As busy as this man is, it’s amazing how healthy he is… [Hidden Content]

Silsbee head coach Joe Sigler will be retiring at the end of this school year. Silsbee is now open. I will post my thoughts and some stats later. Going to miss Joe very much. Silsbee will miss him very much.

I am assuming that it was a regular pocket knife and have had that opinion since the first day. Had it been an illegal knife on campus, surely that would have been all over the news and an additional felony charge After saying that, next week it will come out that it was an illegal knife…. 🤣

It would only be right to give Berneathy a look since he played at Ball High and his Dad coached there for a long time. The guy that I'm hearing is a local guy to the county and has won a state championship nearby and is doing a great job in the 409.

Got swept by the mariners. This team can’t hit and dang sure can’t hit with runners in scoring position. Hope this changes soon!!!

I did it for 18 years, 2023 was my last year. Do I miss it yes, but lots of parents, kids ruined it for me. It wasn't fun anymore!

Take note, the long version was twice as long. 🤣🤣🤣

I will try the medium version. Bodily Injury and Serious Bodily Injury. Both are injuries but in the Penal Code, Serious Bodily Injury is distinct from merely Bodily Injury. Both have their own definitions in the Penal Code. If a person causes Bodily Injury to a person it is a misdemeanor crime. If a person causes Serious Bodily Injury it is a felony. They are different. Force and Deadly Force. Both are force but Deadly Force is distinct from Force. An example is the Penal Code says that to remove someone from trespassing you can use the reasonable FORCE necessary to remove the person. So if you reasonably believe that Deadly Force is necessary, is it lawful? No, the Penal Code has a distinct definition of Deadly Force. The law on ending Trespassing clearly says that you can use the Force necessary. It doesn’t say the Deadly Force necessary. They are different. Why do these examples matter? Knife and Location-restricted knife. There are locations that a knife is not a crime but at certain locations, a Location-restricted knife is a felony. A school, as is being discussed , is no different than a bar. If you go into a bar for a drink or play in a band, it is not a crime to have a pocket knife on you. So if you ask me, can I legally go into a bar with a knife, my answer would be yes. A school is the equivalent so has the same answer. If you ask me, can I legally go onto school grounds with a knife, my answer would be yes. If you ask, can I legally go into a school or a bar with a Location-restricted knife, my answer would be no, that would be a felony. So is a knife in a school a crime? No, which I’d what I said. Had a question or my statement instead have been, is a Location-restricted knife a crime at a school, the answer would be yes, it’s a felony. I was correct, a knife is not a crime on school grounds. Had you responded to me ONLY with the comment of a knife being illegal in 46.03(a), I would say that you are wrong because you cited a law about a Location-restricted knife, not a knife. So were you wrong? No. You salvaged it when you stated it is a felony “if knife blade is over 5.5 inches”. You gave the Penal Code definition of a Location-restricted knife. Great job! 👍🏼 😎

It has truly been a pleasure officiating for Coach Sigler over the years. His professionalism and integrity in the game of high school basketball were evident every time his team stepped on the court. What set him apart was not just his knowledge of the game, but the respect he consistently showed to officials—even in moments where a call was questionable, he never tried to embarrass or demean. He addressed concerns with composure and always maintained the standard of respect. Coach Sigler also went above and beyond by allowing me to come speak to his team on multiple occasions, giving insight on officiating and teaching the do’s and don’ts from a referee’s perspective. That openness to educate and bridge the gap between coaches, players, and officials is a rare and appreciated quality. Wishing Coach Sigler a happy and well-deserved retirement. Your legacy of leadership, character, and respect will continue to influence the game and those who play it for years to come.

Inside trading is a secret?

Yeah right. Economists said that they were one of the reasons that deepened the Great Depression.. Does this sound familiar Purpose: The act was designed to protect American farmers and manufacturers by making imported goods more expensive, thus encouraging consumers to buy domestically produced products. Impact: The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act raised tariffs on over 20,000 imported goods, significantly increasing the average tariff rate. Retaliation: Other countries retaliated with their own tariffs on American goods, leading to a decline in U.S. exports and a collapse of international trade. Consequences: The act is widely considered to have deepened the Great Depression by making it harder for American businesses to sell goods abroad and contributing to a global economic downturn. Criticism: Many economists and historians criticize the act as a policy misstep and a cautionary example of protectionism. Later Developments: The act was eventually followed by the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act of 1934, which sought to promote more liberal trade agreements.

But you recognize the hypocrisy between having outrage over a tampon machine in the boys bathroom because of the message that it sends to the kids, while simultaneously supporting a man who teaches young men to grab women by the p-word, right? If morals and decency weren’t important then, why are they important now? The sad truth of the matter is this-if Donald Trump came out in a dress as the spokesperson for his new “Trumpons” for men, you’d be splayed out on the floor with a mirror trying to figure out the two-part applicator.
