Rodney Glenn Ellis Part 2– He just voted YES to RAISE property taxes 7.6% — the biggest combined county hike in recent history — WITHOUT sending it to the voters.

He preaches “Black Excellence” and equity. Meanwhile:

Stored 1,400+ pieces of PRIVATE African art in a COUNTY maintenance shed. Taxpayers paid $326K to renovate it + $26K to move and fumigate it. Ownership paperwork never existed. Grand jury no-billed him. Then Harris County taxpayers reimbursed another $427K of HIS legal bills.

Taxpayers covered 25% of his campaign Cadillac Escalade through his county car allowance.

While he was a state senator his own firms underwrote BILLIONS in bonds for the same governments he voted on.

His wife’s real estate firm is tied to nonprofits that received tens of millions in county homeless and housing contracts.

As a brand-new commissioner he filed legal papers AGAINST Harris County’s own bail system… then became the architect of the cashless bail deal.

Secretly wore a live microphone on the Senate floor in 1995 for a PBS documentary without telling his colleagues. Caught on tape talking about their IQs.

Arranged a SECRET BALLOT with no recorded vote when he was Senate President Pro Tem.
Refused to produce his government phone records. A criminal complaint was filed.

Takes free World Cup and rodeo suite seats in the taxpayer-owned stadium.

AND he pushed to hire his former policy director — the daughter of his late friend — as County Administrator at $411,000 after 400 people applied.

It’s your obligation to like and share so the world learns the name RODNEY GLENN ELLIS (72yo)

🚨BREAKING/TEXAS FLOCK SCANDAL: Moments ago I confirmed that the TEXAS GOVERNMENT has already spent OVER $11 MILLION on 1,236 FLOCK CAMERAS!!

Even worse... in the email I'm posting below, Texas @TxDPS confirms they are in fact using "MVCPA funds." But the Texas Legislature NEVER explicitly authorized MVCPA funds to be used for Flock/ALPRs!

Last week LOCAL governments in Texas were stopped from using state funds for Flock/ALPRs... good!... but... apparently the STATE government has been (and may still be using) state funds for Flock cameras!!

I've been filing bills to fight FLOCK/ALPRs in Texas for years. But "Republican" Speakers Phelan and Burrows keep stopping them and allowing Texans to be taxed out of their homes to fund their own warrantless surveillance!

This must stop! Texas must not become a police state!!!

HVAC saves lives. I do a lot of my family's equipment maintenance.

Simple washes every 2-3 months and air filter changes every 3 months.

Don't forget the most important part of your home that keeps you cool on hot days.

BREAKING NEWS: Dallas Cowboys practice was delayed two hours today after a player found an unknown white powdery substance on the field. Jerry Jones immediately suspended practice and called the police. After analysis, experts confirmed it was the goal line. Practice resumed once officials decided the Cowboys were unlikely to see it again this season.

[NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯_夏樹蒼依 @japan_nobunaga]

My father cried.
I had never seen it. Not once in my life.

70 years old. Post-war generation. He hated America with everything he had.

60 years. Not one kind word. Not one.

Then March 2011 came.
He sat in front of the TV. Every day. Silent. Fists on his knees.

Your Marines digging black mud with their bare hands for Japanese strangers.

Your 19-year-old sailors sleeping on cold steel floors so our grandmothers could have beds.

Your carrier sailing INTO the radiation while the whole world ran out.

He watched all of it. And said nothing.

Then one night I passed his room and I froze.

Behind that door, my father, the strongest and most stubborn man I ever knew, was sobbing like a child.

I couldn't move. I just stood there in the dark hallway, listening, crying with him.

Then he said it. One sentence. It tore 60 years apart:

"I was wrong about them."

Do you understand what that took?

A lifetime of hatred. Gone.
Destroyed by soldiers carrying soup to strangers.

America, you didn't just save our towns.

You reached inside my father's chest and healed a wound he swore would never close.

He passed away believing in you.

Happy 250th. 🇺🇸🇯🇵
An old man who hated you died loving you. My father.

[Josip @l3d1c]

Some people don't seem to understand why everyone is so outraged about the 🇭🇷 Croatia vs. Portugal 🇵🇹 robbery, so let me explain.

It's precisely because multiple things that would have lifted the offside were ignored, multiple things were handled differently than usual, and several suspicious details are present on top of it all.

So it's both the factually false detection of a touch that wasn't there, AND the way it was handled, which raises even more suspicion:

1. Even if Matanović's head 🤯 touched the ball, it didn't change the trajectory -> no offside

2. Even if Matanović's hair 💇‍♂️ touched the ball, hair is excluded in the offside rulebook -> no offside

3. Even if he did touch it with force, Veiga still went for the ball deliberately -> no offside

4. Offside is normally never checked at the screen by the main ref. Normally the VAR sees Veiga's header on the first replay, says "ah, Portugal touched it, no offside," and that's the end of it.

5. No change of trajectory is visible on the ball. Instead of blindly trusting a questionable chip inside the ball, the ref could have trusted his own eyes -> goal stands

6. Letting a minuscule alleged touch that didn't affect the ball overturn one of the craziest goals in World Cup history is suspicious in and of itself. It hints at an agenda or bias by the refs and VAR.

7. The penalty given to Portugal was already a false decision.

8. FIFA using B-tier referees raises the suspicion that they're chosen deliberately: a ref without a big name is more likely to enforce the rules to the letter, out of fear that FIFA won't invite him (and pay him) at the next tournament. A big refereeing name would at least have the courage to decide by feel for the game.

9. Previous games where Ronaldo was already helped by the refereeing.

10. The observation that rules are applied far more strictly against small nations than against the big names.

11. Semi-automated offside tech was sold to us as eliminating human error. Instead, a sensor blip that nobody can see with their own eyes was used to overrule what everybody COULD see. If the technology can't be verified by the footage, the footage should win.

12.FIFA is visibly willing to trade away trust and raw emotion (nobody can celebrate a goal anymore before the check period is over, fans get fed up and stop watching because of this BS) in exchange for control over outcomes, because keeping the biggest names in the tournament as long as possible is what makes their commercial goals easily reachable.

[Star Spangled Ballers @SpangledBallers]

None of these were cards and all equally as bad or worse than Balogun's incidental contact.

Stop being stupid.

[Nico Cantor @Nicocantor1]

I’m not here to discuss whether or not the right call was made. With the tools at the disposal of FIFA referees, they made the correct call.

I’m here to discuss whether or not THIS is upholding the spirit of football.

To the naked eye it’s impossible to tell with absolute certainty whether Matanović (20) touches the ball therefore creating a second action which would deem Pašalić (15) in an offside position. There were countless replays shown and not a single one could determine with unequivocal evidence that Matanović was in contact with the ball.

Then came the “heart beat graph”. The y-axis showing force onto the ball measured by a chip inside the ball. It shows a touch. Where? Hair? Head? Not sure. But if the chip is calibrated correctly, contact exists. As a collective we are forced to blindly trust the technology.

Is this football spirit? Having to agree on something not a single person on Earth could see?

VAR and technology feels like the antithesis to the nature of football. Like a foreign pathogen corrupting the rhythms and flows of a game that is extraordinary.

Football is great because it is imperfect. It pits emotion, determination and skill of 22 players against each other. It forces three referees to make brave judgment calls when margins are razor thin. Of course, human error has produced extreme controversy. Enter VAR.

VAR was introduced to correct the “clear and obvious”. But it has invaded the game and taken control. It’s now rewriting the “microscopic and imperceptible”.

That is not football. Because in the football pre VAR the Croatia goal yesterday would’ve stood. The assistant referee never raised his flag. And we’d be endlessly replaying this goal to search for the Matanović touch we could never truly find.

In our reality, though, Portugal is through. Croatia’s goal was offside.

And in our reality, VAR is holding football hostage. And if we settle for that, the technology will kill football. From experts to former footballers, people that lived and breathed for this sport don’t like it. They see that even with technology, justice fails when VAR was pitched as infallible.

Reform shouldn’t be a thought. It should be a non-negotiable demand from everyone. From former players to current ones. Presidents of federations to managers. As the tide of our world is on the edge of shifting towards a future primarily dictated by artificial intelligence and evolving tech that we might not even comprehend, the time is now.

It’s our only hope.

[Selene Mariposa @Selene_Mariposa]

The World Cup has turned America into a discovery channel for the rest of the world.

And they are not handling it well.
In the best possible way.

Here is what they are discovering:

Free public restrooms. Europeans pay every time.
Free water at every restaurant. Just appears.
Free refills. Coffee. Sodas. Iced tea. Unlimited.
Free chips and salsa before you even order.
Free warm bread with dinner.
Ice in drinks like civilized people.
Air conditioning everywhere. Not a moral debate. A fact.
Parking lots attached to the actual place you are going.
Drive throughs where the food comes to the car while you sit in it.
Ranch dressing by the gallon.
Tex-Mex that cannot be explained only experienced.
Dental care that actually works.
Buccee’s. There are no words for Buccee’s.

Then they found the grocery stores.

Five of them within one mile.
Each one the size of an aircraft hangar.
Burgers. Steaks. Brisket. Ribs. Pulled pork. Lamb. Veal. Every cut of every animal ever domesticated by human civilization available in one refrigerated aisle at ten in the morning on a Tuesday.

The Germans stood in the meat section for forty five minutes.
In silence.
Processing.

They finally understand why we do not have trains.

We have roads wide enough for the cars we actually drive.
Parking lots the size of small European countries.
Airports in every city worth visiting.

Why would we need trains.

The Germans are taking ranch home by the bottle.
The Dutch found queso and briefly lost the ability to speak.
The Japanese are photographing HEB like it is the Louvre.
The Czechs are weeping in West, Texas.

Welcome to America.
Everything is free, enormous, air conditioned, comes with chips, and has five grocery stores within a mile that will sell you any cut of any animal you have ever imagined.

Write that down. 🦋
