Sexual preference is one thing. Saying God gave you the wrong biological organs is a different matter. The latter is saying God screwed up, and no Presbyterian faith believes God is fallible. Talarico can’t justify body mutilation by his so-called tolerance and acceptance. He sure can’t justify it by the canons of his faith. He would have to believe God intended for the body mutilation to be necessary for some reason, and desired by God—since God is infallible. I’d love to hear him stand up and justify that one.

The way I see it, he’s got 2 options. Either go against his faith and say God makes mistakes, or acknowledge that trans and self-identifiers have some serious mental issues. Either way, I don’t see him holding the high ground much better than Paxton. At least Paxton isn’t pretending to be a religious leader.

I don’t usually get into religious discussions as beliefs are personal. But, I’ve been wondering how Talarico can have a Master of Divinity from a Presbyterian aligned University, be a church leader as a member of the Presbyterian Church, and believe trans, and surgery to alter your sex is okay. Presbyterians believe God is infallible. This doesn’t seem to square. I haven’t heard anyone ask this question to Talarico. I’d be curious of his answer.

You’re right. I found it. 31-24 LP. That’s the year y’all had just lost Coach Clayton. I’ll fix it. I think the rest are okay.

I know they’re good through 2011. Had those on file and double-checked. The others, I cobbled and used Maxpreps. (I know, I know. But, it’s all I have right now.) Do you remember the score in 2015?

Did a little digging since we always have this question come up. Here's the history between La Porte & Port Arthur. La Porte vs Port Arthur History This year’s District 9-5A D1 game will be the 34th all time meeting between La Porte and Port Arthur. La Porte first faced Port Arthur Jefferson in 1922. This rivalry dates back 104 years! This season will be the 34th game played between the two cities. Port Arthur Jefferson closed in the late 90's and Port Arthur Memorial became the school in Port Arthur in 2002. Here is the breakdown of the last 33 meetings!

Both parties have been brought to us by ourselves. They don’t control our vote.

I’m team limited government capitalism. It’s the team that has created more ‘haves’ than any other system in the world, and many—if not most—of those who think they’re ’have-nots’ would be ‘haves’ in much of the rest of the world.

Not irrelevant. Direct comparison of possible POTUS candidates. What about is a comparison. Both valid. You just don’t like the response. Too bad.

Spineless is Newsom and Harris rushing to endorse El-Sayed as soon as he won the primary. Even Carville had more backbone than that.

For POTUS, I’d consider a Mike Lee (Utah), or even Rand Paul. I’ve already mentioned I’d easily vote for a Rubio/Paul ticket. A Rubio/Lee or Vance/Lee/Paul ticket would be fine as well. Really, any combination of those four would be okay with me. There are many conservative libertarians serving under the Republican banner for electability reasons. Many are members of the Freedom Caucus. I’ve voted quite frequently for Libertarian candidates for local, State, and judicial races. They appear down here regularly. [Hidden Content]

A good start would be to remind people that government isn’t the solution. It’s the problem. Then, direct them to look at Libertarian candidates vs Democratic Socialists. A few more Rand Paul’s wouldn’t be a bad thing.
