re: Fleming posting about Letlow's dead husband?

Why is the fact that she is even in her position because her husband died off limits? Did she not willfully run to take his place when he died? Would she realistically ever be in congress if he had not died?
Fleming isn't making fun of her dead husband or the fact that he died.

Doesn't change her hypocrisy on the issue, in my eyes.

I want to clarify, I don't think men should be allowed to compete in women's sports, but I also don't think the citadel should have been forced to allow women.

I think Mace has been a decent conservative, for the most part, but I always thought that she was out of place with how vocal she was about the whole men in womens spaces thing considering her own history. I alway thought she should probably stay quiet on that issue.

Fun Fact- The cookbook that recipe came from has the forward written by Alton Brown.

I can't cut and paste it, you have to click the Amazon link below to read the forward.

It takes Alton Brown down a notch if you ask me.

Hot take:

Alton Brown is a bit overblown. He created a great cooking show and developed an interesting way to explain basics, but his cooking\recipes were never exceptional.

Oh believe me, I know far too well what those people are like.

Having family and worked at times up there over the last 15+ years the women (AWFLS) despise Trump and all conservatives.

Not dislike.
Not view with annoyance.

Hate on a biblical level.

I heard conservatives called:
-Fascists
-Muggles
-Trash
-Rednecks
-Inbred

And they're so viscerally angry. Just irrational level hatred and disdain for people they view as almost subhuman amplified by the fact that the "trash" had the audacity to vote in a president who at the time seemed to reflect their values instead of playing them like the GOPe politicians they were used to dealing with as pets.

Its really bizarre.

But no, I believe many of them would be fine legitimately if Trump people were sent to camps at this point and the polling during Covid kind of reflected that where a majority of Democrats said outright people who refused to take a vaccine should be sent to a camp and their children should be taken out of their house.

We had some neighbors that moved up there from LA, she was always a bit of a Karen, but it was crazy watching her(Via social media) devolve once they moved up there to an absolute deranged AWFL to the point she left her husband and tuned into an unhinged loon.

re: Voters rejected a 1-cent sales tax in 2023 to give Livingston Parish teachers a raise

Posted by rented mule on 5/18/26 at 11:07 pm to Roy Curado

I do understand what the amendment was, and i agree that paying off debt is good but the devil is in the details and in this case you are eliminating protected, guaranteed funding in favor of promises. What happens if the savings predicted fall short, which analysts admit is a possibility? The amendment didn't condition the raises based on actual savings, it constitutionally guaranteed them regardless of outcome. Just because lawmakers give written guarantees they'll fund any shortfalls doesn't mean they actually will, or that next administrations will either. It just didnt seem like a good bet to me.

Posted by rented mule on 5/18/26 at 9:31 pm to Roy Curado

Voters are sick of more taxes, the recent proposal to fund a raise didnt seem sustainable to me and an unwise decision. Just with any household or business, if you need more money, the first place you should look is where you can save.

Isnt that schedule just the base? I dont believe it takes into account the different step and tiers used to decide principal salaries. Regardless, we're getting in the weeds. The point was that the school system prioritizes teachers low and your ire should be more on them than voters who dont want more taxes.

There's a lot of overpaid bloat in the central office. Maintenance and support are fine but there's only about 15 people in IT and about 30 people in Maintenance.

My wife is a teacher in LP.

Her W-2 last year was $46,000 without the stipends.

Amendment 3 was a chance to permanently give them the stipends without raising taxes.

The people of Louisiana are just stupid. They vote against anything they don't understand (taxes, amendments, etc). Guess what happens when investors (tax payers) don't invest in companies (government)?

Maybe when looking at that W2, your wife should ask why Livingston parish has been able to allocate about 25million dollars to building new sports facilities in the last few years?
Why every school has at least 4 assistant principals, all making 6 figures a year, while rank and file teachers are making half that?
Why the LPPS central office needs 200 employees with most of the higher ranks all related to the same 3 or 4 last names and all making over 6 figures?
