Not exactly... for most of them it's loyalty to Trump, not even the Party or America.

Yes, I remember well (sometimes). Gateway killed downtown Beaumont. Sears & Roebuck used to turn their basement into their Christmas shopping spot. The store was on Broadway and Magnolia. Building is still there. Heard about something called a mall in Houston. Think it was Gulfgate. Couldn’t believe you could put all those stores together under one roof. Later came Parkdale Mall (a proposed site for the Astrodome) and it practically killed Gateway. Lot of places are gone now. 11th street and College used to be a circle. Circle drive-in was where Conn’s offices are on College. I could go on, but that’s enough for now.

Believe it or not, a trip to Beaumont was a big deal in my youth. When I was about 5 or 6 (early 1950’s) we’d make a trip into downtown Beaumont. During Christmas It was much like the start of a Christmas Story. Looking at the windows of Kress’s, Woolworth, and Morgan & Lindsey’s. Going in & seeing all the toys and decorations. Every time I see that movie I think of those days. As I got older my sister (6 years older than me) would get to see a movie at the Jefferson and Liberty Theaters. In those days safety wasn’t a problem. In that respect, it was “the good old days”. I suspect some of you have the same fond memories.

Not exactly. Every election there's a chance

It has been questioned a ton,he will have 25 years to produce(retirement),the tradition is over due to politics!

They "addressed" it with SB2 a couple of years ago. It limited the growth of new tax revenue by cities/counties to 3.5% per year (with exceptions), but did nothing about the biggest offender-ISDs. FWIW, the local governments have just rocked on and ignored the 3.5% rule in a lot of places because nobody was complaining- those governments seem to like the old rule where a mere 8% increase in total revenue every year without requiring voter approval is okay. SB2 allows a jump to 8% if there's a disaster. So basically they claim that Hurricane Laura and the Pandemic were both "disasters" and therefore allowed them to raise taxes beyond 3.5%. In a nutshell, local taxes are based on a tax rate adopted by the taxing units multiplied by the appraised values set by the Appraisal District. When tax rates are being considered for the coming year, the entities calculate what rate it would take to raise the same amount of money as last year using the new, higher values. Imagine that your total value of all of the property in your county was worth a billion dollars last year.... and the county needed 2 million dollars to operate. Last year's tax rate would have been .002 This year, the certified value of all of the properties in the area were raised to 1.2 billion (a 20% increase in value). The local government would only need a tax rate of .001666 to raise the same 2 million dollars that they raised last year. The legislature allows them to increase revenue by no more than 3.5% without an election.... that 3.5% increase would yield a rate of .001725 to raise $2,070,000,000. Basically speaking, if values go up, rates will have to go down.... but the most people don't understand the math. I've watched local politicians with the above scenario adopt a rate of .00199 (a much higher increase in tax revenue than allowed by law), then proudly crow "we cut your taxes" because the RATE is lower than last years.... and people clapped like seals. Meanwhile their raising much more than just 3.5% as allowed. It happens everywhere.

Vidor has already played Silsbee. Vidor has Lumberton and Jasper left to play in 1st half.

It's the same at EC! Tough place to play.

It was looked at. Rogers Brothers owned the property and decided to build a mall. What I was told anyway. Dowlen road and all the stores were not there. There was plenty of room. I’m sure there were plenty of sites to be viewed.

Big girl, Trump never had nuclear codes. Trump had what was previously classified documents. Why? Because he can!! And -- because only "Presidents" can declassify documents. So, there's the rub, isn't?! JoeBama NEVER had the authority to declassify any documents. As it stands now, there are 3 places related to JoeBama that holds "classified" documents. Again, what's interesting is that China gave millions and millions of dollars to the Penn-Biden Center. And the classified documents, and possibly more, at this center just so happen to be concerning China and Ukraine. Is it possible that any of these "classified" documents made its way to China from the "Big Guy?" Thoughts?!

and use it to build a border wall. Suits me fine. The U. N. needs to headquarter elsewhere anyway. Freedom Caucus bill takes billions from UN to finish the US border wall [Hidden Content] Explore the Fox News apps that are right for you at [Hidden Content].

[Hidden Content] democrats unhappy that they won't get that second chance to kill babies outside of the womb after the first attempt fails. And we got folks that seem to think there's no difference in the parties, smh.

All joking aside, that's when I finally changed my stance on the abortion issue from "who cares?" to being pro-life... when the Dem Party Platform in 2012 declared support for a woman's right to abort, "regardless of her ability to pay." I'm strongly opposed to abortion personally, but that's just my belief. I felt like people should have the right to choose.. unless their "right" to choose means that I have to pay to support that immoral (in my opinion) act... in that case I guess it shouldn't be legal. But, there's enough stupidity to go around. Righties are talking about prosecuting people for taking abortion pills and outlawing contraception in any form. It's just too much. [Hidden Content] "The platform supports a woman’s right to seek a “safe and legal” abortion, regardless of her ability to pay."

You said it was not the whole platform that approved abortion and I made a post that showed it was, it is in print in the Party Platform. The pro-life crowd looks at this as a living child that has value rather than simply a choice. Republicant's...nice, when you got nothing else I guess, lol,

Yep, the whole platform. file:///C:/Users/kbingham/Downloads/2020-Democratic-Party-Platform.pdf Like the majority of Americans, Democrats believe every woman should be able to access high-quality reproductive health care services, including safe and legal abortion. We oppose and will fight to overturn federal and state laws that create barriers to women’s reproductive health and rights, including by repealing the Hyde Amendment and protecting and codifying the right to reproductive freedom.

The true "blind loyalty". The left doesn't like Candace, but everything she says is true...and that's probably why they don't like her.

I use the s and I had Emmy Lou Scott for English. If we can’t do it it can’t be done, senior class of 61.

UIL is looking at using 2 footballs at the same time to exploit these skills and make the game very interesting. The two balls (footballs) would have to be hiked at the same time by an ambidextrous center. If they do not use two balls then I see no advantage in being ambidextrous. That’s my story and I am sticking to it.

That guy is dumb as a hammer, fits right in. Biden has already stated that he knew the documents were there. By the way, this theory is also approved by Joy Behar, official spokesperson for the democratic party.

Whoever is the admin for that particular school, someone on the coaching staff, has the ability to upload the correct schedule and/or make modifications on the go.

Heard Congressman Hank Johnson, Democrat from Georgia, say that the classified documents could have been planted. This is the same man that showed concern about the US putting to many troops on the island of Guam. His concern was that the island could possibly become overpopulated and tip over. Democrats, smdh!!

yes sir.

You of all folks calling someone a liar and crawfishing! Proved 3 times yesterday you were a liar... what's trending on Twitter, we have to know

Don't waste your time.... it's a lost cause with this bunch Blind loyalty to a party is all they know

Did you just really say this?🙄🙄

He does it regularly. Lol Your attempt to link all D’s to baby killers is absurd he says, yet every single democrat just voted to be baby killers. Smh

Don’t agree with any lot of stuff they do but this one is a dealbreaker. Try to stick to the debate rather than lame comments like the loyalty to the party crap. You have no argument when you have to derail the debate.

Seems like it's saying treat them both the same, same accountability... You wouldn't understand though

If you vote for them, you’re linked.

Have I said anything about that dude? Abitual liar

I second every word of this post, the emboldened lines in particular. The game planning this season couldn't be beat, and the support PN-G enjoyed from the rest of Southeast Texas was deeply, deeply appreciated by the PN-G community.

You guys are just jealous.

Either way, no one wants to see him nekkid. Maybe his lovely bride but that’s her cross to bear.

None. Moses wasn't on the Ark it was Noah

Interesting to see which team gets left out the playoffs. But this was a big win for CE King

As a PN-G fan one observation I have made this season is that Coach Joseph and his staff he assembled handled the big game well. I am not just speaking of the SC game against SOC (a great and deserving team), but games such as against FBM both times. His staff prepared the team well and adjusted his game plan to each team. This may seem like an obvious comment to something that should be normal but it isn't. Another thing that is obvious, but did happen was PN-G continuously approved each week. Coach Joseph and coach McDaniel played together at Katy and won a SC while playing. Both also coached in SC games. The other coach McCrary played WR at University of Texas. He was brought to PNG from SLC. As a player McCrary played in back to back SC,s and as a coach in 2020 his team made the SC before coming to PNG. That's 3 SC appearances for the OC plus years as a WR for UT. I can see now that as coaches at PNG they all have experience as playing in SC games. This was evident that any game we played in this year wasn't an unobtainable win or to be competitive. Coach McDaniel was the DC for Katy for several years and coached them in the SC games. That's my take from our coaching staff. Yes Coach Faircloth left them in great shape with a talented offense. The new coaches moved people around and wasn't afraid to play any player at any position at any time. Great staff assembled PNG and TY for doing a great job while replacing the winningest coach in our history. I couldn't even guess what the future holds at PNG, but I believe as long as we have this staff being competitive is something we should see every week under their leadership. We have quite a bit back next season. The line will be huge. RB is back adding Blair too the backfield next season which will add a bit more speed to the backfield for next season. WR will have to be replaced. QB will either be Shea or the Soph next year. Défense has a bit back next season as well. By the way there is a person on here who said PNG, Nederland, PAM, Lumberton, Vidor and so on would never make it to state again. Haven't seen so much as a good season or I was wrong at all from said person. Dont really care. PNG had a great season. Hope we have another one someday. If anything this should give hope to similar landlocked, non-magnet type schools still can and will make it to the big game. Look at Silsbee they have been on the cusp for a few years. It is possible. The last thing I would say is TY to all of you who supported us in this journey. Your support was noticed and appreciated by Indians fans everywhere.

Imagine responding to a post seriously... not knowing that you're being made fun of.

Looks like Hardin played KV to a couple possession game. Don't discount them as a potential win either.

Probably some pretty sage wagering advice…

I'm quite sure both you guys are MUCH older than me Lol, but when I went to Groves Middle School in the late 70's (lived on Verde not far from the school), we all pretty much couldn't stand the Port Neches bunch...

The United Nations….. what an oxymoron. I guess it’s true since they are United against America.

Don’t feel bad. At least you didn’t have 3 million on the TCU money line. Then again if we had Mattress Mack’s $ and system, we probably wouldn’t care either.

The amount of ignorance that believes a coach should be able to lead Vidor to a state title in 7 years or be fired is uncomprehencible.

I can promise you the OC from Liberty Hill will not come to Vidor.

May he R.I.P. 🙏🏾
