Guy Thomas, 70, of Breckenridge, Texas, passed away peacefully on June 24, 2024, at his residence. A memorial service for Guy will be scheduled in the near future. James “Guy” Thomas, Jr. was born on October 19, 1953, in Abilene, Texas. He was the second child and first son of James “Rock” Thomas, Sr and Jenny O’Docharty Thomas. He was our redheaded daredevil and absolutely fearless. He married Nelda Marie Walton on December 9, 2002, in Abilene, Texas. Their home was a refuge for anyone that was down on their luck and needed help. Guy was a strong person that met all challenges head on. He loved unconditionally and if you were his friend, his loyalty never wavered. His quick wit and sly grin were most endearing.

Death Disclosure Laws and Property Disclosures in North Carolina.

Caitlin Tan wanted to breed her childhood horse, JP, because she’s been “amazing” — the type of animal any equestrian would be lucky to have once in a lifetime. Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.

People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

Louisiana State

Our good neighbors to the east just passed a law to put displays of The Ten Commandments in every classroom in all Louisiana public schools. No doubt, this will be the catalyst that returns Louisiana society back to paths of righteousness as casino gambling, parimutuel betting, liquor sales, and Mardis Gras beads all become figments of the distant past.

“[I]nvoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God,” the Constitution of the Confederate States of America composed by southern slaveholders in 1861 sought to “establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” The authors of Project 2025, the latest playbook for restructuring the federal government in order to accomplish the policy goals of Christian Nationalists, similarly declare their manifesto will “decide America’s future” by securing their “God-given individual rights to live freely” and exercise dominion over others.
