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

Eh 5 different schools in 5 years is more uncommon to say the least lol even for a coach

The Bruins went 4-0 today at the Dickinson State Qualifier

The middle class shrinking is one of the biggest myths out there, and is used as a way for the government to intervene even more than it already does. This is only one study of many. Yes, the Middle Class Is Shrinking—Because It's Moving Up The real squeeze comes from government-distorted markets, not economic decline.

I have zero problem with HI moving from UIL to TCAL. Got to do what's best. Also, HI has really no reason to consolidate with any other ISD. They operate in the black and just passed a bond to improve facilities on all fronts. Are they experiencing growth problems? Yes. But there are many school districts existing in the state of Texas that have fewer students than HI. It certainly isn't necessary to participate in UIL for a school to exist. High Island ISD has it's purpose for it's own community. That's all that matters.

Tony would be so pumped

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.

Yeah I try to intentionally forget those years. 🙃

Welp. So much for that. What a waste of bandwidth.

Pending eligibility of course

6 pitches….2 HRs

They had enough talent to win a championship, no question. But you only get there when you develop every player, from the starters to the last man on the bench — mentally, skill‑wise, and with real structure. The days of rolling the ball out and hoping they figure it out are over. They also needed someone younger on staff who could keep the gym open, rebound for guys, and help them get that extra work in. That matters. And honestly, that’s probably part of why some players decided to leave. Still, I wish those kids nothing but success. Never let anyone tell you there’s only one way to reach your goals. Carve your own path and stand on it with confidence.

It’s nothing to move apartments across cities in the Dallas and Houston areas

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.

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

CH won it all in 2017 with 10-0 win over Wall

Those who have been in armed conflict are usually the last ones to want to start one. But, when the decision is made, and the ‘trigger is pulled’, anything less than all out effort gets more of ‘our people’ dead. Avoid civilian casualties where possible. If not possible, and legitimate targets are keyed, it is a sad byproduct of conflict. If you don’t have the stomach for it, don’t start the conflict. I can guarantee the IRGC wouldn’t blink twice if they had the capability to set off a dirty bomb in a civilian area in the U.S. THAT’s who we’re dealing with. The version of beliefs they hold actually desires the end of Israel and the Big Satan. Not just the military. The entire civilian population. They don’t care. They believe it will usher in the return of their prophet. Others are more secular, and just know if they lose power, they’ll be killed. I’m not joking when I say these folks are bat sh t crazy. If you don’t eliminate them, they’ll pull another cockroach in 2-3 years. Better to deal with it now than take a chance on the next Administration being Gavin & AOC, or someone similar.

That was faster Reagan getting upset about someone being critical of Trump!😂

Whoever the political advisor was he listened to that said a ceasefire was a good idea should be immediately fired. When he made the decision to begin the conflict, he should have been all-in, and only listened to his military leaders from then on out.

If you want to see what's really happening with the kinetic actions, among other news, the site I posted earlier has a lot of info for details. It shows (graphically as well with zoomable detail maps) each specific instance of strike, attempted strike, etc. all from verified intel, satellite, Centcom, etc. Kind of nerdy. But, also very revealing. [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content]strike/37

What would make you happy? You are starting to remind me of my ex-wife🤦🏻‍♂️

He’s correct. [Hidden Content]

Aledo takes out Mellisa in a 1 game playoff 5-4. BH vs Aledo for State

BH wins 11-1 in 5th! On to State.

The almost doubling of fuel prices is not Trump’s fault? Uh….Yes it is! Own it and take your medicine.

Trump is not a conservative, neither is the GOP Party.

Because there is nothing to talk about...

I thought he looked good at Barbers Hill and was the best fit for him.

Bongino is a good, honest man!

The dems are always going to vote dem. But I always find it fascinating when the "concerned moderates" and "Never Trumpers" that "allegedly" have traditionally voted R, happily pull the lever for D. The Biden presidency was a complete disaster and a stain on our nation's history. Kamala said she'd "change nothing" about it so a vote for Kamala was effectively just an extension of the Biden embarrassment. The only explanation I can come up with for a traditional R to vote D, is that their brain has been broken by TDS and their soul corrupted with hate for the guy. I'm not getting everything I voted for (and none of us ever will), but I'm getting a lot of it. And it's infinitely better than if Kamala was in charge.

Trolling at it’s finest CB - noticing no one will have a serious conversation with you?

I have been wondering if we would get a Lamar softball post this year. If only they would have gotten rid of the coach!
