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.

Open so far Jasper Hemphill West Sabine Corrigan Warren Brookelamd Burkeville

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.

Wow a 2 game streak 4-1 win and the Boot. 4 solo Dingers, Teng pitches a 2 hit shut out in 6 then BP comes in and makes it scary interesting. Alvarez Altuve Cole and Waker Dingers

Orangefield wins over Grandview 5-1 Huntington vs Orangefield region final

Huntington wins the series over Little River Academy score 6-5

2-0 combined 1 hitter this was one Stros really needed. Denzenzo 2 great catches and other defensive plays. No no thru 7 by Arrighetti, not perfect but pretty goodwith walks, King saves. What a difference a day makes. Go Stros

Went to Rusk at one point

How about the bomb from Carson Worthy. Heard about his diagnosis from this past year. Absolutely amazing to see that kid come out and play after what happened. Even better swing from him to help take game 1!!

Wow! If there is a game three, pitching depth could be a factor?

No doubt the poor do well in this country. I recently saw a congressman in a committee not sure which state he was from make a statement that a single mom making $12k a year qualified for about $62000 in benefits. Food, Housing, Healthcare, Childcare etc. Unbelievable

Josh Allen is a good example.

Good lord….. lol

Ok, pathetic little man.

I’d say Fetterman could be considered a DINO. Near death experiences can change one’s outlook on life.

You'll need to see what the father actually said, it's in screenshots in the article. It wasn't a paywall for me, I don't pay for that site.

Bryson Kennedy, the highly touted 2029 quarterback from Little Rock, Arkansas who transferred to Duncanville this past semester, was ruled ineligible for the season Tuesday, according to a now-deleted social media post from his father.“I know everyone was looking forward to Bryson being the starting QB for Duncanville, but it won’t happen due to Bryson being ineligible,” Kennedy’s father, Anthony, said in a Facebook post that also appeared to share an email informing him of the decision. Duncanville ISD has not responded to a request for comment. The ruling appears to stem from a podcast appearance Bryson made in February. In his post, Anthony also shared a clip of the podcast, in which his son said “I feel like the opportunity was better for me as a player,” after being asked why he came to Duncanville. Bryson Kennedy was the starting quarterback for Little Rock Central as a freshman in 2025 and already boasts offers from power programs such as Arkansas, Auburn and Missouri. He was expected to compete for the starting job this fall at Duncanville. “I spent over $15,000 moving to Duncanville out of my own pocket; no one paid us, so we returned to our home school, Little Rock Central,” his father’s Facebook post read. Bryson’s X account also no longer lists Duncanville in his profile

Try and explain how the Iran war is about him? He could of easily ignored the threat, kept gas prices low, focused on redistricting and the mid-terms…..but he chose to take care of something other Presidents couldn’t.

More winning!

I thought I'd humor those who choose to read with some of my thoughts on this fine morning. As anyone who reads my posts is aware, I'm not big on political parties. I consider myself a conservative libertarian. I believe in free markets and free people. I believe in individualism and personal liberty. My personal belief is the current political parties have long ago left their purpose of serving the people, and exist now only to collect power and stay in power. They exist to protect themselves, and the power they have--and can--accumulate. These are their primary drivers. The future of our--and our kids/grandkids--way of life seems to have been turned into nothing more than a sporting event by the two major parties. They've minimized it to the point where we can literally gamble online about the future direction of our country. As a cynical view, I'd think they were doing it on purpose to simplify, divide, and distract. With that said, I thought I'd post some quotes from one of my personal, favorite thinkers. If you've never heard of her, I'd recommend a quick look at some of her thoughts. If you have heard of her--but it's been awhile--it may be a good time to refresh your memories on some of her thoughts. No matter which Party you choose, I'd hope that some of these quotes strike a nerve, help remind us all of what's made America great, why she was founded, and what can be accomplished when our freedoms are actually unleashed. I'll step off my soapbox, and hope the below quotes are meaningful to everyone in some way. If you feel it's worthwhile, please post thoughts and/or quotes that are personally meaningful to you as they relate to our current political atmosphere. It would be interesting to me to see where people stand--aside from the specific headlines discussed in other threads. I'm curious if we all aren't closer in our beliefs than what we may think, or further apart. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ All quotes are courtesy of Ayn Rand America's abundance was created not by public sacrifices to the common good, but by the productive genius of free men who pursued their own personal interests and the making of their own private fortunes. They did not starve the people to pay for America's industrialization. They gave the people better jobs, higher wages, and cheaper goods with every new machine they invented, with every scientific discovery or technological advance- and thus the whole country was moving forward and profiting, not suffering, every step of the way. Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities (and the smallest minority on earth is the individual). Socialism is the doctrine that man has no right to exist for his own sake, that his life and his work do not belong to him, but belong to society, that the only justification of his existence is his service to society, and that society may dispose of him in any way it pleases for the sake of whatever it deems to be its own tribal, collective good. Whoever claims the right to redistribute the wealth produced by others is claiming the right to treat human beings as chattel. It only stands to reason that where there's sacrifice, there's someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there's service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master. Every government interference in the economy consists of giving an unearned benefit, extorted by force, to some men at the expense of others.

I think he nails it pretty well [Hidden Content]

I hear Nederland didn’t renew his contract and this is possibly his last year as head coach. “Depending on season outcome”

Sad, but true. Stepping down is not enough. She’s looking at 10 years.

I didn't miss that - my point was "While the Senate was probably never in play for the Democrats, looks like Trump has a really good chance of keeping the house" - nothing guaranteed, but a better chance than he had 6 months ago. I know you guys like to think Trump does not plan, and dumb luck had him win 2 elections including the popular vote. However, I'm more than positive the timeline of the Iran mission and to include mid-terms was not overlooked. Underestimating Trump has caused a lot of heartaches.....I mean Virginia actually thought about lowering the mandatory retirement on Virginia SC to fire all of them for upholding their own constitution.

Might wanna look at this since SC is your home state….. [Hidden Content]

Did you get your $100 back, or are you still holding out hope that it will someday actually produced?

Reagan is this true? Please tell me you didn’t buy one of these phones. lol

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.

Worked out better than the season Nederland had so i would say he made the right choice at the moment.

Week of 4/27 & 5/04. Last 2 weeks have been really good for the student athletes at LP. Keep focusing young men & ladies!

[Hidden Content] I’m inviting all Jasper Parents, Alumni, and Community to come out to Jasper Football’s first College Day which will be held on Tuesday May 12, 2026 at 2:30 PM at Bulldog Stadium. My staff and I have held this event for the past 15 years in May at both Beaumont Central and Killeen Shoemaker l, and it is very similar to a pro day for a college prospect or a collegiate camp held by the universities. We have 8 college staffs who have already confirmed their attendance. My staff and I both share the same common goal which is to promote our outstanding student athletes in every possible way. Feel free to send this information out to any collegiate contacts you may have and come out and support The Dawgs! Thank you for all your support! THE CHANGE IS NOW! Toby Foreman #dawgfamily #J’sUp

I spoke with Harold earlier today. He believes that KLVI will continue to do Nederland football and Lamar athletic broadcasts and he will contract out for them. He is just no longer a full time employee with IHeart/KLVI. He isn't 100% certain of this but believes it will happen.

Not only complete junk but from people who are almost no danger to society. Grandma finds a gun that grandpa had but he died 10 years ago. Grandma is not likely to use that RG .22 short to rob a store or do a mass shooting. It’s actually probably a good deal for her because that piece of junk couldn’t be sold for $10 but she’ll get $100 for it. 🤣 And NOW the streets are so much safer!!
