I like the way you think. But as discussed before, fair value compensation would cost the taxpayer far too much

Perhaps. But I wonder how much it becomes worth if, as you propose, Europe finds him guilty of being a war criminal. If that happens, as you seem to think it might, does that not potentially guy both him and, by extension, his companies of their worth? I genuinely am curious.

Anyway, back to the subject of the board...

Russian losses continue to mount:

As discussed before, this Ukraine support bill could be the test vote for Trump's veto. He will have to veto it so the Congress will quickly find out how many GOP votes are available. After Tuesday, I think we'll be surprised at how many Republicans step up. It's the smart move.

Democrats in the US House and Senate say new aid for Ukraine will be a top priority when they take control of Congress in January, Reuters reports. They could attach funding for Kyiv and tougher sanctions on Russia to major defense or budget bills. Trump retains veto power, but the scale of Democratic gains could make a two-thirds override possible with Republican support. No substantial new Ukraine aid legislation has passed since Trump returned to office in January 2025.

In parishes affected by these, overwhelming GOP winners

IMO, Phlegming overplayed his hand allying with nutcases, including the web of envirowhackos extending from NOLA, and a discredited lawyer to attack Letlow. Dems used that more to keep GOP voters from voting. FWIW, Phegming never had statewide appeal especially as a do nothing congresscritter and a Fauci ally while in the Trump admin.

Vermilion Parish is overwhelmingly for SpaceX. Some of the home/camp owners at Pecan Island itself have already hired contractors to modernize and spruce up for AirBnB rentals.

SpaceX should be hiring before that election. They will need approx 1000 employees for the propellants manufacturing alone, that's $100,000+ paying jobs. I predict that SpaceX will neither own nor operated these to plants but contract with a company like Linde for the ASUs and an experienced company for its high purity LNG not attainable from export terminals.

Spoils from the dredging of internal existing canals will alone restore a lot of subsided marshland. Armoring the coast to protect launch pads will also show the clueless how it fights coastal erosion.

With the incoming NOT business friendly party in Texas, SpaceX just might relocate its manufacturing to Louisiana. The gov elect is already against SpaceX building the road to the Port of Brownsville from its rocket assembly plant.

Data Centers have been a cash cow for VA's tax base with little actual impact on the public They've kept the Dems in power there.

interesting set of fierce comments today.

Musk is correct and the incoming gov in TX might induce him to move SpaceX manufacturing to LA. FWIW, Musk didn't like being screwed on high priced LOX so bought a plant in Brazil, moved it to Boca Chica just as a bargaining tool and then cut a deal with Linde to build a new larger on. After he had his plant demolished gave everything to the contractor including cryo tanks to get it down and out of their. I am aware this because I personally know the contractor and his project manager who handled it from Brazil to being gone. They are from the Baton Rouge Metro Area except the PM who is in TN and once handled all relocations for Air Products' ASU and Reformer relocations until a divorce killed his company

Russian ballistic missiles slam Kyiv after Zelensky warns of mass attack

November 7, 2026 12:04 am

Several waves of Russian ballistic missiles hit Kyiv overnight on Nov. 6-7, just hours after President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that Russia was preparing another large-scale infrastructure attack.

As Ukraine's Air Force warned that ballistic missiles were bound for the capital, a series of explosions rocked the city, according to Kyiv Independent journalists on the ground.

The first barrage of missiles attacked Kyiv in quick succession, with the Air Force reporting that at least six missiles were launched at the city in the span of a few minutes shortly before 11 p.m. local time on Nov. 6.

Residents received an all-clear signal about 30 minutes later. But the respite was brief, with another aerial alert coming shortly before midnight. A fresh missile wave targeted the city shortly after 1 a.m., with Kyiv Independent journalists reporting another round of at least six loud blasts.

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported explosions in the suburbs and warned that Russia was attacking infrastructure facilities with ballistic missiles.

The full extent of the consequences are not yet clear. Attacks remain ongoing at the time of publication.
