Lol... 90 more days

Out of area: Euless Trinity visits North Crowley Thursday on ESPN @700 pm

Just watched a couple videos of "Meet the Pirates." Does Vidor not have a freshman team this year?

That would be me.

Pretty sure he was joking about the "redshirt statement."

Oh, OK, so you are disputing Rep. Babin's Homicide statistics that Washington D.C. has 4X or 5X more murders than 3rd world capitals. He just made it all up. Got it.

Almost 40% of U.S. homeowners own their home outright as of 2024. We’re one of them. I’ve joked it will take a nuclear bomb to get me to move. Hard to go back to having a payment of any size once you’re used to having none. Ours has been paid off for almost 20 years. I’d have no clue what to do with a house note. I’ve read that many are selling (when they do) and taking the cash to buy another smaller home. No new mortgage.

Well, if it didn’t happen to me, it must be false. 🤣🤣🤣 That’s the Ostrich Effect.

Gotcha. I was thinking along a different track. Generally speaking, I’m not a tariff fan either way. But, in the economic/political scheme of things (as far as exerting influence beneficial to U.S. policy) tariffs are actually an easier and more adaptable measure than sanctions. They can exact a price on the issuer (U.S. in this case), but, so can sanctions & sanctions are much harder to enact, enforce and/or modify. Tariffs are a relatively straight forward economic and political tool with flexibility. I would prefer tariffs not be used for knee-jerk personal issues. However, some—like Brazil at 50%—supposedly started as a personal issue, and now is helping our big tech firms. Will it hurt U.S. coffee drinkers some? Probably. But, not THAT much. Our cup of Joe may go up a nickel or two. But, Big Tech—a major driver of our economy as a whole—will benefit greatly. So, you have to view them all through an economic lens, and that lens is different depending on where you’re looking through it. Economic measures of any means are preferable to military conflict if influence is needed to affect a political goal for the good of the nation. I’m not a ‘war/conflict is good for the economy’ person. I’ve been involved in my past. Avoid it at almost any cost. Hopefully, that answers your question better. @UT alum

He just pretends like Washing DC is not violent because he's been there over 12 times in the last 25 years and felt safe.......ignoring actual crime data that is what TDS will do to you

The numbers are the numbers......Unless you're trying to dispute the numbers on practically every crime page I've gone to Beaumont and live in Port Arthur.....I've never been assaulted or obviously killed...but that does not mean the violent crime rate in Beaumont is not 278% above the national average in violent crime.

Think I'll check out WO-S at Lumberton Thursday and Hardin-Jefferson at Kountze Friday. All within 15 miles from my house. lol

I think he's talking about punishing countries with tariffs for going against America's interest. @UT alum

Specifically what? Right now, they’re going into the general fund. You need to give me more specifics.

Will try to make next week scrimmage vs. Crockett to see what we have. This may be the smallest (size wise) we have ever fielded due to pics I've seen of the team already with our watermelon scrimmage and Meet the Trojans this past weekend.

I am interested in your thoughts on Trump using import taxes for non-economic reasons

Stunt?

I’ve been there a dozen or so times over the last 25 years and never felt unsafe anytime anywhere. And I go off the beaten track when I travel. To call in the national guard is a stunt to make Trump either feel or look like a strongman. Again, I pity the fool.

Do you want our nations Capital to continue to be a violent, out of control, blue h#llhole? CAPITAL HOMACIDE RATES (PER 100k) LIMA 7, HAVANA 4, NAIROBI 5, BRASILIA 13, LAGOS 15, BOGOTA 11, MEXICO CITY 8, ADDIS ABABA 6. WASHINGTON D.C. 41. These homicide numbers courtesy of Rep. Brian Babin.

I went and checked out their X account and they have the LC scrimmage as well. They must not have done spring practice. I added it to the list. Thanks

This was via United Timberwovles FB page. LC then Channelview. 1st game against Bellaire of Houston

He wants the US Capitol safe....... and fun fact, he is using the laws and the constitution to take care of it.....you know, Democracy stuff..... In 2024, Washington D.C. had a homicide rate of 27.3 per 100,000 residents, which is significantly higher than many other major cities in the US. The homicide rate in D.C. was nearly six times higher than in New York City. While violent crime has decreased by 26% this year, and the city has seen a reduction in overall crime, the homicide rate still remains a concern. The city's crime rate is higher than that of other major cities like Chicago and Atlanta.

I sold my house right before the rates went up to the current level and moved into my childhood home. The plan was to build, but now thinking I may buy and existing home that needs to be remolded. I'm in no hurry because my current home is paid for. The problem is not a lot of houses on the market because people don't want to sell their homes and give up that 3% interest rate to jump on a 7% rate on a larger home. When the rates get to 5%, the market will be flooded with houses folks been wanting to sell for 5 years but was holding off for rate. That should force down home prices too.

Did United not do spring practice? According to the schedule on the school website, they are playing just one scrimmage. [Hidden Content]

Trump is a lying liar. He’ll have his little dictatorship now. I pity the fool who believes anything that man says.
