  1. RIP Hagar, I really enjoyed reading his post. He will be missed by all.
  2. Just like there was no treason or Russia collusion in the Mueller investigation. What the Durham report proved is Obama and Biden were briefed that Hillary was planning the Russian collusion narrative.....and did nothing to stop it. There is a video of Obama stating he was never briefed in any CIA or FBI investigations.....Then goes on to talk about a hard line separating powers.....so, he lied. Lying is not criminal.... but he was certainly involved in trying to sway an election......you know, the thing Democrats accused Republicans of..... If you care to watch the video of Obama making those statements, it is up on Waters World.
  3. As a person with a concealed carry license it scares the heck out of me I did not know this. Legal to gift, legal to purchase as a private sale, but illegal to buy for a relative or friend( I get it, you actually lie on the application). Makes me wonder what other felonies I could unknowingly commit......
  4. 21 for long rifles that have a detachable magazine.....so semi-auto 12 gauges will still be legal. Here is my thought process. I don't think the act of making someone's first choice illegal will stop them from choice 2 or choice 3 if they are going to commit mass murder. The next shooting where someone uses a couple sawed off 12 gauges in a confined area may change the weapon of choice for multiple shootings. People that commited won't let a law stand in their way. I don't have a answer, I wish I did, I just think these "feel good" laws hurt more than they help.
  5. When I was young the almost weekly visit to Hi/Lo Auto parts with my Dad was always fun. My Dad would bring in a part, and the sales clerk would almost guess what it came off of. I remember bringing in bolts, belts and hoses and the clerk would walk in the back and try and match parts. As I look back, it was simply excellent customer service. The other benefit of going as a kid was to check out the Hot Rods that most of he employees drove to work or possibly worked on during their breaks,,,,,lol Now, The reason for my post. I have an old homemade boat trailer with older style leaf springs. Where they mount to the trailer requires a rubber bushing. It's a very simple bushing....All three auto parts stores had no clue what is was when I put it on the counter. Once I explained it was off a homemade trailer and what is was, one clerk looked me dead in the eyes and asked me for the model and year of my trailer....... So I guess I'm old enough to remember when people that worked in auto parts stores actually knew auto parts. If you are wondering why brick and mortar is a dying sales model, I found everything I needed online with free shipping, I just didn't want to wait the 2 days.......
  6. As TVC stated, I cannot think of a more horrible crime....... Yet, many, and I mean many, on twitter are demonizing Greg Abbott for calling the suspect an "illegal alien"..... SMH
  7. Posting is optional if you don't like the rules. We also allow general calls outs "libtards" and even "magtards".....you went directly to him......just chill with those type remarks and you will be fine......
  8. Why should he report something that is not required? Let alone never been a issue until now.
  9. I hear ya. Silsbee will still be about a 30 minute for me and 45 for the wife, but it's worth it to live on the creek.
  10. I sold my home in Lumberton last year and moved back to my childhood home in Port Arthur. The area I live has no apartments/a street over from "Groves" so the crime seems to be a non-issue. With that said, can't wait to build our house in Silsbee on the 3 acres we bought.
  11. Also, when politics causes Police officers to lose the "respect" or even "fear" factor they once had, it's dangerous and I think in some cities we are seeing the results.
  12. IMO it comes down to policies, politics and policing. Over the last 30 years. I moved from Port Arthur, to Port Neches to Lumberton and back to Port Arthur. Look at the crime statistics. 1. You will not get away with speeding in Lumberton (I have the tickets to prove it) 2. The same goes for Port Neches. It appears Port Arthur does not have the police presence these other cities have. They may not have the funding or maybe can't find recruits. All I know is I very seldom see a PA patrol car when I'm out and about. TVC?
  13. Perry just announced he would pardon if boRd approves….told them to expedite it.
  14. TVC, have you been following this? [Hidden Content]
  15. Biden cannot pardon State crimes.....
  16. My guess is disorderly conduct. If he is on a sidewalk (don't you need a permit to "assemble"?) and he may make an unsafe atmosphere by gathering a crowd near building entrances and roadway......but I honestly have no idea....
  17. I never had an accident or damaged a vehicle (I as pretty hard on brakes).....but I can see you upset over that....
  18. Ever heard of that happening? I remember police being pretty understanding at least when I was working. Looking back, I took some huge chances going through Crystal Beach headed to John Sealy. I remember getting one complaint from a highway patrol, called my boss.
  19. A couple things - I thought in PA at least ambulances could only go 10 mph over posted speed limit (not that we ever paid attention) Also, I remember there not being a "code 2" in Texas - meaning if you had lights you must have siren......was that true?
  20. If you wait until your that old, a life sentence ain't that long.......
  21. No, because resisting an unlawful arrest is still unlawful.
  22. One thing I do know, my battle will be fought in court. In my 57 years of life, one arrest for PI (in my early 20's, I was a passenger in a car who's driver was arrested for DUI, paid extra fine to have it taken off my record) and a few tickets, I have never had a bad experience with a police officer. I felt it was my job to give him no reason to harass me. As I get older, that gets a little harder....lol
  23. [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content] This was about a lawyer being arrested for not giving a couple cell phones to detectives because even though warrant asked for electronic devices, the guy handed the phones to his attorney before the search warrant was served (like 10 minutes before inside the courthouse)
