Third season in a row.

We have a place 7 miles north on Highway 16 and the fire got to less than a half mile from the house. Hopefully they can knock this fire down today while the winds are down. Last update I saw was 40 percent contained, had been 8640 acres at one point.

Apparently air tankers were circling and dropping water or retardant most of the afternoon and evening.

Hey @KeithDB and @Aggie98nHouston ,
I am sure you will join me in condemning this 'able-ist' and biggoted attack on Governor Abbott right? We can agree this is terrible and Crockett should resign effectively immediately right?

Let's also not forget that Crockett had to ghetto herself up since she was not born in the hood.... but I am sure that is ok with you two since you voted for Harris who would change her accent to match the crowd.

This place is really solid.

Had the bone marrow bolognese pizza and a few others. Great stuff. The appetizers are fantastic too.

They only make 300 pies a day and run out so plan ahead

Today Supreme Court, in a per curiam decision, unanimously upheld the constitutionality of a law saying that if Tik Tok does not divest itself from Chinese ownership that it is banned. The issue will land squarely on Trump's lap who campaigned on saving Tik Tok. However, this was not an executive action, it was a law passed by Congress with strong bipartisan support.

As for the decision I am surprised only by its per curiam nature (though my perception is there have been an increasing number of those recently). The Supreme Court is historically loathe to intervene when national security concerns are raised. Some time ago they were willing to allow the racist imprisonment in concentration camps of tens of thousands of innocent American citizens, without any due process, or even charge, because a president claimed it was necessary for national security.

To be sure, the national security concerns are more legitimate this time around. Though I am uncertain how valid the concern is when applied to simply private citizens posting everything from stupid cat videos to recipes. It is certainly a concern for government and critical industry users. Critical to the court's decision was the finding that the law was "content neutral" in that it did not discriminate for or against any particular perspective.

Would not hate!

Doug Dechert, former gossip columinist and the event’s host, interjected: “The climate hoax!” The enraged yell prompted writer Anthony Haden-Guest to call the host a “miserable blob,” and ask him to “Shut up!” The pair have known each other for 30 years, the publication reported.

As Mr Dechert screamed about the climate change “scam” and Mr Haden-Guest, in turn, called him “f***ing insane” and “insignificant,” the presidential hopeful calmly observed the situation, the outlet reported.

The entire exchange came to an explosive end when Mr Dechert announced: “I’m farting!” followed by a loud noise that suggested he wasn’t lying.

Imagine that

When things in the Bronx are dark and (for there) quiet, you can still see it.
The ghost of Gerrit Cole, pointing uselessly to first base.
Even to this day.

Ags up 7-2 against Auburn

My son thought he had a summer internship, in Houston, but it doesn't look like it's going to happen. He can either work in Houston or in College Station (has apartment). If anyone has a good lead, I would appreciate it. He's willing to work for the experience (free).

Thanks!

Let's see what you have.

and it was his decision to withdraw from the race..... it could render everything he did unconstitutional.... would be hilarious if proved and that decision was rendered....

The Biden presidency might have been the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the American people. A shocking investigation by the Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project has revealed that virtually every document bearing Joe Biden's signature during his presidency was signed by an autopen — except for one.

What makes this revelation particularly damning is that the only document confirmed to have Biden's actual signature was his letter announcing his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race. Let that sink in for a moment.
