Neither is going to happen..... She will not be removed and Trump will still call it a hoax,,,,,,the hoax is not that Epstein was not a pedo...the hoax is that Democrats actually care. Maybe you can find a comment you posted during the Biden admin of how concerned you were for the victims....

Banker here..... I have not and will not freeze my credit for a couple reasons. The main reason is I have Chase and Capital One that sends me a notice anytime my credit is ran or looked at. IF I see something, I can dispute immediately and have it removed from my credit. Also, a social alone is really not enough to get past most security features - you would need to match with address, DOB, etc.... Lastly, when applying for a loan, if credit is frozen, you can add a minimum 24-48 hours to get approved.

Dad worked as a draftsman for Bethlehem Steel. Mom was a stay at home…..most women were back then. One income could purchase a small 3 BR and a family vehicle. If we ate out, it was usually on Sunday at the Picadilly downtown Beaumont or Felix’s mexican restaurant on Calder. Just to give Mom a break, Dad would treat us to Burger Chef on 11th street or maybe Price’s burgers on Calder. I was raised on hamburger steak or pintos with rice and gravy. If I was rich, I would still eat pintos with rice and cornbread. Some things are just that good. Not sure what class I’m in. Working class would fit. Lol Hippy, you’re absolutely right about Trump and the Epstein files. I really see no need to try and elaborate on it. This thread is proog enough they are simply after Trump. They care about no one else.

Here is my take. I'm middle/upper, closer to middle class even though I have never felt like it. Within reason, I buy what I want, when I want, and manage to contribute to 401K and still have money to put in accessible savings. FYI, I bring my lunch to work daily and do not eat out often. I think we are spoiled as a country. I grew up never wanting for nothing. We did not eat out every night, my Mom cooked every day, We also didn't eat steak, it was mostly rice and gravy (round steak-cheap), chicken and pork chops....all cheap. I was blessed that my father shrimped on the weekends, so after he paid for his fuel selling shrimp, we got the extra. I actually got tired of shrimp and crabs.....which I would of thought was impossible. While prices are higher, Pork chops and chicken are still cheap enough, along with beans and rice, you can feed a family very reasonably. The problem is, we have been brain washed that everyone is equal and that is simply not true. A perfect example is years ago when I was single, I hung out with a Doctor and attorney who were also single.....After a couple months of living their lifestyle, looking at my bank account, we were NOT equal.....I could not afford to do what they did. A very expensive lesson in economics...not everyone us equal. As far as the Epstein files, only a very small percent of people care anymore, and majority are Trump haters hoping there is something that will make him look bad. I am 100% convinced that Biden admin would of added that to all the other tings they accused him of during the Biden term. The victims have stated they never seen Trump do anything inappropriate and he never went to Island. So, we can keep talking about it, but it will not change anything - Trump is still a powerhouse politically....

Grew up poor as the dirt on the farm I grew up on. My folks' most used answer was, "We'll see." Obviously, I grew up to learn that was a nice way of saying NO. I've shopped at Aldi for years, and use every coupon--digital or otherwise--I can find anywhere else. On the rare occasions we eat out, it's at a place where they've emailed us a deal, or they have some type discount advertised. I guess it's ingrained in me. Not a bad lesson to have been taught. Used to joke I was Dave Ramsey before he became famous. lol

Links to the Credit Agencies included below: What To Know About Credit Freezes Freezing your credit can help stop identity theft. When a credit freeze is in place, nobody can open a new credit account in your name. There’s no cost to place or lift a credit freeze, and it doesn’t affect your credit score. You don’t have to wait for your Social Security number or other information to be exposed in a data breach or misused by an identity thief to get a credit freeze. Anyone can do it, any time.

You again dodged my Obama question. Are you absolutely sure those 3 million illegals received due process? Back then, Obama had cooperation from states to deport illegal aliens. Do you see that you live without principles? You’re a “flavor of the week” type. Why didn’t you complain back then?

Whatever. Everyone on US soil is entitled to due process

The dude in Buda that attacked a female protester.

Not quite. Illegal immigrants have SOME due process rights before an Immigration Court judge. Immigration Court judges are part of the DOJ. Full due process rights that a citizen receives in the Judicial Branch are considered on an individual case basis, and depend on the specific circumstances.

I agree. Really haven't been challenged since December. But there is another thing that concerns me with this Orangefield team and what could derail them. It's some of the players attitudes and behaviors on the court (and in some cases off the court). A few of the players have had to miss games or half games due to discipline being it on or off the court incidents. That has to get better. In the playoffs, that can be a deciding factor if a player or two is ejected or has to miss a game or half a game. That cannot happen. I will say it's better than the season before when OF led the area in technical fouls (that info came from the local officiating chapter). This team has the talent and ability to make it to SA as long as they don't get in their own way.

He is not giving anything to charity. So , now you all are ok with your tax dollars helping the poor and downtrodden?

100000% agree. College sports that I love is going away very quickly. As for my Aggies, they had plenty of chances to win last night. Sent Bama to the FT line way too often. I told myself if we can go 1-1 this week vs. Alabama and Florida, I would be happy. I also won't be too disappointed if we go 0-2.

Are you serious?

He was reporting on the incident which is his Constitutional right. He was not the ring leader. Trump is mad because Lemon said some unflattering things about him, which is ridiculous

A long time moderator here (bullets13) and one of our best broadcasters (Aaron Ward) that sees lots of games.

Did Obama give 3 million due process? I’m sure you double checked him. You won’t respond.

No. ICE gets attacked on a daily basis. Are you ok with that? You won’t respond.

The Constitution says that everyone on US soil has a right to due process.

He attacked a girl. Are you ok with that?

This is almost assuredly the most talented team Orangefield has had, led by easily the best player I’ve seen in the 30 years I’ve followed them. Also very happy for a guy who has been one of the best coaches in SETX for years in Whitmire. The one thing that worries me for the playoffs is not having really been challenged since district began (other than at EC sort of). Hoping their depth and experience at the varsity level more than makes up with something they had no control over.

1-1 to start the stetch. Winning very comfortably at UGA and losing a nail biter at Bama wasn’t a horrible result thus far. If this has been discussed my apologies. But what the heck are we doing now NCAA. You guys know I’m pretty much always pro players but now we are letting guys who have played professionally, IN THE NBA G LEAGUE no less, come back and play collegiately again??? Bediako being granted additional eligibility to play for Bama is the most ludicrous thing I’ve seen in college sports. The reason I’ve always preferred college sports is dying a very swift death.

Understood your point, it is politics! Keep an eye on the whistleblower!

I didn’t post this as a political statement. I posted it to remind everyone how important it is to consider ‘freezing’ your credit at the 3 major agencies. It’s free, easy, and only takes about 15 minutes to complete. About 5 minutes each agency. You can always easily unfreeze for a single purchase, or a designated time period, and then have it automatically refreeze. No one can create an account under your name while frozen. I did this for my wife and I after the massive DoD data leak a few years back. I was glad I had done it when AT&T had their major leak here recently. Since then, my university information has been leaked, and some of my health information among others. It’s just a little peace of mind that’s free, easy, and can be done while drinking a cup of coffee. It’s literally that quick.

Really! Lol
