Final 9-3 Lamar. Lamar leads series 1-0. That's 5 post season wins. 5 more than someone expected.

I'll never understand the amount of time and energy people put into talking, debating, and arguing about politics, as if politicians truly have our best interests in mind. One day, people will realize that it doesn't matter whether you're Republican, Democrat, liberal, conservative, white, Black, brown, or anything else. At the end of the day, none of these politicians—from the local level all the way to the president—don't have the public's best interests at heart.

I used to say that but apprenticeships and technical certifications or trade schools show that you can finish something. The military is the same. Do people really need English composition, humanities and intro to science classes for most jobs? I would venture to guess that in a majority of jobs, a person who has done 4 years in the military and was honorably discharged (and probably has a learned skill) should rank higher than a person who has English Lit and consumer math with a sheepskin. Looking at google out of curiosity, up to 41% of college grads are not employed in a job that deals with their degree and 52% at least initially take jobs that do not require a degree. I didn’t dig into how many eventually gained employment in jobs that actually require a degree Obviously some jobs should require a certain level of education such as medical doctors, lawyers, school teachers, certified accountants, HR people, perhaps banking, etc. Other than those, I think the need for college is way overblown.

Congrats to the Timberwolves who posted a 4-0 record at the Ridge Point SQT and advanced to state with a 25-19 win over LaPorte

One game ain't going to kill us. Now, if you ever become a season ticket holder, then we have a problem. Might have to give them to me.

I paid I $3.19 today. In a couple weeks it should be well under $3.00

Update: gas is now $2.99 in west Chambers Co.

The 17 year old who filmed himself urinating on Austin Metcalf’s grave and posting it on the internet, has been arrested.

Not surprising..... There would of been absolutely nothing he could of done that you would approved of. That's OK though - no money from US is being given to them, and if they don't live up to agreement, we have option to go back to bombing......

I hope Texas high school basketball never gets a shot clock in my lifetime.

Tony would be so pumped

That 2017 Silsbee team was crazy deep. A total of 11 players off that team went on to play the next level in either football or basketball. Not bad for a little ole small town 4A team.

The 2026 summer edition of DCTF went to press as scheduled on Friday We will reveal the cover of the magazine at Noon on Monday June 1 on Texas Football Today Magazines should be mailed out to subscribers mid-late June Magazines should start showing up in stores late June/early July!

You are correct if it's any deal that leaves the current regime in place. The amount of time until it comes back to bite us will be the only question. Sorry. I don't have TDS. I have experience with these folks. Hopefully, my posts have shown that I am somewhat competent on these type issues. I'm not even a 'Debbie Downer.' Again, it's just experience. And I could care less what the 'Trump don't play' crowd has to say. They've been wrong on this conflict from day one.

Barbers Hill also wins state in 5 innings Barbers Hill 11 Aledo 0 Final

Might need to get the tiebreakers out...this district on paper is actually deeper than I thought...the two Baytown schools won't be pushovers with all that they bring back....I think New Caney will be a thorn in the side of someone as well...fun district

I've never found the concept of MAGA that difficult to understand. I guess everyone could have an opinion of when America was great, or maybe some people think that America was never great..... I remember a time when folks went to school with shotguns in the back glass of a pick up.....and no one one got shot and no one stole the gun.....and that was in Port Arthur in 1981........ We fought in school and after school and no one was stabbed or shot.......most kids had 2 parents...... I honestly wouldn't mind going back to that time.......

Baseball’s almost over, DCTF magazine is on its way. It’s officially football season.

Jim Hicks and RCS Sports reported today that Coach Wise is expected to step aside as boys head coach. It is also expected that assistant coach Eddie Barlow will be the next HC at Yates HS pending approval. Coach Wise is currently the 2nd winningest coach in the Houston Area with 1009 career wins.

Sure they could have higher expectations… nothing wrong with that considering the tradition of the program… but that wasn’t the case with a lot of the fans they were out for blood and were terrible towards Coach Hickman… A lot of it was uncalled for.

I don’t think anyone on here has been anything less than understanding and appreciative. Trump’s comments and phrasing in the video posted were somewhat flippant. Deaths are not to be used in a political argument in the manner he did. Trump should have thought about all these things before he started. War is always a failure of men to find a better way. Even though—sometimes—it can’t be avoided. If it can’t be avoided, it must be engaged in quickly and decisively. It can’t be prolonged. The only result of delay is more damage to all.

The curse lives on. My wife and I have been to at least one Astros game a year starting in 2019 (except 2020 of course) and they have lost every single one. Brought our 2 year old daughter to her first game on Saturday, but she was not enough to break our family's bad juju smh.

I will.

Paid $3.33 @ H-E-B in Lumberton yesterday.

I may have posted this before but I think of Reagan everytime I see it. Lol

I don’t do ticktock but my wife has shared many stories of how impressed soccer foreigners are to visit our country, except for the heat. Helps make us realize how good we have it.

Pedo’s protect Pedo’s

Good. Hopefully it'll be fully implemented in a few years. They should have sent them film from that Silsbee/Lumberton game from a few years ago. No more trash basketball.

Great point - working in banking what I have noticed is people with no money who get money end up bank to their poor status quickly. I have 30 minute lectures with people who get 30K plus in one check from a settlement or inheritance. I try and explain this is more than likely a once in a lifetime event. Then I explain how long, if ever, it would take them to save that much money....The nod their head in agreement, we open their account or make their deposit, and usually in 60 days it is gone......

Nimmo is a class act.

I said ‘credible mentions.’ 😝

It’s over. 35 years

Unless there is a super majority in both houses, everyone is a lame duck. In Obama’s two terms, he lost majority control over Congress for the entire last 6 years of his presidency with a split Congress. For the last 2 years the Republicans held both houses. Were you concerned about the term lame duck for the last 6 years of the Obama administration? OMG… a lame duck!! 🤣🤣🤣

Finished the month of May off with a sweep over the royals. Friday W 9-1 Saturday W 7-6 Sunday W 6-3 Heading to st. louis for a 3 game series. Season record: 28-31

You speak your mind from what appears to be experience, and I read everything you post. You also post to debate versus post to “win” or one up someone which I respect. I like reading your opinions because they are sometimes different than mine, which makes me think

Astros win 5-1. Houston takes 3 of 4 from Arlington. Astros lead Silver Boot series 5-3 and are now tied with Arlington in the division.

Nice win 4-3 Yordan 2 dingers again 19 qnd 20. Good pitching by Burrows. King made it interesting again as Pedersen hit his 2nd dinger off him and De Los Santos closed it out nice

Odds are high that Lamar's season will end this weekend. UH could have waited a few days to make this announcement.

Gall bladder surgery has become pretty routine, but I pray she recovers quickly.

Here we go. Didn’t take long.

Incidentally, I fall in the 55% of veterans who believe the war has to be seen through at this point in this latest Fox poll. But, it needs to be a full force effort. None of this half arse crap. Get it done with overwhelming force. Quickly. Justify it better to the American people. Even though I may not be happy about it.

If you’re going by margins, Massie received 99.6% of the vote in 2024, and was so solid he ran unopposed except for a write in. So, I’d say the people he represented liked him better—or as well as Trump—at the last election. This race was shaped by outside influence. All you have to do is look at the funding. Even Massie got less than 20% campaign funding from the district. Gallrein was less than 10%. Gallrein received more funding from AIPAC aligned sources than from ‘normal’ American PACs & donors. Whether you like Massie, or not—and I don’t know all of his votes at this point—you have to admit this seat was bought and paid for by Israel. Even you have to admit that. They have no intention of losing their over $6 Billion/year of aid. Read their X post. They even admit it, and appear proud of it. They happily list every candidate they took out that wasn’t supportive of Israel as much as they liked. I’m not an anti Israel person. But, when a group specifically exists to lobby for a foreign government, they should have to follow FARA, and register as a foreign agent. No different than the crackdowns that have been happening against China, or anyone else. Now, the Admin is cracking down on Mexican Consulates for activities similar to AIPAC. [Hidden Content] Would you be okay with LULAC putting in so much funding, false info & lies that Talarico was elected? I’ll answer for you. Of course not. I’m like baddog, Massie, Marjorie T Green & others in that I don’t think a group that exists primarily to lobby for a foreign power should be able to contribute to our elections. I don’t see how anyone could think that would be a good thing.
