  1. Ms. Griner, We hope this letter finds you in good health and we understand you are having some rough times in your life. We are a group of old Vietnam Combat veterans from North Carolina. Our average age is around seventy years old. We call ourselves The Bunker Boys. We spent a lot of time living in rat and snake infested holes in the ground known as Bunkers. When we were not in the bunkers, we were crawling through the jungle being shot at and shooting back at little people wearing black pajamas. We must be honest and tell you that the only thing we may have in common with you, is that we too, were drafted. We noticed you were drafted number one in the WNBA draft a few years ago. Since we all were drafted, we thought we might let you know what it was like when we were drafted. Unlike you, most of us had no college. The people of the United States drafted us. We consisted of all colors, religions and personal beliefs. We had no choice of which team we played for, Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard or Marines. We were sent halfway around the world to fight and kill people we didn't know in a place we had never heard of. We were paid, we know you can relate to this, $3.00 a day and required to work 24 hours a day if needed. When we returned home, many or most of us were treated very badly by our fellow Americans. We were spit on, hit by bottles and rocks as the police stood by and watched. We did not complain, we just continued on in life and made the best of it. We fought for God, family, country and of course, the Flag and the National Anthem; a poem that was written by, of all people, a lawyer. He wrote the poem as he watched bombs fall on and kill fellow Americans. Ever since that night, our nation has played that little poem before millions of social functions. For some people it's just a little song. For a Veteran, it is a reminder of how many men and women of all colors, have given their life so the rest can have the right to be free. We found in our research that you requested the National Anthem not be played at sporting events. We find it odd that now you are requesting the citizens of the United States to pay for your release from a jail in Russia. Yes, we the taxpayers are paying for all of those diplomats working on your release. Our government told you, and all fellow Americans in Russia, to leave Russia after the invasion of the Ukraine. You play basketball in a country that is known to treat Americans badly. You fly a great deal and must know by now, all the rules of what one can bring into a country. All of us that travel know the rules for entering a foreign country. You are a guest and must go by the rules of the land. By your own admission, you were attempting to bring an illegal substance into a country that is known for its long prison sentences. You had to know this because you are making millions dollars a year to play a game and hold a college degree. At six feet nine inches tall, you know that security officers are going to focus on you from the moment you stand in the boarding pass line. We also noticed that you are now saying you placed the drugs in your luggage by accident. Please, that is something an 18-year-old would say. We also found out that your net worth is somewhere around $5 million bucks for playing a game. For old guys like us, living on a fixed income, that's a lot of money for just playing a game. Don't get us wrong; we are not against you. We all went and fought so all Americans can have the freedom to make their own choices. We just hope the next time you have to endure the playing of that little poem; you will pay close attention to the "Land of the free" part. And maybe, just maybe, the Russians will give her snake hair a badly needed haircut.

  5. Well, now it seems like Trump took highly classified information about our nuclear weapons systems from the white house and refused to give them back. Kinda scary when the guy just tried to subvert our free and fair election process by orchestration an attack on the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power. why did Trump take the nuke codes with him?

  7. Yes it is sad. he got nominated because he wasnt part of the establishment and spoke his policies with conviction especially the America 1st platform and I would say America was better off whether or not you liked him as a person. He was able to accomplish alot and he was up against the left the right and majority of media. I would rather someone who is more Christian like but im just one person. Everyone has skeletons….. the left: kills babies, more divisive, against law and order, trans, gays and lesbians, hand outs, etc etc not everyone on the right are Godly ….. i know what the Bible says because I read it everyday…..I’m not perfect and I still fall short, but givin my studies and my dedication to letting Christ be the center of my life….the right are closer aligned and the left are no where close(the bold above are just a few). You can get defensive and say something derogatory about Christians but the truth is the truth…. Try reading it without taking things out of context and when I mean “read it” I mean front to back. Start with the New Testament 1st. One way or the other the truth will be revealed…..some later than others Majority of people fail to simply do something so fundamental and it’s free…..read the BIBLE….alone, without anyone else interpreting.

  10. Dude, you barely know anything about your own program. I have dudes sitting in my hallway at work I show your post to that think you're an idiot. I don't resent Abseck and I couldn't care less about the outcome of BH's season. I have several buddies with sons on the team and in the program so for their sake I want them to see their kids having a good time just like I do my sons. Backing into the playoffs in 4th place and winning one game isn't more than Westerberg did when he got BH to the third round at Reliant. Abseck went .500 with the most talented team BH has ever had. Now y'all will be back to normal this year and probably a KP loss away from 4th place. Your o-line is suspect, your defense is still bad, your star receiver is out, you don't have plus running backs and you'll be breaking in a new QB on top of that. I love that we have Coach P right now but I'm not the least bit worried that if he leaves Crosby's program will take a nose dive. It's been proven from the Flannigan led squad that lost to Dawson in the third round, to the Riordan led squad that lost to Cedar Park in the semis, to the Prieto led squad that lost in the state finals that if you give us a competent guy on the sideline that our kids will produce results. Just the opposite is true in BH though. Reagan talks about 7 years for a coach to win a state title. Well, the last 7 years BH has had three different state title winning coaches and only has one district championship, in a year everybody else was down, to show for it. It's been proven over the last 17 years that the only thing that can stop Crosby from getting into the dance is an inept school board and supt. My son turned 3 over the weekend and had his birthday party in south Dallas. My wife graduated from Dallas Skyline and all of her friends and relatives children attend school on that I-20 corridor from Oak Cliff to Duncanville. Her nephew is going to be the starting safety for Duncanville this year. When I tried to explain where Crosby was he cut me off and said, "Oh, we know about Crosby". This is after I ran into Carlos Lynn at Winners BBQ and tried to order two slabs of ribs from him while he was out to lunch with the Cedar Hill coaching staff. When I mentioned I was from Crosby he said, "Oh, y'all got something down there." So whether Prieto leaves or not, which I don't see with his son being in 8th grade, Crosby will be fine. BH on the other hand will still be trying to hire state title winning coaches just so they can beat us.

  12. The AG may have pulled the trigger on the raid, but he got the go ahead from JoeBama. Joebama told aids that he wanted Trump prosecuted. From the NY Slimes: "Garland Faces Growing Pressure As Jan. 6 investigation widens. "Mr. Biden confided to his inner circle that he believed former President Donald J Trump was a threat to democracy and should be prosecuted... he has said privately that he wanted Mr. Garland to act less like a ponderous judge and more like a prosecutor who is willing to take decisive action over the events of Jan. 6."" Like I've said -- this was a fishing expedition and another one of the Demoncrats famous hoaxes. The other hoax didn't work, and this one will not work either. But -- this one all but guarantees his re-election in 2024. After seeing this pathetic show from the commie-libs, it's pulling those on the fence over for Trump!!

  16. When I read the question and saw “1 term” I didn’t immediately think of Trump when I replied. How bout calling him Trump instead of 1 term, because there s been many 1 term presidents. I don’t know if Trump is a Christian or not but what I do know is that the right s platform and many policies are closer to Christianity then anything the left has to offer and that is the case no matter if it’s Trump desantis or any other conservative. I’m a conservative, not a busher, trumper, or any other ‘ER’

  19. When a search warrant is issued and calls for a raid, they are saying that there's a chance that party being raided will destroy documents. But, again, this is a last resort. The mere fact that the warrant was issued Friday and not executed until Monday shows that this was a scam to begin with. If they were actually concerned they would have raided after the warrant was issued.

  22. The laughter was an act. So was his reaction. Scripted with the intention of stirring up emotions from his supporters. The eruption of cheers will eventually turn to tears. He campaigns with open Texas border and shut down oil industry. The gun issue will help, but not enough to overcome the others.

  23. 1 term has nothing to do with what I said im now starting to believe in the rest of the posters diagnosis of your TDS with your idiotic “quick question” your stuck on Trump. For me Trump is just another guy running for president after his time is passed someone else will step up and another and another and another. Your missing the bigger picture and the future of America will pay for it.

They have a chance to be a pretty good team but must stay healthy. With that being said there should be several sophomores get promoted to varsity which could help give key players a break

  26. Here’s a message from your Daddy. Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump Nuclear weapons issue is a Hoax, just like Russia, Russia, Russia was a Hoax, two Impeachments were a Hoax, the Mueller investigation was a Hoax, and much more. Same sleazy people involved. Why wouldn't the FBI allow the inspection of areas at Mar-a-Lago with our lawyer's, or others, present. Made them wait outside in the heat, wouldn't let them get even close - said "ABSOLUTELY NOT." Planting information anyone? Reminds me of a Christofer Steele Dossier! Not only will I not oppose the release of documents related to the unAmerican, unwarranted, and unnecessary raid and break-in of my home in Palm Beach, Florida, Mar-a-Lago, I am going a step further by ENCOURAGING the immediate release of those documents, even though they have been drawn up by radical left Democrats and possible future political opponents, who have a strong and powerful vested interest in attacking me, much as they have done for the last 6 years. ..My poll numbers are the strongest they have ever been, fundraising by the Republican Party is breaking all records, and midterm elections are fast approaching. This unprecedented political weaponization of law enforcement is inappropriate and highly unethical. The world is watching as our Country is being brought to a new low, not only on our border, crime, economy, energy, national security, and so much more, but also with respect to our sacred elections! Release the documents now! 😘

  35. Lesser of 2 evils? I simply don't recall the DOJ under Trump going after mom's and dad's at school board meetings questioning curriculum and boys in girls bathrooms. Labeling concerned parents as domestic terrorist! If I'm wrong please enlighten me. I sadly get to see the textbooks the left puts out. Pick up a sociology text and explain to me how a so called moderate Democrat could even think about being part of that party. If lesser of 2 evils and his crew could, they would shut down every Christian based school in this country. They including 46 do all they can to withhold funding. There's your evil. I'll leave you with 1 more. When that party celebrates abortion you are evil. If you support it, I disagree. When you celebrate it, you lose all grounds for any discussion of evil. If you doubt they celebrate it , left wing articles have celebrate in the title of stories about the World Trade Center being lit to celebrate Cuomo's signing of an abortion law. CELEBRATE!! Sheer madness.

  36. So the defense of Biden is that Gabbard is a Republican? Interesting! Perhaps some haven’t noticed (the brainwashed masses) that the Dem Party has been taken over by the Far Left Loons. There are still some Democrats who realize how corrupt these folks are. So now a Dem is considered a Republican if they believe in the rule of Law? That says volumes about the Democratic Party. Stop and think about that.

  44. I think it’s great. I do think the immigration system and path to citizenship need to be revamped, but the fact that the government has refused to help Texas and expects us to handle it on our own is ridiculous, as is their response when Abbott passes on the problem, so to speak. How anyone can accuse Texas of being inhumane for trying to keep illegal immigrants from overwhelming our system, but then turn around and cry when a tiny fraction of those immigrants are sent to suck off their system is mind blowing to me.

  45. Don’t confuse a majority Black campus by population with a historically Black school. For a history lesson, it goes back to a Supreme Court ruling 130 years ago in Plessy v. Ferguson. In that ruling the Supreme Court said that concept of “separate but equal” was not in itself discrimination and so state mandated segregation of the races was not unconstitutional under the 14th Amendment. (passed in 1868, right after the Civil War) So some states allowed or mandated separate schools for Blacks. Those separate schools were because Blacks weren’t allowed in other schools. That was the legality of the then historical Black schools. My mother graduated from Beaumont High School which was a (one of the) White campus in BISD and it later merged with Charlton-Pollard also of BISD, the historical Black school for that district. That created BCP. BCP then later combined with the other BISD high school, French, to form Central. (French was for a short time in FISD) So what was eventually Central high school was the combination of the two White high schools of BISD and the Black high school. So French ISD was taken into Beaumont ISD which was later taken into South Park ISD to form today’s BISD which started as 3 different districts. I believe that is the meaning of a historical Black school. It was a school created by forced segregation. That was overturned 62 years later by the Supreme Court case of Brown v. Board of Education, although I think it took the Civil Rights of 1964 to start enforcing it.
