  1. Put a hold on this nominee!! [Hidden Content]
  2. [Hidden Content]
  3. A British operative was inserted into President Trump’s White House in an effort to tarnish President Trump’s image and then derail the 2020 Election audit efforts. [Hidden Content]
  4. 89 house Dems signed a letter to Joebama saying the greatest threat is global warming. We’re in the middle of a war! Insane!
  5. From the article: "Senator Josh Hawley tweeted tonight that he’s found an alarming pattern in the opinions, advocacy and judicial decisions when it comes to sex offenders and those preying on children. Hawley says he’s seeing a “pattern of letting child porn offenders off the hook for their appalling crimes.” He also notes that she’s advocated for getting rid of “existing mandatory minimum sentences for child porn” and says she’s argued that some people found with child porn are NOT pedophiles, that they are only in it for the collection or are “looking to find status in their participation in the community.” As far as her judicial decisions, Hawley writes “In every single child porn case for which we can find records, Judge Jackson deviated from the federal sentencing guidelines in favor of child porn offenders.” He demonstrates the she’s deviated quite drastically, I might add."

  6. While all of the below is quite true, the summation of the DOE leaves out the important fact that DURING THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, WE WERE COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT of foreign oil. And now we once again rely on the Arabs and others, and import a huge percent of our energy needs. This parable is alive and well after decades. Never more appropriate than now. THE NIGHT WATCHMAN Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert. Congress said, "Someone may steal from it at night." So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job. Then Congress said, "How does the watchman do his job without instruction?" So they created a planning department and hired two people, one person to write the instructions,and one person to do time studies. Then Congress said, "How will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?" So they created a Quality Control department and hired two people. One was to do the studies and one was to write the reports.Then Congress said, "How are these people going to get paid?" So they created two positions: a time keeper and a payroll officer then hired two people. Then Congress said, "Who will be accountable for all of these people?" So they created an administrative section and hired three people, an Administrative Officer, Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal Secretary.Then Congress said, "We have had this command in operation for one year and we are $918,000 over budget, we must cut back." So they laid off the night watchman. NOW slowly, let it sink in.Quietly, we go like sheep to slaughter. Does anybody remember the reason given for the establishment of the DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY during the Carter administration?Anybody? Anything? Anyone? No? Didn't think so!Bottom line is, we've spent several hundred billion dollars in support of an agency, the reason for which very few people who read this can remember!Ready?? It was very simple... and at the time, everybody thought it very appropriate. The Department of Energy was instituted on 8/04/1977, TO LESSEN OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL.Hey, pretty efficient, huh???AND NOW IT'S 2022 -- 45 YEARS LATER -- AND THE BUDGET FOR THIS "NECESSARY" DEPARTMENT IS AT $242 BILLION A YEAR. IT HAS 16,000 FEDERAL EMPLOYEES AND APPROXIMATELY 100,000 CONTRACT EMPLOYEES; AND LOOK AT THE JOB IT HAS DONE!(THIS IS WHERE YOU SLAP YOUR FOREHEAD AND SAY, "WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?") 34 years ago 30% of our oil consumption was foreign imports. Today 70% of our oil consumption is foreign imports.Ah, yes -- good old Federal bureaucracy. NOW, WE HAVE TURNED OVER THE BANKING SYSTEM, HEALTH CARE, AND THE AUTO INDUSTRY TO THE SAME GOVERNMENT? What can possibly go wrong?Hello!! Anybody Home? Signed.... The Night Watchman
  7. If you voted for Trump - you pay $2.00 per gallon. If you voted for Joe Biden - you pay $10.00 per gallon. Why should we pay for their stupidity?
  8. Especially the radical Supreme Court nominee. The radical pick for the the Federal Reserve withdrew her nomination. Good! The Republicans should put a hold on any radical nomination until movement on our energy independence is restored. Even if it means through the next election. I think it's doable as long as we have Manchin in our corner. Contact Cruz and see what he has to say. I will!
  9. Just reported on Kudlow that The Saudia Arabia and the UAE are NOT taking Jobama's calls! How embarrassing!!
  10. One may not like Briles, but one can't deny his success. So, yes, he can, and he will, be part of any coaching discussions!
  11. I heard Joebama told NATO not to do anything when Putin invades. Now that is interesting!
  12. NPR is not going to give all of what Trump said. He went on to say that it's sad what Putin has done. Of course adding that would defeat their narrative!
  13. I just heard that's it's good chance that China will invade Taiwan. What is sleepy JoeBama going to do about it?
  14. I'm going to propose something for your consideration: Let's look at Westlake. 43 years prior to Dodge, only one Title. So, 42 of those years nothing. Do you honestly think that whatever you think took place only when Dodge was there to make him win these Titles, never took place for any other coach in those prior 42 years? How about this: True, Dodge had some excellent QB's. Here's a novel thought. What if it was Dodge's ability to develop these QB's into what they became in high school? You know, both at Westlake and Carroll. I would imagine that in the 42 years prior at Westlake they had talented QB's. But maybe, just maybe, they were't taught what Dodge could teach. Does this sound feasible? Let me know what you think! As for as Dodge at North Texas: It's like comparing apples to oranges. We are talking high school. Urban Meyer, Lou Holtz, and there's other guy, let's see, what's his name, oh, yeah, Nick Saban -- they all couldn't hang at the next level. Trying to prove something by saying some coaches didn't succeed at the next level has proven to not be accurate when discussing their coaching ability!
  15. At Westlake, in the prior 43 years to Dodge arriving only 1 State Title was won. Dodge ended up winning 3 in a row. If the talent was always there then why didn't ALL the previous coaches have at least 3 or 4 Titles apiece? Now that Dodge is gone, we'll see if any future coach there can win 3 in a row. At Southlake, before Dodge, they did have a Championship Type coach who did have 3 Titles. Dodge had 4 with 3 in a row. There was a coach between the previous title coach and Dodge, why didn't he win a Title? The same question goes here as I asked about Westlake: If the talent is/was at Southlake then why didn't ALL the previous or future coaches have at least 3 or 4 Titles?
  16. Thanks for the question. The 2 schools are Southlake Carroll and Austin Westlake.
  17. This is just a plain insult to Surratt to try and prove the point that's it's not about coaching. I say a Championship type coach will be successful at any level. But, it's always good to try and prove one's point with constant what-ifs. Why? Because it's easy and can't ever be proven. As I've said before, there aren't that many top tier coaches out there. So you are probably right that one will not go to PNG. But, was Surratt, Briles, Buchanan and Dodge top tier coaches when they arrived at their respective schools that they won State Titles? NO! All head coaches start their careers as assistants. Not hard to figure that one out. So, could the new PNG coach eventually be a Championship Type coach. Absolutely he could. Will he? It's hard to tell. But, since there aren't that many out there, the odds are against him. That's why if the community actually wants a State Title then you have to put a time limit. It doesn't necessarily have to be 7 years. It could be 10 or 12. Just where the community wants to set the bar. But, overall, if one can't in 7 then probably won't in 20. Again, I was a little disappointed that Westerburg didn't stay on at BH. He was there only 5 years. I think he had them going in the right direction. But him leaving without a Title gives fodder to the "it's not the coach" crowd. I get that. But, I'll match your point: Tod Dodge was able to do it at two different schools! But as I've said before, there are no guarantees. Well, with the exception that the Rams were going to win the Super Bowl.
  18. I heard it from one of the panelist on Gutfeld which is on Fox.
  19. Just heard that Ukraine was/is being used by, but not limited to, Hunter Biden and the Clinton Foundation for money laundering purposes. Has anyone heard this?
  20. So, I'm curious: Do you think/feel, without exception, that ANY coach could have came in at the same time as Surratt and accomplished what he has done? You know, 8 titles starting his 2nd year. Do you think/feel, without exception, that ANY coach could have came in at the same time as Dodge at Southlake Carroll and accomplish what he did? You know, 4 out 5 Titles. Or, how about what Dodge accomplished at Westlake? Think, without exception, that any coach could have came in at the same time and replicated what he did? You know, 3 titles in a row. The first one 6 years. Do you think/feel, without exception, that ANY coach could have came in at the same time Briles did at Stephenville and accomplish the same thing he did? You know, 4 titles in 7 year years. The first one was in the 6th year.
