Recommended Posts

Currently underway w/numerous air boats,horsemen/cowboys evacuating 500 head cattle from rising trinity river floodwaters.This is the highest recorded flood,and tireless days of preparations (incl building a dirt levee around the last available cattle pasture on a high spot,levee failed,so evacuation forced moving the est 1million $ cattle to CNC rail yard on hiway 146.Looking@ videos cattle quite tired of swimming in current.Once they reach hiway 90(soon now)they will shut down highway 90 between Lib/Dayt,drive the cattle to FM 1409 near Brookshire Bros then down to Brown Road to highway 146 south.Expect numerous roads closed to traffic for next several hours.This is historic for friends/family/volunteers pulling together under extreme/dangerous conditions.The sm young baby calves had to be rescued first yesterday as they can't/don't know to swim.Some may say/ask why they waited=answer the last pasture had NEVER had water on it.Folks don't stop to think every river in Tx is flooding sending flood waters into the bays which dump into the Gulf.Now when high tides come in the flooding water upstream can't flow=backing water up.Upstream lakes are flooding but holding water as much as possible being above normal pool.Just in the Trinity River basin TX has 12 major lakes,all above normal pool.The 12 lakes combine for 197,000 surface acres of water not incl.subdivision/man made private lakes/ponds.Prayers to all volunteers during this time,incl law enforcement,others

    • How well I know. 34 yrs security with Newton. 
    • I think you’re missing my point- I also believe the prosecution is a mistake, but that’s not the point.    I’m confused that Conservative Christian Right-wing Republican straight white American male family first Trump voters are ignoring the fact that Trump did, in fact, do that awful thing…. But are instead focused on the fact that he’s being accused of covering it up.    There’s obviously no decency or morality in MAGA. But they still believe themselves to be exactly that… the side of decency and morality. It would be funny if the stakes weren’t so high. 
    • Naw people are mad the good ole boy system is getting broken. Didn’t think it would be this fast for the drama to be here. Honeymoon is over. 
    • Here’s the thing. I keep dropping facts on you, and you keep on knee-jerk saying “all lies!” I’ve asked you multiple times to point out whatever I’ve said that is factually wrong…but you can’t.  You might not like the facts, and they might make your eyes sweat a little… but it doesn’t change the fact that they are as true. Heck, deep down inside you might even know that Ol’ CB is right, but you believe Trump isn’t to blame. That, sir, does not turn the truth into a lie. What you should have said was is “that may be true, but I’m giving Trump a pass because…” Not “that’s a lie” when the numbers don’t lie.    But for you and everyone that  believes Trump was good for the economy, I’ll give another of my beloved and informative analogies that might help you finally understand.    A man handles his Family’s finances.  He makes a decision that life could be better, so he’s like “this is our year!” He stops all contributions to retirement accounts (cuts taxes) then proceeds to book a trip to Disney, buys nice things for the family and maxes out all possible lines of credit…. Now they’re facing bankruptcy.  The kids (y’all) are now arguing “things were so much better when  Dad (Trump, also your Daddy) was in charge! We had nice things!” The man set us on a course for ruin with deficit spending, then it accelerated with COVID, then he was such a pig that Biden got elected, and now we’re facing another “anybody but Trump” loss in the November, guaranteeing four more years of nonsense from which we’ll probably never recover. The debt is just insurmountable. We shouldn’t be surprised, either.  Trump has always been a “borrow as much as we can and pray (errrr, hope….not pray. I’m pretty sure he doesn’t do a lot of that) that it all works out” as evidenced by his businesses which have repeatedly bankrupted.
