From the article posted earlier: The 1951 agreement gave the US the authority to "construct, install, maintain, and operate" military installations in specific locations, most notably Thule Air Base (now Pituffik Space Base). Between these locations and across Greenland's national territory, including its territorial seas and airspace, US forces are granted "unrestricted freedom of operation" under Article V. The Kingdom of Denmark's authority over Greenland is expressly acknowledged in the agreement. The US has "exclusive jurisdiction" over its military troops and defensive zones, which includes exemption from several Danish laws and fees. [Hidden Content] Don't know that much about the base. Good up-to-date article that describes all the in's and out's, including the history and current staffing, etc. Sounds to me like the agreement with Denmark basically gives the U,S. carte blanche anyway. So, this seems more about ownership of minerals to me.

United can be playing the Spurs and @BMTSoulja1 would say, I know the Spurs have Wembanyama and De'Aaron Fox, but I think the Timberwolves win by 10. SMH...

Low cost of living. Low crime rate. Quality education experience for kids. Quiet lifestyle.

Typically I would agree, but I don't have much sympathy for the Democrats that watched with their mouths shut the selective prosecutions of Trump and his staff.

WV wouldn't have lost any games all year if the coaches would have had the players in the right position. Or something like that.. I remember reading it before.

Seemed like a scapegoat case all along. The Superintendent/Principal/Maintenance Supervisor of the school was more responsible by not fixing a door lock they’d been notified was faulty long in advance. I don’t remember if anyone in the ISD was ever held responsible or not.

LMAO... Dude stop!

[Hidden Content] Where is the pathetic UN on this? Do they even serve a purpose? Come on liberals, explain it to me.

Always remember….in the game of chance, Trump is the house.

Y'all are missing the point. The U.S. already has unfettered authority to do whatever they want on Greenland with a tacit 'check-in' to the local representative and Denmark. I've previously posted the agreements and links to the others. So, there's nothing to really be gained on the defensive front. As far as the minerals/resources, to my knowledge there's no technology available that would make these safely accessible in any near term future. I don't know how many fools there are that would be willing to invest billions in a smallish, unstable icesheet with an island that's less than 1/4 of the size of the contiguous U.S. Not to mention, the power requirements that would be needed to even contemplate much development. At the height of it's population, Greenland has had a little under 60,000 people. Most are indigenous, and don't want to be a part of Denmark or the U.S. They want independence, and to live in their own 'tribalish' way. They speak their own language, lack any in-depth technical knowledge, and seem to have no desire to change. They survive on ancestral fishing techniques, and massive subsidies from Denmark. Without Denmark's subsidies, they wouldn't survive. The Dem's would be happy. They'd have 3 places they could add Senators after adding statehood. Greenland, Puerto Rico, and D.C. All 3 would be basically guaranteed liberal strongholds. Greenland is socialist already. For all the kudos about cutting budgets with DOGE, why the heck would you want to take on a 'forever' welfare territory that really offers nothing you don't already have? If you must, create formal, indefinite land leases with air & sea rights similar to Gitmo. Make them survivable regardless of whether Denmark remains in charge, or Greenland goes independent. When you have a bigger footprint, possibly bring some development, and show the population what CAN be, maybe they will be more perceptive to a merger. If China or Russia come calling, make sure the arrangement has a ‘right of first refusal’, or a block on non-NATO ownership/leases. Until then, you have all the access necessary without the cost. Use it. Greenland isn’t Venezuela. Far from it. Unless it's all about ego...

His tough talk has always been a tactic, threaten for 100%, settle for 10%, which was the original target. Politicians aren’t supposed to operate like that, lol.

Potential to have a serious ice storm this weekend. I hear Ted Cruz has already left the state. 😀

I’m a moderate conservative and support a fair amount of Trumps actions, but some really bother me. i caught the back half of yesterdays speech and it was embarrassing.

First win for Onalaska in 20 year school history at Crockett.

Those who mistakenly compare ICE to the Gestapo need to look at what’s happening in Iran. THAT’s Gestapo……maybe even worse. Did those students get due process?

I'd like to jump in and give my honest answer. The Biden DOJ had 4 years to expose or go after anyone in the documents (there are no "files", just a bunch of documents from different departments for over TWO DECADES) - so, for 2 decades this has been going on and no one has been charged...The Victims made civil deals with the Epstein estate, they say they have a list but won't release it....and btw, exposing a crime does not break a NDA......it's protected. So, they could release, but they have not.... So you can believe there is not enough evidence to bring up charges against anyone other than who has been charged....OR, you can believe it is a massive coverup and through 4 administrations, with approx. 10,000 attorneys in each administration through out the years covered it up or looked the other way..... When/if we get the redacted files, we won't have enough information to decide if anyone is guilty..... I say after 2 decades,,,,,it won't matter.

I’ve done my best to read the files for myself. I’m on page 176. Pretty boring with all the heretofore, whereas, and all that legal jargon. Still over 5,000,000 pages left.

I like the little BBQ place on the left as you come into Warren from the south.

I’m no fan of Clinton, but I’m not a fan of selective targeting either.

Look at where it is located and why you think it ight be important..... What if China "made a deal" or Russia "made a deal" ? Instead of just being against it because Trump is for it, research the why behind it. You may find you agree with something Trump is planning.

I think it was that "they needed to listen to the little league coaches" who really know how to use the players. WV is a lot like WOS in that their little league coaches know more than the HC and his staff.

I think the marquis game of the marquis games for this Friday deserves it's own prediction/hype thread. #3 state ranked (#1 AAW) Beaumont United at #10 state ranked (#3 AAW) Beaumont West Brook. Friday will bring district play to the halfway mark and the winner of this game will take over sole possession of 1st place. This will be the second meeting between these two teams. United beat West Brook earlier this season in the YMBL finals, 59-52. West Brook was short a main player for that game but is now fully healthy. What are your thoughts and predictions for this big time game? FYI, Texan Live will be broadcasting this game.

Riley was boys athletic coordinator 2018-2023 before getting the nod to the AD role in 2024.

Silsbee, 63-58.

Still not a 100% reveal, but I found this…. [Hidden Content] greenland framework&source=sh/x/gs/m2/5#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:6898c537,vid:z-ES0zPAruQ,st:0

Can you believe we got clueless clowns that are waiting on midterms to hopefully return to the dumpster fire era simply because they hate the rich white Republican.

What a difference. When Biden entered a room, he had to be led by the hand. How embarrassing.

I think he should dock it in Port Arthur, Texas. We know what to do with it.

Tigers looked "Tiger like" last night. Much better ball movement and team basketball, Even shot the ball pretty descent. Big game this Friday at Vidor to finish first half of district.

Actions produce results.

I just finished my taxes. I owe Somali’s $3,200 dollars.

Lemmon knew what the plan was, don’t believe his lies. After the trans mass murder on a church in Minneapolis, this was a terrible thing to do. Imagine, cnn fires you so you have to pull a political stunt to get your mug on the tv under the guise of free speech. I wonder if someone broke into Lemmon’s house, brought about 20 protesters with them, and interrupted he and his buddy would he agree with it being covered by the 1st amendment?

New 5A mocks from Stepp. [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content]

Football isn’t the be all and end all… neither are sports for that matter

Since when is it that white America is bad? Man, you are so anti American it ain’t funny, and it’s obvious you have gone off the deep end. I won’t tell you to gth like you did me.

I feel the subpoena is more of a back door effort to quieten the Epstein files rather than expose anything.

It is not illegal to have a buy back. It is against the law to have a government subdivision to be involved. The firearms are not transferred through aN FFL.

FINAL 80-68 Sterling

Win the games you should win!!!

Orangefield 79 Anahuac 50 Final

The officials from barbers hill should be ashamed of themselves for cheating kids .

End of 3 Lumberton 34 WOS 47

@No-look1 We could end up d2 if 2 of the 3 make playoffs... Academy, Rockdale, and Cameron. Academy should be a playoff team. Franklin, Thrall, and Academy should take the top 3 spots. It will come down to Rogers, Rockdale, and maybe Cameron for the 4th spot. Lexington QB that is going d1 could take a game from someone if he is on and the team he is playing is not. As of right now I would put Rogers in that 4th spot because of the run they had in the playoff. But baseball is a funny game and anyone can win on any given night. Huntington should be good once again and will most of region 3. 3A baseball pound for pound is the best in the State. 3A plays some really good baseball.

yeah, i'll buy that one back from you. give you twice what the program is offering

How does that compare with the history of Woodville? "Falling off"? "Better"? or "normal"? Keeping in mind that WV fanbase is among the most delusional in the state of Texas, just ran off the coach that led the to the State Championship because he "didnt know how to coach" and now dont like the newly hired coach because he "doesnt know how to coach either". Only WV fanbase knows how to coach and run a program.

A reason why I no longer post All-District teams. They have become a farce with all the different "special" accolades and the fact that more than 44 players make 1st team and 2nd teams. 71 players made Superlatives/1st/2nd teams (not counting honorable mentions). A normal count would be 47-48, at most 50.
