Caleb Williams

Of these Williams is far and away the best followed by Trosclair, who was the best pole vaulter the state ever produced prior to Mondo.

Myles and Andrews were decent players, but Trosclair and Williams were both All-Americans.

Landry responded by closing "Unity Field" (which I didn't even know existed until last season) and beefing up security.


We have tailgated across the street from "Unity Field" for 15 plus years. I can say with certainty it was never a thing before 2025.

This can’t be true


The ads on instagram say that the tour bus operator in Richland parish had to triple his workforce and the fancy latte place is opening 2 new locations


It was 500 before the announced expansion of the project now I think it is 900, but that is 900 jobs for a nearly $8 billion sales tax exemption and 2500 acres.

And as data center jobs automate, and they will, there are no requirements to maintain jobs to keep the 20 year sales tax exemption. They just have to have 50 jobs before 2029.
My problem with data centers stems from the place that they are shitty economic development projects.

They bring in huge initial investments, and construction payroll, but few permanent jobs, especially relative to the huge incentive packages laid out for them and their massive footprints. Any other industrial development would produce more long term employment.
My Titan does the same thing, especially on hot days. I have not been able to id a cause or find any useful information on line, but mine has done this for probably 5 years.
She wont do well in primaries. That far left message doesn't track with mid-america democrats. You can see it in the last few primary seasons. The more moderate democrat candidates did the best, except in the northeast and California.

She would likely win some delegates, but she is not a serious contender for the presidency, unless the DNC just decides to install her despite the primary results, as they are known to do.

What does a “moderate” Democrat stand for today? How is it much different from socialism?


You are confusing the politicians with the party members. While the most conservative democrats in government are hard left liberals, a large section of the party members are left of center to centrists.

But, the fact that she is a viable presidential candidate is concerning.


lol. No she isn't. The pols may have marched off the lunatic fringe, but the base of the party is still moderate. It is why the moderate midwestern Dems supported Trump in 2 of the last 3 elections, and have fatly rejected progressive candidates in the primaries.

Not a chance. No progressive/socialist would even be competitive for the nomination if the Democrats didnt try to stack their primaries to build progressive momentum.

Middle America will not support far left candidates. It is why the Democrats had to run Biden in 20. Nobody left of him had a shot. It is why they tried to prop up Biden in 24. As terrible as he had been, his relatively moderate stance gave them a chance.

The Democrats seem hell bent on fracturing their party to placate the Communists/Socialists/Progressives. They will not win a candidate from the far left anytime soon.
I have enjoyed this season in the sense of what a complete cluster it has been. They cannot possibly get this thing to the finish line in the tie they have left unless they even more wildly depart rom the books, and eliminate key events.

re: First Jonah Hill, now Zuckerberg....

The difference is Zuckerberg is pretty good. I've seen him string together some pretty nice things in white belt coemption matches. I saw him transition from a failed triangle to an omoplatta for a win. His opponent tried to roll out of the omoplatta, but Zuck had blocked the roll, and the guy had to tap. Pretty impressive when a white belt can go to plan B like that.

They aren’t secret for long once there is a meeting. All it really is keeping who is buying and investing until a deal is in place. So if tax payers pay attention there would be a parish council meeting where they approve these things. Almost no incentive can be given without a public meeting.


This isn't even remotely true. The data center projects are getting hundreds of millions of dollars, in the case of Meta likely tens of billions, in Tax exemptions without any public notice. Only their ITEP exemptions would require any local input, and those would be a relatively small part of the incentives these projects receive. The bulk is sales and use tax exemptions which are finalized before the projects are even public.

I don't want to paint with a broad brush here, but every single contractor in the world is a miserable, incompetent thief.

I voted for Bill Clinton. He was a "centrist" now. Trump is like one dot to the right of Clinton in 1996, and you want him dead.


Trump is left of Bill Clinton on many issues.
quote:

Mahar and Carville are as centrist as you can get. Fetterman hit his head and woke up a republican ya'll can have his arse.


When you are so far on the lunatic fringe you lose site of where the center is. Carville is barely left of Trump, and Mahar is well left of Carville, but both are far right of what is becoming the mainstream of the party. Democrats have been trying to position Trump and MAGA as far right for years, but nobody buys that. Trump is left of center.
quote:


It's gonna cause some Dem centrists to just not vote at all. But this will not sway the fraud voters because they're not real people...but they vote, especially in blue states and swing states.


It is going to split the party. Bill Mahar, James Carville, and Fetterman are already signaling this. The Republican party has the big umbrella in 2026 with left of center populists like Trump to Conservatives. Moderate Dems, and hell even most of the liberals are much closer to Trump than they are to Mamdami and Sanders. The Democrats are going to have a mess in 2028 when the electorate votes for the most moderate candidate they have, and the party pushes some lunatic from the fringe as the nominee.
Can someone give me a cliffs on this. Is the allegation that the kids murdered their friend because they suddenly realized he was black? Is the allegation that he got left behind on purpose to drown when the tide came in? Did they murder him and dump him?

What do the accused say happened? Why didnt the kid who drowned ride home with them from the island? Do any sane people think there was foul play or is this just Crump contrived nonsense?
Hard to imagine it is still even a thing. Is it mostly moms trying to live vicariously through their daughters? Frats still exist?

Not yet, but soon. Advisory/consulting as a whole is going to be decimated.
