    Trump’s health

    CB is all about reaction. Loves shooting into hornets nests. Trolling is what he does the best. Been that way on this site for years.

  2. I was there. Hillin wasn’t “escorted off the field.” Was there a Buna ISD officer there, yes, but just to make sure he left the field after the ejection. It’s normal procedure when things like that happen. Hillin left immediately after he was ejected without issue.

  4. Back in those days, to load the grain ship, she had to be maneuvered back and forth to level out the grain. The bow and stern mooring lines had to be loosened and tightened to move the ship to and fro. I had nothing to do with their mooring as Continental Grain Elevator was separate from Mobil, but they were next door and we were able to watch. They probably have better loading procedures today, but that’s how it was done in the olden days. Lol. Some of the smaller tankers that were not Mobil owned, had much smaller mooring lines. Their ropes were about 2” diameter and we called them “kite stringers”. Some ships had bow thrusters and were able to dock using just one tug. Bow thruster was a propeller located in the bow that moved the ship port or starboard. Only dealt with one of those. Mobil ships had 4” ropes for mooring. On the bow and stern, the ropes were accompanied with 1” cables. Had a special hook for the cables called pelican hooks. The ropes went in a simple hook because we were able to lift the rope out of the hook to sail. The pelican hook was specially designed to handle the weight of the cable and a release that would allow disengagement. All mobil ships coming in to dock had to pass up the docks and enter the turning basin where the tugs would turn the ship around before mooring so that she was heading out after loading. All ship traffic was not necessarily hauling in crude. Some were sailing in to load heating oil for up north. That was a regular trip. Had a ship named the Grigerosa which brought in Mexican crude. You could smell her before she rounded the bend……high sulphur content. I could go on but I’m sure this is boring to some. I think you have a great knowledge of the refining part. I picked up a little along the way. I was in my 20s when this took place.

  5. I might make it over there. My older brother did 26 years in the Navy and lives in Richmond. I am sure that he will take part. I wish the Battleship Texas was back open to the public but it still has a few months before the final berth is ready in Galveston.

    Y'all?? I don't get in back and forth with CB. I do call him out from time to time when he makes inaccurate posts or falsehoods.

  7. I heard from a very reliable source that Trump is coming after Trumper haters on small social platforms across America starting with SETXSPORTS Political Forum starting Monday. I believe you and CB’s name was mentioned.

  8. Our military leaked information to draw Iranians AWAY from the airman, then attacked them while the rescue team rescued the airman at the correct location, without one UD casualty. That is pretty impression and will go down in the history books😎 I’m not 100% sure, but I believe they called that mission Hook, Line and Sinker. Of true, that is 😂

  10. No, sir. Trump admits that there was massive fraud, hence the need for the SAVE Act. Y’all cheated, Trump and the republicans confessed every time they claim that election integrity is a problem, they’re admitting that they didn’t actually win.

  13. Listening to Brown-Jackson’s logic is hard on the brain. You know, if she was in Japan and stole a wallet then the Japanese police would arrest her but if she had her wallet stolen in Japan, she would expect the police to arrest whoever did it. That’s why we need birthright citizenship. 🤣🤣🤣 I guess when you can’t define what a woman is, that’s about as deep as a person can think.

  18. They didn’t specifically mention the presidency but Sauer in his arguments stated that by 2015 there were like 200 or 500 (I don’t remember the numbers) companies in China whose business it is to send women to the US to have babies and then bring them back to China to be raised by their laws and culture. Then they could return later as they were US citizens at birth. One is the follow up questions for his was something like, is there any evidence of that happening or any numbers of people returning or something to that effect. My follow up might have been, it’s only 11 years since 2015. No one born around then is an adult yet.

  21. Attorneys for Rep. Eric Swalwell demanded in a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel that the bureau refrain from releasing decade-old investigative files involving the congressman’s purported ties to a suspected Chinese intelligence operative. He was pushing for the Epstein files screaming transparency, he changed his tune pretty quick…..lol [Hidden Content]

    Astros are averaging 7 runs a game. Lead MLB in several offensive categories. Flip side, Houston is giving up 5.5 runs per game. Astro pitching is in the bottom quarter of the league in most of the pitching statistics. Only top 5 category is strikeouts and Opponent OBP.

  30. So you’re saying that Trump created Covid virus? Let me guess he was secretly working in the bio lab to create it so he could destroy his own presidency. Lol. He handled it the best he could but was too stupid and narcissistic to admit he got played. The massive voting fraud is real, that’s why we have the idiots that we have in office. No evidence was ever allowed to be presented in any of the cases brought forth. Judges say they didn’t have standing. Lol Until we have fair elections nothing will change and this country will eventually destroy itself. The End

    Saw it, and like everyone else, did not catch it. The insert box even had the correct count and changed after the third strike. lol. Good thing it wasn’t game changing.

  38. If you think Trump is doing this on pen and paper, you are mistaken. He is surrounded by smart Generals. Iran has struck a few us bases because they knew where they were plus luck....Russia helping is strictly unnamed sources......about as probable as Trump and Russiagate, which had all of you believing.

  40. KOGT.COM Silsbee beat Bridge City 6-5. The Tigers scored four in the third off Max Pachar after BC took a 1-0 lead in the first. The Cards added two in the fifth and two in the sixth and had the tying run on in the seventh before Tiger pitcher Matsyn Morris closed the door. Silsbee improves to 5-0 and BC drops to 5-2. – LCM defeated Lumberton 7-3. Jakson Struwe got the win and went 3-4 with a triple and an RBI. Leadoff hitter Mason Istre was 4-4 with a double and 2RBI’s. The Bears (3-2) and the Raiders (2-5) will play again on Thursday.

  41. If marriage is a sacred union between one man and one woman, let’s outlaw divorces. If someone has been divorced and remarried, they’re just as biblically wrong as if they’d married another dude…. And should NEVER speak on someone else’s right to marry since they broke their own vows and have dishonored themselves and God. It’s adultery.

  45. The Bible talks of an eye for an eye. So no, if one commits an unjustified homicide, I have no issue with that person being executed. I am not a Democrat, therefore, unlike you, I do not have selective outrage. Killing an innocent baby is far from comparable to one adult killing another for no good reason.

  46. She is accused of stealing more than $5 million in disaster relief funds.... She could be looking at 53 years in prison But, hey, there is no fraud if you don't look for it...... Not enough wide spread fraud to make a difference?

  48. For me personally, because I was asked to keep quiet by the two parties involved. It's about keeping good relationships. I learned of the hire last week. Was asked to not release the news until Coach Foreman could inform his players. I don't think that's too much to ask. I have always tried to do what the coach has asked in those type situations. Can't speak for other media entities. If you notice, KJAS has no direct quotes from either party. Meaning they hadn't spoken with Coach Foreman or Jasper supt.
