Lions Pride 2021

No he's not... Stay tuned.

When Livingston decides to play, they're hard to beat. I hope this was the game that got them in the right track.

75-39 Shepherd. Good game Pirates.

Me too. With Livingston its a crapshoot with which team will show up. Haven't won many games in a long time so they don't understand the amount of concentration it takes to win a game. Next year will be better. I really don't want to see silsbee in bi district but if that's what it is then it was still a good season.

Shepherd 54-Livingston 29 Q3.

34-15 Shepherd Q2. The bad Lions showed up.

17-8 Shepherd Q1. Pirates cleaning up the boards

We blew them out twice in summer ball. Most of the same kids are playing. It's no gimme but Livingston ought to win. If the good Lions show up.

I think Huffman is the better team. But I'm hoping for a Splendora win to make for a possible 3-way tie for first on Saturday with the second half of district to go. That would be fun.

It was a good three quarters. I have no complaints.

The good Lions showed up. I was wondering... This will probably go down to the wire

Correction 48-39 Livingston.

Livingston 47, Tarkington 39

They should have won this game easily. Livingston played bad in the first 2 quarters. I was shocked when they lost to them at East Chambers. The Lions have at least 6 losses that are just unexplainable. And only about three times have I went to a game and thought they were outgunned. There's still some work to do in building a winning culture here but they're on the right track. They'll win 20 games, make the playoffs and have a chance to go to area depending on their approach. It's been so much better than the past three years.

79-31 Livingston. It was over after Q1.

Shouldn't have been this close. Livingston was down 16-3 at Q1 and 25-13 at the half. They spotted Liberty a huge advantage. I'm glad they fought back and won.

You're talking about the orangefield game? That was fun but sad. I wouldn't say they live/die by the three. It sort of just flows in the game. Livingston has been bad for a while and this year they finally have the athletes to compete. This year, they're winning games by outmuscling people. Basketball smart teams are a problem for them because they can't stay focused for all 32 minutes. The good thing is the core of the team is sophomores, two are starting now and maybe the third will be back by district. They'll be scary the next two years if they trust the offense.

Grapeland is good, but not that good. That was the worst I've seen Livingston play this year; the body language was terrible. They didn't try at all after halftime. They just didn't show up. Very disappointing.

65-27 Grapeland Final.

48-20 Grapeland Q3

26-10 Q2 Grapeland

11-6 Grapeland Q1

Thats not true, Democrats have voted to provide money for border security for years. Last year, they appropriated nearly 5 billion for it and the deal that the president just vetoed and shut down the government, they agreed to nearly 2 billion. There was talk of 25 billion for a wall for a deal on dreamers at one time during this administration that got scuttled when tax reform came up. At a local level, police are trying to clear cases and if someone is scared they'll be deported, they won't cooperate. The cops would rather get criminals off the street than someone who isn't bothering anyone by working In a kitchen or cutting grass. It's picking the lessor of two evils. Immigration is complicated. Both parties have shirked their responsibility on this issue. Bush Jr, Obama and Trump each had control of all branches of government at one point and each punted on this issue. When everyone just ignores they laws on the books, then they aren't meeting the needs of all involved. We need to hold our officials accountable to fix this mess.

There already here. This is tough. I don't think they can be citizens. I'd fine and deport their parents and no more dreamers after immigration reform is passed. As long as they're being productive, working, college, military, etc. give them a green card. As for their parents, they can only get a travel Visa to visit the grown children after they paid the fine and three years have passed. Family is important. And I don't think there's a good way to deport what estimates could be up to 10 million people. If the parents want what's best for their kids, they gotta come forward, they are the ones who broke the law, not the kids. Without parents coming forward then no green card for the kids and they're deported too.

Increase temporary visas for migrant workers. There are lots of seasonal workers who would go home if they knew they could come back next years. And our agriculture industry is short on these workers. These were drastically cut in the 1960s, leading to a lot of Mexican s just staying here instead of going home. Any us born children are not us citizens because you are not a lawful resident unless one parent is a lawful resident. This must be agreed to before the Visa is issued so it isn't challenged in court. Streamline green card for people with student visas. If you graduated from a US institution, then make it easier for them to stay. Our taxes have helped these student get an education, let's keep them here so they can contribute here instead of in bejing or Mumbai. DACA - no grandfather citizenship. Everyone gets in line. Parents are fined 25k each and deported once the kids reach age of majority. They would have to wait 25 years to get a green card but could apply for travel Visa after 3 years and pay the fine. Kids would have a 15 year process to get a green card. After 2020, no child brought across the boarder illegally can claim DACA. Automatic deportation. Unaccompanied minors are automatically deported, no questions asked. Overstayed visas are immediately deported. If they have kids, they fall under DACA. Again fines of 25k if they have kids. Assylum - you must file for it at the US embassy in your home country or at US Port of entry. If you cross another country (Mexico, Canada) you have to apply for assylum there first. More immigration judges will be hired so that a hearing is held with 14 days. No appeals. If you're looking for work, apply for the expanded temp work visa. All caravans turned around immediately, no questions asked.
