  1. Measles cases now being reported in Rockwall County. One school age kid has died in west Texas. I guess we should brace ourselves for measles outbreak all over the state. This is so unnecessary.
  2. As my gran’ would say, her ways make her ugly.
  3. I wouldn’t say never. The important thing is you were able to get the point. That’s what really matters.
  4. Well, all that will have to be done on 880 billion fewer dollars. Rich people need their money!

  6. Here is part of the tweet that prompted aggy to ask the following: “Is it fair or unfair for Democrats to be mad about this tweet from a political perspective? Dear Mods. I rephrased the question in a political manner without mentioning "paleoconservatism". I also phrased the question in the most neutral way possible with even asking if it is fair for Democrats to be mad about this. If not ok then please remove and delete. Thanks.” In my 90% white town, I can walk around wearing all of my jewelry, a cashmere coat and a nice handbag with a wallet full of cash. I can leave my doors unlocked. I can leave my laptop in my car overnight and no one steals it
  7. This is why I get so disgusted about the dishonest way we discuss race in this country. The take on the Black History Month purge at MSNBC is but the latest reminder of how screwed up we are on the issue of race: https://texags.com/forums/16/topics/3529937
  8. Watching all those alpha men sitting there with arms folded is telling.
  9. It turns out none of the “receipts are real. From the NYT: DOGE Quietly Deletes the 5 Biggest Spending Cuts It Celebrated Last Week The cuts, highlighted on an earlier version of the “wall of receipts” posted by Elon Musk’s team, contained mistakes that vastly inflated the amount of money saved. These were the original five largest savings on its list: An $8 billion cut at Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The actual contract in question was worth $8 million. The mistake seemed to stem from an earlier, erroneous entry in a federal contracting database. But contracting experts said that the service should have known better: ICE’s entire budget is about $8 billion, making it implausible that one contract could be so large. The U.S. DOGE Service adjusted the figure on the site after The Times wrote about it, and said in a post on Mr. Musk’s X platform that it had “always used the correct $8M in its calculations.” Three $655 million cuts at the U.S. Agency for International Development. This was actually a single cut that was erroneously counted three times, as first reported by CBS News. That mistake also seemed to reflect a misunderstanding of the way government contracts work; they sometimes have “ceiling values” far in excess of what will be spent. Experts said this cancellation was unlikely to produce anything close to $655 million in savings even once. Now, the site lists a much smaller savings for these three cancellations: $18 million in total. A $232 million cut at the Social Security Administration. Here, Mr. Musk’s organization appeared to have mistakenly believed that the agency had canceled a huge information technology contract with the defense contracting giant Leidos. Instead, as reported by The Intercept, it had canceled only a tiny piece of it: a $560,000 project to let users mark their gender as “X.” The DOGE site now shows that small cut instead. Some of the new canceled contracts added this week appear to make some of the same types of errors. The largest savings on the latest version of its list is a $1.9 billion cut at the Treasury Department. But The Times reported last week that this contract was canceled last fall, when Joseph R. Biden Jr. was president — and when DOGE did not yet exist.
  10. When I googled Abbott responds to measles outbreak in Texas, this is what I found:
  11. It’s still absolutely astonishing that this man can brazenly give a Nazi salute before the entire world, deny he did so, and have people agree with him.
  12. You think Joy is unattractive? And who gets to weigh in when a show/host is deemed to be overly race baiting?
  13. Are the plans in place to ship all the measley Texans off to work camps to recover?
  14. I liked her show, and her guests. I get that the way she brought smoke could be off putting to some. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. This was nothing more than a politically driven purge directed by Trump buddy and chairman of Comcast.
  15. I wouldn’t exactly call it an unintended consequence, but now that the federal government is no longer following its own laws regarding advance notice of involuntary separation from employment, it won’t be long before private sector companies will execute immediate layoffs with impunity.
  16. In a dramatic shift in transatlantic relations under President Donald Trump, the United States split with its European allies by refusing to blame Russia for its invasion of Ukraine in votes on three U.N. resolutions Monday seeking an end to the three-year war. The growing divide follows Trump’s decision to open direct negotiations with Russia on ending the war, dismaying Ukraine and its European supporters by excluding them from the preliminary talks last week. In the U.N. General Assembly, the U.S. joined Russia in voting against a Europe-backed Ukrainian resolution that calls out Moscow’s aggression and demands an immediate withdrawal of Russian troops. https://www.yahoo.com/news/un-vote-demand-russia-pull-050752472.html
  17. Then he should do women’s conferences with grifter extraordinaire, Paula White, and preach his signature sermon, “When Boo-boo Says Bye bye.”
  18. I like Stephanie too but she regularly drew 300k less per night than Joy. These firings were not about ratings Anybody saying so should stop with the bullshit.
  19. What cable news shows do you not deem terrible?
  20. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/24/opinion/trump-hegseth-cq-brown-pentagon-firings-jag.html?unlocked_article_code=1.zk4.89ZB.4DuL7BacdZGt&smid=url-share The former undersecretary of the DOD. and Air Force wrote this sobering article: We Have a Rogue President.
  21. Black social media is calling bullshit on this. MSNBC also canceled the shows of Katie Fang, Jonathan Caepart, and Ayman Mohyeldin. and fired the president of the network, Rashida Jones. Joy’s show drew 900,000 to 1,000.000 viewers routinely, while Morning Joe can’t break 650,000. Nobody will mention that Joy beat Andersen Cooper and Eric Burnett routinely and by a lot. I agree. Throw in Charles Brown’s firing, and this is Trump’s Black History month massacre. And he crowing about all over social media like the petty Betty bitch he is.
  22. George Zimmerman will be Bongino’s top assistant. He’ll bring on Kyle Rittenhouse and the FBI top brass will be in place.
  23. President Trump's Social Security Plan Could Cost the Program $1.5 Trillion in Lost Revenue. Remember now. Trump is doing this to help seniors. KEY POINTS Donald Trump has pledged to eliminate Social Security benefit taxes, one of just three funding sources for the program. Eliminating benefit taxes would give some seniors more money, though the wealthy would benefit the most. The move would accelerate the program's insolvency date, which could trigger sweeping benefit cuts sooner.
  24. But he did provide an excuse for firing Brown. Trump claimed to be righting a wrong that occurred when Biden “passed over” Cain and [unfairly] promoted Brown instead.
