Elderly Man Missing near Granbury

Adapted for Web by Tracy DeLatte | myFOXdfw.com

GRANBURY, Texas - An 82-year-old Hood County man mysteriously vanished two weeks ago. Now law enforcement officials and family members hope someone will come forward with answers.

William Moore left his home in the Pecan Plantation subdivision near Granbury, southwest of Fort Worth, on March 10 and never returned.

He likely spent the morning at his family’s airplane hanger.

“He’d sit out there and smoke his pipe, read his paper and drink coffee,” said David Moore, his son.

On the day he disappeared Moore was supposed to go to an auto parts store to pick up a special-order airplane part, but he never made it.

The Hood County Sheriff’s Office has not issued a silver alert in the case because Moore does not have a history of mental or physical issues that might prevent him from returning home.

But investigators are stumped because none of his credit cards or bank accounts have been used and his brown 1997 Dodge pickup truck is also missing.

Friends, family members, volunteers and police have searched the area with no luck. David Moore said he and some of his pilot friends have also used their planes to search from the sky.

“There’s just nothing and that's what's so frustrating. There's no information, no clues, no sightings. It's like he just disappeared,” he said. “I know he was nearing the end of his life but it's not supposed to be this way.”

Anyone with information is encouraged to call the sheriff’s office at 817-579-3316.

The History of Social Security

noreply@blogger.com (Jesse C Smith Jr) — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 00:46:00 +0000

If there is anyone out there that doesn't know this, this is the best visual presentation you will find.

.... Now don't be mad at old people, just remember who did this ....

Franklin Delano. Roosevelt
32^nd. President, Democrat
Terms of Office March 4, 1933, to April 12, 1945

Our Social Security:
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (terms of office March 4, 1933, to April 12, 1945), a Democrat who introducedthe Social Security (FICA) Program.

He Promised:

1.)     That participation in the Program would be completely voluntary,
2.)     That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual incomes into the Program,
3.)     That the money the participants elected to put Into the Program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year,
4.)     That the money the participants put into the Independent 'Trust Fund' rather than into the General operating fund, would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program, and
5.)     That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income.

Many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month -- and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to'put away'â€”so you may be interested in the following:

Dwight David Eisenhower
34^th. President, Republican,
Term Of Office: January 20, 1953 to January 20, 1961

Insert by Vincent Peter Render,

If I recall correctly, 1958 is the first year that Congress, not President Eisenhower, voted to remove funds from Social Security and put it into the General Fund for Congress to spend.

If I recall correctly, it was a democratically controlled Congress.

From what I understand,Congress' logic at that time was that there was so much moneyin Social Security Fundthat it would never run out / be used up for the purpose it was intended or set aside for.

-------------WORSE STILL-----------

Lyndon Baines Johnson 36^th. President,Democrat
Term Of Office: November 22, 1963 toJanuary 20, 1969

Question: Which Political Party took Social Security from the Independent 'Trust Fund' and put it into the General Fund so that Congress could spend it?

Answer: It was Lyndon B. Johnson (Democrat, Term of Office: November 22, 1963 to January 20, 1969) and the democratically controlled House and Senate.

-------------------------------READ ON -------------------------------------

Question: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax Deduction for Social Security
(FICA) withholding?
Answer: The Democratic Party.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------MOREOVER-------------------------------------

William Jefferson Clinton (Bill Clinton) 42^nd. President Democrat Term of Office: January 20, 1993 to January 20, 2001	Albert Arnold Gore, Jr. (Al Gore ) 45^th. Vice President Democrat Term of Office: January 20, 1993 to January 20, 2001
Question: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities? Answer: The Democratic Party, with Albert Arnold Gore, Jr. (Al Gore) [Vice President Term of Office: January 10, 1993 to January 20, 2001] casting the 'tie-breaking' deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the US ...

------------------THE STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMEL'S BACK!!-----------------------

James Earl Carter, Jar
(Jimmy Carter)
39^thPresident, Democrat
Term of Office: January 20, 1977 to January 20, 1981

Question:   Which Political Party decided to start giving Annuity paymentsto immigrants?

AND MY FAVORITE:

ANSWER: That's right! JAMES EARL CARTER, JR. (JIMMY CARTER) (DEMOCRAT, TERM OF OFFICE: JANUARY 20, 1977TO JANUARY 20, 1981 AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
IMMIGRANTS MOVED INTOTHIS COUNTRY, AND AT AGE 65, BEGAN TO RECEIVE SOCIAL SECURITY PAYMENTS:   THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY GAVETHESE PAYMENTS TO THEM,EVEN THOUGH THEY NEVER PAID A DIME INTO IT!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Then, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away!

And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it!

If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of Awarenesswill be planted and maybe changes WILL evolve! Maybe not, some Democrats are awfully sure of what isn't so. But it's worth a try. How many people can YOU send this to?
Actions speak louder than bumper stickers.
AND CONGRESS GIVES THEMSELVES 100%RETIREMENT FOR ONLY SERVING ONETERM!!!

Another Free Market Failure Accusation About Texas Electricity Deregulation

by admin

Mike Norman with the Fort Worth Star Telegram hits on the topic of if Texas deregulation is really working. I assume he places blame on deregulation as the reason for the Texas power supply failure because the title of his article states, “The Texas free market for electricity just isn’t cutting it“. Maybe he is just meaning that as good as deregulation is it can’t stop the EPA and other non-governmental organizations from halting all oil based energy production thereby raising consumer costs. Deregulation being a failure is a popular argument because any time prices go up or supply capacity is reached we hear about it from the political side that benefits the most from this view.

Is deregulation to blame for every time something bad happens in the deregulated Texas electricity market? No you can’t always blame it on deregulation but it is a piece of the puzzle so yes it is to blame sometimes. The main problem with deregulation isn’t inefficiencies building electric grid infrastructure and power production as this gets approved by the state and then shutdown by the EPA and federal government, not deregulation. Texas has broken up the generation companies and such away to allow new investors to come in and build power facilities but not many have filled this hole left open for increased competition. I think new investors have not come in because you are talking about investing in and building highly federally regulated things like coal, natural gas, and nuclear power facilities. What new investors want to do what TXU just got shutdown by the EPA for trying to do? I see problems with how some retail providers try and use tricks to market their electric rates but regarding power supply being built out the bottleneck seems to be in government regulation still being in the mix too much.

Even if the market was regulated again under one monopoly per electric utility area you would just as easily be able to blame brownouts and blackouts on the monopoly regulated electric utilities just like deregulation gets blamed for things now. I don’t think Mike is trying to place all the blame on deregulation but he is pointing out that you will see an electric bill increase regardless of the provider you choose because of some recent failures in the Texas deregulated market. You see you very likely will find more non-negotiable ERCOT related fees on your electric bill eventually because of lack of electric supply available to meet demand but who is really to blame for this?

Mike explains that a free market should work in theory because investors are encouraged to place their money where the highest return will be received and in so doing offer just enough electricity to cover the demand as well as spikes in demand. In a perfect system the investor is rewarded a maximum profit for producing just the right amount of power with very little waste left over.

The problem Mike sees with the current deregulated market in Texas is that power plants break down or have to be shutdown to fix or maintain it resulting in loss of supply. If Murphy’s Law is in effect and a power demand spike occurs around the same time as a maintenance shutdown all of a sudden there is not enough power to go around for everyone.

These imperfections are problems that political powers bring up in order to fault the great electricity deregulation experiment of 2002. Will this blame game reverse deregulation in Texas? I really doubt that deregulation can be reversed anytime soon. There is huge public support for energy choice in Texas. Many people can show you on their electric bills how they have saved money because of deregulation simply from using our Electricity Bid website.

Is Deregulation to Blame for Lack of Sufficient Power Supply in Texas?

The problem we are faced with in regards to electric power supply in Texas for 2012 is unreliable power supply due to not enough power plants in operation. Is deregulation responsible for this lack of power?

No! In fact TXU was approved for and planning to build 11 new coal fired power plants that utilized clean burning technology and significantly reduced pollution from these plants compared to the old mothballed coal plants from the past. The prior mayor of Houston and Democratic nominee for governor of Texas, Bill White complained in 2010 that these plants were unnecessary but now they seem all too necessary. ERCOT predicts very tight power supplies this summer and this has politicians frantic but I’m sitting here wondering why we didn’t just get started on those 11 coal plants in 2010?

I think what Pat said has a lot to do with our problems…..Pat Ennis with Priority Power Management said, “”I’m not the smartest guy around, but I’d be willing to bet that… we’re not going to have any coal plants built here in Texas for a long time — between the EPA and the environmentalists, coal is kind of a no-no.”

The state of Texas has been contending with attacks from the Environmental Defense Fun and the EPA in regards to an argument that is mainly about the states CO2 emission levels. Instead of focusing their argument primarily on pollution like mercury levels and other scientifically verifiable pollutants they were able to stop 11 new coal fired power plants from being built by TXU because of a global warming argument.

Many scientists and climate scientists non-affiliated or backed by the United Nations IPCC organization disagree that global warming has a negative environmental impact or that man has anything to do with it. Over the last decade their has been a decline in average global temperatures and so to even argue CO2 levels to prevent Texas from expanding their power capacity only serves to hurt these environmental activists causes.

What Can Texans Do to Increase Power Supply?

Does anyone remember back a few years ago when TXU proposed building multiple state of the art clean burning coal power plants? These power plants would have significantly updated the power infrastructure in Texas but the plan was shutdown because of environmental nut jobs. Even though the power plants would have been state of the art cheap coal power with significant reductions in pollution compared to current coal power plants in operation the plan did not go through. The state of Texas must fight the EPA and federal government politically where it hurts and take back our state and its ability to provide power to our citizens.

Even with an unsatisfactory amount of power generation plants built in Texas we have seen a steady increase in large commercial and industrial facilities building on-site power grid infrastructure that are little mini power generators for their companies. These miniature power generators also known as distributed generation systems account for a large portion of the overall electricity consumption in Texas. During peak demand periods in the day these generators can turn on resulting in no need for the state to start rolling blackouts in residential neighborhoods.

Popout

The Texas demand curtailment program has been a huge success. Companies are paid to enroll in a program that they do not even have to participate in when and if they are asked to turn off their power for maybe only 20 – 30 minutes in the span of 1 month. The program is enrolled to it’s limits each time Texas opens it back up. What does this mean? There are likely more than enough large commercial and industrial facilities that would jump at the chance to shutdown production for a short interval in exchange for being paid by the state of Texas to do so. Consider that many large companies like this shutdown once a month anyway to test their back up generators so why not get paid to do this?

Solar generation at this time is not a good option for solving the states problems but has limited uses. As we have seen, large federally backed companies like Solyndra have not even been able to stay a float because of the expense it costs to produce cheap affordable power using solar. Hey I am a fan of solar but like most people I can’t afford to build a solar off the grid system on my home or business. If I can’t afford the system like most of us why would you think the federal government can? We are at record breaking tax deficits in the beginning stages of an economic collapse and those tax dollars are to be used for things that are considered affordable and have at least a 10 year return on investment. Wind power is a partial option but is only viable to use in combination with natural gas power generation as it can share in the control systems and connections to the grid.

The smart meters, and energy efficiency programs utilities across the state offer continue to assist in teaching home owners how to make their homes more efficient and lower their monthly energy bill. These programs should continue to be encouraged and promoted through local electric utilities that control the power infrastructure.

Obama allows hundreds of thousands of Palestinians with ties to Hamas to resettle in the United States

Things are changing quickly!!! We must stop all immigration and foreign Aid must be limited to our allies.

HB 1388 PASSED
Subject: Fw: HB 1388 PASSED
IN GOD WE TRUSTHow long will it be before our Commander in Chief's family dons
their robes, Turbans, and Burkas?
What's next before the Muslims take over?
HB 1388 PASSED
You just spent $20,000,000 to move members/supporters of Hamas

a terrorist organization, to the United States ; housing, food,
transportation,the whole enchilada.Whether you are an Obama fan, or not, EVERYONE IN THE U.S. Needs to know....
H.R. 1388 was passed, behind our backs. You may want to
read about it...
It wasn't mentioned on the news... Just went by on the

ticker tape at the bottom of the CNN screen.
Obama funds $20M in tax payer dollars to immigrate Hamas

Refugees to the USA . This is the news
that did not, and will not, make the headlines.

By executive order, President BarackM
Obama has ordered the expenditure of $20.3 million in
"migration assistance" to the Palestinian refugees
and "conflict victims" in Gaza ..
The "presidential determination" (ain't that nice?) which allows
hundreds of thousands of Palestinians with ties to Hamas
to resettle in the United States , was signed and appears
in the Federal Register.
Few on Capitol Hill, or in the media, took note that the order

provides a free ticket complete with housing, transportation and
food allowances to individuals who have displayed their
overwhelming support to the Islamic Resistance Movement
(Hamas) in the parliamentary election of January 2006.
Now we learn that he is allowing thousands of Palestinian

refuges to move to, and live in, the US
at American taxpayer expense.These important,
and insightful, issues are being "lost" in the blinding
bail-outs and "stimulation" packages. Doubtful?

YOU MUST PASS THIS ON... AMERICA NEEDS TO KNOW...
