Landry is a joke in many ways but this might be the highest. Dude you’re the governor I get it you shouldn’t HATE LSU but this guy acts like he legit went there. He never stepped foot on campus.

Landry could use his position to boost up his Alma mater in Lafayette but that doesn’t suit his agenda so


Make no mistake, he doesn’t like LSU. He’s ULL through and through. But in this state you can’t hate LSU and be in politics so he just pretends in order to further his political career.

The White House on Tuesday denounced Amazon's reported plans to disclose the cost that U.S. tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump were adding to its products, and slammed the retail giant for its past ties to China.


I am actually for them posting the additional tariff amount. It will make it easy to see what charge should be removed when the tariffs adjust. Other companies are just going to increase the price and then when the tariffs are adjuster just back down a little - BAM - the "new" permanent price is now much higher .

It also will show how much garbage we buy form China - even it it has an American sounding company name.

LSU should demand they give back all the money they helped raise for the family


This is really what the lawsuit is about. They want the money - no strings attached. Since it was raised through LSU it has to be spent on verified medical bills & care - which the family won't provide.

quote:

The lawsuit also alleges that LSU used his name, image and likeness and publicly disclosed his medical information without his consent. He also claims LSU has refused to transfer money from a Tiger Athletic Foundation donation fund the school created in his name to him and his family.

It’s a State law that you can have a gun in your vehicle even on private property where you work. Or I think the employer has to provide a safe storage place for it while at work. Naturally the employer chooses the former.


The law is:

quote:

D. This Section shall not apply to:
(3) Any vehicle on property controlled by a public or private employer or business entity if access is restricted or limited through the use of a fence, gate, security station, signage, or other means of restricting or limiting general public access onto the parking area, and if one of the following conditions applies:

(a) The employer or business entity provides facilities for the temporary storage of unloaded firearms.

(b) The employer or business entity provides an alternative parking area reasonably close to the main parking area in which employees and other persons may transport or store firearms in locked, privately-owned motor vehicles.


Amazon parking is definitely behind a locked fence/secure access with signage. The question is whether or not that have another place to park "reasonably close" for people who want to bring their guns.

Based on my simple math, at 39 billion for 7,500 stores, that comes out to about 5.2 million for each location.


That was how many stores corporate owned in the late 80s. It didn’t count the franchises.

7-Eleven now has 80,000 stores in 20 countries.

i remember back in the nineties circle k bought them out.


They only bought about 500 stores from Southland. Southland held on to their other 7,500ish stores (and eventually sold out to a Japanese company). The reason you think they "bought" 7Eleven is because most of those 500 stores were in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and the panhandle of Florida.

Circle K offered to buy 7Eleven last year for $39B and that was turned down.

Eh. You have Central and Zachary as part of EBR so those votes should help.

Bans mass balloon releases


This was on WBRZ today. Apparently releasing balloons is the best way to grieve for a subset of the community. I'm guessing it's right up there with ghost bikes and setting up a shrine on the side of the road on land you don't own.

quote:

Cathy Toliver lost her 3-year-old grandson Devin Page Jr. to gun violence three years ago. She's held balloon releases in his memory but also encourages others to participate.

"Because we know they're no longer here in the natural, but when we release those balloons, it's like we're sending them up to Heaven and reaching our loved ones. Why would someone want to make a bill to stop that?" Toliver said. “So if you're going to say because of the environment, we're living in Hell. We're living in all types of things that are wrong in this universe.”

She said this bill would rip away part of people's grieving process.

"If you pass this bill and say no more balloon releases you are becoming a dictator and that is wrong. You do not dictate to people how they can grieve," Toliver said.

So what happened?


I don't know about the other places, but Alioto's closed during the pandemic and never reopened (officially backing out of the space in 2022).

quote:

According to the San Francisco Business Times, the restaurant was shuttered in March 2020, and never reopened. During that time, it never paid rent on that space, or on its "support warehouse," and its owners have since decided to end its 66-year-lease with the Port of San Francisco a little over 14 years early. (Don't do the math in your head: Alioto's signed the lease in 1970.) It is also ending its lease on its warehouse.

What's annoying is lawyers dropping the word all together and just saying the letter: "Roe vee Wade"


That’s because the v. comes from versum in Latin which is translated to versus in English. Using “v.” was used in England cases well before we were a country and it has been carried over.

Hold out for godfathers in Tillman’s Corner.


We used to hit that Godfathers every time we passed through. It was the closest actual Godfathers (not one of those abomination Godfathers Express) to Baton Rouge/New Orleans. But now they have an actual Godfathers in Kenner - it doesn’t have the buffet like Tillmans corner though.

They are making the most noise in the mornings, from 6am-10am. Quiet at night as far as I can tell.


Almost assuredly a squirrel. Raccoons and Rats move at night. Squirrels early in the morning.

You need to find where there access is and put an extruder over the entry point. It will let them out but they can’t get back in.

Groups that benefited the most were blacks, boys, students who experienced long-term childhood poverty, and students with below-median test scores before leaving public school.


They left out the most important group that benefited the most - kids with parents that actually give a shite.

Almost all the problems with public school kids/education is that the parents just don’t care. The kids have no support or structure at home annd no one that actually holds them accountable to study or be better. And when they don’t have that support of parents caring about their education, then the kids don’t care either.

in a restroom.


I met Bret Michaels in the bathroom. It was just me and him in there and we were talking for a minute. While we were washing our hands Cyndi Lauper walked in to the men’s room because she couldn’t find the women’s. So we all talked for a minute or two. It was probably one of the weirder/random celebrity encounters I have had - just us 3 talking in the men’s bathroom.

Since January 20th I have endured many racial attacks in my court. While on the bench in my courtroom I was called an "immigrant", I have been told I "have no jurisdiction over white people in my county". I had a prospective juror loudly proclaim that she would not follow any orders from a brown or black person and that if the defendant were brown or black they would find them
guilty.


Literally none of this happened.
