We're talking about the Jasper squad that just got rolled by LiCk'eM, right? Carthage by a lot.

Go Band! Here's something we're good at, anyways.

I hope BC wins. But I have the feeling that we can expect a Tardinal in 9 months.

Wow… just read the petition. I knew that things were headed in a bad direction when they banned the “chain gang” name. My predictions. 1. This will be CTs last year 2. His replacement will be black, regardless of coaching abilities. 3. WOS football will be irrelevant in 5 years. 4. We still won’t ever beat them.

"Those kids are just repeating what their parents say."

I've personally always felt that using a condom was like washing your feet with your socks on. BUT if you wear one you can truthfully argue that "I never touched her." It's a tough decision.

Hardin County reported 88 new cases this past week, with 26 new deaths. I think the worst of the Delta Variant has run through this area, but we're still having some gravely ill patients cross the River Jordan to sing with the Angels. It's ironically funny how practically all of the dead are unvaccinated despite the fact that you can get a vaccination for free just about anywhere. Darwinism at its finest.

Who among us doesn't deserve a fifth chance?

They arrested the Highlander? "There can be only one!!!!"

I saw on the news where they’re confident that the dearly departed was the same guy who robbed the JITB on Twin City a few nights earlier.

Nope... that's how it should be. A solid prosecution > my curiousity.

Will you revisit the subject whenever it's more common knowledge? I'm curious.

I read an interesting article on the subject yesterday. They explained that the chips that traditional car makers use are older technology... and that chip manufacturers aren't willing to invest in manufacturing, older, slower, larger chips for automakers when most new technology is relying on new technology. Part of the problem was blamed on longevity. The average smart phone is replaced after 3 or 4 years, max.... because technology is evolving that quickly. People are driving their cars for 10+ years in most cases, so the technology becomes obsolete before the car has run through its expected life cycle... and automakers aren't worried about cutting edge technology that will be obsolete long before the product is worn out. It was pretty in depth, and I'm guessing that the Tesla products are more technologically advanced and using newer designed chips/processors.

Livingston, Texas. Rachel Leggett was married to Timmy Leggett. They were supposed to be out of town one evening so her son decided to throw a party... which got canceled because Rachel/Timmy didn't leave town. Sometime after dark a pickup comes up in their yard doing doughnuts, so Timmy cranks off a couple of rounds from the front porch and the truck leaves. They decide to call the sheriff to let them know what happened, but Timmy is on probation for a couple of DWIs so they decided to tell the cops that Rachel, not Timmy, was the shooter. They also decided to tell the fuzz that Timmy was in the yard and the truck was trying to run Timmy over... because it makes the story less stupid. They call 911 and the dispatcher tells them that the vehicle was en route to the hospital because somebody inside the truck got hit. Rachel/Timmy go down to the SO and give statements saying that Rachel did the shooting because Timmy's life was in danger. Then the kid that was shot died the next day. Apparently the truck was being driven by one kid and the truck's owner was riding as passenger. The kids in the truck didn't get the memo that the party got canceled and were just showing up being rowdy. At this point, Rachel already confessed to shooting at the truck. Timmy's fam retained an attorney and he advised them to stick with their story (Rachel was the shooter) because "nobody is going to jail anyways." This rocks on for about a year or so while Rachel is out on bond... And Timmy is working down in the Valley. Apparently it gets lonely down in the valley (and Rachel can't leave town), so Timmy gets a mistress. NOTE... if your wife is actively taking a murder charge for you, DON'T CHEAT. Not even a little. The attorney (hired by Timmy's folks) just keeps saying to stay the course, it'll all work out. Against his advice, Rachel goes down and tells the truth to the authorities... DA, if I'm not mistaken. The law admits that they'd known that Timmy (not Rachel) was the shooter since that initial night at the SO because they'd overheard them discussing the matter. But Rachel's confession had them stuck without a way to prosecute Timmy. The trial comes and Rachel testifies against Timmy... something that they couldn't actually force her to do because she was still married to Timmy. Based on her testimony Timmy gets 99 years... but they prosecuted Rachel for lying about her involvement early on. I think a lot of it had to do with having bad counsel bought/paid for by the family of the guy who was put away by Rachel's testimony. Most people thought that she would get a slap on the wrist based on her cooperation with getting Timmy convicted. Wrong. They convicted her and sentenced her to the maximum amount possible for the crime for which she was convicted. After the sentence was handed down, the Judge walked down and hugged the victim's mom. The Texas Ranger that investigated the shooting had an affair with the victim's mom... the mom and dad subsequently divorced. The Ranger and the mom are still together, as far as I know. The kid played baseball and was a senior if my memory is correct. Every year they have a big goat roping or some crap over there. The family still thinks that Rachel should have received a life sentence, too. She's been up for parole every year and gets turned down. She's over eight years in now and will be released before her next possible parole date. I personally think she should march through the next Rhett Latham Memorial Goat Roping with her head held high and buy a t-shirt, but that's just my vindictive side coming out.

It's gotten to the point that I almost always assume that claims of overt racism are fake. That's sad, because I'm sure that they still exist, but but every time I see that some biracial couple had slurs painted across their garage door I'm like "uh huh.... here we go again." I was telling my Dad in 2008 about how I was worried that some redneck would try to assassinate Obama. He doubted it because "the people who feel strongly enough about race to actually act do something are too old to do anything about it." I don't think he was wrong. That's why the focus has had to move to "systemic" racism which can't be proved.

On a related subject, I know a woman that got 8 years for lying to the cops during an investigation. She's been in over seven years and just got turned down for parole again.... and she's been a model prisoner, supposedly. The case was a big deal in their small community and the DA/Judge/Victim's family have all worked to keep her locked up. It doesn't help that the Ranger who investigated the case ended up having an affair (and is still with) the victim's mom. Long story short, she'll do every day of her sentence when she's released next spring. I guess the good news is that there won't be any parole... she's just done with it. If anybody wants to hear the story i'll type out my version of it.

We're undefeated in District. Don't sleep on us.

I hate to hear that...

It's the lead on Drudge.... Your last post was from the Gateway Pundit, soooooo.......

At long last the auditing is complete... [Hidden Content] Biden won even bigger, LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Despite repeated claims to "not raise taxes on American families earning less than $600/year," They're trying to find unreported income from people who make ANY amount of money. Everybody's gonna have have to pony up their "fair share" in our new Socialist Utopia.

I'm pretty sure that God hates Newton County as a whole. Floods, Hurricanes, wildfires, more floods.... even their only Mexican Food Restaurant burned down. On a plus note, they did get the burned-down courthouse rebuilt. I actually had a place on Toledo Bend and Allstate was like "pass" when I tried to insure the place. They said that it was because there were no fire departments out there. I was like, "no way! I'm literally like a mile from the fire station at Indian Creek" and they just laughed and hung up.

My understanding is that the vent is a treatment of last resort... they put the patient on a vent when they will literally die in minutes because of lost lung function. I mean, they could forgo the vent and just let them croak and that would help your 75% stat, but I doubt that the families of the 25% who do survive would appreciate that. That's a remarkable change from earlier in the pandemic when they thought vents were the answer. We're in much better shape now than we were in the summer of 2020 in regards to treatment. If we were still doing things the "old way" this summer the Delta variant would have many more victims.

Social security is a pyramid scheme. Everybody just clenches their teeth and hopes that they make it to retirement age so that they can yell "it's my money!" when, in fact, there's nowhere near enough put back. If you hoped to retire, you'd need to put 10%+ into a retirement account that compounded with interest/growth to have any hopes of retiring. Instead, you're putting up 12.4 of your income (up to $142,800- you have social security withholdings above that number the wage cap used to be lower). When you go through the math, 12.4% of what you earned back in 1972 isn't going to make a dent in your cost of living in 2021 since that money wasn't invested.... there's been no compounding. Factor in all of the sick, lame, and lazy who never contributed much but started getting crazy checks in their 20s and it's easy to see why the SS Fund is unsustainable. It's going to crush under its own weight, but all that matters is getting to retirement age and yelling "it's my money, and I deserve more of it" which is a complete lie.

That stuff is DANGEROUS. Somebody gave me a chunk of a Nerds Rope/edible and I woke up with some strange woman's tongue in my mouth.
