I hope Texas high school basketball never gets a shot clock in my lifetime.

I may have posted this before but I think of Reagan everytime I see it. Lol

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.

Pedo’s protect Pedo’s

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

Good. Hopefully it'll be fully implemented in a few years. They should have sent them film from that Silsbee/Lumberton game from a few years ago. No more trash basketball.

This is my 2¢ opinion. Such shooters usually (not always) do not want to be taken alive. It is sometimes their last act of defiance. Kill as many innocent people as possible, especially if a police officer, and then before being arrested, end their life or be killed by the police so as to keep anyone from seeking retribution. It’s like, I created mayhem and killed people and there’s nothing you can do about it. Starting at Columbine, that seems to be a common motive. When Klebold and Harris figured out that they were cornered and/or had run out of easy targets, they each committed suicide. Before that the police had fired about 140 rounds. So Klebold had Harris didn’t mind exchanging fire with the police, knowing that they were eventually going to end it. In the Mildland shooting it would not surprise me either way that the police killed the shooter or (perhaps more likely) he killed himself.

Great point - working in banking what I have noticed is people with no money who get money end up bank to their poor status quickly. I have 30 minute lectures with people who get 30K plus in one check from a settlement or inheritance. I try and explain this is more than likely a once in a lifetime event. Then I explain how long, if ever, it would take them to save that much money....The nod their head in agreement, we open their account or make their deposit, and usually in 60 days it is gone......

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.

I said ‘credible mentions.’ 😝

Georgia won the SEC but I feel like they sold out everything to beat Texas at the WS,it worked but that’s it..I pick OU over NC,it’s baseball though!

Newton Eagles football schedule update. game with Liberty-eylau is at Newton and Newton will be at Liberty-eylau the next year. game with Franklin will be played at Henderson.

Oklahoma might win this thing..they have things bouncing their way and are hitting the piss out the ball

I don’t remember anyone celebrating a teenager killed. I am sure it happened though. I don’t celebrate anyone getting killed however there are some people that made their own bed. Where was it a couple of days ago that I saw two teenagers break into a home or business and one was shot and killed and the other got away? Am I happy that a couple of teens made a terrible mistake and one paid with his life? No. The parents now have to live with the grief from what happened but there’s a good likelihood that the parents caused it. I know that it wasn’t addressed to me but I don’t find it hypocritical to say that Anthony committed murder and Martin and the teen in the news a couple of days ago likely caused their own demise.

MAGA, if you’re upset about Trumps name being removed from the Kennedy Center, it’s okay. It’s still in the Epstein files. LOL!

Whoos yo Daddy?!

He’s not wrong but he fails to mention the Republicans spend over 2 trillion dollars above what the government takes in yearly. Trump is not a conservative despite what Reagan thinks. As I’ve said before republicans or democrats refuse to cut spending therefore adding to inflation which is a unlegislative tax. I know I sound like a broken record but no business or family can do what our government is doing and has been doing for decades. We’d go out of business and bankrupt if we did but the government just keeps printing more money. SMH

How much will it cost to rebuild Iran

Copy/paste? You bring nothing to the table but whine whine. Isn’t that a cult?

Expect a but but but/comparison to something else.. meaning more L's for the bots and cult members..

Wow, same number of enlisted murdered leaving Afghanistan…….and left $billions in military equipment..…not a peep.

IPO two days ago. Market cap now higher than Amazon, and it hasn't released a single fundamental to back up the share price. What could possibly go wrong? lol Gut tells me a whole lot of folks are going to be left holding the bag when institutions and hedge funds take massive profits before the little guys can get out. They're going to have to be disciplined enough to ride out the storm, and pray there's not a single launch issue.

To me, one of the best things to happen out of this—besides no nuclear weapons for Iran if that actually gets done—is the realignment of energy across the globe. The Strait won’t be allowed to have as much impact in the future. Producers will find other outlets. Plus, the U.S. has been established as a reliable energy source without the headaches of the Middle East. We should now become one of—if not the—dominant energy producer/s in the world. Our supply lines are safe. Insurers will take note. Length of travel will not be as big an impediment if regularly scheduled shipments are undertaken by clients. This should bode well for energy investments, manufacturing, engineering, crafts and skills, and related high-paying jobs. Not to mention a boon to our resurgent steel industry.

Nope. Even if allowed—which the stock purchase contract may not allow in this case—you’d be selling short term. Meaning, you’d pay capital gains tax at your ‘normal’ tax rate. I’m assuming somewhere in the 20% effective tax rate range. Probably higher if you’re single with no dependents, and a decent banking job. That doesn’t count your buying fees. I don’t know your situation enough to know if you’d incur AMT. But, you’d take a loss. You need to sit on it and ride for at least one year to get it treated as a long-term capital gain, and get the lowest tax rate. Sorry to burst your bubble. You still bought a good, long-term investment. Just be prepared for a bumpy ride for a year or two until the first few reports come out, and serious investors can get a better handle on the numbers. The Starlink portion of the business is the profit-making side. Not the rockets. Right now, many are investing in the hype & Musk himself. If Musk were to suddenly not be in the picture, would you have bought the stock? I doubt if many investors would… That’s a scary proposition if you actually wanted to purchase more than just a few shares. The institutional buyers can dump a lot quicker than you can.

Thank God. People like Talarico are sick in the head. They’re a disgrace to decent human beings everywhere.

Geez…. So a Beaumont teen went to Houston and is accused of killing two teenagers. I don’t take solace in the fact that it didn’t happen here. Two teenagers are dead. Where they are from or where they were at the time doesn’t really matter. If convicted of Capital Murder there are only two punishments available, life in prison without parole or the death sentence. If this guy is guilty, let’s hope that he had already walked his last free days on this Earth.

Same

I love my country but hate my government!

Yep….and 30% of the 97% has been in the last 6 years. Trump and Biden can be thanked for that.

Can smell 'em comin' a mile away. lol

Shooter’s dead. Haven’t seen whether or not he took his own life. Probably so.

You were right, that didn’t take long. 😂

Just find it comical rather he posted it or not. Lol

His story is one for the history books. Living proof you can take an idea from a dream to reality....

The Strategic Oil Reserve is now down to 243 MM barrels. This is the lowest level since 1982. The SPR is supposed to be an insurance policy, It's not meant to be used for price controls, or election politics. For context, the U.S. consumes about 20MM barrels/day. Basically, our 30 day insurance policy is now down to 10. Refilling SPR to capacity at the highest fill rate of 785,000 BBLs/day means it would take until at least 2031 to refill if it were being filled at maximum rates--which is next to impossible given the age and condition of the infrastructure.

I am not a left leaning person so your post is Greek to me. Crickets from Reagan about the inflation numbers. Lol

His inflation is the most Beautiful Best inflation in history and it’s not even close as he would say. Lol

Tarkington just bought out their superintendent for $600,000, and with state penalties, it will cost them near $1,000,000 to move on from her. Tarkington's overall rating went from 88 in 2022 to 70 in 2024. Abysmal. Teachers fleeing like crazy. That hire was one of the worst mistake$ Tarkington ever made.

dude loves inflation lol

Did you notice the 4.2 percent inflation numbers that came out today from the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the month of May after 3.8 percent in April, 4.2 percent is the highest increase since April of 2023. I noticed Reagan failed to mention it, I am sure it just slipped his mind. The Golden Era is Here!

Incoming freshman class looked pretty good at the Kountze Summer League. There's of course still plenty of rough edges, but they handled business. Good news is the one kid I was worried about leaving to play elsewhere appears to be staying put.

What do you have against Make America Great?!
