  2. This should be simple but apparently not. There are three branches of government in the Constitution for the separation of powers. One of those is the Executive Branch which is the president and everyone that answers to the president. Article II starts with: The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. Trump fired some bureaucrats from his administration. A federal judge stepped in and said you can’t do that and issued an injunction. The federal judge acted like the Executive Branch is like a union and the head of the Executive Branch, the president, has no control over who serves him without just cause… as approved the the Judicial Branch. An appeal to the Ninth Circus got the same result with a 2-1 vote that the Constitution was wrong and the executive Power doesn’t lie with the president but the Judicial Branch who gets to determine if the president can fire his own bureaucrats. Hmmmmm…. can we say the separation of powers? So an appeal to the Supreme Court resulted in an 8-1 ruling staying the injunction. The ruling was that the government would likely win if the case was fought in trial and then all the way to the Supreme Court where Article II says that the POWER of the Executive Branch will be in a president. Even Kagan and Sotomayor even agreed that yeah, that’s in the very first sentence of Article II. The only dissent was from, you guessed it, Brown Jackson. She is a kook. Her opinion is that the president doesn’t have complete control over the entire Executive Branch…. as is listed in the Constitution. If this was a private enterprise company and the owner wanted to fire an employee, the owner could not do so unless a judge agrees? No wonder she couldn’t define a woman..…..🤣🤣🤣

    You miss the point. Democrats are actually picking socialist/communist candidates. The term ‘Democratic Socialist’ is a made-up load of crud, and is just a slower move towards government ownership with stupid voters actually asking for it. As @baddog has said, it’ll happen before the people even know what hit them. For everything Clinton was, and the benefits he got by being POTUS during the dot.com boom, he was at least a Capitalist.

  10. The smartest thing this government could do would be to start revoking all security clearances at separations of service for either military or political personnel. Obama still has his clearance. Why? Same with any of them. Never did understand the policy of allowing them to continue. If someone needs to be read in, make them pass another clearance based on up-to-date information.

  11. Probably not super relevant to this forum, but on Saturday at 11am Tepper and I will be at Dick's sporting goods in San Antonio at I-410 and San Pedro doing a live San Antonio kickoff show which will be streamed on all DCTX platforms What IS relevant is Dick's and DCTX have partnered for a 20% off coupon that can be used statewide this weekend, so if you need to buy cleats, school shoes, gear for any sport is a great chance to do so!! The coupon code is below: [Hidden Content]

  12. Correct. It’s really a big nothing burger conspiracy. Trump—as has been true in many cases—evidently doesn’t realize even POTUS can’t direct a judge to do something in a criminal case. Appears he still believes he can do pretty much anything he wants as POTUS. While I like many of his policies—especially the new law he recently signed that few heard about making fentanyl a Class 1 so cartels and others could really be hammered—he thinks he can do a lot of things he really cannot. Overall, I think he’s done a decent job so far in fulfilling what the voters asked. Definitely have been some hiccups along the way in some of the implementation.

Kinda confusing.....Some think Comey single handily cost Hillary the 2016 election (which would seem to be the opposite of what UT would of wanted)....along with the abuse of Trumps civil rights (I thought UT alum was all about civil rights) knowing the information was false. Some folks think the end justifies the means....as long as trump is defeated.......but as always, what goes around, comes around

Our first lady was a successful model and speaks 6 languages.....I have a hard enough time with one..... I voted for Trump to run the country, not to preach at a Sunday mass....... When I pick a doctor, it is for his skills in the doctors office, not what he does after work.....

  19. In wrapping up this session the Supreme Court finished strong. In the last couple of days we have: Trump v. Casa - The Supreme Court said that federal district judges have been greatly overstepping their authority in issuing universal injunctions. As an example from what I googled, G W Bush had 12 universal injunctions in 8 years. Obama had 20 in 8 years. Trump has had 40 in less than 5 months. Of those, 35 were issued in only 5 districts. So out of almost 100 federal district courts, 5 have been used as a hatchet job. Anything that Trump does, take it to one of those federal courts and end it. Had Obama had this happen so the same pace as Trump, he would have had 900 universal injunctions, not 20. Mahmoud v. Taylor - In Montgomery County, Maryland, the school board decided that several LGBTQ books would be used from Pre-K through 5th grade. The district however had an opt out option if the teacher used the books for class assignments. Not so shockingly, the school district was stunned at the volume of opt out requests. So they changed the policy to no opt outs allowed for any reason. The Supreme Court struck down the ban on an opt out choice as it violated the First Amendment right to freedom of religion. Apparently some people have forgotten or haven’t understood that freedom of religion at school doesn’t mean only that religion can’t be pushed at public schools but it also can’t be denied. Seriously, who thinks that reading books on sexuality starting at 4 years old is a good thing… much less forced. Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton - Yep, a Texas case. Texas passed a law where accessing online adult content sites required age verification. The FSC claimed that it violated the free speech of adults to require age verification. The Texas law did not ban anything but only required age verification. The FSC claimed that showing your age violated the Constitution. The Supreme Court said that the state governments already restrict such material from over the county sales and a person can be asked to verify age by producing an ID. The same is true for tobacco and alcohol sales as examples. So why should digital media have less of a standard? The Supreme Court said that it didn’t and having as age requirement for online material that minors might access is no different than face to face, over the counter transactions. Overall it seems like a great couple of days from SCOTUS.

  26. Not sure what this legacy is of Obama that folks keep referring to, he sent insurance prices through the roof for hard working Americans (worked out great for the teat suckers) and was punked by every world leader he dealt with. He also imposed tariffs, killed folks with drone strikes and deported folks without due process, but for some reason the liberals and fake libertarians weren’t concerned then.

    Trump asked for Epstein Grand Jury testimony to be released......Judge blocked it - and actually said he can't release it per law - so, who can legally release it? As far as his name in the files, Wouldn't you expect that? It was already known that they associated in social events and functions. Trump was on the flight logs with his family. It is known he banned him from Mara Lago over hitting on someone's daughter. Meanwhile, Obama looks like he will be the first President investigated for sabotaging an incoming president........But lets talk about Trump and Epstein in the late 1980's......

  34. I am very interested in the WSJ lawsuit. Nice cover up. Curious to see if gump is willing to be subject to questions. Once again gump never drew any pictures. Epstein and Trump we’re never friends? When your caught with your pants down throw everything at them and see what sticks. Just another dirty old man with money. I was buying into the files can’t be released by either side and now we learn gump ordered the FBI to redact anything trump. Newsome is suing Fox News using the same tactics. Do you believe WSJ didn't do a thorough investigation before releasing the story. Russia collusion, the money that was sent over to Iran by the Obama administration for them to stop making wmd. Lastly Trump once again claiming that Iran facilities were all destroyed. Yet he wants a noble peace prize. 🥱 Yes, Round them all up including the old farts who participated at the island.

  36. Wish I’d seen this before my last post above. But, it does follow my earlier thoughts I posted about the judges involved having records sealed. Approval would have to be given to unseal. Sounds more and more like Trump over promised and under delivered as has been the case a lot, and Bondi spoke without thinking.

  37. I don’t give a crap about any of it. Trump lies. He’s a lying liar. He used the Epstein case to try and make Democrats “appear” to be Epstein’s prime clientele with zero evidence. Evidence appears, tune changes. A more pathetic man has never led our country, of that I can assure you.

  38. It is really easy to make up a good story based on a theory with no facts. You could be absolutely right or dead wrong. There is no way to prove one or the other. I still go back to Epstein killed himself or was murdered under the Trump administration. Biden won and his administration had 4 years to review, press charges, release documents or destroy documents. No one will ever convince me that the Biden Admin, trying to get Kamala elected, would not of leaked or made public any evidence that was there on Trump being involved with Epstein. People tend to ignore that Trump banned Epstein from Mara Lago for hitting on another members teenage daughter......

  43. We—Boomers—let education get away from us and become taken over by progressive socialists. Add to that a government power structure with an insatiable appetite for more control, and it’s a recipe for disaster. The final straw is to bring in a population that is more used to socialism/communism than capitalism, and you have all the necessary ingredients. That’s why I don’t have an issue with some of what Trump’s doing. It’s the long game. But, if federalism was being followed, we wouldn’t need all these EO’s because the Feds wouldn’t be all up in our business. SCOTUS seems to be trying to reign some of it in, and the progressives are squealing.

  46. Just felt I could raise him better, in a more stable environment, and that he shouldn’t have to suffer because she decided she wanted out of our marriage. If we’d had a girl, I probably would have supported all I could—but not pursued managing custody. I would have felt she could’ve connected better with a daughter. Of course, she’s been through 3 husbands since. So, a daughter wouldn’t have had it great either I guess. Meanwhile, I’ve been married to my sweetheart, and lived in the same house, for 35 years. It took a lot for a man to get custody back in the ‘80’s in Texas. I was in and out of court for 5 years. Spent just about every dime I had because she kept accusing me of all kinds of stuff. You know the drill. As a man in a custody battle—guilty until proven innocent.

I'll say this site politics is waayyy better than smoaky. Moderators over there edit the posts they don't like or agree with. Constantly delete ppls posts even if within rules, they make up rules as they go.. I got politically banned over there a couple years ago for a meme I posted SMH... I can't post ova there, I can still read the comments tho.. clown @RETIREDFAN1is worst moderator ova there.. dude let that mod power on being able to delete and edit anything he doesn't like get to his head... mods ova here let things handle themselves within rules. I applaud em for that!

    Dallas Carter will be Div. I along with Dallas Kimball. Both were Div. I last year. Those two will have to play each other in district and most likely regional final like they did last year. Kimball beat Carter in regional final 68-35. Kimball returns 3 starters and 10 reserves from their state championship team. A team that didn't experience a close game throughout the playoffs. Won championship game over Houston Washington 71-48. I'll put my money on Kimball over Carter. Silsbee will be DII so even if they were to make it that far, they would not see either of these teams.
