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.

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

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.

Clay Travis @ClayTravis · 14h In June of 2022, gas prices averaged over $5 a gallon, inflation was 9.1%, the murder rate was 6.3 per 100k & S&P 500 was 3675. Four years later gas is cheaper, inflation is roughly 3%, the murder rate is 4.0 per 100k, & the S&P 500 is 7600, more than double four years ago.

Oak Hill will develop him into more of a stretch big man than United was willing to allow. He only played bully ball in the paint for the Timberwolves. Our coaches only know one way to play as evidenced in the state championship games.

Thought I would put this back on top Jury selection starts today

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

Hitting each other with pillows would be more accurate…

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.

He can’t. He won’t. But, right now, he’s lost the support of those who didn’t want him to start in the first place, and he’s losing the support of those who realize the need, but want him to finish the job all the way to regime change because they know it’s the only way.

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

Is the Strait opened or closed on these hypothetical questions? [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content]

Liberty wins in 6 innings Liberty 12 Brock 0 Final

Trump looks weak.......? How weak would China look if they took out our Navy and Air Force? How weak would China look if they took out 40 plus of our leadership starting with Trump? How weak would China look if they could prevent 90-95% of all trade the US has? You guys are doing some wild stuff to try and make us look weak......

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.

Trump or the GOP are not conservatives. There is nothing conservative about spending 2 trillion dollars a year more than you take in, there’s nothing conservative about allowing 500,000 Chinese students into our country because you don’t want to offend Xi. There’s nothing conservative about not addressing Xi about allowing Covid into our country and destroying hundreds of thousands of businesses and millions of deaths & shutting down a 36 trillion dollar economy. I could go on but I’ll stop there.

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.

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

So you don’t like free thinking conservatives that do not pledge unconditional allegiance to the Trump MAGA program? There can be loyalty to a fault.

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

They will begin the tear down process of the stadium immediately after the last Lufkin home game 2026. They will also move the one year old turf over to the Middle School field and are building a new track there at the same time to use in 2027 while new stadium is under construction at the HS. All Lufkin home games in 2027 will be played at SFA Homer Bryce Stadium. SFA may also be planning a stadium renovation in 2028, if this is so, then SFA will be offered to play their home games at the new Abe Martin Stadium in 2028.

Anyone that mentions a constitutional issue is putting up a smoke screen as it has zero bearing on the self defense issue. Anthony isn’t charged in a weapons crime. Stand your ground is true but again, has no bearing on this case. It is purely a self defense case. The DA will not argue that Anthony didn’t have the right of self defense. It will be a moot point but if used, it will be another smoke screen. Did Anthony reasonably believe that he was about to die or suffer serious bodily injury at the time the force was used? That is the self defense law in Texas. The law says that the self defense used had to be “immediately necessary” to be justified. How many fights did you see in school? How many had to kill the other in a reasonable be that he or she was able to die or suffer serious bodily injury because it was immediately necessary to avoid death or seriously bodily injury. So where is the reasonable self defense in this case? He shoved me so I had to kill him. He grabbed my arm so I had to kill him. Even if those happened, does shoving a person away justify deadly force? Juries are crazy and gullible but how can they see self defense in this case? Hopefully the jury will see through the fluff and the county has a good trial attorney.

I wonder what @BMTSoulja1 has to say about this? BTW, that one in serious condition died. 17 year old.

Just curious as to why the different size and type font than the regular size and style. Can you explain please? BTW, using oversize font is frowned upon here. Could be similar to "shouting" (using all caps) which is against forum rules. So I will ask you to no longer use that size font please.

Well you was half right… McGuire being on it lol

I wish UIL had the same set up as Louisiana and did best of 3 series for the state championships. Two "local" teams won state across the river in baseball this year: Westlake, and Moss Bluff Sam Houston (wife's alma mater). All of Louisiana's baseball state championship games were played in Sulphur, which surprised me.

I’ve posted my thoughts a couple posts previous. Bury—or take out—their shoreline tunnel/fortification systems. Without them, their control of the Strait via threats is negligible at worst, and nonexistent at best. Any launcher in country that shows its face, obliterate. Drones should be flying 24/7. Any boat on the water…sink it. Yes, you can do a lot more damage before taking out dual use facilities. Iran has a lot of open, unpatrolled territory. Use it. Make sure Starlink is being used to inform the people, or use some money to provide free service via AT&T, Verizon, or any and all to bypass Iran’s regulation of the internet. Get them info on how to access. Get information to the people of Iran. If you’re going to use money, use it to get people on your side—the original wish.

I agree… it’s a low cost trip for both teams… Liberty would probably have to agree to go to BH… if BH is looking to avoid playing teams they run rule… but I’ll say this… IF it worked in 2026, why try and fix it. Both programs benefited at the end. Don’t recall, but I’m pretty sure it was one of the first games.

Dang so close… London will be 4a next year. I was rooting for yall

Stop with the IF. They didn't. At this point China appears strong until orherwise. Your comment:You guys are doing some wild stuff to try and make us look weak...... Trump did this not you guys. Remember Trump bypassed Congress.

Two shutouts in the semi’s is not bad.

Astros lose to the Brewers last night, 5-4 in 10 innings. Houston had the bases loaded with 1 out in bottom of 9th but failed to score. Mathews struck out on three pitches (last one looking) and Parades flew out. Brewers scored their run in the 10th on two sacrifice flies. I hate that extra inning rule with runner on 2nd. Alvarez went 0-4 with 2 K's, one in the tenth inning with runner at 2nd. Santa took the loss without giving up a hit or a walk. Just doesn't seem right.

That has to be the picture you see when you look up DEMONcrat in the dictionary. I'm against everything that this guy stands for!!! Paxton will get my vote.

#4 Auburn down 10-0 to Milwaukee in the 4th

London 9 Huntington. 4. Game one

LP just made a steal by hiring Cirillo Ojeda. Great coach and will be bringing an All District Center with him.

Thank goodness you are not in a position of decision making for UIL high school athletics, because you would have sports programs folding left and right.
