NYPOST: Meghan Markle ‘feels’ Kate Middleton ‘got away with’ mistreating her: source

By Samantha Ibrahim

August 2, 2023 9:43am Updated

Tensions between sisters-in-law Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton have been bubbling ever since the former actress married Prince Harry in 2018, according to some loose-lipped royal watchers.

An infamous incident allegedly occurred when the Duchess of Sussex, 41, claimed Middleton, also 41, made her burst into tears just days before her nuptials at St. George’s Chapel.

Five years on, their apparently glacial relationship is still making headlines, and Markle believes that the Duchess of Cambridge and her husband, Prince William, 41, still haven’t taken responsibility for their hostile actions.

“Meghan feels they’ve never been held accountable for the way they treated her when she was part of the royals, have never apologized and have seemingly got away with it,” an unnamed source dished, according to the Mirror.

The star of the suddenly record-setting TV series “Suits” is also allegedly shocked at the lack of criticism of the Prince and Princess of Wales.

Harry and Markle have hyped numerous projects — such as the Invictus Games founder’s memoir “Spare” and the duo’s Netflix documentary series — in which they spoke out against the United Kingdom’s royal family.

Another insider added that Markle was “convinced” the public would be on her side regarding the feud with the Firm.

However, “that hasn’t happened,” according to the self-proclaimed insider.

“This isn’t how she envisioned things would turn out, but Meghan knows the truth and will tell anyone who will listen that Kate had an edge [over] her.”

The Post has reached out to reps for Prince Harry and Markle for comment on the latest accusations.

Meanwhile, the big wedding debacle of ’18 started when Middleton reportedly told Markle there was an issue with her daughter Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress.

This allegedly led to a series of sobs between the two women.

It was first alleged at the time that it was the Los Angeles native who made Middleton cry, however, in a 2021 bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, Markle attempted to set the record straight.

She claimed that it was in fact Middleton who made her shed a few tears.

“The reverse happened,” the Tig creator told the media titan, 69, in the joint chat with Harry.

“A few days before the wedding, she was upset about something pertaining to — the issue was correct, about the flower girl dresses and it made me cry and it really hurt my feelings,” she said.

Markle continued: “And I don’t say that to be disparaging to anyone because it was a really hard week of the wedding and she was upset about something. But she owned it and she apologized and she brought me flowers and a note apologizing and she did what I would do if I knew that I hurt someone.”

“I’ve forgiven her,” she added of the aftermath where she buried the hatchet with Middleton.

In “Spare,” Harry also recalled the wedding incident, writing that he found Markle crying on the floor after the University of St. Andrews graduate almost demanded that all of the bridesmaid dresses be remade just a few days before the marriage ceremony.

I am going to answer this point by point so it is long:

Tensions between sisters-in-law Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton have been bubbling ever since the former actress married Prince Harry in 2018, according to some loose-lipped royal watchers.

-No, The Princess of Wales has risen above and done her duty impeccably even when she wanted to deck the b****.

An infamous incident allegedly occurred when the Duchess of Sussex, 41, claimed Middleton, also 41, made her burst into tears just days before her nuptials at St. George’s Chapel.

-Again with Meghan being UNABLE to let things go. She is going to be talking about this on her death bed. She truly felt that because she cried later, on the floor sobbing where only Harry found her, she was the mistreated one.

Five years on, their apparently glacial relationship is still making headlines, and Markle believes that the Duchess of Cambridge and her husband, Prince William, 41, still haven’t taken responsibility for their hostile actions.

-The only reason this “feud” is still making headline is because it is the only way for Meghan to get any attention whatsoever and have her name mentioned in the same sentence as “Princess of Wales.” Also, William and Catherine do not have to take any responsibility for their actions when said actions were more than warranted at the time. Meghan was/is a bully and they stood up to her which is why she is angry. She felt she was educating them on how to live their lives and they told her to bugger off which is incomprehensible to her.

“Meghan feels they’ve never been held accountable for the way they treated her when she was part of the royals, have never apologized and have seemingly got away with it,” an unnamed source dished, according to the Mirror.

-What do they need to apologize for? I believe it was Meghan who bullied Catherine for having “baby brain” and when pointed out to her that was uncalled for and mean, MEGHAN is the one that took offence at having been reprimanded for something SHE DID. She felt it was rude of them to call her out but by God, William and Catherine had better hand over the kings to the kingdom for all of their wrongdoings to Meghan.

The star of the suddenly record-setting TV series “Suits” is also allegedly shocked at the lack of criticism of the Prince and Princess of Wales.

-Oh please…it’s streaming on Netflix and there is literally nothing else to watch right now. Plus I doubt her residuals are anything substantial.

Harry and Markle have hyped numerous projects — such as the Invictus Games founder’s memoir “Spare” and the duo’s Netflix documentary series — in which they spoke out against the United Kingdom’s royal family.

-The one where they didn’t get the Emmy nod…hehehehehe…

Another insider added that Markle was “convinced” the public would be on her side regarding the feud with the Firm.

However, “that hasn’t happened,” according to the self-proclaimed insider.

“This isn’t how she envisioned things would turn out, but Meghan knows the truth and will tell anyone who will listen that Kate had an edge [over] her.”

-No. Meghan was convinced that the BRF would be on her side to begin with, most importantly she wanted William on her side because she wanted him to love/admire her and hate Catherine. When that didn’t happen she turned it as a “me against them” story and in the end she came out the villain instead of the victim. Catherine was ALWAYS going to have an edge over her. Catherine is married to the heir to the throne and will one day be Queen. Just because Meghan thought herself to be better than Catherine didn’t mean others would.

The Post has reached out to reps for Prince Harry and Markle for comment on the latest accusations.

-The will deny or not respond because all of this came from them anyways.

Meanwhile, the big wedding debacle of ’18 started when Middleton reportedly told Markle there was an issue with her daughter Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress.

This allegedly led to a series of sobs between the two women.

It was first alleged at the time that it was the Los Angeles native who made Middleton cry, however, in a 2021 bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, Markle attempted to set the record straight.

She claimed that it was in fact Middleton who made her shed a few tears.

“The reverse happened,” the Tig creator told the media titan, 69, in the joint chat with Harry.

“A few days before the wedding, she was upset about something pertaining to — the issue was correct, about the flower girl dresses and it made me cry and it really hurt my feelings,” she said.

Markle continued: “And I don’t say that to be disparaging to anyone because it was a really hard week of the wedding and she was upset about something. But she owned it and she apologized and she brought me flowers and a note apologizing and she did what I would do if I knew that I hurt someone.”

“I’ve forgiven her,” she added of the aftermath where she buried the hatchet with Middleton.

-Again she is like a Pit Bull with this story. She will NEVER let it go that people saw her for who she truly is and then didn’t buy her side of the story. She hasn’t and will never forgive Catherine because Catherine was rightfully upset and Meghan was the evil SIL.

In “Spare,” Harry also recalled the wedding incident, writing that he found Markle crying on the floor after the University of St. Andrews graduate almost demanded that all of the bridesmaid dresses be remade just a few days before the marriage ceremony.

-So Givenchy anon claims this is because the dresses were poorly made and Meghan kept changing her mind. This all had nothing to do with Catherine and everything to do with Meghan acting crazy.

Church Militant, the far-right Catholic media network, will cease operating at the end of April, according to a press release issued March 1 by the law firm Todd & Weld LLP.

The law firm announced that Church Militant, operated by St. Michael's Media, had lost a defamation lawsuit to the Rev. Georges de Laire, a canon lawyer and priest in the Diocese of Manchester, New Hampshire. Church Militant agreed to pay $500,000 and apologize to de Laire, said the law firm, which represented de Laire.

On Jan. 17, 2019, Church Militant published an anonymously written story titled, "NH Vicar Changes Dogma Into Heresy," about de Laire. After de Laire sued the outlet for defamation, the author of the article was revealed to be Marc Balestrieri, a canon lawyer who was representing a client in a dispute where de Laire was representing the diocese of Manchester.

⸻ born in the dutchy of norfolk as the first born of two career courtiers, to baron and baroness morley, jane parker was raised surrounded by politics and courtly intrigue. from a young age jane was exposed to what it would mean to become a courtier and follow in the footsteps of her parents, to pave the way for her younger siblings so that their path would be easier than hers and the next generation of the parker family might be as fortunate as they were, if not more so. at the age of ten she attended the field of cloth of gold along side her father, who travelled with his fellow peers, and her mother, who rode in queen catherine of aragon’s entourage, before joining the queen’s household in a position of her own only three years later. once jane found her own position at court she seemed to blend in as though she had never been anywhere else. duties to the queen, banquets and pageants became a part of her every day life but the greatest change came in the form of a marriage proposal.  

the boleyns came into jane’s life and changed everything, not only in her name, the creation of her own family and circumstance but in the entire english court. as the political climate changed within court so did jane’s loyalties, turning her away from former queen catherine to be in favour of the future queen and her new sister-in-law; anne boleyn. in her loyalty jane found herself mistrusted by those who supported queen catherine and later banished from court by the late king for aiding the removal of his newest mistress, but in spite of it all she remained firm in her loyalty to the boleyn cause and continues to do so now that a boleyn king sits upon the throne and her beloved children hold the boleyn name.

Convicted attorney Michael Avenatti is expected to face years in federal prison when he is sentenced in a Santa Ana courtroom Monday.

Federal prosecutors will seek 17 1/2 years for Avenatti for his wire- and tax-fraud scheme in Southern California. Avenatti has argued for six years.

U.S. District Judge James Selna will also decide if the punishment he hands down will run concurrent or consecutive to the five years Avenatti is serving for convictions in an extortion scheme against Nike, and for stealing from another client, adult film actress Stormy Daniels, in New York.

Avenatti argued that the six years he is recommending should run concurrent with the punishment he is already serving for the New York cases.

He made an "open plea" to resolve most of the charges against him in Santa Ana, meaning he had no guarantee what punishment prosecutors would seek. It is a rare move for defendants because they have no idea what punishment they may face.

Avenatti, who won a mistrial motion last year when Selna found prosecutors had withheld evidence the attorney was seeking to use in his trial, said he made the open plea to spare the five victims another trial, the court system the expense, and because he could not reach an agreement on a plea deal with prosecutors.

In the sentencing recommendation, federal prosecutors said Avenatti's schemes followed a "general pattern" in which he "would lie about the true terms of the settlement agreement he had negotiated for the client, conceal the settlement payments that the counterparty had made, secretly take and spend the settlement proceeds that belonged to the client, and lull the client into not complaining or investigating further by providing small `advances' on the supposedly yet-to-be-paid funds."

Prosecutors also said he was a "tax cheat," and cited his failure to pay payroll taxes after his firm acquired Tully's Coffee in bankruptcy and then obstructed the IRS when the agency attempted to collect the amount due.

Prosecutors argue Avenatti stole $12.35 million from his clients, failed to pay about $3.2 million in payroll taxes from the coffee company, and $1.6 million in payroll taxes from his law firm.

Prosecutors also make a legal argument that Avenatti, despite his guilty plea, has not taken responsibility for his crimes because he has not acknowledged culpability in more specific terms. For instance, prosecutors point to Avenatti's contesting of the restitution he owes.

Prosecutors acknowledge that Avenatti has written an apology letter to his victims, but that he "did not identify any specific conduct for which he was apologizing. Again, defendant said the bare minimum and only said it when the issue of his `acceptance of responsibility' is being considered in connection with his sentencing. This self-serving `apology' does not reflect an acceptance of responsibility worthy of recognition by a 2-level reduction in his offense level under (federal law)."

The prosecutors also argue that his convictions in New York federal courts should also boost his punishment.

Avenatti argued that the recommended punishment from probation officials is "dramatically and punitively higher" than other fraud and tax cases.

He painted a picture of a difficult childhood that led him to believe he had to "work hard and rely solely on himself to achieve success and contribute to society," his advisory counsel, Dean Steward, wrote in the sentencing brief.

He said he started working at 15, including at a McDonald's and in retail stores, and that when he was 17 he worked at an "athletic complex" in St. Louis, "where he managed five employees and umpired over 500 baseball games."

Avenatti had to work full time to pay for his college education and was the first in his family to earn advanced degrees. He earned a law degree from George Washington University Law School, moved to California and passed the bar on his first try and settled in Newport Beach in 2000.

Avenatti is a "loyal, loving, supportive and fun father" of his two teenage daughters and 8-year-old son, Steward wrote.

Avenatti also argued that his jailing in New York City while awaiting trial there in "horrendous conditions" should lead to a lesser sentence. He filed a claim with the government, which denied it, alleging he was placed in solitary confinement as punishment for being a prominent critic of former President Donald Trump.

During the pandemic, Selna ordered Avenatti serve under home confinement with a friend in Venice as he awaited his trials.

While in custody at Terminal Island, Avenatti has a "spotless disciplinary record, has been a model inmate, and currently has a security classification of minimum," Steward wrote.

Avenatti was also admitted into a treatment program and is active in Alcoholics  Anonymous. In addition, he has been taking courses to "prepare him for a life after prison" as the suspended attorney will soon surrender his law license and will not be able to ever practice the law again.

He also argued that multiple boxes of thank-you cards and letters from former clients were destroyed by the government so he cannot use them to help him make his case for a lesser sentence.

Avenatti argued he has taken steps to show his acceptance of responsibility with the letters of apology to his victims and by relinquishing any rights he had to a private jet he purchased with money he stole from clients.

While the government argued there was no way the two cases in New York could be combined, Avenatti said they should have been. He argued that had that been done, he would not be facing the prospect of a past criminal history that would boost his exposure in the Santa Ana case.

Avenatti had no prior criminal history before his convictions in New York.

He argued federal prosecutors forced him to defend three cases on both coasts and could have combined them all into one case.

Avenatti said, "This highly unusual decision resulted from defendant's notoriety, the government's desire to have three high-profile prosecutions of defendant, and an internal `turf' battle within the Department of Justice."

He added, "This is improper and highly prejudicial."

Avenatti quoted former Southern District of New York U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman's book on his efforts to work out the so-called turf battle with former Central District of California U.S. Attorney Nichola Hanna.

Avenatti said the federal prosecutors were "more concerned over who would benefit from a high-profile prosecution of defendant and avoid being `punished' by Main Justice. These statements also undermine consistent representations from the government that Main Justice was never involved in the prosecution of defendant."

Deploying on U.S. Soil: How Trump Would Use Soldiers Against Riots, Crime and Migrants (NYT) During the turbulent summer of 2020, President Donald J. Trump raged at his military and legal advisers, calling them “losers” for objecting to his idea of using federal troops to suppress outbreaks of violence during the nationwide protests over the police murder of George Floyd. It wasn’t the only time Mr. Trump was talked out of using the military for domestic law enforcement—a practice that would carry profound implications for civil liberties and for the traditional constraints on federal power. He repeatedly raised the idea of using troops to secure border states, and even proposed shooting both violent protesters and undocumented migrants in the legs, former aides have said. In his first term in office, Mr. Trump never realized his expansive vision of using troops to enforce the law on U.S. soil. But as he has sought a return to power, he has made clear that he intends to use the military for a range of domestic law enforcement purposes, including patrolling the border, suppressing protests that he deems to have turned into riots and even fighting crime in big cities run by Democrats.

Venezuelans in Caracas and across the world demonstrate to defend opposition’s victory claim (AP) Venezuelans across the world—some with flags and other patriotic paraphernalia—responded to a call from their country’s political opposition Saturday and took to the streets to defend the faction’s claim to victory over President Nicolás Maduro in last month’s disputed presidential election. The demonstrations in Tokyo, Sydney, Mexico City and several other cities were an effort by the main opposition coalition to make visible what they insist is the real outcome of the election. They also called on governments to throw their support behind candidate Edmundo González and express support to Venezuelans who are fearful in their home country of speaking against Maduro and his allies during a brutal repression campaign.

Austria battles flooding after record downpours (Reuters) Heavy rains lashed Alpine regions of Austria and left parts of Vienna under water at the weekend, causing severe damage in parts of the country and disrupting road and rail transport, authorities and local media said. Fast-moving torrents of muddy water swept cars through the ski resort of St. Anton, in western Austria, on Friday, footage posted on social media showed. Meanwhile record rainfall hit parts of Vienna in the east of the country on Saturday, state broadcaster ORF said. A large proportion of Vienna's average summer rainfall hit on Saturday in just one hour, according to weather data firm UBIMET.

Polish leader urges Nord Stream patrons to ‘keep quiet’ as pipeline mystery returns to spotlight (AP) Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk on Saturday reacted to reports that revived questions about who blew up the Nord Stream pipelines in 2022, saying the initiators of the gas pipeline project should “apologize and keep quiet.” That comment came after one of his deputies denied a claim that Warsaw was partly responsible for its damage. The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday that Ukrainian authorities were responsible for blowing up the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines in September 2022, a dramatic act of sabotage that cut Germany off from a key source of energy and worsened an energy crisis in Europe. Germany was a partner with Russia in the pipeline project. Poland has long said its own security interests have been harmed by Nord Stream. “To all the initiators and patrons of Nord Stream 1 and 2. The only thing you should do today about it is apologise and keep quiet,” Tusk wrote on the social media portal X Saturday. Tusk appeared to be reacting specifically to a claim by a former head of Germany’s foreign intelligence agency, BND, August Hanning, who told the German daily Die Welt that the attack on the Nord Stream gas pipelines must have had Poland’s support. Hanning said Germany should consider seeking compensation from Poland and Ukraine.

Russia readies for “decades” under Western sanctions (Reuters) Economic sanctions imposed by the West on Russia will remain in place for decades, even if there is a peaceful settlement in Ukraine, a senior Russian foreign ministry official said on Friday. Russia became the most sanctioned country by the West after its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, surpassing Iran and North Korea. Despite the pressure, Russia’s economy grew by 4.7% in the first half of this year. A Russian official said sanctions had some benefits, forcing Russia to restructure its economy and produce more value-added goods that were previously imported from Western countries.

India’s doctors strike in protest at rape and murder of colleague (Reuters) Hospitals and clinics across India turned away patients except for emergency cases on Saturday as medical professionals staged a 24-hour shutdown in protest over the rape and murder of a doctor this month in the eastern city of Kolkata. More than one million doctors were expected to join the strike, paralysing medical services across the world’s most populous nation. Hospitals said faculty staff from medical colleges had been pressed into service for emergency cases. The walk-out was the latest action in response to the killing of a 31-year old trainee doctor last week inside the medical college in Kolkata where she worked. The crime has triggered nationwide protests among medical workers and a public outpouring of anger over violence against women reminiscent of what followed the notorious gang rape and murder of a 23-year-old student on a bus in New Delhi in 2012.

Inflation has come for one of Japan’s most beloved cheap eats: Ramen (Washington Post) Ramen is an affordable comfort dish in Japan, where a bowl of warm noodles in hearty broth rarely costs more than 1,000 yen, or about $6.80. It’s a quick and reliable meal during a work lunch break, for teenagers hungry after school and salarymen taking a late train home. But as Japan experiences inflation after decades of falling or stagnant prices, one of the country’s favorite cheap meals is taking a hit. Ramen shops are closing at a record pace this year, as owners face the dilemma of raising their prices beyond the “1,000-yen wall” to cope with rising costs or shutting down. As of July, 49 ramen shops filed for bankruptcy, on pace to set a record for most closures in a single year, according to Teikoku Databank, a corporate research company based in Tokyo. The cost of ingredients, labor and electricity making ramen has increased by 10 percent over three years, the company found.

Doubting America’s ‘Nuclear Umbrella,’ Some South Koreans Want Their Own (NYT) Ever since the Korean War was halted in an uneasy truce in 1953, South Koreans have lived under an American promise to defend their country, if necessary, with nuclear weapons. President Biden emphatically reiterated that commitment last year, vowing that any nuclear attack by North Korea would lead to the destruction of its government. But decades of American assurances have failed to deter North Korea from building a nuclear arsenal and then expanding it. Led by Kim Jong-un, North Korea has also become more provocative, testing missiles powerful enough to reach the United States. And it has rattled South Korea by reviving a Cold War-era defense agreement with Russia, another nuclear-armed state. The South has long considered it a taboo to pursue atomic weapons in defiance of Washington’s nonproliferation policy. But jitters about security here have been intensified by the possible re-election of former President Donald J. Trump, whose commitment to the alliance between Washington and Seoul appears to be shaky at best. Now, a growing majority of South Koreans say their country needs its own nuclear weapons instead of relying on the United States for protection.

Israeli strikes in Gaza and Lebanon kill at least 25, officials say (Washington Post) Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip and southern Lebanon killed at least 25 civilians Saturday, according to Lebanese and Palestinian health authorities, as the United States and allies were racing to conclude delicate cease-fire negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas. The Gaza strike early Saturday in the town of Zuweida killed at least 15 members of the Al-Ajlah family, according to a relative of the family. A spokesman for the Gaza civil defense said at least 17 members of the family had been killed. In southern Lebanon, a strike on what local officials said was a metal warehouse killed 10 people, including a Syrian woman and her two children, the health ministry said.

‘There Is No Childhood in Gaza’ (NYT) The war in Gaza had barely begun when 9-year-old Khaled Joudeh suffered an unimaginable loss. His mother, father, older brother and baby sister, along with dozens of other relatives, were all killed in an Israeli airstrike on their home. In the months that followed, Khaled tried to be brave, his uncle, Mohammad Faris, recalled. He would comfort his younger brother Tamer, who, like Khaled, had survived the Oct. 22 strike that killed their family. But Tamer, 7, was left badly injured with a broken back and a broken leg, and was in constant pain. “He would always quiet his brother when he cried,” Mr. Faris told The New York Times in a recent phone interview. “He would tell him: ‘Mama and Baba are in heaven. Mama and Baba would be sad if they knew we were crying because of them.’” At night, when the unrelenting Israeli airstrikes on Gaza would start up again, Khaled would wake up shaking and screaming himself, sometimes running to his uncle to seek comfort. It was a short and terrifying existence for the young brothers that ended when another airstrike hit the family home where they were sheltering on Jan. 9, killing Khaled, Tamer, their 2-year-old cousin, Nada, and three other relatives, according to two family members. “There is no childhood in Gaza,” Louise Wateridge, a spokeswoman for the main U.N. agency that aids Palestinians, UNRWA, wrote on social media last month.

The trash in Mali’s capital is piling up. Donkey carts are coming to help (AP) When handling the garbage of a city of over 3 million people and equipped with little more than a face mask and gloves, it helps to have a sense of humor. Yacouba Diallo decided to name the two donkeys that pull his cart after his cousins, Keita and Kanté. Hauling garbage in Mali’s capital, Bamako, can be otherwise grim. The city more than doubled its population in recent years and struggles to manage its waste. Piles of garbage dominate some streets. Residents are turning to donkey carts like Diallo’s for trash pickup. The carts can weave in and out of vehicle traffic and reach more places than trucks can, especially on bad roads. Diallo said he can make up to $166 a month. That kind of money is attractive to youth who come from Mali’s rural areas seeking employment in the West African nation with high unemployment.

George L. Allen Sr. Courts Building.

Dallas Bar Association dedicates murals at courthouse Jillian BeckDecember 16, 2016 The Dallas Bar Association dedicated five murals in the garage of the George L. Allen, Sr. Courts Building on December 16.

The bar association raised private money to fund the artwork, which now covers the walls near the entryway to the courthouse.

The yearlong project stemmed from the vision of DBA President Jerry Alexander, the organization said in a press release.

Local artist Steve Hunter designed, painted, and coordinated the work on the murals and Booker T. Washington Arts Magnet School students painted one of the murals as a part of a class.

“Now the entryway for litigants, jurors, attorneys, and visitors coming from the parking garage into the George Allen Courthouse will present a much more positive first impression of the excellent legal system that we all strive for in that courthouse,” Alexander said in the release.

“The courts work hard in that building and the jurists and all that appear before them deserve this beautiful entryway to justice.”

Read more about the project on the Dallas Bar Association website.

Who's behind the new mural at a downtown Dallas courthouse?

The Communities Foundation of Texas has named attorney and entrepreneur James E. Bass as board chairman and appointed financier G. Stacy Smith as a trustee.

A passerby walks past a mural featuring the justices of the Fifth Court of Appeals after the dedicated of the George Allen Courthouse Mural Project at the parking garage entrance on Friday, Dec. 16, 2016.

The Communities Foundation of Texas has named attorney and entrepreneur James E. Bass as board chairman and appointed financier G. Stacy Smith as a trustee.

"With their vast business experience and knowledge of the community, Jim and Stacy will help guide CFT in its mission of amplifying philanthropic impact and catalyzing positive change throughout North Texas and beyond," said retiring board chair Frank Risch.

A graduate of Yale University and Stanford University Law School, Bass is on the board of managers at Trinity Summits LLC and Snowbird Holdings LLC and is a director of Reata Pharmaceuticals Inc.

His nonprofit work includes serving on the boards of the Trinity Trust Foundation, Hockaday School and St. Mark's School of Texas.

Bass joined the Communities Foundation of Texas board in 2011.

Smith co-founded private equity firm Trinity Investment Group and is managing partner of hedge fund SCW Capital LP. He also is a member of the Salesmanship Club.

He was formerly the portfolio manager at hedge fund Walker Smith Capital, which he co-founded.

The Communities Foundation of Texas shepherds over $1 billion in assets and distributed a record $106 million in grants in fiscal 2016 to support education, social services, health and scientific research and other needs.

Arty transformation

The tunnel from the garage into the George L. Allen Sr. Courts Building has been transformed from dim and dingy to bright and arty via funding from members of the Dallas Bar Association and support from Dallas County commissioners.

Dallas Bar Association president Jerry Alexander kickstarted the project to create the 11 murals that were dedicated last month.

"The total transformation of this space was accomplished through the combined efforts of members of the DBA, the Dallas Independent School District represented by Bernadette Nutall, County Judge Clay Jenkins, and County Commissioners John Wiley Price, Dr. Theresa Daniel, Dr. Elba Garcia, and Mike Cantrell, who got enthusiastically behind the project and made sure this county-controlled space was appropriately cleaned and painted and made 'art ready,' " Alexander noted.

Artist Steve Hunter designed and coordinated the colorful murals, including one executed by students at Booker T. Washington Arts Magnet School as a six-week class project.

"Now the entryway for litigants, jurors, attorneys, and visitors coming from the parking garage into the George Allen Courthouse will present a much more positive first impression of the excellent legal system that we all strive for in that courthouse," Alexander said.

The murals depict George L. Allen, a community leader who was the first black man to enroll at the University of Texas in 1938, plus current elected justices as well as landmarks including the Old Red Museum of Dallas County History and Culture and the Belo Mansion & Pavilion, which is owned by the Dallas Bar Foundation.

The lead donors were law firms Passman & Jones, where Alexander is president, and Polsinelli, according to the Dallas Bar Association. Terms of the donations were not disclosed.

Attorney Alphonso R. Jackson (September 9, 1945) cultivated a three-decade career in public service that included an appointment as head of the US Department of Housing and Urban Development under the administration of his long-time friend, President George W. Bush. Born in Marshall, Texas, he grew up in South Dallas, the youngest of twelve children in a working-class family. He earned a BA in Political Science and an M.Ed. from Northeast Missouri State University. He studied at Washington University School of Law in St. Louis, where he received a JD.

His professional career began in 1977 as director of public safety for the City of St. Louis. He became executive director of the city’s housing authority. He worked as a consultant for an accounting firm in St. Louis until he was made the director of the US Department of Public and Assisted Housing. He moved back to Dallas as the first African American to become president and chief executive officer of the city’s housing authority. As head of the housing authority, he represented the city’s poor and made several improvements to the previously tarnished agency. He left the Dallas Housing Authority amid controversy that culminated in several city council members calling for his resignation. He served as president of American Electric Power-TEXAS.

President George Bush appointed him to the position of deputy secretary and chief operating officer of HUD. Three years later he was given the post of Secretary for the agency. His term was marked by numerous controversies, including charges (later dropped) that he made intimidating statements while visiting a Los Angeles HUD office that was the object of union organizing efforts. He was forced to resign from HUD in 2008 amid allegations that he had mismanaged Federal Housing Authority programs and that he had given friends substantial housing contracts. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence #sigmapiphi #kappaalphapsi

She asked me if I wanted some vaseline so I said no my lips are hunger....overpopulations of prostitution in catholicized areas will look like birth viruses....most women carry it....my sanitation and help is just that much of a weirdo....when the prostitution population is finally lowered.....i will then look negative and dormant again....

That would be second wave feminism I would get mad at the guys but they all look mafia stalked and oh my God those women to us they don't talk to us or do anything at all

Their young women and they could be like look im an artist and for gainful corporate placement and this is what they do to poverty go threaten it with shit beaches....

Most of it tries to cause european displacement....the English to model for high end clients...he will pay for a half hour party then they all have to job with a title more then worker....that designer just kept letting it go on and on and on for hours ass

The English have to have royal title portrait with dog....oh my God how those people treat dog.....that not into war service anything to get a mental label to not go

Uhm it's the English portrait that doesn't then have to go....

She asked me if I had family to go to........so I said I actually am a mental not one of these creepy old felons out here that experiments with psychedelics

Pamela George their indigenous people and they will train a white to kill a prostitute and people finally don't have to tolerate bitch needs die of bitch needs

They will eventually shock value it and the government will tell it all it can have a welfare settlement and not go anymore

That's why I don't enjoy Canadian governments trying to give her killers more then seven years in jail....she was a whore and everyone has self defense pleas.....

Peoples who refuse to take part.....in taxation systems kill people of neglect...I was white and I don't owe white boys anything or anything....

That's me the white kids killed her but a whole community needed ritual sacrifice or the same unendurable system wouldn't stop

Its her own indigenous systems that left her around as a prostitute so I would see law as it's them that just killed her the community of course has no obligation

There is no communist information from ghana...about ritualistic gang murder within indigenous communities...Lauren

My Lakota friend from Tennessee she will finally let them see this she will show them in her head

Hare Krishnas are compassionate but they do not have feelings they don't do these good things because of feelings

Anyway I actually am a mental my birth father was killed and my mother had to work at a hospital with a physical handicap and I had to live with federal food replacement of folk culture and go to schools and get jobs....with no compensation out of the job money....their firm i only have job money.......and I had to be discriminated against at school....so I at least do not have secret brotherhood

Some of these bitches do lie out here nude they do have vet husbands and dads and they come out here acting like they need and their a bitch

Indigenous people are police now hopi prophecy they may be all one people

Anyway I was white so I don't want to practice many of the things Asian and indigenous peoples do.....I was catholicized and they will not kill something as grotesque as a rooster.....

Those dogs are heinous and they won't put it to use and be away from us

They could keep a chicken coup out back of the hare Krishna temple so that cars may not ruin people's food of emissions and they won't do things to remove cars from their building

Jesus eating is better then not....Carissa at least accidentally killed a dog so for her to starve and take battery they at least didn't steal her bed these people out here don't even have an asylum chair to avoid obligation

Those dogs finally will be a coat

I at least would feed the birds so they finally display their greedy dispositions and go for things they shouldn't and die off....so I still have in comparison....

Those birds steal anything they can

Birds aren't cute all the babies all cute

Indigenous people stalk me with those Jews were treated the worst slowly become the worst problem then you may....

The Catholics are mostly from Europe so I don't want to do catholicism either the Africans or Ghana communism had to live and practice in the basement because their athletic practice did ritualistic kills like joint removal for synthetic a.i. objects....

Their populations practice ritualistic kills till endangered emigration populations have to survive away from it because of iatrogenic disease....

They have diseases......and their phobic of anything different

She asked me if it's the women and the men so I said men are not prostitutes....men would never be people who just work.....men have military enlistment and they practice homo genetics and learn necessary trades that save humanity....men would never say they just work....

Anyway the mafia is really angry at them about them making me look like birth diseases and calling themselves that huge and muscle fit of aptitude because they can go out looking like piece of shit concentrations and that's all they do....

Skinner....they look like pieces of shit

Their woman is a bitch....so they may jog as pack

The mafia as explained to me is illegal immigration national Muslims seek to blame wealth Christians for things poor lazy muslims would not produce didn't like it wouldn't want to and the mafia looks for signs of missing inheritance from women and why their boyhoods were so oppressed it's christian women and christian women prefer raising boys

Because christian men prefer raising girls...they expect them with age to do sport with men instead of girls

Christian women with age do really start deteriorating physically and without a boy....

She asked me why I didn't get a job.....so I told her these people exhibit no reality there is no Time here nothing.....I am 43 and I have been homeless now like ten years the past few years of conflict have passed by so quickly it's like one day went by and ten years of steet battery....a few people came up to me for jobs but they are Asians that still live off their parents and so have too little respect for older people

So they wanted me to job like I was 18 or something and I am not going to die of a lot of Asian factory problems...when there are good people that give the same and labor less

Fools.........they start forcing people to run around in non sensical patterns when a few different engineering and management decisions stops stalking staff with physical conditioning their is little to no good here

The hare Krishnas will not farm at the temple

They won't do anything to remove traffick and buildings from themselves so military enlistment feels that it's sacrifice is given privileges

The worst Jew problems do go around revenging.....and it's you don't have to they can finally be someone and help....

The Jews for it committed hiroshima and Nagasaki.....and I suspect the hare Krishnas of showing some of the worst Jew problems how to travel among populations charming it into viruses....

That's me about military it's a fighter would you want people who manipulate your feelings to not have a political cause the way these people do....

Things at a distance are to kill school kids in Wisconsin and so I help remove public schooling or these people would go around children

She asked me about meal help and I said the homeless meal places are very unsafe....they need to purge out from themselves people to bad creepy and awful to their organization.....and so they manipulate and use poverty as a bait to have clear case law to finally be allowed maximum sentencing and it finally gone from them and people who use poverty that way.......

Im sorry but they could also increase psychiatric police funding and have traffick more patrolled and instead they let them get away with things so it can just finally die off them.....

These people's practice ritualistic sacrifice they have saints....

That's how I view good there is the right way about poverty like full restitution of their own lives rights and generational meaning then there is the military way which is good people and then there is the wrong way which is racists into death cult bondages.....

The stuff................oryx and crake crake was an indigenous person....if it's a charming mastermind that can run privilege corporate central it is an indigenous person....

So I don't think there was a Victorian age genocide it's look if your going to be Indians and Europeans and nothing else matters you can go there and the whites are going to give Africans stuff

I think African restitution occurred and Indians preferred to practice away from people's who can dominate through means of agriculture

Anyway the Taiwan asians have work I could do to improve my own living condition but they practice vegetarianism......and I can't survive to their company ethos hygiene expectation without meat eating practice here.....

They appear to still believe in a miasmata so to be able to use those types of soap and institutional obeisance you have to eat meat or you will get a psychiatric condition here

It needs an incumbant that can force developers away from land use and I don't think a Democrat or Republican can ever save the people's from large development folk ideas like it are viewed as demonic and if they can company people that's what they will do .....

Uhm to me there is cellular life so I just don't find animal and plant relevant it's victorianism and things reek and stink till people call plants meat eating

You ate a tree and trees have faces and when you admit that to me

If you keep cutting down trees for temples an ent will rise up at your people

I had childhood books about moving warring trees?
