Woman Fighting Fine For Selling Tamales Without Permit

Filed Under: City of Carrollton, GoFundMe, Nextdoor, tamales

A Carrollton mother is stunned after receiving 

a “warrant arrest notice” in the mail 

because of her tamales.

Dennise Cruz recently found a yellow postcard from the City of Carrollton stating she needed to call the court or she could find herself in cuffs.

 “That has to be wrong. I don’t have any tickets under my name. That’s just my first reaction. Never would have I thought, tamales,” said Cruz. “To know that somebody can be arrested over that, that to me is unbelievable.”

A few months back, Cruz decided to whip up some masa, steam up some corn husks and post on Nextdoor she was selling tamales.

“It’s just so common. That’s why to me, I don’t understand why it’s such a big deal,” said Cruz.

But it was a big deal and carried $700 fine with the offense.

“When it hit me, I was like that is a lot of money,” said Cruz.

When she called the city, a clerk told her someone reported her for not having a food permit to sell the tamales.

“I don’t understand because if anything I would have rather them come to me first if they had any concerns,” said Cruz.

Carrollton Environmental Services said it takes food borne illnesses very seriously.

A director said a fine was issued and not a warning because tamales are considered “potentially hazardous food” due to the cooked corn and meat being used.

“What if somebody got sick from them? What if somebody could have died from them? And I completely understand those concerns,” said Cruz.

But she feels the city’s actions are a little extreme.

 “I’ve seen so many people doing it. And unfortunately it’s me who’s having to deal with it,” said Cruz. “I’d just rather stay away from that at the moment, making tamales.”

Cruz said the fine would be $617, but because she wants to fight it in court it is $700.

A friend set up a GoFundMe account to help pay for the legal costs Cruz currently faces.

A Libertarian Manifesto

The frustration with our government’s immense

Obtuse, insensitive and insincere

As congress seems. The cost of food and rents

Lawsuits, cars and School fees –– also dear ––

Insurance coverage too –– should be exempt ––

Be FREED from leeching levied from On High!

Ensure our freedoms. Do not tempt

Reprobates and Dupes wth The Big Lie:

That Someone Else should have to bear their weight.

A Helping Hand cannot in chains be held.

Resentment there soon festers into Hate

Instead of Help. The death of Hope is knelled.

Ambition to coerce Compassion kills ––

Nurturing Nihilism’s deadly thrills.

THE WRATH OF KHAN

Ann Coulter

August 3, 2016

Khizr Khan, the Muslim "Gold Star Father" who harangued Americans at the Democratic National Convention, with a mute, hijab-wearing wife at his side, is just another in a long string of human shields liberals send out to defend their heinous policies. The "Jersey Girls" were the classic example, first described in that magnificent book Godless: The Church of Liberalism . 

In order to shut down a debate they're losing, Democrats find victims to make their arguments for them, pre-empting counter-argument by droning on about the suffering of their victim-spokesperson. Alternative opinions must be preceded by proof that the speaker has "sacrificed" more than someone who lost a child, a husband, or whatever. 

Khan's argument, delivered angrily and in a thick Pakistani accent at the DNC, is that "our" Constitution requires us to continue the nonstop importation of Muslims. 

If the U.S. Constitution required us to admit more than 100,000 Muslims a year -- as we do -- we'd already be living in Pakistan, and Khan wouldn't have had to move to get that nice feeling of home. So the "argument" part of Khan's point is gibberish. 

Luckily, Khan had Part Two: His son died in Iraq, whereas Donald Trump does not have a son who died in Iraq, so he can't say anything. 

Yes, a candidate for president of the United States is supposed to be prohibited from discussing a dangerous immigration program because Khan's son was one of fourteen (14!) Muslim servicemen killed by other Muslims in our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. That's why we're obligated to import yet more Muslims – including, undoubtedly, some just like the ones who killed his son. Q.E.D.!

If you think that doesn't make any sense, keep your yap shut, unless you lost a child in Iraq, too. 

There were virtually no Muslims in America before Teddy Kennedy's 1965 immigration act. Today, we admit more immigrants from Muslim countries than from Great Britain. 

Are Americans allowed to have an opinion on whether that's a good idea? 

So far, it's worked out great! 

In addition to the sudden appearance of honor killings, clitorectomies, hijabs and massive government frauds, Muslim immigrants have given us: The most devastating terrorist attack in world history, followed by terrorist attacks at Fort Hood, the Boston Marathon, a military recruiting center in Chattanooga, Times Square, Vaughan Foods in Oklahoma, San Bernardino and an Orlando nightclub, among other places. 

We've admitted 2 million Muslims just since 9/11 – that’s more than had been admitted before 9/11. If we don't make it 3 million, we're monsters? May we ask how many Muslims Khan's mystery Constitution requires -- or is that out of bounds unless we had a child who died in Iraq? 

Apparently, sending out a victim to make their argument was the only option left for the "Make America Muslim!" crowd. 

After Trump  somehow got the crazy idea that a presidential candidate was allowed to discuss government policies and proposed a temporary ban on Muslim immigration -- which, by the way, is perfectly constitutional -- the entire media and political class erupted in a sputtering rage. 

Conscience of a Nation, Speaker Paul Ryan proclaimed: "That's not who we are." Jeb! Bush made the subtle and clever argument that Trump was "unhinged." Marco Rubio called any pause in Muslim immigration "offensive." ABC News' Jonathan Karl called Trump's plan "outrageous" -- which was way better than MSNBC, where Trump was compared to white supremacists and Nazis. 

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Trump had "disqualifie(d)" himself from "serving as president" for suggesting any slowdown in Muslim immigration. Vice President Joe Biden -- tribune of blue-collar Americans everywhere! -- said that if Trump were the nominee, Hillary would "win in a walk." 

Then it turned out Trump's Muslim ban was a huge hit with actual voters. Hillary, who promises to quadruple the number of Syrian "refugees" we bring in, is quite far from winning "in a walk." 

So the media and political class had no choice: They had to produce a victim to make their argument, in order to block any response. For their next trick, Democrats plan to produce a little girl whose parents were recently murdered to present their tax plan. (Better make sure they weren't killed by an illegal alien!) 

Does anyone know what Khan thinks of gays? How about miniskirts? Alcohol? Because I gather we're going to have to turn all our policies over to him, too. What have you sacrificed, Barney Frank?? 

Muslim troops accounted for 0.2 percent of all U.S. troop deaths in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Southerners accounted for 38 percent of those killed in Iraq and 47 percent in Afghanistan. 

What has South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley "sacrificed" compared to the families of these men? How about Nikki put their flag back up? 

The Confederate flag won't lead to thousands of dead and maimed Americans, as Muslim immigration does. The only danger posed by the Confederate flag is that media elites will hold the South in even greater contempt than they already do, assuming that's possible. 

But as long as they brought it up, if only people who lost children in our wars may discuss public policy, then only they should vote, not only on how many more Muslim immigrants this country needs, but on all government policies. What has Chuck Todd sacrificed? Have any current members of The New York Times editorial board ever lost a son in war? (Fighting on the American side.) 

The inevitable conclusion to the hysteria over Khan is that only those who have worn the uniform and heard shots fired in anger can vote in our elections. Hello, media? Hey –– where'd everybody go? 

________ FREDDIE GRAY _________

(A Parody of Wordsworth’s Lucy Gray)

Oft we have heard of Freddie Gray,

And, when we crossed the town,

We chanced to see at break of day

His blood still raining down.

No mate, no comrade Freddie knew;

He lurks forevermore, ––

A sadder apparition few

Will see in Baltimore!

Oh you may spy the Dregs at play,

With Crack and Coke obscene;

But the tortured face of Freddie Gray

Will never more be seen.

“To-night the monkey on my back,

Says downtown you must go,

And take my pipe to fill with crack

To pushers with my dough.”

“That, Mother! Will I gladly do;

‘Tis not long after noon ––

The Hopkins Clock has just struck two,

You’ll get your pipe filled soon.”

At this the Mother roared and shook,

Then snapped out what she’d planned

“Begone and quick,” so Freddie took

The Meerschaum in his hand.

And hither towards the dens of vice;

With many a wanton stroke

Poor Freddie took his Ma’s advice,

He knew it was no joke.

But riots rose before their time,

As Freddie wandered down,

And many hills did Freddie climb

To reach the flaming town.

The wretched mother all that night

Kept cursing loud and vile;

But there was no one wrong or right

To neutralize her bile.

At day-break by his door she stood,

Peered towards the Inner Harbor;

And in a looking glass saw she should

Visit soon a barber.

Dejected now she turned, and cried

"I hope in Heaven we’ll meet!"

As on the pavement she espied

The print of Freddie's feet.

Then downward from the steep hill's edge

She tracked the footprints small;

Right to the edge of a stone ledge,

Atop a high stone-wall;

And then an open lot she cross'd,

With cans and bottles strewn;

She tracked the prints, nor ever lost,

Until it was high noon.

She followed through the cursed spots

Until she reached an alley,

A place of many dried blood clots

Deep in a Shadowed Valley.

Poor Freddie’s footprints disappear'd 

He ne’er was seen again

Though many said they greatly feared

He’d died in screaming pain.

Yet some maintain that to this day

He is a living Child,

That you may see poor Freddie Gray

His body undefiled.

Through Baltimore he trips along,

In sunshine rain and wind;

And hums a plaintive little song

Denying he has sinned.

The Estrogen Convention

American Thinker, by Clarice Feldman

Every now and then for reasons no one can figure out someone sends me audio tapes and emails meant for Wikileaks. I just got a new batch and I thought you’d like them. The first series which I got on Monday seems to be from the Convention Planners. I’ve transcribed the audio to save you time. A. Planning the Convention -UNIDENTIFIED DNC ORGANIZER: First off, messaging on the Wikileaks DNC emails. Remember it’s the Russians. When they note the hacking started in June, before Trump was on the scene, just answer the Russians. If they ask if these were authentic, …

Crazy World

from 

Victor-Victoria

sung by 

Julie Andrews

Crazy world

Full of crazy contradictions like a child

First you drive me wild

And then you win my heart 

with your wicked art

One minute tender, gentle

Then temperamental as a summer storm

Just when I believe your heart's

getting warmer

You're cold and you’re cruel

And I, like a fool, try to cope

Try to hang on, to hope

Crazy world

Everyday the same old roller coaster ride

But I've got my pride

I won't give in

Even though I know I’ll never win

Oh, how I love this crazy world!
