A Frisco ISD official said Saturday night they were seeking charges against a man who said he “broke into” a high school stadium to capture video related to the fatal stabbing at a track meet earlier this month. In other news, communities to the west of the Dallas-Fort Worth area worked to clean up Sunday after several tornadoes touched down late Saturday night. Thousands across the region were without power; two people are dead in what detectives believe may have been a shootout that stemmed from an argument between the pair. On Sunday, officers responded to a shooting call in the 5500 block of James Avenue; and the city of Dallas is launching a pilot program funded by federal money to clean up neighborhoods, but some council members are concerned it could inadvertently encourage gentrification.

Episode Highlights: Changing his View of Administration The Most Impactful Experiences to Prepare for the Next Step The Largest Surprises as a New Assistant Principal About LeBronte Hoover: My name is LeBronte Hoover and I'm very excited to be a guest on the ASPIRE to Lead Podcast. My career in education began 12 years ago (2011) in my hometown of Natchitoches, La as a substitute teacher and coach. After completing alternate certification, I moved on to full time teacher and coach at the highschool level. My family and I relocated to Frisco, Tx in 2018 where I continued to teach and coach at the middle school level. I began my journey into Administration in 2020 when I decided to go back to school to pursue a Master's in Educational Leadership and take some additional roles on my campus to enhance my knowledge of how a school functions. Once I completed the certification requirements to be an Administrator in 2022, I received my first opportunity to serve as Assistant Principal in Richardson ISD at a junior high school.

After attending a school board meeting and feeling frustrated with the School Board President's disrespectful behavior towards the parents, Stephanie opted to use her speaking time to call him out. Her polite rant went viral and it ultimately led to her running for and winning a spot as School Board Trustee during the 2022 municipal election. Stephanie brings a diverse perspective to Frisco ISD and has unfortunately dealt with several personal attacks and attempts at canceling her voice since she's been a Trustee.

Seattle pushes its poison on Idaho, Texas, Pennsylvania, Minnesota and more states. Episode 280 - Hour 2 Democrats Spread The Seattle Disease

THE THESIS: The thug who uses his title of AG of Washington, the separate Country owned by Seattle, has sued Idaho to force our State to follow his desire to see babies killed at all costs. Yes, Seattle's chief thug intends to force you to follow his diktats. It's not just by force, but through the very institutions the professional Republicans worship that city-states like Seattle, Los Angeles and New York push their evil ideology. A Texas school district promotes literal pornpgraphy. A full-blown man-child may become a US Senator from Pennsylvania: he proposes legalized heroin, he wants children taught to have as much sex as possible and he's running against a fake conservative who isn't much better. This is the undeniable grooming of a generation to become angry, drug-addicted, racist, ignorant little sexbots. We must embrace the godly way back from the edge. THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES:  Exodus 20: 1-17 20 And God spoke all these words: 2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 3 “You shall have no other gods before[a] me. 4 “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments. 7 “You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name. 8 “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. 12 “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you. 13 “You shall not murder. 14 “You shall not commit adultery. 15 “You shall not steal. 16 “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor. 17 “You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.” THE NEWS & COMMENT: Bill Kristol is a man defined by the institutions of Washington, D.C. From them he drew his self-perceived importance and influence. They have been to him the teet of money, influence and meaning. Just like an abused child cannot see his parents for what they are, Bill Kristol cannot see Washington, D.C. for the den of vipers it has become. Again, like an abused child, Bill Kristol is trading one broken parent--his formerly beloved Republican Party (whatever that means) for another abusive parent, this one worse than the other.   The Mockingbird Media's nominee for the Republican Party's candidate for president was also raised by The Party. All that Liz Cheney sees herself to be comes from The Party. Like Bill Kristol, she cannot perceive what people in the real world live through: a malignant and vicious ruling class with its boot on the kneck of the people. [AUDIO] - “We have no chance at winning elections if we are in a position where our party has abandoned principle and abandoned value and abandoned fundamental fidelity of the Constitution in order to embrace a cult of personality,” Liz Cheney tells ABC “News.”  Like Bill Kristol, Liz is utterly blind to the evils of her dear, DEAR friends in the Democrat Party: There is perhaps not better example of the arrogant evil of The Party than this man. Bob Ferguson, the so-called Attorney General of the separate Country of Washington, which is controlled outright by the city-state of Seattle. He openly allows drug and sex trafficking cartels to operate in the open, but sues barbers and deli owners out of business for refusing to be bankrupted by Covid diktats. He has overseen the most rapes, murders, property crimes and assaults in recent history, but sues florists out of business for refusing to violate the Word of God. He attempted--and failed--to get me and my friend and colleague, Dori Monson fired but gleefully allowed Antifa and Black Lives Matter, Inc. to seize 6 blocks of Seattle for a Month, where they got two people murdered, one a child. So, what is this thug up to, now? He is suing Idaho.  The Criminal Thug who calls himself Attorney General of the separate Country of Washington is suing Idaho over our abortion law. In the Seattle-area: 3 days. 3 shootings. 3 deaths.  8/19 - Everett home invasion. Wife/mother dead. GSW.  8/20 - Granite Falls. 27 year old male GSW.  8/21 - male. Deceased. GSW.  And our AG is busy with juvenile tweets at Tim Eyman and suing Idaho In Seattle, proper: SPD trying to identify suspect after brutal elevator assault The Seattle disease of storing dangerously mentally ill people on the streets, while producing more of them every day with drug-induced manias and psychosis has spread to other city-state  Here, two “progressives” argue about crime: This is a man who was arrested 41 times. After this incident he was released & went on to send a subway worker to the hospital with a broken collarbone. But according to this crime reporter, the man committing assaults/breaking bones is the real victim. Anna was talking about this post: "Progressive" outraged that homeless man got off too easy with $5,000 bail. The CDC, the WHO, the rest of public “health” establishment--one of the institutions worshiped by Bill Kristol and Liz Cheney--has pushed the perverse, pornographic, ungodly sexualization of children at impossibly young ages. They have used the sacred institutions to do this, bypassing the will of parents and voters.  Rep. Jared Patterson - LANGUAGE WARNING!  In a now-deleted tweet, @FISD_Libraries  promotes a sexually explicit book I profiled this spring and formally challenged earlier this week. This book should never make it into a child's hands and those promoting it should be prosecuted. We must remove the obscenity exemption. - Frisco, Plano, McKinney, and Little Elm as part of Frisco ISD in Frisco, TEXAS!!  Just like with Covid, they claimed this was all to make us safer. Just like Covid, that was a lie. Pro-LGB”T” Left Said Kids Needed Sex Ed For ‘Health' And ‘Safety,' But They Aren't Any Healthier Or Safer The Seattle disease has infected Pennsylvania politics with two of the worst candidates for Senate in history. The Democrat somehow manages to be worse than Mehmet Oz . . .  The Democratic Grooming Scandal No One's Talking About; John Fetterman linked to creepy anime demon best known for enslaving a child [AUDIO] - Fetterman ALSO wants to “legalize heroin” and fund “safe injection sites” (read: taxpayer-funded drug dens) Which brings us to this brilliant work by a guy I am starting to love. Neil Oliver, a British commentator who--as the hippies used to say--knows what time it is . . .  [AUDIO] - Neil Oliver: 'We are no longer being treated as individuals entitled to try and make the most of our lives – but as a barn full of battery hens, just another product to be bought and sold – sold down the river.'See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
