Pension System Withdrawals Spike After Rawlings Sues. The Dallas Police and Fire Pension System gets an average of 115 withdrawal requests a week. On Monday, the day citizen Mike Rawlings filed a lawsuit against the system, there were 160 withdrawal requests. A pension board meeting or hearing with Judge Tonya Parker later this week could stop the bleed, but for now, this situation is looking grim.
Richard Spencer Spoke at Texas A&M Last Night. The St. Mark’s grad and alt-right leader was met with protests outside the Memorial Student Center. He spoke to a crowd of 400. Some hissed through his speech, some stood with fists raised, and one dressed like clown with a sign saying “he’s the real bozo.” At one point Spencer, who made the news for that “Hail Trump” bit in November, said he was concerned the President-elect would become “just another Republican.” Let’s all just hope Spencer ends up reeeeally hating the Trump presidency.
