👍🏼 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.

In bold: that's a very good question.

The process will be the process....I dont know which boxes will be checked but I was told by a good source there will be a DEC meeting....these things are hard to predict once you get to a hearing...what I do know is if the DEC doesnt approve it...the odds of UIL granting an appeal are slim and none

First, I understand your general interest. WV had a great run, he was their QB, and he and his family are high profile. That said, keep in mind BH has been deemed "no longer in SETX coverage" due to its new district, and that's OK. In turn, BH just won't have the same coverage and number of posters and info here in the future. BH news and discussion will likely be quite limited ahead. I know some BH posters simply lost interest here and moved on, while some others just got tired of all the BH bashing and misinformation allowed. They had their fill of it and didn't need that BS anymore. They are gone. The bottom line is, the news that Babin has left WV is all that's really pertinent to SETX. Where he ends up (out of SETX coverage) is incidental. Again, I do understand your general curiosity. We will all know for sure pretty soon. Its just a few weeks away. That's just "my 2 cents", nothing more.

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

O line and D line

Unless Channelview were to vastly improve, just like Jasper might. If Jasper only slightly improves off of 2-8 and 1-4, it wont matter just like your example of Channelview slightly improving. What I am saying is, it really doesn't matter who improves, as long as someone does, then it in turn benefits the others. So Jasper itself is not unique. Playing a stronger schedule is what really matters. I am all for that.

1. lumberton 2. huffman 3. bridge city 4. LCM 5. Vidor 6. Livingston 7. Liberty Vidor and LCM could go either way Vidor will definitely have a better season compared to last years, but they arent going to be able to stop the other bigger and faster offenses in the disrict such as lcm, bridge city, huffman or lumberton.

Dems are out of control with their constant outrage towards one man who is having to clean up the absurd mess they created. I bet Trump is their first awakening thought…..pitiful. Hate is a strange, but effective motivator.

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.

Curious what y'all think. La Porte is an open enrollment ISD. So, you don't hear me complain about transfers. But, when a coach is given an opportunity, then leaves for another opportunity they see as a step up, I'm not sure I'm fond of them reaching back to the school that gave them their opportunity in the first place and poaching top players from that program. I'd like to think there would be some type of 'gentleman's agreement' about that sort of thing. Probably naive on my part. But--to me--this is a little different than just the typical transfer situations we see on a regular basis. Thoughts, while we wait out the last 45 days?

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.

I put both losses on King but that’s just me.

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.

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

Zavalla is a sleeper! They are young and ready to go with a new head coach! Should have a good season this year!

Lol

Do not let up!

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