Speaker 1 (00:17):
This is the Uncle Henry Show here on News Radio
seven ten WNTM. Thank you for listening to the Uncle
Henry Show. I do appreciate it. I do. Now, coming
up this half hour, I'm going to get into some
news items from the State of Alabama, local that kind
of stuff. Before I get to those news items, here
(00:39):
is a story from Fox News I wanted to bring up.
This is about a Florida homeowners association a Florida, Yes,
always controversial, a homeowners' associations. A Florida homeowners association has
shelled out almost a quarter of a million dollars to
(01:00):
settle a lawsuit that it filed over what one homeowner
put in their yard. So let's listen together. Let's find
out this cost to the homeowners association almost a quarter
of a million dollars. So let's listen together. What happened
with this homeowners association and somebody put in their yard.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Community Development District in the Villages told Wayne and Bonnie
Anderson a one foot tall cross in their yard violated
community standards.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
One foot tall cross. Now, see this is why maybe
you're a member of a homeowners association and you just
love it and you appreciate it. You feel like your
neighbors need to be policed severely. You don't trust your neighbors,
you don't like your neighbors. You're worried they're going to
put stuff up in their yard that you don't like,
(01:53):
like a cross. But there are some of us that
enjoy freedom and would like to have the freedom of
a cross in our front yard or whatever we want
to put in our front yard. It's the it's that
freedom versus versus the militaristic conformity that there's the balancing
(02:17):
act going on there, all right. So this couple wanted
to put up a one foot cross in their yard,
and the homeowners' association said no.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
What's the rest of this story would have to go?
They said no, and we're fined twenty five dollars a day.
The last I heard was forty four thousand dollars. Anderson's
refused to pay, so the homeowners' association sued them. Now
more than five years later, a court ordered settlement.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
I'm sorry I paused there again. Five years now, think
about this. You move into a neighborhood, you like it,
homeowners' association says, you can't have a one foot tall
cross that is against our community standards. And you refuse
to pay the fine, the fine gets up to forty
four grand. Lawsuits five years. Imagine having to think about
(03:08):
this and deal with this for five years. Five years.
All right, back to the story.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
HOA pays one hundred and seventy three thousand dollars in
court costs and legal fees and seventy grand to the
Andersons and degrees. The cross can stay. We get to
display as is our constitutional and God given right. This
should never have happened. To make sure that doesn't happen.
Wayne Anderson now has a seat on the hoa's board.
(03:38):
Jack Callahan, Fox News.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
All right, well, they won their lawsuit, but the process
can be the punishment sometimes. And even though they get
to keep their cross and they're getting money, they're being
paid money, they're getting they're getting money, and he's going
to be on the homeowner secession. All that it took
fine years the process in the punishment and having to
(04:03):
go out and hire lawyers and all that kind of stuff.
Even though the lawyer fees are now paid for. Still,
just think about the process they went through. I would
have wanted to move to the woods. That's what I
would have wanted to do. I would have said, oh,
you don't like a cross, well, I don't want to
live amongst the devil. I don't want to live here
with the devil. So me and my wife are going
we're going to sell our home and get out of
(04:24):
this dadgum homeowners association. We're gonna go find well, I'm
going to go to the woods and I'm going to
erect gigantic crosses all around the house in five years,
five years of being in the courts over that all right? Anyway,
homeowners' associations. I remember I was a member of a
homeowners association. This was over twenty years ago in Baldwin County,
(04:50):
and the head of the homeowners association wanted to cut
down a tree. There was a big old water oak
close to the entrance of the neighborhood. And the president
of the homeowners' association that I was a member of,
he says, we've got to cut this down. This is
(05:11):
it's a water oak. So it's gonna get there's gonna
a storm is gonna come through and knock it down,
or it's going to not fall a part of its
own accord, and it's going to block one of the
only ways into this neighborhood. We've got we have got
to cut this thing down. We've got to cut it down.
It makes no sense to have this tree that close
(05:33):
to the entrance. It's going to cause us enormous hassles. Well,
the other people on the homeowners association board did not
agree with that guy because they like the tree. It's
a pretty tree. You know how people are about trees.
They love trees. So the rest of the homeowners association
(05:54):
board voted no and told him, sorry, we disagree with you.
We want to keep the tree up, even though you
say it's bad and it's gonna block the road and
all that stuff. So the president of the homeowners association,
the way he reacted when they told him that he
(06:17):
couldn't cut down that tree, he immediately resigned and sold
his house and left. He just yeah, he didn't get
his way. He got out. He just up and left.
By the way, the tree, it's been over twenty years.
Tree is still there. Tree still looks fine. Now. He
(06:40):
may be right. In a few years, who knows, maybe
a storm will come in knock it down and cause promise.
But I don't even know if anybody in that neighborhood.
I left the neighborhood a couple of years after he did.
I might be the only one that remembers this homeowners' associations.
They can be so annoying or one more thing, one
(07:01):
more thing on that specific homeowners association. So after the
guy left and they had a few new people on
that homeowners association board, people started violating the rules just constantly,
all kind of stuff. Just they just violated every kind
of rule you can have in there about stuff in
(07:24):
your front yard, stuff in the driveway, putting up basketball
goals on the drive all this kind of stuff, and
no one ever enforced any rule at all. Once that
guy left, it was opened to people, and then people
just started doing whatever they wanted. So there was really
no point. Ever, I don't know there was ever a
point to have a homeowners association other than maybe to
(07:48):
collect does and get some basic maintenance done of the
entrance of the subdivision and maybe cut some grass here
or there in common areas. And that was about it.
No no rules ever. I don't know that they've ever
I left, as I said, so I don't know. Maybe
they're enforcing the rules now, but they stopped enforcing them.
(08:08):
Then all right, now, oh, I've got I've got some
other news items to get to here on the Uncleander Show.
But I've talked so much. I'm up on a break,
So going to take a time out for traffic, for
whether words from the magnificent sponsors of the Uncle Verra Show,
(08:28):
and then I will return with you, and I hope
I have time to share more than one news item
in the next segment of the Uncle Henry Show. All right,
so let's let's take the break and then come back
with more Uncle Henry's Show here on news Radio seventy
ten WNTM. Take the dead, gum break, take it. Uncle
(09:13):
Henry Show continues here on news radio seven ten WNTM.
News headlines coming up in ten minutes. Before we get
to the news headlines, let me share a news item
or two with you. Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville, you may
remember him. He's decided to run for governor. He's still
a senator though, while he's running for governor of the
(09:34):
state of Alabama, and he wants to impeach one of
these federal judges, Judge Bosburg. At least I think that's
the way you pronounce the guy's name. So let's listen.
I've got this story about Senator Tuberville wanting to impeach
that federal judge. Let's go to WSFATV in Montgomery at
(09:56):
Stepsister Station to Fox ten. They filed this report force
on Senator Tuberville wanting to impeach that federal judge.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Tommy Turberville is calling for the administration suspension of a
chief judge while Congress considers articles of impeachment.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Tuberville alleges that this federal judge abused his authority and
targeted the Trump administration along with sitting Republican senators.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Wsfais while news reporter Emma Ellis has what Tuberville has
to say about the situation.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Senator Tommy Tuberville of Alabama alleges US District Judge James
Boasburg should be impeached for his role in Operation Architic Frost,
a federal investigation into efforts to overturn the twenty twenty
presidential election. That operation ultimately prompted federal charges against President
Donald Trump.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
I don't care with your Democrat Republican. If you're an American,
you have rights in this country, and we do not
need to weaponize their Department of Justice.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Turberville accuses Boasburg of improperly granting gag orders in an
effort to protect to Operation Arctic Frost. He's also concerned that,
as a part of the operation, the FBI targeted his
and other Republican senators cell phone records.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
You're supposed to have some kind of criminal intent, and
I would think that if they would go after a
sitting in United States senator's phone records. I know how
hard it is to get information on anybody, but for
a judge to approve that.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
With John Roberts now see I'm sorry to pause this,
but and I've been following this myself, the Arctic Frost
stuff and how they were looking into the phone records
of all these senators and stuff. But you heard the
senator talk about how as Americans we have rights and
all that kind of stuff. But when it comes to
search and seizure, when it comes to evesdropping on me
(11:47):
as an American, I get the impression that I don't
have those rights anymore. I don't I get now. Of course,
I may be completely and totally wrong, because as you
can tell by a listener, I'm not that well read
or that educated. But I feel like in the post
(12:10):
nine to eleven world in which we live that just
about anything I do online or any phone conversation I
would have, I feel like all of it is up
for being looked at, whether I like it or not.
That the whatever the Constitution says about unreasonable search and seizure,
(12:30):
that that's all out the window. That they just can
listen to us anytime they want to, and often do
for whatever reason. So I don't know, maybe we do
have rights, and maybe I need to start fighting for
them more, but I I just under the impression that
they can spy on us anytime they want to. And
(12:50):
I'm kind of glad. No, I'm not really glad, but
I'm well, maybe I am glad that it's happened and
to senators, so because if it happens to just you
or me, it's another day for them.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Chief Judge of the US Supreme Court responded to Tuberville's
concerns in a rare statement, stating, quote, for more than
two centuries, it's been established that impeachment is not an
appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal
appellate process exists for that purpose in the quote the
resolution to impeach bosbergus.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Yeah, and I'm sorry to interrupt again, but all these
branches of government do have the ability to check each other.
So John Roberts of the Supreme Court wanting it to
go through his his angle with appellate judges and stuff
like that. But there's obviously the constant Chief Roberts was
(13:53):
Chief Justice. Roberts was talking about two hundred years. For
two hundred years we've been using the appellate process. Well,
for some reason, there is a constitutional provision for the
Congress to impeach these judges if they want to, so
let them use the powers granted to them.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Has been referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
In the lst WSFA twelve News.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
The allegations have not slowed Borersburg down. The judge continues
to investigate the Trump administration. He is now resuming a
criminal contempting inquiry into Trump administration officials involving deportation flight.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Okay, all right, well listener, it's a Friday, and I
apologize for the cynicism that is just bubbling up inside
of me any time I hear about federal judges and
Congress and all that. It doesn't nearly matter what the
topic is if Congress and federal judges are involved or
the federal government. I got a lot of cynicism in
there that's bubbling up. And I know it's Friday. You
(14:56):
don't want cynicism on a Friday, especially not a Friday
this time when we've got the City of Mobiles Christmas
tree lighting going on right now, and the magic Christmas
and lights has started up at Bellingrath Gardens in Sims,
the beautiful community of Sims, the City of Sims is
lighting up there Christmas tree tomorrow night. I just need
(15:17):
to take my cynicism and shove it deep down inside
of me. Yes, I'm gonna take my cynicism and shove
it deep down inside of me and just move forward
here with you and say to you, thank you, thank
you listener for listening to the Uncle Henry Show. But
it's time for me to get out of here. So
(15:38):
have a wonderful weekend, as they say in Saarland, have
a good one, as they say in Theodore, Take it
easy all right. Later
