  1. From some critiques I watched, Bronny had a subpar day in the combine in the scrimmages. Lebron can get trainers to help Bronny succeed with jumping and shooting drills but his game is still not ready for heavy college minutes.
  2. Sounds like the Humble school board was hoping that she would get the other job and resign. When that didn’t happen today they had to act. But she still works there, and I bet she gets paid even more when they eventually fire her or convince her to accept a settlement. People don’t leave a 300k salary without a fight.
  3. I imagine that all of republicans in attendance are being ordered there by Trump. My bet is that it's a hung jury. There has to be one Trumpist on the jury that will refuse to budge regardless of the facts presented to them. I hope that I'm wrong.
  4. take credit for any "win" but losses are at the local or federal level. And when locals try to take control, he passes law taking the power out of their hands.
  5. A problem with organizing the Houston/Harris vote is that there is no organization. While I'm sure that Harris and even Texas have a Democrat party, I don't know if either does anything other than small grass root efforts. They don't appear to have a budget or spokespeople to lead an drive. Beto is still the main Democrat voice in Texas especially because he can still get booked on national news/talk shows. Hidalgo probably has the pull to get some attention but she hasn't pursued that option. I'm unsure that widespread public speaking is her strength.
  6. interesting analysis that shows how the suburbs of the big counties are experiencing the growth this decade. Lot of dark green in the counties surrounding the large population counties. https://kinder.rice.edu/urbanedge/harris-county-grows-suburbs-see-big-change
  7. Harris County is not like Travis or Dallas counties in being a strong Democrat base. Harris county is also heavy with suburban voters who are very GOP. We're not going north of 60% in favor of the democrat candidate.
  8. no one is saying that he would be drafted on his own merits. He also wouldn't have been at USC if his last name wasn't James. Not to mention that LeBron can get Bronny the coaching and training to prepare him for the combine. Like with all sports, athletes now hyper-prepare for the combine just to put up incredible numbers. It's not a stretch to think that LeBron as the all-time best, or at least in the discussion, can get his son into the NBA. The guy at the end of the bench doesn't contribute much during games so why not give that spot to Bronny. Bronny is going to face criticism from the away fans at every stop but I bet that LeBron is pushing him because LeBron is ready to call it quits but wants at least 1 season with his son.
  9. Bronny is performing well at the NBA Combine. He might just find himself being drafted because someone has to be drafted this year. And while better college players might go undrafted, why take a college player who had 18 Ppg when Bronny gives you press and the potential to get LeBron. and does it change the Lakers win total if they keep the current 12th man or draft Bronny? (to be clear, Bronny does not deserve to be drafted based on his history but who said the NBA was a meritocracy?)
  10. Texas tax dollars are funding charter schools in Colorado? It never occurred to me that these charter schools are part of companies that go across borders and it’s only an accounting function to move money around. it should be a criminal act of their leaders to steal tax dollars in that manner.
  11. I keep reading stories, no links, about Houston area school districts having to cut staff because of budget constraints. But we were told that the new property tax laws weren't going to impact the education of our children. That lie didn't last 1 year. It's almost like it was the goal of one party to decimate public education so that the masses would turn towards private education which has the ability to indoctrinate kids regarding religion and their stance on cultural issues. but that couldn't be the truth, right?
  12. The GOP will look for carve outs for rural white folk. They don't see that as handouts.
  13. Why couldn't have this been televised? The public should have the right to see any trial with certain exceptions.
  14. I wonder if Kristi Noem asked to sit in on the proceedings, and was told that wasn't part of the courtroom strategy by alienating everyone.
  15. Trump and Cohen were POS in renegotiating bills that they thought were too high. In other words, allow vendors to negotiate "high" prices up front so they will agree to the job, but then refuse to pay that price when invoiced.
