All Activity

Don't get me wrong. As a former Navy Diver who was directly involved in multiple activities supporting our SF's--among other hazardous duties--I'm all for an end to any conflict. But, just like many or most serving in this effort, I never wanted to leave any mission incomplete. This appears incomplete. I will also reiterate the impersonal nature of conflict nowadays with AI and drones cheapens human life, and makes it too easy for leaders to enter into deadly actions. If they believe minimal casualties will occur because of tech, it's way too easy to pull the trigger. I subscribe to ShipwreckedCrew. He should stick to legal opinions. That's where his experience lies.

Pres. Trump declared a cease fire for 2 weeks on the condition that Iran open the Strait. It looks like in less than 24 hour Iran has not met the condition and it did not honor the ceasefire yesterday when it launched missile and drone attacks around the Middle East. Pres. Trump has them back in a condition of not knowing when or what he might opt to do next because the two week window is now inoperative whether they realize it or not. US, Israel and the Gulf States are collecting signals and human intelligence that will inform what needs to be done next. It's comical how little the press seems to learn by simply watching similar sequences of events unfold over time. -ShipwreckedCrew - on X

I believe he's on day 40 of 60. You don't get a restart. If there is a 2 week ceasefire, that puts it at day 54. The withdrawal period means no offensive, kinetic action can take place. Also, he couldn't support Israel in any meaningful way--other than intel--without authorization. Basically, he's saying he's done. Now, he's just trying to make a deal. But, he's left himself with no cards. Restarting isn't going to be a go, and the regime still has control.

There is a 30 day withdrawal period if congress does not approve. So, he could drag this out 90 days. He could also say - ok - and let Israel take over and support them. Personally I think he wants this done and over so he can claim victory and work on Mid-Terms. If Democrats get a good majority in house, we are going to have a repeat of the 2016 impeachment circus

Ya’ll blamed him for it going up. So don’t be a hypocrite!

ummm… Hormuz was open and devoid of threats or tolls until we hopped on Iraq.

Not without an Authorization--which won't be coming. POTUS only had 60 days. If ALL nuclear material is recovered, IAEA is allowed full access forever, and verification is a condition, that would be an improvement. But, anyone that trusts the regime without constant monitoring is twice the fool.

If you know how everything looks and is shaping up please post here for others to see. No matter the division. Please add if they are going D1 or D2 as of right now. District 18 1. Groesbeck D1 2. Buffalo D2 3. Teague D2 4. Fairfield D1 5. Elkhart 6. Westwood/Mexia Alot for this district comes down to Elkhart and what they can do to make that final spot. District 19 1. Franklin D2 9-0 2. Little River Academy D1 7-2 3. Rockdale D1 4-3 4. Thrall D2 3-4 5. Rogers 3-4 6. Cameron 2-7 7. Lexington 0-7 This district has a ton of shuffling that could happen with places 3,4, and 5. Seeding will depend on which teams make the playoffs with Rockdale being bigger then both Thrall and Rogers.

So he's failed - war is over and everyone's coming home?

I still believe we don't know what we don't know. If anyone was expecting Iranian leadership to come out waiving a white flag, they were very wrong. We can easily go back to bombing them into a crater. That was never the goal. The main goal past all the other noise was for Iran not to have a nuclear weapon. Trump would rather a peace deal. Our Government is not telling us all the details and they shouldn't. As far as the bombing, all they have is the equivalent of the Pony Express as far as communication. It may take a few days to get the cease fire information to the front line.

I agree I would say they were about even.

I agree in no way would we know the outcome but Im sure 99% would say it would be a great game. In no way would it have been a blow out.

FACTS

Silsbee OL will be mostly seniors. I think Silsbee run game will be pretty darn good from the kids coming back. Silsbee should have a few WRs returning as well. The defense is my only concern.

This is a mistake. If mission objectives weren't accomplished--which I fail to see how they have been at this point--the 2 week ceasefire will mean POTUS 60 days will run out. An authorization for extended military action of any kind won't be authorized. The Administration has decided polling is more important than completing the mission. Typical. This will go down as another "Mission half accomplished with a lot of wasted money, and some very valuable lives." Shame. If this was going to be the outcome, nothing should have ever been started. Whoever believed an air campaign alone could accomplish the mission of securing/destroying all nuclear material, removing an oppressive, terrorist regime, and making Hormuz an open international waterway devoid of threats against shipping were fools from the start. I don't blame our military. They developed plans per direction, and carried them out with efficiency. I just get tired of weak-kneed politicians starting something they're not willing to finish. There's a reason war is supposed to be difficult to start. I'm afraid all this remote warfare is making things way too easy.

I think the only places you're seeing roster issues is at smaller schools. Baseball is a hard sport and some would rather just go run track or play golf than struggle on JV at a 1A-3A level.

Well now, us MAGAs sure are stupid. Look at the crude oil price today. I mean it’s all the dems are worried about anyway. It doesn’t matter that Trump is attempting to negotiate with Iran and possibly bring peace to the ME. All that matters is your indignation and your own cost for fueling your vehicle.

I understand your point with the sub varsity issues & have seen it the last 30 years, always been a nitemare. If some Sub Varsity level guys don't make varsity a majority just play on a select team, also. Don' have to deal with some high school coaching bs or politics😎 Baseball is the hardest sport to be skilled at physically & mentally & even the top guys at all levels deal with 70% plus failure at the plate. 13 is the main age players figure out if baseball is for them or not & stop playing the game right before high school. With that said i have not seen a major decline in varsity level at the 4A, 5A & 6A level or college. I have been at juco teams tryouts several times with 100 to 120 players trying to make a 40 man roster.

Provide examples of those rosters.

Sounds like the old saying “ my daddy can whip your daddy”

No, it was Taco Day. He gave in to Iran's 10-point demands. Something in those demands made him take a serious look? I don't believe that at all. Too much theatrical posture throughout the weekend came out of Trumps pie hole. of April 2026, the Trump administration proposed a 15-point ceasefire plan to Iran aimed at ending the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, delivered via Pakistan. The proposal, largely seen as a "maximum pressure" strategy, included demands for dismantling major nuclear sites, ending enrichment, curbing missile capabilities, and stopping support for regional proxies in exchange for lifting sanctions. Key components of the reported 15-point proposal by Trump include: Nuclear Restrictions: Iran must halt all uranium enrichment, destroy nuclear facilities (Natanz, Fordow), and turn over all enriched material to the IAEA. Military & Proxy Reductions: Limits on the range and quantity of Iran's ballistic missiles, alongside a full stop to support for regional armed groups. Regional Security: Reopening the Strait of Hormuz for shipping and ending strikes on regional energy infrastructure. Sanctions Relief: The U.S. offered to remove nuclear-related sanctions and allow for the potential reconstruction of Iranian infrastructure. Surveillance: Enhanced, intrusive IAEA monitoring of Iran's remaining nuclear infrastructure. The plan was rejected by Iran as "illogical" and "extremely ambitious," with Iranian officials describing the demands as excessive and a violation of sovereignty. Despite the public rejection, negotiations continued, with reports of an agreed temporary ceasefire to allow for discussions.

Thanking him for putting us in a position he created? No new wars? All for a regime change that never occurred. A younger version of the older regime. 🌊🌊🌊

As far as I know they have. Shepherd to my knowledge used to have 2 high schools before merging into one.
