The popular vote has never mattered but it is continually brought up. If the Presidential election was determined by the popular vote, campaigning would take place in 4-5 large states and the smaller states would get no voice......

Where’s The Lie Though? [Trigger Warning]

My Son asked to go to Evadale during his 7th grade year at Lumberton. The only reason he gave me was he heard it was cool. I personally think it was the 7th grade football program at Lumberton. It was so crowded, when he finally got a ball given to him, he ran a 60yard TD and didn't play another down....lol But any way, he started his 8th grade year, and made varsity his 9th grade year and caught 2 interceptions in district games that year. His 10th grade year he was sent back JV by Williams for attitude and being cocky.....Williams made you earn it no matter how good you were.....after two JV games of good behavior, he was starting on varsity. He was certainly accepted by the natives.....he was part of the family. My point to the story was Coach Williams was a tough coach, but an extremely fair coach. Evadale is losing a great coach and mentor to those kids. Good luck coach, I was lucky to have you coach my Son!

They knew it was coming..... It's not Trump and will never be It is a partisan group investigating looking for a crime.....that is not the way our justice system is supposeed to work and GOOD FOR HIM...... “Mr. Weisselberg intends to plead not guilty and he will fight these charges in court,” his lawyers, Ms. Mulligan and Bryan C. Skarlatos, said in a statement.

thetragichippy replied to InMAGAWeTrust's topic in Political Forum
I don't know any Trump supporters that supported the law breaking or the destruction of property. Once they broke the law, they went too far. We have never heard the term insurrection until the Capitol incident. Now, if folks want to run around and repeat Democratic political talking points that's fine, but AT LEAST be honest with yourself and call ALL riots an insurrection. If breaking into the Capitol was an insurrection, than surely chasing cops out of their station, vandalizing and setting it on fire is an insurrection.... or taking over a couple city blocks by force and not allowing cops in, and making up your own laws is an insurrection right? Here is the definition "an act or instance of revolting against civil authority or an established government." my 2 cents.... -
When is everyone going to realize that racism talks just go round and round forever until someone just stops talking...... Racism seems to be worse on Social media than in real life. About 6 years ago I worked in Lumberton and of my 6 employee's, 2 where black females. They never complained of any racial issues while working there. I was asked to transfer to the Vidor location and help with improving their performance. I agreed and one of the black females asked if she could transfer to one of the open positions. I was her first boss and she wanted to stay with me. I was humbled but was like, you know about Vidor's reputation right? She did, but knew I would not let anything happen to her, but admitted her Mom would not come visit her in Vidor. About 2-3 months go by and she never said a word about how the customers treated her. So, I asked and she had this to say. She said that she was treated differently in Vidor than Lumberton. She said both places were nice to her, but they actually TALK to her in Vidor, treat her like a PERSON. I was more than shocked by that response, based on Vidor's reputation. I can only comment on my life experiences and those around me. In my eyes Vidor is not what its reputation had it, and in general, for the most part, people of all races are nice to each other......Social media gives everyone a platform to create an agenda.....

What a good representation......Olympics
thetragichippy replied to 5GallonBucket's topic in Political Forum
Many people are saying she don't. She could clear it up if she wanted, so it appears to me she does not want it cleared up. I agree she has a right to peaceful protest, just not when representing me -

I went back and read all of her tweets. She commented the same, "I never said I hate America".......but she never said she loved America or was proud of America. It would be my opinion she hates the country that gave her the opportunity to be great. Think of how many people would love to have her opportunities...... Perception is everything......She is representing the USA, which means everyone. She is not doing a great job of representation because not everyone agrees with her protest. I certainly don't. -

Do you honestly think we would have a different opinion if it was a white male that did the same thing? -

First amendment does not protect you from work, only Government from punishing you. You would get fired if you were hired as a Wal Mart door greeter and told everyone Wal Mart sucks as they came in..... -
Body Part Found at Fatal Crash Scene 5 Days After Crash
thetragichippy replied to bullets13's topic in Local Headlines
Yea.....That is crazy, ....that tells me it was one hell of a crash and probably no seat belt -
Yea, playing to the media and heart strings..... Seems to me, if she wants to spend all of her money on dresses, make-up, airplanes or Lego's, she should be able to make that choice. If she goes broke on bad decisions, she would not be the first or last. If she lives alone or not under anyone's control, she does not seem to be a threat to her or anyone.......She lives in America and is not really "free"......kinda sad IMO

Body Part Found at Fatal Crash Scene 5 Days After Crash
thetragichippy replied to bullets13's topic in Local Headlines
When I worked for EMS, it was the ambulance or funeral home to take bodies away from scene. I worked some horrific crashed, even a decapitation.....I find it very unusual to find a bone. All the situations I had been in, the bodies were typically all together, or in the decapitation, in the vehicle. -
Homeless problem in SETX - What are the causes?
thetragichippy replied to SmashMouth's topic in Local Headlines
TVC, Do you remember Woodrow Wilson from the early 90's? He was a regular pick up for the ambulance service. We would not even have to give St Mary's his vitals, just say on the way with Woodrow. I remember almost wearing out a set of brake pads going to an auto-pedestrian call on blue Bonnet, only to find Woodrow laying on the side of the road drunk, with a broken bottle of wine on the street that someone thought was blood. I was just curious what happened to him. -

If you or I are in a company uniform and protest "XXXXX(fill in the blank), it is very likely we will be terminated because we do not represent the company views, and that makes PERFECT sense. If you can protest white supremacy at work, why can't I protest that all violent criminals get the death penalty by public hanging at work? When you represent someone other than yourself, you should represent them like they want.......and even Obama, Hillary or Clinton did not disrespect the flag or the anthem in public......
