Ok, Geniuses.... a few months ago the Speaker was the most powerful person in the House and had to be stopped. Now that he's gone and SETX as a whole will be on the back burner, y'all are going "oh, well... what can the speaker do anyway?" If the speaker was so powerless, why were y'all so anxious to see him removed? Have fun watching our priorities get ignored.

Drive from BC to Orange on 87 and see if you can see anything new going on around there. Drive from Beaumont to Louisiana and see if there is any highway construction going on. Look at the GLO grants that have been sent to our area in the last 4 years. Look up the amount of grants sent our way on the criminal justice system.

To answer your question... mechanization and automation has cost a lot of jobs in ALL fields, not just the military. I don't have a problem with paying our troops MORE. We'd probably attract more and better, and God knows that while you're in it, you behind is on the line. But when you come home, the ride should be over. Obvious injuries aside, of course. Lose a leg and can't work? No problem. Slight hearing loss, gimpy left knee and, you guessed it, "PTSD" leading to a check for the next 60 years? Nah... that's wasteful spending.

I know a guy personally who draws a 100% disability from the VA. It amounts to $4300 or so per month. He got PTSD while working as a mechanic on helicopters. He also made $369k from Exxon Mobil last year. Does that sound a little bit wasteful to you? EVERYBODY sustains lingering injuries, whether they're playing college football, doing a little roofing, construction, or whatever. Nobody but the guys that we fed/clothed/housed/paid for four years get a lifelong pension for their "service." I get it if you're actually disabled. Can't walk, missing a limb, etc.... but free everything and a check for life, just because you went through basic and then deployed at Fort (whatever the new DEI name) for a couple of years? Serious business... we were ALL losing our hearing in our 20s... whether it was going hunting, riding a tractor, rock concerts, or time on the rifle range. It doesn't qualify you for a check for life. It's a bad joke.

Congratulations, SETX..... you just cut your own nuts off and handed them to Paxton and his cronies. But you did it for the good of the party, so I guess it's okay.

No.... that's where we need the biggest cuts. Veterans as a whole believe themselves to be the most entitled of all of the welfare queens. No more 100% disability awards while holding down good jobs. No more "I've got PTSD for all of the time that I spent in the engine room of that tug boat and I'll need free everything for life" stuff. You got a check for four years. That's thanks enough for your service.

That y’all got shelled in the first round?

Whatevs.

Is that better?

That wasn’t me… i got hacked.

Besides…. There’s no actual proof of this “bet” y’all keep talking about.

We all know Kamala got cheated. Deal's off.

Every person and media outlet that spread lies about election interference has had to retract, apologize, settle, etc… The funniest part is that you actually believe they were telling the truth before, but now they’re lying when they tearfully apologize and say “I was lying back then.”

[Hidden Content] Dinesh D'Souza finally admitted that the movie "2000 Mules" was all one big fat lie, for those of you that keep pointing to it as "proof" of election fraud in 2020. However, he thanks each and every one of you for believing his lies and making him wealthy.

How many championships has Newton won since Coach Johnston left?

Can y’all imagine if Woodpile and Burkeville South both made it to the regional finals next week, and somehow, some way Woodpile squeaked out a win? Minds would be blown. Game has to happen in SETX, for sure.

Y’all had it good for a long time… it’s pretty clear to see that it’s over. West Orange isn’t some blessed zip code that’s always going to win… y’all just had lighting in a bottle for a long time. HH isn’t a bad coach, he’s just not as good as your last two. Very, very few are. The question is whether or not y’all can attract another HOF caliber coach to bring the program back to dominance-which isn’t guaranteed. I think the future involves y’all mixing it up for DCs in some years, making the playoffs most, then eventually dropping to 3A D1 and having more success down there. No Thanksgiving practices in your future, though. At this point the chain is broken. There are no kids left who have any time under that level of coaching. I just don’t see things getting better.

I plan on making it out for this one. What are LaVega’s colors?

We're fighting above our weight class.... some would argue that we're the pound for pound champions around these parts.

That was my Halloween costume this year. I dressed up like a Pilgrim. Buckles on my shoes and everything. Then I pointed and screamed “WITCH!!!!” every time I saw a chick dressed up like a witch. 5 years old? “WITCH!!!!” Waitress at the bar? “WITCH!!!!” It killed.

Injecting a man with life ending drugs while he’s strapped to a gurney isn’t self defense. It’s murder. State sanctioning doesn’t change that fact in God’s eyes, IMO. Jesus also said to let “he who is without sin cast the first stone.” My point is that two wrong don’t make a right. Capital punishment might appeal to the public’s thirst for blood, but that doesn’t make it right.

You misunderstood what I said- I’m in favor of incarceration. My point was that murder is specifically forbidden while incarceration is not even mentioned as being sinful.

They should try opting down again.

Which one of the Ten Commandments tells us not to incarcerate a person for their crimes? Which one tells us not to kill?
