I'll admit that some of my reluctance on Erika and her continued role/media involvement pertains to the influencer/online culture she comes out of. I'm definitely biased against it, think it's mostly unhealthy, and I'm sure it plays a role in my questioning of whether this is the best thing for her to be doing (for herself and TPUSA).

A person who has a history of trying to be an influencer and being on reality TV immediately inserting herself into a public facing role in a political organization after her husband's brutal murder should make most neutral people hesitant at best.

TPUSA is getting dragged into stupid podcaster fights and doesn't appear to be thriving to me.

Charlie did simple events on campus's, but since his death TPUSA has been closer to WWE than the video's that got TPUSA famous.

One is in the MAGA inner circle and one just got DJT's endorsement.

Iran just entered the dry season, which lasts until September. This essentially makes an already difficult invasion of Iran impossible, largely because it turns the country's severe logistical, geographical, and environmental challenges into insurmountable obstacles.

Explain it to me like I'm dumb, but wouldn't it being dry make it easier? Would think rain, which means mud, would make it tougher to move through.

The Executive has tried to take more control of legislating from the Legislative branch for at least the last hundred years, and the Legislature has happily ceded that authority over. They don't want to govern, it is easier to play the fighter than the ruler.

Now two big things that could help would be term limits and ending of PAC's. Would allow alternative parties to compete with people who actually want to legislate. But asking the people who would be hurt by those changes to actually do it is impossible.

Those Bidens sure did cash in on Joe, though Hunter still managed to smoke all of his share away.

Two wrongs don’t make a right. And I’m sure it goes back further than just the last two. Obama made millions in his 8 years.

It should be bipartisan to be disgusted by the gross insider trading our elected officials do to enrich themselves in office.

I don’t see the potential is my point. He’s just not a good defensive player. He transitioned from wide receiver and it didn’t take. Terrible instincts, terrible tackling, and terrible coverage skills.

If he can be JT Grey then it’s easily worth the pick in the back half of the 5th. We are in lottery ticket territory.

D.

Closed the border, inflation has slowed some, some USAID and career bureaucrats cleared out, and his work on affordable medicine have been great.

Iran war, greater deficit spending, no legislation passed so everything is a few pen strokes away from being undone, instigating pointless infighting, nothing to help affordability, tariffs are a mess, by botching the Epstein file release he actually made it a bigger deal, and screwing with legal immigration (a negative for me, although I know this board doesn't consider it so).

We are probably better off than if Kamala won, but that is a low bar. Feels more like treading water than swimming

Doesn’t matter. Look at El Salvador. Cartels are way more ruthless and we’re paying of the politicians and army. And they still ended it with overwhelming enforcement of harsh sentences and mass arrests.

---

Bukele basically paid off the leaders to give up all of the low level dudes and gave them absolutely no due process. It’s great that El Salvador has some of its lowest violence ever, but that’s not a replicable process to take.

Jeff and his crew read this board.. that much I promise you. He saw all the stuff we said after the LSU tailgate shootings this football season and they came down hard for the TAM game. He has a chance here to do some good and come down hard on local BR crime. Maybe he will who knows. Knowing him though I am leaning toward doubtful he helps at all.

---

One of the few good things he has done is Troop NOLA. Our damn state capital with the flagship university should be the safest city in the state. I hate exploiting tragedies for political gain, but if this could be the damn wake up call to get BR crime under control then at least it’ll be one bright thing to come from the darkness.

I had to do a double take to make sure it wasn't.
