👍🏼 I did a simple Google search of how many people are killed every year by medical malpractice in the US. The answer was 250,000 to 440,000. I asked how many people every year were killed by the police and it was about 1,300. So the average person is more than 300 times more likely (30,000%) to be killed by a doctor or nurse than the police. Also note that nearly anyone can be killed by medical malpractice but the number of people who come into dangerous confrontations with the police are extremely limited. The situation is almost always initiated by a criminal suspect, not the police. So for the average citizen he/she is probably 500 times more likely a person dies at the hands of a doctor than the police (and most are justified unlike medical malpractice) yet do the medical professions get disparaged because of those statistics?

Still being researched, we don't know if it was poor decision or right decision. All I know is when the lights come on behind me, I pullover and turn my vehicle off, roll my windows down, take my wallet out and put my hands on the wheel....... If I get shot, it will be so obvious it was the cops fault, there will be no need for research.

Probably not fair to judge the whole ICE program by a couple of poor officer decisions. Just like cops, a couple of poor decisions doesn’t make the police bad.

Oh the outrage!!! Lower a flag? How about just standing up...which is what the entire dem side of congress couldn't do for a young black boy suffering from brain cancer (State of the Union)...or mothers of the women who were raped and murdered by illegals. You're talking about 1 man lowering a flag when your entire party can't even muster enough integrity to stand.. LOL at the selective outrage!

BH just sent the PAPF recently over...If I was a betting man I'd bet there will be boxes checked

Chad Allen was named the new AD/HC.

Because Vidor is always loaded with athletes. No reason why they should not be winning.

The theory cant work for any team. Channelview improving slightly wont help NS. But NS playing at a high level has definitely elevated SC and CEK. What is unique about Jasper is the tradition of success. Crumedy went 4 rounds deep into December just 3 years ago. 2018 we met them at Lamar in the 3rd round. We all know the expectations with the new staff in place. This will be a major improvement over the next few years.

Where is the evidence Mueller threatened to put anyone in jail for life? I just can’t fathom the idea of wishing the death of another human. If someone maliciously threatened my family illegally I would want them prosecuted to the full extent of the law. But dead? That goes against my Christian beliefs.

Core inflation does not include food or energy…..you know the 2 things we use daily and sometimes multiple times a day. When I see those 2 things come down I’ll clap but hey that’s great news.

It’s a public forum… people are gonna discuss things lol

Jasper getting better makes us all better

It only took 3 post for Trump to come up....lol You brought up Trump in a post that had NOTHING to do with him. Why? Mueller went after Trump and his entire family over bogus information. If someone went after my family and threatened to put them in jail for life, I'm sure I'd feel the same way if it was malicious......

Couldn't get the sweep but we got the series dub over that other team. 💪🏾 1st place in the division. On to the all-star break........

Interviews monday and Tuesday.

Astros are currently 2 games back of Texas. Houston is 47-50, Rangers are 48-47.

Semi finals

I usually research my posts before posting them. I didn’t on this one. My apologies.

Lol, per Grok. Like I said we’re still being played. He’s not playing 9D chess like you think so. No, this is not true—it’s sensationalized hype, likely from a clickbait video or post. youtube.com The core claims (a “secret geopolitical chess move” by the US and Oman that stripped Iran of its Hormuz leverage, trapping them with a surrender-or-global-war ultimatum while the world was distracted by “ceasefire headlines”) do not match available reporting. Here’s the actual context as of mid-2026: Background on the Strait of Hormuz situation • The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments. Iran has long claimed significant influence and has threatened or disrupted shipping during tensions. • There was a US-Iran war or major conflict phase earlier in 2026, followed by a fragile memorandum of understanding (MoU)/ceasefire framework in June that aimed to reopen the strait for normal (toll-free) commercial traffic. apnews.com • Tensions flared again recently: Iran (or elements acting in its name) attacked vessels in/near the strait, violating the understanding. The US responded with strikes on Iranian targets, declared the ceasefire “over” (while agreeing to continued talks at Iran’s request), and reinforced naval presence. foxnews.com Trump’s statements and US position Trump has repeatedly stated that the strait must remain open to everyone as international waters, with no single country controlling it. The US has positioned forces to “watch over” it, helped facilitate ship transits (including “Project Freedom” and reported secret operations moving oil), issued sanctions, and set deadlines/ultimatums for Iran to stop attacks on shipping. dw.com This is public rhetoric and policy, not a hidden revelation. Oman’s role Oman (a neutral mediator with ties to both sides) has hosted or facilitated talks. Iranian and Omani officials have discussed “safe passage” mechanisms, bilateral issues, and possible joint arrangements for the strait. There have been proposals involving fees/service charges (which the US opposes for an international waterway) and coordination along Omani routes. aljazeera.com This is diplomatic mediation and bilateral talks, not a secret US-Oman plot to “strip” Iran’s leverage. Shipping has continued with risks, US naval support, and alternative routing emphasis. aljazeera.com The “ultimatum” The US is demanding Iran publicly affirm the strait is open and stop shooting at ships as a condition for de-escalation. Talks continue in Oman. Iran has pushed back, cited errors or factions, and insists on its rights/sovereignty. No credible reports describe Iran as “trapped with nowhere to turn” or facing an all-or-nothing choice that inevitably triggers “devastating all-out global war.” bbc.com Why the claim is misleading • Exaggerated drama: Ceasefire violations, strikes, and talks are ongoing and reported—not a “hidden maneuver” while the world was distracted. • No evidence of a game-changing secret deal: US-Oman coordination exists in the context of mediation and freedom-of-navigation operations. Iran’s leverage is reduced by military pressure and parallel routing, but it retains territorial waters, rhetoric, and some disruption capability. aljazeera.com • Typical clickbait framing: These posts often mix real tensions (Hormuz incidents, Trump statements, Oman talks) with conspiracy-style hype to imply imminent catastrophe or genius 4D chess. Real risks exist—disruptions to energy markets, escalation potential, and fragile diplomacy—but the situation is fluid negotiations backed by military posturing, not a cornered Iran on the brink of world war. Mainstream coverage (from multiple outlets) reflects this without the apocalyptic spin.

Last year, La Porte lost their DC to Shadow Creek. Now, LP’s All District Edge/OLB Caden Watson transferred to Shadow Creek. Was curious why he wasn’t in DCTF mag. Now, I know why.

This feels like an “argument for arguments sake” topic.

Ahhh the age old question, is the coach or the players? Seems to me the actual answer is somewhere in between…

Bannon is a scumbag. But LOL at anything related to "threat to democracy" or "pillars of democracy" coming from a dem, whose party unilaterally installed an unelected Kamala as their candidate. And is about to hand-pick a senator replacement for your rapist in Maine.

Being a coon-ajun, that’s spot on!

I'd keep my eye on Beaumont United. If they stay healthy lookout... 🤷🏾‍♂️ (They wont be beating us though) 😁

Yeah, our first district game is North Shore. It’s highly likely that game is decided by the end of the first quarter. Not sure how he expects me or any of the Crosby fans to discuss that if that was considered whining, lol?

I beg to differ. I graduated from Vidor in the 90s. I was in school and played when Vidor had the pleasure of playing North Shore, WB, Central, LaPorte, the Baytown schools, etc... and we did not avoid the program. The sidelines were packed with players. We looked forward to two-a-days, we looked forward to Friday night lights. Also, had the pleasure of playing for Vidor in its first year in 4A (20-4A). Again, the sidelines were packed with players. Never mattered to us if we went 0-10 or 5-5... we packed the sidelines with players. So, to me the decline in players is due to current coaching. Players want something new. They are tired of the same old offense. They want to be able to throw and catch. They want to be excited. The late, great Dan Hooks once said... You'll know when you're done playing Vidor because they'll hit you in the mouth for 48 minutes.... That was said back in the 90s.

I think we need to get back to being one of the more physical teams in the area, which has been lacking especially on the lines. People have been getting in the way more than they push people and affect plays. Once that changes, I think we'll improve quickly.

Or maybe he ran because he had illegal drugs in the vehicle- what a boy scout [Hidden Content]

That’s the best news I’ve heard in a long time.

Well this isn't rocket science. Nor chemical cooking neither. But its easy to understand when the level of competition has grown so will the teams they compete against. Some teams schedule tough pre-district to help prepare. Do u think your team would be better if they played down or punched up?

Don’t waste ur time he supports the murder of babies but yet celebrating a death of evil is worse.

Looks like anything is possible with this district. Quite a few teams lost key players in the 26 graduating class. But..... BC returns some key defensive players and their QB, LCM returning a QB and always has size, Lumberton returning their QB and a RB and always has some size, I'm not as familiar with Vidor but if they run the Slot T correctly it's hard to defend, Livingston has had great athletes in the past but not great coaching from what I am told, Huffman is always a well disciplined team. I don't really know much about the Liberty team. Looking forward to this football season.

Does that mean there was no election fraud? It was a lottery style program, where anyone, Republican or Democrat in swing states could sign a petition supporting the 1st and 2nd amendments. There was not requirement to vote for Trump or even vote at all. I would not call that election interference. If Texas was a swing state and a Democrat offered that, I sign up and try to win the million.....and then vote Republican.

Well I believe there was election interference and fraud in 2020. I don’t believe the vegetable got 81 million votes.

I was under the impression from the know it alls we were weak under the last administration.. seems they know now who they can bully.. clown in chief Waaa

We all know Obamacare destroyed healthcare but Trump has had the trifecta twice in DC! The excuses are nauseating!

Ain’t it funny how no one likes good news? There’s nothing to gripe about. Makes for a boring day when things show improvement. Healthcare is squarely on Hussein Obama, and education went south when Carter created the department.

Both parties including Trumps have just about equally ran up a 40 trillion dollar debt that has destroyed the dollar and just keep spending trillions more a year than we take in. They’ve destroyed healthcare, education, etc…The Uniparty is alive and well. Government serves government! What a celebration!!!

Yes it's been years since they've been asking about it but I'm glad that it may come to fruition now.

Fox News: According to the medical examiner, the preliminary examination found Graham suffered an aortic dissection due to arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

Well….that was sudden. He was in Ukraine 2 days ago meeting with Zelenskyy about the war Trump was going to end within 24 hours of him being sworn in as President. Of course here we are a year and half later. Has anyone seen Mitch McConnell who was taken away in an ambulance about a month ago?

The Trump Effect.

7-3 dub in game 1.

News dropped yesterday. Wasn’t quite this late. Happend couple weeks ago.

That 2008 playoff game went into 3 OTs.
