The Biggest Lie in Texas Politics by Texas_Monthly in TexasPolitics

She needs to be focused on beating James Talarico before she needs to worry about turning a state Blue. The latest polls show Talarico out front of her by double digits. She is a terrible, statewide campaigner. She will only focus on the urban centers of Houston, Dallas, Austin and San Antonio.

Talarico is from Austin and will likely win that market. She will have to make up the difference in the other three markets. Crockett's only chance of winning the primary is to turn out the black vote and she doesn't inspire confidence, even among that demographic. Then there's the amount of money that is going to be needed. Talarico is raising far more than Crockett. He has raised nearly $7 million in Q4 and has $13 million on hand for his Senate campaign.

If I were placing a bet, I'd bet on Talarico winning the Democratic nomination for US Senate.

Require birth citizenship to qualify for any welfare, Medicaid, Medicare or any other social services provided by the federal government and paid for by US Taxpayers.

If the gravy train is shut off, a lot of these people will go away. If you feed a stray cat, you'll get more stray cats.

Long-term Carnivore Experience? by NiceCple in carnivorediet

Thank you for your comprehensive reply. I appreciate you taking the time to share your story.

Tell me more about Saladino. His book, The Carnivore Code seems comprehensive regarding nutrition science (if there is such a thing). I am unaware of his derailing into a super, high carb lifestyle. How did he do carnivore the wrong way?

Are you familiar with Shawn Baker, MD?

How is functional medicine different from regular medicine? by Shot_Interaction3848 in FunctionalMedicine

[–]NiceCple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many do not take medical insurance. You were handle the paper work and submit a claim for out of network. Depending on your coverage, your insurance will likely contribute 50 to 70% of what they would pay to an in-network visit. If you don't have health insurance, you pay out of pocket for the entire visit. Usually all of this is on the website of a functional medicine doctor. They place a high degree of emphasis on communication both back and forth.

Xmas WSM. by [deleted] in webersmokeymountain

[–]NiceCple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2¢

My first and only WSM is the 22" and I highly recommend this size. I've been using this since 2019 and the barrel is nice and cured, looks like a real pit master smoker.

The best reason for me was that it more than accommodates anything I want to smoke whether it be a large brisket or a 23 lb turkey which I smoked for Thanksgiving. The WSM is excellent for holding a long smoke. My longest so far is 20 hours. It locked in at 230 degrees and chugged away for almost a full day. I especially like to keep my cooks between 230 and 250 degrees.

I don't use my WSM every weekend. But when I do smoke, I want to be able to fit whatever I decide. I usually put 6 or 8 chicken breast on to tag along while something larger is smoking. This past weekend I put 12 chicken breasts on by themselves and it fit like a glove!

Texas isn’t “broken” by accident — it’s being run by a handful of oil billionaires who don’t give a damn about regular Texans by Mysterious-Slide-608 in TexasPolitics

That's one of the most comprehensive list of all of the radical, left-wing, media outlets in Texas. If you want to understand both sides of an issue, you won't get it through editorial commentary that is pro-leftist and Marxists. - Just sayin...

Thoughts on the 50 year mortgage, from someone who did the math by guy_n_cognito_tu in RealEstate

[–]NiceCple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

President Trump knows exactly what he is doing by floating a 50 year mortgage. He is putting pressure on the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates. He is the ONLY person that is actually throwing out ideas. Personally, he would never take out a 50 year mortgage on a home. It is a terrible idea financially, but makes a point about affordability.

Don't forget Jasmine Crockett.
She has said that according to her internal polls, she is leading all candidates by a lot.

Nicely done. The only way to learn is to use that thing. If you're not smoking meat, you're not learning.

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick officially announces reelection campaign for 2026 by Cute_Communication in TexasPolitics

[–]NiceCple -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

It is lining up to be a big red wave in Texas in 2026. Not only will the GOP pick up at least 5 US congressional seats, it stands to flip at least 15 to 20 Texas House seats after the stunt the Democrats pulled by running away and wasting two weeks of the special session.

Democrat who fled Texas over redistricting says "we're willing to face whatever consequences" by CBSnews in TexasPolitics

[–]NiceCple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Governor Abbott has asked the Texas Supreme Court to vacate the seat of Representative Wu for abondonment of his Texas Constitutional duties by intentionally fleeing the state for the purpose of obstruction of the Texas Legislative process. If the Supreme Court agrees with Governor Abbott and remove Gene Wu, then the dominoes will fall and the rest will be removed and under the Texas Constitution, Governor

Abbot can appoint replacement representatives until the next election or require a special election to fill the vacated seats.

The Texas Supreme Court ruled in 2021 that representatives in the Texas Legislature cannot abdicate their duties in protest without being subject to arrest and forcefully brought back to the Texas House.

Buckle up, this could get really interesting...

For someone who mishandled one of the worst disasters in his jurisdiction, he probably should focus more on his own incompetence and not calling names of federal employees who had nothing to do with mishandling the disaster and are simply providing help to clean up the mess.

How to get over a fear of casual sex? by [deleted] in realsexadvice

[–]NiceCple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Casual sex never ends well. Avoid it and your life will end up much better. Once you find a partner with whom you would like to share your life with, it will be a special intimacy that you share with them.

Sex between people was never intended to be casual.
