Really? How can he resign with no one to take over? Kamala? Six months ago she was tasked with the Border Crisis. She still hasn’t been there. She’s so incompetent that Dem voters wouldn’t support her. Which brings up a good question for you, is there any Democrat competent enough to be President? Btw, what you should’ve remembered, June 6th was the 77th anniversary of D-Day.

I would be curious to know how many of our youngsters know what happened on this date. The greatest generation earned their title and paid dearly for the right to be free. I doubt we have too many (if any) who served during that time on our message board, but I bet we all know or have someone in our family who served. Thank-you for the sacrifices that were made that day and all of our WWII vets. God bless America!!!!

Amen. They have America flags and Thin Blue Line flags and prayers at Lumberton football games. They said a prayer at graduation. 3 kids had military sashes and were asked to stand during and be recognized at graduation. I am aware that leaves them open to lawsuits. I’m just glad they do it anyway (for now at least).

Watched it on tv and the replay…….she caught it, but the umpires missed that call. Did not have any affect on the outcome though

The only plausible explanation is that he couldn't remember that he was supposed to! SMH!

Do they know about Pointe du Hoc? Do they know why one of the American landing beaches was called bloody Omaha? Do they know it well over 4,000 American, British and Canadian troops were killed in one day with many thousands of more wounded? Do they know......

If they make rules, and the two kids in question signed contract saying that they would not do what they did, and they do not punish them, then what? To school rules become voluntary? How many comments do we see on here where people say, we need to hold people, students, whoever accountable? If this was anything other than the military, some of the same people protesting would be up in arms with the opposite opinion. Being in the military does not give you a pass or earn special privileges. Actually it should be quite the opposite.

Why does the US give so much money to foreign countries, no matter the situation?

As I morph from old man to curmudgeon, let me share some poo. Out last night and ran into an old friend. He made a remark, “I hate to get out because people are crazy”. Why bring it up? My wife & I have been complaining about that, so at least others see it. Drive like nuts. Zero manners. And cell phones - good grief. I contemplate the possible suicide rate if all the cell phones were taken away. Now, since my 300 or so TV stations are so bad, we were watching Dr. Pimple Popper. Lady had a large marble size cyst in her hair. She was concerned about having a bald spot up there when the cyst was removed. Ordinarily, I could understand her concern, but this lady had a lip ring and a nose ring. Heck, she could be bald and I wouldn’t notice it with Bubba’s Scrap Iron hanging out of every orifice. What is it that makes a person want to disfigure themselves? Guess I’m just getting old(er).

I thought that Biden was supposed to resign on yesterday, June 6th. I vaguely remember someone posting that date on this site.

That #$&** probably wants Art Briles in Warren like everywhere else. Just ask @WOSgrad

I've noticed that a decent number of Latinos vote Republican, especially the ones that came here to build a better life and are working hard and paying taxes.

Interesting video, just less than 10 minutes long. Evidently they got these six folks together & let them rate the groups IQ from top to bottom. The young military man w/o a college degree, was judged last by several liberals. And the one girl, who was extremely impressed with herself & her degree, well, I hope you watch it.

He s president just in name......someone else is making the decisions.....and that’s been since the beginning. he s nothing but a puppet.

It's folks like you that can't distinguish between "worship" and "prefer over the old fool". To my point, you're the one with the forum name worshipping Trump.

The word on the street is that the Hamshire Fannett coach is taking the Lumberton job. Any truth to this or is it just rumors?

One plus about this, not sure about the other immigrants, but the ones from Venezuela will probably vote Republican. Doubt they’ll be backing the Socialist/Communist agenda of the Dems.

Hey DF…. That way you can play both sides of the fence. If you take a stand, then you can possibly be shot down. No stance is for cowards. You would be the epitome of the term.

They don't...next dumb question.

Well that's the cool thing, they all played each other this year. BH beat Liberty 5-0 (S Landry threw a no hitter) and split with DP. Simpson threw a 1-0 no hitter against the Deer. I'd say that is a pretty good case for BH being #1 overall. With that said, all are great teams and it is amazing they are all that close of each other. An interesting note was the enrollment numbers that were the in UIL programs, I think Liberty was 550 or so, BH was 1780ish and DP was 3999! That is a staggering number of students at one school.

If you are a subscriber you should have your magazine in the mail around June 20...if you are someone who wants to buy it in the store my guess is around July 4

You know the Dems thoughts on the military. Look how they were treated in Washington during the inauguration!

Now the OC/QB coach. He's also been at Lamar, Colorado State, Florida and SFA since at Warren. Great guy and coach, I just believe Warren is a tough place to win in football. Not saying it isn't a great place because I've never been there just seems tough to win.

I wonder how many adults, even that kind of know the significance of the day (they know it’s called D-Day), actually know what happened.

I certainly respect your opinion but we’ll have to agree to disagree on this one. For a 3A school Warrens football crowds are marginal at best. With our demographics , lack of industry and no public housing we’re going to have a hard time attracting the numbers of athletes it takes to be successful in football at the 3A level. Just by numbers alone it doesn’t take as many athletes to compete in basketball and baseball. I wish Warren nothing but the best in their search for a new AD/HC in football by I honestly don’t think the lack of coaching abilities has been the reason for our dismal showing on the field.

I'm no youngster, but I didn't know either. My great uncle survived it. The stories he could tell. He was in the front, and saw the 2 guys next to him die as soon as the gate dropped. Shame I was too young to understand, but that always stuck with me.

LSU trying to stay alive

Lots of baseball to be played tomorrow

Stop acting like this is going to kill your season!

I’ll have to disagree with you on this one…I know you’re a big basketball guy…but despite historically not being a good football program it’s still what brings the WISD communities together….even though baseball and basketball have been much more successful over the years…just my opinion though…

Should Nederland change the rules? Sure, that’s OK. Maybe they could just recognize them by having them stand or mention it as they’re walking up to get their diploma. However.... In several threads about this topic in different forums, including Facebook, there were mentions of lawsuits. I don’t think there are any grounds to force a school district to have a mandatory policy to allow future members of the military for example, to wear a different recognitions. There might be a double edged sword in the change of policy or a lawsuit to try to sue however. As long as no one complains everything will be OK. The allowing of certain recognitions outside of school functions could bring problems though. Due to my interest and my job I have read many lawsuits over the years from both state and federal courts. I am talking about cases that went on to appeal all the way up to the US Supreme Court, the federal circuit courts or of the state appeals courts. The problem arises from discrimination such as under the 1st Amendment and the 14th Amendment under “equal protection”. Here could be the potential problem. If the members of the military are a certified school function such as a junior ROTC then I do not think it will be an issue. If it is something they did outside of the school, it could cause issues if someone wishes to sue. This case a question brings up exactly that point because apparently one kid got the same punishment for wearing a Mexican flag the same way the military guys wore the sashes. At that point you get into freedom of expression issues and when you do, you cannot limit or in most cases cannot limit one person’s right over the other. There can be limits for threats or some vulgar language, etc. from what I have seen. If a person says I wish to show my future in the military that has nothing to do with the school, can you then deny a person to say, I wish to show which country I came from or which political party I support? An easy example would be if a school district said you could wear a vote Democrat button to graduation but could not wear a vote Republican button (equal protection). That would be an obvious discrimination. There are in federal laws in place to ban discrimination due to sex, race, national origin, ethnicity, religion of age. If the same rules apply across-the-board, it is usually not discrimination. It is like the current issue with the masks and a private business. A private business has the right to set whatever rule they want to as long as the rule does not discriminate. It is OK to say everyone must wear a mask however they cannot say Muslims must wear a mask or people with weaves in their hair must wear one. I was reading a case from California that went to a federal Court on appeal. A woman firefighter complained that a male firefighter in her unit was reading some kind of sexually oriented magazine like Playboy. He was not showing the pictures or that anyone could see and was merely reading it in his bunk. There was no claim of him making noises or any kind of lewd comments that would create a hostile work environment. It just offended the woman firefighter that she knew what he was reading. The fire department had a policy that when the firefighter’s duties for the day has been done, he/she could read non-work related material. I know that my Police Department generally bans reading for entertainment purposes and restricts reading to duty reading related. Firefighters have a somewhat different job where they might be on duty for 24 or 48 hours and have in many cases less restrictions. So the fire department (I think LA or San Diego) told the male firefighter do not read the girly magazines. Poof!! Here comes the lawsuit. The male firefighter won his case. He was being discriminated against due to his sex and the government/fire department was improperly restricting what could be read. If I remember the decision correctly, the department could restrict reading to duty related or they can allow non-duty related but if they did, it had to be open. The fire department did not by policy get to approve what was read if it was not duty related. Can you imagine if the fire department said you can read Christian literature but you cannot read about Judaism? That in a fact is what they did against the male firefighter. So my question is, if a school district allows the representation of something outside of a school function, can then limit what is allowed? Now if no one complains, they could do anything that they wish. There was a US Supreme Court ruling that says you will not have a prayer over the public address system such as as at a high school football game. We all know there is some school districts that continue to do this against that ruling. Why is that allowed? Because nobody has filed a claim. Once someone does, it will be an easy lawsuit to win, possibly with monetary damages. I see there are claims that Lumberton and others allow such representation for a non-school function or opinion (the military sash example). If someone wishes to file a lawsuit, and I can guarantee somewhere someone will, what will be the outcome?

Everybody needs turf. Anyone that wants to argue that is clueless. I’m quite certain a lot of that turf is very affordable these days. There’s a different mind set in setx when it comes to modernizing stuff tho. Every school up here in DFW area has turf; majority of them have indoor facilities.

It may be time for Warren to look at the Athletic programs at Central, Central Heights and Lufkin Hudson. An AD/ Head Basketball or Baseball coach may make for a more successful athletic program overall.

That’s expected.....it was that way when he was at WB

But there are those that can only wish, even those that claim they voted for him.

Perfect cover. Scott Surratt.

Probably already got them.

We'll be back on Monday with Newton and Deweyville!

They are honored at the scholarship ceremony. Honor all kids who receive scholarships and the military is last. Recruiters are there and everyone is happy.

I see a lot of people talking about Warren needs a coach that cares about the kids and such. That’s true. But one thing you need for a winning program is Athletes and talent. Not trying to burst bygones bubble Warren just hasn’t had that combination in football for a long time.

I have a co-worker who’s son attends LCM and is going into the 10th grade next fall. He plays baseball and played football in jr high but not his freshman year. He said Peevey had a meeting with all parents of anyone in athletics and told them he had an open door policy but if the topic of why thier kid wasn’t playing enough or playing a different position then the conversation would be over. He Said the coach stated very throughly he would not tolerate that at all. We shall see. I hope the best for them, but it’s gonna take a culture change from the parents to make it happen.
