I worked in inner city Beaumont for 15 years, exclusively with families below the poverty line. Lots of them do things right, but lots of them abuse the system. To pretend the abuse isn’t rampant is silly. As someone who devoted what will end up being around half of my professional career to helping and working with the impoverished, I have no issue with more restrictions on what government handouts are used for. Nobody should starve, but other people’s tax money shouldn’t be spent on luxuries.

Had the beatdown been reversed it would be covered very differently. Keep it up Libs.........stuff like this is why President Trump got elected. Oh, the 99 that filmed and did not report it should be sitting next to the 3 pieces of garbage in a jail cell.

You really should quit while you’re behind. This ISN’T civil disobedience. It’s dereliction of duty. It’s a civil offense according to the Texas Constitution, and CAN result in expulsion. The link you posted is great. But, it points out minimum requirements on timing & procedures for implementation. Nothing is written anywhere in the Texas Constitution about not having redistricting on a shorter time basis. Redistricting MUST be done every 10 years after the national census. It could be done every other year. Nothing prevents it. There will be lawsuits either way. It DOES NOT take a Constitutional Amendment. Not sure where you’re pulling all this stuff from, but it must be dark in there. In Texas’ history, only one Party has ever used the quorum break option, even though—historically—they’ve been the majority in Texas. Democrats have used this ‘nuclear option’ four times. 1870, 1979, 2003, and 2021. Now, we have five times. Republicans have NEVER used this option, even though they have actually been the minority Party in Texas for the majority of its history. You say Republicans in Texas are acting like ‘occupiers.’ Interesting. I say they were voted in to represent their constituents, and are the clear majority in Texas. I may not like this redistricting idea at this time. I think it opens a can of worms that don’t need to be opened. But, it’s legal. I could even argue—with the recent population growth—it may be appropriate to relook at the timing of redistricting in general. But, I think it should be something done in regular session & not rushed through at the whims of DC. So far, you’ve been posting a lot about this with very little real, accurate info to back up your posts.

Are y’all that blind? Who doesn’t associate smoking hot women advertising in the free market with the slaughtering of millions of people based on race and religion??? ….. and they wonder why they are doing so poorly in the polls. 🤣🤣🤣

This should be simple but apparently not. There are three branches of government in the Constitution for the separation of powers. One of those is the Executive Branch which is the president and everyone that answers to the president. Article II starts with: The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. Trump fired some bureaucrats from his administration. A federal judge stepped in and said you can’t do that and issued an injunction. The federal judge acted like the Executive Branch is like a union and the head of the Executive Branch, the president, has no control over who serves him without just cause… as approved the the Judicial Branch. An appeal to the Ninth Circus got the same result with a 2-1 vote that the Constitution was wrong and the executive Power doesn’t lie with the president but the Judicial Branch who gets to determine if the president can fire his own bureaucrats. Hmmmmm…. can we say the separation of powers? So an appeal to the Supreme Court resulted in an 8-1 ruling staying the injunction. The ruling was that the government would likely win if the case was fought in trial and then all the way to the Supreme Court where Article II says that the POWER of the Executive Branch will be in a president. Even Kagan and Sotomayor even agreed that yeah, that’s in the very first sentence of Article II. The only dissent was from, you guessed it, Brown Jackson. She is a kook. Her opinion is that the president doesn’t have complete control over the entire Executive Branch…. as is listed in the Constitution. If this was a private enterprise company and the owner wanted to fire an employee, the owner could not do so unless a judge agrees? No wonder she couldn’t define a woman..…..🤣🤣🤣

I have 5 kids….i ve never understood the child tax credit….my kids my responsibility.

High school football officially kicks off today. Good luck to all our coverage area teams. Give us some early reports of practices for this week.

I personally don't see why this ad is causing so much controversy.

Except when you can’t define a woman because you’re not a biologist… 🤣🤣🤣

That’s par for the course…. 🤣🤣🤣

White folks threw around some racial slurs..... As I said, does not excuse the violence, but .....

Week 10 and Week 11 have coverage area teams as the best game. Week 10 is Angleton at La Porte Week 11 is Garrison at Joaquin (I have permission from the DCTF guys to post that info)

Nothing wrong with what he said, you simply live in the pathetic world of reading “woe is me” into every thing that is said, especially if it comes from someone that won’t openly declare hatred for Trump. We could use more Hippys in the world and less victims like you.

There's definitely space issues when you get below 4A because we've tried to keep the magazine at 400 pages. With more and more schools playing football, that dance gets tougher each year Depending on the team we may have a longer write-up on the team page on the website...which team/district are you referring to?? I've passed your feedback on to the editors, etc.

Redistricting should ALWAYS be about the numbers and not political gain or loss. When the population landscapes change, that is time to redistrict. That's warranted. Any other reason for redistricting is simply to gain a political advantage. Neither side should do it. I will say, the Dems that have fled to break quorum should be replaced. Immediately!

It’s called gerrymandering. Both sides are guilty.

It’s all about supply and demand. Globally. Presidents have nothing to do with it. Remember when COVID locked down? Demand went where? To the floor. Price went where? Same place. Wasn’t Trump. It was Economics 101. Global pandemics tend to shake things up. Politicians use the disruption to try and one up each other. As a society we tend to follow the personalities and ignore the details. History repeats and repeats and repeats. Must take an asteroid to reset.

They were in his garage.

He is the Democratic icon, yet he was the only President in US history to be CAUGHT receiving (and lying about) sexual favors in the Oval office.......as well as accusations of sexual assault.......Yet Trump gets crap for being a player when he was in his prime dating hot women.......

You miss the point. Democrats are actually picking socialist/communist candidates. The term ‘Democratic Socialist’ is a made-up load of crud, and is just a slower move towards government ownership with stupid voters actually asking for it. As @baddog has said, it’ll happen before the people even know what hit them. For everything Clinton was, and the benefits he got by being POTUS during the dot.com boom, he was at least a Capitalist.

Reminder and warning to not call people names or call them stupid. If you can't make your point without insults, then don't post. I assume most of us are adults

The smartest thing this government could do would be to start revoking all security clearances at separations of service for either military or political personnel. Obama still has his clearance. Why? Same with any of them. Never did understand the policy of allowing them to continue. If someone needs to be read in, make them pass another clearance based on up-to-date information.

Probably not super relevant to this forum, but on Saturday at 11am Tepper and I will be at Dick's sporting goods in San Antonio at I-410 and San Pedro doing a live San Antonio kickoff show which will be streamed on all DCTX platforms What IS relevant is Dick's and DCTX have partnered for a 20% off coupon that can be used statewide this weekend, so if you need to buy cleats, school shoes, gear for any sport is a great chance to do so!! The coupon code is below: [Hidden Content]

Correct. It’s really a big nothing burger conspiracy. Trump—as has been true in many cases—evidently doesn’t realize even POTUS can’t direct a judge to do something in a criminal case. Appears he still believes he can do pretty much anything he wants as POTUS. While I like many of his policies—especially the new law he recently signed that few heard about making fentanyl a Class 1 so cartels and others could really be hammered—he thinks he can do a lot of things he really cannot. Overall, I think he’s done a decent job so far in fulfilling what the voters asked. Definitely have been some hiccups along the way in some of the implementation.

John Brennan and James "86 47" Comey. [Hidden Content] They have some explaining to do... Love it!

Kinda confusing.....Some think Comey single handily cost Hillary the 2016 election (which would seem to be the opposite of what UT would of wanted)....along with the abuse of Trumps civil rights (I thought UT alum was all about civil rights) knowing the information was false. Some folks think the end justifies the means....as long as trump is defeated.......but as always, what goes around, comes around

That UT education shining through.

If you care to look at morals of past Presidents, even the good ones had issues.....right back to our first one who was a slave owner. Our first lady was a successful model and speaks 6 languages.....I have a hard enough time with one..... I voted for Trump to run the country, not to preach at a Sunday mass....... When I pick a doctor, it is for his skills in the doctors office, not what he does after work.....

Bellville will have another tough slate this season IMO here are their opponents that are ranked heading into the season 4A D1 #1 Celina (Defending State Champions) 4A D1 #19 Ft Bend Crawford 3A D1 #1 Columbus (Defending State Champions) 3A D1 #9 Hitchcock 4A D2 #5 Sealy

Biden and many D's probably on there! Musk made that comment for a reason.. this is politics, u dont make a comment like that with no evidence JMO

Trump wants to redraw the districts to ensure his winning that third term.

People in Huffman have been waiting on this year ever since these guys entered Jr high. Will be a complete shock if they do not win the district handily.

Just look at the comments and who they're from! Same ones quick to point out abortion and murdering babies... President pedo and alot of his pedo supporters trying to brush it off as nothing to see here..

Ready to be told by the resident Debby Downer of how many Astro players need to be released and that "if" they continue to play like this ONE game they will miss the playoffs.

Great song either way.

What Finn did at Lee was top shelf stuff relative to what he had to work with. Not just anyone is going to be able to come in and keep things afloat like he did. I'm expecting the worst.

Agree 100%. The federal government has very few enumerated powers laid out in the constitution, we’re a long way from original intent with the nanny state we’ve created.

I am very interested in the WSJ lawsuit. Nice cover up. Curious to see if gump is willing to be subject to questions. Once again gump never drew any pictures. Epstein and Trump we’re never friends? When your caught with your pants down throw everything at them and see what sticks. Just another dirty old man with money. I was buying into the files can’t be released by either side and now we learn gump ordered the FBI to redact anything trump. Newsome is suing Fox News using the same tactics. Do you believe WSJ didn't do a thorough investigation before releasing the story. Russia collusion, the money that was sent over to Iran by the Obama administration for them to stop making wmd. Lastly Trump once again claiming that Iran facilities were all destroyed. Yet he wants a noble peace prize. 🥱 Yes, Round them all up including the old farts who participated at the island.

Tax Benefits to plan for after passage of OBBB. [Hidden Content]

You kniw, put on some wader, grab a rake and start sifting through the debris to help and locate bodies…. while surrounded by a dozen SS agents.

GCM would be my answer. 0-10 last year. They share a District with North Shore, Atascocita, Summer Creek, C.E. King, Humble, Kingwood, and then Channelview on the bottom with them. The only team in their District they had any chance of beating last season was the Channelview game and of course they lost to them too but other than that CV game all their District games were extreme beat downs from some of the best in the state, at least 2 of which were nationally ranked and surely will be again this year. Now, THAT’S a tough schedule.

So we should just start guessing whose on the list and condemn them with no evidence, like you’re doing? And you’re the MAGA sheep, he controls your life way more than anyone else here except for a few others. Can you tell me why Biden didn’t release the list if Trump was on it?

There's definitely a list and we know who's for sure on it... he'll get a pass cuz the clown deported a few ppl who have already made their way back ova here 😂 They said "I chose the candidate who aligns best with my views" meaning they support pedophiles. They knew about this years ago b4 they nominated the clown... Their defense is "no way Bidens administration had this info and let it go unknown" hell he may be on there along with top D's... cover for each other! 1 big party behind the curtains

A real President taking care of everyone, not excluding those with Kamala signs still in their yard.

Not a bit surprised. Sad beyond words.

Just like I predicted. On cue after 3 straight losses. smh

I bet it reeks of success.

Just felt I could raise him better, in a more stable environment, and that he shouldn’t have to suffer because she decided she wanted out of our marriage. If we’d had a girl, I probably would have supported all I could—but not pursued managing custody. I would have felt she could’ve connected better with a daughter. Of course, she’s been through 3 husbands since. So, a daughter wouldn’t have had it great either I guess. Meanwhile, I’ve been married to my sweetheart, and lived in the same house, for 35 years. It took a lot for a man to get custody back in the ‘80’s in Texas. I was in and out of court for 5 years. Spent just about every dime I had because she kept accusing me of all kinds of stuff. You know the drill. As a man in a custody battle—guilty until proven innocent.
