissioners and the sheriff to get cop protection and was denied.
It’s that time of the year when you get your property tax bill and ask yourself… what exactly am I really getting for what I pay to live here in Austin? We are paying more every year and the community is getting worse and have yearly basic utility failures. Stop this insanity 🤦🏼
L.A. DA George Gascon is forced to defend his policy to ban prosecutors from pursuing gang enhancements.
He's confronted by a mother whose son was killed by a gang member & the DDA's who are running against him.

Larry Robinson, the naked homeless man that Entered a woman's home naked and assaulted her has a bit of a history.
Last year he was arrested for assault but the prosecutor did not prosecute.
He has also been convicted of assault and indecent exposure within the last few years.
Just another night down on 6th street in the ATX. This is where are resources that we don’t have enough of are going… babysitting punks. Local leaders just show up for a photo op once every couple of years and do nothing.
Here is Greg Casar lying again trying to get people to Vote for Jose Garza. Absolutely nothing he says here is true… but not surprising coming from this grifter whom is directly responsible for Austin’s deterioration

Have you made your plan to vote? 🗳️
• Early Vote: Now through Friday, Mar. 1st
• Election Day: Tuesday, Mar. 5th
We need to start posting the names of the activist judges who let criminals out on PR bonds who go on to commit violent offenses while out on bond. These activists judges should be publicly shamed and humiliated
An Austin father mourns the death of his daughter who was killed on New Year's Day in southeast Austin. Police said 19-year-old Naomi Davis was killed by a man who was released from jail on a "Personal Recognizance Bond" just over two weeks before she died
Austin CM Alter here wants you to believe they care about the environment yet give junkies free rein to destroy our greenbelts. He is proposing a Multi $100 million bond to increase taxes with no plan other than to give our tax $ away to more “non-profit” grifters. NO MORE BONDS
@ZoForAustin
Yet you still cannot bring yourself to condemn the terrorist attacks on Israel. You deserve every bit of criticism that comes your way but not because of your faith… it’s because you are an absolute clown and bad for Austin
Hearing a lot of talk about Beto really beat Abbott. By all means… please put Beto up for election again so TX can put him down as the biggest political loser in TX history 😂
Statesman staff are gearing up to strike in the coming weeks, as negotiations on wages and benefits have continued to stall since journalists voted to unionize in 2021.
The Travis County district attorney publicized a sharp increase in the conviction rate for violent, sexual and weapons-related offenses, but KXAN investigators found the formula used to calculate these statistics left some experts with questions.
Austin City Council again is not listening to speakers or constituents passing a resolution basically becoming a sanctuary city for child gender procedures. This is circumventing the TX law and picking losing fights with the State. Waste of time and resources congrats 👏
NEW: Austin becomes the first Texas city to approve protections for transgender people seeking gender-affirming care.
A resolution just passed 10-1, with only Council Member Mackenzie Kelly voting against it.

Elected TX Rep from Austin Gina here is more concerned about upsetting Mexico than she is about the safety and security of Texans. You just can’t make this up 🤦🏼
Imagine thinking we have too many car lanes in Austin. More examples of urbanists trying to make is absolutely miserable for motorists to get around town.
Austin has too many car lanes, as a South Austin resident this particularly stands out to me in South Austin although it's a problem everywhere. From Central to South Austin we essentially have 5 highways (2 actual highways + three stroads with 4+ lanes, marked in pink)
Comrade Greg Casar here reminding you he wants to take your money and redistribute it to immigrants. This carpet bagging liar claims to be an immigrant here when in fact he is a spoiled little rich kid from Houston.
Billionaires & politicians like Greg Abbott want to distract Texans from their efforts to hoard wealth, increase housing costs, & keep wages low.
They want us to blame immigrants — so they’ve chosen chaos & dysfunction.
We can & must make migration more orderly, safe, & humane.
This is the moment when TX National Guard became overrun by migrants rioting to get across the border here in El Paso today
We were there and saw it all happen. Absolute chaos here.
I would like to congratulate Austin city council for raising everyone’s taxes and furthering displacement all while ignoring the majority of their constituents wishes/concerns.
@ALTERforATX

@mkelly007
were the only council members who actually listened to the community.

You have consistently recommended the absolute worst political candidates who have accelerated the deterioration of Austin. Maybe just STFU and let people do their own research and pick candidates.
Kathie Tovo here reminding everyone that she defunded APD and does not support law enforcement or public safety. Anyone responsible for our current public safety situation does not deserve to lead Austin.
I’m astonished to read in a local blog that most of the City Council may endorse Kirk Watson. I served with several of these Council Members, and I know they don’t support the racial profiling of communities of color, so why would they endorse the person who invited DPS into this
Bands pull out of SXSW over U.S. Army sponsorship.

We are proud of the U.S. military in Texas.

It’s time to start fully supporting APD Kirk. Start with the 4 year contract. Be a real leader that praises and appreciate their sacrifices that protects our community. Stop listening to cop hating activists that are hell bent on turning our community into a lawless shithole.
I can't believe

cancelled his block walk just cause we were there 😩 We truly just want to educate the voters on his policies. Don't worry Garza, WTFrs will be back to help you out 😁 Just out here doing the Lord's work 🙏🏼
Unhinged anti-Israel activists vandalized my Georgetown office. Let me make 2 things clear, my support for Israel is unwavering & your intimidation won’t work. Secondly, the parties responsible will be found & will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
#StandWithIsrael
You really can’t make this up. City Council member Chito here telling you the DA’s job is not to convict criminals. City leaders put criminals above citizens. Vote Jeremy Sylestine for DA to take back our streets from criminals & incompetent city leaders.
Early voting starts today, get out and re-elect
@JosePGarza
for Travis County District Attorney! He truly embodies the duty of a Texas prosecutor, which is not to convict, but to see justice is done. I greatly appreciate his efforts and reforms. Vota para Jose Garza!!
The democrats efforts in election interference to keep Trump off the ballot were shot down by a unanimous decision by the Supreme Court. This was blatant and unconstitutional. Democrats are the real party of voter suppression despite what they claim.
The U.S. Supreme Court restored Republican frontrunner Donald Trump on the Colorado primary ballot. The unanimous ruling says the state lacked authority to disqualify him. via

This is the twenty something Austin urbanist dipshits that are the minority yet city council listens to them. They have no real life experience and want everyone else living on top of each other and taking public transit. Normal folks needs to start pushing back and speaking out
Expanding I-35 subsidizes sprawl. It is not helpful for growth in Austin proper
It will make quality of life in the urban core worse, strain city finances, and for years be a massive mess for anyone who lives here. And it won’t fix traffic.
We don’t need a bigger I-35 to grow

More needs to be done to rid public schools of pushing personal ideology. Parents should be the ones explaining and educating social issues and should not be taught by teachers with their personal beliefs. How bout teaching personal responsibility and accountability instead.
Austin needs to start being honest about affordability. The crying about wanting affordability is a just lie. You cannot achieve affordability while constantly raising taxes and voting for every Bond package that comes up. We are not serious about affordability.
@chitovela3
There is no housing crisis and rent going down has nothing to do with anything that the city council clowns have done. Urbanist dipshits want to live on/near lady bird lake or tarrytown but can’t afford it is no crisis. Demand is going down due to the deterioration of the city
This should be a turning point in Austin’s homeless camping nightmare. The community collectively should say enough is enough. We cannot continue to accept this as a society and in our community. Vote Yes on Prop B and put an end to this insanity.
Here is Austin city councilman Zo here claiming he is some sort of victim because he is a Muslim is liberal Austin. He still cannot bring himself to condemn the attacks on Israel. More examples of poor leadership in Austin.
Shocker… more funding needed to complete Candlewood homeless facility. Family Eldercare who is not in the construction business but was awarded the construction contract falls short. Austins procurement department incompetency continues to waste a ton of taxpayer dollars 🤦🏼
Two hotels purchased by the City of Austin several years ago have not yet opened for their intended purpose of housing people who have experienced chronic homelessness. Now they need more funding.
I have posed the question “ What is wrong with designated camping areas?”all day to people whom want to vote No on Prop B. Not a single person has given me an argument. I wonder why? 🤔
