Every American's personal data is at risk of fraud after DOGE's alleged mismanagement, Social Security's former chief data officer tells MarketWatch
-
As I stated, he should have stayed in his truck. Since--from the videos I've seen--he got out, left his truck in the busy intersection, and physically confronted the female student, the assault charge seems appropriate. He should also have been given some type of traffic citation. As for the students, they were fine separating the two. They could have used just enough force to separate and hold the MAGA hat man while one of the others called the police. Instead, they chose to gang up on him and physically assault him with multiple students. In my opinion, that's where they also should be charged with assault. They don't get a free pass just because they're students. Their parents applauding their actions is not a good example at all, and sends a definite wrong message they can just take the law into their own hands whenever they want and think they're heroes. I'm not even sold they had a First Amendment right to leave school without permission and protest. Yes, they have First Amendment rights. But, they are also expected to be in school. For those that say they have a right to free speech, and to protest--if you take that argument to conclusion--it means any student can just leave school at any time they want because they want to protest anything under the sun, and the school can't do anything about it. I don't believe that's how it works. I believe the school has some liability here as well. To me, if the Buda police don't also charge the students involved in the physical altercation that appears excessive, they are negligent at best, and not applying the law equally because of bias. At this time, they appear to be justifying their actions because of their youth, and--I sense--pressure from the town & the town's Mayor. Like I said, this sets a very bad precedent to me. @tvc184 probably has a much better take on something like this than me. I'm just going with my layman's understanding based on what I've seen and read of the incident. My legal experience has to do with contract law in engineering and construction business agreements, and some other business law from owning a non-profit.

I believe at realignments, teams generally redraw for home/away for district play. I was trying to find other 9-5A team schedules, but La Porte seems to be the only one out so far.

If you are going to continue to purposely lie, don’t use my posts to do so. This is the second time I’ve asked you nicely.

Was his coat similar to this one? What a concept. You should read something besides Gavin Newsome’s X account. You should get out more. As my dad used to say, “Go learn something.” [Hidden Content]

Just common sense to most people. -
Do you even really know what National Socialism was? There’s a big difference between Socialism, National Socialism, and Nationalism. MAGA aligns more with Nationalism than either of the other two. Granted, some of the recent immigration enforcement tactics are questionable. Sounds like a compromise is being worked that accomplishes immigration enforcement while protecting civil liberties. We’ll see.

Houston area school walkouts [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content] As far as the Buda incident, I’m reading they arrested the 45 year old man. But, no punishment at all listed for the teens.

Good luck to y’all as well. Yes, they were good games the last two years. La Porte only had one game to schedule as The Border Battle is a given.

Fort Bend Crawford is an interesting story. La Porte will play them Week 1. They’re bringing back their super QB & WR, along with most of their starters from a 12-2 squad that lost to Kilgore. From what I understand, their zoning and entire setup is meant to become the flagship 6A school in FBISD.

The man wearing the MAGA hat should have stayed in his truck. But, that’s another issue. He had as much right to his free speech as the kids. The 10 or 15 kids that jumped him while it looked like he was trying to retrieve his hat were assaulting—not protecting—as some of the parents were saying as a means to justify their actions. Great parenting. Teaching your kid it’s okay to resort to violence when someone questions your actions, and then congratulate them for it when they were supposed to be in school anyway. I did get a kick out of the video from Minnesota. Walz welcomed students to the Capital to protest, and they wound up fighting and destroying property while they were there. Imagine that. I think it beat out the drunk teen in Kyle, TX protesting and arrested, and the Atlanta kids destroying laptops and such by a nose.

Not familiar with the source. It appears to be right of center from some of the wording. But, the videos are real. Or, should I say ‘unreal.’ [Hidden Content]

Context to this clip is attached below. Regardless of where it occurred, or what happened prior, what’s shown in the clip is still assault. The ISD knew about the protest & actually called the Buda Police. I didn’t read if they called the parents or not. But, since it wasn’t on school grounds, I assume the ISD gave the participants the really major punishment of 'unexcused absence.' That'll teach 'em. Some of the comments from the parents condoning and applauding this are really sad. [Hidden Content]

Schools don’t handle assaults. They pass them off to the LOCAL police and other LOCAL authorities. If here illegally, it then becomes a Federal issue.
