I'll never understand the amount of time and energy people put into talking, debating, and arguing about politics, as if politicians truly have our best interests in mind. One day, people will realize that it doesn't matter whether you're Republican, Democrat, liberal, conservative, white, Black, brown, or anything else. At the end of the day, none of these politicians—from the local level all the way to the president—don't have the public's best interests at heart.

Tony would be so pumped

6 pitches….2 HRs

You brought up being a lame duck president.

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!! 🤣🤣🤣

The series win vs cleveland is the 3rd in a row. Friday W 3-2 Saturday L 0-6 Sunday W 10-0 On the road for a mid-week series in kansas city. Season Record: 32-33

What you fail to realize when those other players was a BU they had the Hancock brothers and there helping develop the kid and the current coaching staff don’t have time to help the kids cause all are up in age and they wanna go home and not stay and let the kids work Coleman was the only one willing to stay but he also stay in Houston so he wasn’t able to stay every and Wes was about to go prep but Hancock came back that’s the only reason Wes stayed

They had enough talent to win a championship, no question. But you only get there when you develop every player, from the starters to the last man on the bench — mentally, skill‑wise, and with real structure. The days of rolling the ball out and hoping they figure it out are over. They also needed someone younger on staff who could keep the gym open, rebound for guys, and help them get that extra work in. That matters. And honestly, that’s probably part of why some players decided to leave. Still, I wish those kids nothing but success. Never let anyone tell you there’s only one way to reach your goals. Carve your own path and stand on it with confidence.

It’s nothing to move apartments across cities in the Dallas and Houston areas

The Supreme Court recently ruled that federal courts could not order states to gerrymander districts to create majority minority districts. In the case of Louisiana v. Callais the Supreme Court said that a state could not be ordered to gerrymander districts in order to create more minority representation districts. To do so would violate the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause. Some courts and people felt that discrimination was okay if it was against White voters. So in Callais, Louisiana was allowed to redraw their districts. Up pops Alabama. In a challenge to the Voting Rights Act, a special master was appointed to redraw the Alabama districts about 3 years ago which had been set by the state legislature. The federal special master disregarded the legislature and drew the state districts by gerrymandering in order to force more minority representation. After the decision by the Supreme Court in Callais to not have federal courts decide state districts, another challenge was made in Alabama to enforce the federal approved districts, again ignoring those enacted into law by the legislature and the decision in Callais. The federal court in the Northern District of Alabama stepped up and again interfered with the Alabama legislature map. It was like Callais never happened. So naturally, there was an appeal to United States Supreme Court. They ruled yesterday that the federal court in Alabama needs to get back its lane and butt out. Alabama’s district map will remain as the legislature drew it and not a federal court approved master.

Clay Travis @ClayTravis · 14h In June of 2022, gas prices averaged over $5 a gallon, inflation was 9.1%, the murder rate was 6.3 per 100k & S&P 500 was 3675. Four years later gas is cheaper, inflation is roughly 3%, the murder rate is 4.0 per 100k, & the S&P 500 is 7600, more than double four years ago.

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.

Oak Hill will develop him into more of a stretch big man than United was willing to allow. He only played bully ball in the paint for the Timberwolves. Our coaches only know one way to play as evidenced in the state championship games.

That's a good question. We will have to wait and see.

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……. 🤣

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.

I don’t know what the job scene is like today. In the early 70s, there were plenty of jobs available, even for the trade schools. I went undeclared for a couple semesters which was a huge mistake. Unless you know your life’s ambition, paying to go to school is like a merry-go-round. There are lots of kids graduating high school who don’t have a clue what their job interests are. I was one of those kids. Should have stayed with the A/C field. There were like 10 jobs available for every graduate, but economics was a problem and I still wasn’t sure that’s what I wanted. Even back then, I couldn’t believe the ease of the basic subjects in the trade schools. Both math and English were on 4th or 5th grade levels. Math tests would have 1/2 + 1/4 equals……I would actually have people looking over my shoulder for answers. Maybe I should have tried engineering….lol. Long story short……economics was a key factor in my not finishing at Lamar. Nowadays, and probably back then, process operator classes would have been the best route for this area. Actually, back then, you could hire on in the plants straight out of high school. Nepotism ran rampant back then, so who you knew was a great application attachment. I submitted several and got no calls. Today’s youth don’t know what work is. If you want to test a person’s determination in keeping a job, let him hire on pouring concrete. Give him some rubber boots and jump in the middle of a form having to use rakes to move the pour. At the end of the day, you’ll know where he stands. I apologize for the meandering.

Lamar is—comparatively—very affordable, close to industry, and has a good track record from my understanding. I assume most of the US grads stay fairly local. There’s a good network for referrals. Baddog and I are discussing a time decades before your attendance. Were there many international students in the Engineering program when you attended? Curious about it since the immigration system has been tightened up. Incidentally, I always liked hiring ET's. I also liked hiring ex-fitters. Both brought more 'common-sense engineering/design' to the table than many other new engineering grads. Maybe, because I was ex-operations before my degrees, and could see more of the value. I just never ran across many--or any--resumes from Lamar. So, I always presumed they stayed more at the direct client level in the Golden Triangle. Glad to hear there are still others who aren't just going for Liberal Arts degrees. We need them, and all crafts, skills, and trades.

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.

Biden was asleep when he was a wake. Huge difference.

Nice 13-2 win and I believe every player except pitchers got at least 1 hit. Alvarez Number 22 now 48 RBIs. Batting .316. Didn't get to watch it but kept up with it on phone. I'm sure Aggie will fill us in. Iami 8 ks in 5 innings

Alvarez spoiled Morris’ debut…….Grand Slam.

We wonder same about you…lol We have no idea what your bias is. 😂

He voted too.

Watching it. I think each team has 5 dingers.

And it’s done on a more than regular basis

No one is right or wrong. Like it or not.... We're all in this mess together and the only way to get out of this mess is to come together. Stop giving politicians what they want. Stop giving into the chaos. Stop giving into the he said, she said.

Well pitching failed us again but hitting was so so lost 5-1 that's baseball I guess. New catcher Price was 0-4 looked weak swinging.

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…

I meant what I said... Too many people believe (live and die) on every word politicians say. Politicians do not have our best interest in mind. Politicians want chaos and division. Politicians do not want unity. A unified America... "We The People" would be a nightmare for politicians. The only people politicians care about are the ones with the most ZEROS. The ones that contribute the most and the ones that can help get their agenda(s) passed.

I mean they went prep…… that should be all the explanation

Solid debut

Well, Peyton Jones will be transferring from United to play at Dynamic Prep. That's three different schools in three years. SMH

2 out of 3 from the red birds. Monday W 2-1 Tuesday W 7-4 Wednesday L 3-5 The indians are coming to town for a weekend series. Season record: 30-32

I wonder what @BMTSoulja1 has to say about this? BTW, that one in serious condition died. 17 year old.

Wow!

Just keep opening up that pocket book Lamar lol

I actually think this Administration is using it as one way of promoting their ‘America First’ agenda by making it more expensive for other countries to dump product, and it makes U.S. produced goods more competitive. It’s also helping control interest on the debt. I agree inflation is a tax, and a weaker dollar contributes to inflation. That’s the tightrope the Fed is walking right now. For about 2 decades, we had a ridiculous monetary policy of almost 0%. It was going to come back around in all areas from interest, to investments, to goods—which passes down to services. One way to attempt to help inflation is to pay down our debt. Again, the weaker dollar helps. But—for it to really help—spending must also be cut. Your Friedman links are exactly correct. Inflation will never be tamed until we lower our debt, and inflation is a hidden tax.

Just know I saw almost every BU game the last 2 seasons. I’m not here to talk negative about the kid. Just know I’ve seen him starting out as a freshman, I’ve seen his progression. I’ve seen stuff he’s good at. I’ve seen things he needs to work on. But to say he was not utilized is just false.

7 of 16 nationally seeded regional hosts go down in the 1st weekend. Love how chaotic this tournament is.

I am not a big Jon Stewart fan but this is Funny!😂

Tough district for sure… our district is pretty tough as well. last year both rogers and Franklin played in the region final then again this year against each other. Little River Academy went 3 rounds as well I remember Franklin played CH round 4 when they had Grayson.

Well, according to Grok and a 2009 study….. Among firearm suicides specifically, head wounds predominate but show gender differences: A 2009 study of 807 firearm suicides (Wayne County Medical Examiner’s office) found women were 47% less likely than men to shoot themselves in the head (vs. the body/chest). This is often linked to factors like greater co

You really want Trump to fail because you don't want to give him the win. That is truly sad that politics have gotten this bad.

I just spoke with Harold. He doesn't think KLVI will drop sports broadcasts (Lamar, Nederland). He anticipates contracting out with KLVI to continue doing radio broadcasts of Nederland football and Lamar Athletics. Might be on a reduced broadcast schedule but should continue. We will see come September.
