The middle class shrinking is one of the biggest myths out there, and is used as a way for the government to intervene even more than it already does. This is only one study of many. Yes, the Middle Class Is Shrinking—Because It's Moving Up The real squeeze comes from government-distorted markets, not economic decline.

Eh 5 different schools in 5 years is more uncommon to say the least lol even for a coach

I have zero problem with HI moving from UIL to TCAL. Got to do what's best. Also, HI has really no reason to consolidate with any other ISD. They operate in the black and just passed a bond to improve facilities on all fronts. Are they experiencing growth problems? Yes. But there are many school districts existing in the state of Texas that have fewer students than HI. It certainly isn't necessary to participate in UIL for a school to exist. High Island ISD has it's purpose for it's own community. That's all that matters.

Welp. So much for that. What a waste of bandwidth.

Pending eligibility of course

Amazon is basically the only mail I receive lol

The Bruins went 4-0 today at the Dickinson State Qualifier

What happens next? Hopefully the GOP finds their balls, employs the nuclear option and passes the SAVE act before your commie friends take over (i.e. steal another election) and pack the supreme court, end the electoral college, add Puerto Rico and DC as states, and enact permanent democratic control all while pointing to the other side shouting "threat to democracy".

Brookeland defeats Avery in one game series 17-0 Brookeland advances to state semi-final for second year in a row.

That's 2 series in a row!!! One more is called a series winning streak. It has happened before. Monday L 0-1 Tuesday W 7-4 Wednesday W 6-5 Road trip weekend to houston to take on the astros.

The dems are always going to vote dem. But I always find it fascinating when the "concerned moderates" and "Never Trumpers" that "allegedly" have traditionally voted R, happily pull the lever for D. The Biden presidency was a complete disaster and a stain on our nation's history. Kamala said she'd "change nothing" about it so a vote for Kamala was effectively just an extension of the Biden embarrassment. The only explanation I can come up with for a traditional R to vote D, is that their brain has been broken by TDS and their soul corrupted with hate for the guy. I'm not getting everything I voted for (and none of us ever will), but I'm getting a lot of it. And it's infinitely better than if Kamala was in charge.

Trump loves him some Trump. Father Time will eventually take are of his narcissism. He’s usually instinctual when it comes to making decisions but I think he went against his instincts on the Iran situation imo. Now he can’t find an exit ramp. I’ve worn weary of his antics. Meanwhile average Americans are feeling the financial pain.

His dad posted today he was ineligible and they were going back to Arkansas

Remember that one time... when fans were on here talking about how he needed to be fired? Good times.

Well this issue goes all the way back to covid, with several factors at play. 1, Declining enrollment and no new people moving in the district because all new houses being built are air bnbs 2, This was a projected problem with the hopes that move ins would come the the district, but at this point until "the ike group" gets thru you still have those low numbers because those kids never came back. (only 4 graduating seniors this year. 3. The strongest athletic group is in 6th grade so numbers will rise again, and a new school building with a gym ect will help. Also in the next year or two new football stadium and softball/baseball fields will attract kids to come play, hopefully. Hope this helps y'all, Also the jump to t-cal will be done in two year cycles and reevaluated.

Trolling at it’s finest CB - noticing no one will have a serious conversation with you?

WooHoo, we won the series vs the Cubbies!!! Friday L 1-7 Saturday W 6-0 Sunday W 3-0 The diamondbacks are coming to Arlington Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. Season record: 19-21

I was disappointed in the Brooks’ firing because I like the man a lot and thought he had earned at least another year. Having said that, Jeff hasn’t whiffed on a hire yet and has gotten in the weeds to find some. I would expect this one to be no different.

Lunceford is a great pitcher and student...he exemplifies PN-G's core values of HONOR, PRIDE, and TRADITION. Happy for all of these kids and coaches. GO INDIANS!!!

Boys Jr Rylee Simas is State Champion in the Triple jump with a personal best 45.5 jump Girls Jr Paige Powell took second in High Jump and 9th in long jump.

PNG wins 5-4 to advance. They will play Kingwood Park. Graduation next week makes scheduling a little tricky

The big picture is when the Iran conflict is over, fuel will get back in line and all these other things will drive the economy. I'm getting more comfortable that by August things will be in line and better than pre-Iran prices.

Trump said China will be sending oil tankers to Texas, Louisiana and Alaska to buy oil. Also said they are going to purchase 200 passenger jets. Will also need 400 jet engines from GE. And said will be purchasing a massive amount of soy beans and farm equipment. Looks like wins for America to me!

I saw no data backing anything claimed in the first article. That makes it opinion, at best. Their second articles stated “by our definitions”. If you set the definitions and cherry pick your data, any point can be made. That don’t make it right. Anybody who interprets economic data is doing it to support an agenda. Gotta take all of it with a box of salt. Right, left, or center.

Went to Rusk at one point

I am curious, if his twin brother is going to another school. How is his transfer going to be approved? I guess his parents are getting divorced, or are seperated? I am curious if this staff is going to develop any QB's or just continue to rent them for a season. Love my Eagles, but this seems to be a growing trend with this new Head Coach.

Franklin 3 Brazos 2 final

True

My Father grew up poor living on a house boat and helping his Dad trap and shrimp for a living. He made a good life for himself but never forgot his childhood and never left me forget how comfortable I had it and to work hard to keep it.

I like Trump's approach!

Josh Allen is a good example.

Has happened both ways. Many people would rate Chavis McCollister among the greatest high school players of all time. Yet, he received little to no college interest.

I thought McCullers did well after the HR on the 3rd pitch of the game. King can’t throw the 3rd strike to end a game. It’s probably the toughest strike to throw, but it needs to be done.

In my career and most careers, you are graded on performance and what you do to improve the "business" I grade my Presidents the same way. I grade on what they do for me/family (selfishly because my family comes before anything else) - them what they do for the Country. Despite his Oval office issues, Clinton gets good grades from me, he balanced the budget - Obama royally screwed up healthcare - and started the divide of the country with his big mouth and "beer summit" - So, he was worthless IMO. I gave two examples with mentioning current or previous President😎

I wouldn’t be worried, either, if I’d tripled my net worth in the last 15 months since taking office. Funny facts… the ufc is holding fights on the White House lawn in a couple of weeks. Dana white is on record stating that the UFC isn’t collecting a gate at all… they aren’t charging admission to the fights. They’re going to seat 4,000 “guests” of Trump. The price for ringside seats is a cool million bucks apiece, supposedly. Anybody want to guess if any of what dough will end up in the Treasury? Because it won’t. It’s a direct donation to Trump. [Hidden Content] His butt sniffers won’t care.

My apologies OlDawg. This wasn't how I wanted this thread to stay up top of forum page. Also, the clock is ticking on CB/TMB.

Alvarez in a bit of a slump right now but nothing like Seattle's Raleigh. Last year's MVP is now 0/37 in his last 39 plate appearances. Batting .157 on the season. Wow, what a difference a year makes. I thought Lambert pitched well last night. 7 innings pitched, 6 hits, 3 ER's, 8 K's, 1 BB. He has been Houston's best starter this season. Team best 2.76 ERA with 29 innings pitched, 29 K's, 12 BB's. Astros offense has taken a little dive over the last few games but the pitching has improved somewhat. Team batting average has dropped from .269 to .258 but team ERA has dropped from 6.37 to 5.50. Batting average is still top 3 in MLB but ERA is still the worse in MLB.

No, it’s not… according to you it is, but that’s because your side is trampling everybody else. The fact that patriots have tried three times now to eliminate the greatest threat that America has had in 250 years says that everything isn’t “doing just fine,” and if the Dems were doing the exact same things, you wouldn’t feel like things were going peachy. There will be an equal and opposite reaction, and it will be a bitter pill for people who think that taking a massive dump on half of America is okay.

I think he nails it pretty well [Hidden Content]

This is Reagan in a nutshell. Smh

You’re missing a key point. Gerrymandering won’t matter in the midst of a senseless mismanaged war and $5.00 gasoline. Trump owns that whether he thinks so or not. He’s commander in chief until the buck stops, then he takes no responsibility. The whole party is going to pay. Any map they draw will have at least 10% independents. Enough to close any gap.

Nederland head baseball position might come open.....

Can’t add anything to what Aggie covered. On your quotes, we should all be concerned. Numbers 3&4 really jump out at me. I’m not a member of the Republican Party, but their conservative views align more with what I believe. Democrats have lost touch with what Americans want and have zero policy. Their collusion with communists and Islamist is very worrisome. Siding with criminals is unacceptable and will trigger vigilante justice if not curbed.

Outfield (infield is turfed) in Hammond has been deemed unplayable. Lamar will be the 2 seed regardless of the outcome of today's game against HCU. LU has replaced most of the starting position players and did not bring the starting pitcher after getting in only a half inning of yesterday's game.

Harrel was a player but was enrolled at the Pathways Center (BISD alternative learning center). I was speaking about Briscoe. Evidently Harrel has had trouble at school as to why he is at Pathways.

Why? Its their prerogative. If their ISD is sound, they are financially secure and their academics are good, there is no pressing need to merge with anyone else for the sake of sports. Its has a very solid B rating (86). Some outside opinions may think otherwise, but its a decision left solely up to their community. If its a successful ISD, they know what's best for them.
