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.

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… 🤣🤣🤣

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.

The amount of rent-free living President Trump (yours and mine President) is doing in some people's head is amazing.

Y'all cut UT some slack. He or She is hangry since the protesting of beef has started 🤣

A little early, but ready for the new season in the new digs. This meeting marks the 65th Border Battle between these two heated rivals. The rivalry began in 1946, and is one of the oldest town vs. town, big school rivalries in the state.. It was honored as one of the Great American Rivalry Series Games in the nation in 2015. La Porte leads the all-time series 32-31-1. Deer Park has won the last 4 contests. This will be the first time the game has been played at La Porte since 2022. Not a more fitting game to initiate the new Bulldog Stadium than this long time rivalry. The capacity of the stadium will be tested right off the bat. La Porte finished last season 10-4 in 11-5A D1 with a second consecutive District Championship under Coach Berneathy and staff, and eventually lost to district mate Angleton in the R3 Finals 24-21. They return a solid core of players with an eye on a bigger prize in 2025. Gone is the three-headed monster of Barnes, Sandolph & Simon. So, it will be interesting to see how the offense is adapted with Simon as the feature back. La Porte returns 7 on offense, and 7 on defense. La Porte is ranked 6th in the State in 5AD1 by DCTF. Deer Park finished last season 8-3 and 6-1 in 24-6A and lost to North Shore in Bidistrict. They will have new--but talented--skill position players. They return solid, experienced, big (as always) lines on both sides of the ball. The Deer return 4 on offense, and 5 on defense. DCTF is predicting a 3rd place finish for the Deer behind Dickinson & Clear Springs, and another playoff appearance in 6AD1. This rivalry game always has some unexpected twists and turns. It's like NASCAR having Daytona right out of the gates to start the season. Emotions are always high for both teams. But, this year may have added incentive as La Porte will want to record a tone setting inaugural victory even more at the new Bulldog. Deer Park will want to ruin the opening with a win of their own. Deer Park won the last meeting in 2024 at Abshier 25-22. The game should be broadcast on the free LPSportsnet YouTube channel for those not lucky enough to get seats.

No excuse period! This same energy we all should have with Maxine. They should be prosecuted no matter the race. Same energy should be used for the people who hurt kids. Not going to the extreme of making them comfortable.

I think Hardin is going to be really tough.

Another progressive activist, economic justice socialist warrior is leading the mayoral race in Seattle. It’s clear the far left Socialist wing of the Democratic Party has all the momentum. The Democratic Party as it was known from the Kennedy days is gone. They may as well change their name to The New Socialist Party.

Ditto… im still working in Bmt….and plan to stay for another 13 or so years.

After my college day post, you may want to re-think that lol

I get that. But if Reps (both sides) were to do this all the time without any immediate repercussions, then how can legislature work fluidly? I can certainly understand voting someone out because they no longer rep your beliefs and values. But I don't need to vote someone out if they don't show up for work. That should be handled accordingly and immediately. Just my opinion. Would feel this way if the sides were reversed.

People don’t abuse food stamps…. yeah, right. Head in the sand. Lmao

I know I can’t walk away from my job just because things aren’t going my way.

I wouldn't mind government ran stores for people needing food assistance. These grocery stores would have basics and not ribeye's or lobster. These folks could be issues a card that only works in the government run grocery stores. This would limit what they could purchase.....Plus beans, rice and ground meat don't have a huge resale value...

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

I know you trying to dig at Big Girl, but you’re calling your own self out.

Man was I in love with her when I was about age 11 (and beyond)... I think she was responsible for a lot of missing socks.

LOL ok

I've hired people and ended up having to let them go for poor work performance. The bow down narrative is just a new Democratic talking point......before you were conditioned to say it, how many times in your life have you said it......my guess would be zero I will say, Democrats and the media are good at repeating messages......

Happens even at a more local level. In 2021, Democrats (with Lina Hidalgo) redrew the county maps where Republicans lost a Harris County Commissioner's seat. That gerrymandering gave Dems a 4-1 majority, and allowed all the tax increases and other ultra progressive policies to be implemented. Now, after already finding a state loophole to be able to raise property taxes by 15%, Hidalgo wants more for free child care for all.

Bs. Trump can't handle the truth.

You guys are just a bunch of DEPLORABLES. Congratulations!

Annual inflation rates from Trump’s first term: 2017 2.1%% 2018 2.4% 2019 1.8% 2020 1.2% Annual inflation rates of four years under Biden: 2021 7.0% 2022 6.5% 2023 3.4% 2024 2.9% Annual inflation rate for six months under Trump: 2025 2.7% Let me know when you’ve got something…..

COVID and the Weasel’s total ineptitude in managing a crisis gave us 9% inflation.

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.

Looks as if she could possibly be white.

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. 🤣🤣🤣

That's all I hear about is egg prices dropping.. I've yet to see it.. I eat alot of eggs as well.. organic and free range.. no matter price im still buying as well

Not crickets, just no one wanted to respond to your dumb post.

Big defensive tackle that was on varsity as a freshman last year.

Dang, you busted his bubble on that garbage, biased article that I’m sure he searched hours for.
