Just felt I could raise him better, in a more stable environment, and that he shouldn’t have to suffer because she decided she wanted out of our marriage. If we’d had a girl, I probably would have supported all I could—but not pursued managing custody. I would have felt she could’ve connected better with a daughter. Of course, she’s been through 3 husbands since. So, a daughter wouldn’t have had it great either I guess. Meanwhile, I’ve been married to my sweetheart, and lived in the same house, for 35 years. It took a lot for a man to get custody back in the ‘80’s in Texas. I was in and out of court for 5 years. Spent just about every dime I had because she kept accusing me of all kinds of stuff. You know the drill. As a man in a custody battle—guilty until proven innocent.

2 young, Hispanic counselors helped save many camp girls. So, the accusations appear false. Others have also looked at the camp literature and found no inference even of racism. Saw another article where some previous campers talked about the camp and they weren’t white. Evidently, a very popular camp. I’d never heard of it before. [Hidden Content] Yes. It would have been inappropriate—at the least—even if true.

I think he means the accusations about the camp. That’s what I got from his comment anyway… The accusations of racism, etc. have already been looked at & proven to not be substantiated.

Sound so similar to me. My ex decided she liked someone else better, left me with my son (6 months old at the time), then wanted full custody. I fought and received managing conservator & joint. We split time. But, I took care of all his schooling, etc. As part of the settlement, I let her claim him even though I paid for everything & she had him during the summers & all the fun times while I put him through school and all the work. I guess I didn't screw him up too bad. We have a super DIL, 3 beautiful grandkids, and they've been married going on 13 years. My wife could probably get disability and other benefits now. But, we are doing okay and others have greater financial need. We take advantage of using the handicap placard--when there's a spot open which is rare--and assistance with ACA premiums. But, we still pay into the system even though we're living on personal savings.

Any updates from the Crosby faithful? @Justafan72 @Cougtalk I don't remember ever seeing any posters from the other schools...

'Absolute fake news': ABC's George Stephanopoulos pounded for deceptive coverage of Texas flooding‘ [Hidden Content] Hacks gotta hack. I’m not even a major Trump fan. But, this stuff is just getting ridiculous.

Could care less. Unnecessary position anyway.

Not a fan of omnibus Bills. I think they’re a cop out by Congress and always lead to pork. That said, I wanted the tax cuts to stay & reduce spending to pay for them. Reps are gonna have a hard time explaining because taxes never went up again from the 2017 cuts. People won’t notice a big change except for—possibly—medical. Dems & media will have a field day with that. Grandma will be dying daily.

Looks like Alijah Bright (RB/LB) may be at Goose Creek Memorial now? That would be a loss for LP. Also, don’t see the DC’s name. Big loss there… Interesting.

Wells could be a key. But, don't want to kick Saenz to the curb. He's paid his dues and been consistent running the offense. Pretty low mistake ratio. Just not really an offensive threat. So, it's a lost offensive position weapon. If they could find a way to move Saenz to receiver and utilize Wells, that would be a luxury. To my knowledge, Bright is still another RB weapon as well. So, you could have Reynolds (TE), Smith & Saenz (WR), Simon & Bright (RB), and Wells (QB). Will have to see. Losing the leadership of Barnes and Sandolph will be tough to replace. Last year, they were also fortunate to enter the PO's relatively injury free. That will be key again. Region 3 is gonna be a war.

Angleton O/D 8/4 Crosby O/D 8/6 Friendswood O/D 4/4 Kempner O/D 4/7 Kingwood Park O/D 4/4 La Porte O/D 7/7 Pasadena O/D 8/5 Porter O/D 5/5 Texas Football’s Prediction: La Porte Angleton Friendswood Crosby Personally, I’d reverse Friendswood & Crosby due to returners. I think the Cougars could be a surprise spoiler. La Porte has 8 home games this year. If the Bulldogs can get the QB position to be more of a threat along with the running game, the offense could be more potent than last year. Someone will need to fill the leadership roles to continue the program ‘rebirth.’ Angleton returns a ton of talent on offense. But, they lost a lot on defense. I look for them to be more explosive this year with more high-scoring shootouts.

43 deceased is the current count. 28 adults & 15 children. At least 27 more missing (girls at Christian camp) with an unknown number of others that may have been there for the 4th long weekend. Saying Guadalupe River rose 26 feet in 45 minutes.

Parliamentarian rules aren’t binding. The position was created because Senators spent more time arguing procedure than policy. It’s an advisory position created in 1935. Supposedly non-partisan. But, the current Parliamentarian was appointed by Harry Reid in 2012. Parliamentarians can be fired at the whim of the Senate Majority Leader. Some called for her firing over some of these rules. But, they backed off for some reason. If Musk is so frustrated he wants to start his own Party—which is nigh impossible because of rules created by Dems & Reps (the UniParty I think he calls them)—he’d be better off funding the Libertarian Party. His thoughts seem to align with them the best anyway, and they already have ballot access & Party structure set up. A few more Rand Pauls wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing in my mind. Make the 2 major Parties have to form a consensus with a third Party. Pretty sure some of the fiscal conservative Reps could be convinced to join as well. Wouldn’t take many. Eleven total would probably do it in the Senate. Just where neither side could get 50.

Better believe Dems will harp on people losing healthcare while never mentioning that 14 of Dem led States can still provide insurance of some level to illegal migrants, and we all pay for it because of the Senate Parliamentarian. That part will never come up.

Some items the Senate Parliamentarian shot down. Were going to be cost saving offsets. But, she thought they violated the Byrd Rule. (There were a lot more. But, this article had $$$ attached and the other varied articles didn’t.) [Hidden Content] I bet these rules are some of what Musk doesn’t understand, and leads to his frustration. Can’t say I blame him. To avoid the Byrd Rule, must have 60 votes. Don’t see that happening anytime in the near future.

Would have been good. But, didn’t accomplish it. 14 states plus D.C. offer Medicaid to illegal immigrants. All of them are Democratically led States. The Senate Parliamentarian stopped the Bill from not paying for any because of procedural issues. All the Bill was able to do was to cut Fed matching from .90 of every dollar to .50 of every dollar for uninsured ER visits. (So, taxpayers in Texas will still be paying for medical care for illegals in CA and 13 other states.) Thus, one of the major reasons the Bill costs more than originally planned. That, plus some last minute pork they always find a way to slide in. Dems or Reps. Both do it. [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content]

Depends on if you’re Airborne or Space Force. By the way, we had the grunts, the squids, and the pukes. What are the Space Force people? Space Pukes?

Not sure how much Texas will be affected by Medicaid & ACA cuts at this time. Texas wasn’t one of the 40 states that expanded coverage & took the Fed bribe money for Medicaid expansion. So, the hit will be a lot less than other states. The ACA looks like it will roll back the extra money for premiums that were added during COVID unless addressed before end of year in a separate measure. So, costs will go up by a decent amount. Also, the original requirement of income verification every year is coming back. (This was the original requirement anyway. You had to prequalify for a plan every year.) The sign up period has also been shortened. For ACA coverage, my recommendation is to use a broker. A good broker won’t charge you anything as they’re paid by the insurance companies via a ‘headhunter’ type fee. We’ve always used TXInsurance.com LLC. Husband & wife team. Been around a long time & provide a great service. They handle everything for you. No cost and you never even have to fight with Healthcare.gov. They do it all.

A financial explanation about the debt from someone knowledgeable. I’m for moving what can be moved to the State level after means testing to make sure it’s even necessary. That’s the way it’s supposed to work. It’s going to be a little painful because many have gotten used to big Fed socialism. A better job could have been done with cuts. But, you hear all the screaming at even what was done in this Bill. [Hidden Content]
