What about the "side walk" in the median of 73 between PA and Winnie? Looks like another waste. I mean it can really be a side walk. Txdot must have some reason for it. Maybe a divider net.

I have not noticed this.....maybe a base for a wall or fence?

Haven't seen them. Are they simply billboards promoting Port Arthur?

They are metal (I think) lighted tower looking signs.....maybe 10' tall

It is a ludicrous spending of public money as window dressing that will be taken out soon by a drunk driver. 

Don't hold back......lol

They are located on 73/87 coming from Bridge City and Hwy 69 coming from Mid-County.  That is the only two I have seen, are there more?

Thoughts?

Price tag?

I think the end is near for Biden. He has been pandered and pampered long enough for those in charge of the Democratic Party and served his usefulness. I think it is getting to the point where the leadership doesn’t want this to continue much longer.

I am not thinking about any resignation by Biden (and putting Word Salad in charge) but rather giving up his delegates to another candidate for the election. It has certainly been mentioned before in these forums but I think the time is growing short. 

I think the longer Biden stays in, the better Trump looks. Naming a replacement soon might change the game but if they wait until too deep of a hole has been dug, it might be too late.

That’s why I think they may be pulling the plug on him soon. I think the grumbling by the Democratic operatives will be too strong in the next few weeks.

How do they combat the optics of skipping over a black VP?  That would be a gift to the GOP imo.

What's your thought on my thought of JoeBama announcing in the Spring that he will not run for reelection?

@thetragichippy

I don't see a graceful way for him to bow out.  I'm not sure how they insert someone other than Kamala. I believe Kamala will be easier to beat than Joe.....She has absolutely done a horrible job as VP.

Agree, not all 50 states.....

They are in a pickle.....If they try and run someone other than Kamala it will be very bad optics. The only way around that is for Kamala to say she does not want it, and they run Michelle Obama.....I'm afraid that could happen....

As originally predicted.....no chance

We (USA) have issues with homeless, unemployment,

I believe I've heard numbers of 3 million let in under Biden's term so far........

We can't take care of our own homeless, yet we bring in 3 million

Biden is over a barrel right now.  He either backs down and let’s the republicans win on this matter, or he openly uses the military to forcibly open the border back up to the flood of illegal immigrants coming in 

The media is also misrepresenting that the SC ruled against Texas.....

Media is stirring the pot as well. 

I don't think Biden is that dumb. If he starts a conflict, I think he will end up on the wrong side of it.

maybe did he bring a real revolver onto the set

That brings up another question I feel needs answering. How did the real bullets get on the property and who brought them.

You mean on that television interview where he was trying to look good in public?

I get that is not under oath. You think he changed his tune when he was questioned by authorities?

Where did he lie?

When he said he didn't pull the trigger.

🤣🤣🤣

As they say, the DA could indict a ham sandwich…..

But it’s taken this DA almost 2.5 years to find another expert and angle to charge him. 

I have a feeling they get him for lying. He claims he didn't pull the trigger.......as you know, guns don't fire by themselves.

We use the appraisal districts value when we submit Home Equity Loans, but 9 times out of 10 the member pays $20 for an AVM (automated value model) to get a higher value to increase the loan amount.  This would hurt banks and credit unions as well. 

He send an appraiser out for full appraisal or drive by.  We never go by tax evaluation. So I don't see it hurting banks

I loved them when I lived in Austin and now visit - It's a LOT easier to navagate and so much cheaper than having to pay to park your vehicle. 

Wayyyy cheaper and a blast.......I would almost ride them to a concert. When we went to see KISS in Austin, the Uber was $15 for 4 of us....we were 2.7 miles away(be design).......When we scheduled our pick up after the show......$127.00.  Those jerks get you there cheap and rape you on the way home 'cause you stranded.....lol

That's not great news..........

BUT, my Son who is 22 and now lives in Austin brought us out to ride the electric scooters. You can stop and have a drink, go to a destination, or just ride around. They are a total blast, even for my 58 yo butt.....when you park it, take a picture and walk away......if it's gone when you are ready to leave, you jump on another. If the battery gets weak, dump it and get another. Lots of fun!

Well who do you hope it is?

I can tell ya of those you mentioned I’m ok with  but the one I don’t want is Nikki Haley 

 

 

I have no idea....lol   

The media will attack Tucker and Vivek to no end. I hope he picks a true conservative that has very little baggage.

Probably the most interesting topic will be who Trump picks for his vice president.

Trump is so unpredictable there is no telling who it will be. 

He claims they are already picked.  I like Vivek, but I hope it is not him.  I like Tucker, but I hope it's not him.......

This was a gift to Trump. 

It will be overturned by Supreme Court, plus it is forcing the other GOP candidates to talk about it being wrong and trump deserves to be on the ballot. 

This is fun to watch

I saw much made on some of the sporting and gun forms where the (rightfully imo) complained about Trump pushing for the bump stock ban as part of the definition of a machinegun.

I didn't like it, but I thought he made a political move to slow down the left's push to go after more gun laws. 

She does not have a chance.....

Face it folks, unless Trump goes to jail or actually stands in the middle of 5th avenue and shoots someone he will be the nominee. 

I don't see majority of his supporters (which is the majority of the Republican party) leaving him this late in the game......

For all you “free thinking revolutionaries” out there, I’m done with your fascist rhetoric and fawning after a chicken hearted wannabe dictator.  This is my last post. Choke on it.(though I reckon few, if any of you have the guts to watch all of it).

 

I hope you are being honest

Lumberton, Port Neches, Nederland, Bridge City, etc........

Beaumont ISD has been the best thing for the outlining cities......Exactly why I moved to Lumberton
