More Fake news.  He sold the house in the 90's.

 

He sold that house in 1996, but I guess facts don't really matter.  Bought it in early 70's for less than 200K and fixed it up.  Easy to look these things up.

I served in the military and place a high value on it.  With that said, I do not automatically accept, unchallenged, the values/opinions of any individual whether civilian or military.  There are plenty of people who don't like Trump.  But there are a lot to do.  I wonder why it is that we never hear about those people?  Could it possibly be that the media is willing accomplice in the effort to get Trump out of office?

You were quick to lump them all into Swampsters without even looking at the list. I agree there are Swampsters at all levels just like in the public sector, but there are also some good career minded people.

Nothing conspiracy about the death rate of .044 of one percent an that’s using the pumped up numbers. 

Death rate is deaths divided by cases and that is not .044 of one percent. So maybe not conspiracy but it sure is not facts

Just asking for facts. Problem with both sides of political environment is scare tactics that is fed through conspiracies.

Yeah, but for a population near 135,000 that’s .00001% You have to look at total population. Duh. 

But he said mortality rate which has nothing to do with total population. 

Then his use of death mortality rate is wrong then.....but then again, facts don't seem to be real important in this board.

Just the 2 local counties  Jefferson and Hardin has  135 deaths out of 8016 cases which gives 1.68 percent instead of the .00044 of 1 percent death rate mortality rate you came up with.  That is why I'm trying to understand your math

Look at the CDC numbers for Texas genius. As of last week Texas had .00044 of 1 percent death mortality rate. Even with a bunch of phony numbers. You can but into all the hysteria if want . I don’t!

what numbers are you using to do your math?  Total number of Texas cases?  and Total number of texas deaths?  just trying to see math

so an article on a website started by a political consultant is always right?

Sweden didn't lock down as much as U.S. but it also put recommendations in place and the people followed the recommendations closer over there than many followed rules here.  Sweden's population is only around 10 million and is not a good comparison to US.  Sweden and Denmark are right next to each other and similar demographics.  Look at how they compared during this time. 

How many conspiracy websites do you visit?

You can always find dems who will back a rep and vice versa if you look hard enough.  Here are some former national security officials who served during the administrations of Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, and/or Donald Trump, or as Republican Members of Congress that happen to be against Trump.

Some want to vote none of the above, but that is not an option.  I think most already know who they are going to back for the presidency.  I just hope everyone takes some time to look at other positions that will be on the ballot.  Don't vote straight ticket as both sides have some crazies in their mix. Do a little homework as this election will be important just like all elections are important in some way.

I am not a Democrat and my family is not, but I found this interesting from a Democrat..

OPEN LETTER TO DEMOCRATS
I did not write this but it needs to be shared...
I just have a few questions for you....Let me start with, I already know you don't like President Trump...that's a given,

SO
let's move on from that...
How about the division of America..
Do you really blame Trump for that?
How about when NONE of the DEMOCRATS showed up for his inauguration? Don't you think that started the division? He hadn't even been president yet, and EXCEPT for Clinton and Obama, not one democrat showed up....Is that when Trump divided America? Can you imagine if the REPUBLICANS didn't show up for Obama's inauguration because they lost??? Can you even start to imagine what would have happened?

How about when 19 minutes after Trump was inaugurated, the Washington Post declared the IMPEACHMENT CAMPAIGN has STARTED? Was that when Trump divided America?
How about when Nancy Pelosi ripped up Trump's state of the union right in front of the world, showing complete disrespect for the president of the United States? Did that bring the country together and is THAT when Trump divided America?
How about when America had to endure, 3 years and over 30 million dollars spent on trying to PROVE that Trump only won because of RUSSIAN COLLUSION and NOT because America voted him in and 17 democrats did EVERYTHING in their power to PROVE that there was Russian Collusion...and came up with ZERO...?

Was THAT when Trump divided America?
I can't even start to go over the NEGATIVE PRESS he's received since his surprise win...
Remember, the DONORS, the likes Bloomberg, who gave 27 million, Tom Steyer who gave 17 million, George Soros who gave 9 million and MANY MORE that gave MULTI-MILLIONS to Hillary, wanted a return on their investment...
Do you really think that donors give MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS just because they love Hillary?
NO, these weren't campaign donations, they were INVESTMENTS into what HILLARY had promised them when she became president....
They were so sure she would win and they would be SHOWERED with HUGE RETURNS, and when it didn't happen and they LOST all those millions, they went all out to TAKE TRUMP out of OFFICE by any means possible...
DID YOU KNOW that 90% of the Mainstream media and the corporations that own them, are owned by or run by BIG DEMOCRAT DONORS? You can verify all of that for yourselves...I did...
Since the moment Trump won, even before he was inaugurated, the mainstream media's reporting was 92% negative on Trump, do you know why?
It was those big donors that lost their dream of MILLIONS of dollars, on their returns that they were going to receive win Hillary was president and they weren't going to take that loss lightly...They needed to PUNISH TRUMP and those that VOTED HIM IN...
I've said this since the night he was elected...
"There is NOTHING the left won't do to take down our President”, our country and us, no low they won't go to, to get their power back", and sadly, we have seen this every single day since his election.
Let me ask you this...Have you ever listened to Trump or appreciated any accomplishment or campaign promises he's kept, have you ever gone to one of his rallies or have you just closed your mind to ANYTHING he does?
Please ask yourselves the following questions, if you dare...
What has Joe Biden done for America for the last 47 years that he's held an office?
What did Joe Biden ever do for BLACKS when HE and Obama were in office?
What has Joe Biden ever done in his entire life to create a private-sector job?
What has Joe Biden done to help the American middle class worker?
Let me also ask you this...Why do you think there are so many people tearing down statues, our burning flag, beating up police officers, disrespecting our founders and hating our country?
It comes straight from our SCHOOLS that have slowly been tearing down our history...
If there is a teacher out there, please tell me the following:
Do you teach the truth that it was the DEMOCRATS that:
Were the KKK?
That the GRAND LEADER of the KKK was Robert Byrd, who was elected to congress and served for decades, and that it was Hillary, Bill, and Obama that gave his EULOGY praising him?
That the DEMOCRATS fought the Civil war to KEEP SLAVERY?
That the inner-city ghettoes were created by DEMOCRATS to keep control of slaves after they were freed?
That planned parenthood was founded in inner cities to CONTROL the BLACK POPULATION?
Is any of this in your history books? Let me ask you this as well.
Can a student speak up when he/she disagrees with a teacher when they say that Trump is a horrible president or the electoral college has to be eliminated? Don't think so?
Well, I know a student that actually happened to...When the teacher said it had to be eliminated because Hillary lost, and he stated the reason it should stay,
She ripped him apart and gave the entire class a 5 hour test, and stated it was because he DARED to disagree with her...
Is that happening in your schools?
I'm only asking questions....I'd like your answers..
President Trump and his entire family has been vilified, demeaned and disrespected, for one reason and one reason only.......HE WON...
Have you noticed the DEMOCRATS only throw tantrums and OBJECT to everything he does and have NEVER ONCE gotten behind him to make America the best it can be?
WHY? They can't afford to get behind him...he would WIN AGAIN, and they can't let that happen....if he wins again, the Democrat party will be destroyed and they know it...
Did you notice that the "CAGES" the left claimed that Trump built to put Illegal children in, WERE BUILT BY OBAMA for the very purpose of PUTTING ILLEGAL CHILDREN IN?
Was THAT all over the news when Obama did it? The very same "CAGES"...but the media was silent!!
How about when Trump commuted Roger Stone's sentence,and was DEMONIZED 24/7 but NOT A WORD when Obama commuted 1715 inmates, which included 330 that he granted on his last day in office...
DID WE EVEN HEAR one WORD about it? Were there reporters even reporting it...NO! Just look at the difference in the reporting. By the way, since Trump's been in office he's commuted 10 people...compare that to Obama...Is that reporting fair?
How about when Biden and Obama allowed the H1N1, the SWINE FLU, to INFECT MILLIONS of Americans before declaring it a health emergency....
Was the press losing it's minds and calling it the OBAMAFLU AND BLAMING OBAMA and BIDEN for the spread ? SILENCE!
Compare this to the NEGATIVE COVERAGE that Trump got when, he immediately halted travel from China when, in February, Nancy Pelosi went to Chinatown and said come on down, or when DeBlasio, in March, said ride the subways and go to broadway...BUT those same people are blaming Trump for the spread of coronavirus..
A FINAL QUESTION:
What have the DEMOCRATS done to help make America the best, to get behind a president that works tirelessly to care about WE THE PEOPLE instead of using us as political pawns..
What have the democrats done for people of color EXCEPT for GIVING ILLEGALS more rights than citizens and having us pay for it...
JUST imagine what this country could accomplish if the Democrats worked with him on the economy, the coronavirus, the inner cities where he's created opportunity zones, job training etc.
When Trump tried to get school choice for inner-city students they ran Betsy Devoss out!! The dems running those innercity schools wanted no part of school choice.
Have you ever wondered why it's cities that have been run, for decades, that have the MOST HOMELESS, the MOST CRIME, the most MURDERS, the worst INNER CITY schools, ARE ALL RUN BY DEMOCRATS???
If you haven't started asking yourselves those questions, maybe you should..
As I said, my entire family used to be democrats, but NOT ONE will ever vote for a democrat again....They asked themselves the same questions and the answer was clear....

Both sides are getting worse every election and usually these long posts are riddled with untruths.  Just read the first part of this post and there are errors.  There were Democrats at the inauguration so this is false, though there were quite a few missing.  Skipping inaugurations is nothing new in politics as there were republicans that skipped inaugurations of Clinton and Obama.  Inauguration skipping goes back to at least Woodrow Wilson when some skipped in support of Women's right to vote.  

I'm not a fan of either candidate, but we will have to decide in November.  Hopefully we can get some real information to base our decisions on instead of false stuff floating on the internet.

Also congrats to 2A POY Jay Buckley from Shelbyville.  Another kid in our coverage area who has had a “decent” career.  

yes, I was being facetious.  Braelon is one of the best scorers I've seen at the high school level and I only popped off about the height as others would mention it over the course of his career on here.  He was always worth the ticket to get in.

 

Decent career for a short guy.  I remember when he was young and playing on Silsbee Jr. All Stars.  He could light if up then and was never afraid of anything in front of him.  I've enjoyed watching him when I could through the years and I'm glad I never had to face him when I played.  Good luck to him in college.

Nederland playing well at then end of the year or BH about to make an early exit?

We played sloppy and Nederland played well.  They worked the ball around nicely and gained momentum late in 1st and rode it a while.  We open up with Texas City which we beat early in the season.  If we come back together as a team and hit the 3s, we have a chance.  Nederland has improved over the later half of the season and may get some playoff wins this year.
