👍🏼 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?

It's a crying shame that we/us as a nation, live and die on every word one man says. What happened to loving your neighbor, minding your own business, and living life?? All I see now is EVERYONE fighting about this and that... Does it really matter that much? NOOOO! Turn off the damn news and go on about your business. Tell someone with different beliefs hi and go on. Life is too damn short to be fighting/arguing all the time! FYI... NO one is right when it comes to fighting/arguing and trying to prove a point. **I voted for President Trump (both times).

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!

I agree. Way too much Chicken Little going on here.

I didn’t listen to the entire show but the part I did listen to they didn’t mention Port Arthur. Port Arthur is the King of this district until someone kicks them off their throne. They said Laporte made a run last year. That run was into the Bi-District round. No disrespect to Laporte. Just repeating what those uninformed individuals said. They also each have a love affair with Lufkin for some reason. Maybe I am off my meds with these predictions but here are mine: 1. PAM 2. Laporte 3. Beaumont Westbrook 4. New Caney 5. Beaumont United 6. Lufkin 7. Goose Creek Memorial 8. Baytown Sterling 9. Galveston Ball

If it were up to me, this particular forum wouldn't exist. I wouldn't miss it one bit.

UIL just converted to Rankone for PAPFs. It was not available till July 1st. No PAPFs could be processed sooner for any school in the state.

Only 41 days sounds better. 😁

DCTX Broadcast Schedule from Houston Friday 6pm-7pm DCTX Rising at Dick's House of Sport in Katy Sunday 11am-2pm Texas Football Today from the THSCA Convention Monday 11am-2pm Texas Football Today from the THSCA Convention Tuesday 9am-10am TepAndStepp Live from the THSCA Convention

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.

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.

Look at the comments and links posted above, he appears to have been enrolled in BH for a few months and even played in the Spring Game, with a whole arss news article write up on him. That's what I mean about this going on for several months without a resolution. Like, what in the world is happening here.

Ah this makes sense. Appreciate the information.

I hear ya. Going to be interesting. Also, gotta ask, why in the world has BH waited so long to submit the form?

Where is this roster? If it's Maxpreps, don't believe it.

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.

Defensive Coordinator Jarrett Thibodeaux named Athletic Director and Head Football Coach at Hull-Daisetta Hull-Daisetta ISD welcomes new athletic director

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?

1. lumberton 2. huffman 3. bridge city 4. LCM 5. Vidor 6. Livingston 7. Liberty Vidor and LCM could go either way Vidor will definitely have a better season compared to last years, but they arent going to be able to stop the other bigger and faster offenses in the disrict such as lcm, bridge city, huffman or lumberton.

There is no evidence in the public record. That doesn’t mean a few haven’t thought it or even said it privately. There are no statements on the record, however.

I think you are about to see a huge push from our military....more than the last couple days

You aren't held to a higher standard as a sitting president that is the difference. Non the less he is a lame president and he has lost control of the house.

I didn’t take it that way. Have a good evening.

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 I have spent over a year building a collection of data on start up costs. New school opens in January. Once we are fully operational there our district will be able to analyze the costs with our budget. The toughest part starting a football program is the start up costs as even when we start Jh only first we still have to buy all the start up equipment for the field to host games etc. I am 100% trying to make this happen. We have 3 coaches total on staff with varsity assistant football coaching experience including myself but yes we will be bringing in more coaches. we are open enrollment and always have been in my ten years here (not sure how long it’s been that way but before my time for sure). The biggest benefit to us adding football will be keeping kids in district. I’ve lost many talented players to neighboring districts because we don’t have football. We have a super strict policy when the district lets kids in based on their test scores, grades and discipline. That stuff won’t change. I want to add football as soon as we can and working hard on it. The community is young enough now that the majority want it as well for their kids. We saw just from the few sports we added in soccer, golf and wrestling the increase in our athletic department numbers which is a great first step to what we want. I hope Coldspring finds a good AD, they have some amazing kids and lots of talent for all sports that they should bounce back very soon especially with what they have in JH currently.

Lindsey Graham truly loved Trump. Strange relationship.

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?
