  4. One of the things I’m not proud of is the wokeness of Austin. It’s a disease. Still a Longhorn fan. Hopefully this disease hasn’t infected any other campuses. For my Longhorn’s WS run, I believe we have a good shot at the title if we get past Georgia. That series with Miss St. had to have set some records for scoring and HRs.

    They have to (and certainly will) find a point of appeal where Anthony didn’t receive a fair trial because __________(fill in the blank). The Black women who were struck by the prosecution, faulty jury instructions, jury misconduct, evidence allowed that should have been excluded, etc.

    I think it will come down to the economy. Blame may be part of it. There is a saying that all politics are local. That is probably not 100% true, but there is certainly a lot of truth in it. An example is that Nancy Pelosi in some polls has shown to be the most unpopular politician in America, yet the Democrats had her as the Speaker. The country haters her but unlike the president, she is not on the national ballot. She is only from one district in San Francisco and she wins there by landslide. Politics is local. The national news media can talk about good times or bad times but people tend to vote on what is happening in their area. Politics is local. To expand on that, the Democrats are notorious for shooting themselves in the foot with their issues and campaign strategies. They choose hills to die on like taking away firearms, having schools teach and facilitate gender change without parental consent or knowledge, throwing the borders open, etc.Nationally some of that may play well but does it play well in southeast Texas or northwest Missouri? So if the economy is down or there is some other major issue going on and the Democrats give up on their identity politics, they have a good shot at the presidency. Hopefully they will hold to their strategy like the movie Idiocracy. If it seems utterly ridiculous, do it!

    Unless there is a super majority in both houses, everyone is a lame duck. In Obama’s two terms, he lost majority control over Congress for the entire last 6 years of his presidency with a split Congress. For the last 2 years the Republicans held both houses. Were you concerned about the term lame duck for the last 6 years of the Obama administration? OMG… a lame duck!! 🤣🤣🤣

  12. That 2017 Silsbee team was crazy deep. A total of 11 players off that team went on to play the next level in either football or basketball. Not bad for a little ole small town 4A team.

    I think I’ll increase my holdings in P&G (Rolaids) and trade some of my Merck for Pfizer (Xanax). I should see a good bump for the next year or two.

    I purchased with my "play" money that I make form my band hobby. If I would not have bought this, it would of been guitars or band equipment. I have an etrade account that I buy misc. stocks when the market dips. I'm curious to see where it goes.

  22. Tarkington just bought out their superintendent for $600,000, and with state penalties, it will cost them near $1,000,000 to move on from her. Tarkington's overall rating went from 88 in 2022 to 70 in 2024. Abysmal. Teachers fleeing like crazy. That hire was one of the worst mistake$ Tarkington ever made.

  24. Did you notice the 4.2 percent inflation numbers that came out today from the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the month of May after 3.8 percent in April, 4.2 percent is the highest increase since April of 2023. I noticed Reagan failed to mention it, I am sure it just slipped his mind. The Golden Era is Here!

    Incoming freshman class looked pretty good at the Kountze Summer League. There's of course still plenty of rough edges, but they handled business. Good news is the one kid I was worried about leaving to play elsewhere appears to be staying put.

    Well when you spend 2 trillion dollars more than you take in as a government does it really matter. Why hasn’t Trump cut spending? Trump is no different than a Democrat when it comes to spending. Who cares if you get a raise if it’s eaten up by inflation. Our debt is the biggest threat to this country but they keep spending us into an oblivion.

  31. Agreed, and that Odom group is strong. Also, that Summit team that beat BU in state, had lost three of there best players from the year before when they won state. I believed BU could make state last year, before Payton or Campbell transferred in. So with the additions and what they still have now, BU could be back to at least Semi finals for state. But only if they in 5A D2 this coming year

    I have not been able to watch anything, but I from what I remember: --He brought a knife to a track meet. --He went and sat under another teams tent. --Refused to leave when asked to leave. Is this accurate to what has been going on with the case?

    Obviously you know very little or nothing about the US Congress, which isn’t shocking. Trump is a lame duck president now the same as Obama was for 6 years and Biden was for all 4 years. There is nothing to deal with it. Neither party can pass a law without the support from the other party unless they control the House and have a 20 seat majority in the Senate. If those two situations do not exist, every president is a lame duck president. But it sure sounds impressive, if the other person doesn’t understand it. Like……. 🤣

  34. I graduated high school wasted a couple of years going to Lamar cause I had NO idea what I wanted to do.... so, I started framing houses and then worked for North Star Steel. Both of those jobs had me back at Lamar pretty quick lol.

  35. Lamar is extremely affordable when you start looking at other universities in Texas that have good/great engineering program and no not many international students when I was at LU... at least not in the industrial engineering program. For what it's worth, I think that if you are majoring in engineering, you should have at least 5 years of work experience before being able to graduate. That way you have some real world work experience to go along with the book(s).

  36. I work with a bunch of engineers that graduated from LU. When I was at LU (late 90s/early 2000s) most of my classmates (industrial engineering major) where from the US.

  43. I don’t care if they have the public’s interest at heart. I want to support a person who votes the way I wish. Motivation is almost meaningless. I would rather have a politician vote for my beliefs most of the time, even if for selfish reasons on his part than a person who is truly caring and votes for everything I hate. If a politician votes the way you want, why are you worried about analyzing his motivation or thought process? You note that in your opinion that every single one is corrupted by self interest. Okay, so they are all equal on that point. So you never vote or care who wins because they are all the same?

  46. 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…
