@summer_200005 nsurance made it too risky for marinas to rent boats with a captain. All the liability sat on them. So now they play a 15-minute video and let an inexperienced person take the boat out. Safer on paper. Dumber in real life.
This is my absolute favorite CNBC moment of all time. He never gave a shit even when it wasn’t popular…

Based people in Austin need to get more organized. We need to get rid of that Soros DA, and don't give that horseshit about "oh no all the Californians made that impossible" since San Francisco got rid of their Soros DA. The thing that frustrates me with a lot of Texas conservatives, particularly older generation, is they view politics as entertainment television. If you're not one of them and you do want to make an impact, then this comment isn't about you
You hear people say "oh no Austin is a cesspool/whatever", it's our capital fucking city, and it's got potential to be a great city overall, handing a city like that on a silver platter over to the enemy is stupid. Reality is a bunch of younger people on the right don't want to live in the suburbs or rural areas and ceding key terrain to a bunch of 80-IQ criminals isn't any kind of genius strategy. I should not have to move to the suburbs. Criminals should have to move to blue states. That's how this should work. We need more good people in Travis County, and by that I mean Travis County, not Williamson.
San Francisco, not exactly a right wing bastion, threw out their Soros DA. If you're telling me that this is impossible in Austin, you need get your testosterone levels checked.
A man bonds out for murder, then steals boxes of ammo from Academy Sports, then prosecutors dismiss murder charge.
What exactly do prosecutors expect will happen next?
AUSTIN MAN just had his murder charge dismissed by Travis County prosecutors, three years after he killed a man in a robbery.
APD charged Christian Alba, then 17, with capital murder and set bond at $1 million.
By October the capital murder was reduced to plain murder and the bond cut to $390,000. While in jail waiting on trial, Alba and four other inmates cornered a 17-year-old in a hallway at the Del Valle jail and held up a blanket to block the guards' view while they beat him. He was charged with assault and unlawful restraint. Both cases are still pending today, almost three years later.
He bonded out in February 2024. His murder trial in September 2025 ended in a mistrial. This past May, the court removed his curfew entirely.
Then on July 4, 2026, he filled a Nike backpack with 30 boxes of Winchester .300 Blackout ammunition at the Academy Sports on Brodie Lane and walked out. Surveillance caught the ankle monitor on his leg. He was under a court order not to possess firearms, of course. An APD homicide detective recognized him on sight. Arrested July 17, out on bond 2 days later.
Yesterday prosecutors cleared the board. Both murder charges dismissed. Aggravated robbery knocked down to robbery, 7 years probation. Unauthorized use of a vehicle, 180 days.
A man is dead, and the only jail time anyone will serve for any of it is 180 days for a stolen car.

BOMBSHELL 🚨 Investigative journalist Catherine Herridge says she found evidence that Joe Biden’s family was being blackmailed by China (and shows the documents) and our mainstream media ignored the evidence
“What we saw in the release of the records, which I'm afraid I think in the media or legacy media there was kind of a willful blindness. They didn't want to look at the records. All you had to do was spend a couple of hours. I found these records which are talking about blackmail by China. It was for President Biden's daily brief. I can conclude, I think, that it was probably about targeting his family”
She explains earlier that all this was ignored and buried by the FBI, CIA and the media in order to keep Democrats in power
Two months before the 2024 election, NBC ran an entire segment "debunking" the idea that non citizens vote.
Now that we know it’s happening, NBC and every network that ran the same story owes the country a retraction. And they should investigate the voter fraud they told us didn't exist.
