Someone needs to check on Mr. Rybar. He's MIA

I failed to mention that the Russia army used 80's paper maps with no mention of the Red Forest at Chernobyl, where they dug defensive positio. All ended up radioactive.

Russia's plan was good on paper.

The vector from Belorussia via a single road through a swamp 40 miles long was stupid. Easy for Ukrainian artillery to be dialed in trapping it

War is the ultimate political act. Support for a strike would not be high if it is during the Olympics.

As far as a crush. If you notice that Meloni treats a lot of people the way she treats Trump in public, a look of respect that is almost a flirtatious look. Only if she likes the other person. She isn't very tall so it is almost always an upwards look.

I've taken everything Tucker has said with a grain of salt for 4 years now. He misrepresents if not outright lies about a lot of things.

Ukraine had tractors!

Russian air power was underwhelming. It was superior but not dominant. Jets had TEMU GPS taped in the cockpit. Then we find that their lack of coms was 3rd world level stuck in the 50's/60's

I think 40% of their enrollment are foreign students. I can say ii was impressed with the tour. Very clean and the facilities for what hes doing were actually nicer than LSUs.My wife graduated from there and she turned out ok lol.

The university has a huge endowment for its size. It once owned WWL and the LSU Dental School and sold them for a nice profit.

A lot of students from Central America are automatically given a full scholarship. Several of my tenants attended Loyola and were good tenants. They were from St. Croix, Minneapolis, NYC, and NJ of those who went to Loyola.

BTW, a basement apartment is ground floor and likely used to be an open space under a home. They vary from 6 to 7 feet ceiling height..Homeowners converted those to rentals for students. Some are furnished some are not. The homes were built in the late 20s and perceived floodwater from annual Mississippi River flooding from past floods

Calhoun St has lots of Puerto Ricans who attend Loyola all within easy walking distance. My wife had inherited apartments nearby. One of our tenants probably had a different Puerto Rican gal each night. He was from St. Croix. He won a number of collegiate journalism awards He was no lefty. He returned to the Caribbean because he couldn't take the cold weather of New Orleans. :lol:

The steel is being manufactured here, though. That's what both the Trump Administration and the Landry Administration, for Louisiana, are wanting to accomplish, no?

Maybe not all of it.

I recently found out from an EPC firm which specializes in propane tank installation at power plant up north, that there is no tariff on propane tanks made in Mexico because they use steel made in the USA. Almost all propane tanks 1,250 gal and above are made in Mexico and imported via Eagle Pass, TX. The company is Triarctank, HQ in Dallas, formerly a division of Trinity Industries.

I know they came when we had lax immigration

We asked for immigration from Europe. Almost as many who arrived were sent back as were allowed to stay.

How old are you? Do they still teach history in school?

Dafuq? Coastal Orange County is one of the most conservative areas in the whole country.

I lived in Seal Beach back then, most everyone I knew lived in Huntington Beach. They were all about Save the Whales mentality except one whose family had been there for 5 generations. They got rid of city workers for streets and infrastructure to hire contractors with illegals as labor to save money. The area was beginning to be overrun but urbanites from back east by already. They don't even elect libertarian minded Republicans any longer.
