          According to Lumberton celebrity Ken Hairston, PDGA # 100339 (not to be confused with Bangladeshi personality George Harrison), Buddhist monks are walking for peace through Lumberton, apparently on a trek throughout Texas. 

          My question for Ken is, what peace are they walking in order to achieve, and how will walking help them achieve this?

          I understand this is quite the buzz on the Facebook group All About Lumberton, however seemingly I am excluded from this excitement because I am apparently blocked from this site. I wonder why?

          Could it be that All About Lumberton is one of several Facebook groups owned and controlled by Adam C. Brooks, who despite being convicted of a crime and lying on a federal application for a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transvestite, and Queer FM radio station proposed to serve the Beaumont listening area, has been coddled by the Hardin County Republican Party and the City of Lumberton Zoning Commission. Something definitely doesn’t add up. 

          So, is Adam Brooks joining Ken Hairstylist and his gay colleagues with the Hardin County Republican Party and the City of Lumberton Zoning Commission to walk for peace with the monks?

          What exactly is walking for peace supposed to achieve, why are they in Hardin County of all places, and what particular peace are they referring to?

          If they want to achieve peace in Ukraine, they should encourage the United States to stop sending billions of American taxpayer dollars to Hunter Biden’s Ukrainian handlers. 

          If they want to achieve peace in Gaza, they should encourage the Palestinians to walk for peace right out of the Gaza Strip, in the direction of another country as far away from Israel as possible. At present, Emmanuel Macron has indicated France will recognize Palestine, so that seems to be an ideal destination. 

          Neither the Gaza Strip or Ukraine are located in Hardin County.

          In July 1969, the anti-war ballad Give Peace a Chance was released. Recorded a month earlier in Room 1742 at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal, with John Lennon, and Tommy Smothers on acoustic guitar, and more than a dozen journalists and celebrities in attendance. 

          It was composed and produced during John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s bed-in, and when he was asked what he was trying to achieve by staying in bed, he simply repeated, “Just give peace a chance.” This became the title and chorus of the anthem. 

          But the Vietnam War is over, and has been for decades, so the monks are so late they can’t even receive a participation trophy.

          Again, why are the Buddhist monks walking for peace through Hardin County? Only Adam C. Brooks and Christopher Wayne Boone know for sure.
