Something that many don't realize, Texas has it's own music. As I write this, I'm listening to Josh Abbott band, of my longtime favorites. In fact, we really have two: Texas music (or Texas country) and Tejano. I don't know a lot of Tejano (not quite my scene) but Texas music is a treat, something that if you haven't heard and miss what music used to be, you should give it a shot. It is generally referred to as Texas Country, as it has it's roots as a rebellious counter to Nashville, but it has influences of pre-Nashpop, Southern Rock, Blues, the aforementioned Tejano (which does bleed over... one of my favorite is Rancho Grande by Roger Creager) Texas country artists tend to be independent or part of localized labels. These men and women are true troubadours, writing and singing their art while traveling from town to town. The sound varies as much as their background, some being straight up country and some being rock and roll. They work hard and play harder. The life they chose is rough, consisting of constantly travelling around our state (and further) with lonely nights punctuated by bright lights and loud crowds. They are true to their art and self, singing what they want and not what some producer in Nashville feels will get them on the top100. If you want some music that is as Authentic as our BBQ... Give it a shot. You'll be glad you did, especially when you explore enough to find those that fit your ear... they may be diamonds in the rough to the rest of the world, but you just might find a jewel that has a fire you never expected to see.

Hey @grok, can you tell AOC how many times Obama and Biden exercised military action without prior congressional approval?

Dude, tap the brakes. Get some back channel discussions going. This breakup is going to destroy any hope we had to move forward in the right direction.

A woman who loves you will put it there herself

I'll take "made up stories for $2000, Alex." Oh look, the daily double....

What's really weird is how many Minnesota residents own stock in Tesla, and you feel the need to hurt their retirement just to try to look tough on Elon And he's not cutting SS, just finding fraud and waste. Are you opposed to cutting fraud and waste in government?

Why do you not support keeping men out of women's sports????

Donated to act blue. Voted in the Democrat primary. You're an idiot

If you have to have something in secret and give talking points about how to avoid confrontation with parents, it's evil and shouldn't happen. Nothing at a school should happen without a parents approval nor should it be hidden from view.

This isn't about firearms. This is about a sick kid who the FBI KNEW about but did nothing. This kid made threats that were warned about TODAY and nothing happened. It seems everyone knew something bad was going to happen... except those that were killed.

Now hear me out... The WNBA should just lean into this and start licensing dildos. This could be the first licensing agreement with them that actually would make money.

And to think, this is something she should have been able to announce when she was genuinely ready to, but the paparazzi style coverage of every nit pick of her life has made her discuss it now. Sad.

Please speak up more and and continue showing you have no business being in politics Hey @grok, did Obama and Biden use military force without specific congressional approval? How many times?

I'll take... "Stories that never happened" for 1000, Alex.

They should dump her off in Palestine. By herself. See how she does

Yeah I would have zero questions with the guard opening fire here. Sneaking in is bad enough, but violently trying to enter our country? You are genuinely a foreign invader at that point. We are just protecting our sovereignty.

No, he ordered the government to use common sense and recognize that there are two sexes. You can call yourself whatever you want but the government will only recognize male or female

No, we conquered it. Just like his ancestors conquered those that were here before them. It's human history... a stronger group always displaces the weaker. It's how we evolved to be where we are now. Stop whining like a cuck.

Mtf "trans" are just fetishists

Let's be real... her kid isn't sobbing. If she really is, it is because Applegate fearmongered her daughter so much that she gaslit the hell out of her. There is nothing that happened last night that should make a 13 year old cry... hell, nothing that happened last night should make an adult cry.

Let's look at the biggest polluters in the world right now: China India Africa Yes, white men are the problem here.

Too bad they are hiding posts that support keeping men out of women's sports. Rather hypocritical

It's pretty easy to say that you require this of all your friends when you obviously have zero friends.

Well, for a tiny part of the population, the trans community sure is out kicking the coverage on violence. The number of trans shooters in the news, stories like this... These are signs of deeper psychological problems and they are not being addressed by transitioning.

He missed a day. If he had done April 1st, it would have made a lot more sense.

Seeing as how the school is part of government and the school denied his freedom of speech, there absolutely should be lawsuits filed over this. Do not go quietly into the night. Push back against tyranny.

The mistake is living in Cali where you cannot defend yourself. This man lost his life because liberals can't understand personal responsibility.

Didn't like what someone says so defaults directly to Nazi. Typical neo fascist liberal

So now a libtard judge is trying to force another country to do something? Make the stupidity stop.. please

Does it make sense to the story? Or is it just added in for "reasons?" I say the same thing about straight romantic interests, as well. There are a lot that are flat out unnecessary and generally detract from the plot. Same with the token gay man.

What are you talking about, Nate? Are you talking the violent acts that liberals are committing across the country by vandalizing Teslas? It's rather disturbing that the left didn't even just ignore it, they cheer it on

School was worried about a big lawsuit. I hope the school, the principal, the vice principal, any teachers/staff that knew, etc all get sucked into HUGE lawsuits now.

Good job, Coach. Stand up for your players and they'll go to bat for you on the field

So... Banning children from a meeting of people that is based around a fetish is ridiculous? Clown world

How many rapes produce pregnancies? This isn't about rape, this is about having abortion for convenience. Just be honest, that's why you want abortion. That's where the discussion is.

The Harris attempt at censorship is much more than just a threat against Elon/X, it is a first step towards the destruction of the 1st Amendment. To see the next steps, look at the countries that are most like us: England: Can be jailed for speaking against the govt or offending someone. You can only protest when and where they let you. Canada/Australia: Compelled speech And it's a lot deeper than that. Harris is showing her true colors and she'd make Lenin proud.

These stories are the ones we need to hear. Not just in regards to the police but all people. Journalism has turned into who can out extreme the other, so we are encouraged to be scared, angry and sad. Rather than focusing on the bad stuff in the world, celebrate the good.

If simply talking to someone about the ramifications of abortion can save a life, it's pretty telling how evil the leftists are that want to prevent anything that could convince someone to not murder their child.

Aaaaaannnnnd this is how we lose midterms and waste an entire presidency.

The counselor needs to be dealt with swiftly and harshly, but the bigger concern is the higher ups that allow and encourage this. I'm not a fan of lawfare, but suits should be filled and people need to be fired over this

Just the hips and the stomach are obviously a dude.

@elonmusk should just pack up the plant and move it to Texas. Already did that with the hq. If a state is going to be hostile towards you, move where you are wanted. With the long term persecution of businesses like this, I don't see how any company can justifiably be in Cali.

Elon, back away from the computer for a bit. I get egos clash. I really do. And honestly, I'm mostly on your side on this. However, this is just playing into leftist wet dreams

Every hunter I know would be sickened by this, I know I am. In fact, I want to know if he's really a hunter. He needs to be charged with felony level animal abuse

Tax cuts keep more money in the hands of those who earned it. Student debt forgiveness takes money from all and gives it to a select few. There's a very big difference in the two, brother.

And here's the thing... I do not think that women are 'asking for it' if they wear slutty clothing and get assaulted. I also believe that any male that SAs a woman is one of the lowest forms of POS there is. However, why on God's Earth would a girl tempt fate this way?

Exactly. Why no tears for the murder victims of illegal immigrants? Why no tears for the rape and assault victims? The priorities of the left are so messed up

Dude is rolling around trying to kill dogs by giving them cooked bones

They caused this and are now trying to cover it up

This is how you fuck a girl up for life.

This is what everyone was hounding her over. Very sad that she couldn't go through this in private but has to justify it because the media decided to go full paparazzi mode on her pictures.

I'm willing to bet the shooter was the same race. As such, it is of zero interest to the establishment. This is what real racism is.

Well, first off, you're a troglodyte because you don't understand two things: First, importing more people changes the census which can drastically affect the electoral college. Secondly, they have stated that they are directly wanting to give amnesty to illegals that are already here. In short, shut the f&%k up with your lies and disinformation.

Heaven forbid that tax payers get a choice on where their money goes.

And they wonder why they lost. The left has gone so far off the deepend that the middle doesn't recognize it. They are about hate and venom, not building America. Luckily, we are getting through to more and more Americans as they piss off more and more.

Lol the irony of you whinging about anyone's qualifications You weren't even qualified for a symbolic position with the DNC

The Blackhawk was apparently running without ADSB, which is what let's aircraft know about each other (one of them at least) Military aircraft run without ADSB with VIPs on board in the DC area so.... Who was on board?????

So, that MIGHT explain the ADSB being off, but there's zero reason for this to happen. You don't run a training flight in the dark, with ADSB off, in a major metropolitan area.... IN THE MIDDLE OF A COMMERCIAL JET LANDING ZONE! This doesn't add up.

Girl, I love you but... this one is a bit out there to me.

Truthfully, if I owned a liquor store in Canada, I'd pull all the American liquor and wait for the prices to go up then put it back out at the newer prices. But I'm a capitalist who likes making profit so...

Imagine being so bad off that you have to seek refuge in Europe for stating a hard, scientific fact

You started off with a genuinely good response then quickly went off the rails. Racism and it's allies are found on both sides of the political spectrum and permeates all races. By focusing only on the right/white side of things, you are ignoring far more than acknowledging.

Elon... Set up a la cart tv stations through X.. Only buy channels you want. You'll make a killing on it, I promise!

Seeing as how they charged and convicted Ethan Crumbley's parents with a crime, I would think this lady needs to be charged, as well. There's no double standard, right?

The massive mistake was bringing it out to begin with. This is just correcting it.

Something that stuck out to me when looking into the ordeal that @Riley_Gaines_ had to go through. Having a man walk around fully naked in their locker room was not something any of those young ladies should have had to be dealing with. Good on these students for standing up!

The great part is you can tell he really is having fun with it

I hate they are having to do this, but I respect the hell out of them for it. Hold the line and do not compete with men.

Wait, I thought y'all couldn't stand that Trump wasn't being put to justice? But the moment the Dem President uses his authority in an egregiously self serving way to pardon his son, you celebrate it? Hypocrites

I'm all for liberty/freedom. But, when you are accepting money from the government, it should be expected to have strings attached to it. One of them is to not waste it, and junk food is waste.

While this was absolutely scripted, I have a feeling this is one of those "behind every joke is some truth".... Probably doesn't make him wait until the shower to do it...

"Things that didn't happen"

You want to punish a man for speaking to his values? How fascist of you, George. You'd think that with what you lived through you wouldn't want to do similar things to others.

The details do not add up. "Grandpa saw the rifle and it is so unique" No, it's the most generic hunting rifle out there "It's a 2000 dollar scope" No, it's not. Can't see what it is, but I've been selling optics for 15 years. That isn't a 2k scope Then we also heard that someone else gave this to him. Maybe that was bad info but it easily could be another hole This is not adding up at all He's covering for his boyfriend who probably knew about it before

You don't save "millions" of lives when the vaccine doesn't stop the spread and the virus is akin to the flu in severity. Stop grandstanding like a twit and own up to the fact that the Covid stupidity was pure non-sense.

Oh stop blustering, you old harpy. You've proven time and again that you do not care about Americans. You care about your power and you care about your own pocketbook. This isn't you "standing up for what is right" but rather an old woman clinging to power and influence

She's crying about people being held accountable for breaking the law. Nothing more. This isn't empathy, this is living in a fantasy world Why didn't she cry over Laken Riley? Why didn't she cry about American citizens that have been killed, raped, assaulted, etc by those same illegals You are so out of touch with reality that you can't even comprehend what you are supporting

Or... Maybe it's a better idea to take care of your citizens and their needs instead of illegal immigrants who flaunt our laws. That would take care of the problem at it's root

You are losing acceptance because your group is forcing itself in unethical ways on the overwhelming majority. Most of us don't really care and wouldn't say much, except the trans policy of invading women's spaces and sports along with encouraging kids to transition (among others) cause many of us to push back.

If they're getting through, I guess we need to put more wire down. Regardless, how heartless can you be to take those pictures and not help. To clarify: THE PHOTOGRAPHER LET A KID GET HURT SO HE COULD MAKE A PHOTO OP.

This was a true RINO. He voted AGAINST Mayorkas impeachment, among other things. This won't change much, though I have little hope that we will get a genuine conservative in his places since its Colorado

Boy George is living in a fantasy land and trying to defend those who also subscribe to it. Fact of the matter is your post was spot on: No rights have been taken away from the trans community. They want PRIVILEGES, not rights. They have the same rights as anyone else.

Telling the truth isn't unkind. Lying and affirming someone's delusion, however, is very cruel.

And shows just how much of a joke the Libertarian Party is.

Damn there's a lot to break down here It's a (probably) gay guy that isn't dressing as a woman.... So at least he's not trying to be a woman. That being said, he's not filling the normal role of a male cheerleader and realistically brings nothing of value to the team It's virtue signaling and nothing more. They gay guys that watch football aren't going to tune in for this guy and it's just going to annoy the real fan base Retarded move by the Vikings

While liberals celebrate a hollow and short lived victory, Republicans are galvanizing to the point that we'll hit hard on turnout this year. Libs fubarred themselves.

What is "extreme misogyny?" This wil be abused to no end. Extra irony: @jk_rowling will probably be the first woman to be accused of it for saying that a man pretending to be a woman is still a man. The left already thinks that words = violence. This is the next step.

So, here's the elephant in the room no one is talking about... why did they disable you and withhold funds without contacting you? They are in damage control mode now and trying to sound virtuous but there is something else going on.

Dude, cry harder. You took a settlement after scamming people. You may not have been convicted of scamming people in the court of law, but it doesn't mean you aren't guilty. It is our right to express the opinion that you are guilty. Man up and stop being a twit

So, you'd rather us support Mexican farmers vs American farmers? I mean, par for the course with you... you have a very disturbing tendency to put foreigners over Americans.

This is what happens when one doesn't bend the knee to their ideology There is no room for disagreement, no room for debate You either blindly follow them or you must be ostracized. And they call us authoritarian... They accuse us of fascism

"Late stage capitalism" translated from "REEEEEEEEEEE!" is "I don't like that other people can afford nice things"

This vaccine worked. As did many others, sure. But do all medications work? We thought Thalidomide worked. How about Fen-Phen? The list goes on. This is a false equivalency, but you are too intellectually dishonest to admit it.

It's not a glitch. They just got effing caught, that's all. It's time to be vigilant, do not let them cheat. Do not let them disenfranchise conservatives.

A woman who built one of the biggest literary footprints in recent times put that on the line to stand up for what she believed in. That puts into perspective just how important it is to protect women's spaces... That one of the biggest authors of our time would say "my legacy is less important than protecting women" is awesome I do think that history will show that JK's legacy was enhanced in the long run by standing firm against trans tyranny. But even if it isn't, she is standing for what is right

How much did you spend on your campaign? I mean... Seriously, how big of a hypocrite can you be? the-independent.com/news/wor…

Yeah, dude's an effing commie for using an AK instead of an AR15

The fact that you, one of the most corrupt politicians ever, is saying this just broke the irony scale.

As with all things involving the trans ideology, this is a mixture of fantasy and fetish.

A woman who understands a good cigar is a sadly fleeting idea in this world. Enjoy the victory smoke!

And how many people lost their homes because of the mismanagement of the forests and other ecosystems by democrats and you over the past decades? You boast this as a win... it's not. People lost everything, and insurance won't cover it for many, because of your policies.
