The plan we have now has failed … but it's not the Republican's plan, it's the Dem's plan.
Caveat: The Repubs should put forth a plan.

Moderate Dems … it's not infighting, it's a purge.

Some media reports a split in the Dem party and infighting. A more accurate portrayal is the Far Left will replace most of the 8 who voted to end the shutdown with "leaders who will fight no matter what." Replacing moderate Dems with more Socialist-Dems in Blue States will not be hard.
Moderate Dems are on their way out. The 20 -35 year olds with debt, little chance to purchase a home, a useless college degree and unaffordable healthcare cost under the Affordable Care Act will be energized by the new Left.
The Republican Senate should eliminate the filibuster now (while there is no specific bill on the agenda). Then, vote in the policies they want before Congress leans even more left.
Or, you can wait for the Far Left to have 41 solid votes … or more.

# of murders / total population of Chicago = no problem.
# of murders / population of affected area (south side) = serious problem.
They're watering down the numbers.
I tried to elicit the data for the 2nd equation from Google. The inter webs wouldn't answer my questions.

To say the same thing but only differently: Three down lineman w two linebackers (3-2) is the formula for slowing down QBs that can hurt you with their legs. Make them beat you with the pass while under duress.
All you need is Perkins, Weeks(s) and 3 or 4 shutdown corners :lol: .

Bought the Complete Far Side (Hardcover) for my kids (and me) about 10 years ago. One of my best purchases.
I had (and still have) all the volume books dating back to the mid 1980s. Incredible teaching opportunities for my 4 sons from age 6 - early 20s. To get the jokes you need to know multiple sciences, history and culture. Every couple of years they "got" a joke they hadn't got before.
Today all 4 are happily married with children employed in the field of their choice. Thanks be to Gary Larson :lol: .
Timing is an important element in politics, negotiations and gamesmanship. I understand I'm just spit balling here but what if some of the issues Trump has failed to address in the first six months he does address after the BBB or after the mid-term elections.
Here's a thought: What if blew the whole top off of Epstein during the final six months of his term? Resigns? The whole system implodes and JDV becomes president.
He does use chaos to his advantage.

Covington Beer Garden
Pass. Children and hipster tourists.
Pudge's FTW.
Children? Yes. Young families frequent the place during the day / early evening. Nice place to let the kids run around not bothering anyone and adults can enjoy a beverage(s). Later evening the crowd gets younger and rowdy. They now have to employ a police detail on weekend nights.
Hipster tourists? in Covington? I don't think so.
Pudge - was my first boss. Snowball stand on Jefferson Ave. And if you don't know Pudge … well then you're probably not welcome at the Pub :lol: .

The PBY Catalina was the original stealth bomber.
The hull was built in downtown Covington (now Dependable Glass). Pulleys from the factor are still on the ceiling.
The hulls were loaded on a train on Gibson Street (still downtown) and shipped to New Orleans where the plane was assembled..

I was talking to someone in their mid-20's when I realized I graduated from high school … before her parents were born :dope: .
Age decline isn't linear but more like plateaus followed by drop-offs. For me one drop-off was in my late 40's. I just had another one in the last year or so (66).

Interstate widening is driven by states i.e. State DOTD funding matched by the Feds.
North Carolina has never stopped widening and improving their interstates. They have a very high gasoline tax dedicated for roads.
South Carolina has a very low gasoline tax. Their interstates are falling apart.
Mississippi used Gulf Coast casino money to widen their interstates.
LA has long been and continues to be far behind on funding interstate projects.

Met with Scalise this morning
Posted by Fat Man on 4/24/25 at 1:56 pm
I and few mayors had a meeting with Congressman Scalise this morning. We discussed FEMA, DOGE freezing FEMA funds, potable water infrastructure, sewer infrastructure among other things.
When it came to my turn I thanked him for his help with funding the US Hwy 190 widening in my area, explained Cured-in-Place-Plastic lining of terracotta sewer lines (which he was either very interested in or feigned interest) and how my city received $4.5M from the American Rescue Plan Act (Biden, Covid response), St. Tammany received $50M and New Orleans received $300M … the printing of which contributed largely to the devaluation of the dollar.
I ended on how upset I am about one thing in particular. I am having trouble getting over Tuesday night: Northwestern beating LSU in baseball … he finished my statement by exclaiming "By the Ten Run Rule!" He then spoke for the next dozen minutes knowledgeably about NIL baseball and football. He is very bullish on Nuss and on our Tigers this Fall.
