  1. 👍🏼 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?

  4. 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).

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

    OK Dennis Stewart, Hull Daisetta girls coach is returning to Leggett as AD/Head Coach. Stewart was here earlier and did quite well going to playoffs Regional and state. Look forward to another round of good basketball. I think he can remould this team into something viable.

    Conspiracy theory, like I said. There is no proof, only theories and accusations. I’ve read the Secretary of State’s Election Handbook. I worked elections for 40 years. They are impossible to rig on a national basis, or state for that matter. I pay close attention to rules and facts. You apparently pay close attention to propaganda.

    To be quite honest, I don't hate are have i’ll feelings toward anyone on the board. Truth be told I have a good friend on here who we disagree a lot about on the forum. When we are off this forum we check on each other. I don't take it personal neither does he or Regan. We're retired and just sitting under the palmetto tree talking trash. I am just a cloud with no rain passing time. I agree with mat.

  18. 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

  27. 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.

  28. 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.

  38. The smoke screens are always there. Maybe 15 years ago, there was a case of police officers with a valid warrant went into a guy’s home looking for marijuana. After entry was made the suspect went for a gun that was shot and killed. The narrative in some media accounts and the usual anti police crowd was that the resident was killed for selling marijuana. How ludicrous can they be? Apparently quite a lot. The guy wasn’t killed because he possessed marijuana. He was killed because he went for a gun to shoot the police. How many police shootings start off as a minor traffic offense, but the driver, unbeknownst to the officer, has just committed a major crime somewhere and is getting away or perhaps it’s committing a felony at that moment in the car? In such cases the drivers weren’t shot because they were speeding or had an expired license plate. It’s like the same in some of these cases. The media makes a big deal of, “He wasn’t the target of the investigation!”. What has that got to do with the use of force? That’s a trick question. The answer is absolutely nothing. If the officers are wrong, then I hope they get indicted. It needs to come from the facts of the situation and not whether he was the target or simply because he was fleeing. The smoke screens are a targeted response to keep from getting at the facts.

    Slight lean in favor of Montgomery due to RB Keldrid Ben. He's not the biggest, fastest, or most elusive RB, but defenders just bounce off of him. You are not going to arm tackle him. Even when a defender puts a good hit on him, you better bring some friends to get him on the ground. He can take a hit, keep his balance, and keep going.

    Huntsville problem may not be the reload part.. they always got the athletes. It’s the bonehead penalties. That was a very sloppy team last year when it came to that and shot themselves in the foot a lot.

  45. Sooooooooooo.....here's the damn deal. Both H-D and Hardin are state ranked teams this year coming in. Hardin has always had the advantage when it comes to size. I have not been out to see either teams play this year. I can tell you this though. Most of you reading this post have no idea what it means to be a Bobcat, nor carry the pride and honor it takes to represent wear the red & black uniform. Hardin definitely has the talent this year to make a splash in 2A and carry themselves deep into the playoffs. The two teams match up pretty evenly on paper, but Hull-Daisetta carries a distinct advantage. It's called heart. Call CNN for this one, cause the Bobcats are going to stomp a mudhole into the Hornets that puts the Daisetta sinkhole to shame. As far as test scores go Hornet fans....let's try a math question. Add the number of victories H-D holds over Hardin with the number of times Lifeflight has been called in to haul one of your players off the field during our games, and tell me what number you come up with?!?

  47. This should be a good one, Hardin is strong on defense this year, but have struggled offensively in the scrimmages. Hardin will have the edge in depth, HD's passing game could be better. HD is gonna have to throw the ball, they won't rush against Hardin's run defense. I'm going to say (hope) Hardin wins big, but I am a littled biased. This has always been a big rivalry, Hardin is supposed to win with them being 2A and HD being 1A, but this should be exciting. Hardin by 3 touchdowns.
