  1. First, I completely appreciate your approach with local politics, especially in Texas. There are so many national benefits to Texas being at least purple. I’m 36 and love that in my lifetime I will be part of a huge shift. IMO the cornyn seat is going to be really tough for the dems. He is pretty vanilla and people won’t line up to vote against him like Cruz. One possible advantage is people showing up to vote against trump and just going down the line for Dems. A dem candidate that is palatable to Texans could really help this race (hi Beto). I personally love MJ and live in the district she was shooting for. She is one of two candidates I have ever give money to. I do worry that she is a bit green for a statewide election against a long term incumbent. She would absolutely get my support though. Castro or Hernandez would be solid picks as well. Hernandez took it to Beto in many parts of the state, including the RGV and should not be underestimated. Wendy should raise money behind the scenes but that’s it.
  2. Betos about to fire up the ole act blue and make a trillion dollars....$5 at a time.
  3. If you want to go to another mission, Mission San Jose is cool.
  4. He’s just trollin
  5. I would have moved teachers around just to make sure your kid had a male teacher every year. They clearly need a positive male role model in their lives. Somebody not bigoted and psychotic.
  6. As an administrator, I have a few more hoops to jump through than that but it is very possible if you have the time to deal with it.
  7. Your wife is amazing and people need to understand that while she may be above avereage, people like her are more the norm than the bad teachers out there.
  8. It almost never goes that far. Here is a decent breakdown although more districts are offering longer contracts now. https://tsta.org/for-members/legal-information/information-for-teachers/rights-under-types-contracts Edit to add: getting your contract not renewed is basically the end of your career. It’s on the first page of every districts application process and will very likely bar you from employment. It’s not something taken lightly.
  9. 1. We need more positive male role models in education. 2. I know you are a troll but these attitudes are what keep men out of the profession. I mean who doesn’t want to be assumed to be a pedophile for 45k a year?
  10. Teachers enter the profession on a probationary contract that is easy to terminate. Once they have a term contract, it’s possible to fire them but harder assuming they are not doing anything illegal. They have protections that require a lot of documentation for that to happen. They can also appeal it to the school board. I have gotten rid of a few bad apples with term contracts but most just resign.
  11. So I should have been psychologically profiled for being a man in education? At this point I’m sure you are a troll or don’t live in the real world with the rest of us.
  12. Are you insinuating that I am a pedophile by making the catholic connection?
  13. I taught in that range for 10 years. The school I work at now has male teachers in those grades.
  14. Packing the court is a full on regarded idea. What would we be saying right now if trump was pushing that? He’s already got an advantage, which could be expanded with RBG or anybody else going down in the next year. Add two more picks for him and it would be lost for a generation or we go into a civil war fighting it. So why would I be ok with my side doing the same thing? Seems a bit hypocritical.
  15. These hit squads are really strange to me because there is no revenge factor. They are just ruining the lives of random people for no reason. It seems like these groups are attracting some seriously mentally ill people, which makes a little sense considering it is a high risk job. The characteristics of a psychopath seem to match up well with somebody in this field who is arrogant, takes big risks, don’t have remorse, and are very manipulative.
  16. Damn, complete menu overhaul?
  17. Those video links posted above I watched the HPD video and immediately thought that it didn’t make sense. I was excited to hear the other guy’s take. However, it appears that he must be a pirate as it’s the only explanation why he would have a screeching bird that obnoxious. Is there anybody not related to Blackbeard claiming the two hour thing?
  18. Sorry, I haven’t had a chance to keep up with every facet of this ridiculous situation. Where is the two hour thing coming from?
  19. Not sure how many name changes they can withstand but I agree that the food is pretty good. Should have just stuck with verts.
  20. Agree. He’s quickly making a name as one of the worst.
  21. I wonder how many people are going to get let out of jail when all of this comes to light. Any other case involving this group of dirty cops testimony should be tossed. Not really easy to prove when you started lying. Once your credibility is gone then everybody should get out IMO.
  22. Get the green Chile burger at Mesa grill.
  23. I was watching the news this morning and they were showing that some police dog now has a bullet proof vest to keep it safe. Quite ironic considering the first thing the cops do is shoot the family dog in front of the terrified owners. Shoot the cop dog and you will rot under the jail. They kill your dog as a matter of procedure.
  24. The dice doesn’t have a memory so it doesn’t matter what was rolled previously. The odds are adjusted for each of the numbers so, over time, you would come out the same as betting the 6 and 8. In the short term you might be better off.
  25. This issue is very simple to me. Either everybody gets their person of faith (within reason) or nobody does. It has nothing to do with the murderer being a terrible person. Theoretically, everybody in that situation is. This is purely about southern conservatives pushing their brand of religion on everybody else per the usual. They will also tell you that they are under attack and their religious freedoms are being taken away.
