I look forward to the day when Karma exacts its ugly head towards Laura Egbert. When it happens, I'll be there to smirk at her. She deserved it. And more.

Dion Needs Our Help

 A well known Deaf blogger, activist and MASLED student at Gallaudet, Dion Williams has requested the public for help in getting donations to cover his grandmother's funeral expenses.  His grandmother, Delores Lois Biscoe, has passed away due to the complications with COVID19.  I made a donation right away as quickly as I learned of his grandmother's passing.

Long story short, I was in touch with Dion on the first days when his grandmother was admitted into the hospital. We talked a lot and his frustrations were valid when he noticed the disparities in medical service between the whites and the blacks. He repeatedly told me his fears about what would happen to him or his family members. And in end, he was right. 

Little did Dion and his family learned that his grandmother's insurance policy has lapsed and because of that, they are unable to have a decent and proper burial for her.  And they are in urge need of $8,000 to help out with the funeral expenses. For many years that I have come to know Dion, he is quite protective of his grandmother and mother.  He frequently talked about how much they made an impact on his wellbeing.  

There is another Deaf person who has terminal liver cancer and is dying - his family made a plea for donations and was able to raise more than $35,000 in less than a month. Never mind the fact that he has a great job, has stocks and homeowner in his right and plus, he's white. And he was able to raise $35,000. 

And Dion only asked for $8,000.  He has a long way to reach the goal. Time is of essence.

I plead you to do the right thing and help out with this. If you have the sense of decency, you will do the right thing.

Deaf Postal Worker Arrested

In Pittsburgh, two letter carriers were arrested for dumping mails.  Sean Troesch and James McLenigan worked at two different post offices and were caught for dumping mails.  Sean is into QAnon shit, according to New York Daily News.

• James may face maximum of 5 years in prison, $250,000 fine or both.

More on Dana Flores

 After talking with several individuals including the ones that were close to Dana & Jordan Flores, I have the information that clearly showed the pattern of Dana Flores' destructive behavior which led her CODA son, Jordan to murder her.

Jordan is 17 years old CODA, son of Dana Flores and the hearing military father who is married to another woman. The "another" woman is obviously Jordan's stepmother.  

Jordan was diagnosed with Schizoaffective Disorder as well as mild (Aspergers) of Spectrum Autism Disorder. Jordan was usually living with his father until his father married his stepmother who refused to let Jordan come out of his bedroom until his father comes home from work. That led Jordan to seek another housing. Where does that leads him to?  Of course, his mother, Dana Flores.

Dana Flores has been well known for her obsession in getting oxycodeine pills as much as can, several of her close friends and roommates told me that she averaged 18-25 times visits per month to her primary & specialist doctors, ER and urgent cares which triggered her to have red flag in three states (California, Utah and Illinois) before she quickly relocated to Seattle.

Jordan's elder sister was taken away by CPS and was raised by her grandmother. And as of today, she is now nurse studying to be RN and refused to do anything with her own mother.  

Dana and her ex husband was hooked to these pills which led her to lose all of her teeth.  After she was red flagged in Illinois, she turned to her husband, John Dee to score the pills, he obliged until John's father discovered that he was trying to score for her and rescued him and helped him to annul the marriage immediately. 

Thanks to the help of ADWAS of Seattle, Dana was able to get the funding and the place to live by relocating to Seattle from Louisiana which she stayed for a brief time.

Jordan was practically ignored by his parents, especially by Dana who spent more time at hospitals and doctors' offices seeking the pills.  To make things worse, ADWAS was enabling her habits.  At one point, one witness said, Dana roughed Jordan up for not doing homework assignment that led him to push her lightly - Dana used that opportunity to throw herself and broke her arm so she can get the pills. 

Because of that, Jordan was placed in a group home - that bore his permanent hatred and obsession of putting his mother out of her misery.  

And the rest is history.

As far as I am concerned, Jordan does not belong to the prison system.  The system failed him, his father failed him, his mother failed him and he needs treatment, not the prison. And much to my disappointment, ADWAS enabled Dana's narco activities.

Shooting and Killings

 There was a shooting right outside of Rhode Island School for the Deaf (RISD) in Providence, killing 1 and injuring two.  The local police chief mentioned that no student were harmed. Apparently it was a shootout of some kind, targeting some SUV. Not sure if these people that were killed and injured has any kind of connection to RISD.

On the west coast out of Seattle, Washington, the press has indicated that CODA killed his Deaf mother in an apparent domestic dispute. I have identified the individuals:  The mother was Dana Flores and her son is Jordan. Jordan was arrested afterwards.  Not much information out of Seattle at this point.

Once a trash, always a trash.

One interesting tidbit about Eve Wood-Jacobowitz. Someone told me that several years ago, at Gallaudet's LLRH6, apparently she lost the bet with someone else and she jumped inside the trash chute down into the dumpster. She had to be rescued and needless to say, she was fined for doing that.

Trash coming down the trash chute. Typical.
