I would actually venture to guess that the majority of democratic voters are what we would call moderate or not extreme left. The problem is that they are so eaten up with party affiliation, just like pulling for your favorite football team, but they are blinded to what is happening. There was a time going back to the Great Depression that the Democrats claimed to be the party of the “working man”. They were for unionization and the Republicans were for a big business and not having forced unions. My best friend growing up and his family were absolutely Democrats and I heard his father say how could a working man ever vote for a Republican. I think that much of that thought continues through this day even with evidence to the contrary. I think the problem is not what the average working democrat believes but what he is told is the truth. Like in the Wizard of Oz, ignore the man behind the curtain….

And I am not against what he said, I just don’t think it’s legal.

If I understood it correctly, I believe Prather said that Abbott’s executive orders or mandates were not effective. He was not complaining about the Texas governor right to issue such mandates. I believe he is referring to the fact that the governor issued an executive order saying that people would not lose their job due to not being vaccinated. That was not complaining about the governor, it was saying that it was ineffective because the Biden administration, through himself, CDC, OSHA, etc., has issued mandates to the contrary of the Texas governor. Prather wants a special legislative session for the Texas Congress to pass a law that says federal mandates are not allowed in Texas. Basically the governor mandate is not good enough, it needs a full weight of the Texas legislature. That however contradicts Article VI of the United States Constitution.

People have long since said that 1984 is upon us. That was because of technology such as facial recognition, heat imaging that can track movement, license plate readers etc. That is not 1984, that is really progress. What is going on now is the beginning of 1984. It is becoming Newspeak that will replaced oldspeak and blackwhite will (currently) be used frequently. I am fairly certain that we are currently seeing miniplenty and recdep.

Jim Jordan should probably be the next Speaker of the House but he will not be and I don’t think he wants it.

That sounds good but if you read the title it seems like he is talking about mandates issued by the Texas governor. , Watching the video we see that he was talking about mandates on the United States law. The problem is that it would be a conflict with Article VI of the United States Constitution. He had just as well call a special session and say people living in Texas no longer have to pay federal income tax.

One strike called for not being in the box (one foot outside of the line) and out if he his it? Not an umpire but coached Little League for a few years… about 40 years ago. Just taking a wild guess for fun.

I typed something similar last night but never posted it. YEAR: 2075, the children who were in 1st grade at WOS in 2022 are now grandparents and… WOSHS is looking for a new head football coach. There is concern in the community however because Dan Hooks scheme might change if an “outsider” is brought in. But…. wasn’t Hooks an outsider?

The fair way to do it is to eliminate the property tax and go with an income tax. That thought however it’s repugnant to most people, especially those who do not own property. I believe the Texas Constitution forbids an income tax so it’s not merely a matter of enacting a law, the Constitution have to be changed. That would take an election of the people and I can just about guarantee that people will not want any income tax and again, especially those who do not own properties.

About?

It is highly unlikely. Percentage wise it was not that many people and generally speaking, the homicide rates dropped after Katrina and then Rita. The other major crimes have remain virtually unchanged from 2006 to today.

Because homicide is the most violent it is what everybody thinks about when mentioning crime, not shoplifting at Walmart. However….. If you read my post I mentioned all major crime. Beaumont has a 200% higher than the national average and Port Arthur has a home 150% higher than the national average. That is not homicide but burglaries, sexual assaults, arson, etc.

I started to make a comment about that possibility…….. As in, what was the motive?

I have to wonder at the level of stupidity. It isn’t because some teenagers got something to drink. OMG!! Shocking!! Uhhhhhh……. No. For two people in their position however, what were they thinking? Let’s see, surely these teenagers will keep their mouths’ shut and not talk to anyone about what’s happening and thereby causing us to lose our careers and become criminals. It should be a crime just to be that stupid……. They should have been charged with two crimes. One for giving alcohol to minors and a second for being an almost unbelievable level of stupidity.

Apparently it is not widely accepted because that half of the argument all along. If a person had Covid and it was confirmed by both diagnoses and antibodies, why should a vaccine be forced to keep a job? I am against the force 100% anyway but the federal government makes no exception for a person that has had Covid and recovered. So if they inject you with a created serum so that your body will produce antibodies to fight off the disease, why are the same antibodies naturally created no good? It sure gives a strong argument that it is about people control, not disease survivability.

Insurrection in this case is hard to prove because it didn’t exist. The analogy makes no sense because both examples given are the same crime which is a class C misdemeanor or the equivalent of a traffic citation.

And false…..

It sucks when you chase a guy down and murder him…..

Now suspect in custody. Loud bang…..Flash bang?

I just read a report that the two hostages were released. A suspect is inside of the apartment and (according to Kevin Steele) a loud bang was just heard.

Might be willing to make a deal on some of those colonies…. Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland…. We might take a wait and see on Virginia and Pennsylvania. Right now North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia can get a pass.

Back to the original topic…. You have to be a special kind of stupid to even remotely compare Pearl Harbor and 9-11 to the protest on January 6. 2021 or… your party is in a desperate situation and you were hoping that much of your base has no clue what you were talking about and accepts your lies as fact. It should be relatively simple because many people of voting age today were not born when 9-11 happened or were too young to recall it. I doubt you could get anywhere past single digits percentage of the population to explain what the attack on Pearl Harbor was to anyone under 35 years old and probably older. So let’s go back and make a comparison. I think in 1937 The Japanese invaded China in order to take over the country. Prior to that they invaded and conquered Korea in 1910. United States and others protested the killing and slaughtering of millions of Chinese including women and children. The Americans put economic sanctions on Japan to stop the slaughter of millions and for that the Japanese performed a sneak attack on the United States, a country that they were not at war with and had diplomatic relations, with the intent to cripple the American Pacific fleet and keep the United States from interfering with their slaughter of more Chinese. In Hawaii a little over 2,200 people were killed. What is not often mentioned in history is that the Japanese also attacked other American bases around the world including in the Philippines, Wake Island, etc. It was not merely an attack at Pearl Harbor but it’s several other United States military installations. The attack on Pearl Harbor was the biggest that drew the attention of the public. So we had a foreign government kill several thousand Americans in several sneak attacks. On 9-11-01 a sneak attack was performed by at least 19 foreign nationals. These attacks killed over 3,000 people. Apparently the current administration wants to compare those attacks by another country or y foreign nationals to a protest that occurred on January 6, 2021. In that protest, which was by American citizens and not a foreign government or foreign nationals, the protesters killed…. well they didn’t actually kill anyone. The sad part of it is not that they disgustingly compared those two attacks with the protest. We can likely understand even insane politics. The really sad part is that they are probably 30-40% of Americans who don’t understand it and probably believe it’s true. “Well, Kamala Harris said it’s just like Pearl Harbor so it must be really bad…..”.

Maybe cows do not get hiccups and if you identify as a cow, the problem is solved…. 😂

Huh?

Apparently the new district attorney in Manhattan believe that crime such as resisting arrest, armed robbery, certain sex crimes and so on need to be prosecuted as misdemeanors. There is no need to give a person a felony criminal record if he is holding people hostage at gunpoint. After all, armed robbery is really not much different than stealing a DVD at Walmart….
