Here is my take. I'm middle/upper, closer to middle class even though I have never felt like it. Within reason, I buy what I want, when I want, and manage to contribute to 401K and still have money to put in accessible savings. FYI, I bring my lunch to work daily and do not eat out often. I think we are spoiled as a country. I grew up never wanting for nothing. We did not eat out every night, my Mom cooked every day, We also didn't eat steak, it was mostly rice and gravy (round steak-cheap), chicken and pork chops....all cheap. I was blessed that my father shrimped on the weekends, so after he paid for his fuel selling shrimp, we got the extra. I actually got tired of shrimp and crabs.....which I would of thought was impossible. While prices are higher, Pork chops and chicken are still cheap enough, along with beans and rice, you can feed a family very reasonably. The problem is, we have been brain washed that everyone is equal and that is simply not true. A perfect example is years ago when I was single, I hung out with a Doctor and attorney who were also single.....After a couple months of living their lifestyle, looking at my bank account, we were NOT equal.....I could not afford to do what they did. A very expensive lesson in economics...not everyone us equal. As far as the Epstein files, only a very small percent of people care anymore, and majority are Trump haters hoping there is something that will make him look bad. I am 100% convinced that Biden admin would of added that to all the other tings they accused him of during the Biden term. The victims have stated they never seen Trump do anything inappropriate and he never went to Island. So, we can keep talking about it, but it will not change anything - Trump is still a powerhouse politically....

This one is indefensible, which is why nobody is commenting in here. It's highly unlikely he watched the whole video before reposting it, but that's irrelevant. If you're the president of the United States you better check what you post before you hit send. If I'd posted the same video last night I would've been fired before I made it into work this morning.

The people that are saying “all he is done is sue people and put his name on stuff” - are either brain dead, only listens to MSNBC, didn’t get past the first grade, very late stages of dementia, or a booted member named Cardinalbacker. Trump has done more in his second term that Obama and Biden in their combined terms….

We have Hispanic friends (legal) that attend a Hispanic church here in Silsbee. According to them, 90-95% of the congregation voted Republican this last election and will still vote Republican this coming midterm. They want illegals (some are family members) out of Texas. They understand why some come here illegally (good people looking for a better life, not the criminals) but feel if they had to go through all the red tape to be here legally, then everyone should. BTW, this new market is being owned and operated by a local business man who owns a pallet company here and employs several Hispanic families that were in need of this type market. Kudos to Mr. Worthy.

So did the trade deficit, the national debt, layoffs, and the price of groceries. You’re not seeing a growth in value of the stocks, what you’re seeing is a devaluation of the dollar. The t-bones I bought for 3.99 a pound four years ago are on sale for 9.99 per pound this weekend at Brookshire brothers. It won’t matter if you got a million dollars in your retirement account if one day a new pickup truck costs a hundred thousand dollars thanks to tariffs. Oh, wait….

I just want to see wealthy and unwealthy pedo’s go to prison.

North Shore picked up Lancaster for Week 1

Hypothetically, what 30 people said Trump had sex with underage women? The actual Epstein victims that have a list they won't release (but could and it would NOT violate their NDA) have said they never seen or heard of Trump acting inappropriate. I think I know 2 of the 30, and it would be Cardinalbacker and TheMissingBand.....actually, I could add a few more from here that claim it to be true without any proof what so ever......

Same. Except I use the Capital One (1.5% back) strictly for all regular recurring bills like utilities, insurance, prescriptions, etc. I use the one from the Credit Union for incidentals. I write one check a month still because I just can’t get myself to trust the City for the water bill, and they want direct bank access. Everything is paid off every month.

I agree. Really haven't been challenged since December. But there is another thing that concerns me with this Orangefield team and what could derail them. It's some of the players attitudes and behaviors on the court (and in some cases off the court). A few of the players have had to miss games or half games due to discipline being it on or off the court incidents. That has to get better. In the playoffs, that can be a deciding factor if a player or two is ejected or has to miss a game or half a game. That cannot happen. I will say it's better than the season before when OF led the area in technical fouls (that info came from the local officiating chapter). This team has the talent and ability to make it to SA as long as they don't get in their own way.

Some things have leveled off or in a few cases the price has come down (gas) but for the most part, it still sucks. My wife reminds me of the fact every time we go grocery shopping. She grabs a product and states "you know what this used to cost 3 years ago?". I always reply with "I have no idea, never looked at the prices, just grab what I needed or wanted". Makes her even more mad. lol Needless to say, my wife buys off brand products now days. That used to not be the case.

I read an article about a year ago but can’t remember where from but it said $100,000 of goods and services in 2020 would cost you $125,000 in 2024 for the same goods and services. I don’t know about you but if I took a $25,000 hit a year to buy the same goods and services and you didn’t get much of a raise over that period of time most people are going to feel smothered. Just saying.

Let me rephrase that “hurt the party” Of course I am not a party person. Both political parties take turn robbing the taxpayer. Then sometimes they do it together. One party is trying to drive us over the cliff in a Bugatti and the other in a Yugo. 40 trillion in debt is a National Security issue and none of them care it seems like. I think he’s done some good things but I am disappointed that a replacement plan for Obamacare was not already to go when he took office and voter integrity/voter id plan. The cost of Health Insurance and Food is smothering the middle class. Trump likes to think the Epstein Files are all about him and that can’t be further from the truth. Child trafficking is a huge problem in this country. Like I said the whole situation has been handled horribly.

In the realignment, districts draw their schedules out. It's not done individually between each school but by district committee. Sometimes schools can negotiate the home and home after the order is set.

The man wearing the MAGA hat should have stayed in his truck. But, that’s another issue. He had as much right to his free speech as the kids. The 10 or 15 kids that jumped him while it looked like he was trying to retrieve his hat were assaulting—not protecting—as some of the parents were saying as a means to justify their actions. Great parenting. Teaching your kid it’s okay to resort to violence when someone questions your actions, and then congratulate them for it when they were supposed to be in school anyway. I did get a kick out of the video from Minnesota. Walz welcomed students to the Capital to protest, and they wound up fighting and destroying property while they were there. Imagine that. I think it beat out the drunk teen in Kyle, TX protesting and arrested, and the Atlanta kids destroying laptops and such by a nose.

This will be our SETXsports Official Realignment thread. All realignment info will be posted here. Also, after the districts are announced, we will then decide which districts we will cover here at SETXsports. Likely the same as always but with a tweak here or there. Just depends on where our core schools fall and what other outlier schools join them.

It goes way further back than that. When you go back to the Nixon years, you had Rs who told Nixon “we’re going to vote to convict… you need to resign.” Somewhere in the 90s is when things really started to get more adversarial, and we no longer hold “our” guys accountable. From the Whitewater investigation that turned into Clinton being impeached for lying about honking his intern… it’s just been getting worse. The “Lil Bushie” cartoon when we were in the gulf war. The racist attacks on Obama, combined with his opinions/views/policies on race that only widened racial gaps. I can remember being astounded in ‘15 when Trump came out in the first debate hammering everybody on stage-it was comedy gold and we’d never seen anything like it on the presidential stage before. But now that angry, attack, lie, defame strategy is found at every level of government. Is he to blame? Nah, he was just the first to one to do it… we’re to blame for accepting it. And here’s the thing… I correct my own kids, not anybody else’s. I’m a conservative, Christian, Texan, American. I used to say Republican, but when I see what republicans support today, I can’t claim to be one of them. And MAGA is a horrible political movement that has hijacked, then destroyed the Republican/conservative movement for decades to come, I’m afraid. Ted Cruz used to be considered the most raging conservative prick. Even Republicans had a hard time dealing with him because he was too rigidly right wing. Today he’s “Lyin’ Ted,” a no-good RINO who needs to be taken out by “We The People.” And it’s not because his views have changed, he just wasn’t MAGA enough for MAGA. Same with John Cornyn. At once thought to be the third most conservative member of the US Senate, he’s now facing a defeat by “Our General” Ken Paxton, the corrupt Texas Attorney General who is loved for being one of Trump’s biggest attack dogs, in spite of everything he’s done. Greg Abbott? MAGA hates him now. With MAGA, it doesn’t matter what crimes you commit, as long as you’re loyal to Trump, you’ll have the support of the voters. But you’re right… I’m definitely more vocal when I see “my” side screwing up-because I expect my side to do right, regardless of what the other side is doing. Weak men, when faced with their own shortcomings, will say “yeah, but look what everybody else was doing, too.”

I agree They should do on their own time

You can’t claim to be “America First” and sue the USA for $10 billion dollars. In the past couple of weeks he’s sued the USA, Chase Bank, and the BBC. I thought we elected him to run the country, not sue everybody on the planet. Donald Trump is a stain on the underpants of humanity.

He would definitely be up there but his teams at Hightower and other places wasn't as scoring prolific as his teams at Yates. Jackie Carr, legendary coach at Wheatley, would be right up there with 100 point wins.

I gave it 2 days in the news cycle. Generous.

It’s so funny… it was intentional. Trump did it because he sees the polls and knows he needs to somehow motivate the racists in his MAGA base. Maybe they’re a little bummed because they haven’t seen the relief from high prices that Trump promised. Maybe they’re a little disillusioned by sissy-fied stream of lawsuits Trump keeps filing. Maybe there’s a small part of their pig-brains that thinks “maybe we shouldn’t be tearing down Washington, D.C. and rebuilding it with gold-leaf covered Trump branding when we’re kinda sorta struggling to make ends meet.” There’s no better way to get those people back on the bandwagon than lobbing a racist attack on the person that they hate the most, Obama. And here’s why I say so… The very least Trump should do is apologize and terminate the “staffer” who posted the meme. But he won’t, because he can’t…. that would infuriate his base- the racists.

Yeah congratulations on the district win this year. I'm just saying if he knows Silsbee than he should know whats coming this was the year to beat Silsbee.

After this year, we don’t care who wins.

No good ball handlers is a crazy take. You must not be familiar with this basketball team.

Shovel ready jobs and you can keep your doctor. Promises kept, smh.

Alex, I’ll take what one Party/POTUS called the other over the last 17 years for $500 please.

I think if the Democrats AND YOU would lay off the Nazi and Hitler comparisons, that he is a threat to democracy, that voter ID is Jim Crow, that ICE is disappearing people.......he may lay off as well. I think the big problem, right or wrong, he swings back when attacked.......and I know our memories are short, but he is the only one so far that has actually been less than a inch away from assassination.

I appreciate your saying that. It’s okay to say, “I still think he’s the right man for the job, he’s just doing a lot of dumb stuff right now.” If Trump’s base voiced displeasure at his antics, I think he might tone it back a little bit and focus on what he was elected to do.

Super excited to see what this team does in the playoffs!!! Playing as a complete team right now.

Do you believe your own lies?

you're delusional if you think they aren't. they're encouraging it. and you have a short memory if you're criticizing the right for "celebrating people being attacked and executed."

I agree. What I find odd is Trump will meet with some of the worse evil leaders in the world Putin, Xi, Kim Jung Un, etc but he want meet with the Epstein survivors slash victims. Usually Trump will meet with anyone and take on the hard problem that pertains to the situation but not in the Epstein situation. He could shut all the talk down by meeting with the survivors and telling them his DOJ will go after the perpetrators that committed crimes against them as it pertains to the Epstein Saga. I am a Trump policy supporter but he has handled this situation horribly and it doesn’t look good on him in my opinion. I am not saying he’s guilty of anything but if he is he’s got to answer for it. This was not a hoax. There were lots of victims. This clip is an example. I don’t care for Kaitlyn Collins of NBC but she’s asking a legitimate question about justice for the survivors. I don’t think he embarrassed her, I think he made himself look like a callous fool. I don’t think it’s cool to be smiling when you’re asking about sexual survivors of Epstein’s Ring he was running.

This is you, right?? You can't have it both ways....

Yes, the fan should’ve left when he was asked — no excuses. But let’s be real: he was the victim here. The United fan was out of control, talking reckless about #24, and his mom stepped in to defend her child like any parent would. Instead of backing down, he kept going back and forth with a woman, and the gentleman stepped in to protect her. Then, in typical fashion, when he was told to leave, he tried to flip the situation and make it seem like it was someone else’s fault. He created the chaos. He escalated it. And he tried to dodge responsibility. People need to understand: talking about someone’s kid is a line you don’t cross. It shows a complete lack of maturity from a grown adult.

Looks like BC is picking cupcakes for non-district again

Crossing the U.S. border without authorization has been a federal crime for over 97 years, since the passage of the Immigration Act of March 4, 1929. There has been 17 Presidents since 1929 that could have changed the law but they have not. Comparing Trump and Republicans to Nazi's is disgusting and a completely false narrative.....all it does is promote violence.

I believe Giuliani is being vindicated in Georgia with what’s came out about the massive voter fraud. Lol Never been much of a Bannon fan if that’s who you are talking about since you misspelled it.

Absolutely kudos to Mr. Worthy. It’s great for Silsbee. My point is that ICE tends to target places Hispanics congregate or frequent. To even have to think they might use their disruptive tactics at small businesses In small towns is appalling.

Just heard Bill O’Reilly say that a large portion of the funding of these radical protesters are funds coming from China.

Spot on, he’s talking about lots of hypocrites in this country that are crying about radicals killed while interfering with law enforcement but couldn’t care less about victims of crimes at the hands of illegals.
