      REPRESENTATIVE GONZALEZ SUPPORTS ILHAN OMAR'S HR 5665

In the fall of 2021, Ilhan Omar, a well known member of the infamous "squad," introduced HR 5665, which would have required the United States Department of State to establish a special international program to combat and monitor Islamophobia around the world.  Ms. Omar's proposed legislation was enthusiastically supported by Congressman Vicente Gonzalez of Texas District 15.

Such legislation is clearly unnescessary and even dangerous.  Having lived for a number of years in the Middle East, the Diatribalist knows full well that the most persecuted religion in the world is Christianity. And the vast share of anti-Christian persecution has been brought on by non-Christians. Most Christian minorities living in Muslim-dominant lands daily live in fear of religiously-initiated attacks and experience legal bars to advancement in education and jobs.

The Diatribalist spent six years living under a Middle East monarchy, which saw him having to worship secretly with other Christians.  That experience made him value freedom of religion, as he had known it in the United States.

Ms. Omar also has decried discrimination of Muslims in the U.S. However, by far, the most attacks in our country on a religious or ethnic group are carried out against Jewish Americans.

Vicente Gonzalez, aka "Vicente con la Gente," was off base in this regard.  His time could have been better spent in promoting freedom of religion resolutions applying to people of faith from all religions.

DEO VINDICE!

Cameron County Healthcare District

By -
The number one issue now facing our county is the proposed boondoggle known as the Cameron County Healthcare District, which has great potential to bring about soaring property taxes and the imposition of financial hardship on those who can least afford it, namely those of limited income, senior citizens and young families. Designed to favor those with political clout and surreptitiously navigated through the Texas legislature, this scheme would foster a new bureaucracy, which would be nearly impossible to get rid of once in place.  The blueprint for this new taxing district would allow it to have the power of eminent domain and to raise the property tax assessment anywhere from 25 cents to 75 cents per each $100 of assessments.  This is intolerable, and especially so since it would essentially preempt existing agencies presently providing services the district would duplicate. Please get the word out to the hard-working, tax-paying citizens of Cameron County.  We must defeat this
