On 10-7-23 3,000 thousand Hamas terrorists invaded Israel. They massecred 1,200 people, most all of them civilians, raped dead women and beheaded Jewish babies, and took 240 hostages. Not a word about all the Democrats supporting these Palestinian TERRORISTS right here in the USA. But you are worried about Trumps sex life. Kinda weird.

Where?

👍.

That there’s not a single thread on the fact that the Republican nominee is on trial for paying off a porn star with whom he had an affair while the future First Lady was carrying said nominee’s child. I remember back when the dirty, no-good Dems sacked Gary Hart over something similar. Same thing with John Edwards and later Anthony Weiner. But y’all keep pretending God is on your side, lol.

I hear what you’re saying, BUT… that hammers the hell out of poor people and the ones with multiple properties don’t eat any more than the poor ones. In fact, you’d basically just be taxing a lot of peoples’ EBT payments. The government can’t get ahead by taxing what they’re already borrowing to give to people. I think well off people should pay more… but the scale as it exists is broken. For the sake of argument, my mom’s house in Groves is valued at $125k. 2/1/1 on a slab. Her tax bill is $850/year. Without exemptions, her bill would be 3200. It’s right on JCAD’s website. The problem is this…. If someone tries to rent out an identical house, they’d expect to get, what… $1200/month? If you take into account that homeowners/windstorm/flood is a minimum of another $2k per year, you’d need $5k a year just to cover the taxes and insurance. That’s four months (1/3 of the year) just to cover those costs, not counting a potential mortgage payment. But then everybody cries about how expensive rents are… you can’t tax the hell out of non-homestead property to make up for gifts given to homeowners in the form of big tax cuts. It just doesn’t work. Ten acres in Lumberton? I’ve got a buddy with 10 acres in Lumberton on HWY 69. Prime property… it’s his retirement plan. Sale it one day and cash in. The CAD decided that it no longer qualifies for a special use valuation (timber) and stripped his “exemption.” His 2023 tax bill jumped from $25 to $22,000…. It’s insane.

I’m curious what happened… they aren’t even in full pads yet.

They’re going to have win almost all remaining games and get finals of tournament to think about an at-large. When LU was in the WAC, Grand Canyon got an at-large after New Mexico St came out of nowhere to win conference tournament. Grand Canyon had a dang good resume that year. It can happen, but resume wise isn’t in their favor.

Vidor filled their position fast, good for them! With who? Lots of vball coaching changes in our area!

Absolutely no reason for that young man to be participating in spring football while being a starter for the baseball team. Makes zero sense.

Never start a different sport until you are finished with the one you are playing. Despite there being a spring football game, your baseball players should play baseball. That is how you lose the chance at playoff wins. So sad for this player.

Nederland’s starting 3rd baseman dislocated his elbow at spring football practice today. Out for Crosby this week and most likely the playoffs. 😡

Bobby BOUCHER ?

TY Dr Ryan for clearing this up.

This woman is a real winner in my book. She can’t get out of her own way. This opinionated sub human is what msm is all about. Gets made a fool and still argues.

Heard that one has been filled

Tax groceries at the grocery store and do away with property taxes, see Louisiana. Property taxes are a way to get screwed by the government.

OMG do you even realize what you just posted? Bidens Federal government is corrupt to the core. The US is now officially a Bananna Republic like a Venesuela. The FBI, DOJ, CIA, IRS, every single goverment agency is so corrupted now, how could any election fraud problem POSSIBLY be "fixed"? It would take these corrupt criminals to come clean and turning themselves in. That will never ever happen. Its just the opposite now, just their strategy has changed. The agenda is multiple cooridinated lawsuits and prosecutions of their political opponent, Trump. Its perfectly timed for maximum damage to him during the election cycle. Even senile Joe was laughing about Trump beeing "a littlet too busy right now" to be on the campaign trail. Putin does the exact same thing, except Putin simply kills his rivals. The democrats have engineered a high tech, highly cooridianted legal lynching of Trump. Less actual bloodshed, but same eventual election result.

Your analogies are always dumb at best, but we’re used to that. Everyone tries to get out of paying if possible. I do it so that maybe they can up yours.

Seniors already get a healthy break on their property tax bill (in addition to their homestead exemption) upon turning 65. They can also defer payment of their taxes… but the bills will still pile up with late fees, etc… they just don’t have to pay for now-it will get paid eventually, though. The “I don’t even have kids in school” argument is a dumb one. How about the “I don’t live on a county road, I shouldn’t pay county road and bridge taxes?” Nobody says “I’ve never had a house fire… I shouldn’t have to pay for an emergency services district, either.” The average cost to educate a student in Texas is running about $10k per year. That amount should need some justification, but that’s a different argument. BUT it would cost a family with three kids $30k a year for education if only the people with kids in school paid for education, and nobody can afford that. The latest round of tax relief focused heavily on property with homestead exemptions and ignored non-exempt properties (think second homes, rent houses, commercial property, etc…) that might win votes, but it hurts a lot of people and businesses. When the burden gets shifted from one group to another, there will be repercussions such as higher rental rates, etc. If you want to affect change, attack spending at large… don’t focus on trying to get out of paying for yourself and shoving the responsibility of paying onto others is what I always preach.

It rhymes with GOURMET
