I hope Texas high school basketball never gets a shot clock in my lifetime.

I may have posted this before but I think of Reagan everytime I see it. Lol

Never took the shot and never was a thought common sense to me

I don’t do ticktock but my wife has shared many stories of how impressed soccer foreigners are to visit our country, except for the heat. Helps make us realize how good we have it.

Pedo’s protect Pedo’s

… and yes, 4 year olds aren’t usually that bad but you can see it coming sometimes.

Good. Hopefully it'll be fully implemented in a few years. They should have sent them film from that Silsbee/Lumberton game from a few years ago. No more trash basketball.

This is my 2¢ opinion. Such shooters usually (not always) do not want to be taken alive. It is sometimes their last act of defiance. Kill as many innocent people as possible, especially if a police officer, and then before being arrested, end their life or be killed by the police so as to keep anyone from seeking retribution. It’s like, I created mayhem and killed people and there’s nothing you can do about it. Starting at Columbine, that seems to be a common motive. When Klebold and Harris figured out that they were cornered and/or had run out of easy targets, they each committed suicide. Before that the police had fired about 140 rounds. So Klebold had Harris didn’t mind exchanging fire with the police, knowing that they were eventually going to end it. In the Mildland shooting it would not surprise me either way that the police killed the shooter or (perhaps more likely) he killed himself.

Great point - working in banking what I have noticed is people with no money who get money end up bank to their poor status quickly. I have 30 minute lectures with people who get 30K plus in one check from a settlement or inheritance. I try and explain this is more than likely a once in a lifetime event. Then I explain how long, if ever, it would take them to save that much money....The nod their head in agreement, we open their account or make their deposit, and usually in 60 days it is gone......

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.

Nimmo is a class act.

I said ‘credible mentions.’ 😝

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.

It’s over. 35 years

You joined 3 hours ago. How would you know? Is this CB again?!

Copy/paste? You bring nothing to the table but whine whine. Isn’t that a cult?

Let me consult Carnac.

IPO two days ago. Market cap now higher than Amazon, and it hasn't released a single fundamental to back up the share price. What could possibly go wrong? lol Gut tells me a whole lot of folks are going to be left holding the bag when institutions and hedge funds take massive profits before the little guys can get out. They're going to have to be disciplined enough to ride out the storm, and pray there's not a single launch issue.

To me, one of the best things to happen out of this—besides no nuclear weapons for Iran if that actually gets done—is the realignment of energy across the globe. The Strait won’t be allowed to have as much impact in the future. Producers will find other outlets. Plus, the U.S. has been established as a reliable energy source without the headaches of the Middle East. We should now become one of—if not the—dominant energy producer/s in the world. Our supply lines are safe. Insurers will take note. Length of travel will not be as big an impediment if regularly scheduled shipments are undertaken by clients. This should bode well for energy investments, manufacturing, engineering, crafts and skills, and related high-paying jobs. Not to mention a boon to our resurgent steel industry.

Even if not a soccer fan, the U.S. play on Friday was uplifting. Reading comments from foreign tourists about America is definitely a ‘feel-good’ mentality. The most poignant news take I read from a World Cup fan/tourist was something close to “If you follow the news, you hate America. If you travel around America, you love Americans.” The MOU with Iran is a positive, even though the deal isn’t finalized, and verification is paramount. The final deal may be tougher than the conflict itself. We’ll see. But, I sense a more upbeat feeling this morning. I ran to the store real quick for some milk before all the rain really hit hard. People seemed a lot more positive, and were smiling and talkative.

With 91 pages to our credit, I would venture to say that this may have been covered, but I ain’t gonna check.

Not talking points, it’s what your fbi director and his assistant said prior to being sworn in to cover for the government elites kinda like this situation I can’t speak for the Epstein victims. I am sure they fear for their lives from very powerful elites if they outed one of them. I don’t think you can speak for them either but please tell everyone how there was no crime committed. Hard to prove against very powerful people….yes. Does that mean it didn’t happen no.

Why don’t you ask Trumps influencers ( Kash Patel and Dan Bongino) who said they knew where the bodies were buried pertaining to the Epstein Files hypothetically speaking but once they got into the position to do anything they got amnesia. lol They were suppose to bust the Epstein Files wide open and get the perpetrators. Trump attacked the few Republicans who forced a vote on releasing the Epstein Files . Then he signed off on the Epstein Files Act. Why would you sign off on something he thought was a hoax? Why would you even care if everything got released? Because he didn’t want to embarrass himself and his friends? You can believe what you want just as I will.

…and still no convictions.

Thank God. People like Talarico are sick in the head. They’re a disgrace to decent human beings everywhere.

Please tell us where the Mecca Source of facts should come from? And who’s fact checking the fact checkers? Lol

Don’t forget his 3 wives and 6 bankruptcies! And wanting to put his name on every road, bridge, monument and building he can put it on ! Lol

Same

Alvarez was the first Astro since 1994 when Jeff Bagwell didi it, to hit 2 home runs in the same inning number 23 and 24. 6 RBIs in the first inning, Astros batted around in the first with 9 runs. Once again the Bullpen made it scary with 8 unanswered runs until Matthews' dinger late made it 10-8 and Hader closed it out.

Elizabeth Warren is having a coronary.

Mind blowing! The guy is a innovative genius!

I couldn’t help it. Lol

I am not a left leaning person so your post is Greek to me. Crickets from Reagan about the inflation numbers. Lol

Don't worry, the inflation is TRANSITORY lol. Isn't that what the left shouted for 4 years? Surely, we can call it that for a few months.

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.

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!

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the annual inflation rate surged to 4.2% in May, up from 3.8% in April. The Golden Era is Here!

There’s a fine line between bravery and stupidity. Kinda like the line between genius and insanity.

So Iran shot down one of ours during a cease fire and negotiations. Shocking. This shows their fear of us.

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.

So no chance of appeal unless they can find fault in system, correct?

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.

Congratulations, Payton. Great kid, very talented, and amazing family!

Smh….

What do you have against Make America Great?!
