This should really get your blood boiling. [Hidden Content] Overview Google: The Trump administration announced plans to end a federal subsidy program that kept Medicare Part D prescription drug premiums low. Eliminating the $3.6 billion program after 2026 could raise monthly costs for millions of older Americans. All sides are out for themselves but MAGA has selective outrage. SMH. Sanders is not a Democrat just like MAGA (PPP)is not Republican.

SMH!!

Freaky!

True dat!

3-2 win for Houston. Astros remain 2 games back of Arlington for division lead. Houston has won 7 of last 8.

This guy has a lot of interesting sound bites.. The only current American men’s UFC champion says he has been barred from Sunday’s fight card on the south lawn of the White House because he dared to criticize Donald Trump, Israel and Jeffrey Epstein. On Tuesday night, middleweight champion Sean Strickland wrote on X that he had been informed by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that he had not been cleared to attend the event by the White House. When a fan had earlier asked for specifics on why he had been excluded, Strickland replied: “I made fun of Israel and Epstein.” In a subsequent post on X, he went further: “The only male American champ banned at the White House because I said Trump is owned by [Benjamin Netanyahu]. That’s not public opinion, it’s fact.”

If I may - I politely ask you watch this video and tell me what your initial thoughts are

[Hidden Content] Remember DOGE? Regan, Baddog, do you believe it did anything for the American people? If so, what way?

Coldspring just added Alec Dunhum on the coaching staff. For those who don't know he was the other RB outside of Sherman Gilbert who went to play college ball for TCU... Gotta love what Coach Allen is doing to the coaching staff already.

I have a friend that was in the Marine Corp for 20+ years. He posted this on his Facebook page. Very interesting comments. Here is the post: I fought and lived through two wars, deployed 8 times, and served our nation faithfully for over 23 years, so pardon me if I don’t keep my mouth shut… Please put your political party, your favorite news channel, and the people you have been told to hate aside for a few minutes, and just hear me out. During my Marine Corps career, I served on two small advisor teams as the senior enlisted Marine in charge. The first was in 2007 in Fallujah, Iraq. The second was in 2012 around Now Zad, Afghanistan. In Fallujah, we lived alongside the Iraqi Army. In Afghanistan, we lived alongside the Afghan National Civil Order Police (ANCOP) . We ate with them. We trained with them. We went on missions with them. We fought beside them. We trusted them with our lives because we had no other choice. Our teams were small, and we operated well beyond the immediate reach of American support. If something had happened to us, there were times when our command might not have known for hours, or even days. We were truly alone and unafraid, but we were never invulnerable. At any point, one of those men could have slipped into where we slept and killed us. Do not think that thought did not cross my mind on more nights than I care to admit. But it never happened. That does not mean everything was perfect. It does not mean I trusted every person around me. We were lied to. We were sometimes misled. There were missions when the hair stood up on the back of my neck because I did not know whether we were walking into an enemy ambush, or whether the very people beside us might turn on us. But they never did. Those experiences did not make me naïve about terrorism, radicalism, or the dangers in that part of the world. They taught me something far more important: you cannot judge an entire religion, culture, or people by the actions of their worst members. I saw goodness and deceit. Courage and cowardice. Loyalty and betrayal. Faith and hypocrisy. In other words, I saw the same things that exist in every country, every religion, and every political party, including our own. Fear in a child’s eyes looks the same in a Muslim as a Christian. And before anyone lectures me about Iran, understand something: I have names tattooed on my leg belonging to men who were killed by explosively formed penetrators, the same type of deadly weapon that the United States military documented as being supplied or supported by Iran and Iranian-backed groups in Iraq. We have been fighting proxy wars with Iran for decades. I know what Iranian involvement has cost American service members because I carry part of that cost with me every day. So no, this is not sympathy for the Iranian regime. It is not ignorance of Iran’s history. It is not forgetting the Americans who were killed. It is simply asking: At what point do we say enough is enough? Fifteen of the nineteen 9/11 hijackers were Saudi nationals. That fact does not, by itself, prove that the Saudi government planned or directed the attacks, and the 9/11 Commission did not establish that the Saudi government as an institution or its senior officials funded al-Qaeda. But the fact that fifteen hijackers were Saudi, and the unanswered questions many Americans still have, should at least make us willing to question how selectively our outrage and foreign policy are applied. We bomb Iran for being “two weeks away” from a bomb, but the country that started radicalizing their people with Wahhabism and proved 3/4 of the 9/11 hijackers gets a nuke deal… We spent two decades in Afghanistan because al-Qaeda had been given sanctuary and training space there. Now, the United States is engaged in a military campaign against Iran while also entering into a major civilian nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia. To be accurate, it is not a nuclear weapons agreement, but it is a significant, decades long nuclear partnership, and Americans have every right to examine it closely and demand consistency from their government. So please explain something to me: In what way is the war with Iran part of an America First agenda? How does it lower gas prices? How does it lower grocery prices? How does it make housing, insurance, electricity, or healthcare more affordable? How does it help the working American who is struggling to keep food on the table? How does it help our veterans, our children, our communities, or our economy? How many more American sons and daughters must be placed in harm’s way while politicians give us another carefully rehearsed explanation for why this war is different from every other war? America First cannot mean Americans come last when the bills arrive and the blood is spilled. I truly believe both political parties have learned the same trick: keep Americans furious with one another so we never look up and hold the people in power accountable. Republican against Democrat. Conservative against liberal. Christian against Muslim. Black against white. Native-born against immigrant. Neighbor against neighbor. They keep us fighting horizontally so we never look vertically. Because a united American people who put truth, accountability, country, and conscience ahead of political parties would be a threat to every political machine that depends on our fear and division to remain in power. This is not simply red versus blue anymore. It is truth versus manipulation. Conscience versus blind loyalty. Good versus evil. And please do not tell me that we must accept the lesser of two evils. The lesser of two evils is still evil. It is okay to say your own party is wrong. It is okay to admit that the person you voted for broke their promise. It is okay to oppose something even when your political team supports it. That is not betrayal. That is what citizenship and patriotism are supposed to look like. Stop being yes men for politicians who would never send their own children to fight the wars they so easily begin. Please open your eyes. Please look into your heart. Do not allow a politician, a television personality, an algorithm, or a political party to convince you that your neighbor is your enemy because he votes differently, looks differently, or worships differently. I lived among Muslims. I ate with them. I trained with them. I distrusted some of them. I trusted others with my life. I fought beside them and they fought beside me. That is reality. Not a slogan. Not propaganda. Not something I learned from television. I LIVED IT. At some point, Americans must put our feet down and say: Enough is enough. America First must mean American lives first. American families first. American workers first. American veterans first. American communities first. American economic security first. Not another politician’s ego. Not another political party’s power. Not another foreign government’s agenda. And not another endless war. It is time to stop hating one another. Matthew 22:37–39 “Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. A second likewise is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’” Thoughts on this Marine's point of view?

I agree with whoever said it in the article, it's ok to play the game in the heat, but not practice in it, apparently. That's going to get somebody hurt, IMO. Trying to regulate common sense. And it's unfair to the teams all along the coast, I think. But I need to re-read the article. Teams in 95% humidity on the coast will have a higher wet bulb temp, while teams with 50% humidity will have a lower WB temp. This can get confusing. Team scouts all over Texas will have their note pads, binoculars, and thermometers.

Trump wasn’t President. Biden was and I didn’t vote for Biden. Since you brought it up didn’t Trump say he would end the Ukraine War within 24 hours of being elected? ….well time is ticking, he’s been President for a year and a half. News flash….,there is still an Ukraine War and Trump has been sending money to a war that he said would have never started if he had been president. Smh

I’m trying to find out where you been at. It was in the black basically all day yesterday and at least 2 days last week

Awesome….now make America Affordable Again and stop spending 2 trillion dollars more year than we take in. We’re not the world’s police force!

Nobody likes good news. They live in the negative. It’s easier that way.

That’s a motley crew.

It Won't happen. That's like saying Trump is running in 2028. I would love to see Trump try to run in 2028. At age 85, I say go for it.

You just keep proving my point. Lmao

I’m glad you are “lmao’ing” about Trumpstein’s cover up for the elite pedophile ring Very laughing matter. Typical MAGA

Child Predators remain free. 🥲

Imai has 2 more years guaranteed at 18 million per year. Even if you wanted to move him and some team sees tremendous upside in him, they wouldn't willing tell you that and you aren't moving a guy with a negative WAR and that much guaranteed money without eating a tremendous amount of it. Have to hope he can become a "dude" next year is the likely scenario.

I don't think you can trade him but I do agree we need a different starter. I think we need a pitcher or two and not necessarily a bat. I'll be curious to see what the Astros do come trade deadline.

We'll be previewing each class over the next few weeks Here is Class 1A/2A
