👍🏼 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 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.

Yeah, our first district game is North Shore. It’s highly likely that game is decided by the end of the first quarter. Not sure how he expects me or any of the Crosby fans to discuss that if that was considered whining, lol?

Hopefully R's keep control Nov, im sure you'll be on suicide watch if not... 😂🫡💪🏽

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.

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

I think we need to get back to being one of the more physical teams in the area, which has been lacking especially on the lines. People have been getting in the way more than they push people and affect plays. Once that changes, I think we'll improve quickly.

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.

Does that mean there was no election fraud? It was a lottery style program, where anyone, Republican or Democrat in swing states could sign a petition supporting the 1st and 2nd amendments. There was not requirement to vote for Trump or even vote at all. I would not call that election interference. If Texas was a swing state and a Democrat offered that, I sign up and try to win the million.....and then vote Republican.

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.

I can agree with that. I just can't say that no sitting president has ever done it besides Trump.

I like the idea of light at the end of the tunnel. Some people simply can’t function that way.

Already have one area head coach booked!

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.

Fox News: According to the medical examiner, the preliminary examination found Graham suffered an aortic dissection due to arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

Made me nervous when Langford held up at 3rd on the base hit to left.

20 plus applicants and interviews are Monday and Tuesday. Unless you think they are interviewing for an interim, I would assume they hire this week.

Marlin was way down last year I think they went 2-8 or 1-9 but could have just been young I don’t know much about them. Outside of them and hearne im unfamiliar with everyone in that district should be interesting and Crockett, madisonville, college station would all be on the table everyone in our district and in 13 is due west of us!

Since I know you’re a gumbo cook, I thought you might like this one….

Lol

There was a Brian Morgan just hired to be OC at Converse Judson but thats a different Brian Morgan haha

Not sure where he thought you were complaining or whining. Just stating obvious facts and giving your thoughts on the season. I didn't see any whining.

Newton scores then got the 2pt… Franklin next possession was a strip fumble returned for td to make it a 14 point game
