Privacy Policy.<\/a><\/p>\nWith regards to the recent firing of the general manager, I have two things to say: 1. Better late than never (too bad you didn\u2019t do this when he asked permission to trade Luka Doncic). 2. If you want me to consider supporting the Mavericks ever again, end the lawsuit with the Dallas Stars immediately (and thus end the most egregious behavior ever committed by a Dallas pro sports franchise).<\/p>\n

Thought you meant Cowboys<\/p>\n
When I first saw the headline \u201cTrade, bleak season force GM out door,\u201d I immediately thought of the Dallas Cowboys. A historically bad trade and a dismal season certainly apply.<\/p>\n

Teach trades in empty schools <\/p>\n
It seems like every school district is shutting down schools for various reasons. Empty buildings are a drag on neighborhoods and magnets for bad actors. <\/p>\n
A simple answer is to repurpose these buildings. Turn them into vocational schools. Pick a trade, any trade, and I assure you we need more of it \u2014 plumbing, electrical, carpentry, computers, HVAC, culinary, etc. <\/p>\n
The major school systems should approach private entities to see if a public\/private enterprise could be formed. Gives these school systems a second chance to give kids an education that pays.<\/p>\n

A question for lenders<\/p>\n
Re: \u201c\u2019A World of Trouble\u2019 \u2014 Developer Harwood sells handful of towers, faces foreclosures,” by Nick Wooten, Sunday Business column.<\/p>\n
Wooten reports on developer Harwood International\u2019s attempt to sell some of its buildings. This, along with all the other \u201csee-through\u201d office buildings up in Plano and Frisco raises the question: Why do financial institutions keep lending money to build more office space when that sector is obviously overbuilt in North Texas?<\/p>\n

Pardons astounding<\/p>\n
Re: \u201cTrump pardons Giuliani, others \u2014 Mostly symbolic move underscores his efforts to overturn voting loss,” Tuesday news story.<\/p>\n
It is not often that I am astounded by a story in this paper, but that was the case after reading this story on President Donald Trump pardoning those who attempted to overturn the 2020 election. This hardy group continued to carry on the charade even though they were told by their own attorney general that their claims were without merit.<\/p>\n
Oh, I\u2019m not surprised by Trump\u2019s actions; he has shown nothing but disdain for our country\u2019s laws for most of his adult life. But I was a bit surprised at the pardons given to the Republicans who posed as fake electors in one of the most blatant election frauds ever attempted. <\/p>\n
And what shocked me to the core were the comments made by the Department of Justice\u2019s Ed Martin, who exuberantly crowed, \u201cNo MAGA left behind.\u201d<\/p>\n
We used to have an expression in the U.S., \u201cNo one is above the law.\u201d Clearly, we need to revise that to add, \u201cUnless you support Trump. Then just wait for your pardon.\u201d <\/p>\n
Can you even remember when the GOP stood for law and order? No, neither can I.<\/p>\n

Protect freedom of speech<\/p>\n
It was disappointing that there was no news coverage of the Monday night violent protests at the University of California, Berkeley carried out by demonstrators attempting to stop admittance to individuals who were trying to enter campus for a Turning Point USA conservative rally. <\/p>\n
Where is freedom of speech that UC Berkeley so adamantly professed and demonstrated for during the 1960s? <\/p>\n
It seems to me that these liberal campuses, such as Berkeley and others have one thing in common, and that is \u201cif you don\u2019t think as we do, you are not welcome.\u201d <\/p>\n
We must protect freedom of speech, regardless of the difference of opinions.<\/p>\n

Other ways to be complicit<\/p>\n
Re: \u201cWhat They Said,\u201d Sunday Opinion.<\/p>\n
This feature included a quote from Sen. Ted Cruz regarding Nick Fuentes\u2019 interview with Tucker Carlson. I think we could adjust that quote for Cruz.<\/p>\n
How about, \u201cIf you sit there with someone who still says the 2020 election was rigged, who pardoned over 1,000 people who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, who bombed alleged drug boats in the Caribbean without verified proof, who lies about inflation and most everything else, who has monetized the presidency and presses for the questionable, at best, tactics by ICE, and you say nothing, then you are a coward, and you are complicit in that evil.\u201d<\/p>\n
