    Okay, so cool. I "aided and abetted" a terrorist when I called my congressman to bitch about the lack of due process for this dude and foolishly gave them my name.

    Good to know.

    This is how Trump plans to eventually ship Americans off to El Salvador. Don’t think this can’t happen. Hitler made it happen. Auschwitz is not in Germany. It’s in Poland. And, oh, Eric Prince is the personification of evil:

    https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/11/military-contractors-prison-plan-detained-immigrants-erik-prince-00287208

     

    Former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince and a team of defense contractors are pitching the White House on a plan to vastly expand deportations to El Salvador — transporting thousands of immigrants from U.S. holding facilities to a sprawling maximum security prison in Central America.

    The proposal, exclusively obtained by POLITICO, says it would target “criminal illegal aliens” and would attempt to avoid legal challenges by designating part of the prison — which has drawn accusations of violence and overcrowding from human rights groups — as American territory.

    Really am starting to wonder if I need to start scrubbing my internet presence so I don't end up being deemed worthy of a one-way ticket to the gulag by our dear leader...

    Please, don't ever confuse Katy with Aledo & Westlake and other single school football factories.

    KA+y ISD had 8 PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOLS when we moved away, 10 years ago (2025 at 30,000+ high school age, and 97,000+ total students).  They have a well established feeder system of elementary schools feeding middle schools and those feeding the High Schools. They do some arguable stuff with zoning, but it is 100% different that Westlake, Aledo, Southlake, Plano etc., the more affluent suburbs that have a single HS in their "school district."

    Katy ISD had many challenges. I was a parent volunteer on a HS advisory board, and president of Project Graduation at CRHS. Every month, 450 school age kids moved to Katy, the equivalent of building a new elementary school every month.  CHRS did not receive the states highest HS ranking because their performance of "english as a second language" or "limited english proficiency" was deemed to be lacking. Not just bilingual in Spanish, they had to accommodate kids that spoke 27 different languages and dialects, including multiple Chinese dialects. Some kids didn't speak any english.

    The demographics across the district were extremely difficult to balance. Cinco Ranch sent kids to 5 different Katy ISD High Schools, and 1 private one. The newer neighborhoods were populated with energy company employees with 2 college educated parents per household.  We hit our Project Graduation fundraising goal, raising $108,000+ v. $100,000 goal), in March. After discussions w/ the other HS, we stopped raising money, because other HS were not meeting their goals. (We took 600+ kids to an overnight lock-in & Dave Busters, gave away an obscene amount of prizes, and had 0 serious injuries/fatalities.)

    They did some stuff w/ zoning that was a bit shady, but more like 10-15% shady, not 100%.  The new highs schools were massive, and had room to grow.  Not so much the older ones, like Katy HS. 1,000+ acre Planned Developments were easy to account for. Dropping apartment complexes in shoe box size parcels was not.  What if you buy a house in one attendance zone and it is rezoned to a different HS?

    CRHS will always be 6A-Div 1, and Katy HS will probably always be 6A-Div 2. A bit shady, yes, but also the realities of the demographic flux.

    My son went to school with and played youth sports with a kid for 8 years. His dad went to Katy HS, and it was well known they were going to move from the CRHS attendance zone to KHS when he started 9th grade.  Shady? No. Not even a little bit.

    Also have it on rather good authority (someone I know who used to teach and coach at Katy HS) that its no mistake that Coach Joseph would somehow magically find talented football players who also just so happened to be living (on paper at least) at the crappy apartments right next to Katy HS...

    I was disappointed we didn’t get one at first but after touring the mockup and 747 I think we came out ahead.

    100% Agree, being able to go inside the mockup Shuttle is very cool and they did a good job filling it out with real artifacts like the spacewalk tools and such on the inside. Favorite part of the whole thing is the little RC 747 they have on display that they used to figure out if it was even practical to do the 747 piggyback.

  5. Only about a decade and a half too late on this grift job. Sure would have been nice to have one of the shuttles in Houston but not at the expense of having on at the Smithsonian. Guessing this won't go anywhere anyway but even if it does how they hell do Rafael Cruz and John Cornyn exactly propose they move the shuttle to Houston? Both of the modified 747 transporter planes are retired and on display, and the one here in Houston has a high-fidelity mockup shuttle already on it and they aint taking that apart...
