This forum is where I made my first post about the STJFL back in 2008.....lol Unfortunately youth sports is not for the weak of heart or mind. I don't think it will ever be perfect, but through it all, (even the famous fight of 2008-my kid was on one of the teams) my Son and I have some great memories of Saturday football and weekday practices. Through it all, we got to see boys who would cry when they were pushed grow into tough young men. Hopefully this evolves into something positive

Get a new advisor or if you're doing it yourself - stop.......As of March 2nd, I'm down about .89% That does not put me back 4 years ago

What do you think it would take to get Russia to leave Ukraine?

He did get the popular vote after alllll that stuff ya'll claim he did

After 7th grade in Lumberton my kid told me he wanted to go to Evadale. To this day he has never really said why other than he initially said the kids are jerks in Lumberton and they bully too much. He assured me he was not being bullied, and being a starting football player, I didn't doubt him. I always taught him to protect himself regardless of school policy. Evadale was the best decision he could have made, and I reluctantly agreed because it was only a 15 minute drive. Small school, he made varsity his 9th grade year(that small of a school), started from 10th till gradation. They had small classes and the teachers cared. A-B student.....never got in trouble - watched like a hawk lol My point is I believe Aggies is 100% correct - the surrounding of your kids in schools and influences is probably more detrimental to your child than the quality of teacher. I'm not knocking teachers, I'm just saying typically peer pressure will have more influence than the best teacher.

He is doing exactly what he told the over 77 million people that voted for him he would do. I know that's unusual since Biden and Obama

LOL - yup

Can't be many.....

All Trump - Does not change my point or my answer

I've not done a lot of research since all my kids out of school and not a big priority for me. So school choice means I can go to any school I want to drive to? Obviously I would want the "best school" for my kids, like everyone else, so does that over-populate one school turning it from best to not so good due to amount of students? Could it put together a best of the best high school football team?? Thoughts @bullets13?

Man you are trolling today. The answer is NO. Several reasons, but the FBI was trying to end Trump and hated him. Had he made that communication it would have been leaked immediately.

They are not punished, they are actually rewarded. Several years ago, I did a loan for a Man who made made $28,000 that year. He paid $1800 in federal withholdings but got back right at 10K with the child tax credits. That is not paying taxes, that is the government rewarding someone for having kids. Maybe you can explain why that is ok.

***Name calling warning Second, this is not going to end well. When they release it I hope you don't squirrel out of your public bet with Regan.....to keep it on the up and up, you should send Regan the money and let him provide the receipt of his charity donation.

I agree there needs to be changed - I like the index card idea - think about how many jobs could be eliminated at the IRS. The roadblock will be all the lawyers who will not be needed. They are big donors..... My other comment was addressing CB who demonizes rich people

It's called "gold Card" - the media says "Trump's Gold Card" Kinda like the crappy Affordable Health Care act transformed to "obamacare" - but Obama didn't come up with that

Elon paid 11 billion in Taxes in 2023. He also employees over 130,000 people. This may be an unpopular opinion, but I don’t think you should be penalized or demonized for success.

@Reagan - what is your favorite charity?

I'm not sure how this is going to go, but it should be VERY entertaining. The whistleblower claimed two agents were inserted into the high levels of the campaign and were directed to act as "honeypots" and travel with Trump and his campaign staff. However, the investigation was allegedly closed because a media outlet obtained a photograph of one of the agents and was about to publish it. The whistleblower said they observed one or more employees being directed to never discuss the operation with anyone, including those involved in the operation. [Hidden Content]

He is explaining it pretty well in his cabinet meeting. Don't seem too bad to me.

I play with your troll........ Is trump doing anything to decrease spending? Are the Democrats mad because Elon is adding jobs and spending or mad that he is cutting......

Can the courts ask where the money is coming from?

God you don't read do you In a message posted to X late Monday, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said fewer than 400 FAA employees were fired and “Zero air traffic controllers and critical safety personnel were let go.”

I didn't see a question, only a statement., but I'll try I don't think Trump downed NATO. He does not want to be the #1 funding Country, he wants others to, wait for that Democratic talking point "pay their fair share".... NATO would be nothing without us - he is using that to his advantage. We are already great - we could be greater, and that is what trump is working on IMO. I'm not sure how old you are, but I will never forget a few days after 911 Republicans and Democrats came together united as one. The lines were erased and the focus was on protecting America. I was almost in disbelief. I hope to never see that again, because it took an attack on our own soil to make it happen, but we do come together when we have to.

The SOD laid it out pretty good on I believe an X post. He said while it could be called a cut, it was more of reassigning funds from non-lethal DEI projects to lethal priorities or training and supplies. He also listed things that would not be on the table. It sounded good to me.

These people really think Elon is rolling up his sleeves and making these cuts all by himself.......and if you listen to CNN, that is the impression they are giving...... I was channel flipping last night and it is back to his first term where all CNN focuses on is negative Trump. The host and 4 guest all hate Trump, they ask each other loaded questions and complain about Trump..... They have not learned
