Sadly, a lot of school districts choose to let the pervert resign so they don't have to report it and take the time to go to court. If you remember several years ago a Memorial coach was jailed for this and when it came out that there were allegations at other schools, the girl sued those schools. I don't remember the outcome of the lawsuits. My favorite professor at Lamar, Coach John Payton, always told us to never be alone with any of your students. I have lived by his advice now for 33 years.

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.

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'm sorry sir, you are incorrect on this one. I do this for a living. I'll keep the explanation as short as possible, but as long as your replies as the former employer are fact-based and not purposefully inflammatory, you can relay certain info about a previous employee to a prospective employer. Especially if the prospect in question has signed a release. Chapter 103 of the Texas Labor Code protects from defamation liability an employer who releases information about a current or former employee to a prospective new employer, unless "the information disclosed was known by that employer to be false at the time the disclosure was made or that the disclosure was made with malice or in reckless disregard for the truth or falsity of the information disclosed." Follow my guidelines, and it will serve you well: Release only factual information Supply Only What Is Requested Tell the Truth Avoid Inflammatory Terms Use a Written Release Form

10-4A DII has 4 top 25 teams. #2 WO-S #14 Silsbee #19 Hamshire-Fannett #25 Shepherd Hardin-Jefferson and Jasper. This will be a very tough district.

For clarification: schools run a background check from the DPS database. If that comes back "clear", the school check references. Former employers are only technically allowed to provide 1. dates of employment 2. eligible for rehire yes/no 3. they may also provide safety info for DOT sensitive positions. Anything beyond the above listed information can expose the former employer to legal trouble. If they reveal unsubstantiated or unverified rumor type information that prevents a former employee from being hired, they can be subject to lawsuits.

That should be the take away. Our intelligence knows more than they are telling us. Which other administration eliminated their Navy and Air Force? I think if Obama or Biden had done this, the media would be reporting we are in much better shape then they are now.

Right. Didn't have any other choice but to let him go. That would be the case any where.

9 more weeks from today it begins 🙌🏾

Except, that's a lie beyond belief. The entire Iran military is gone, with the exception of a few random drones they still have hidden and even those have all but disappeared. The entire Iran leadership is gone, except for one or two that has to stay in hiding and cant travel freely or even use a cell phone. The entire Iran nuke stockpile is essentially gone, reduced to dust by the bunker busters. The entire Iran nuke enrichment labs are gone, reduced to rubble. Iran's ability to control the straight is gone. Iran's ability to rebuild is gone. The potential for Iran to become a nuke power is completely gone. The world is in awe of the US military, and the world now knows the former US Muslim president and the US dementia president is gone.

There's really no point engaging with that poster. He's a troll, he has a stage 5 case of TDS, he's been banned multiple times and keeps coming back creating new user accounts/names, thumbs his nose at forum rules and the moderators, and the best he has to offer is some drive-by post to try and stir things up. Meh.

Real Video of Reagan being baptized by Trump.

That is easy to say, but I'm not sure more perception than reality. Trust me, my Dad built me a 65 Mustang from the ground up and gave to me for my 16th birthday in 1982, custom paint job and all.....so I know where you're going, but.... My work Truck is a 2011 Ford F150 Lariat 5.0 Coyote engine......When I parked her at work today, her milage was 309800. She has original engine and transmission. I don't recall 1960's or 1970's vehicles getting that kind of milage out of original engine. The only things that don't work are key fob....cause my ex-wife washed it...SMH - and the rearview camera (cause I don't wanna fix it) I don't drive her any further than I want to toe her home......but she makes he drive from Port Arthur to Vidor 5 days a week, plus around town on the weekends.

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.

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.

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

Astros win 7-5 in 10. Houston has now won 9 of their last 12 and have reached 2 games under .500 (42-44) for the first time since April 10 when they were 6-8.

No more delusional than you believing this would only take 2 weeks. Just sayin'.

Here's a pretty reliable think-tank assessment. It helps explain some of the confusion surrounding Iran's remaining capabilities. As I stated--regardless of propaganda--there's still a lot of unknowns. It doesn't discuss the nuclear issue in this piece. But, there's no verified intelligence assessment on the exact damage to Iran's nuclear program. There are summations. Those summations are based on incomplete intel. The only way to get a true accounting is to topple the regime by whatever means is required where direct intelligence can be gathered. That's part of the danger of any 'deal.' There's no true baseline without the regime's full cooperation--which won't be coming. I know "regime change" is a dirty phrase to many--if not most. But--in this case--it will probably be the only way. The Administration needs to make the case for it. Right now, the IRGC is helping make the case to other world leaders themselves. But, there are a lot of everyday people in America who believe something different. They need to be convinced. Educate them on how the current Iranian regime remaining in place will affect their gas prices, and every other good they purchase. Make it more than just about the nuclear program. Make it about day-to-day life and expenses. Tell them how Iran regulating oil through the Strait will affect their pocketbook. They should have plenty of recent evidence now. I'll agree it doesn't appear Iran can launch a nuclear warhead at this time. That's as far as I'll go as it relates to their nuke program status. I can guarantee that's as far as any internal intelligence assessment provided to POTUS will go. It won't provide definitive details. That's not how our assessments work unless the info is verified by multiple sources. What he does with the assessments he does receive from there is more of a political statement on his part for his own reasons. [Hidden Content]

He would be in the same boat as Foreman if both knew. I am being told by many that Peveto had baggage from other stops and any one doing their due diligence would have to question his work ethics. Coaches talk.

Houston is halfway thru the season. (81 games). They are 38-43 (.469), 5 games under .500. Astros were season high of 11 games under .500 on May 20 (20-31). Since then Houston has gone 18-12 (.600) Astros are currently 3.5 back of division leader Seattle and 2 games back of final wildcard spot. In the 81 games played, Houston has used 79 different lineups due to injuries. They have played an MLB high of 49 players. Offensively: Astros are currently 16th (7th in AL) in hitting with a team batting average of .244. OBA of .318, SLG at .414 and OPS of .732. All those rank in top 10 of MLB. After the first 40 games of season, Astros were hitting around .265 and were top 3 in every offensive category. Last 40 games the offense has dropped to middle of the pack. Pitching: Houston is 27th in MLB (13th in AL) in team ERA at 4.81. OBA is .243 and WHIP is 1.41. In the first 50 games of season Houston's team ERA was around 6.4. Over the last 30 they have cut over 1.5 runs off the ERA. Houston pitching is definitely getting better and that is a very good sign for the rest of the season. Astros have 17 more games till All-Star break. If they can manage to get to .500 or better by that time, I really think Houston will have a great shot at making playoffs considering how the rest of the division is playing and how most of the AL is playing. The trend is a positive one.

Oh no. An 80 year old with jet lag dozing off. What’s the world coming to?

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.

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

The deal might as well be written on toilet paper because they will violate it you can bank on it. As for as bombing them that might trigger them closing off the strait again but as you’ve said other countries are looking for other alternatives for their oil but it would still hurt the global economy imo. We should have been all in from the beginning to take out the oppressive regime and secure the uranium or not go in at all imo. Trump ran his piehole too much and Iran called his bluff. What a mess.

Never took the shot and never was a thought common sense to me

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.

… and yes, 4 year olds aren’t usually that bad but you can see it coming sometimes.

I purchased with my "play" money that I make form my band hobby. If I would not have bought this, it would of been guitars or band equipment. I have an etrade account that I buy misc. stocks when the market dips. I'm curious to see where it goes.

Nimmo is a class act.

One of the things I’m not proud of is the wokeness of Austin. It’s a disease. Still a Longhorn fan. Hopefully this disease hasn’t infected any other campuses. For my Longhorn’s WS run, I believe we have a good shot at the title if we get past Georgia. That series with Miss St. had to have set some records for scoring and HRs.

It’s over. 35 years

I think it will come down to the economy. Blame may be part of it. There is a saying that all politics are local. That is probably not 100% true, but there is certainly a lot of truth in it. An example is that Nancy Pelosi in some polls has shown to be the most unpopular politician in America, yet the Democrats had her as the Speaker. The country haters her but unlike the president, she is not on the national ballot. She is only from one district in San Francisco and she wins there by landslide. Politics is local. The national news media can talk about good times or bad times but people tend to vote on what is happening in their area. Politics is local. To expand on that, the Democrats are notorious for shooting themselves in the foot with their issues and campaign strategies. They choose hills to die on like taking away firearms, having schools teach and facilitate gender change without parental consent or knowledge, throwing the borders open, etc.Nationally some of that may play well but does it play well in southeast Texas or northwest Missouri? So if the economy is down or there is some other major issue going on and the Democrats give up on their identity politics, they have a good shot at the presidency. Hopefully they will hold to their strategy like the movie Idiocracy. If it seems utterly ridiculous, do it!

6 pitches….2 HRs

You brought up being a lame duck president.

What you fail to realize when those other players was a BU they had the Hancock brothers and there helping develop the kid and the current coaching staff don’t have time to help the kids cause all are up in age and they wanna go home and not stay and let the kids work Coleman was the only one willing to stay but he also stay in Houston so he wasn’t able to stay every and Wes was about to go prep but Hancock came back that’s the only reason Wes stayed

The Supreme Court recently ruled that federal courts could not order states to gerrymander districts to create majority minority districts. In the case of Louisiana v. Callais the Supreme Court said that a state could not be ordered to gerrymander districts in order to create more minority representation districts. To do so would violate the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause. Some courts and people felt that discrimination was okay if it was against White voters. So in Callais, Louisiana was allowed to redraw their districts. Up pops Alabama. In a challenge to the Voting Rights Act, a special master was appointed to redraw the Alabama districts about 3 years ago which had been set by the state legislature. The federal special master disregarded the legislature and drew the state districts by gerrymandering in order to force more minority representation. After the decision by the Supreme Court in Callais to not have federal courts decide state districts, another challenge was made in Alabama to enforce the federal approved districts, again ignoring those enacted into law by the legislature and the decision in Callais. The federal court in the Northern District of Alabama stepped up and again interfered with the Alabama legislature map. It was like Callais never happened. So naturally, there was an appeal to United States Supreme Court. They ruled yesterday that the federal court in Alabama needs to get back its lane and butt out. Alabama’s district map will remain as the legislature drew it and not a federal court approved master.

I sure hope it's not Jones. If it is, that would be three different high schools in 4 year career. (3 in three years to be exact) This transfer thing is getting way out of hand. Playing for 2 different high schools in 4 years can be tolerated. Three or more? That's egregious.

Main cover should have Sark and McGuire on it with boxing gloves.

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
