He played middle school and two years of high school at Barbers Hill. I don't know the whole story, but he's been playing over there for a while near as I can tell.

They’re not after Bolton, unlike your side going after Trump. They just want the files. They need to be sure and check by the Corvette in the garage.

But but

2025 season is finally here. Hopefully the Titans start this thing off with a W.

I just hope no one blames the refs after L's this season or threatens to call the UIL & TASO, ya know, since that's happened before. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Can't stand Lumby football or can't stand Lumby fans?? Just asking cause some folks lump them both together 🤷🏾‍♂️

I like that prediction better, I can't stand the raiders football.

The last time both teams were ranked for this game was 2021. All meetings since then have been won the the visiting team. Last time Newton came to town we lost a shootout 58-54. Thats the most points ever scored against the Mustangs in any game. Neither team is breaking any records this week. Hearing the Eagles have solid run game as usual but can't throw a pass more than 10 yards. I hope my source is wrong. I havn't had a chance to see the Mustangs personally but from what I hear this season can go 2 ways. Defense wins championships. Or the game is won in the trenches. One has to happen before the other. Can't put the cart before the horse.

Now it's OK...... Most ppl would be alarmed by either side doing it...!

Found a post that Livingston vs Woodville scrimmage was moved to Saturday at 10 am. That explains the no post. I think you will see a lot better Woodville team.

Recruited? He’s home grown.

So how did the BH scrimmage go?

I wrote a thousands words total in this thread and not one was "win".

Someone who wants to “win” a scrimmage.😳🙄

Good news for the cowboys Milton looked much better tonight and OL looked a little better. At times the defense did well. I know the Falcons are not as good as LA or Ravens, however it was improvement

This video pops on YouTube shorts for me quite often. Enjoy it every time

I disagree with McCullers pitching well. He walked 5 batters in 4 innings and pitch count was 87. That's not pitching "well". He could not have lasted another inning with that pitch count. Probably would have been blown up had he pitched another inning.

McCullers pitched well why was he pulled? Okert and Ort scare me loud but a good win. Now go P{adres I mean Athletics sorry

Great win. Bats stayed alive. Caratini came through with a clutch double.

I see what you are saying. Possibly I asked a different question. I think MP Materials should review their shareholders. It seems that Shenghe Resources owns stock and is the primary customer. There is so much going on that we don’t jnow about. This is what I found……. Shenghe Resources, a Chinese rare earth company, holds a significant minority stake in MP Materials, the company that owns the Mountain Pass rare earth mine in California. As of July 2025, with the U.S. Department of Defense becoming the largest shareholder, Shenghe's stake will be surpassed. Historically, Shenghe was MP Materials' primary customer, purchasing a large portion of its rare earth concentrate, but MP Materials has ceased shipments to China as of April 2025 and is accelerating its own processing and magnet manufacturing facilities. Shenghe's Shareholding Minority Stake: Shenghe Resources holds a significant minority share of MP Materials, which has been reported as approximately 7.7% to 8%. U.S. Government as Largest Shareholder: In July 2025, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) acquired preferred stock in MP Materials, making it the largest shareholder and surpassing Shenghe's stake. Relationship Evolution Historical Customer Role: Shenghe was a major customer for MP Materials, purchasing the majority of its rare earth concentrate produced at the Mountain Pass mine for processing in China. Shift Away from China: MP Materials ceased shipments to China in April 2025 and is actively building its own separation and manufacturing capabilities, reducing its reliance on Shenghe as a customer. Strategic Context U.S. Rare Earth Strategy: Shenghe's stake has been a point of concern for U.S. policymakers, including Senator Lisa Murkowski, due to its potential influence on a critical rare earth resource. MP's Strategic Build-out: MP Materials is expanding its downstream capabilities, including separating and refining its concentrate and building a magnet manufacturing facility, to reduce dependence on China and its processors

Houston with the 10-7 win. Abreu gets a 4 out save. All four outs via the strikeout.

BTW, here’s the difference in answers on searches pending your personal search history and the engine used. I thought it would be interesting to see the differences since I’ve noticed quite a few using the AI search/compile features in their posts lately. This is the summary from my search on DuckDuckGo—which doesn’t keep a record of your personal searches and compiles using Chat GPT. I used the search criteria ' U.S. Government taking a stake in MP Materials'. (Again, no slam on your post from Google. Just question how the sources Google used warped conservatism/libertarianism and free market principles into an excuse and justification by defining communism into a very broad, abstract idea.) NOTE: I'm a free market, conservative libertarian as far as fiscal/economic policy regardless of administrations. Search Assist The U.S. government's acquisition of a controlling stake in MP Materials, a rare earth mining company, has drawn comparisons to state capitalism and communist practices, particularly due to its significant influence over a critical industry. Critics argue that this move resembles the government control seen in communist states, as it allows for direct intervention in the market. Government Stake in MP Materials The U.S. government's acquisition of a controlling stake in MP Materials, a rare earth mining company, has raised significant concerns and comparisons to state capitalism, particularly in relation to communist principles. Key Aspects of the Acquisition • Nature of the Deal: The Pentagon invested $400 million in preferred stock, convertible to common stock, making it the largest shareholder in MP Materials. This investment is aimed at enhancing domestic production of critical minerals. • Market Influence: By becoming a major stakeholder, the government now has substantial influence over the rare earths market, which is crucial for national security and various industries, including defense and technology. Comparisons to State Capitalism • State Control: Critics argue that this move resembles state capitalism, similar to practices in China, where the government exerts control over key industries. The arrangement allows the government to dictate terms and potentially distort market competition. • Concerns from Experts: Industry experts have expressed worries that this level of government involvement could lead to unfair advantages for MP Materials over competitors, echoing concerns about market manipulation typical of state-backed industries. Conclusion While the U.S. government’s actions are framed as necessary for national security and economic stability, the implications of such a significant stake in a private company have sparked debates about the nature of capitalism in the U.S. and its alignment with more centralized, state-controlled economic models.
