Corpus Christi Traffic Stop: Brothers Accused of Smirking

In a significant decision, the Fifth Circuit Court partially reversed a lower court’s ruling in Degenhardt v. Bintliff, involving two brothers, Marc and Augustus Degenhardt, who were pulled over by Corpus Christi police in 2022. The court found that the traffic stop lacked reasonable suspicion, violating their Fourth Amendment rights. The incident escalated when officers accused the brothers of…

June 10th, 1971. Student Massacre in Mexico: "Jueves de Corpus" or "El Halconazo."

On that Thursday in June, Corpus Christi Day, about 10,000 young students were protesting in different parts of Mexico City, especially on the university campus of the National Polytechnic Institute (IPN). The march was a show of solidarity with the university movement in Monterrey, which demanded changes in the university law. But it was also a demand for greater political freedom and democratization. Translated with DeepL.com (free version). Img Src: Archivo Paco Ignacio Taibo II / La Jornada

On June 10, 1971, students from different parts of the country mobilized in the Federal District (now CDMX) in solidarity with the students of the Autonomous University of Nuevo Leon (UANL) who at that time had demands against the government and the dean's office:

Education budget equivalent to 12% of the gross domestic product and that the budget for universities be placed under student and teacher control.

Disbanding of all the governing boards of the country's universities.

Partial representation of teachers and students in the technical councils of UNAM.

Repeal of the IPN's general regulations.

Dissolution of the UNAM's porros (groups that assault students in order to stop them from completing their studies).

Freedom for political prisoners.

The then president of the republic Luis Echeverría Álvarez ordered the repression of this mobilization with a paramilitary group called “Los Halcones” (The Falcons) who months before had been trained and armed by the Mexican army. That day many young people were killed (around 120, although only 34 were taken into account) who were seeking a change in society, a democratization of education in the country.

Background

The strike at the UANL had been provoked by the imposition of a new organic law that eliminated university autonomy and significantly reduced the budget. This measure was rejected by both students and professors, who in 1971 succeeded in electing Héctor Ulises Leal Flores as dean under a proposal of the government.

In response, the federal government intensified repression, which led UANL students to ask for support from other universities in the country. The UNAM and the IPN responded to this call by organizing a massive march to the capital's Zócalo (historic center).

The background to this repression was the massacre of October 2, 1968 during a student and popular mobilization where the army and police groups dressed in civilian clothes were used and under the order of President Día Ordaz murdered hundreds of young people and imprisoned in military camps those they considered “leaders” to be tortured.

What happened next?

The Corpus Thursday massacre and the October 2nd massacre were the turning point for hundreds of thousands of young people and the people in general to assume that a democratic change was closed and they decided to take up arms as the only way for a democratic and radical transformation in Mexico.

More than half a century after the massacre, justice has still not been served for the victims. In 2009, former President Luis Echeverría Álvarez, under whose administration the Halconazo occurred, was exonerated for lack of evidence. To date, the exact number of dead, wounded and missing remains uncertain. The official figure indicated 120 dead and hundreds injured, including students, civilians and both national and international journalists.

SUCKED INTO THE ABYSS

On December 9, 1873, in Bristol, England, Thomas Cumpston and his wife, a respectable elderly couple, raced through the streets in their pajamas, panic stricken and shooting a pistol. Running into the railway station, Mr. Cumpston exclaimed, "My wife and I have escaped from a den of thieves and rogues." Thought to be insane, they were arrested. The following day, in court, Mr. Cumpston was still so excited that he appeared delusional. The couple had checked into the Victoria Hotel the evening before and had been awoken in the night by alarming noises in the building. The landlady heard the indescribable sounds, but ignored them, reassured the couple, and sent them off to bed.

At 3 a.m. the sounds returned, along with the scary sensation that the ground was giving way. Mr. Cumpston leaped from bed and then discovered, to his horror, that the floor was opening beneath him and an unknown force was dragging him into the black void. Mrs. Cumpston, shocked to see her spouse disappearing into the hole, dragged him out. Invisible voices echoed their outcries. The terrified Cumpstons then jumped out the window and ran away, looking for help. The police investigated the hotel room, but could find nothing unusual. The official verdict was "collective hallucination," and the distressed couple were given into the care of friends.

In December 1926, four students entered a supposedly haunted college dorm room in Corpus Christi, Texas. A tangible, sometimes vaguely visible presence was said to reside there. Upon entering the area, one of the students was grasped by a force "like some powerful magnet" and was pulled away from his friends. They clutched onto the man and fought furiously to hold him. Other students arrived outside the room, curious about the commotion, but the door would not open. They finally ripped out the oak paneling to gain entrance, and the captured man was released.

Jason Elijah Talley, 43, and Crystal Nichole Samora, 33, pleaded guilty on Monday to conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute over 50 grams of meth, says U.S. Attorney Alamdar S. Hamdani.

On March 14, Talley and Samora were in a Lexus in Victoria when officials conducted a traffic stop after seeing they were following too closely.

According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, Talley was detained and told to sit in the grass. Authorities then found a bag they suspected of containing meth in the area where Talley was sitting.

The couple's car was physically searched and officials seized Xanax bars, heroin, a myriad of pills, meth and multiple handguns. Authorities also found a cardboard box behind the passenger seat with cookies in one layer and five large plastic containers with a substance. There were two more plastic baths containing a substance and a Sig Sauer firearm in a purse, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.

Officials discovered the gun was stolen out of Corpus Christi and the substance they found was 5,806 grams of meth with a purity level of 94 percent.

Talley and Samora will be sentenced in November by U.S. District Judge David S. Morales, according to U.S. Attorney's Office.

They face up to life in federal prison and a possible $10 million maximum fine. Talley and Samora will remain in custody pending sentencing.

The Drug Enforcement Administration conducted the investigation with the assistance of the Victoria Police Department.

So for context there’s been a serial killer the past few years in downtown Austin- 12 bodies have been found so far under mysterious circumstances in Lady Bird Lake (named after Lyndon B Johnson’s wife) after disappearing from/last being seen on Rainey Street.

Predominantly, the victims have mostly been white middle aged men not familiar with the area. Police have been blowing them all off as accidental drownings since there’s a park near Rainey street with bad lighting that’s easy to fall into the lake from + men are not as cautious as women especially when it comes to drinking- however the death rate is disproportionate from any other large bodies of water in the country.

There’s a lot more details and it’s super strange stuff. There used to be another (or same?) back in the 90s-2000s, but he stopped suddenly. Coincidentally, at the time Chicago saw an uptick? Likely not related.

There’s also been a serial killer in Corpus Christi also targeting white middle aged men. So far they’re all really into fishing and we’re looking for hookups on Reddit. Their bodies have been consistently found in things like water towers, water treatment plant, and I think a ditch?

Worth researching. Very scary stuff and it’s insane how the authorities have been shrugging it all off.

Understanding Accident Lawyers in Corpus Christi

Accidents, whether they involve cars, trucks, motorcycles, or any other vehicles, can be life-changing events. The aftermath often includes physical injuries, emotional trauma, and significant financial burdens. In Corpus Christi, Texas, accident lawyers play a crucial role in helping victims navigate the complexities of personal injury law to secure compensation and justice. This article delves into the services offered by accident lawyers in Corpus Christi, the process of filing a claim, and the importance of legal representation in such cases.

The Role of Accident Lawyers

Accident lawyers specialize in personal injury cases resulting from various types of accidents. Their primary goal is to ensure that victims receive fair compensation for their injuries and losses. This includes covering medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related costs. Here’s a breakdown of the key responsibilities of accident lawyers in Corpus Christi:

Legal Consultation and Case Evaluation: Accident lawyers Corpus Christi provide an initial consultation to evaluate the details of the accident and determine the viability of a claim. This includes assessing the extent of injuries, gathering evidence, and identifying potential defendants.

Investigation and Evidence Gathering: A thorough investigation is crucial for building a strong case. Lawyers collect police reports, medical records, witness statements, and any other relevant evidence to support the claim.

Negotiation with Insurance Companies: Dealing with insurance companies can be challenging, as they often aim to minimize payouts. Accident lawyers negotiate with insurers on behalf of the victim to ensure a fair settlement.

Litigation: If a fair settlement cannot be reached, accident lawyers are prepared to take the case to court. They represent the victim throughout the litigation process, presenting evidence and making compelling arguments to secure a favorable verdict.

Legal Advice and Support: Throughout the process, accident lawyers provide ongoing legal advice and support to their clients, ensuring they understand their rights and options.

Types of Accident Cases Handled

Accident lawyers in Corpus Christi handle a wide range of cases, each requiring a unique approach. Some of the most common types of cases include:

Car Accidents: These are the most common personal injury cases. Lawyers handle collisions caused by negligence, distracted driving, DUI, and other factors.

Truck Accidents: Truck accidents often result in severe injuries due to the size and weight of commercial vehicles. Lawyers address issues such as driver fatigue, improper maintenance, and violation of safety regulations.

Motorcycle Accidents: These accidents can lead to serious injuries or fatalities. Lawyers advocate for motorcyclists who are often unfairly blamed for accidents.

Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents: When pedestrians or cyclists are hit by vehicles, the injuries can be catastrophic. Lawyers work to hold negligent drivers accountable.

Workplace Accidents: In cases where accidents occur on the job, lawyers help victims navigate workers' compensation claims and, if necessary, pursue third-party liability claims.

Premises Liability: Accidents occurring on someone else's property due to unsafe conditions fall under this category. Lawyers prove negligence on the part of property owners.

The Legal Process for Accident Claims

Filing an accident claim in Corpus Christi involves several steps. Here’s an overview of the typical process:

Initial Consultation: The victim meets with an accident lawyer to discuss the case. The lawyer evaluates the situation and advises on the best course of action.

Investigation: The lawyer conducts a detailed investigation, gathering all necessary evidence to build a strong case.

Filing a Claim: The lawyer files a personal injury claim with the at-fault party’s insurance company or directly in court.

Negotiation: The lawyer negotiates with the insurance company to reach a settlement. Most cases are settled out of court, but if negotiations fail, the case proceeds to litigation.

Litigation: During litigation, both sides present their evidence and arguments. The lawyer advocates for the victim, aiming to prove liability and secure maximum compensation.

Resolution: The case is resolved either through a settlement or a court verdict. The lawyer ensures that the victim receives the awarded compensation.

The Importance of Legal Representation

Having legal representation is crucial for several reasons:

Expertise and Experience: Accident lawyers have specialized knowledge and experience in handling personal injury cases. They understand the legal system, know how to gather and present evidence, and are skilled negotiators.

Maximizing Compensation: Lawyers fight to ensure that victims receive the full compensation they deserve. They take into account all current and future expenses related to the accident.

Reducing Stress: Dealing with an accident’s aftermath can be overwhelming. Lawyers handle all legal aspects, allowing victims to focus on their recovery.

Navigating Legal Complexities: Personal injury law can be complex, with various statutes and regulations. Lawyers guide victims through the process, ensuring compliance with all legal requirements.

Contingency Fee Basis: Most accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win the case. This makes legal representation accessible to everyone, regardless of financial situation.

Choosing the Right Accident Lawyer in Corpus Christi

Selecting the right lawyer is crucial for the success of a case. Here are some tips for choosing an accident lawyer in Corpus Christi:

Experience and Specialization: Look for a lawyer with extensive experience in personal injury law and a track record of successful cases.

Reputation: Check reviews and testimonials from previous clients. A good reputation is often indicative of a lawyer’s competence and reliability.

Communication Skills: Choose a lawyer who communicates clearly and regularly updates you on the case’s progress.

Resources: Ensure the lawyer has the necessary resources to handle your case, including access to expert witnesses and investigators.

Free Consultation: Many lawyers offer a free initial consultation. Use this opportunity to ask questions and assess whether the lawyer is a good fit for your case.

Conclusion

Accidents can have devastating effects on victims and their families. In Corpus Christi, accident lawyers play a vital role in helping victims recover from their injuries and secure the compensation they deserve. By understanding the legal process and the importance of skilled legal representation, victims can make informed decisions and navigate the complexities of personal injury claims with confidence. If you or a loved one has been involved in an accident, seeking the assistance of a qualified accident lawyer in Corpus Christi is a crucial step towards achieving justice and rebuilding your life.

Breaking the law by computer is still breaking the law

The Justice Department joined by the Federal Trade Commission (collectively the “Agencies”), filed a statement of interest with the District of New Jersey in the case of Cornish-Adebiyi v. Caesars Entertainment, which explains that hotels cannot collude on room pricing and cannot use an algorithm to engage in practices that would be illegal if done by a real person. Companies across the economy are increasingly using algorithms to determine their prices. When a small group of algorithm providers can influence a major segment of a market, competitors are better able to use the algorithm provider to facilitate collusion. This risk is even greater as markets have become more concentrated across a wide range of industries. Algorithms that recommend prices to numerous competing hotels make it harder for travelers to comparison-shop for the best rate. In their statement, the Agencies highlight two key aspects of competition law. First, plaintiffs do not need to identify direct communications between competitors to allege an agreement under Section 1 of the Sherman Act, particularly when they allege that an algorithm provider that works with the competitors is acting in concert with them. Competitors cannot lawfully cooperate to set their prices, whether via their staff or an algorithm, even if the competitors never communicate with each other directly. Second, an agreement to use shared pricing recommendations, list prices or pricing algorithms is still unlawful even when co-conspirators retain some pricing discretion. Setting or recommending initial starting prices can still violate the antitrust laws even if those are not the prices that consumers ultimately pay.*** https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-and-federal-trade-commission-file-statement-interest-hotel-room

All the cops and all the tech in the world won't keep you safe if you don't lock up criminals

New York City mayor Eric Adams (D.) on Thursday announced the city will start using gun scanners in its subway stations amid a surge in violent crime in recent months. Adams [said] that the weapon detection system would not record any commuter’s face or identification.  Adams noted the new technology would allow NYPD officers to monitor on a screen as commuters walk through the scanners. A weapon’s location would show up as orange on the screen, enabling officers to conduct an immediate search.  The gun detectors, however, will not be put into use until late June due to the city’s Public Oversight of Surveillance Technology Act passed in 2020, which requires the NYPD to wait at least 90 days before rolling out a surveillance system at a new location. The same scanners have already been installed at some venues in the Big Apple, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, CitiField stadium, and One Vanderbilt.*** https://freebeacon.com/latest-news/nyc-mayor-unveils-gun-scanners-in-subway-amid-violent-crime-surge

Exhibit 1

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – The manhunt continues Monday morning for an alleged gunman who entered a Nashville restaurant during Sunday brunch on Easter and opened fire, killing a man and injuring four others. The Metro Nashville Police Department says 46-year-old felon Anton Rucker remains on the run after the shooting that terrified customers inside Roasted on Garfield Street in Salemtown, a neighborhood located northwest of downtown Nashville. Rucker is wanted for homicide in connection to the deadly shooting, in which 33-year-old Allen Beachem was killed and four others were shot. Police pointed out in social media posts that Rucker has a lengthy criminal record. Police said he was arrested in Murfreesboro on felony drug charges in October and aggravated assault charges last August. Court records show Rucker was convicted of the lesser charge of assault in November 2014, after pleading no contest to a charge of aggravated assault on an officer. In 2009, Rucker faced more than a dozen counts of aggravated assault but was convicted on three counts, according to court records. A year earlier, Rucker was convicted on two felony counts of aggravated assault in October 2008, court records show. While keeping violent offenders off the street has been a purported priority for Nashville lawmakers and authorities, substantial legislation to combat this has only been directed at those who have been deemed incompetent to stand trial. That legislation came after the shooting and killing of Belmont student Jillian Ludwig. Months before the 18-year-old was killed, her suspected killer was released from custody after three doctors deemed him incompetent to stand trial.*** https://www.wsmv.com/2024/04/01/gunman-who-allegedly-opened-fire-inside-nashville-restaurant-easter-has-criminal-past/

Lot of time on their hands

NEW YORK (AP) — Inmates in New York are suing the state corrections department over the decision to lock down prisons during next Monday’s total solar eclipse. The suit filed Friday in federal court in upstate New York argues that the April 8 lockdown violates inmates’ constitutional rights to practice their faiths by preventing them from taking part in a religiously significant event. The plaintiffs are six men with varying religious backgrounds who are incarcerated at the Woodbourne Correctional Facility in Woodbourne. They include a Baptist, a Muslim, a Seventh-Day Adventist and two practitioners of Santeria, as well as an atheist. “A solar eclipse is a rare, natural phenomenon with great religious significance to many,” the complaint reads, noting that Bible passages describe an eclipse-like phenomenon during Jesus’ crucifixion while sacred Islamic works describes a similar event when the Prophet Muhammad’s son died.*** https://apnews.com/article/solar-eclipse-prison-lawsuit-new-york-3b6af5a2f1f8f320a1ed4918a560b525

When you don't have effective law enforcement

A Fairfax County, Virginia, female police officer was recently surrounded in her vehicle and attacked by a street takeover gang. Fairfax County Police Chief Kevin Davis shared the details of the attack that took place early Easter Sunday morning on the officer’s vehicle as she called in for help. The unidentified officer spotted the group doing donuts in an industrial area parking lot in Springfield, Virginia. When she approached the crowd in her vehicle, the large crowd surrounded her, shaking the police cruiser and attempting to break into the doors. “A huge crowd is hitting my car. I need units to expedite,” the police officer is heard saying in a video recording played at a Fairfax County police press conference on Wednesday.

One of the videos showed an individual waving a gun in the air. When more officers arrived, the crowd fled the scene. “The police exist to address crime and disorder. This is both crime and disorder. I don’t know anyone who has an appetite for this to continue,” Davis said Wednesday. The police chief shared several arrests of suspects they believe may be connected to Sunday’s incident. Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano was called out on social media following the street takeover. “You see what @FairfaxCountyCA policies have created in Fairfax County?” social media influencer Marky Mark posted on X. He added in another post, “But will @SteveDescano @FairfaxCountyCA charge them to the fullest extent of the law or plea them out?”

702 should be reauthorized, but violating FISA should be punished

The FBI is attempting to rehabilitate the public image of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act as Congress has until April 19 to reauthorize it. The bureau recently posted a video to X that features FBI Director Christopher Wray attempting to put a gloss on Section 702 as part of this monthslong campaign. The bureau's timely propaganda did not escape the attention of critics on X, where the post received a community note that read, "The FBI violated American citizens' 4A rights 278,000 times with illegal, unauthorized FISA 702 searches." Among the critics was Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), who wrote, "FBI just got called out in a community note on X. Congress — take note. FISA 702 has been used for warrantless surveillance of U.S. citizens HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of times. Yet FBI demands 702 be reauthorized by April 19 WITHOUT a warrant requirement for searches of U.S. citizens." "Many in Congress will want to reauthorize FISA 702 — which is set to expire April 19th — either without modification or (more likely) with fake reforms that fail to impose a warrant requirement for searches directed at Americans," added the senator.*** https://www.theblaze.com/news/fbi-blasted-over-attempt-to-put-gloss-on-section-702

Gang Member Jailed for Drug Trafficking

A Major Blow to Drug Trafficking

Sentencing of a Notorious Gang Member In a significant victory for law enforcement, Phil Cuellar III, a 36-year-old Corpus Christi resident and documented member of the notorious Tango Blast gang, was sentenced to over 14 years in federal prison for drug trafficking-related charges. The conviction follows a comprehensive multiagency investigation.   Collaborative Law Enforcement Effort This successful operation was a collaborative effort by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Corpus Christi, the Drug Enforcement Administration Houston, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Houston, FBI Houston, and the Corpus Christi Police Department.  

The Case Against Phil Cuellar III

Evidence of Drug Trafficking The investigation into Cuellar's criminal activities began when he attempted to sell narcotics via social media. A search warrant executed at his residence uncovered a significant quantity of methamphetamine, heroin, cocaine, marijuana, THC cartridges, nearly $20,000 in cash, and a stolen loaded firearm.   Cuellar's Criminal History During the sentencing hearing, the court received evidence of Cuellar's extensive criminal record, including previous felony drug possession convictions with intent to deliver, evading arrest, and being a felon in possession of a firearm.  

Implications of the Sentencing

Strengthening Community Safety Cuellar's sentencing represents a critical step in combating gang-related drug trafficking in Texas. By removing a key player in the narcotics trade, this action significantly contributes to enhancing community safety and disrupting criminal networks.   A Message of Zero Tolerance This case sends a strong message of zero tolerance towards gang-affiliated drug trafficking activities. It underscores the commitment of U.S. law enforcement agencies to prosecute and penalize those involved in such illegal operations.  

The Future for Cuellar

Custody and Prison Transfer Currently, in custody, Phil Cuellar III will soon be transferred to a U.S. Bureau of Prisons facility. The decision regarding his placement will be made in due course, marking the next phase of his 178-month sentence.   Ongoing Law Enforcement Vigilance The successful prosecution of Cuellar highlights the ongoing vigilance of law enforcement agencies in tackling drug trafficking and gang-related crimes. This case stands as a testament to the effectiveness of multiagency collaboration in upholding law and order.   Round Up The sentencing of Phil Cuellar III marks a significant milestone in the fight against drug trafficking in Corpus Christi, Texas. The collaborative efforts of multiple law enforcement agencies have successfully brought a high-profile gang member to justice, demonstrating the strength and resolve of the U.S. legal system in combating organized crime. This case reaffirms the commitment of authorities to ensure community safety and maintain the rule of law against the scourge of drug-related criminal activities.   Sources: THX News & US Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

First family event I took my kids to on the TAMUCC campus was an orchestra performance. There was a CCPD Officer there working the parking lot in a CCPD uniform.

"That's that bitch that thinks she's a police officer."

Just like with the Corpus Christi Independent School District, the university police chose to bury my complaints for the sake of protecting one of their own.

I never took my kids to another event on campus.

TW// ANIMAL ABUSE

Corpus Christi police department or the sheriffs department wouldn’t make any arrests after my mom’s dog was sh*t 3 times in the back by a neighbor.

Cash was not an aggressive dog. He was a big, dumb, loving baby. He was 9 years old and was killed in cold blood. Please share this so that we can get justice for my family’s dog. He didn’t deserve this. I’ve been in contact with people from the sheriff’s department in nueces county & trying to get ahold of DA, Mark Gonzalez of Nueces County. No arrests were made even though there was CLEAR FOOTAGE of the neighbor looking for/shooting JC. The abuser only got 2 counts of animal abuse and they made no arrest even thought my dog was MURDERED in cold blood.

He was like my brother. My mom’s best friend. He was the goodest of boys and didn’t deserve to be killed like that. Animal abusers should be held accountable. Please help us get #justiceforjc

Send to Kiii3News, DA Mark Gonzalez, Nueces County Sheriff’s Department, Corpus Christi Police Department. Anyone.

 Hebrews 13:2

Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

In Context | Full Chapter | Other Translations

  NEW- This was an unplanned- special request video-

Yes- as I have been slowing down on the videos- I have had a few friends ask me ‘are you ready to do a video’?

 So today- I honored the request-

Actually- it’s an honor for me to hear my friends share their experiences with God.

I did teach some on Isaiah 66 and will add that chapter below.

 I guess the theme would be ‘new beginnings’

The night before I read Isaiah 66- and the prophet says-

Isaiah 66:1 Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?Isaiah 66:2 For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.

I found it interesting that God said ‘ALL THOSE THINGS HAVE BEEN’

When we think we are the ones doing the building [in a sense we are- that is God is using us to build the kingdom]

God reminds us that ‘all those things have been’.

He had the blueprint for our life- before we were even born-

Ephesians 1:4

According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

And in time- we fulfill the mission.

But it’s easy to lose focus- get sidetracked- get overloaded with the mission.

Then God reminds us ‘I have already done the work- it has already been accomplished- it HAS BEEN’.

Later on down the chapter we read

Isaiah 66:22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.

Yes- God changes our perspective even though we might feel stuck in a place- yet- the heavens above- and the ground below- can be ‘new’-

When we are walking in the will of God- all things do indeed seem new- even at this present time.

Claire shared a dream she had a while back- I actually taught on it at the time- here’s the link https://ccoutreach87.com/2016/11/22/eastern-star-dream/ [I added the entire text below]

I found it ‘funny’ that those same verses- just happened to be in this same chapter-

Isaiah 66:7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.

Isaiah 66:8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.

Isaiah 66:9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God.

I won’t teach the whole thing again- but the dream had to do with giving birth-

At the time I told Claire that we- even men- ‘give birth’-

That is- God births things thru us- but first come the birth pains.

Roger- who shares the most on the video- also told me about some experiences he had when he was in the local county jail- a dream- and how the next day he was released- before his time was up.

If I got into the whole thing- it would take too much time right now-

But I did explain some stuff to him after I turned off the video- and it was significant.

This day seemed like a New Jersey type of a day- it reminded me of the times when I’m on the street with my friends up north.

It was cold [for Corpus] it was rainy- and I even spotted a vehicle with a New Jersey license plate in the parking lot of a local store.

As we were sitting in jack and the box- someone [who I didn't know] came up-

Claire said ‘this is John- he makes videos’.

The guy said ‘yeah I know- I have seen them on facebook’.

The same thing happened a few years ago- when I was in some restaurant in New Jersey.

So I guess this day- and the post- were meant to be.

You know- maybe God had it planned- before it even happened?

Isaiah 43:19

Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

Eastern star [dream]

POSTED BY CCOUTREACH87 ⋅ NOVEMBER 22, 2016 ⋅ LEAVE A COMMENT

EASTERN STAR [prophetic dream] Who raised up the righteous man from the east, called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? he gave them as the dust to his sword, and as driven stubble to his bow. Is. 41:2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: Acts https://youtu.be/u0mY1tr0hLo Eastern star https://ccoutreach87.files.wordpress.com/2016/11/11-18-16-eastern-star-prophetic-dream.zip ON VIDEO- .Dream .Signs .Apologetics NEW- [past posts- verses below] I debated about sharing this- but decided I would. Last night [on the day I’m writing this] I read Matthew 2- and I ask God to ‘speak to me’ a personal word of direction when I read. Now- the scripture has an ‘actual’ historical meaning when you read it- and at the same time God can ‘speak ’in a devotional- Rhema word as well. As I read the chapter- the verses that ‘stuck out’ were how the wise men from the east saw the star. Matthew 2:1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Matthew 2:2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. And when the star ‘stopped’ over Jesus- they rejoiced. Matthew 2:9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. Matthew 2:10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

Ok- I have been commenting on Revelation- and stars mean various things- in revelation they are messengers- human as well as angelic. Revelation 1:20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches. So- I focused in a devotional way- and ‘took it’ as God saying we would have influence in the East- where some people who follow our teaching are from [they saw the star- messenger- in the East]. No big thing. After I was finished reading- I turned the volume up on the radio [I lower it when I’m reading] and sure enough right at that moment there were the lyrics from this chapter I just read being sung on the station [some Christian song]. Hmm? Stars- messengers- signs from above. The next morning I got ready to go out- As I went to the car- there at the bottom of the door was a little flag- that said ‘star’ and it was covered with stars. I picked it up and put it in the car- have no idea where it came from- never saw it before. Then I went to the park to see my homeless friends. One of them- had a dream about me- last night. I’ve known her for a while- and this is the first time she ever ‘dreamed’ me. She was disturbed a little- but told me in the dream I was sitting at the park- my hair was longer- and lots of people were gathered around- like Woodstock. She said there was this light shining down from above- and it followed me wherever I went. In the dream I was singing- humming this hymn- but she did not remember the words. Then we went to a trailer [in the dream]- and this is what disturbed her- there was a dog that gave birth to 8 puppies. In the dream she told me there was something wrong- that it was a male dog- giving birth- and that’s not supposed to happen. Yet I told her [in the dream] that it was ok- I explained to her [in person- at the park- not in the dream] That there are verses- some significant to me- about ‘men’ giving birth. Jesus told his men when we go thru trials- its like ‘birth pains’- he compared it to giving birth- 20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. 21 A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. 22 And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.

And the prophet Isaiah says ‘more are the children of the desolate- then the married wife’ Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD. Another verse that I have had on my wall for a long time is- And this man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men. Micah Years ago it spoke to me about having influence among leaders- shepherds- ‘principle’ men. 8 to be specific. In the dream- after the male dog labored- he gave birth to 8 pups. The only thing she did not remember from the dream- were the words to the song I was singing. As I shared with her the chapter I read- and how I felt it was significant- and told her the song I heard on the radio with the same words from the bible I just read. Sure enough- those were the words she heard me singing in her dream I made the above video on the same day the events occurred- because I thought I might forget some details. And I might have. Overall I felt it was significant enough to share- So I did. NOTE- Write after I wrote the above- this was the verse from the chapter I read that evening- Revelation 7:2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, Thought it fit. PAST POSTS [verses below] HISTORY OF EVERYTHING- IN 1 HOUR And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. … 2nd Thes. 2:10-13

VERSES- Matthew 2:1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Matthew 2:2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. Matthew 2:3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. Matthew 2:4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. Matthew 2:5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, Matthew 2:6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. Matthew 2:7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. Matthew 2:8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. Matthew 2:9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. Matthew 2:10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. Matthew 2:11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh. Matthew 2:12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way. Matthew 2:13 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. Matthew 2:14 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt: Matthew 2:15 And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son. Matthew 2:16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men. Matthew 2:17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, Matthew 2:18 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not. Matthew 2:19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, Matthew 2:20 Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child’s life. Matthew 2:21 And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel. Matthew 2:22 But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee: Matthew 2:23 And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene. Revelation 1:20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches. Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD. Is. 54:1 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Heb. 13:2 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. Lk. 21:11

And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

In Context | Full Chapter | Other Translations

 Isaiah 66:1 Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?

Isaiah 66:3 He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations.

Isaiah 66:4 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.

Isaiah 66:5 Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.

Isaiah 66:11 That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.

Isaiah 66:12 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees.

Isaiah 66:13 As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

Isaiah 66:14 And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward his servants, and his indignation toward his enemies.

Isaiah 66:15 For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.

Isaiah 66:16 For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.

Isaiah 66:17 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD.

Isaiah 66:18 For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.

Isaiah 66:19 And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.

Isaiah 66:20 And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the LORD out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the LORD, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD.

Isaiah 66:21 And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, saith the LORD.

Isaiah 66:22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.

Isaiah 66:23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.

Isaiah 66:24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.

[...] This symbiotic relationship between the fossil fuel industry and police often means that the companies that are polluting Black and Brown communities – like Marathon Petroleum in Detroit, Valero in Corpus Christi, or Shell in Louisiana –  are the same ones that are aligned with and propping up police forces in these same cities. [...] Fossil fuel companies support police foundations across the country, especially in major oil producing states such as Texas and Louisiana. [Report from 27 July 2020.]

If a settlement cannot be reached, the case may proceed to trial, where the lawyer advocates for the victim's rights before a judge and jury. Throughout this process, the lawyer serves as a staunch advocate for the victim, striving to achieve the best possible outcome.

Types of Compensation Available

In car accident lawsuits, victims may be entitled to various forms of compensation to cover their losses and expenses. These may include:
