Yes, that's exactly how it works. He's not my very bestest friend since the 1st grade. He's a powerful figure that likes to be in the spotlight. When his interests align with mine then I'll cheer him on. And when they're counter to mine then I'll tell him to go frick himself.

i thought he was the puppet master behind rispone

Heavens No
He donated to JBE and even made a commercial with Republicans for Edwards.

Rispone has no puppet master, he’s using his own money, and he didn’t get to where he is being “owned”.

Did this guy make his money or inherit it?


They're the family that owned Steinberg Sporting Goods in downtown Baton Rouge, currently the site of the 13th Gate Haunted House.

Lipsey's History

Joe Lipsey, Sr. started the family business in 1943 when he bought a hide and fur trading company from his uncle, Morris Steinberg.

Today, Lipsey’s is one of the largest independently owned, single location firearms distributors in the country.

Alleva is out and St. George is a thing. I'm 2-0. Lipsey is 1-1. Hopefully, he gets the chance to agree with me again in the future.

So far he's failed. He also failed at getting rid of F King. He did get JA moved from the AD position but he is still employed by LSU so I guess that's a tie.

as it should be. Can't fault Lipsey for trying to get his agenda accomplished though. I don't see where he is doing anything wrong as he isn't trying to stop the incorporation (as SWB is). Hes simply trying to opt out of the plan as is his right.


Just like it was your/yalls right to create SG.

No BJE supporter here, But what kills me about Rispone is that he parading around like he is behind Trump 100% policy wise, but he has never met a Foreign worker or Illegal that he didn't hire. IMO we are Screwed whoever wins


Somebody finally gets it here. Rispone is slimy and crooked as they come. JBE is not much better. The people need to demand better choices to help this state. I think Rispone will send it spiralling down faster.

The man spent 10s of thousands of dollars trying to stop SG.

He’s on Edwards side too.

Yes, he’s trying to further his own agenda, and that agenda is not in tune with many conservatives.

One thing StG has done is help to realize how messed up BR’s southern boundaries are.

When they were annexing in areas last time why did they exclude the school on Nicholson below Dean Lee I think and the street in between land annexed (or already in city)? It may be my phone but it looks like the road is a public EBR road while city incorporated everything on either side and at both ends of this section of Nicholson south of school. It’s a parish school and parish part of road. Those don’t normally seem left out when annexing almost everything around them.

Didn't Jim Bernhard oppose StG too? Everyone on tiger droppings loved Lipsey when he was pushing Alleva out the door but are now acting like he's a POS.

Slimy and crooked? You are so FOS. Rispone has more integrity than Edwards does, honor code or no honor code.

Dunno, but Lipsey sent out flier after flirt eugh half truths and lies about SG.

He backed Edwards twice now and even did an ad for him. He’s not one to carry the conservative torch.

Around that peninsula is some damn fine fishing fwiw... probably the best spot in that lake

Also funny that his house is in St George... I grew up a few houses down from his... which is a damn fine pad, tbh

That's not his right. That wasn't anyone's right lol. His right, along with everyone else, was having one vote to cast for whatever side he favored. A reasonable person would accept it or move. Not ask a municipality to annex roads that lead to his house.

But I agree that he can do what he wants and if he has the sway to make that happen then power to him.

My original post was just to say that just because a person agrees with someone on one issue doesn't mean they must agree on all issues. And such a situation isn't hypocritical in the least.
