Not surprising..... There would of been absolutely nothing he could of done that you would approved of. That's OK though - no money from US is being given to them, and if they don't live up to agreement, we have option to go back to bombing......

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

Issue the U.S. has--I may/may not have mentioned previously--is that most of our refineries are set up to process heavy, sour crude. We haven't made the investments to be able to process our own WTI. That should be a priority, and would be a good use of incentive funding for national security purposes. Just get us to at least a 60/40 spit.

The 17 year old who filmed himself urinating on Austin Metcalf’s grave and posting it on the internet, has been arrested.

The deal might as well be written on toilet paper because they will violate it you can bank on it. As for as bombing them that might trigger them closing off the strait again but as you’ve said other countries are looking for other alternatives for their oil but it would still hurt the global economy imo. We should have been all in from the beginning to take out the oppressive regime and secure the uranium or not go in at all imo. Trump ran his piehole too much and Iran called his bluff. What a mess.

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.

… 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......

What's actually comical? I haven't heard a peep about the Paris Climate Agreement, Greta Thornberg, or the dreaded Climate Change. Seems everyone is too busy scrambling for oil. The Paris Climate Agreement appears to be about as solid as this MOU between Iran & the U.S.

Heard it was the former coach at AHS.

For folks (subscribers) waiting on the DCTF mag it should be coming in starting next week. 🙌🏾 Mine comes in between Wednesday and Friday.

I'm saying the MOU isn't an agreement that's binding in any fashion. It's nothing more than a 'pinkie promise.'

You were right OlDawg.

Did we get rid of the oppressive regime that slaughtered 40,000 Iranians? Then Trump told the Iranian people to rise up help was on the way, what happened to the help? Did we secure the uranium? They obviously have enough missiles to keep the Strait closed and bomb Israel. You say we won…what did we win? You do know we borrowed hundreds of billions of dollars to start this war along with losing 13 US Soldiers and created irreversible inflation. We are almost 40 TRILLION IN WHOLE IN DEBT! Smh

It’s not a mess. They can’t do anything without…..money. All the money they get will be in exchange for good behavior. They have no Navy, no air-force, no radar to protect itself…..over 13,000 targets bombed over the last few months….their gay leader has not seen the sun since he was one of those 13,000 targets…..and since being gay is a crime, punishable by death, he’s not starting out too good…..lol I don’t understand how anyone could think we don’t hold all the cards

You knew it would see-saw hard & fast. I can’t recall an IPO in a long time that didn’t lose 50% of its value in the first year. Many have come back strong and stayed strong. You didn’t mention E*TRADE. That makes a difference on fees. Still the same for tax purposes. SpaceX is so different than other firms, I see it as more of a trade stock versus an investment stock for the shorter term. Long play, I think it definitely has legs. But, the mere nature of its business is high risk. Too risky for my taste as I’m already living on savings and investments. I was also worried about it being so dependent on the government and whatever Administration was in at the time. When reading the prospectus, 20% of it’s business was with the Feds.

I agree with this statement and have been saying this for many years. The UIL has no idea what is about to him them in the next 5-10 years. Not everyone is playing by the same set of rules. At some point we have to stop with the non-sense about controlling where we send our kids to school and whether or not its for "athletic purposes". Well NO JOKE every single transfer in the history of transfers is for athletic purposes so they can learn to adapt or get left behind as more options become available. I too believe you will start to see committed seniors opt out of their UIL ISD senior year and take the road that better suits their career path.

Oklahoma might win this thing..they have things bouncing their way and are hitting the piss out the ball

I find it amusing to be honest with you.

I don’t remember anyone celebrating a teenager killed. I am sure it happened though. I don’t celebrate anyone getting killed however there are some people that made their own bed. Where was it a couple of days ago that I saw two teenagers break into a home or business and one was shot and killed and the other got away? Am I happy that a couple of teens made a terrible mistake and one paid with his life? No. The parents now have to live with the grief from what happened but there’s a good likelihood that the parents caused it. I know that it wasn’t addressed to me but I don’t find it hypocritical to say that Anthony committed murder and Martin and the teen in the news a couple of days ago likely caused their own demise.

Smh

I hope Hegspeth and Ratcliffe trust him as much as you do. This an Israel based site that has been on X for 10 years just to save you the look up. Lol

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

Wow, same number of enlisted murdered leaving Afghanistan…….and left $billions in military equipment..…not a peep.

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.

Gee, I wish we would have thought of that. I mean, 10% for the big guy ring a bell? Aw, nothing to see here. Ukraine….the most corrupt country in the world. But hey, let’s send them hundreds of $billions. No complaints about that war effort funding.

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.

…and still no convictions.

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

Geez…. So a Beaumont teen went to Houston and is accused of killing two teenagers. I don’t take solace in the fact that it didn’t happen here. Two teenagers are dead. Where they are from or where they were at the time doesn’t really matter. If convicted of Capital Murder there are only two punishments available, life in prison without parole or the death sentence. If this guy is guilty, let’s hope that he had already walked his last free days on this Earth.

You are still a liar and feed alternative truths. Trump is an alleged pedo and the more information comes out about him in the Epstein files the more you speak as if you were there. SMH. [Hidden Content] his friends are seeing the truth beyond your alternative truths.

So using strategy and coaching to give your team a chance to win is trash basketball?

I love my country but hate my government!

Yep….and 30% of the 97% has been in the last 6 years. Trump and Biden can be thanked for that.

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.

Can smell 'em comin' a mile away. lol

You were right, that didn’t take long. 😂

Just find it comical rather he posted it or not. Lol

This Alvarez guy, is he human?
