I know it’s not his money but it makes you wonder why someone is spending about $10 million for a job that pays about $22,000 a year. 

I say the same thing about the US House &  Senate

The “smart” ones leave with way more than they could make in the private sector.

Yeah cause I really care about the opinions of a bunch of old men who have never played sports and are clueless about whats happening in HS sports outside of SETX…

I take offense to that. I’ve been working pretty hard in my pickleball game. 

Sure wish I knew who the final 4 are.

I’m familiar with that story and the truth probably lies somewhere in the middle. I don’t  trust any of them and we have no idea what goes on behind closed doors. But this is as ugly as I can recall.

You said it.

You’re correct. But I believe you are way ahead of me in the pitch count.

What I'm wrong about Smash Mouth?  Do tell

Wrong about keepin it going. Let it go...

I didn't early vote because I haven't studied all of the candidates for ALL seats well enough to make an informed decision. It's hard to cut through all the BS to make an informed decision.

Pull it up please…show me where I said that.

Dude... It's ok to be wrong. I was once, I think. Let it go.

But with everything that's happened since I cast my last vote for Trump in 2020, I won't be voting for him again. 

I have no issue with that. Just don't vote for Biden...

FIxed it for you. 

I think not. It applies to ALL.

Let's consider what a liberal and conservative politician (at least on the federal level) have in common for at a chance at agreement across the aisles... I'll start:

1. Dishonest

2. Self-serving

3. Corrupt

4. Manipulative

5. Hypocritical

6. Criminal

7. Supercilious

8. Think they're above the law

I early voted for Haley in the primary.  I think she bows out after 3/5/2024 unless she does unimaginably well.  

 

I'll probably just refrain from voting for President if Trump is the Republican nominee... and I'm 99% sure that he will be.  And whoever gets "lucky" and gets selected as Trump's VP pick will get eviscerated (aka Pence) by Trump eventually, just like everybody else who's ever worked for him.   It's like this- All of the liberals/democrats hate him and will never vote for him.  The majority of Independents/Moderates are also so turned off by his actions that they will either vote for someone else or just stay home.  Somewhere near 40% of Republicans/Conservatives are like me.... they just aren't going to vote for Trump.  As easily as I can say that Haley can't win the primary, I can just as easily say that Trump can't win in the general.  

The question is this... who is more ignorant?  The people who vote for the Democrat (presumably Biden) or the people who nominate someone who can't beat Biden?  

I'll put it like this... you have the most powerful person in the Texas House representing SETX... Dade Phelan.  I think there's a very good possibility that he loses to Covey, in large part due to the endorsement of Trump.  On here, I see people who are like "yeah, he's a RINO... he needs to go.  Did you see where Trump endorsed him?"  At the end of the day you're just shooting yourself in the foot because you're going from having the top dawg in the House (the Speaker himself) representing you... and you give that away because he's not MAGA enough for you.  It's a huge loss for the locals, but at least MAGA gets a win, right?  It's the reason that San Francisco kept sending Pelosi back to Washington.  Was she perfect?  Heck, no-far from it.  Was she the most powerful person in the House?  Yes.... case closed... you don't fire that person.  Or at least you shouldn't.  But the Left, while I disagree with them, are proving again that they are politically superior to the Right. 

For what it’s worth, I think Phelan will win.

Yep. Not unlike every other team in that district.

I would like to discuss these one at a time.

Proposition 1 Texas should eliminate all property taxes without increasing Texans’ overall tax burden. YES NO

Questions I have: 

If you take away all of that tax burden, what makes up the difference?

Does this include the property tax burden for municipalities & school districts?

What's the catch?

No takers?

That has every intention to stick around and build culture too should be the goal

It should be, but it won't be. Unfortunately, Lumberton is a stepping stone. The coach who could make it otherwise would never accept a job there in the first place. Sad but true.

No, I opted for the Colin Kaepernick's (Theo Von calls him 'Throwsa Parks") Air Force 1 sneakers. I needed a prop for my thesis "What's wrong with America".

They are located on 73/87 coming from Bridge City and Hwy 69 coming from Mid-County.  That is the only two I have seen, are there more?

Thoughts?

Price tag?

Haven't seen them. Are they simply billboards promoting Port Arthur?
