The Republican election coordination is abysmal in Texas. Other than some no name campaign ads run on TV and spamming our phones, there is nothing from the Republican party to get people to the polls. Not even sending out sample ballots so people know when a election is happening and who is on the ballot when you do go vote


Nothing of what you are saying is true…. As noted in my previous post, a snow and ice storm blew in Friday evening that literally shutdown the city of FW from 1/23 to 1/29. I had to take PTO because schools were closed down.
I received at least 20 phone calls and texts to vote in special election and also numerous mailers. This was the only item on the special election with no other elections and no one really cares when another snow storm is coming and the last one shut power down and had no water for a week.

Less than 100,000 people voted in this special election. If anything this is a sign of Texas Republicans not getting the vote out for this special state election. Nothing more.

I live here, I voted last Friday in early voting as a major snow and ice storm was blowing in the day and shite down the city for duration of early voting.
This has already been done for federal DOT contracts by removing the DBE requirement for contractors and consultants earlier in 2025.

Who would UK hire? They have swung and missed on QBs since Levis left…. Hire a good QB scout FFS….
Bad breath and odors is a definite HR issue. I had a new hire I was onboarding with extreme BO. I gave him reading assignment and went to Walmart and bought him a 2 pack of degree deodorant and told him his stench was obscene and I as a manager was not going to allow it and he is in an office with clients and hygiene is in the employee handbook. He washed his clothes and started smelling better after that.
I wanted to fire him on the spot as he was a new hire but didn’t want to deal with HR.
The blowing your nose thing without a tissue may qualify as a hygiene HR issue.
DEI Businesses Unconstitutional

Good riddance to this BS in my industry of professional engineering consulting for DOTs! Ever since I got into the industry minorities (Chinese, Indian, etc.) or women can start a business with lessor talent and skills and mooch into contracts for major companies to meet mandated DBE goals, have to mentor DBE companies, and I’ve even seen cities/states tell me to team with minority firms with them as prime because they wont give it a big company.

Most of these DBE owners are filthy rich millionaires laughing at us.

According to the affidavit, a witness said she and Cobos-Martinez were cleaning a motel room when the victim, Nagamallaiah, approached and told Cobos-Martinez not to use a broken washing machine.
The witness told police that Cobos-Martinez became upset because the victim was speaking to her to translate rather than speaking directly to him, according to the affidavit.
At that point, surveillance video showed Cobos-Martinez leave the room, pull out a machete and begin attacking Nagamallaiah, according to the affidavit. During the assault, the affidavit said, Cobos-Martinez went through Nagamallaiah’s pockets and fought off the victim’s wife and son multiple times as they tried to intervene.


Can’t even talk to them without them killing you. Dude was beheaded for telling them the washing machine was broken…
Epic win last night and the Rangers needed it after losing Angels and Mariner series.
Lawsuit him into the poor house like the Democrats tried to do to Trump.
Sounds like another college spot opened up for an actual American. Thanks Trump for looking out for our kids and not illegals!
I interviewed with an executive of a company that bragged to me about outsourcing HR, invoicing, and admin staff out of country for peanuts and they were happy. He also stated he was hiring Mexican “engineers” to work in America in hourly positions who worked for fraction of an American laborer.
He also low balled me on everything and I told him to pound sand. Company was owned by person from China.
Just don’t smuggle them into the US. Let those animals kill each other.

Don’t forget about these garbage 3/2 houses not having any storage or attic space requiring you to use garage to store things, thus cars parked all over street.

Epic win! Otter’s Better!

Beat the Avs, the president cup Jets with Otter outplaying Vezina Trophy winner two years in a row, and stars are getting healthy! Looking a lot different than last year so oilers better look out.
So congress and executive passed this, but judicial can deny it?? What happened to separation of powers?

Seen it too many times the last six years. Good riddance Calipari and his 35-0 NCAA streak of winning games when leading by 6 at half is over now he’s at Arkansas!

That announcer at the half fricked us over. Broadcaster's jinx. Calipari was 35-0 in the NCAAt while leading by 6 or more at the half.


Not anymore! Good riddance Calipari and keep choking at other schools beside UK.

When is USA going to start prioritizing American students for graduate school over foreigners with better GPA’s from unknown foreign schools? Crazy the amount of foreigners taking over graduate programs in engineering and other majors compared to citizens.

Genuine question: Why would this lower level judge feel entitled to sensitive national security information? I guess I should say, what are any legitimate reasons she should feel entitled to that information? I have a feeling I know what illegitimate reasons she has.

So the judge can share this with Soros and Rice so they can keep suing and delaying Trump.
Trump will make sure the world knows Biden left those astronauts up there and gives Elon a medal.
Foxconn screwed Trump as well with that factory in Wisconsin in his first term. Need to read the details, but they need to charge them max tariffs until they put the money down.
King of England gave Trump a letter today on the news. I wonder if it asked him to spare his family more shame due to his brothers partying.
