  1. Past hour
  2. Thank you, Bullets. It’s a hard road, but I have some good friends and a couple of boys who will help me get on.
  3. They’re fleeing Protestant churches faster.
  4. The Supreme Court has never ruled on birthright citizenship for people illegally in the country. People who support birthright citizenship almost always point to Wong Kim Ark as the defining case demanding it. After reading Ark (a long time ago), that doesn’t seem to be the conclusion that the Supreme Court decided. In Elk v. Wilkins 14 years after the Fourteenth Amendment the Supreme Court ruled that a Native American born on US soil in what is now called the lower 48 contiguous states, was not an American at birth. Why? Because he owed allegiance to a sovereign Indian nation, the Winnebago. In owing allegiance to a foreign nation, in this case on US soil, did but fit the meaning in the Fourteenth Amendment of being subject to the jurisdiction thereof. Was Elk subject to US laws? Absolutely. If new committed theft, murder, not paying taxes, etc., he was subject to American laws. The Supreme Court decided that didn’t fit the meaning of being subject to the jurisdiction of the US. Along came Wong Kim Ark not long afterwards. Ark was born in the US to parents were subject to the Emperor of China. Like Elk, Ark owed allegiance to a foreign nation. So what was different? Wong Kim Ark’s parents were here legally and had submitted to US jurisdiction by being granted permanent residency and by running a business with the consent of this nation and the state. Again, Wong Kim Ark’s parents were given lawful permanent residence in this country before he was born. That was sufficient for being subject to the jurisdiction of the US. But let’s not take my word for it. Let’s see what the Supreme Court said in their concluding statement in the case making Wong Kim Ark a citizen, …….who, at the time of his birth, are subjects of the Emperor of China, but have a permanent domicil and residence in the United States, and are there carrying on business, and are not employed in any diplomatic or official capacity under the Emperor of China, becomes at the time of his birth a citizen of the United States. For the reasons above stated, this court is of opinion that the question must be answered in the affirmative. Order affirmed Note that the Supreme Court makes notice that the family are subjects to a foreign jurisdiction, the Emperor of China… BUT have a permanent domicil and residence in the United States, again, their quote. is that the same as illegal entry into this country, as many people claim? If the Supreme Court intended for every person born on US soil to be citizens, why wasn’t that their decision? Why did the Supreme Court bring up the family being subject to the Emperor of China but it changed because they were given a permanent residence in the US? Hmmmm…. Because they thought it mattered perhaps? This was a precedent setting case and the Supreme Court was well aware of it. TheIr final statement could have simply been, “any person born on US soil is a citizen”. Nope, the Supreme Court worded the decision how it was asked. Was Wong Kim Ark a citizen? Yes as his family was given permanent residency under US law. In my opinion the Supreme Court has not ruled on people in this country unlawfully. In fact in the case of Elk, he was in this country lawfully and was still denied citizenship at birth. What in Wong Kim Ark overturned that? In my opinion, nothing. So we will finally have a ruling on birthright citizenship. Like I have already said in this forum, I feel like the Supreme Court will say that birthright citizenship is constitutional and that will put that issue away. Looking at Supreme Court precedent, it doesn’t appear to be so definitive as some people claim.
  5. Not really worried. Even if it happens, it’s no surprise. All the dems will do is make government stagnant. That’s leadership? That’s what they were voted to do? Really? That’s it? Again, no policy for Americans. More fraud and thievery. Good call.
  6. It doesn’t matter, we’re not voting our way out of this mess. This country is ran by lobbyists and special interest. Each politician goes to the highest bidder to stay in office that goes for Republican and Democrat. It will eventually implode at this pace from spending.
  7. Oh no. The dreaded impeachment.

  9. If you had crappy numbers previously, it would make this “record breaking”. What did the protests accomplish?
  10. No worries… voter ID is where you have to provide a photo id when you turn up to vote. A great idea in my opinion. Proof of citizenship is different. It’s where you have to prove your citizenship in order to register to vote. As a guy, you’d need a birth certificate and your ID, and the names have to match. You can use a passport instead of the birth certificate. As a female whose name on their ID doesn’t match the one on their birth certificate or passport, you’d have to document why… certified copy of your marriage license, possibly divorces, etc…. Certified copies from the bureau of vital statistics, county clerk and/or district clerk. Getting a birth certificate isn’t a big deal if you live in the state where you were born, it’s just time off from work, a trip to the courthouse, and a few bucks. Voter ID means you have to prove that you’re who you say you are on voting day. Proof of Citizenship means you have to prove when/where you were born, how/why your name may have changed along the way, and/or how you became a naturalized American citizen. Here’s the editorial part from me: The problem is that 11.3 million Texans voted in 2024. The republicans investigated a found 33 instances where non-citizens possibly voted, and they’re investigating. I’m not a wealthy person, but I’m not going to sweat over $33 dollars that I lost. If I had 11.3 million in the bank, why would I be losing my mind over a missing $33? This whole exercise makes no sense… in my mind, it’s not about voting integrity, it’s about making it harder for some groups of people who don’t typically support Trump (women and poor people) to vote.
  11. Yes good win and you are correct that is 2 games in a row where Abreu has had bad outings
  12. Today
  13. Yes they played well today
  14. Record Turnout: Organizers reported over 8 million participants, exceeding the previous October 2025 turnout for no baby 👶 👑 rally. Midterms are 7 months away and the MAGA faithful should be very concerned of the 🌊🌊🌊.
  15. I am not bothered in the least. Trump started saying stupid crap in 2016 when he announced that he was running for president. It’s been 10 years and he hasn’t stopped. So what? He is a school yard bully. He’s the guy that if you have done something good, he has done it twice and did it better than you buddy times. Do you lose sleep over that? I have absolutely despised some people politically and don’t like hearing about their deaths. As an example I did not like Supreme Court Justice RBG. When she passed away I did but cheer as some people. I would rather she resigned from the Court when she found out that she had a terminal condition and lived out her last couple of years in peace. She didn’t but I didn’t cheer her death either publicly or privately. Others did but it is no different than when Charlie Kirk was assassinated or Rush Limbaugh died. Such stupid public behavior is not limited to one side if the aisle and in my opinion it is far more prevalent from the left. Far more…. Is it presidential? Not in the least. Since when has Trump been presidential? I want the border closed. I want to have a strong military. I want the government to be aggressive deporting illegal aliens. I want the federal government to stop with trying to disarm America. I don’t want men showering with women in school or college sports. I don’t want men playing in women’s sports leagues. I want essential services from the federal government like the TSA and HLS opened up and pay those critical workers while the parties argue over non-essential issues. None of that even closely would happen had Trump lost the election. The Democrats are obsessed with Trump’s demeanor while ignoring virtually everything else. That’s why Trump won the last election. NEWSFLASH: Trump can’t run again! The left is still obsessed with his words. In 2 years and 10 months at the most, Trump is gone from politics and for better or worse, we will all move on. Ten years after he announced his bid for the presidency, the left seems stunned that Trump has made a crude statement. 🤣🤣🤣 The often calls of the Trump cult are equally hilarious. The only true cult is the other side of the aisle who hangs on a lame duck president’s latest comment which is almost certainly made to enrage them. It works!!! But again, I couldn’t care any less about Trump’s crude comment. I would never make such a statement and I don’t support it. I do care completely about the political issues that I posted and others. So keep letting Trump live rent free in your head. I am sure that new appreciated it! 😂😂😂
  16. Nice 9-7 win. Abreau almost blew it. King comes in Ks 2 to seal New season 158 more. Split is better than a seeep. Go Astros
  17. I would assume, maybe incorrectly, that one cannot possess a valid ID without showing proof of citizenship in order to get said valid ID. What is the difference?
  18. Lamar with a 9-0 win today. Nice day at the ball park with clear skies and a light wind blowing in from center. Durbin and Sparks went deep and Tab Tracy had a multi-hit day. Three pitchers combined for the shut out and gave up a total of 4 hits. Overall good day and sit tied with Northwestern at 10-5 at the "midpoint" of conference play. At TCU on Tuesday and then host ranked Oregon State starting on Thursday.
  19. Record breaking number of people showed up for The King parade. Midterms are really looking like 🌊🌊🌊
  20. Ok… just briefly describe the difference between requiring voter ID vs requiring proof of citizenship… in the manner that the SAVE Act would require. Because I bet you don’t know the difference.
  21. [Hidden Content] kind of a wild one
  22. Three weeks into district season Team Silsbee 4-0 Bridge City 5-1 Vidor 5-1 LCM 2-2 Lumberton 2-4 WOS 0-4 Jasper 0-6 Big games coming up 3/31-4/3 Sisbee v Bridge City Vidor v WOS LCM v Lumberton Jasper at Sealy
  23. Those fields look beautiful with that turf. Hope for the best for OF!
  24. Shows how stupid they are. Or, they are for illegal aliens being allowed to vote. Pretty sure it’s both.
  25. From what I’ve read they believe it’s voter suppression. Lol
  26. What you saw was not someone's conspiracy theory. Grok is X's AI program. You ask for the info you need and in seconds it populates the answer. Throughout you'll see where it got the certain bits of info from. So, go back and read it. Gen. Flynn, just like Roger Stone, was set up to try and make him turn on Trump. When he didn't, they prosecuted him. Again, just like Roger Stone.
  27. Yep
