    Moroccan man gets lost, parks his car, white Texan shoots him dead and walks free

    Dghoughi, an unarmed Moroccan citizen living in the U.S., was shot and killed by a Texas resident in an unprovoked attack on Oct. 11.

    According to
    Morocco World News,

    Dghoughi was shot by 65-year-old Terry Turner

    for sitting in a parked car near Turner’s residence


    in Martindale, Texas, a small town about 40 miles from Austin.

    the shooter being friends with local police,

    but also cites Texas’ “no duty retreat” law.

    “these laws are associated with an increase in homicides” and disproportionately impact people of color. Additionally, the report found that these laws

    “encourage impulsive and illegitimate uses of deadly force” in situations that could have otherwise been prevented.

    An excellent tactic towards purifying America by killing non-whites.

    A Texas school district bans boys from wearing long hair.

    Now, some students are suing.


    School officials in Texas forced a 9-year-old boy to serve an in-school suspension for a month,

    deprived him of recess and normal lunch breaks, and

    banished him from campus to an alternative school —

    all to pressure the fourth-grader into getting a haircut,

    seven students suing a Texas school district for what they call a discriminatory policy that requires boys to wear short hair.

    against the Magnolia Independent School District, which serves some 13,000 students about 40 miles northwest of Houston. deep in the heart of hole

    the district’s policy prohibiting boys from wearing long hair is based on gender stereotypes that violate the Cons ution.

    They say administrators apply it unevenly, allowing some boys to wear long hair that violates the district’s grooming standards while punishing others.

    “We have warned the district repeatedly that its gender-based hair policy violates the Cons ution,

    but the district continues to derail students’ lives and deny their right to a public education free from discrimination,”

    The rule requires that male students’ hair must be “no longer than the bottom of a dress shirt collar, bottom of the ear, and out of the eyes,” the district’s handbook states.

    defended the policy and said it was similar to policies in place for about half of Texas public school districts.

    “This system of differentiated dress and grooming standards have been affirmed by courts and does not inhibit equal access to educational opportunities under le IX.”

    the district had defended the approach by saying it “reflects the values of our community at large.”

    Sanctions have included days, or even weeks, of in-school suspension, according to the lawsuit.

    For some of the students, officials escalated the

    punishment by sending them to an alternative school “typically reserved for students who have violated state or federal law or committed serious violations of school policies,” it adds.

    The district did not provide them transportation to get there,

    Rep. Gohmert asks why Rep. John Lewis wasn’t treated the same as Jan. 6 insurrectionists

    it is no surprise that

    one of the most embarrassing humans to ever hold elected office, Louie Gohmert,

    equates the late civil rights leader and Georgia Rep. John Lewis’s peaceful, nonviolent sit-in protest on the House floor to demand action on gun safety legislation, with… the January 6, insurrection.

    Wait, what?

    I said:

    Louie Gohmert is comparing Rep. John Lewis’ historic ‘good trouble’ to the January 6 insurrection.

    According to
    Morocco World News,

    Dghoughi was shot by 65-year-old Terry Turner

    for sitting in a parked car near Turner’s residence




    "Turner reportedly told investigators that he had noticed a car in his driveway in the middle of the night, when he had awoken to use the bathroom,

    At that time, the headlights on Dghoughi's Audi were off.

    But as Turner fetched a handgun and headed outside,

    the lights came on and the car "began to rapidly accelerate in reverse,"

    Turner ran after the car, smacking its window.

    He then fired his gun at the driver.

    In a transcript of the 911 call Turner made to police, he told the dispatcher, "I just killed a guy," explaining that

    he "tried to pull a gun at me, I shot," "

    https://www.npr.org/2021/10/23/10486...murder-warrant

    LYING Turner MURDERED a man who was no threat, in retreat,
    AND HAD NO GUN

    What are the odds in hole, gun-fellatin, racist Texas

    that a bag old white man escapes punishment for killing a non-white foreigner?

    I'd say very goods odds.

    Turn your house lights on and the guy would have been gone, no harm to old white bag, now a murderer.

    This story is probably big news in Morocco, a US ally, and all over Europe

    Start the Steal, guaranteed in Texas

    Abbott’s pick for Texas secretary of state is FW lawyer who worked on Trump’s election challenge


    John Scott will lead the Secretary of State’s office as it takes on broad new powers from the divisive GOP elections law.

    “Abbott is appointing one of the architects of Republicans’ big lie that Donald Trump actually won the 2020 election to oversee all electoral activity in our state,”

    “Texans need a secretary of state that will fight for and protect that right — and not

    undermine it for political gain.”

    'That's not horse medicine!'

    GOP lawmaker fumes that pharmacies won't fill his ivermectin prescription




    Rep. Chip Roy

    (R-TX) on Tuesday fumed that few pharmacies are apparently willing to fill his prescription for ivermectin, which has been touted as an unproven treatment for COVID-19.

    speaking on the House floor, Roy raged that he wasn't able to get the ivermectin he wanted even though

    it had been purportedly prescribed by his doctor.

    TEXAS IS WATERING DOWN FEDERAL INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDS


    The state needs to invest more than $60 billion in water infrastructure over the next 50 years—instead,

    the Legislature spent federal money on cops, jailers and cybersecurity.

    Chip Roy refuses to support renaming of building named after Klansman




    Cohen wanted to remove the name of the late Clifford Davis, a onetime Klansman and lifelong segregationist,

    so the building would be solely named after Odell Horton, the first African American federal judge to serve in the Western District of Tennessee since Reconstruction.

    Chip Roy was one of the three contrarians.

    The Texas Republican, whose district includes part of San Antonio, voted “Present.”

    this is the same guy who, in 2019, temporarily blocked the passage of a $19.1 billion disaster relief bill (including $4 billion to Texans ravaged by Hurricane Harvey)

    because he objected to the idea of the House passing it by unanimous consent, without a roll call vote.

    His biggest crusade this year has been to rail against women registering for the Selective Service, \

    Snowflake U: Conservatives spark avalanche of mockery with

    announcement of a scam university


    Bari Weiss, the notorious Islamophobe who

    started her career in grievance preaching by
    trying to get Palestinian professors fired from their jobs at Colombia University and

    infamously quit her cushy editorial job at the New York Times in a public tantrum because
    her colleagues thought she was stupid and her ideas sucked,

    announced on Monday morning that she and a group of other right-wing losers were

    opening a new university, where a racist can be a racist!

    this obsession with the “truth” makes it clear that this is not going to be a “university” so much as

    it is a “propaganda multi-level marketing scheme” in the vein of famous fake universities like Trump University and the University of Phoenix.

    they don’t actually offer any degrees, aren’t accredited, and have a lawyer’s office as their listed address.

    the entire American right-wing movement from top to bottom

    exists solely to funnel money out of the pockets of angry rubes into the bank accounts of devious rubes

    while entrenching the dominance of white supremacists ideology in the minds of its followers.

    In Texas And Beyond, Right Wing Brings Culture Wars To Classrooms

    Conservatives in Texas and several other states have declared war on the teaching of books aimed at sensitizing students to racism and gender iden y issues, saying they wrongly inflict feelings of guilt on white and non-LGBTQ students.

    In one direct result of the campaign, a school district west of Houston last month temporarily withdrew copies of a book that explains the unintentional "micro-aggressions" an African-American child suffers because of the color of his or her skin.

    Matt Krause has asked every school district in the state to send him a list cataloging how many of each of the books they possess, where they are located and how much they spent for them.

    Divisive debates over the acceptability of books and of certain teachings have sprung up in some 15 states, primarily in the South,

    sparking unusually angry confrontations in local school board meetings.


    They "will pop up everywhere in the future, especially in urban areas where there is a conservative push at the state level but where local politics tend to be more Democratic,"

    The Texas Library Association has pushed back against what it called "a substantial increase in censorship activity in Texas."

    the Texas State Teachers Association has denounced what it called a "witch hunt," following passage by the state legislature of a law that sets specific guidelines for the teaching of racial and sexual inequalities.

    "Book banning serves as a media distraction from the real harm politicians like Matt Krause perpetuate."

    Krause "a prolific author of anti-LGBTQ legislation."

    https://www.nationalmemo.com/in-texas-and-beyond-conservatives-take-culture-wars-to-classrooms


    Krause intends to hurt another minority for his political advantage.
