I think the Free Palestine groupies are willfully ignorant.

However, it’s especially confounding to me that a former U.S soldier would wear a tshirt supporting enemies of the US.

Only because there weren't immigration laws


The Immigration Act of 1875 had begun federal restrictions, including excluding certain people such as convicted criminals and people entering for prostitution.
* The Immigration Act of 1891 created a more comprehensive federal immigration system and authorized federal inspection of immigrants.
* Ellis Island opened in 1892, where European immigrants were inspected before being admitted.
* Chinese immigration was treated very differently. The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 prohibited Chinese laborers from immigrating, and the restrictions were still in effect in 1900.
* There were also laws excluding certain categories of people, including those considered likely to become public charges and people with particular diseases or other disqualifying conditions.

My Italian great-grandfather wasn't even considered white, so there's that, too.


A few things to differentiate.
1) about 1M were entering per year in early 1900s compared to 15 Million in FOUR years
2) your grandfather came over legally with permission of our government and had to prove he had a place to live and a job (those without papers “WOP” were sent back). They also had to pass a check of physical health
3) there were no entitlements and no federal taxes (pre 1913) sink or swim
4) millions of immigrants returned to their home countries because they couldn’t make it here
5) immigrants were required to assimilate and were proud to be Americans
6) I am not aware of any Italians coming over with the intent of murdering their hosts. None decried “death to America” while defrauding the US taxpayers out of billions of dollars.

You cannot compare illegal migrant invaders with how our ancestors came to this country.

The problem with this case and others like it is that conjecture and hearsay are very difficult to prove to the extent required for prosecution.

Without a rape kit you cannot prove beyond a doubt that anyone did anything.

Unlike the Maddie Brooks case where she died and a blood tox, dna swabs, physical examination was done AND it was filmed.. this case will go to court with a Snapchat as proof?

Regardless, it seems like these boys are headed for the Duke Lacrosse treatment in the public arena.

Houston has more poor white trash around it.


I've lived in houston for 30+ years. I can say I don't see a lot of poor white trash anywhere. If you live inside The Arrow, you are very wealthy white. If you live outside The Arrow, you are Mexican, Black, Muslim, Asian, African... but not poor white. Suburbs like Sugarland are majority-minority. Katy, which has more whites is staunchly middle class. Same for Kingwood.

I'm from Missouri, so maybe my poor white trash benchmark is too low.

(for those not familiar: The Arrow is a demographic shape on the map that encompasses Memorial, Tanglewood, River Oaks, West University Place, Up Town, decidedly the only white areas inside the 20 mile radius of FM1960 are quite wealthy. )
A person who will scream at a protest about how they hate their country, the system, white men, whatever... will be the same person who puts their internal corporate dealings on blast for public consumption.

It shows lack of discretion and self control. Social media posts are probably more informative than an in person interview.

There’s like two hours of sod farms and a mushroom manufacturing plants between Dallas and Houston


obviously a bit of an exaggeration to illustrate that they are two massive sprawling cities within close proximity to each other. It takes two hours to leave the Houston metro area depending upon which part you're coming from.
I just drove through there from Houston a few weeks ago and it was kinda hard to tell where the outskirts of Houston stopped and the outskirts of Dallas begins.

I'd personally pick Houston. I love it here. I didn't grow up in Texas, and have no real bias towards Houston. I just feel like the culture in Houston is more deep south and Dallas is more midwestern. Love the Louisiana influence in my city.

I never felt like I was sacrificing sending my kids to these schools. I honestly feel like I got very lucky.


Wow, you really ARE a better person than me. I bet you are smarter, better looking, and smell nicer too.

First of all, if my kids are the top scoring in the class, they are in the wrong school. I want them surrounded by smarter people and have clawed and paid my way into some of the best in my city. I don't need them to know how to interact with people not like them. I need them to have well paying jobs so they can afford to send their own kids to school since they aren't gay, trans or black.

And secondly, you sound kind of pompous. Where are we in society that we've decided that black and brown people are intrinsically "good" by virtue of their skin??? Why are we bragging about minimizing exposure to white people?

Mortgage rates have soared back to 7% now after dropping under 6% earlier this year


the same people complaining about "inflation" (really they are complaining about high prices) are the same complaining about the cure. You want lower housing prices? Increase the cost of borrowing money and the cost of homes will go down. Lower college tuition costs? Stop giving out student loans. Yes this hurts middle class and poor people. According to basic principals of supply/demand there is no other way to address the prices.

In order for prices to actually drop, you need to go through deflationary pain. Which means, reduction of demand for goods and services. In order for that to happen there must be people who can longer afford stuff. This is the problem, Democrats scream when the solutions are implemented.

The cost of gas is the result of an artificial decrease in supply because of a chokehold in the M.E. As soon as that is resolved, the cost of gas will plummet quickly if the gov't doesn't do something stupid and start pumping money to the consumer for political reasons.

Correct, similar to how this Iran war is doing the same when we were coming out of that inflationary period from Covid spending of Trump and Biden



The cost of Biden's Build Back Better bill is roughly $2.2 Trillion Dollars
The cost of Iran war (thus far) is about $38 billion.

Its important to keep things in context before we go hysterical or else we end up looking like hypocrites for championing the expenditures that are 50 times bigger than the ones we are protesting.

I don't think anything is minutes from Tiger Stadium with Gameday traffic.


Last game I attended in person it took 2 gypsy cabs (first left me on side of a road) and over an hour to get from the stadium back to L'Auberge.

That second 'cab' I was intentionally leaving bits of hair and fingernail in the backseat because he kept making frantic calls to someone in either arabic/farsi/etc.. and thought at some point he would find it easier to murder me than return me to my hotel.

What is their obsession with Muslims?

3) they hate America

public schools followed by LSU should pretty much do the trick. The capstone being an LSU graduation with airbrush shirts, airhorns, and cowbells. Penultimate cultural experience
I have to go to the OU game this weekend for Parent's weekend. At least there will be beer and I can check the game from my phone.
What an interesting dynamic. The same people who slander the entire oil industry and push "green" energy are complaining about gas prices.

Is it because they suddenly realize the importance of the industry and want more gas for cheaper OR because they are excited about the political implications to the Trump administration?

My elderly mom will start sending me videos of cats stealing cars and clips of Trump admitting to 'being a pedophile' just like she thought he was. Maybe that pee-pee tape will finally be 'discovered'

We are actually past this stage. I think there will be political upheaval as biased information is fed into different AI models. Everyone will retreat further into their silos. Facts will become indistinguishable from fiction.
