Queen Elizabeth II dead at 96

Not a big fan of the British Royal Family, but she’s the exception.  Plunged into the position of Queen at 25 when her father died.  She was 27 when coronated.  As a youth, during WW-II, she walked the walk, assisting the war effort anyway she could.  Essentially rolling up her sleeves and working side by side with her future subjects.  Class?  She was the epitome of the word.  Be difficult, if not impossible, to name any comparable world leader.  We’ll be a long time seeing her like again.

RIP Queen Elizabeth ✝️✝️✝️

Did you see it?  The day Queen Elizabeth died a beautiful rainbow appeared over Buckingham Palace.  Coincidence?  Hmmmm, maybe.  A sign from heaven?  Hmmmm, also maybe.  I’d prefer the latter.  A sign from God - “Come home my good and faithful servant”.  I’m a believer in our God, and a bit of a dreamer.  I’d like to think he still gives us signs, if only we look - and then actually see the signs for what they are.  So, a rainbow, a sign, or both?  When events like this happen, don’t just look - look again.  Is there more there than our eyes can see?  Maybe.  Just maybe.

This is the hidden content, please

That would leave us with Kamala, far worse for America.  She is absolutely clueless, more so than joe.

And for now (fingers crossed it won’t happen), Pelosi is next in line after Harris.

Sure, we all know the Constitution and if Harris became the president, she could then choose her vice president which would have to be approved by the Senate and the House similar to a Supreme Court nominee except both houses would vote and not just the Senate. Pelosi would then go back to #3 in line.

Hopefully that dynamic changes in 7 weeks.

Here is a “what if” that might scare Democrats. 

If the Republicans pick up only 1 seat in the Senate, they will have control if they all vote together.

No nominee can be approved without at least some Republican support.

If they can flip 4 seats in the House, the Speaker of the House, with complete control of ALL legislation, would be a Republican.

 The biggest “what if”…..

If both scenarios happen (or even one actually) and Biden leaves office for whatever reason, the Republican Speaker of the House would be #2 in line for the presidency until both houses of Congress agrees on the Vice President nominee.

So the Republicans would have to approve of any Harris nominee (or if she left office first, any Biden nominee) as vice president or a Republican would be next in line.

It kind of gives a different view of the current Democrat, who needs you or bipartisanship stance.

 I would bet they now will all of a sudden want to reach across the aisle.

    • I know absolutely nothing about the situation, but I do know head coaches of sports other than football have actual teaching assignments, and I know from my wife having worked in the sped department of multiple schools that it’s not uncommon at all for coaches to shirk those duties.  It could very well be that this was the case at BC.  Or not, I don’t know.  Just bringing this up to point out the fact that, although many coaches only want to worry about coaching, they generally have several other responsibilities at the school.  some of them neglect or ignore these duties entirely.  If he’s been written up for other issues before, it’s a dumb argument to say “he was punished for this and others were not”.  They likely got the same punishment he’d gotten for previous transgressions.  
    • He wasn’t fired, he was reassigned and people get reassigned all the time. If he was actually fired, then you would have a point, but he wasn’t fired. Based on the information presented here no way this would stand if they fired him and he lawyered up. 
    • I heard the assistant was going to get this job and assume it was referring to the old Vidor coach, Nate Smith.  I always thought he did more with less at Vidor and can't help but think he shares some responsibility in Vidor's recent success. 
    • Classic Bridge City.  Always someone else's fault, refs/umpires cheated, AD with an agenda, yada, yada, yada.  As far as I can tell it's damn near impossible to get fired at these schools so when someone does get fired, it's usually something.  Drama at Bridge City is a constant.  The guy did a good job coaching basketball and I'm sure he'll continue that somewhere else.  Time to move on.
