I'll never understand the amount of time and energy people put into talking, debating, and arguing about politics, as if politicians truly have our best interests in mind. One day, people will realize that it doesn't matter whether you're Republican, Democrat, liberal, conservative, white, Black, brown, or anything else. At the end of the day, none of these politicians—from the local level all the way to the president—don't have the public's best interests at heart.

Tony would be so pumped

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.

Barbers Hill also wins state in 5 innings Barbers Hill 11 Aledo 0 Final

What you fail to realize when those other players was a BU they had the Hancock brothers and there helping develop the kid and the current coaching staff don’t have time to help the kids cause all are up in age and they wanna go home and not stay and let the kids work Coleman was the only one willing to stay but he also stay in Houston so he wasn’t able to stay every and Wes was about to go prep but Hancock came back that’s the only reason Wes stayed

The Supreme Court recently ruled that federal courts could not order states to gerrymander districts to create majority minority districts. In the case of Louisiana v. Callais the Supreme Court said that a state could not be ordered to gerrymander districts in order to create more minority representation districts. To do so would violate the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause. Some courts and people felt that discrimination was okay if it was against White voters. So in Callais, Louisiana was allowed to redraw their districts. Up pops Alabama. In a challenge to the Voting Rights Act, a special master was appointed to redraw the Alabama districts about 3 years ago which had been set by the state legislature. The federal special master disregarded the legislature and drew the state districts by gerrymandering in order to force more minority representation. After the decision by the Supreme Court in Callais to not have federal courts decide state districts, another challenge was made in Alabama to enforce the federal approved districts, again ignoring those enacted into law by the legislature and the decision in Callais. The federal court in the Northern District of Alabama stepped up and again interfered with the Alabama legislature map. It was like Callais never happened. So naturally, there was an appeal to United States Supreme Court. They ruled yesterday that the federal court in Alabama needs to get back its lane and butt out. Alabama’s district map will remain as the legislature drew it and not a federal court approved master.

Clay Travis @ClayTravis · 14h In June of 2022, gas prices averaged over $5 a gallon, inflation was 9.1%, the murder rate was 6.3 per 100k & S&P 500 was 3675. Four years later gas is cheaper, inflation is roughly 3%, the murder rate is 4.0 per 100k, & the S&P 500 is 7600, more than double four years ago.

Oak Hill will develop him into more of a stretch big man than United was willing to allow. He only played bully ball in the paint for the Timberwolves. Our coaches only know one way to play as evidenced in the state championship games.

Thought I would put this back on top Jury selection starts today

Finished the month of May off with a sweep over the royals. Friday W 9-1 Saturday W 7-6 Sunday W 6-3 Heading to st. louis for a 3 game series. Season record: 28-31

Hitting each other with pillows would be more accurate…

I sure hope it's not Jones. If it is, that would be three different high schools in 4 year career. (3 in three years to be exact) This transfer thing is getting way out of hand. Playing for 2 different high schools in 4 years can be tolerated. Three or more? That's egregious.

Main cover should have Sark and McGuire on it with boxing gloves.

He can’t. He won’t. But, right now, he’s lost the support of those who didn’t want him to start in the first place, and he’s losing the support of those who realize the need, but want him to finish the job all the way to regime change because they know it’s the only way.

You speak your mind from what appears to be experience, and I read everything you post. You also post to debate versus post to “win” or one up someone which I respect. I like reading your opinions because they are sometimes different than mine, which makes me think

CH won it all in 2017 with 10-0 win over Wall

Is the Strait opened or closed on these hypothetical questions? [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content]

They had enough talent to win a championship, no question. But you only get there when you develop every player, from the starters to the last man on the bench — mentally, skill‑wise, and with real structure. The days of rolling the ball out and hoping they figure it out are over. They also needed someone younger on staff who could keep the gym open, rebound for guys, and help them get that extra work in. That matters. And honestly, that’s probably part of why some players decided to leave. Still, I wish those kids nothing but success. Never let anyone tell you there’s only one way to reach your goals. Carve your own path and stand on it with confidence.

And it’s done on a more than regular basis

I watched both 3A games yesterday. Momentum is a real force. When the wheels come off it can affect all areas of your game. The 4th and 6th inning were brutal for Franklin. Uncharacteristic errors took its toll. … Watched London go through their pitching staff walking batters and hitting batters. The better teams won but the games could have been somewhat different if all teams played to their potential. Nerves…

Solid debut

Well, Peyton Jones will be transferring from United to play at Dynamic Prep. That's three different schools in three years. SMH

Wow!

I actually think this Administration is using it as one way of promoting their ‘America First’ agenda by making it more expensive for other countries to dump product, and it makes U.S. produced goods more competitive. It’s also helping control interest on the debt. I agree inflation is a tax, and a weaker dollar contributes to inflation. That’s the tightrope the Fed is walking right now. For about 2 decades, we had a ridiculous monetary policy of almost 0%. It was going to come back around in all areas from interest, to investments, to goods—which passes down to services. One way to attempt to help inflation is to pay down our debt. Again, the weaker dollar helps. But—for it to really help—spending must also be cut. Your Friedman links are exactly correct. Inflation will never be tamed until we lower our debt, and inflation is a hidden tax.

I am not a big Jon Stewart fan but this is Funny!😂

Tough district for sure… our district is pretty tough as well. last year both rogers and Franklin played in the region final then again this year against each other. Little River Academy went 3 rounds as well I remember Franklin played CH round 4 when they had Grayson.

I guess trading the only players that are hitting is the way it is done now days that should solve all problems IDK

That's a flat out lie! I challenge you to prove otherwise. If you find it Ill band myself. If you don't find it you band yourself. Man up! Mr. MAGA.

By law you can’t, notwithstanding people who think it was justified. Texas used to have a law, as some other states do now, that calls killing a person under sudden passion as Manslaughter. The classic is coming home and finding your wife in bed with a guy and maybe understandably losing your temper. The point being that even being upset is not enough but suddenly coming upon something that sets you off where you otherwise probably wouldn’t have. How many people in the Golden Triangle area file for divorce every month after one or the other party was caught cheating? How many resulted in homicide? That is different than walking in and accidentally catching someone in the act. It doesn’t negate the crime, but people are left with the thought of something like, yeah, I understand that. It gives a jury a chance to say that it’s still wrong but with a lesser penalty. You are correct, it’s still Murder because he intentionally killed someone. In some cases, the person may not have had time to think it out rationally. Quite a while back, Texas removed that law from the books. If you intentionally kill someone, it’s Murder, period or as social media now says, full stop. To (in my opinion) appease people, the changed law said that intentionally killing someone is still Murder even if you were provoked into anger, however….. The law on the penalty for Murder is a First Degree Felony and 5-99 years. IF, after a jury convicts a person of intentionally killing someone, so Murder, but finds that it was under sudden passion, the jury can voluntarily reduce the penalty to a Second Degree Felony or 2-20 years in prison. Of course even for a regular Murder charge, a jury can give a person as little as 5 years. So why the option to reduce it in deliberations to a 20 year maximum as a mitigating factor when a jury can do that without a different law? I think it’s a feel good law although technically under sudden passion a person can receive a 2 year minimum as opposed to a 5 year minimum. I don’t see much of a chance of a jury convicting a person of Murder and then giving a 2 year sentence but sometimes juries are strange. So what does all of that have to do with this case? I can think of two tactics by the defense. I think it’s fairly certain that the kid accused did kill the other. That leaves either sudden passion as a lesser prison sentence or self-defense. Did the deceased initiate an act toward the accused that placed the accused in a reasonable belief that he was in danger of serious bodily injury or death? I haven’t looked at the case lately, but it seems like there was a claim that the now deceased student grab the other guy by the arm or shoved him. Does grabbing a person by the arm or shoving him place the other person in fear of death or serious bodily injury? If that is true then there can sure be a lot of lawful killing going on. Even if a person punches you in the nose, does that lead a reasonable person to believe that he is about to die or suffer a serious bodily injury? Imagine how many kids fought when we were in school. How many would justify deadly force in self defense? I can attempt to think that is how the defense is going to approach this, however. They’re going to say that there was an argument and one student shove the other, so the one that would’ve killed him in “self defense”. Although, in my opinion, it should not work, it will be setting the grounds for asking for a lesser sentence due to sudden passion and probation.

You really want Trump to fail because you don't want to give him the win. That is truly sad that politics have gotten this bad.

Well you got 4 State champions that BH can schedule. The Liberty game this year was the 1st game and it was 2-0 in the 6th before BH broke it open. Most of those runs were after the starting P left the game.

The belt is staying in Orange!

Very few players on the roster eligible to return as it was an extremely senior heavy roster. Nice to see the team make a regional for the first time in 16 years. Great resources for a SLC school so hope the program can start winning a bit more consistently. Also, hope to have the new hire announced by tomorrow and start moving forward with what will likely be an essentially rebuilt roster. I know a guy in the conference that rebuilt from nothing with absolutely no NIL in the program, but quite sure many quality names are in the mix. The guy from Blinn mentioned earlier by a poster has a tremendous resume. All we can do now is hide and watch. Will truly miss Hatten as we were students together years ago and he and others allowed me to assist with summer camps when I coached high school ball. Great guy and quite entertaining when he was angry during a game, which occurred basically when a game was being played. Lol My old man, my brother, and I will have our lawn chairs ready for the 3rd base line in 2027 for the best few months of the year See all 3 or 4 of you at the Beck next season. Hit em where they ain't!

Yes, very convincing win. Alvarez is Alvarez. Walker has been on fire. For me, Peña’s bat, glove, and speed on the base paths has been awesome to watch. Paredes has been great too. Did I just congratulate the whole team? Lol

Again take the hook out of your mouth. Lol

I read Hegseth as being the type guy to want to finish the job with combat. My gut tells me Trump is getting this ceasefire agreement/delay crap advice from elsewhere. Miller's probably in here somewhere, and I trust him as far as I can throw him.

Can’t wait for you to spend this! 😂 Winning!!! ……Embarrassing

Jonesboro 6 Brookeland 5 Final Great year Brookeland.

Jonesboro 6 Brookeland 5 Final Great year Brookeland.

#1 seeds were 11-4 vs 4 seeds yesterday. And I'm counting UGA as a win even though their game was suspended with them leading 15-1. Two seeds were an abysmal 3-11 vs three seeds. So higher ranked seeds went 14-15 against lower seeds.

Two shutouts in the semi’s is not bad.

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.

No… I think Trump is doing a good job at making us look weak at this point. Lol It seems Iran is still controlling the Strait and they’re not giving up the dust. That exit ramp is getting very tiny for Trump. I sure hope reports I’ve been reading are NOT TRUE. They are saying part of the Iran agreement is Trump giving Iran $300 billion dollars for reconstruction of what we’ve blown up.

I just spoke with Harold. He doesn't think KLVI will drop sports broadcasts (Lamar, Nederland). He anticipates contracting out with KLVI to continue doing radio broadcasts of Nederland football and Lamar Athletics. Might be on a reduced broadcast schedule but should continue. We will see come September.
