  2. I used to say that but apprenticeships and technical certifications or trade schools show that you can finish something. The military is the same. Do people really need English composition, humanities and intro to science classes for most jobs? I would venture to guess that in a majority of jobs, a person who has done 4 years in the military and was honorably discharged (and probably has a learned skill) should rank higher than a person who has English Lit and consumer math with a sheepskin. Looking at google out of curiosity, up to 41% of college grads are not employed in a job that deals with their degree and 52% at least initially take jobs that do not require a degree. I didn’t dig into how many eventually gained employment in jobs that actually require a degree Obviously some jobs should require a certain level of education such as medical doctors, lawyers, school teachers, certified accountants, HR people, perhaps banking, etc. Other than those, I think the need for college is way overblown.

    You are correct if it's any deal that leaves the current regime in place. The amount of time until it comes back to bite us will be the only question. Sorry. I don't have TDS. I have experience with these folks. Hopefully, my posts have shown that I am somewhat competent on these type issues. I'm not even a 'Debbie Downer.' Again, it's just experience. And I could care less what the 'Trump don't play' crowd has to say. They've been wrong on this conflict from day one.

  6. I've never found the concept of MAGA that difficult to understand. I guess everyone could have an opinion of when America was great, or maybe some people think that America was never great..... I remember a time when folks went to school with shotguns in the back glass of a pick up.....and no one one got shot and no one stole the gun.....and that was in Port Arthur in 1981........ We fought in school and after school and no one was stabbed or shot.......most kids had 2 parents...... I honestly wouldn't mind going back to that time.......

    Trump looks weak.......? How weak would China look if they took out our Navy and Air Force? How weak would China look if they took out 40 plus of our leadership starting with Trump? How weak would China look if they could prevent 90-95% of all trade the US has? You guys are doing some wild stuff to try and make us look weak......

    Iran War Update

    Trump or the GOP are not conservatives. There is nothing conservative about spending 2 trillion dollars a year more than you take in, there’s nothing conservative about allowing 500,000 Chinese students into our country because you don’t want to offend Xi. There’s nothing conservative about not addressing Xi about allowing Covid into our country and destroying hundreds of thousands of businesses and millions of deaths & shutting down a 36 trillion dollar economy. I could go on but I’ll stop there.

    Iran War Update

    Those who have been in armed conflict are usually the last ones to want to start one. But, when the decision is made, and the ‘trigger is pulled’, anything less than all out effort gets more of ‘our people’ dead. Avoid civilian casualties where possible. If not possible, and legitimate targets are keyed, it is a sad byproduct of conflict. If you don’t have the stomach for it, don’t start the conflict. I can guarantee the IRGC wouldn’t blink twice if they had the capability to set off a dirty bomb in a civilian area in the U.S. THAT’s who we’re dealing with. The version of beliefs they hold actually desires the end of Israel and the Big Satan. Not just the military. The entire civilian population. They don’t care. They believe it will usher in the return of their prophet. Others are more secular, and just know if they lose power, they’ll be killed. I’m not joking when I say these folks are bat sh t crazy. If you don’t eliminate them, they’ll pull another cockroach in 2-3 years. Better to deal with it now than take a chance on the next Administration being Gavin & AOC, or someone similar.

    Whoever the political advisor was he listened to that said a ceasefire was a good idea should be immediately fired. When he made the decision to begin the conflict, he should have been all-in, and only listened to his military leaders from then on out.

  24. Just looked it up. They are actually #1 in that category of combined no-hitters. No other team has more than 2. What an odd stat. 4 in the last 8 years. They now have 18 total no-hitters which is tied for 3rd in all of baseball. Amazing when you consider how young the franchise is ('62). They surpassed the Reds tonight who have been in existence since 1882 ("modern version"). Tied with Red Sox, Cubs, and Giants as of tonight. The Mets, same season of inauguration as the Astros have 2 in team history. Edit here as I found one more stat...since 2022 the Astros have more no-hitters than all other teams COMBINED. Just an amazing statistical anomaly.

    If you want to see what's really happening with the kinetic actions, among other news, the site I posted earlier has a lot of info for details. It shows (graphically as well with zoomable detail maps) each specific instance of strike, attempted strike, etc. all from verified intel, satellite, Centcom, etc. Kind of nerdy. But, also very revealing. [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content]strike/37

    The trade was strictly about the money. No question. I only made the comparison (actually, got the comparison off an X post) to show what the Astros were getting for $4.7 Mil less. Houston couldn't keep Dubon. I believe they got what they were expecting in return. A decent player off the bench.

    Astros lose to the Brewers last night, 5-4 in 10 innings. Houston had the bases loaded with 1 out in bottom of 9th but failed to score. Mathews struck out on three pitches (last one looking) and Parades flew out. Brewers scored their run in the 10th on two sacrifice flies. I hate that extra inning rule with runner on 2nd. Alvarez went 0-4 with 2 K's, one in the tenth inning with runner at 2nd. Santa took the loss without giving up a hit or a walk. Just doesn't seem right.

    Reagan, I don’t think anyone, including myself, has any idea about the stress and strain there must be upon the president and his advisors to come up with an end result that would satisfy everyone. They have to cast aside all the democrats because they know none of them will agree with anything. Then there are those who cannot be pleased either way. If they attempt to finish the job, they’ll call for his head over lives lost and the costs. If they negotiate, they’ll be accused of bowing to Islam. So, in the end, they have to do what is best for the country. I mean, what is left?

    Trump Effect

    I’ll give this as an example… ask Google “when has a president endorsed a primary challenger for a sitting senator from his own party?” It’s only happened twice… And it was Trump both times. Everybody knows that Paxton is corrupt… the only difference between him and Trump is that Trump’s corruption is on a larger scale. Paxton carries the stench of corruption, an ongoing divorce from his wife who accused him of cheating, a bipartisan impeachment in the Texas Lege, federal investigations into his crooked dealings, and an all around jerk of a human being. His opponent is a multi-term senator whose biggest “fault” is that he occasionally voted against Trump’s ideas. So when someone says “i don’t care… I’ll never vote for a socialist or trans,” but instead votes for corruption because Trump tells them to-it says all you need to know. They aren’t voting against socialism, they’re voting the way Trump tells them to.
