DCT reacted to a post in a topic: Trump Effect
-
This is from an AI search of what Trump referred to at the UN speech. During this time I knew something was going on. These people were well dressed, had water and other stuff. I knew they just didn't walk thousands of miles by the look of some of them. Some were pushing a baby stroller. There were 24 NGO's involved. I did hear the snake Soros was involved. Is this what the UN was created for? Absolutely not! UN budgeted $372 million in cash assistance to support an estimated 624,000 migrants journeying into the United States." (Note: The figure is $372 million, not $374 million as stated in the query; this may be a minor rounding or transcription error.)This amount stems from the UN's publicly available 2024 "Regional Refugee and Migrant Response Plan" (RMRP) for Latin America and the Caribbean, a humanitarian initiative coordinated by agencies like the UNHCR, IOM, and others to aid approximately 3 million refugees and migrants across 17 countries in the region. The $372 million is specifically earmarked for "Cash and Voucher Assistance (CVA)" and "Multipurpose Cash Assistance (MCA)"—distributed via debit cards, envelopes, bank transfers, or mobile payments—to help cover basic needs like food, transportation, shelter, health care, and legal aid for 624,000 people identified as "in-transit" migrants (many of whom are heading northward toward the U.S. border).Key Details on the Funding Total Regional Budget: $1.59 billion overall for the plan, with a growing portion supporting onward movement toward the U.S. Breakdown of Related Allocations (beyond the $372 million cash aid): Rent and Temporary Shelter: $122 million 473,000 people Housing support in countries like Colombia, Ecuador, and Mexico. Humanitarian Transportation: $25.8 million 129,000 people Aid for border crossings and travel, including $27.5 million in Colombia alone for 161,000 travelers. Broader Cash Expansion: $184 million 1.2 million people Includes multi-purpose cash for vulnerable groups, such as those facing gender-based violence. These funds are delivered through 24 NGO partners in countries like Colombia (95,000 recipients), Ecuador, Mexico (59,000 recipients), Brazil, and Panama. The plan explicitly supports access to asylum processes, regularization, and socio-economic integration, including for those in "irregular situations" (e.g., undocumented migrants). While the assistance indirectly facilitates migration by covering transit costs, the UN frames it as lifesaving humanitarian aid amid crises like Venezuela's collapse, which has displaced millions. Critics, including Trump and some U.S. lawmakers, argue this effectively subsidizes illegal border crossings using U.S. taxpayer dollars (as the U.S. contributes about 22% of the UN's budget). For instance, Rep. Lance Gooden reintroduced legislation in March 2025 to block U.S. funds from supporting such UN programs.

Glad to see them healing up and hopefully they can help the Astros next season IMO they better find a GM. This one did little during the off season to bring in quality players. They started the season with very few decent pitchers and finished the season that way and they simply couldn’t hit with RISP They simply played bad after the all star break Absolutely no excuses about injuries, they happen to every team and don’t bother me with stats because it is about which teams win more games
-
Detroit and Houston are competing to see who can lose the most games this week and still make the playoffs.
-
I hope he does and stays healthy because the backup runs like he is on the JV team

Luis Garcia will have some sort of surgery and miss all of 2026. Also, Hader still isn’t throwing but imaging shows the shoulder is healing. Alvarez is working out in the weight room but not running yet
-
Actually #10 for Nederland may have a pretty big game this week vs Splendora, and score a few more than once per half.

The new copycat crime.

I’m sure Abseck knows, my comment was for DCTF. We know y’all will be ready as will the Eagles. I think for either team to win they will have to control the LOS. BH will have to slow down your RB and Lufkin will have to lock down the secondary to limit the BH passing game. It’s going to be a good one Guaranteed! Morton just makes us more dynamic, with him and Trip running routes you still have to account for Bonnet and Poole it won’t be easy.

Some teams post their stats on MaxPreps but not all teams.

Been a while since I have been in press box at BH. I know they have sodas and water but not certain on the food. I want to say the last time I was there they had Subway platters.

Is there anywhere on the internet i can view team and player stats, FOR FREE???

Man this could decide the district champ...the loser will settle for a tie at best. I wanna go with LP, but BH is TOUGH at home. i like aggiearewe score. If LP defense is lacking and i mean that respectfully, it's gonna be Thanksgiving cause he's gonna carve them up like turkey and trust and believe, thats the game we might fall apart. However, this is about this game.
-
look at you lol do you perks up there? cokes, hotdogs, etc?
-
if they get out to a slow start...it could be interesting. for years, even with kenny ray, they wanna be cute and try things they are not good at...passing!!!(mius the years/seasons we were actually good at it). how about to start the game off punishing them with the run???? so far NOBODY has stopped or even slowed them down. if we go up 21-0, then ok lets air it out, but not at 0-0 or 7-0!! for some reason, i feel BU has two games circled us and brook. with a confident attitude they could pull the upset, especially going into the game THINKING it's BU we got it and its easy.
-
wondering if Memorial gonna be in D2... with kids moving into the PNG and Nederland districts, it's possible.
-
Y’all should be good to go. Glad you’re posting about the Cats here.
-
Running back?
-
I'd worry about winning this game before you start talking about backups going in.
