  1. Im not a fan of thc products and you know my solution that works 100% of the time: I don’t use them. Ridiculous to ban the industry. the trouble with Texas is that it’s full of Texans.
  2. Still have 10 years left on my 2.6%. I actually had been planning to pay it off within 5 just to get it behind me when I retired. I need to rethink that plan.
  3. I agree that it unfortunate that Elon has burned all of the goodwill and technology that Tesla has created. But the blame is not on the person hating Elon. a better statement is that it was foolish and short sighted for Elon to force the dismissal of the great work Tesla previously accomplished. Tesla is most toxic national brand in the US. And it’s not close. And it’s not changing.
  4. With my job I have to answer my mobile even when an incoming number isn’t in my contact list. Most of these calls are telemarketers or scams. In the past scammers always have some thick accent. Lately the scammers have zero accent. Either they’re teaching American accents across the world now, or we’re onshoring the scamming business back to America. Or perhaps it’s an AI voice.
  5. It may not be banned at Bob Jones but that’s a far cry from being acceptable.
  6. Trumps bans international students from Harvard. https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/22/us/harvard-university-trump-international-students I can't wait to see the next Democrat President decide that Liberty Universit or Bob Jones University is against the law and must close. Of course, the Left would do that in the first place. EDIT: I wonder if they will make a carve-out for Afrikanner students escaping the white genocide in South Africa, or any and all Qatari students.
  7. There's a false narrative that there's a Texas Democratic Party. Obviously they exist but do they do anything but work to keep themselves in the minority? If they were secretly run by a GOP operative, would the outcome be any worse?
  8. It doesn't take much to interpret that actions by Abbott and Goeb are solely about keeping the GOP in power in the face of changing demographics. Even the school voucher program might harm some of their constituency, there is an element to have kids educated in private schools that can be openly hostile to actual history and liberal ideas. The top priority is always about keeping Democrat stronghold (youth, non-white, and big city) votes as suppressed as possible.
  9. While I don't agree with many of Barrett's opinions, from my non-trained legal perspective, but I give her credit that she actually does appear to consider the case in front of her. Unlike Alito or Thomas who only look to see the conservative view and then shape their opinion to further their viewpoint. I would guess that many MAGAts and Trump are disappointed in Barrett. Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think that Alito or Thomas would recuse themselves in any case these days, unless they were 100% sure their side had a sizable court victory. Even then they would issue an opinion. Not that this would seem possible, but if Thomas personally argued a case in front of the SCOTUS, he would still participate in the vote.
  10. Trump is turning the Oval Office into some weird apprentice set. Bring people in to insult them, and force his team to sit there as the live audience. I don’t think we’re far off that world leaders will just avoid him.
  11. I always forget about the scooter problem Austin has until I visit. Houston doesn’t have them unless someone personally owns a scooter.
  12. Are any major news orgs covering her accusations either thru their story or mentions by their talking heads? Mace may be insulated from defamation while physically in Congress but that doesn’t mean other outside of it are.
  13. I assume that Musk will need to undercut Uber by a wide margin or fully overload Austin will the robotaxis in order to gain real volume.
  14. Crazy that Biden last had a PSA screening test in 2014. I know that some cancer screenings are not recommended for older folks but the president isnt a normal patient. and for anyone that hasn’t had one, a PSA is only an additional test on the blood that is already taken. The doctor only needs to check an extra box and there is a slight (<$50) cost to someone.
