  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. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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!

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

    Iran War Update

    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.

  24. I'm just curious, but with somebody as high-profile as this family with it being a high-profile school such as BH, how come very few if ANY, knows any accurate information regarding this kid and where he's playing in 2026 and the details? This has been going on for MONTHS now and nothing is definitive ? How so. It's like listening to CNN and FoxNews reporting on the Peace Agreement between Iran and USA around here.

  25. Unless Channelview were to vastly improve, just like Jasper might. If Jasper only slightly improves off of 2-8 and 1-4, it wont matter just like your example of Channelview slightly improving. What I am saying is, it really doesn't matter who improves, as long as someone does, then it in turn benefits the others. So Jasper itself is not unique. Playing a stronger schedule is what really matters. I am all for that.

  28. 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?

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.

    Iran War Update

    Actually, I expect our enemies to announce assassination plans for our leader. They never announced assassination plans for Biden or Obama because they knew they were bad for America while alive, which implies pure weakness on leadership. Iran has been negotiating for decades. Trump is the only president to hit them militarily. Which one shows weakness again???? Your sign-off is exactly what you do everyday.

    You don’t even realize the idiocy of your logic. If Democrats were cheating they would be the ones in power. That and the fact Trump is 0-11 in the courts trying to prove it. It is an insidious lie.

  35. We do have the internet. Why don’t you find a statement by another president in the public record and prove me wrong? There are public records of many sorts dating all the way back to 1789. I looked and I couldn’t find one. Unless you can my statement stands as fact.

  37. Curious what y'all think. La Porte is an open enrollment ISD. So, you don't hear me complain about transfers. But, when a coach is given an opportunity, then leaves for another opportunity they see as a step up, I'm not sure I'm fond of them reaching back to the school that gave them their opportunity in the first place and poaching top players from that program. I'd like to think there would be some type of 'gentleman's agreement' about that sort of thing. Probably naive on my part. But--to me--this is a little different than just the typical transfer situations we see on a regular basis. Thoughts, while we wait out the last 45 days?

    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!!!

  40. So you know for a fact that no sitting president ever celebrated a death? Washington? Jefferson? Lincoln? Roosevelt? Harding? Any of the first 20?? I didn't like that Trump did it but I don't think anyone can factually state that he is the only sitting president to ever do it.

  43. Yes sir they are in the district of doom in 12. District 13 in region 4 that we are paired with consists of Bruceville-Eddy, Hearne, Moody, Granger, Marlin, Rosebud-Lott, and thorndale. Don’t know much about any of those teams I know hearne has had decent teams In the past and so has marlin and rosebud Lott but they’ve all been pretty down lately. Definitely a much better chance of getting out of the first round than the district we’ve been getting paired with the last 4 seasons!
