Apparently their parents didn’t do shite but push out some fine women. The article just mentions their grandparents on both sides. Kind of weird.

I think “white collar” criminals should be treated the same as a guy that robs someone with a gun. But that doesn’t alleviate the responsibility borne by the investors. When they guarantee you 10% year over year, it’s a scam.

Just watched a documentary on Madoff. The guy who blew the whistle said he knew it was a scam FIVE MINUTES INTO looking at the books. But it took him an hour of math to conclusively show the scam. Another clue, not a single major fund invested. They all knew. When the investment is a “secret” or “hasn’t been discovered yet, get in now!” or “I normally wouldn’t take your investment but I will make an exception” its a scam.

There is some truth here. If the stuff I did at Murphys was on cell cam video and social media, the only job I would be able to get would be digging ditches.

I'm all about gun rights, but I really wish they'd ban those worthless Draco AK's. Complete POS gun that a good shooter can't hit shite with, let alone these gangstas. Complete pray and spray firearm scattering 7.62 rifle rounds all over the place.

The only people I ever see with them are street thugs.

There is an old saying... Everything before "BUT" is worthless.

Let's try this: "I'm all about gun rights, but I really wish they'd ban whatever firearms Shexter owns. He says radical things on a fascist website called TigerDroppings and therefore shouldn't own firearms."

See how that sounds? There is a reason the 2nd Amendment says "shall not be infringed".

My father’s mother was a hoarder. I was very young and only met her a couple of times. I was a small child but I remember her living room was so piled with newspapers and magazines that it had little walkways through the room. Everything else was piled head high.

I wonder what the psychology of that is?

Every single time. It is always "multiple shooters".

This always happens. 99% chance it is one shooter. You interview a bunch of people running from the scene.

"Shooter was wearing a black shirt!"

Next person

"Shooter was wearing a dark blue shirt!"

Two shooters!

Actual single shooter was wearing a dark gray shirt.

Also, the sounds of gunshots echo in an urban environment. It was coming from building A! I heard shots at building B! Two shooters! Nope. Echoing gunshots from a single location.

I get the whole "spread the Gospel" thing but these people go to parts of the world where we aren't welcome, get snatched up and then expect our government to spend millions and risk the lives of personnel to come rescue them. Everytime I see a "missionary" get snatched up in Iran or Afghanistan this comes to mind.

Here's an idea, don't go to place where they hate Americans and Christians and then expect a rescue.

In this case it isn't the Christian/American thing as much as him going to a lawless place where they happen to hate white people. Never the less, the point stands. Not to mention he dragged his wife and kids along. They are all lucky to be alive.

This is some good stuff right here. I would have trouble keeping a straight face if I was the Judge.

The New Orleans Saints' logo is still theirs.

The NFL franchise recently faced a lawsuit brought by Michel J. Messier, a self-proclaimed member of French royalty that said he and his family own rights to the Saints' logo design.

---

quote:

---

Messier claimed he is a "direct descendant of the Kings of France (Scotland, Aragon and Castille)." That branch of royalty, according to him, owns the rights to the fleur-de-lis design used with the Saints logo.

He lost the case in the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board at the Federal Circuit.

Chief Judge Kimberly A. Moore, Judge Sharon Prost and Judge Leonard P. Stark explained Messier lacked enough of an argument in the case to present an appeal, so the case was dismissed.

The Saints' current logo has remained the same since their NFL inception in 1967. New Orleans received its trademark registration for the logo from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in 1974. New Orleans was allowed to use the fleur-de-lis like design for the logo for "entertainment services in the form of professional football games and exhibition."

Once again, LaToya caught with her hand in the cookie jar and NOTHING WILL HAPPEN. You kind of have to respect the Teflon Suit she is wearing.

New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell leaned on Police Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick in an attempt to help a controversial lieutenant’s shot at a promotion last fall, actions the Civil Service Commission in a new ruling called an “improper” violation of city policies.

Kirkpatrick initially complied with Cantrell’s interference on Lt. Sabrina Richardson’s behalf, civil service records show, with the chief telling officers, “Mayor Cantrell was the boss and she was going to do what her boss wanted,” civil service commissioners said.

---

The Chief (Kirkpatrick) went before the Federal Consent Decree and Civil Service Board's and TESTIFIED that Cantrell leaned on her. Ballsy move. I know a lot of people on the OT don't care for Kirkpatrick but I gotta respect her being honest.

quote:

---

NOPD released a separate statement noting that Kirkpatrick “consistently prioritized integrity and adherence to process, and the department will continue to uphold these standards moving forward.”

Kirkpatrick took office in November 2023 amid speculation that Cantrell denied NOPD’s then-interim chief Michelle Woodfork the permanent job because Woodfork upheld misconduct allegations against now-retired officer Jeffrey Vappie, Cantrell's former bodyguard and alleged paramour.

In later interfering with the department’s promotions last fall, police officers’ groups accused Cantrell of other political retaliation. They alleged she was trying to sideline two officers up for promotion to the rank of major because those officers had also signed off on the internal findings against Vappie.

More details at the link. In essence, Cantrell said "frick the test results and review boards, promote who I say."

The Chinese are masters of media manipulation. I would want to see one of these in person, for sale and avaiable to take home before I believe it's a real thing.

The dude selling it in that video seems like someone who would take money from our enemies. I don't believe him or the car.
