'zero tolerance policy' during Jeep Weekend
baddog replied to thetragichippy's topic in Local Headlines
Really, arrested for traffic violations? I didn’t know that. I just go by the fact that, on a beautiful May weekend, the vendors would rather close their businesses than make tons of money. Like I said, I’m sure there are those who go to the beach to have a good time and not commit felonies, but Crystal Beach probably wishes Jeep weekend would go away. I have no problem with Jeep owners or Jeep weekend, but the past events speak for themselves. -
'zero tolerance policy' during Jeep Weekend
thetragichippy replied to thetragichippy's topic in Local Headlines
It was not targeting the jeepers IMO - it was targeting everyone......and I looked at the arrest mugshots on Galveston County page....NONE of those folks looked like Jeepers,,,,,and they were arresting folks for no seat belts, brake lights out and cracked windshields.....among other more serious crimes -

'zero tolerance policy' during Jeep Weekend
baddog replied to thetragichippy's topic in Local Headlines
I see your point but the Jeep drivers brought this all on themselves. I’m sure there are lots of good people involved in Jeep weekend, but the bad ones have put a black eye on the event. -
There were more than 400 officers used this weekend on the Bolivar Peninsula, not counting EMS, the paddy wagons, etc..... They had check points at both ends of the peninsula, checking every vehicle for any traffic violation. I imagine that is costing Galveston County a pretty good chunk of change. I doubt the revenue from the tickets will put a dent in it. They sure sent a message. I'm a law abiding citizen for the most part. I always have a valid ID, well maintained vehicle and proper insurance. I do speed occasionally, understanding the risk and knowing I may receive a ticket. However, when I go to the beach for relaxation, I don't want to wait in line 1 to 2 hours to basically prove I'm doing nothing wrong....or get a ticket because I didn't realize a license plate light was out...... There were 275 arrest........52 were felony charges, the rest misdemeanors..... I would like to see the number of "warnings" they gave....my guess, not many if any at all. I totally back the blue, always have, but I feel this was an over the top response to trying to fix a problem. [Hidden Content]

Probably already posted, but I don’t care. The hypocrisy of the left is truly unbelievable and always needs to be shown.

Joe Biden Has Been Diagnosed With Prostate Cancer!
OlDawg replied to Reagan's topic in Political Forum
Thanks. It happens. Medical research shows that 80% of men over the age of 80 get some form of prostate cancer. He had a full life and was ready to be with my Mom. We knew it was coming, as he spent his last months living with us, so we were prepared. -

Yes. One of the great ironies in American political history. But, in Jefferson’s time, they were actually alliances that didn’t purposely institute rules to limit other candidates. We haven’t had a really viable 3rd Party candidate in many years because every time one threatens the 2 Parties, they change the rules to make it harder/impossible to have a successful candidacy. Then, the press limits participation on top of that. Instead of like-minded people gathering together for the betterment, it’s used as a system to limit the people’s choice. Just another form of control that makes people believe they have a real impact.

Bravo!! Until you read history and realize that it was Thomas Jefferson, who was the first person to help usher in the two political parties system by creating the Democrat-Republican Party. The Federalists had grouped together to form the Federalist Party and Jefferson wanted a party in opposition. So the guy who didn’t submit to the whole party system was the major player in creating the current two party system and was elected as president as a Democrat-Republican Party candidate. We all understand what he likely meant. People want to feel independent. “Nobody tells me how to vote including a political party!!”. That’s great and mostly true but if a person doesn’t find a bunch of mostly like minded people, he will be stranded alone on an island.

True. But Astros are top 5 AL in both categories while Rangers are top 5 ERA but 13th in hitting.

If a man lives long enough, it’s almost inevitable. My Dad passed at 87 in 2023 from complications due to prostate cancer. -
Pretty even I guess on most things. Their pitching ERA is better than us.
