Herman Cain Suspends Presidential Campaign and Leaves a Void to be Filled
Posted by: | CommentsJust as the MSM would have wanted it, one of the front-runners for the 2012 Presidential elections has dropped out just days before the Iowa Caucuses after numerous allegations of extra marital affairs have surfaced.
On Saturday, December 3, 2011, Herman Cain stood in front of a crowd of supporters and announced that he would suspend his campaign. Cain received a great deal of support from conservatives across the country because of his extensive business background along with his common sense approach to many of the countries needs. During his announcement on Saturday Herman stated, “I’m not going to be silenced and I’m not going away!”
Who will take up the Presidential 2012 GOP lead following this announcement by Herman Cain? Will it be the establishment candidate Newt Gingrich? Or, perhaps, Michele Bachmann who has recently mentioned along with Rick Santorum as falling into the Abraham Lincoln or George Washington category? Lately, I’ve been hearing a number of Tea Party friends talking about Rick Santorum as their candidate of choice.
The key to finding out more about the Clara and Johnnie Russell lawsuit lies deep within the history of the Remuda Ranch Estates Homeowners Association board members where we will find out what it is this group of bullies is truly trying to accomplish with these frivolous lawsuits they have repeatedly filed against residents (numerous cases now) of the Remuda Ranch Estates.
After many discussions with residents of the estates, I have managed to dig up many new details which include numerous attacks and threats against residents posting this “WAKE UP AMERICA – Defend your Liberties” sign that is now in question with the ongoing Russell lawsuit. Some of the threats have been sent by board members via text messages and emails. There is one member of the board whose name continues to stand out and residents keep telling me she is behind most of the HOA issues while using the others as her pawns to do the dirty work for her. I won’t get into details about who this individual is in today’s story.
The current members of the Remuda Ranch Estates Homeowners Association board consist of:
- Tommy Stewart (President)
- Kathy Chrushielski (Vice President) (Previously mentioned as a friend of Judge Johnson)
- * Shelby Doughtery (Secretary)
- Susan Baird (Treasurer)
- Werner Pegg (Zones Director)
- Marvin Herring (Zone Director) (Who is also their GOP PCT Chair)
- Robert Montgomery (Zone Director)
The members or residents who have tag-teamed as the past Presidents of the HOA Board are:
- Tommy Stewart
- * Shelby Doughtery
- Wes Oliver
- Steve Coburn
Let’s just take a quick look at the current Remuda Ranch Estate Homeowners Association board President.
Tommy Stewart (Cowboy at large)
His name is Thomas (Tommy) Stewart. Tommy likes to sport the look of a angry cowboy while displaying a large caliber pistol and wearing a Obama T-shirt with a big Texas background at the same time. I’m betting you are thinking the same thing I am right now. There are just some things that don’t match in my description, but you can see for yourself in a profile picture he proudly displays (seen to the left).
Tommy likes to enforce the HOA’s rules on his neighbors who proudly display “WAKE UP AMERICA” signs, but doesn’t have much regard for the sign rules himself as you will see in some photos I will show you below.
He also likes to write the Star-Telegram to attempt to justify the boards iron-fisted actions to attack the Civil Liberties of the estate’s residents.
Here’s a short explanation provided by Tommy in op-ed,
For 38 years, the rule prohibiting certain signs in Remuda Ranch Estates has been part of the deed restrictions. (See: “No politics, please: We’re homeowners,” Bud Kennedy, Nov. 18)
Temporary allowances are made for political signs during elections, school spirit signs (90 days) and seasonal displays (90 days).
None of the allowances seem to list the signs Mr. Stewart does and has recently had posted on his property.
Tommy's Large Address sign approx. 2 x 5 ft
Tommy's 2 unapproved Garage Sale signs
As you can imagine, this is only a drop in the bucket of the information accumulated so far. If you keep an eye out for a new post by Mike at The Blaze, I’m sure there will be some more goodies popping up very soon.

UPDATE (11-28-2011 7:44 pm): An in depth expansion on this story was provided by Mike Opelka of The Blaze
Update also includes a minor correction.
This story continues to get more complicated and broader the further we dig into it. On Wednesday I reported on catching Judge Lynn Marie Johnson and her friend Kathy Kornegay Chruscielski red-handed after they had been busy covering up their tracks of friendship. Judge Johnson removed or hid a number of photo albums on her facebook page, which were previously accessible by the public, while Kathy decided she better change her privacy settings to private instead of public under facebook’s privacy settings.
Below you are going to find a, (previously captured) photo Mrs. Chruscielski had posted on her facebook while tagging Johnson on March 9, 2010 along with offering her endorsing comments under the photo.
Photo of Johnson tagged by Kathy Kornegay Chruscielski on her facebook
Kathy’s comment under the photo reads,
Photo Comment says, Kathy Kornegay Chruscielski… thinks Lynn Marie Johnson would make an excellent Justice of the Peace for Parker County Pct 4 – this portrait was made yesterday in my home studio. I know Lynn through her community service with the Aledo Advocats. She is dedicated to reducing crime, improving revenue and implementing Teen Court to bring our court in line with the rest of Parker County.
As I previously reported on Wednesday, The Conflicts of Interest Keep Getting More Interesting when in Parker County, Texas, Kathy sits on the Remuda Ranch Estates Homeowners Association board. That’s right! The same board that has sued Clara and Johnnie Russell for a sign posted on ‘their’ property which, according to documents, did not belong to the HOA to begin with. A couple of words really stand out in Chruscielski’s comment under the above photo, ” improving revenue”. Could this “improving revenue” have something to do with the connection between the two? There may very well be a good chance of that. Regardless, those words should be of great concern to citizens in this Parker County, Texas Pct 4. Is it a judge’s place to improve revenue or to uphold the law? According to all I’ve learned and know about our judicial systems, I believe it to be safe to say the latter of the two would and should be the answer and should be the primary focus of any judge.
Now, here is a screenshot Judge Johnson’s page before she decided to remove photo’s and photo albums…
Johnson swearing in ceremony as found on Chruscielski's facebook
Here is another photo of Lynn Marie Johnson’s swearing in ceremony as Justice of the Peace for Parker County, Texas Pct 4. Sure enough, it was found on Kathy’s facebook with Judge Johnson being tagged in it.
The proud comments, by Chruscielski, on her facebook photo read,
A magnificent setting for the ceremony…
Doesn’t this cause a clear ‘CONFLICT OF INTEREST’ concern when a judge’s verdict benefits a HOA board that an obvious friend of hers sits on? Yes or no? Give me your answers and thoughts in the comment section below.
Additional insights, from a local perspective, were offered by the folks at dfwvoter.com where they also reported on statements Johnson made in a press release during her run for the Justice of the Peace in 2010,
It is important that the Justice of the Peace take into consideration the seriousness of the offense, the threat to the community, and sound legal principles before the bond is set.
The characteristics of good lawyering are the same as the characteristics of good judging–respect for people, respect for ideas, and respect for justice.
The Justice Court is commonly known as “The People’s Court” and it is her intent to see that the Court operates to quickly and fairly serve the community within the confines of the law.
Constant reports back to me are saying the Parker County residents are steaming over this issue and the air is full of buzz inside, and outside, about the Remuda Ranch Estates Homeowners Association. I have been receiving many documents, emails, and phone calls regarding this case. If you have ANY information regarding this case and can help to provide more ties of possible judicial misconduct please use my ‘Contact Page’ to send me the information or leads you might have.
I have also received word of a defense fund being set up for the Russells to assist with their legal fees:

The Conflicts of Interest Keep Getting More Interesting when in Parker County, Texas
Posted by: | CommentsOne might be asking why I am on this story so hot and heavy? This story isn’t just about issues in Parker County, Texas. It’s a story that is taking place all across the country. It’s a common story of political, or judicial as in this case, assassination of good honest people just like Clara and Johnnie Russell who take great pride in their country instead of being haters of America. Nobody in their right mind would make a judgement of over $7,000 over a measly little sign that was harming nobody if there wasn’t something else to be gained in doing so. Nobody!
With that statement out of the way, let’s move on with today’s discoveries.
It appears a couple of friends in the Parker County, Texas area have been a quite busy since my last update. Perhaps it is an effort to cover up any concerns over a conflict of interest. While Lynn and Kathy may think they have outsmarted everyone, they apparently have forgotten about a handy little ‘Snipping Tool’ that helps us capture screen shots, in addition to the pictures that have already been downloaded.
Judge Lynn Marie Johnson, Just because you cleansed your facebook photo albums, doesn’t mean you’ve managed to get away from that conflict of interest issue that you probably should have excused yourself from. Less than 24 hrs ago this page was full of photo albums which were able to be viewed by the public. Where in the world did they go and what was there to hide in all those photo albums?
The Judge has been busy cleansing her facebook photo albums within the past 24 hrs.
Remember Judge Johnson’s friend Kathy Kornegay Chruscielski? You know, the same lady who is sitting on the Remuda Ranch Estates Homeowners Association board? Hmmm… somebody has decided to make their page private now when it was able to be viewed by the public less than 24 hrs ago.
24 hrs ago Kathy's page was open for public viewing and now it is set to private.
It sure is beginning to look as if a couple of friends in good ole’ Parker County, Texas are working hard to cover their trail of friendship or just maybe the ‘Conflict of Interest’ issue has them a little concerned. Or, maybe they are just upset that they have been caught red-handed as they worked together at trying to reach into the pockets of Clara and Johnnie Russell to help fill the coffers to keep Remuda Ranch Estates Homeowners Association from going broke. Or, as I mentioned above, this could easily be about something much bigger than the $7,323 the Russells were being stuck with in the judgement against them. The real answer to this mess might just be coming in the next couple of days as more and more continues to be exposed.
Ladies, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but screenshots have become a handy tool in this day and age of internet cleansing. I bet if you watch this site over the next couple of days, you might just happen to find what is now missing from your facebook pages.
I suppose this would be a good time to make mention that we also have something else up our sleeve that shows what this whole lawsuit was really about and it might have a little something to do with the phone calls that have been placed claiming that the lawsuit against the Russells had nothing at all to do with the content of the sign itself, when in fact, it appears that it did have something to do with the content and a little game of overstepping your powers to squelch free speech because it would be such a terrible thing to ‘Wake Up America’.

Here Clara Russell tell her story on Glenn Beck’s radio program on the morning of 11-22-2011: Beck fan in trouble over posting 9/12 and Tea Party signs in Ft. Worth, TX
The Russells have asked me to make a correction to Clara’s email address which was misunderstood by Mr. Beck. The correct address is: claravrussell@gmail.com for anyone wishing to help the couple or just send them a little note of support for taking this stand. I have also been informed by a friend of theirs that a legal defense fund is being looked into at this time to help them with legal fees.

Video: Wisconsin Capitol protesters disrespect the Veterans Memorial
Posted by: | CommentsUnion Protesters disrespect a Veteran’s War Memorial at the Wisconsin State Capitol by using it as a display board to take their signs on.
The YouTube channel “annalthouse” has many videos relating to the many union related protests that have been taking place in Wisconsin over the past few weeks.
Clara Russell Makes it onto Glenn Beck and Doug Giles to Tell Her Story (Updated)
Posted by: Trent Thevenot | Comments (0)As the Parker County, Texas case continues to unfold, Clara Russell finds her way onto Glenn Beck’s radio program on Tuesday, November 22, 2011 to tell the story about how she and her husband Johnnie were singled out to remove their “Wake Up America” sign while neighbors were proudly displaying signs of all types in their yards.
The interview began with a brief summary of the case by Glenn and then continued with Clara filling in some details.
On Wednesday, November 23, 2011, Mrs. Russell went on the Doug Giles program for a second interview to tell the Russell’s story, that details currently being uncovered in our investigation are seeming to lead to a much broader County wide level of corruption largely based on politics and a good ole’ boys network of the who’s who in Parker County, Texas. Listen to Clara’s story on Doug Giles’ Clash Radio program by going to the Clash Radio archives page and clicking on the 11-23-2011 recording.
Finally, I know everyone might have been expecting a little more of a story today, but today is Thanksgiving Day and I thought I’d have a little heart today. To top it off, it’s not much of a news day anyway. Wishing all our Proud American friends a Happy Thanksgiving!
I did find a new story with many new and interesting details from a more local perspective: North Texas Family Sued by HOA for Posting a Wake Up America Sign
