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

What you fail to realize when those other players was a BU they had the Hancock brothers and there helping develop the kid and the current coaching staff don’t have time to help the kids cause all are up in age and they wanna go home and not stay and let the kids work Coleman was the only one willing to stay but he also stay in Houston so he wasn’t able to stay every and Wes was about to go prep but Hancock came back that’s the only reason Wes stayed

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.

That 2017 Silsbee team was crazy deep. A total of 11 players off that team went on to play the next level in either football or basketball. Not bad for a little ole small town 4A team.

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

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.

Biden was asleep when he was a wake. Huge difference.

State with 6 homers. Georgia with 4.

I don’t care if they have the public’s interest at heart. I want to support a person who votes the way I wish. Motivation is almost meaningless. I would rather have a politician vote for my beliefs most of the time, even if for selfish reasons on his part than a person who is truly caring and votes for everything I hate. If a politician votes the way you want, why are you worried about analyzing his motivation or thought process? You note that in your opinion that every single one is corrupted by self interest. Okay, so they are all equal on that point. So you never vote or care who wins because they are all the same?

No one is right or wrong. Like it or not.... We're all in this mess together and the only way to get out of this mess is to come together. Stop giving politicians what they want. Stop giving into the chaos. Stop giving into the he said, she said.

IMO this will become normal going forward kids will wanna go prep or pro. Assuming they are good enough… unless you have a group of 3 or 4 kids that are legit D1 and wanna stay together and when championshipszzz

Crazy how high school coaches won’t support this man but will beg him to cover your team/kids .

I mean they went prep…… that should be all the explanation

2 out of 3 from the red birds. Monday W 2-1 Tuesday W 7-4 Wednesday L 3-5 The indians are coming to town for a weekend series. Season record: 30-32

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

Just keep opening up that pocket book Lamar lol

Just know I saw almost every BU game the last 2 seasons. I’m not here to talk negative about the kid. Just know I’ve seen him starting out as a freshman, I’ve seen his progression. I’ve seen stuff he’s good at. I’ve seen things he needs to work on. But to say he was not utilized is just false.

7 of 16 nationally seeded regional hosts go down in the 1st weekend. Love how chaotic this tournament is.

Well, according to Grok and a 2009 study….. Among firearm suicides specifically, head wounds predominate but show gender differences: A 2009 study of 807 firearm suicides (Wayne County Medical Examiner’s office) found women were 47% less likely than men to shoot themselves in the head (vs. the body/chest). This is often linked to factors like greater co

Thought it was self explanatory.

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.

I guess trading the only players that are hitting is the way it is done now days that should solve all problems IDK

I'm kinda glad we lost in Regionals instead of Super Regionals or Omaha, Hogs were bipolar all season 🤷🏾‍♂️ Now I can watch the rest of the tournament without growing new gray hairs.

Not much to say about today pitching was pretty good as Iami only made 1 mistake, a 2 run dinger as far as I seen and relief pitching was good. 2-0 and 1 mistake was enough. Just no hitting/scoring on Astros part.

checking in with last year's CWS field...after Coastal's defeat this morning... LSU, Arizona, Louisville, and Murray State -- missed postseason Coastal -- eliminated UCLA, Arkansas, and Oregon State -- alive in the loser's bracket looks like heavy turnover from 2025 to 2026 in Omaha

I have no idea about any supposed $300 Million, or any of that. I don't think anyone knows yet. People are just spitballing. What I do know is the U.S. has more than enough munitions to take care of the Iran situation with no limitations. Some people are concerned because it would leave us short--if needed--to defend Taiwan in the 2 or 3 years or less timeframe. I can guarantee the U.S. is already looking at cheaper, new tech based on the Iran conflict that can be brought to bear in a shorter timeframe. The U.S. military industrial complex learns from every conflict. That--in a reverse good way--is why our tech always leads the way. The latest Defense Dept. budget request included $54 Billion for autonomous warfare programs. The U.S. will have AI in great use for military actions before anyone else is close. Somewhat scary. But, as long as humans are still making final decisions, it's the future of warfare. We need to lead. Not lag. Newsflash reiteration: We weren't going to wholeheartedly defend Taiwan anyway. It's too close in proximity to mainland China, and their assets. It would basically be undefendable if China wanted to go full bore invasion. Iran could have been pretty much over without a 6 week ceasefire. The next large scale conflict will be about energy and food resources. The Greenies have been acknowledged (even by the UN scientists) to have been full of horse manure. Many countries have been ruined, and economies have been crushed. Billions have been wasted while a few profited. Trump has done well in securing the Western Hemisphere. We have plenty of oil between Venezuela, Mexico, Canada, and the U.S. The Americas are energy rich. We are good on Nat gas. As far as agriculture, the Americas also offer a bounty that makes much of the world envious. Trump has also done well in attempting to onshore our needs in critical minerals and semiconductor fab shops. We are good on aluminum and steel. All-in-all, This Administration has us on a net positive for the next big conflict as long as the semiconductor and rare earth mineral investments get cranking fairly soon, and actually begin producing benefits. But, Iran is a rock around our proverbial necks. The prolonged conflict is hurting the everyday American, and no one should even attempt to deny. POTUS--and the public--need to understand, and be told the truth that some young men and women will lose their lives to secure all of our long-term safety. The fantastic folks who serve us all know what they are asked when they enlist. This is why they (the 1-2% that serve) are special. They all deserve our gratitude and support. They also deserve full backing, and the ability to perform their jobs while being led by competent leadership. I'm not as concerned about the competency of our military leadership. But, regardless of Administrations, I've been concerned about our political leadership's convictions and actual willingness to win for a long time. It's not a new problem. If you're sending our folks into harm's way, send them under true reasons, back them 110%, and then get out of the way except to supply them with everything they need. Give them clear mission objectives, and then act like you want to win. I am NOT a warmonger. As someone who has experienced combat, I'm actually almost opposite. But, preparation and having the 'bigger stick' is still the best way to avoid major conflicts. Once you're in one, stop half arsing it.

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.

The Golden Era is here! 👏👏👏

Yeah we played well. Only gave up a hit in game one

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

I just spoke with Harold. He doesn't think KLVI will drop sports broadcasts (Lamar, Nederland). He anticipates contracting out with KLVI to continue doing radio broadcasts of Nederland football and Lamar Athletics. Might be on a reduced broadcast schedule but should continue. We will see come September.
