Well, the Dems' plan is working to perfection... "Trump" up some charges and Trump's die-hard supporters will rush to his defense just to show the Dems that their God can't be taken down... and Trump will sweep up the Republican nomination... then get his bee-hind kicked back up around his ears like he did in 2020.  
Y'all are literally like puppets on strings being manipulated by the left.  It's so sad. 

Two things... we should make it easier to come here legally and also control the inflows... whether legally, with borders, penalties, or whatever means necessary.
 
Secondly, if you REALLY want to stop the invasion, start courting the migrants to be Republicans instead of screaming "GO HOME" in a language that they don't understand.  Nancy Pelosi herself would be on the border stringing barbed wire if she thought the majority of immigrants were going to vote Republican.  

I read somewhere about 35 years ago (way before Google) that the FBI, believe from studies some thing like 90% of major crimes were committed by someone under the influence of drugs or alcohol. It did not mean that they were plastered but maybe a guy about to commit a robbery might have two or three beers to take the edge off. Consumed courage….

I favor a progressive income tax, but something is bad wrong when the upper tax brackets are over 50% (on those who actually pay taxes on their income).  
We pay property taxes on things we own... but we don't pay sales taxes on our real property when it's purchased.  Morally I have a problem with paying tax on income as it accumulates, but then having to cede most of it when I pass, also.  It's always the have-nots who think nobody else should be doing any better than them.   
Neither the state, nor the general public have any right to my estate in front of my heirs.... and to state "well, they should cap that... we deserve that inheritance, not that man's family" just doesn't ring true in a free society.  The idea that my kids will have to sell off  land that's been in my family since the 1800s just to pay off an inheritance tax is preposterous.  Or at least it used to be.

The 4th suspect was taken into custody this evening. Info updated in the link I posted earlier. 

"BC - cannot be our right DC; needs one win or Vidor to lose for Co-DC; cannot be lower than second"
That's not what you said.   BC needs both to happen.   

Help me understand. 
 
Vidor is 9-2
BC is 8-3
If BC wins, they’re 9-3. If Vidor also wins, they’ll be 10-2. How would they be co-champions?
Same scenario if BC and Vidor both lose… Vidor would be a game up.  
I think it’s “and” not “or.”

Neither did Glenn Beck or Bill O'Reilly.  
 
Can't say much about where they've been lately.  Not on primetime cable, that's for sure. 

There are some people who believe that when a police officer is involved in a shooting, he should go to prison, without fail.  I think it's obvious that we've got a couple of those here.  The fact that the shooting occurred is all of the justification that is required for the city to pay out millions, too.  

They walk among us.

You'd be one of those people who go around the crossing arms, get hit by a train, then sue the railroad and the engineer because "nobody deserves to be hit by a train."

Anybody that pledges blind allegiance to a political party or public servant is a clown... kinda like when 95% of the black population votes Democrat.
You and I might disagree philosophically, but at least you're doing some thinking.  That's rare around here.  

They are playing us against each other.

Keep voting for "Republican" candidates that can't win a general election.... you're just as guilty as the guy who voted Dem. 

What could all of these shooters have in common?  It seems like it would be obvious, but I just can't tell what it is about all of this violent crime that seems to be uniform.  
 
Well, maybe we can get to that one day.  In the meantime we need to focus on stamping out systemic racism, abortion, and microaggressions via mis-gendered pronouns.  

It's not going to go away unless people can actually describe what's going on. 

Right.... so with the country on the line, the republicans are going to nominate a guy that can't win the election.  The Dems are to blame for destroying the country, but the Republicans are even more to blame for not putting forth a candidate who could win the election in 2020 and it looks like 2024, either.  

You’re not wrong… but they get mad when they are all lumped in as “deplorables.”
Those on the far right (like the one who just labeled you) don’t realize that they are no different than the vagina hat wearing liberals screaming in conservative faces. They’re exactly the same. 

So you're saying there's a chance?

🤡 

Al Capone gave out turkeys... so what are you saying?

My complaint is and has always been we voters need to be more consistent on the criteria of deserving winners. Some vote purely on the current hype.
I know some vote strictly for the novelty of it.
But, it is what it is. I certainly rather have this way of voting (12-15 media members) than having a fan vote or one or two making the decision.

My picks?
Miller -Silsbee
Smith - Jasper

You're getting slow Old man... took a day and half for that deflection.
