Another piece of the puzzle for La Porte. Coach Johnson is a former All-State CB at La Marque. Looking forward to great things from the LP D again this year. Excited to announce our new Defensive Coordinator Domonique Johnson! He comes to us from Katy Freeman HS where he was the Defensive Pass Game Coordinator. Coach Johnson has multiple years experience as a Defensive Coordinator at great programs. He will also coach our cornerbacks. Coach Johnson has playing experience at the collegiate level at Jackson St. University and The University of Missouri! Coach Johnson played professionally for the Denver Broncos, Philadelphia Eagles, Detroit Lions, Washington Commanders and Indianapolis Colts! Welcome to LP Coach! #OneTeamOneHeartbeat

The DOJ employee that threw the foot long subway sandwich at the agent got fired, and is now charged with a felony. Next time, he needs to stick to a 6”. That would only have been a misdemeanor.

As one of the few posting here that haven’t voted either ‘for or against’ Trump (Yes, I was one of the 4.5 Million/3.3% that voted for Johnson in 2016, and didn’t vote in the last election), I just try to add some facts vs total opinion. Sometimes, I try to add a little wit and sarcasm. Probably fails most of the time. Many times, what someone posts makes me research more and learn. I like that. Hopefully, what I post helps others think about things from a different perspective as well. Although, not sure If what I link to even gets read. I typically focus on economics and personal liberties. I try to keep up with SCOTUS and the economy. Much of the other stuff posted I have to read about because it isn’t something I would normally seek out. If I’ve offended anyone, it wasn’t my intention.

I think I read in the article posted that Trump helped her with another rampant crime issue in 2020. Sounds like New Mexico has a serious fentanyl problem.

Not a Dem., but I don’t think she’s calling for the Guard yet. As I understand it, she’s allocating funds for cooperation. Sounds like the people requested help, so she’s complying. I really have no idea how the Guard situation would work on Tribal land. I assume the Tribal Governor would have to okay?

One of the other local sports magazines/sites has the district finish: La Porte Angleton Kingwood Park Friendswood Crosby Porter Kempner Pasadena

That wasn't the point. I was agreeing with @Separation Scientist on groups that would influence/choose candidates. The three major influencers in Dem circles as far as $$$ are Soros, Bloomberg, and Holder's PAC. ...Which also brings up an interesting question. I'm not sure election laws have caught up with cryptocurrency yet...

Stepp has personally picked LP & Angleton to switch up this year with Angleton handing LP a district loss, and LP beating Angleton in the Region Finals.

^^THIS^^ And don’t forget Eric Holder’s group. He was counseling Democrats on redistricting yesterday with Hakeem Jefferies and other players.

She was probably IMMEDIATELY released on no cash bail.

I’d say the Democratic Party hasn’t been ‘democratic’ since 1968 when they introduced superdelegates. But, how many Democratic voters even know that? They actually still think their vote counts even though for two consecutive cycles they’ve been shown it doesn’t. More delusional than even the rest of us. My vote in Harris County hasn’t meant much since 2008. Might as well be in Travis County, even though La Porte is the most conservative voting area in all of Harris County. Just not enough population. Pretty sure folks on here are aware of how I typically have voted. Still, I always look for the least intrusive candidate’s policies. IMHO, we’ve already given up enough personal liberty. We can’t afford to lose any more. I gave blood for our freedoms. Not to be controlled by either Party.

I was thinking about y’all’s QB situation, and had BH on my brain. Sorry. I’m not sold I see SCOTUS approving a change in the census/apportionment. If they don’t, seat apportionments won’t change until 2032. Long time away. As far as NYC imploding, it won’t be seen by the majority. How often do you see anything about Chicago that’s not on Fox? I don’t think the majority are that engaged. You have more faith in the everyday voter than me I guess. I also think you underestimate the allure of ‘free stuff.’ (Didn’t you post something about Jesse Waters interviews and other people on the street interviews, or was that someone else?) But, you could be right.

No offense, but Barbers Hill isn’t mainstream America. Just because Dems are at an all-time low approval doesn’t mean the voters will switch Parties, and it doesn’t guarantee Republicans will show up to vote Republican. I’m reading a great number of both Parties are moving Independent. Texas will lose as many seats as California if illegals aren’t counted. I want less government intervention—from either Party.

I fail to see how very likely electing a Socialist/Communist Mayor of NYC and Seattle, already having one in Chicago, and—closer to home—having basically a Socialist Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo and 2 Council Members reflects people waking up.

You’re just finding out the difference in a libertarian & a Republican. Now, it should be more clear where we align & where we don’t.

Incorrect.

You are correct about the status of DC. Also, as I mentioned to you in your thread about this, the next time Dems have control of Congress & POTUS, it only takes a simple majority to accept DC as a state. BANG! Two more Senators, at least one Representative, and electoral votes that will be 100% Democratic. Dems won’t have to gerrymander more states. They’ll just create new ones. Trump is giving them the ammo—so to speak. The Guard wasn’t needed. Do what needs to be done with law enforcement available. Reorganize. Ramp up. Just not with the Guard.

Somebody better put their thinking caps on… First, I don’t know of any Serving who relish this type of duty. If they do, they’re not the ones you want doing it. They are not the droids you’re looking for… Second, since it’s not a desirable duty, recruitment—already at historically low levels—will suffer more. Not good. Third, if these actions continue, and are allowed to continue at any time, in any location, the 2nd Amendment will be in inherent danger. At the least, gun control will be ramped up immensely by advocates with the normal excuses for gun control PLUS the addition of having legal authority, and the capability to rapidly deploy a specially trained Guard force anywhere/any time. I can hear it now: ‘The public doesn’t need to protect themselves. We’ll do it for them. We have the capability and authority now.’ I don’t want anyone to have any more excuses than they already have to try and curb my 2nd Amendment rights. I trust myself to protect me and mine. The last security threat gave us the Patriot Act, warrantless wiretaps, limitless & unaccountable surveillance, and other extra judiciary actions all approved by secret court proceedings. Trump was caught up in it himself! The best intentions are always just that. Until the government gets control of them. Remember Reagan’s 9 scariest words. Take them to heart. Just fix the laws that protect the criminals more than the victims.

I’ll keep my 2nd Amendment rights. Thank you very much.

Pentagon planning ‘quick reaction force’ for civil disturbances: Report Internal Pentagon documents reviewed by the Post lay out the parameters for a “Domestic Civil Disturbance Quick Reaction Force,” calling for hundreds of guard members outfitted with weapons and riot gear to be on constant standby and deployable in as little as one hour. [Hidden Content] Point blank—from my perspective—I DO NOT LIKE THIS AT ALL. PERIOD

DC is a carve out. It’s all Federal land, under Federal jurisdiction. No issues—personally—with Feds taking over Met Police for their 30 day limit. No issue with replacing current leadership staff & reorganizing. But, my goodness, they have a police force of over 3,000 for a population of around 650,000. That’s strictly the Met police. Doesn’t count Park Police, FBI, DEA, Secret Service, and other assorted alphabets. The issue isn’t numbers. The issue is the soft on crime stance. The Feds can actually modify sentencing guidelines in the DC jurisdiction. It’s within their authority. Sounds to me like they need to put more emphasis on a gang task force like Houston had to do in the East Houston/North Shore area—which was known as the hub for the Cripps & Bloods, who then started working together with MS-13 and other foreign groups. It’s still the hot spot in Texas. But, they’ve cleaned it up a lot.

It’s not. DC has more law enforcement per capita than any other metropolitan area in America. I’ll say it again. The issue is catch and release, cashless bail, and the juvenile system. Some of these kids are being recruited because it’s known they won’t be prosecuted.

I really liked the young man LP saw in the PO’s last year. He was put in a tough spot. But, I thought he threw a really good ball. Looked like he could run the ball as well.

Also, in Tepp & Stepp 5AD1 podcast preview, Stepp is picking La Porte over Lone Star for the 5AD1 Championship. So, Tepp is picking Aledo over Angleton. Stepp is picking La Porte over Frisco Lone Star. Pretty high bars to reach. R3 PO’s are a murderer’s row. 9-5AD1 looks to be the only district with at least one cakewalk PO matchup.

Lol… Talk about timing. Carville: Democrats have to add states, expand Supreme Court to 'save democracy' [Hidden Content]
