Absolutely I could do it but I won't. I couldn't leave my family. I can't get my wife to move to Toledo Bend when we retire. I will have a nicer place down there to spend a few months at.
I'm surprised some of these judges and criminals haven't been wacked.
I love milk but can't drink it anymore. I'm allergic to and it makes my blood sugar go up. I can taste the difference between brands.

I wish there was somewhere local to get unpasteurized milk. When I was a kid there was a local man we got milk from. He'd bring it in ice cream gallon pails. I think he had a thing for my grandmother, my dad would always pick on her about it.
I have a lot of them.

A roughneck was operating an airhoist and got his hand caught while guiding the cable on the spool. It rolled him up on the drum.

During a manriding operating they working below the rotary. They didn't have enough cable on the hoist drum and all the cable spooled off sending the roughneck to the bottom of the gulf still attached.

Another manriding operating they went through the mouse hole with the cable. The operator wasn't paying attention and pulled the roughneck through the hole.

A roughneck was caught between a pipe racker and a motor. Crushed him to death. The racker doesn't move very fast they just weren't paying attention.

An electrician was repairing an elevator. He was on top and some how activated the elevator. He was caught in between the top and the cable sheaves.

While I was working in China a local paint crew of over 20 people was inside a tank painting. They found a piece of metal that needed to be removed. A welder went in the tank with them. When he lit his torch the tank flashed and killed them all.

Here's a few papermill one's. A big man climbed inside a tank that had a small opening and was 6ft from the bottom of the tank. The temp was around 150 degrees. He fell out and died. The swoll up so big they had to cut the wall in the tank to get him out.

Two mechanics were working on a winder roll that weighs several 1000 lbs. When they removed a hydraulic line it fell and crushed both of them.

This is probably one of the worst and happen at the west Monroe mill. My friends dad was killed.

After a shut down 6 of the mill guys went into the boiler to inspect before start up. They were closed up inside and the boiler started. Some were still alive when they got them out but their insides had been cooked. They all died.

I forgot to add this one. An engineer was walking through an old machinery area when he tripped, and an anchor bolt went through his skull.
Bobby Knight said he was worried about having to play LSU until he saw Dale Brown sitting on the bench.

I see you've never been to China. I have. It takes 4 Chinese to do the work of one American. And most of the time they fricked up what ever they did.
Every blue collar job in the country is affected negatively foreign countries unfair trade with the US. You don't have to be an economist to see this.

We have been getting screwed for years and it's gotten to the point we're we can't survive going down the same road we've been going down. You could write a book on all the ways China screws us. They are by far the worst in the world.

The morons in this state will vote him back in. Our elections are a direct reflection of our education system.
What did you think was gonna happen. We are 35 trillion in debt, printing money to pay the interests, democrats and Republicans were pocketing billions of tax payer dollars, millions of illegals receiving 1000s a month from the government, 100,000+ government employees drawing a check doing nothing and you think he should have just left it all alone?
I have BMC's and I've never "trained" any of them. If it's in them they'll tree and once you show them that's what you want them to do, they will live for it. My neighbor ask me one time if I was gonna work with a pup to train her to tree. I said nope she'll either get it or she won't, it's bred in her so she'll get it.

You can actually over train them especially a Feist. Once you've showed him what your hunting leave him alone. When you take him in the woods leave him alone except to guide him in the direction you want to hunt. No petting, no encouragement unless he's treeing, just act like you're not there while he's hunting.

If it's in him he'll get it. Needs time in the woods to figure it out. It's pretty amazing to watch their switch come on. You can tell pretty quick if they have it or not.

One other thing, the discipline training and commands need to start ASAP and at home. Don't take them in the woods for this.

You know the many reasons why things happened in his first term.

So now he's trying to fix it and you're against it?

That way they dont notice the economic conditions.


35 trillion in debt

Inflation

Trillions being embezzled by dirty politicians

Millions of illegals stealing entitlements and social security

Billions sent to our enemies

Politicians going from rags to riches

No, we haven't overlooked any of it.
This tariff war has shown just how stupid democrats are. They are so lost their only arguments are, there's not a trade problem, we shouldn't treat allies this way, it's gonna cause prices to go up, blah, blah, blah.

American companies operating in Brazil barely make profits because of the import tariffs of supplys and equipment. But a Brazilian company can operate in the US with no import tariffs. You don't think that's wrong and unfair?

This is typical with most foreign countries.

I think the people that are against tariffs live in a bubble and haven't seen what other countries do to us when it comes to trade.
All these economy experts saying tariffs are going to be bad. Why are they good for other countries that put tariffs on our exports? They've been doing it to us for years and they're doing well.



Today's NBA is a joke. All this talk about how the 80s and 90s players couldn't make in today's NBA yet a sloth put up 61 and is one of the best players in the game.
I saw they were having record turnouts, so maybe the good guys will win.
I'm gonna be honest I don't like this. Our government has worked for over 200 years, and yeah, there are some things that need to be changed, but this ain't one of them.
I don't either but I do like to come here and complain about it.
Oklahoma consistently ranks near the bottom for education quality, often cited as second-worst or 49th out of 50 states, based on metrics like test scores, graduation rates, and funding.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Overall Rankings:
Recent studies, like one by WalletHub, have placed Oklahoma's education system as second-worst in the nation.
Oklahoma is often ranked 49th or 50th in education quality, with only New Mexico performing worse.
The Annie E. Casey Foundation's Kids Count data book ranks Oklahoma 49th in education.
Key Metrics:
Test Scores: Oklahoma scores poorly on standardized tests in reading and math.
Graduation Rates: Oklahoma has a relatively high dropout rate and struggles with on-time graduation.
Funding: The state diverts a relatively small amount of spending to schools compared to other states.
Quality and Safety: Oklahoma scores poorly on metrics related to quality and safety, including student-per-teacher ratio and bullying incidents.
Specific Examples:
Oklahoma ranked 47th in fourth-grade reading and 48th in eighth-grade reading.
For math, fourth graders ranked 44th, and eighth graders ranked 45th.
Oklahoma has one of the highest dropout rates in the nation and some of the lowest reading and math test scores.
Private vs. Public Schools:
Oklahoma is ranked 8th in private school education, suggesting a significant disparity in resources and quality between private and public schools.
This disparity is attributed to the fact that private schools rely on tuition and donations, while public schools depend on state funding, which is historically low in Oklahoma.
