More exciting news to share! The foundation for the new coliseum and dressing rooms has been poured. Also on Saturday, the foundation for the new elementary gym was done. Next foundation up: the new high school! Red iron to be delivered in April. #tornadoes2019 #don’tlookback #jacketPRIDE

He doesn’t live in a trailer house. Lol But you know what, I spent a few years in a mobile home growing up while my parents built our family brick home and I wasn’t any lesser of a person. So.....I know Stickstick meant that as an insult to the good folks of Alto (or maybe just to Jacket44 who lost his cool and ran his mouth)! Either way I’ve known some nice folks who live in “trailer houses.” And I’ve known some jerks who live in big nice houses. Best thing to do is follow momma’s advice and treat others the way you want to be treated and don’t worry so much about the house they are living in.

It’s bend over time America, brought to you by the Democratic Party. Ironically, a vast number of Democratic voters don’t pay taxes so they don’t give a . That said, I’m for a constitutional amendment that only taxpayers should be allowed to vote. If you don’t pay taxes, you have zero skin in the game. Jmo

Dims are notorious for cutting out write offs as well. Prepare thy anus

I think LO will be pleasantly surprised by coach Turner. If the community will get behind him and give him a shot. Sounds like some are already ready to shoot his wheels off. No wonder that program is in the shape it is.

Mavchamp, I want to Thank You for doing such a great job of keeping up with the 5A records and information for 16-5A, 15-5A, 7-5A and 8-5A were they all apply during the year. It's a hard and thankless job sometimes. I have to also throw in Lobofan07 for the stuff he does on the football season side of things too. it's hard work and a lot of hours just to do this on a one team level. I can't imagine trying to do this for multiples of teams. Thanks again to both of you.

I've been watching the NFHS broadcasts of the girls and boys state basketball tournaments. Paid $70 for an annual subscription. Man, I am hoping the UIL is going to allow home teams to stream their home and away football games again in 2021 and not go with NHFS exclusively, i.e., not allow teams to stream their home and away games. It's NOT that it's horrible . . . but the quality of the broadcast just isn't up to par compared to what home teams can do. I have watched several really fine broadcasts -- has anyone seen Texas High? Good grief, it's like Sunday afternoon NFL. Tyler was awesome, and Pine Tree was excellent. The NFHS announcers know very little, if anything, about the teams and individuals they're broadcasting. I mean, it's the state basketball tournament. I'm not expecting Craig Way or anything but . . . again, I'm not ripping these guys, they're fine. But technically, the feeds slip / buffer so much, sound goes away sometimes, they have bad angles, the scores aren't always right, etc... they do have instant replay, which all of us who stream have that. I may just be talking to myself here but I hope the powers that be allow us to do it -- even if we have to pay a fee to the UIL, we would here in Jacksonville. @MattStepp

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/biden-planning-first-major-tax-hike-in-almost-30-years-report/ar-BB1eBksJ?li=BBnb7Kz President Biden is reportedly planning the first major hike in federal taxes in almost 30 years to fund the economic program set to follow the recently approved $1.9 trillion pandemic stimulus package. Unidentified sources told Bloomberg that the increases will reflect the promises Biden made during his 2020 campaign. The planned increases reportedly include: raising the corporate tax from 21 percent to 28 percent; increasing the income tax rate on people making more than $400,000; expanding the estate tax; paring back tax preferences on pass-through businesses such as limited-liability companies; and setting up a higher capital gains tax rate for individuals making at least $1 million. The Hill has reached out to the White House for comment. As Bloomberg notes, an independent analysis of the Biden campaign's tax plan conducted by the Tax Policy Center found that it would raise around $2.1 trillion over 10 years. Tax hikes included as part of infrastructure and job packages will likely include repealing part of former President Trump's 2017 tax law that largely benefitted corporations and wealthy individuals, the news outlet notes, citing sources close to the matter. Biden had said during his campaign that he would repeal Trump's tax cuts on "day one" of his administration, though he has yet to do so. Democratic lawmakers have expressed some hesitance to support a tax increase. Moderate Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin (W.Va.), who has quickly become a key vote in Congress, previously told The Hill that he thought repealing Trump's tax cuts would be "ridiculous." He later walked back his remarks, saying, "Everything's open for discussion." "His whole outlook has always been that Americans believe tax policy needs to be fair, and he has viewed all of his policy options through that lens," former Biden economic aide Sarah Bianchi told Bloomberg. "That is why the focus is on addressing the unequal treatment between work and wealth." Any tax increases that are passed would likely take effect beginning in 2022, according to Bloomberg, which noted some lawmakers have called for the administration to hold off as pandemic-related unemployment remains high. An anonymous Democratic House member told The Hill in February that they did not think the government should be raising taxes. "People would accept the corporate tax raised a few points but beyond that you're going to have problems, especially in the middle of an economic crisis," the lawmaker said at the time. Republicans are expected to fight any proposed tax increases, though Bloomberg notes that there are some measures that they may get behind such as shifting from a gasoline tax to a vehicle-miles-traveled fee. GOP lawmakers may also support tax incentives that stop U.S. companies from moving jobs and profits out of the country, though they may not support penalties against such companies.

And this is considered one of the top MSM papers. And if you read the article, they weren’t the only ones. No wonder our Liberal posters are so misinformed. You get your news from Liberal sources, you get . https://hotair.com/archives/john-s-2/2021/03/15/washington-post-hey-sorry-headline-grabbing-quotes-president-trump-made/

WaPo got busted for lying, eh? Not the first time, you can bet The Farm on that.

One Party, and the MSM, did everything they could do to smear and ruin the reputation of an aspiring SCOTUS Justice, based on a totally obscure story of someone at a HS party, who admittedly knew very few details. Now that same Party has one of theirs who has seven women accusing him of sexual misconduct, complete with pictures, and they want to “let nature take it’s course”. Talk about hypocrites.

Got to give kudos to Barry, at least he doesn’t nick pick much on spelling. He did rag on me a while back over to & too, but he doesn’t do it as often as he could. And I have to give him an attaboy on the fact that when I b-slap the Dems and he knows I’m right, he doesn’t respond, but just puts his little emoji on my post.

SFA Lady Jacks return to the NCAA tournament as a 12-seed to face Georgia Tech on Sunday Georgia Tech HC Nell Fortner was a grad assistant at SFA under Gary Blair...The SFA coaching tree is VERY impressive

Back in the late 1990s and 2000s, I had the opportunity to do some TV for East Texas cable in football playoffs. I remember doing the semifinals game (color guy) in December 2000 at Texas Stadium between JT and FM Marcus. It was fun... but I just didn’t know anything about either team. I’m sure I butchered some names, too. My point is.... it’s just a better broadcast when the commentators know at least one team really well. Even if they are homers, so what? So I give some grace to the NFHS guys because they come in cold. Appreciate everyone’s feedback and comments!

We’re you just to Board to spell it rite? (Four words spelled wrong in that sentence..).

If you would have seen what the two Water Buffaloes had at the checkout yesterday you would understand why they were so fat. At least make some attempt at healthy eating.

Asylum has always been given. We just stop the fraud of the system during Trump. Anyone crossing the border can claim asylum and be let go into our country. That’s not how it’s supposed to work. The original question was in your opinion what percentage of people do you think want a flood of migrants into our country?

Do some research. The 72,000 is the estimate job lose. The article states it’s the highest tax hike and he is 100% responsible for all of it. I didn’t even mention the debacle at the boarder. We are seeing the destruction of the U.S. everyone that voted for this guy is responsible and we have not even made it 6 months yet

Anyone with a half of brain could forecast where this country was headed under the direction of dims. It's a sad day in #### for us and especially our kids and grandkids.

I have never been impressed with the NFHS announcers. I saw this weekend, they didn't know how to pronounce Clarendon. They could at least ask how to pronounce it if they weren't sure. A couple of years ago, my daughters team won state in volleyball and the guy announcing that had no idea on volleyball terminology or rules. The VB coach from Weatherford was trying to help him out, but the entire broadcast was a beat down due the guy.

Enjoy that stimulus check. Pide Piper is coming. what an administration. 1 pipeline - cut 72000 jobs 2. restricted drilling - lose of oil independence and loss of more jobs. Also drove gas prices up. 3. Highest tax hike ever. and y’all did not vote for Trump because of his mean tweets. Way to use your head

Just heard, on our local CBS News, that many of the illegals crossing the border are from the Middle East. If that gives you a warm, fuzzy feeling, you hate America and Americans.

Freaking PC, Cancel Culture madness has distorted everyone’s thought process. I must admit I’m torn here. Freedom of speech is a basic right, but the OC/Left has taken it away from us, primarily conservatives. Perhaps a lesson that we all are affected by this insanity will wake up some Liberals to not be a part of the Regressive movement. And since I brought up the movement, be aware it’s not progresssive. By their very actions, they’re Regressive.

The elites of BOTH parties in DC could care less what citizens think. That should be more than obvious by now.

https://www.foxnews.com/media/liberal-hack-tournament-brackets-cnn-msnbc More interesting than the NCAA tourny....

It’s nobody’s business how many miles a family travels. That’s complete and udder BS. And trying to make companies stay in America by force will only backfire on them too. Nobody will start new companies in the US. They’ll be forcing new businesses to support foreign countries economies more and more govt control gets closer to totalitarianism communism

If anyone drops before Tuesday they will be replaced by “The 1st 4 out.” Anything after Tuesday, whoever they play has a Covid issue, is out and they advance without a game.

Politics hurt attendance more than anything. However, there are pay options that you can do through YouTube etc if you want/need revenue, which goes back to your point and the point I made to my AD. If you charge $6 at the gate, but stream for free, you are going to lose half of the people who just don't want to pay.

Apparently a bad hip injury that kept him out for a month. Only averaged 9.4 points and 2.2 assists a year after putting up 17.4 a game as a freshman and earning all conference honors. I know SFA, Sam, and Lamar will be hot on his tail, and I wouldn't be shocked to see McNeese try to team him back up with Braelon Bush...With his ability to score there will be some big boys after him as well...

It really is laughable. I watch a ton of basketball and never fails I’ll lose to my 4 year old and the grandmas in the office pool!

I'll try later this evening when I get home

I just submitted the answer key! Good luck for second place!

I hope so. I personally think it’s a good idea to stream. Even though I don’t miss games in person. I want to be there. But I think most schools see the broadcasts as hurting attendance.... thus costing them ticket money, concession money, booster money.... etc etc

This job should draw lots of high profile candidates!

This will end badly for my bracket.

Unions love them some democrat. I have a buddy who is a fireman in Arkansas. Staunch Republican. He told me there’s no way he’d support a democrat. I told him that fireman are usually union jobs and their unions will support democrats. He looked it up and sure enough he found what I told him was true. That reminds me, I haven’t talked to that democrat lately, I need to call him and remind him he’s a democrat

I think maybe, just maybe, the UIL leaves it up to the individual schools

So when you say “next victim” were you talking about the next victim you were going to bash as a LO coach? Cause earlier you were talking about him leaving Frisco for a dumpster fire. Now you act like your the National Enquirer with all the facts on the guy. And he’s a poor choice. The dumpster fire ain’t the coaches there. It’s the people who coach from the bleachers and Smoaky. If it were just the kids and coaches it would be fine. Y’all murk the water there. Everyone within 60 miles knows it.

I would bet $50 that big old tub of guts has been obese for decades. “Orange Man Bad!”

Having to vote in person and having to show ID!?!? Oh the humanity! Such an injustice! Racists!!!! /sarc

Logan Turner been coaching for 7 years. This will be his 6th school. He’s never called plays on Friday night. From what I was told from a great source is that he was in way over his head when LS Head coach gave him the OC job but luckily brought coach Fish back bc he left Bonham and that he ran the offense. Lone Oak should have done their homework. He won’t be here long... look at his track record. Dad is an idiot as well. LO School board strikes again

I can but there is no reason for me to. I am not trying to bash the guy. I already said I wish him and Alto nothing but the best. I just thought the Alto posters were overreacting to their hire. Then they came out of the woodworks to talk back. One even gave me his address to his trailer home.

YOUR side is trying to subvert everything that America stands for; Anyone who is unhappy with America is free to Leave.

North Lamar would not get votes in 2a
