A Tree and Its Fruit: “For no good tree bears bad fruit"





“For no good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit, for each tree is known by its own fruit".

"For figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush".

"The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks".

Certainly there is enough iniquity

# absence of moral or spiritual values; "the powers of darkness"
# evil: morally objectionable behavior
# injustice: an unjust act

that has occurred to the little people of Del Mar College.

Is it Karma or just GOD spanking the DMC untouchables?

For if, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.

The Secretary of State cleared her to run.

I think these guys are going to learn a lesson or two....

from the attorney general down. The Secretary of State cleared Ms Garcia to run. If you read the AG opinion you will know what a crook this guy is when it comes to the little people. Carlos Valdez, I cant see how he would obtain Jurisdiction given there is no criminal act. This matter should be processed through existing administrative law.




A Voter Registration in Kleberg While Residing in Nueces?

The question is, which home was her domicile. I have been to her Apartment here in Corpus Christi, it sure looks like it is her primary residence.

I cannot imagine Carlos Valdez even having anything to do with this case, given his history with Mike Westergren and I am told with Joe Alaniz as well.

If Carlos Valdez prosecutes this lady, he is a fool.

I stand behind her.
