DHS Secretary Kristi Noem on Minneapolis shooting: "This looks like a situation where an individual arrived at the scene to inflict maximum damage on individuals and to kill law enforcement." And this is the official response… a complete lie. It’s Orwellian at this point. “We’re making it safer for you” while killing anybody who doesn’t agree.

Sir, you should watch a video instead of spewing what “they” tell you. The victim never attacked, never resisted, and had already been disarmed when he was murdered. More and more angles keep showing the same facts. When did you become okay with masked federal agents shooting civilians with complete immunity from investigation, much less punishment? You seem like a decent person-my guess is that you’d a completely different opinion if we had a different President.

Watch the clip that I just posted. You never even see the victim resist, much less attack. He was pepper sprayed, thrown to the ground, beaten, disarmed, then shot. By a gang of masked federal agents in broad daylight on a city street in the Heartland, and y’all try to defend it.

Watch the videos… silence them if it helps you. Specifically the point of view from the lady in the pink coat on the sidewalk, plus the angles take from the street. The victim was filming on a cell phone in the street, waving traffic (who I think may be ice) to come through. He retreats to the shoulder of the road, and a female who was closer to traffic also retreats. An ice agent approaches and violently shoves the female to the ground, and at this point the victim DOES possibly push the ice agent away from the female that was shoved, then moves to help her up from the snow. The ice agent pepper sprays both the victim and the female, other agents swarm in and begin striking and pistol whipping the victim. You can then hear an agent scream “he’s got a gun.” You then see an ice agent in a grey jacket move from the scrum back towards the street holding the victim’s pistol in an outstretched hand. A split second later you hear the 7-12 gunshots ring out. What’s sickening is that our leaders immediately rush out with lies, accusations, and blame when the video shows something totally different than what they proclaim. The United States can’t take much more of this.

What’s crazy to me is that there are WAY more illegals in Texas… why aren’t they snatching people out of their houses down here? Why Minnesota? I’m sure it’s just coincidence that their governor ran against Trump last time.

Pre-MAGA Republicans: “Don’t tread on me!” Post-MAGA Republicans, when masked federal agents keep executing American citizens in the heartland… “they got what they deserved!” It’s really sickening to see what Republicans stand for today.

Somebody (I can’t remember who) asked a couple of years ago which would happen first… WOS missing the playoffs or WOS going back to state? Mustangs are headed back to state.

I haven’t seen Newton play this year, but they are whipping the hell out of people. I have no doubt them that they’re about to pick up some hardware again next week.

They learned how to spell “Gunter” on their spirit signs a couple of years ago. Nobody wants to teach them how to spell “Wall.” Just kidding, it’s an old joke. My apologies to Eagle Nation.

I’m thinking Newton is all alone in Dallas. But I hope I’m wrong. *edit. I hope I’m wrong about Newton being the only SETX team there. Hopefully all three can make it.

I was just about to report this post for vulgarity, but thought it wiser to just be thankful and mind my own business. 🤣😂🤣

We’ve been back and forth between D1 and D2 a few times. Truth be told, we’re a better fit as a school in D1. Our band and drill team are bigger than most D1 schools, plus we travel well. We’ll be fine wherever we end up.

It’s not a good insult to say “BC took the easy way out by opting up to whip our tails and go three rounds.”

It’s just a weak mindset. If you asked the PNG community if they’d rather go four rounds with 3rd or 4th generation Indians, or instead take transient talent from anywhere and proudly proclaim themselves the “MECCA” just to win against their crosstown rivals and even get another ring…. They’d be Faithful. But…. For my friends from DTX. A house built on shifting sand doesn’t last forever. In a few short years the winds will shift and all of that “talent” won’t be suiting up for SOC. They’ll be on to the next big thing. It happens over and over, and you’re nothing special. In a few years people will be asking “do you remember when SOC was good? What ever happened to them?”

Good job, Titans!

It’s not about demographics. It’s about stacking teams. And it’s currently within the rules, which is unfortunate to teams who don’t have the the ability to consolidate the athletes from six high 5a high schools onto onto one team, but still play 5a D2 football against teams who don’t have the ability to consolidate players to a single team. It’s just not anything to be proud of… that’s all I’m saying. How did TJ, Lincoln and SFA stack up against the Indians back in the day, before they consolidated into PAM?

Like I said… it’s a different way of thinking and it’s unreasonable to expect you to understand.

You’re missing my point. If a Golden Triangle school could pull athletes from the entire Jefferson/Orange/Hardin County area while still maintaining a 5A D2 sized enrollment, they’d be competitive, if not beat SOC. The athletes would be comparable, but facilities, community support, coaching, etc would outdo what SOC can offer. But geographically it’s not possible here in SETX, but it is possible in Dallas because the attendance zone is smaller in geographic size. The situation isn’t wrong, but it’s not really fair, either. But using a magnet or charter system to form a super team, then being proud of the fact you beat teams who aren’t able to consolidate athletes from a 6 school attendance zone isn’t anything to be proud of. Example…. Our local youth football league (STJFL) takes on all players, then fields teams accordingly. Some cities like ours (population 8,000) would field two teams for each age range because that many kids signed up. Then you have one of our neighbors (population 50,000) put together a single team. They hold tryouts, cut kids, etc…. It’s a select team. If your select team drawn from a pool of 1300 kids is beating the 30 kids assigned to a team from a pool of 90 kids… it’s nothing to be proud of. But I think it’s a flaw that isn’t seen as a flaw in some communities. But y’all have recruited another fine team this year. Congratulations on your “win.”

Any team pulling from a population zone whose size matched the zone that SOC pulls from would be equally stout, if not more so. It’s the reason that Newton can’t compete with Allen. When you have 300 kids to pick from, you get a certain level of talent… if you’ve got 15,000 kids to pick from, you’re going to end up with a team that wears out teams who have 2200 kids to pick from. That’s not coaching, that’s not talent… they’re not breaking the rules, it’s just not something to be proud of.

It’s comical to me when places recruit a super team then feel pride despite the fact that they couldn’t win with the talent they had on hand. Especially when you think what would happen if schools like PNG were willing to ignore the rules with all of the resources at their disposal. I’d rather lose with our kids that grew up here than win with some kids who stopped here for part of a season.

Does your team have a game thread for their matchup today? 😂🤣😂

Let’s be honest. LCM quit.

Well… our kids are gonna pile onto a couple of buses and head over to New Caney. When they get there, they’re gonna put on the red and white, bite down on their mouthpieces, and get after Kilgore for 48 minutes. It’s a game that nobody expects BC to win…. Heck, most people are predicting a blowout. But I don’t think so. It’s a chance to see how we stack up against the best- if you ask me, this is the true state championship game. Whoever wins this one should have a cakewalk on through to Jerry World.

That’s the team that I’m thinking about. I wasn’t sure of the year.

Nice work, Neighbors… it’s good to see y’all back where you ought to be-headed deeper into the playoffs.
