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

    UIL on shot clock usage

    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.

  5. 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.

  11. One of the things I’m not proud of is the wokeness of Austin. It’s a disease. Still a Longhorn fan. Hopefully this disease hasn’t infected any other campuses. For my Longhorn’s WS run, I believe we have a good shot at the title if we get past Georgia. That series with Miss St. had to have set some records for scoring and HRs.

    They have to (and certainly will) find a point of appeal where Anthony didn’t receive a fair trial because __________(fill in the blank). The Black women who were struck by the prosecution, faulty jury instructions, jury misconduct, evidence allowed that should have been excluded, etc.

    Trump Effect

    I think it will come down to the economy. Blame may be part of it. There is a saying that all politics are local. That is probably not 100% true, but there is certainly a lot of truth in it. An example is that Nancy Pelosi in some polls has shown to be the most unpopular politician in America, yet the Democrats had her as the Speaker. The country haters her but unlike the president, she is not on the national ballot. She is only from one district in San Francisco and she wins there by landslide. Politics is local. The national news media can talk about good times or bad times but people tend to vote on what is happening in their area. Politics is local. To expand on that, the Democrats are notorious for shooting themselves in the foot with their issues and campaign strategies. They choose hills to die on like taking away firearms, having schools teach and facilitate gender change without parental consent or knowledge, throwing the borders open, etc.Nationally some of that may play well but does it play well in southeast Texas or northwest Missouri? So if the economy is down or there is some other major issue going on and the Democrats give up on their identity politics, they have a good shot at the presidency. Hopefully they will hold to their strategy like the movie Idiocracy. If it seems utterly ridiculous, do it!

  15. Gee, I wish we would have thought of that. I mean, 10% for the big guy ring a bell? Aw, nothing to see here. Ukraine….the most corrupt country in the world. But hey, let’s send them hundreds of $billions. No complaints about that war effort funding.

  16. Even if not a soccer fan, the U.S. play on Friday was uplifting. Reading comments from foreign tourists about America is definitely a ‘feel-good’ mentality. The most poignant news take I read from a World Cup fan/tourist was something close to “If you follow the news, you hate America. If you travel around America, you love Americans.” The MOU with Iran is a positive, even though the deal isn’t finalized, and verification is paramount. The final deal may be tougher than the conflict itself. We’ll see. But, I sense a more upbeat feeling this morning. I ran to the store real quick for some milk before all the rain really hit hard. People seemed a lot more positive, and were smiling and talkative.

  18. Not talking points, it’s what your fbi director and his assistant said prior to being sworn in to cover for the government elites kinda like this situation I can’t speak for the Epstein victims. I am sure they fear for their lives from very powerful elites if they outed one of them. I don’t think you can speak for them either but please tell everyone how there was no crime committed. Hard to prove against very powerful people….yes. Does that mean it didn’t happen no.

    You are still a liar and feed alternative truths. Trump is an alleged pedo and the more information comes out about him in the Epstein files the more you speak as if you were there. SMH. [Hidden Content] his friends are seeing the truth beyond your alternative truths.

    Iran War Update

    You do know the Strait of Hormuz was open before Trump and Israel started a war with Iran and now it’s closed. If there is no regime change and a full opening of the Strait nothing changes. Iran knows they have global economic leverage by controlling the Strait. I doubt they give that up but I hope I am wrong. Sure getting tired of these fuel prices and inflation at the grocery store.

  31. Today, President Trump announced that the U.S. Navy has secretly escorted 200 oil tankers out of the SOH. While this is positive news and may have helped temper rising oil prices somewhat, the impact is not substantial enough to prevent a major energy crisis. These 200 tankers transiting the SOH over the past 100 days represent only about 2% of the normal volume—roughly 10,000 ships every 100 days—prior to the war. Furthermore, the U.S. has to deploy major naval and air assets to keep the SOH open. This is not sustainable and works to Iran’s advantage in the long run: Iran can disrupt commerce through the strait with relatively little effort, while the U.S. must risk two carrier battle groups simply to move 2% of the normal amount of oil and gas. - Joe Kent

    Iran War Update

    Well, since all you seem to want to do is come in here and take your pot shots and me and Reagan, you can have it, Porter. Feel free to reuse “pot shots”. Simple Google search: Representative Thomas Massie voted to block President Trump's 2019 national emergency declaration regarding the southern border. [1, 2] He was one of 13 House Republicans who broke party lines in February 2019 to support the resolution overturning the declaration. Massie later joined 14 Republicans in March 2019 to vote with all Democrats to override President Trump's veto of the measure. He justified his votes by asserting that the Constitution grants the power of the purse exclusively to Congress and that a president cannot bypass this by reallocating funds when Congress refuses to approve their spending requests

    I have not been able to watch anything, but I from what I remember: --He brought a knife to a track meet. --He went and sat under another teams tent. --Refused to leave when asked to leave. Is this accurate to what has been going on with the case?
