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

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

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

Newton Eagles football schedule update. game with Liberty-eylau is at Newton and Newton will be at Liberty-eylau the next year. game with Franklin will be played at Henderson.

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?

A lot of big time transfers are being ruled ineligible. Wonder how this will play out for Babin.

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.

Nope. Even if allowed—which the stock purchase contract may not allow in this case—you’d be selling short term. Meaning, you’d pay capital gains tax at your ‘normal’ tax rate. I’m assuming somewhere in the 20% effective tax rate range. Probably higher if you’re single with no dependents, and a decent banking job. That doesn’t count your buying fees. I don’t know your situation enough to know if you’d incur AMT. But, you’d take a loss. You need to sit on it and ride for at least one year to get it treated as a long-term capital gain, and get the lowest tax rate. Sorry to burst your bubble. You still bought a good, long-term investment. Just be prepared for a bumpy ride for a year or two until the first few reports come out, and serious investors can get a better handle on the numbers. The Starlink portion of the business is the profit-making side. Not the rockets. Right now, many are investing in the hype & Musk himself. If Musk were to suddenly not be in the picture, would you have bought the stock? I doubt if many investors would… That’s a scary proposition if you actually wanted to purchase more than just a few shares. The institutional buyers can dump a lot quicker than you can.

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.

Every single victim wore a tshirt in congress? Maybe I missed something.

No matter their color, I can’t believe anyone ever siding with the murderer.

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.

A friend of ours bought in at $135.

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.

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.

I believe it!

Can smell 'em comin' a mile away. lol

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

This Alvarez guy, is he human?

Elizabeth Warren is having a coronary.

We'll finish 81-81, I'm fully expecting it at this point.

Took 2 of 3 from the royals. Series win streak is at 4. Tuesday L 3-5 Wednesday W 6-4 Thursday W 4-2 Weekend series at boston. Season record: 34-34

I couldn’t help it. Lol

From what I hear this year will be one of the best groups of athletes Nederland has had. The question is will the coaching staff be able to put it together to make a run.

Today, President Trump announced that the U.S. Navy has secretly escorted 200 oil tankers out of the SOH. While this is positive news and may have helped temper rising oil prices somewhat, the impact is not substantial enough to prevent a major energy crisis. These 200 tankers transiting the SOH over the past 100 days represent only about 2% of the normal volume—roughly 10,000 ships every 100 days—prior to the war. Furthermore, the U.S. has to deploy major naval and air assets to keep the SOH open. This is not sustainable and works to Iran’s advantage in the long run: Iran can disrupt commerce through the strait with relatively little effort, while the U.S. must risk two carrier battle groups simply to move 2% of the normal amount of oil and gas. - Joe Kent

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

Other than some good BBQ places, it is like California. So, you are not wrong. Keep Austin weird is what they say. I say they have done a pretty good job of it.

Interesting…

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.

Your so out of touch with reality, you perot this is the "golden era" lol... can't be taken serious Also recall you saying over and over " I trust trump" 🤣 🤡🌏
