It’s not my opinion. It’s mere fact. There are some restrictions on firearms for illegal non-citizens just like there are for felons or those with mental disorders. My mom’s first husband, a marine, was killed in Viet Nam. His parents were illegal, but he was not. He was the father to my older sister who is half Mexican. I have no issue with immigrants whatsoever, and I am in agreement that the process is a disaster, both procedurally and cost wise. I was just stating that some but not all of the Bill of Rights pertain to non-citizens and illegal immigrants. Including restrictions on firearms. I do take exception to your comment about not knowing any white or black kids who are “willing to work as a carpenter, roofer, mason, laborer, body man, farm worker, concrete finisher, etc.... we need people willing to do those jobs, just like we always have.” I know literally hundreds of them. Regardless, just because your willing to perform an undesirable task doesn’t give you the right to citizenship. I know you’re not saying that, but many do.

So change the process. I do t disagree with your premise. There still has to be a safe, fair and legal process that is adhered to. Open borders is not a safe or fair or legal process. Most, but not all of these rights apply to illegal immigrants. Like the right to bear arms. Their are limitations even on citizens of this particular right. But you are very correct - generally in the Bill of rights, people means people and not citizens.

Definitely not.

Regardless of whatever shakes out, Biden wins. Democrats and secretly Republicans will see to it. Notice you haven’t heard of the egregious Biden laptop scandal in a few days? Nobody cares about truth or justice.

I agree. But what I don’t understand is why it matters. They will continue to count the votes and the true winner will be named at some point, correct?

I sure hope you’re right. I just can’t see it with all the BS. Even his own party is suspect.

No, I do not.

That’s the most frustrating part.

Unfortunately, that’s not true. I wish it was.

Vidor at Lumberton - this ones for the playoffs

No argument, just a question. What about the Brazosport game? Another deceiving anomaly? -
Hell no. I wouldn’t.

Except in High Island... 😇

Yep. It’s worse depending on where you go.

Yep. It means a lot to me. My daughter who lives in Houston early voted about a week ago. She sent me a pic of her and her new husband eating at a restaurant with their “I Voted” stickers on their shirts. Made me proud of her and hopeful.

That’s why we have Austin...

Don’t run it unless you need it if it’s something you want to surprise a team with. You can run it full speed in practice. Worst thing happens is you run it live in the game and it doesn’t work. Then don’t run it anymore. That’s my opinion. Especially a gadget play. Takes away the element of surprise. You can feature a play in a game, but in the next game, change up your formation or shift into it without spoiling the surprise. -

High Island forfeits to Deweyville

I agree with your comment if the China Virus is in play, but I can promise you, my son would sign up to play if there were only 9 kids on his team for his senior year. Not saying it’s right or wrong, just saying... -
Buddy, they’re all cheaters and liars. “Your” side...”My side”, it’s all the same. You know this.

Man, with all the partisanship and propaganda from each side, who the hell knows. Politicians are the biggest bunch of self-serving liars you will find. But I kind of agree with @CardinalBacker ‘s post. If you’re a realist, you would have to. We shall see.

Most important comment of the day!

Amen on that! Celebrate your right and your duty! -
I sit around with my family (most the kids are grown and gone) and watch the results. I may stay up til the next day like last year. Usually the results are apparent by Wednesday and I take everyone out to eat to celebrate our right to vote and our democracy. If my candidate wins, it’s usually a better night than if not. But win or lose, we go out to celebrate the fortune we have in living in a free country with a right to vote. My Mom started this tradition when Reagan won the first time, so I also do it in her honor.

I’m not disagreeing with a single word, but easy on the State Championship history. More of an instance in the archives, wouldn’t you say? 😎 And no, Lumberton has never gotten close.
