re: Napoleon

If you want to know more about Napoleon you need to read Napoleon: A Life by Roberts. It’s lengthy but reads really well. Unlike other biographies Roberts had access to all Napoleon’s personal and official correspondence. After reading it I realized everything I was taught in school about him was mo...
I’m not saying we don’t have issues in the secondary, we definitely do, but Rogers threw for 487 yards this weekend. He only had over 103 against LSU. KJ played great, give credit where credits is due. ...
Oh I have done that a hundred times lol. On multiple devices, I can only get my phone app to work. ...
I’ve tried all the standard tricks that usually fix the issue. Deleted/reinstalled apps on all devices. It’s infuriating because I’ve had no issues all season until now. ...
Is anyone else with Directv having issues streaming SECN+? I’ve had no trouble all season until the mid week game this week. I can’t stream on my TV, Fire Stick, or laptop but it works fine on my phone. Just curious if anyone else is having this problem. ...
While this guy is an obvious moron, in a world with hypersonic missiles the Navy is somewhat obsolete. It’s hard to imagine but I heard from someone I served with that China could take out the entire Pacific Fleet in 30 minutes. A lot of brass get frustrated when they war game a Taiwan situation bec...
I was talking to a pilot from VAW-117 a year or so ago. They had recently come back from deployment during COVID. They did a 10 month deployment, he said when they could port, all they could do was stand on the pier for a few hours and go back aboard. Anyone who has done a aircraft carrier deploymen...
I agree blanket open borders is bad, and I completely understand that a lot of the money filters back to Mexico. I don’t agree that they are taking jobs, most Americans are not going to get up and pick fruit for 12 hours a day. If they did, there would not be the eagerness for immigrant workers to c...
Am I the only one who thinks immigration from Mexico is a good thing. They tend to be rural blue collar people. If the Republicans took an interest in them, I believe they could be a huge boost. As far as assuming mass citizenship is going to help Dems, your assuming a majority of non English sp...
This obsession with Rogan is insane at this point. Everyone wants to put him in a political camp and the show is by in large not a political show. All Joe does is long form interviews with his comedy friends, mma friends and people he finds interesting. It’s obvious he pissed off some powerful p...
He has gotten way out of hand. Which makes me kind of sad because when I was at LSU I worked at the Hibbets across from Traction; he came in often and was always nice to us. I’m really curious who he would have been happy with? Mel Tucker got a raise as soon as the slightest rumor came up. Tomli...
They don’t care about Lincoln Riley because it’s blue blood -> blue blood. They hate Brian Kelly because it’s blue blood -> new blood. No matter how much LSU wins this century we will always be considered a tier 2 program. ...
No jail time for sexual assault. What kind of sick judge gave that sentence. ...
[quote]Kelly basically turned tail and fled, bamboozling all y'all. [/quote] This is such an obvious alt account troll. You guys say y’all a lot in Indiana. GTFOH. ...

He kicked out Al Capone and Frank Costello’s men trying to set up gambling in NO. That’s directly from Lucky Luciano’s biography. So he definitely had some major clout. ...
This is hilarious since a large part of our early political system was derived from the Iroquois. We also celebrate a cultural holiday every November thanking Native Americans for teaching us not to starve in the “New World”. ...
I say the owner has a net loss of $200. Let's say the register had $200 to start. If there was no theft and the owner sold $70 worth of inventory he would have a total of $270 With the robbery (200-100-70+70-30)= $70 -100 for initial theft -70 for loss of groceries +70 for the transacti...

Most Navy folks hate it because the locals don't like/trust them. I was lucky to make a bunch of local friends and kind of down played being in the Navy, I wouldn't lie about but I never brought it up first lol a lot of local girls will not mess with sailors at all. ...

Like any place it has nice areas but the Naval Base dominates the town in general. Rent will probably be cheaper in Norfolk for when you first move there, but once you get settled look into Va beach and stay as far away from Newport News as possible lol. ...

I lived in Norfolk for 3 years, my advice move to Va Beach or Suffolk and drive into Norfolk. ...
