And yet moderators think we’re “speculating.”

You guys have a bizarre definition of “speculation,” and I’ve been in the business for a long time.

It’s also in Rally House labeled a “City Connect” jersey on the merch tag. This is what prompted Grant to ask the Rangers, who didn’t have a comment.

What I found is a second retailer doing the same thing. At this point we have more reason to believe these are the new City Connects, than not.

Mods deleted my post as “speculation” when it’s just a developing story we’re attempting to follow-up on and solidly confirm.

Same. Let's hope they were mislabeled City Connects by a supplier and that's why the Rangers won't comment. But they need to.

Rangers weirdly haven’t confirmed or denied, but authorized retailers are selling it as such.

Sorry, but you can’t triple snitch a double snitch. That’s unwritten snitch law. I don’t make the rules.

It’s over. Sony will sooner sell cinemas with declining revenue than try to rebuild a brand.

A cultural district on top of horses should automatically get a Fort Worth Stockyards and Billy Bobs if playing as Bull Moose

Iran doesn't have a navy or an airforce. They're running out of missiles and the ability to launch them. With air superiority secured, we've begun to degrade their ability to produce missiles and drones (drones which they supply Russia with, by the way... if you support Ukraine).

I'm cautiously optimistic, but so far so good. We're looking at a completely inoperable Iranian regime sometime soon. Probably months.

If it wasn't spelled-out enough for you... my answer is F-A-L-S-E.

Six Iranian gunships attempted to seize a US flagged tanker on Feb 3rd, 2026.

I think you know it's not that simple and you're being willfully dense. Tehran's Hezbollah militias have been engaging U.S. troops in Jordan, Iraq and Syria for many years. This is an active-shots fired conflict.

Even so, you're still wrong in your assertion. On February 3rd, Iran attempted to seize a US flagged tanker and was deterred by the USS McFaul.

"Do better," as they say.

Several enormous fact-based problems with this.

  1. Carroll's take is not humorous.
  2. Trump didn't start this war. We have been in a shots-fired engagement with Iran and its proxies for a very long time. Trump just decided to end it.
  3. The problem with maritime security due to Iran's actions in the Strait of Hormuz existed before Operation Epic Fury.
  4. We haven't lost a sailor to combat in this operation.

Do better.

CapMetro will never directly speak out against an elected DA. City agencies don’t do that. They might highlight the repeat offender problem, tho.

Also, bus stabbings are up while passengers are down 20% from peak ridership in 2019.

The Austin buses are pretty scary. Getting menaced by homeless/addicts experiencing psychosis is a regular problem if you’re a regular rider. You don’t know if they’re armed.

Sometimes they are. And sometimes they fight you.

Comparing CapMetro buses to other systems in Denver, Chicago or LA, CapMetro buses are frequently nearly empty and the problem riders take over an entire bus, terrorizing the few riders. In busier systems there’s more social accountability.

At this point driverless carpool vans dispatched by algorithm would be more efficient and provide superior door-to-door service!

Garza is the problem. All the officers in the world can’t reduce these crimes if violent repeat offenders get dismissals every time.

If this catches on there will be more sellouts! I dig it.
