re: LSU 11 @ UCF 0 Final - F/7

Looked all weekend for this stat. 4500 LSU fans I'd guess. LSU/ND game on Saturday may have had 6500.

I'm not sure how this tourney could be successful without LSU..
My first thought was a reference to the Monroe Doctrine. She probably thinks the Western Hemisphere doesn't include countries south of the equator. We have no right to bother those countries is her understanding I'm sure. I don't know but that fake Spanish accent was about as cringe as Brian Kelly's dance.
The Dems won't accept a solution. They want to steal votes and it's easy when you can't prove who you are with an ID. Don't over think this for a second.

We spent too much money and effort taking care of these people already.
LSU pardoned him and his number 20 hangs in Tiger Stadium and is retired. I don't get the unforgiveness of some of you. What did Billy Cannon do to hurt you unless you are a closet Ole Miss fan and your opinion sucks.

The pardon was for his living family.
I think given the entirety of the case it was a good move and surely makes the family feel better about the situation. I think Christ would have looked at this in the same way. Billy Cannon is an institution and his entire story is worthy of note. There are excellent lessons to be learned from the story.

Now what really needs to happen is those politicians in MN need to be arrested today. They and a few from CA , Ill, VA, MA, GA, AZ and NY for good measure.
Would Shaq write a check? Don’t want any Temple money.
I think they missed a comma. Nobody making less than $1M is living on the upper east side, The doorman makes more than $200,000.
It’s such a a waste of air time. Can’t we report some really newsworthy stuff? We do have a few things going on.
I sure hope so. My Duramax will love that. Hell of an engine but handicapped by the “rules”. Still gets 25 MPG in my Suburban. Free the Diesel.
I think they consulted with the Bud Lite and Cracker Barrel marketing departments.
How many Lina Marie's are there? We need to prioritize on a few things. We are too scattered as there are so many problems., if one woman over 20 years can steal $400,000 how much is being stolen?

Our tax burden could be slashed by what percent if we just got control of what should be an easily controllable situation.

We have to focus on Fraud and bring back DOGE.

How much can you afford assuming you put down 30?. Bank should fund you given a 30% equity stake. If you need an SBA loan or think you do you can't afford it. You'll spend more time worrying about complying than you will working.

A good CPA will Know who's ready to sell a good business. The banker will confirm the value and you need that lawyer to keep you out of trouble.
It's just about the money right now. Better off waiting a year. Maybe WBB can stop spending so much and football can earn even more. Both good possibilities.

Maybe Shaq and the Temples can raise some basketball money from themselves and donors who love basketball.. The overall fan support for MBB just isn't there. Baseball has the donors and fan support.
I’ll vote for Fleming. Letlow is a nice lady but not ready. Fleming is super conservative and has common sense. Read up on him. Humble beginning. He is older but a young 73 year old.
The stock market. Infrastructure, energy and medical.

You need a lawyer, a CPA and a banker. There are great deals to be had if you are willing to work with these professionals. If you have a technical background stick to a technical type business that may have a niche. I’d only buy a local existing business that maybe you are familiar with the owners. Many guys in their 60-70’s are hanging on as they don’t have a succession plan or the family members can’t handle the business.

I’d only buy if some of the existing employees, say family would be willing to be part owners. Shoot to own 65-70% of the business. If you need to go to an SBA loan I’d stop and figure out another way. The owner will typically finance the purchase over 3-5 years to reduce their tax burden. They’ll finance at prime or less. If you don’t have at least 30-35% of the cash to buy the business don’t buy it. I don’t think you need a broker. The banker, CPA or lawyer will be your source of prospects.
The best deal might be the ability to roll the 529 money into a Roth for your kids (grandkids) when they turn 17 or 18. $7000 last year and $7500 this year. LA hasn’t fixed the amount yet in their system and I’m still waiting to transfer the $7500 to her Roth. I think there is a maximum you can transfer but i think it’s $45,000 over 6-7 years.
I do. The price for gold and silver is an emotional response to the current situation. I think things will normalize. Diversify your investments and more than a 5% investment in gold or silver is not smart especially at these prices. I’d be selling. Buy infrastructure stocks. Caterpillar, energy stocks,.
