This over the top Tyler Perry series (yes that Tyler Perry) has it all!!
Dynasty meets P-Village, meets Empire. (Someone on IMDB said)
It's got human trafficking, strippers, suspense, ultra rich people, family members who hate each other, corruption, family members who kill each other, explosive rage, spoiled people, cat fights, bitches and hoes, plot twists, lots of murders, drugs, debauchery, poverty, cut throat people. You name it. 16 episodes kept my mind off Trump! Kept my attention and my adrenalin going.
Another season is planned.
Why are there 100 human teeth buried in my yard? Texas police explain.
On March 4, the Hondo Police Department received a call about possible human teeth buried in a yard outside a local residence, the department said on social media.
The Criminal Investigations Division headed to the scene and found over 100 teeth in the soil, which a local dentist confirmed had all been extracted from humans some time ago.
"Now, before you start drafting your next true-crime podcast script, there’s a logical explanation!" Hondo police wrote.
Investigation revealed that the previous homeowners were dentists in Hondo between 1955 and 1975. Police contacted the dentists' family members, who told them burying teeth was considered a good luck charm for selling a home.

Border Protection contractor cuts most jobs at 5 Texas migrant camps
Source: San Antonio Express-News
A contractor providing staffing for five Customs and Border Protection migrant camps along the southern border has laid off 666 people, apparently in response to a continuing decline in illegal border crossings.
LUKE Holdings Inc. of Rockledge, Fla., dismissed employees from sites in Del Rio, Donna, Eagle Pass, Laredo and El Paso, according to a notice Wednesday to the Texas Workforce Commission.
Their last day was Feb. 27, when workers received letters from the company saying the federal government had mandated the immediate firings as part of a contract modification.
"We must conduct employee separations in connection with the government ordered staff reduction at the location where you provide services," wrote Norma Tejeda, LUKE's vice president of human resources. "At the present time, this action is expected to be permanent."

I'm sure many of the 666 employees at these camps were Trump voters! The irony! They voted for him because of their jobs. Now they're without a job!
Last night I avoided Trump's speech, I followed along on DU.
Then, I saw nothing but criticism of Democrats.
Something ain't right.....
Were they supposed to go all Jan 6th or something?????
WTF? Kristi Noem on a commercial. How is this not a campaign ad? Who is paying for this?
https://news4sanantonio.com/news/local/kristi-noem-announces-multimillion-dollar-ad-campaign-to-curb-illegal-immigrationWhy our congress critters are not out protesting.
I am chair of a committee with the local Democratic Party. We work on party business: Upcoming Municipal Elections and New Elections Administrator. It is also time for Election Judges to be recertified. We have a list of judges that we need to contact ASAP!
We have to get vote by mail applications out. We are working on having literature for the municipal elections. Meanwhile I have a meeting to run tomorrow. This is sandwiched in with protests. However, a new protest sprung up and will take place during my meeting. I may have no attendance at my meeting. So business will be postponed and another meeting will be added.
This is not really a big deal, but parties are not "protest groups". If we get all wrapped up in protesting We will not have election judges in 2026. We will not have literature for our municipal election. Vote by Mail Applications will not be delivered. We will not have time for GOTV efforts for our municipal election. We will not be prepared for the election.
Now you may think that the local Democratic Party is all about protesting and resisting. It isn't. It's a business organization that has deadlines to meet.
Now just imagine congress? They have ten times work and much more. They can't be missing meetings. They can't ignore quorums, unless it is by design. Just like you didn't know what all went on with my little committee position, we don't know all the work that their jobs entail. They really can't afford to give up their day job in order to protest.
Thank You!
Eggs are only $2.06 a dozen at my local San Antonio HEB!
Where did they get all the shells? Usually cascarones are much more expensive than eggs!
Usually families save shells for several months and make their own.
