I can't imagine it is worse than 2nd hand smoke or air quality next to all our refineries.

I sold my home in Lumberton to go remodel my childhood home in PA after my Father passed. I'm waiting on rates to sell it and get back to Lumberton or Silsbee, preferably Lumberton. When I first moved to Lumberton in 2000, I received 2 speeding tickets 10 days apart......Stupid ones, like 44 in a 35 on Westchance cutoff.......I was mad at first, but learned to appreciate a clean town and very little crime. Lumberton has it's problems, but I would choose it over anyplace in our area.

We just found common ground. I agree with you

It was no accident. He knows Trump does not want to go to war. I think Trump would go to war, but as a last resort. I think what may happen if Putin does not chill out, is he sanctions Russia into bankruptcy and throws 50-100% tariffs on anyone caught trading with Russia. That might temporarily screw up our economy, but I think Russia, after spending so much on the Ukraine war is not in a position to tolerate significant tariffs.

One of the justices on the Appellate Division, First Judicial Department wrote that the penalty, known as a disgorgement, against Mr. Trump, two of his sons and other executives and their company was "an excessive fine barred by the Eighth Amendment." [Hidden Content]

I'm trying to get back to Hardin county and their is not much "new" showing up. I look twice a day at Realtor.com. People are sitting on their homes waiting for the rates to drop to upgrade or move......

"The Government's 100,000 pages of Epstein files and materials dwarf the 70 odd pages of Epstein grand jury materials," he wrote. The DOJ handled this wrong IMO. The DOJ is handing over the files to congress. We will see what happens from here. To resolve this I think they should release all 100K files unredacted and say "I told you so" when innocent people are accused of being Pedo's. That won't happen and it shouldn't, but Democrats are using this as a political tool, as they could care less about the victims. If they really cared they had 4 years to release the files under Biden.

"Russia invaded Ukraine under Trump’s daddy’s order." I initially read that as Trump ordered the invasion. Then after reading it again, Maybe it was someone else - "trump's Daddy" - who ever that is. So if you are saying Putin started the war - I would agree. If you are saying Trump has some sort of responsibility, I would disagree,

I'll bite......I'm sure you have more proof than the distain in your head?

nahhhh,

So you find it funny Trump has not ended a war Biden started? All I need to know

The killing?

You find that funny. Do you find the over 100 drones killing 15 civilians in Ukraine funny? Pretty sad coming from a nurse

I have to say thank you for what you're doing. I worked in the ambulance business for several years in my younger days. As a matter of fact TVC and I were both rookies......it was THAT long ago lol. A good majority of our calls were the homeless. I hate that we can't solve this problem. In Port Arthur there was a camp across from one of our Wal-Marts in the woods. The city allowed it for years until recently the city came down and cleared it out and made property owner clean it up. They just moved to a different location.

This is one of those situations where there really is no GOOD answer for the homeless. How do you help someone that does not want to help themselves? A lot of them are alcoholics or drug users, and all they want is the next fix. Some of them are just plain lazy and won't do anything to make their life better. Some have mental issues and need treatment. We can jail them for breaking our laws, and at least then they get a shower and 3 meals. It's easy to say it needs to be fixed. You can get all warm and fuzzy by saying they should be left alone....problem is, if you're being honest, you don't want them pitching a tent in your front yard. Businesses does not want them on their property, or in front of their business. 99.9% of people don't like walking around or through tents pitched on a sidewalk. Lastly, There has been a homeless problem for how many years? It certainly didn't just happen under either of Trumps terms. It has been an ongoing issue and getting WORSE - so, maybe throwing tax dollars at it is not solving anything. We've been doing that and it's not getting better. So, IF Doge cut those programs, maybe we can save that money for a better solution to the homeless problem.......because what we have been doing is not working.

I bet the Democratic party wished he golfed more🤣

I have proof - WAY more proof that you have of trump being a pedophile..... You could have proof too, AP is even reporting it

If Trump has dementia, I hope to God I get the same exact dementia Trump has. Trump is multitasking, involved in several cease fires and war negotiations, working with congress getting bills passed.....and still manages to play golf........

Have you noticed he is somewhat ignoring them and just doing his thing. It really is amazing how many things he has going at the same time. His delegation skills (something no one has really talked about) are off the chain.

NATO is PURCHASING weapons from USA and selling them to Ukraine......

You're correct - PARENTS are most of it. My Son tried to be a comedian in I believe 2nd grade. We had a teacher parent meeting and I asked the teacher where do I sign to allow paddling. My Son looked at me with eyes wide open. They said they used a treadmill, not a paddle - I told them to call me when he gets on the treadmill and I'm come with the paddle for after...... I never got a call again.....he was an angel lol You have to be involved as a parent.....

BISD has never had a problem spending wasting money.......

I posted under KFDM thread on another forum, and my guess it was not popular...but, much smaller schools with less payroll and funding like Brookeland(87), Chester (88), East Chambers (84), Evadale(85), Hampshire Fannett (83), Hardin Jefferson (84)....Sabine Pass even got a 86......and Beaumont can't pull off a C........ and those are small schools, but Nederland, PNG and Vidor were in the 80's as well.... No one can convince me kids in Brookeland and Chester are smarter than kids from BISD. So, if it's not the kids, it's the teachers, administration or parents,,,,,,IMO

Like I said earlier, this is a comparison to this topic, but if you would like to detail the proof and why under the 4 years of Biden not one charge or even accusation from the DOJ of Trump with any underage girls, post it on the Epstein thread.
