  1. All I can say is that’s how baseball goes sometimes. I’ll still take my Astros against anybody. Win, lose, or draw, I’ll still take them. Cleveland has a good hitting club. They went down and hit good pitches, which is not on the pitcher.
  2. Hope you don’t mind my adding something else from history that is coming to fruition. It needs to stop with Mamdani:
  3. Wasn’t ready for you to say something sensible. Your statement was easily mistaken. You are constantly attacking anything Trump, so there’s that. She is sick and evil.
  4. I bet it reeks of success.
  5. I guess I’m blessed not to have dealt with divorce and with kids involved. I would probably be in jail. I know lots of men who would make the better single parent, but the courts see it differently. I count my blessings.
  6. It IS true. Her boyfriend is even trying to smooth it over while disavowing her statements. She’s a sick, evil person and no apology is good enough for what she said about these children.
  7. This is what I could find. Notice there are no exemptions for political affiliations. Yes, Texas does have FEMA. FEMA is the agency that provides disaster assistance to states, and Texas has been declared a disaster area for severe storms, straight-line winds, and flooding, making FEMA assistance available on FEMA.gov. Specifically, FEMA is providing assistance to Texas for the severe storms, straight-line winds, and flooding that began on July 2, 2025. FEMA's role in Texas includes: Supplementing recovery efforts: FEMA provides federal disaster assistance to help Texas recover from the recent severe weather. Operating Disaster Recovery Centers: FEMA, along with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and the State of Texas, is opening Disaster Recovery Centers to offer face-to-face help to residents. Providing Individual Assistance: FEMA's Individual Assistance program provides financial assistance to individuals and households for losses not covered by insurance, according to FEMA.gov. Supporting Public Assistance: FEMA also provides funding to state and local governments, as well as eligible private non-profit organizations, for emergency work and the repair or replacement of damaged facilities.
  8. Well, he hasn’t gotten rid of it yet. President Trump has stated his intention to phase out or significantly reduce the role of FEMA, but he has not eliminated it. Here's a summary based on recent reports: Trump's stated intentions: President Trump expressed a desire to reduce the federal government's role in disaster response and shift responsibility to the states. He mentioned potentially phasing out FEMA after the 2025 hurricane season. Actions taken: The Trump administration took steps that some argue diminished FEMA's capacity, such as layoffs of experienced staff and cuts or freezes to certain programs. According to NRDC, these actions included slashing staff, freezing funding for local risk reduction projects, and refusing to enforce legally adopted standards for resilient recovery efforts. The FEMA Review Council, co-chaired by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, is expected to recommend further changes. Challenges and Concerns: Critics, including former FEMA officials, warn that significantly reducing or eliminating FEMA could leave states unprepared for major disasters, as many states lack the resources to handle such events independently. LiveNOW from FOX notes that some states have already experienced delays in receiving FEMA assistance following severe weather. FEMA's current status: As of July 8, 2025, FEMA remains an active federal agency within the Department of Homeland Security. It continues to respond to disasters and provide assistance across the country. Note: Eliminating FEMA entirely would require congressional action.
  9. Yeah, right. I knew you were pushing for a TDS “gotcha” moment. Guess what? Failed again. You Trump haters are a special breed. You are right about one thing though, it is being hid for a reason, but not about Trump. I guess you are of the belief that if you keep saying it enough, it will be true.
  10. Good switch up. What point are you trying to make? I’m trying to “acquire” some knowledge from your posts by “inquiring”.
  11. Inquiring minds would also like to know.
  12. Astros bats were sluggish early. Cleveland went from no-hitter to 4 hitter to tie it @ 4 off a 3 run shot by Trammel and a solo shot by Paredes.
