The second dumbest thing he could do is run against Vance in 2028.

You think Vance is that good?
Whoever the people in this post favor, I'm voting for someone else.

We’ve got Mean Girls at the Pentagon, and we now know admirals and generals are signaling that the Army, the Navy, the Marines, they are overextended, they are overexerted, they’re demoralized, and the Navy in particular, only a quarter of the fleet is really able to be deployed competently. That’s civilian mismanagement.

Why did it get so much worse after Biden? Oh, they didn't do squat under Biden or the autopen.

Paxton will either win or lose. I'm voting for him. If he loses, he was not the best candidate. Keep that under consideration as you choose your future candidates.

Buc-ee's is mid, the cult following is very strange IMHO.


When I was returning from a flight into Dallas Love, I stopped at that Buc-ee's in Terrell. It was packed. I guess with "middling" people. I filled up with gas (peed), bought some pecans and a soft drink and left satisfied. What is your go to high quality on the road stop? There are no longer Stuckey's out there.

They're not a threat to the United States. What kind of idiot thinks they were? Our own intelligence doesn't say anything about them being a credible threat.


Well, I don't believe that.

Louisiana should be proud. Two weeks ago Grimes Country Texas got a 100 million square foot AI/microchip plant construction started. Louisiana or Musk one upped that for La.

Somebody needs to get the mosquito extermination contract.

Do we or do we not believe in anthropogenic warming of the planet? When I grew up in South Louisiana back in the day, it rained most every summer afternoon.
I thought the youths of today didn't do that stuff.

While I'm in no way defending Swalwell, I really hate that we've given the Feds the power to seize your cellphone at an airport and effectively leave you stranded somewhere.


Well you can then count on the good will of your fellow man to get you out of a fix. It will be a little humbling.

Not just 10day on weather.com. I'm talking about some basement dweller weather nerd predictions on when we will catch a break soon.

Lemme see if I can get a YouTube weather expert to opine on that.

U.S. crude oil production has been breaking records, reaching 13.714 million barrels daily in May

And how much more do we import?


Answer? About seven million barrels per day. we are pretty oil thirsty.
I've tried but my attempt to unlock didn't work. Nobody saw me and I just walked another 30 feet down the line and got in mine.
