TEA takes over BISD and dissolves school board……. again
tvc184 replied to tvc184's topic in Local Headlines
Probably 15 years ago I heard Bill O’Reilly make a comment about this. His comment was something like, “Sure it should start at home. Yes there are some parents that do not do a good job. Should we simply abandon the children with bad parents?”. -

This is a fact. My kids stood in line for hot chocolate for most of the 3rd quarter and when they finally made it up there they were out. BISD at it's finest...... -

Halftime Silsbee 26 Humble 27 -
The issue with this proposal--among many others--is that many people in the 60-64 year age range are retired either through choice, or otherwise, and HSA's are currently only available to people working and able to purchase a HDHP. If you can't open an HSA, there's no help. But, you're still stuck with the premiums and deductibles of ACA. Insurance for just my wife and I (both in the stated age range) will be $3409./mo. with a $4400 deductible in 2026. That's $45,000 a year for premiums and deductibles. Only one plan in all of GHA coverage area offers care at Houston Methodist where my wife receives care for her Parkinson's Plus. It's actually a non-profit run by the Harris County Health Dept., and it still costs that much. There are no other options that cover pre-existing conditions, and HM availability. A tax credit of some type would be a better option while the whole system is revamped. If people are on Social Security, it could help reduce income taxes. If people are living on their own savings and investments, it could also help reduce income/capital gain taxes. But, don’t pay the insurance companies directly. You would have to have the credit given off prior year’s income, and allow a specific type savings account the credit could be deposited into tax free for future premiums. Right now, HSA’s can’t be used for premiums. ACA was never about healthcare. It was always a ruse to move towards single payer. Democrats wanted control over our healthcare just like they want control over every other aspect of our lives.

It also has nothing to do with the thread, simply hijacking another thread with an anti Trump post.

posted under Another Trump victory LumRaiderFan Posted November 30 lol, I guess he thinks those polls carry weight. Usually when you dig into them, which some folks never do, turns out they polled 1000 “likely” voters. Polls are useless.

No his problem is that he hasn’t fired enough people. He has to clean house or nothing changes. Our government is grossly oversized and corrupt!

Those were media reports. I can’t take the credit. However, thank you.😊

Newton (74) East Bernard (20)---FINAL
Fast Turtle replied to AggiesAreWe's topic in High School Football
Yes. Wall and Gunter are much better than East Bernard. Either team will play Newton a better game than any other opponent has in the playoffs. However, I just don't see either of those teams beating this Newton squad. Newton is pretty elite for 3AD2 football this season. They stay consistent and keep getting better each week. One more, one more! -

He needs to put the most qualified people in right positions. Start off be removing Patel, Bondi, and that Department of War guy. Address health care, economy, stop falling asleep and stay on-point when addressing the country. Lastly he needs to be more open and really put America first and stop being a busy body in other men’s matters.

TEA takes over BISD and dissolves school board……. again
thetragichippy replied to tvc184's topic in Local Headlines
I did a little research.... There are 1207 ISD's in Texas - in recent history 15 have been took over by the TEA - Beaumont TWICE. The school district is basically blaming the parents, I can't count the number of "it starts at home" comments I read last night. While I agree it starts at home, for me, it is difficult to NOT blame BISD when of the 1207 districts, 1192 OTHER districts have not had to be bailed out. So one of two things are true, Beaumont has horrible parents as a whole that does not care about their kids, or BISD has poor leadership and is not doing what it should to make sure the kids get the proper education that the tax payers are paying for.......I'll go with the latter....... -
I agree with baddog, you can’t seem to respond to a subject, feel like I’m debating my grandkids. Have fun quoting yourself.
