It’s claimed logic that I don’t understand. Let’s see, he is in a patrol vehicle with lights, he is wearing police gear, he has a badge and patches that say police but I can’t see his face so it might not be the police. Oh wait, I can clearly see his eyes and nose now, yep, that’s a cop because I can see his eyes and nose!! Because you can tell by a person’s profession by his face? That would be like me walking through the mall and pointing at someone and saying, that’s a firefighter, that’s a nurse, that’s a secretary……

I am not that emotional about it. (evidently you are) No hate here. Just call it like I see it. Several teams have put a beat down on my Tigers this year. Not surprised of that fact considering how down they are this year. I don't make assessments based on my home town team losing a game. I think I am a little more credible than that.

In Plumhoff v. Rickard, the Supreme Court issued a ruling on a police vehicle chase that ended up in a parking lot with the suspect vehicle stopped briefly and surrounded by police cars or officers. The driver backed up in a U-turn and took off again, almost striking officers. The vehicle was then past all officers so none were in direct danger. Officers opened fire into the back of the fleeing vehicle, killing the driver and passenger. The ruling was unanimous that the use of force was lawful. Even though no officers were in direct line of the vehicle at that time, to continue the chase would endanger the public and officers. In Graham v. Connor the police mistakenly thought that Graham might have been involved in an armed robbery. When they stopped him, he was acting irrationally and jumping around outside of the car. The officers used force on Graham and I believe broke his foot. It turns out that Graham was having a diabetic crisis and was completely innocent. So the officers mistakenly stopped the vehicle that he was riding in and then mistook his serious medical crisis as resistance. Graham sued all the way to the Supreme Court. A unanimous Supreme Court ruling said that the officers’ use the force was reasonable under the circumstances as they appeared to be to the officers actually at the scene. In their writing, the Supreme Court said that the officers had to make split second decisions and it was not something that could be decided calmly months later in a judge’s chambers. It’s not difficult. If you use force against officers or if you are told to stop and you don’t, you might be opening yourself up to having lawful force or deadly force used against you. The Supreme Court does not appear to be sympathetic to people who resist because they believe in a cause. The First Amendment guarantees the right of the people peaceably to assemble. Blocking or obstructing the police or using force against them is not a peaceable assembly. Just sayin’…..

They seem to have figured out who to throw stuff at, maybe if the left wasn’t doxxing ICE agents, they wouldn’t have to cover their face. ICE is doing nothing wrong, simply doing their job.

I guess the big badge, handcuffs, gun and vest with huge ICE or HSE across it is not enough for someone to know who they are LOL. That's a clown take. If your ilk weren't out there doxxing and threatening them, they wouldn't have to wear a mask.

I may have to set up across the street and pay cash.

My thoughts are it is hard to argue with this list, both because it looks really good to me and because I am pretty certain no one has seen more of these teams play than you…

Looking at criminal records and such, the left finds some questionable people to support. I think the “mother of 3” had at least 2 of her children taken away. Surely being a possible terrible mother doesn’t justify any use of force but there sometimes seems to be a pattern of who is supported.

The local police chiefs in some cities have been disgusting. They are an embarrassment to the profession. That’s because police chiefs are often chosen for political reasons and not law enforcement reasons.

Okay, some new information to look at. I watched a video from Nate the Lawyer on YouTube. It covered the view from the a cell phone that the agent was holding (not a body cam). We probably all have seen it. But, looking at it again, it changes part of the narrative. The officer is did not step in front the vehicle as some on social media have claimed. He was being taunted by the wife as she was trying to get in the vehicle. The driver turned her wheels to the left and backed up. That swung her vehicle to the right and pointed her car at the officer. She then put it in gear and drove at him. Intentional? Accidental? I don’t think it matters. There have been so many claims, however, that the officer stepped in front of the vehicle in order to justify shooting. Looking at it again, it does not appear to be true. He was standing near the headlight to the passenger side of the vehicle. The driver backed up the vehicle, pointing it at the agent and then turned into him and drove forward. So many of the accusations from the start seem to be jumping the gun or wishful thinking to make ICE look bad. I know that for the people who have made up their minds, it will not matter. The decision on fault was likely made immediately and it won’t change. We sometimes get the qualifying comments of, I support the police but the agent should not have stepped in front of her. Well…. it turns out that he didn’t.

What you posted says nothing about trouncing Cornyn (not made by you) and the article that you posted was there site’s believe in a win and but the poll numbers. I remember on election night in 2024 the NY Times kept an updated likelihood of who was going to win. Later in the night as the swing states started coming in, the “likelihood” of a Harris win kept going down. It wasn’t the point spread but the odds of winning. I don’t doubt that Paxton has a better chance of winning. The latest poll that I saw from 3 weeks ago had Paxton at 29% and Cornyn and Hunt both having 25%. If anything neat that holds, there will be a runoff. I have seen no poll showing Paxton with 50% in the last several months. So a company thinks that there is a 2/3 chance that Paxton holds onto his lead. Probably. However, Paxton’s biggest challenge might be if Hunt edges by Cornyn and sets up a Paxton and Hunt runoff. Psrt of Paxton’s negatives certainly come from the perception of his legal dealings, accusations of corruption including bribery, impeachment and divorce. In fact that is probably keeping Cornyn close. Paxton likely isn’t seen as favorable as much as Cornyn being a bigger negative. Hunt could potentially upset the applecart if he can gain some late traction. Paxton and Cornyn are probably seen like Hillary Clinton vs Trump in 2020. Both were unpopular but who was seen with the least amount of negatives. If it comes down to Paxton and Hunt, Hunt might be seen as the shing light Just points to ponder…. .

Would love to see the Tigers win Tuesday, but I got BC taking this one by 10. Jasper is a horrific basketball team, so I can't tell if the Tigers have gotten any better or not based on last Friday's result.

Center has some of the nicest facilities in East Texas. The practice field is identical to the one in Marshall.

Never mind. You’re so caught up in your emotions that you can’t even recognize when someone is giving your son his props. Instead of accepting that, you turn every comment into a back-and-forth, like a tennis match, just to keep driving your point home. And trust me — we understand the point. He’s great. He has no flaws. Everything that goes wrong is the team’s fault. If it weren’t for him, they’d be completely lost. Message received. Repeatedly. What could have been a simple acknowledgment has turned into a lecture, and honestly, it’s exhausting. Not everything needs to be defended, corrected, or escalated just to prove superiority. That said, I genuinely hope he and his team have a great season. No sarcasm there. God bless, and good night.

I’m guessing #21 is your son based on how strongly you’re defending him — and that’s totally fine. Nobody said he was a bad player. The point is, it’s tough to win big when one guy dominates the ball. I actually know the kid well — he played for my guy this summer. So this isn’t shade, it’s just basketball. Talent needs structure, and winning takes more than one

I might’ve gotten in a fist fight over that. But maybe not if I was a cop.

J.C. Higgins was a name that covered a wide range of sporting goods. I had a J.C. Higgins basketball and baseball glove. I believe J.C. Higgins was a name use by Sears to market their products. Stevens was bought by Savage but I believe they still produced guns under the Stevens name. My recollection may be hindered by brain fog, but there it is. It seems we all shopped at Sears. Maybe we crossed paths and didn’t realize it. Lol

To continue with those type sentiments….

Exhibit B now posted, lol.

Got nothing against guns or gun owners. All about personal preferences. I have gone 62 years without owning a gun. My life has been good.

Next to the last paragraph..... The bill goes to the Senate, where it is expected to die, although it may help Republicans lay groundwork to work on a potential bipartisan solution to tame health insurance premiums, while dealing with the rampant waste, fraud, and abuse that comes with enhanced subsidies. Another thing is the Senate has enough Republicans that are lock step with Trump and do not have enough votes to override any VETO Trump may do.....

yeah, I do as well. I accumulate and rarely sell. I did trade two a couple years back for a nicer one that my dad was trying to get rid of. It cracks me up because most of the guns brought in are complete junk.

I’ve got the first gun I ever owned. None will ever be for sale. This buyback sounds fishy to me, but you will have some loonies give theirs up.

The BC Senior boys have been waiting for this season for a long time. They have been playing together since 5-6 years old. Played Travel ball together. Won National championships together. Daspit set them up great with a tough pre-season even though the football boys showed up late due to a long playoff run, then a bunch came down sick in December. That HJ game was a wash because they pretty much played the BC JV team with several sick kids. The early PNG and Nederland games were when the football boys just got there. They didn’t even have footing yet. Even though the record that they have right now doesn’t look great, they have played some very tough teams and the losses were not by much. These aren’t excuses but it’s understandable who they were playing with at those times. When district started, their mindset changed, I know my son's did. He’s in a zone now and his goal as a leader is a District Championship. These games are what matter. Like @Setxhasbeen said, when those boys start firing on all cylinders, they’re a hard group to beat!

Only seen WB one time this year and it was for this game… but the eye test to me… I feel like they are better than last years squad. They are extremely talented. Best Basketball in the state of Texas is played in Beaumont.

there's articles from legitimate sources where Good's wife is quoted as blaming herself for making her go to the protests. Her mother is straight up lying.

Yea - I think she was fleeing versus attempting to run over the agent - BUT, how would he know?.....He was also the same agent back in June that was dragged by a protestors car and needed to he hospitalized......His alert level was probably way up there.....

I don't think for a minute that she was attempting to run over the ICE officer, but rather she panicked and tried to get away when she realized she was actually going to face some consequences for her dumb behavior. She was likely focused on the officer screaming at her through her window and trying to open her door. that doesn't change the fact that she accelerated directly at an ICE officer and either almost hit him or actually did hit him before he fired. this was clearly a justified shooting. It's wild to me that the mayor is getting away with making up a story where the series of events are completely contradicted by multiple videos of what actually happened.

West Brook on ball pressure from the guards is something to see. Now that they are healthy , they are picking up full court. Making it difficult for opposing guards to get into their offense . If they can keep this up they may bring another one back !!!

Pollok Central 49 Newton 40

Pineywoods 47 Woodville 37

Hj. 105. Lib. 41. Final.

Not surprising at all honestly…Vidor couldn’t handle the defense at all. BC has been playing nothing by 5A & 6A. They’ve been battle tested and we hope they keep this up! 71-49 BC final Starters pulled out at a 40 point lead.

And some thought this idiot, along with the idiot Kamala the Ugandan Warrior, was fit to run this country. Shows what that voting sector knows. Thank God they didn’t win. #MAGA

Of the 30 teams I have listed, there's only two teams I have yet to lay eyes on. Trinity and Beaumont Legacy. My team total so far this season is at 67.

Somali mess is fake news. I posted my thoughts on Maduro under the maduro thread.

😂

Factual?

My Remington pump .22 will shoot shorts, longs, and long rifle. Patent dates are 1909, 10, &12. Probably made around 1935.

I think this says it all…..

I tend to agree. I would make OF a 4-5 point favorite. Not sure where some of these people are getting double digit win.

Diboll won, 61-55. I will delete your earlier post.

Insane game! Montana State wins!
