His house on the lake is bigger than the Governor's mansion. Just go to Google maps satellite view and look north of Delhi, across the road from the Poverty Point Reservoir Park entrance. He had a private lake access dug.

Over his 50-year career spanning both the House and the Senate, Thompson has been highly successful at securing millions of dollars in state funding for localized projects in Northeast Louisiana. Accusers frequently reference local reservoirs, infrastructure projects, or economic initiatives he championed as his personal "grift lakes" or vanity projects. Critics argue these projects primarily benefit specific land developers or are used as political leverage to guarantee his re-election rather than serving a broad public good.
The Good Shepherd Head Start Program Auudit: In terms of official oversight, Thompson's name was tangentially tied to controversy in 1997 when the Louisiana Legislative Auditor investigated double-billing practices at the Good Shepherd Head Start Program in his region. While the audit exposed double dipping regarding federal and state child care grant funding, it did not culminate in criminal corruption or "grift" charges against Thompson himself.

Look into who benefited when they built the Poverty Point reservoir lake. NE La politicians are just as scummy as the New Orleans levee board crooks and Sewage and Water Board hustlers.
Jesus is the only way. Past or future, Earth or Alpha Centauri, He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. Adam and all humanity along with any and all life in the universe with free will only approach God and His Kingdom through Jesus alone. Not just belief in him but belief on him. Satan believes in his existence and what happened during his incarnation. Remember when he came to temp him. He just doesn't depend on Jesus for his righteousness or His right to exist in God's Holy presence. He doesn't think he needs to and would not accept mercy if he did. He is perfection without mercy. When you commit the unforgivable sin and reject the Holy Spirit, you are standing with Satan.
Here is the reveal.
Everyone is saved, and "once saved always saved", but you have to surrender to it, and everyone can refuse it, or even fall away once they claim it, if there is no true surrender to it.
We don't know what chapter our Earth History falls in the timeline of the universe. After this life, we may be the missionaries sent to other galaxies. It could be that they already know about Jesus and His sacrifice here on Earth, or maybe He incarnated in their worlds also, redeeming them also. We may be the latest to join the Kingdom of God or the first. They also may all be creations like the angels, outside salvation, the point being, we don't know now, but one day we will.

The unspoken part after " should not be able to" is "but they can, and I know it because I did it, but now they are doing it and I don't like it.".
In understanding Scripture, the context is everything. If new truths revealed cause pre understanding to become reunderstanding then God's will is accomplished.
Believe/belief in the Hebrew and Greek refers to " rely on, or depend on" not to think it is true" or "to know it is true". Satan and his angels chose Their own Perfection and Legalism over Holiness filled with Mercy. that is why he is "The Accuser" and is forever separated from God.
Aliens/watchers/angels/ powers and principalities, the correct term doesn't matter. Relying on Christ to shepherd me through whatever comes is my religion.

1. Thou shalt not eyeball. (Side eye, glare, challenge stare, etc.)
2. Thou shalt not frick up. ( Be capable, be an operator in all situations. Otherwise get outta the way, preferably inside with the girls.)
3. Thou shalt find something to do. (Video games, books, tv, or anything other than physical labor are for periods of inclement weather so severe your life is endangered if you go outside.)
Violation of any of these could escalate into anything from a lengthy lecture, a belt thrashing, or a challenge of manhood requiring his defeat in hand to hand combat. If victorious (Never happened, he was 6'3"" 280 and plowboy strong) these rules would still apply to me but I would now be empowered to require them of others as well.

The officer has a duty to not get out of the way until deadly force is used against him. Then his duty changes to stopping the individual that has chosen to use deadly force from harming himself and other officers as well as bystanders. What if he did jump out of the way and the driver then drove through a crowd attempting to escape. The driver chose the outcome.
He didn't shoot to protect himself. His position was intentional. He had put his life on the line, knowing that he could be run over but that he might be able to stop her. That is what he is trained to do. He reacted when she escalated by weaponizing her vehicle. He shot her in order to prevent her from harming others. His survival is a priority but protecting innocent bystanders and other law enforcement personnel is the primary goal.

Also prevented a possible mass casualty event from occuring as she fled the scene. When someone starts attempting to flee in a vehicle and they are disregarding the surrounding pedestrians whether law enforcement or the public, that officer has the duty to stop that vehicle. If he had not shot and she had killed or injured others it would be because he did not do what was necessary in that moment.
An idea for replacing the current Bowl season.

? THE PITCH: A Regional NIT + CFP Top-12 Showcase
A postseason system that creates four champions, strengthens regional identity, and delivers four blockbuster Week-1 games the following season.
---
?? 1. A 64-Team, Regionally Rooted NIT
We expand the postseason with a 64-team tournament, divided into:
- East Region
- South Region
- Midwest Region
- West Region
Each region crowns one champion — no national NIT champion, just four regional titles that matter locally and drive fan engagement.
This structure:
- Keeps travel reasonable
- Preserves rivalries
- Creates four distinct storylines
- Gives 60+ programs meaningful postseason football and utilizes the current bowls.
---
?? 2. Clean, Fair Bracket Design
Each region has:
- 16 teams
- Seeds 1 & 2 get a bye to the Regional Semifinals
- Everyone else fights through a clear, single-elimination path
- All games played only on Saturdays and Sundays. First round higher seed hosts.
- All regions play the same round on the same weekend
This creates:
- A predictable, TV-friendly rhythm
- A true “regional playoff” feel
- High stakes every weekend
---
?? 3. Four Regional Champions = Four Golden Tickets
Instead of one NIT champion, we crown four: Contenders
- East Champion
- South Champion
- Midwest Champion
- West Champion
These champions don’t just get a trophy — they earn something bigger:
---
? 4. The Reward: A Week-1 Showcase vs CFP Top-12 Teams
Each NIT regional champion earns a season-opening matchup the following year against a CFP Top-12 team, matched regionally:
- East Champion ? plays a CFP East-footprint team
- South Champion ? plays a CFP South-footprint team
- Midwest Champion ? plays a CFP Midwest-footprint team
- West Champion ? plays a CFP West-footprint team
These games are held in major regional NFL stadiums, creating four massive kickoff events.
This delivers:
- Guaranteed national TV exposure
- A playoff-level atmosphere in Week 1
- A reward that matters to players, fans, and recruits
- A bridge between the NIT and the CFP ecosystem
---
?? 5. Why This Works
This model:
? Expands meaningful postseason football
More teams, more regions, more fanbases engaged.
? Creates four new revenue-generating events
Each region gets its own championship weekend.
? Produces four blockbuster Week-1 games
NIT champs vs CFP Top-12 powers — a marketer’s dream.
? Strengthens regional identity
Fans care more when the stakes are tied to their region.
? Adds value without disrupting the CFP
The CFP stays untouched — this enhances the ecosystem around it.
---
? THE CORE MESSAGE
This system turns the NIT into a regional playoff, creates four champions, and feeds directly into four nationally televised Week-1 showcase games against CFP Top-12 teams. It adds value to current bowls, increasing excitement, and revenue without changing the CFP itself.

re: "Dynamic pricing" being used in some stores
Posted by DocSavage on 6/14/25 at 10:07 am to Crimson Wraith
This allows them to purchase inventory in bulk at a discount then purchase a small shipment at an artificially elevated price in order to dynamically update pricing based on current replacement cost.
Companies learned this during COVID. Many had reserve stock in warehouses at say $10.00 per unit cost. During Covd the ships were backed up in the harbor and the fines and extra shipping costs were simply added to the price of goods to say $20. That elevated cost was used to calculate the new elevated selling price, including the sale of the reserve stocks that were purchased pre COVID. Prices were then dynamically elevated across the board on all inventory whether in short supply or not, based on these ratios and new algorithms. Then when COVID went away the prices stayed up.
This dynamic model has been around a long time, but this new iteration is using AI to implement it live across all inventory.
Maximizing artificially increasing consumer pricing outside of true supply and demand calculations. They are all doing it so there are no low price leaders to expose the artificial increases.

I think Elon agreed to cutting tax incentives and other subsidies to his companies in the expectation of serious cuts across the board in all branches of government and the industries it subsidizes.
He agreed in principle with Trump's BBB at 30,000 ft above the legislative table.
However, upon landing it became clear that the uniparty had been laughing at him and Trump the whole time and the BBB, while containing many great things, compromises too much in raising the debt and ignoring the continuing pork.
I think Elon expected Trump, after having been shot, to play hard ball, use the veto power and bully pulpit in order to not continue the old ways of back room deals and pork packed bills. He expected Trump to make the DOJ and FBI to deliver justice.
Elon joined the MAGA movement because of Trump's "Fight, Fight, Fight! response to surviving an assassin's bullet. I think he admired Trump's balls and thought it presented an opportunity to change the status quo. That's why he offered his help.
Either Trump is desperate to get his BBB passed and is willing to compromise principles to do it, or is being advised to deal by uniparty plants.
They are all compromised and by dealing with them Trump appears compromised. That's why Elon brought up the Epstein accusations.
Elon expects Trump to hold Congress and the DOJ to the promises made to the American people.
When the Senate passes the bill back to the house and it is sent to Trump to sign, he should red line it from top to bottom requesting the removal of all pork and requiring no increase in the debt.
When the BBB is amended to meet his expectations and also when all the rescissions have been passed, unaltered from doge recommendations, then sign the BBB into law.
Otherwise Veto. Make them override.
Then Congress can own the pork and the Debt and Elon can help finance their exit from Congress.
Something happened, maybe somebody told Elon he was an idiot if he thought that was how it works, or he saw that Trump is in fact compromised.
Maybe he feels Trump is giving in to the political extortion from the very people that tried to kill him.
Maybe in a (possibly drug induced loss of control) he bluntly called it out and became enraged in a meeting. Rumors abound of him fighting with advisors.
Trump is notorious for being anti drug due to his brother and if those rumors are true he probably felt he had no choice but to step in and remove Elon from the administration meetings.
I hope Trump eventually fullfills Elon's and the promises made, and they reconcile for the good of the country.
Otherwise we all will have been completely disappointed by Trump and have no alternative but to fear the future.

re: DOGE needs to audit the Federal Judiciary

They really are the engine that powers the corruption. FAFSA judges, empowering political investigations, all the judges ruling over lawfare, bureaucratic protections bolstered by judges, "classified info" and "sources and methods"protected by judges, election evidence dismissed by judges, political prisoners sentenced by judges, and the list goes on and on. Environmental policy, DEI, Immigration, along with every other situation that is diametrically opposed to the will of the people comes to us from the desks of activist judges on the USAID tit or other some other hidden money pool.
It's always the first play. Any law passed, legal ruling, or EO issued that endangers the corruption engines, automatically triggers someone in the shadows to ask the question; What judge do we control that can issue an injunction? That judge is contacted and the marker is called. They don't have a choice. Their ruling is given to them already prepared. There is no real danger to them, other than their legal reputation. No one investigates the situation. The general public forgets their names, the smoke clears and they eventually retire with generational wealth. They are beloved by family and friends for the lifestyle they provide and the corrupted media makes them heroes.

I feel it in my plums. These Judges that rule to block EOs do so with no concern over any backlash. The only thing that would make these insufferable prick's confident in throwing down these political gauntlets is money, lots and lots of money.
Think Judge Smalls in Caddy Shack with his little boat and his club membership. Money makes his world go round and anyone's opinion of him doesn't matter in that world of multi millionaire luxury and influence.

If we jail them, a liberal judge will just release them, and ICE will have to relocate and apprehend them again. Deport them and close the door behind them.
