Congratulations to the US female and the separate male hockey team winning the gold medal and doing so without all the media glamor and WITH the patriotism for an America that used to be prominent in sports. God bless hockey as the last real tough major sport that is still very pure. A joy to watch.

Seeing half the big need to see and do things and half the secret low key real deal authentic places? We are in our late 60’s and have done Italy, Greece, Russia and the US planning our own trip, staying with locals, hostels and even camping but probably would want some guided day tours and some self guided exploring and nothing more rustic than a small on site owned B&B or boarding house. Natural and historic beauty is our thing. And food and drink.

That to do anything to not give TPUSA any credit, liberals will support perhaps the largest, whitest most capitalistic monopoly in the US who has hired NO black head coaches this year and had about 55% of players who are black but only about 14% of the head coaches are black.

You really got to laugh when liberals come out in favor of rich capitalist white men if they virtue signal but not if they support family values.

“ Democrats in both chambers struggled to reconcile their die-hard opposition when 82% of Hispanic voters and 76% of Black voters support a photo ID requirement at the polls, according to a Pew Research Center survey last year. The survey found that 85% of White voters and 77% of Asian American voters support requiring a government-issued photo ID to vote.
Although a photo ID requirement is more popular among Republican voters, at 95%, it is also supported by 71% of Democrats

And then will complain that nobody loves them.

“Multiple members of Team USA’s freestyle skiing team took the opportunity to trash U.S. immigration policies and the country itself ahead of the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, Italy.”

If we taxpayers subsidize this team we need to end it. They can pay their own way.

If you don’t approve of the pro illegal immigration, anti ICE , pro transgender agenda of the halftime show staring BadBunny or the fact that the NFL hired no black coaches, You can tune in to “The All-American Halftime Show” sponsored by TPUSA. Kid Rock and other great music.

The “All-American Halftime Show” will stream live and free on X, Rumble, and YouTube!

As time goes by Iam starting to enjoy an oyster or shrimp loaf more than a poboy because so many places don’t have good poboy bread. Their po -boy is like eating a huge crouton. And the seafood is lost in the bread. And yes I have all my natural teeth since birth.

So what do y’all think about this issue?
And who has the best oyster loaf or soft oyster poboy in Lafayette area?

Kudos Jeff Landry

“ LA DOGE will achieve $999.5 million in annual cost savings of both federal and state tax dollars across 17 state departments, according to a report by Republican Gov. Jeff Landry’s office reviewed by Fox News Digital. The report posits that these savings will be achieved "without any reductions in service."

Of the nearly $1 billion in savings, the report said that $367 million was from Louisiana’s state general fund, $601 million from federal tax dollars and $65 million from other funding sources.
From the state fund, LA DOGE was able to cut $407.6 million in spending by improving the governmental workforce and service inefficiencies amongst state staff. An additional $206.4 million was cut through renegotiated and canceled contracts.

Louisiana was able to cut $285.5 million through Medicaid cuts that included improved eligibility determination processes to remove ineligible recipients and the implementation of an optimized process of monthly checks of residency of Medicaid members by utilizing data from the Office of Motor Vehicles. An additional $14.9 million was cut in similar eligibility determination improvements for SNAP beneficiaries.
An official in the governor’s office emphasized to Fox News Digital that the state has been able to do all these cuts while simultaneously improving the state’s services to citizens.  ”

And why not just register as unaffiliated?

“ President Trump’s policies are working to make Americans’ Thanksgiving more affordable this year, from their commute to the dinner table,” Leavitt said, touting falling gas prices.

“Nearly 100 million Americans are expected to drive next week to spend time with loved ones for the holiday, and thanks to President Trump’s drill baby drill agenda, the national average price of a gallon of gas on Thanksgiving Day is projected to be at the cheapest price since the COVID pandemic in 2021,” she said.

Notably, gas prices reached an all-time record high with an average of $5.016 for regular unleaded on June 14, 2022, during former President Joe Biden’s term. As of Monday, the national average sat at $3.069.

Leavitt also cited data from the American Farm Bureau Federation’s annual survey, stating that, “Cooking Thanksgiving dinner will also cost less this year than it did last year, and is down about five percent overall.”
