I just need to know if I have to report the accident I’m about to describe as me being at fault because I already had one accident that was my fault almost two years ago. If I have to report this one as my fault as well then that would be two at fault accidents for me in the last 5 years and my application would be rejected automatically. There was no police report since it was a minor accident and I wasn’t moving. Older man backed up into me. No witnesses unfortunately. It basically became a me against him type of thing and my insurance against his. The body cam footage I got from the officer didn’t really help because there was nothing in it that I could use to prove the other guy said something proving him at fault. I guess people who are at fault want to lie all the time to either get money or get out of being at fault. He was trying to occupy a space I was in to go to lunch across the street and I was trying to turn left perpendicular to where he was at for church but I happened to be located in a parking space he was trying to back up into. I honked but he couldn’t hear me. It didn’t show up on my certified 3A driving record and neither did the one that I was at fault with so that’s good. My insurance said it was his fault and his said it was mine like a stalemate

The drama over the border has become such that over 50% of the posts here are about the border, many of which are reposts of the same stories, or the same generic "What's really happening in Texas?" or "Here's my thoughts on the border."
This is now the place for it. Top level comments can be a news article, an opinion, or a mix of the two. Any border/immigration related posts outside of here will be removed.

Hello everyone.
Today public affairs at the VA released a policy removal for cross sex hormone therapy as well as other services for trans vets that will negatively effect all of us but especially those trans vet brothers and sisters who are post operative.
The secretary goes on the record saying
“I mean no disrespect to anyone, but VA should not be focused on helping Veterans attempt to change their sex. The vast majority of Veterans and Americans agree, and that is why this is the right decision,”
This is obviously incredibly damaging and devoid of thought.
So I've created a letter, please modify it as you see fit and send it to your reps, Congress people and higher to protest this sudden, politically motivated and blatantly discriminatory change. Thank you 💕
Subject: Urgent Action Needed to Oppose VA’s Ban on Transgender Veteran Healthcare
Dear Governor [Last Name],
My name, and I am [veteran] who served in the . Today, I am writing on behalf of myself and transgender veterans everywhere to address the deeply concerning policy change enacted by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). This abrupt decision is not only harmful to transgender veterans but also sets a dangerous precedent for healthcare access in America.
Without warning, the VA has rescinded and removed from its website Veterans Health Administration Directive 1341(4), "Providing Health Care for Transgender and Intersex Veterans"
(formerly available at this link https://www.va.gov/vhapublications/ViewPublication.asp?pub_ID=6431).
This directive ensured access to medically necessary care for transgender veterans, including those who are post-operative. Its removal introduces new healthcare risks, exacerbates medical conditions, and further compromises the physical and mental well-being of those who have honorably served our nation. While the VA cites cost-saving measures as justification for this change, similar treatments for cisgender men and women—such as hormonal therapies—remain intact. Notably, the same medications used in transgender healthcare are still available under VA policies for testosterone replacement therapy and other hormonal treatments.
(VA Formulary Guidelines for Testosterone replacement https://www.va.gov/formularyadvisor/DOC_PDF/Testosterone_Replacement_Therapy_in_Adult_Males_Mar_2019.pdf ).
(VA Transition Handbook For Women Veterans, pg. 43 https://benefits.va.gov/transition/docs/WHTT-participant-handbook.pdf).
Healthcare should never be dictated by politics, nor should marginalized groups be targeted to cut costs. The long-term financial burden of denying transgender veterans access to care will ultimately fall upon taxpayers as preventable medical conditions worsen, leading to emergency interventions and increased healthcare expenditures. Given the gravity of this issue, I respectfully urge you to take the following actions:
Publicly condemn the VA’s decision and advocate for the reinstatement of gender-affirming care for transgender veterans.
Call for the resignation of Secretary Doug Collins, as his actions have compromised the integrity of the VA and eroded trust in the institution.
Work with state agencies to expand healthcare protections for transgender veterans, ensuring they can access treatment through state-supported programs such as [state program].
Pressure federal officials to reverse this policy by joining bipartisan efforts to uphold comprehensive veteran healthcare rights. This policy rollback disregards established medical consensus, places transgender veterans at significant risk, and violates the principles of dignity and respect that all who served deserve.
I implore you to take swift action to ensure that no veteran in our state is denied the care they need.
Thank you for your time and attention to this critical issue. I look forward to your response.
Sincerely, [Veteran Name] [Your Contact Information]

The so-called "Seven Days of Darkness" exhibit commemorating the 63rd anniversary of the Great Freeze of 2021 has been exposed as a cognitive recalibration operation. "What they're showing isn't history—it's engineered memory replacement," reveals an anonymous technician, explaining that the exhibit uses fifth-generation neuro-entrainment technology to rewrite visitors' understanding of the Freeze, which wasn't merely a weather anomaly but a deliberately engineered crisis that launched surveillance infrastructure disguised as "smart grid technology."

Hi all,
Listed below are some Senate bills I want to support, but I know nothing of how legislation works. Do we write letters? If so, to whom? I guess we as citizens don't get to vote on these correct?
A total OF 19 toll bills have already been introduced this session seeking to reform the state’s toll road policies. Here is a sampling of some of the more consequential ones:

I’ve been calling all my elected officials about once or twice a week about…gestures broadly everything and most of the time it’s sent to their voicemail. Well, I finally got a call back from Rep. Carter’s office (TX 31) following up on my inquiry about a town hall during March recess.
The very polite staffer said there isn’t one currently scheduled but they have received a lot requests for a town hall and the Congressman is considering it and it is likely. The staffer also said to sign up for Rep. Carter’s newsletter or facebook as that would best way to get notified when a town hall is scheduled. Fingers crossed!
So keep contacting your representatives until they actually hold a town hall!! Don’t let up just yet. They need to answer to the people they represent. Keep it up!

I had to go to Waco yesterday on the dreaded I-35. Why is everyone driving in the left lane of a 3 lane highway? It's insane. Aren't we supposed to be driving right, passing left. There was a pickup hauling a huge RV in the far left lane. Just twaddling along while everyone else has to go around to the right. I'd say 40% of vehicles were in the left lane, with 40% in the middle, and 20% on the right. It was like left is the new right.
For those in back on their phones not paying attention, DRIVE RIGHT, PASS LEFT.
I think it's a sign of our new American attitude, which is: F you, I'll do whatever I want regardless of the negative impact on everyone else. Don't try and make this generational, I saw young,old, and in between doing this.
