I don’t consider myself a coward nor would I say I’m fearless. I think there are things everyone fears. As for this, I don’t know how I could mentally come to grips with the amount of fear I would’ve been in if I was unarmed under a table while a mob pounded on the door outside
Pelosi says her staffers hid under a table in her office for more than two hours. One of them recorded the Trump mob banging on the door of the room they were in.
I was fired because I got on the plane to Wrestlemania with a bit of stubble and because I tweeted a picture of the live event set at AXXESS... but I guess this is ok.
Unless the Federal Government plans on cutting checks for every penny we have paid into social security with interest this should be met with scorn by every American. Taxes are one thing to disagree about. Money paid into a system for us to get back in retirement is another
OUT OF TOUCH Senator Graham @ Social Security hearing: "I have military retirement, Congress pension plan, if you asked me to take a little less to save Social Security..count me in..."
MILLIONS OF AMERICANS DO NOT HAVE THAT LUXURY AND IT IS OUR MONEY!😡

here is the entire comeback by the Weslaco softball team after trailing 9-3 entering the 7th. Weslaco rallies and walks off with a 6A state title. You have to watch it again to believe it. Congrats

Can you describe why so many republicans have a visceral hate for Democrats. I talk to so many people in my FB group and almost none can have a policy discussion for why they are against components of a democratic platform? they clearly don’t have a knowledge of the issues,
Daniel Bryan lost the world title in like 5 seconds in the opening match of Wrestlemania, then y’all made him the biggest star in the world.
If you really believe in Kofi you’ll keep the support up and he will get his title back on a big stage. You didn’t honestly think he’d win

Andrew I am a former WWE announce talent who was mislabeled an IC. If you want I'd gladly tell you about my experience if you are the SOL or not.
Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), when asked why the state paid to transport migrants from Texas instead of from Florida:
“The problem is we’re not seeing mass movements of them into Florida … It’s just coming in onesie-twosies.”
Career news: Thrilled to tell everyone that I’ve picked up a package of college basketball games on CBS Sports Network starting in January.
Grateful to all the folks at CBS for believing in me and I’m excited to take that next step in my broadcasting career.
Just now,
Edinburg CISD has announced that the Edinburg High School Bobcats will not participate in the playoffs after last nights incident involving a player attack of an official.

I was actually thinking about this today. It was gonna take a political collapse of epic proportions for a Democrat to get elected Governor again here. And Abbott has really told everyone to hold his beer. His leadership has been painfully bad. I know many Rs still upset at him
Greg Abbott oversaw the worst response to a winter storm in Texas history.
He oversaw one of the worst responses to a Covid outbreak.
He oversaw the most bungled deployment of guardsmen for a stunt.
And now he is overseeing the worst response to a shooting in recent history.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO): “I’m worried that President Biden is nominating for federal office individuals ... who believe that this is a country founded in racism ...”
"This is no longer about just voter fraud or electoral fraud. This is something much bigger," Lou Dobbs said tonight, urging Trump to take "drastic action" because of "the crimes that have been committed against him and against the American people."

Keep sending your links I’m gonna space them out and spread them out so they don’t get lost in a single stream. I’ll get to all of them. I’m blown away by all the links and somewhat saddened that you don’t have more support from your districts for supplies
HS Baseball and softball teams in the valley are good enough to have better facilities. I think we need to have one or two facilities in each county for each sport that accommodate larger crowds with turf fields that can drain well. Too many good programs with subpar facilities
I know a RT is a very simple thing and I’m not a massive celeb or anything close to it, but if one extra RT gets someone to buy something on a teachers wishlist, or gets more RT…it’s the very least I can do!

Eliminated requirements also include the writings of Martin Luther King Jr., United Farm Workers leader Cesar Chavez and suffragist Susan B. Anthony.

Always a great player, now legend after today’s promo. Push him to the moon.

You don't hire us for campaigns. You don't visit our communities. You don't put us on your anchor desks to discuss the issues. You don't recognize the differences in the nationalities and what issues matter to each group.

It’s laughable that in 2020, this country still needs to be reminded, Sesame Street style, that Latinos are not a monolith & the Latino vote is a mirage. This misconception comes from how little u bother knowing us, how superficially u cover us & how absent we are in newsrooms.
