re: Louisiana congressional map creating new majority-Black district ruled unconstitutional
Posted by dewster on 5/1/24 at 10:59 am
It was a very stupid map that is based on race.
It makes no sense for parts of Baton Rouge and Shreveport to share a district. Nor does it make sense for Calcasieu and Bossier to share a district or for Hammond and Monroe to share a district. Those areas are not really linked culturally or e...

[quote]Some of the polls asked the question that led people to believe that Medicaid expansion would not cost MS taxpayers a dime. That obviously got more support.
The truth is, after three years, it will cost MS a lot. [/quote]
A lesson learned by Louisiana.
And BTW it did nothing for h...

[quote]Even if that headline were accurate, why is it a big deal now when blacks are all for segregation from white people?[/quote]
Nobody moved anywhere. How is it segregated today when they were not on Thursday?
This is a political headline. Basically written by publicists from Broom’s of...

[quote]This. Parts of St. George, mainly along Coursey Boulevard near Stumberg are starting to get a Gardere area vibe.

Most of that will still be city of Baton Rouge. I think Stumberg is the boundary. ...

[quote]SG is not yet in the school business.[/quote]
It may take years, but when this happens, the district will pull a lot of kids (and the funding that goes with them) away from EBRPPS. It's not beyond that school board to vindictively cancel or water down Baton Rouge Magnet High as a respons...

[quote]Mayor Broome needs to show up with her hat in hand. The shoe is pretty squarely on the other foot now.

A big part of this is her fault. And if this turns out to be financially destructive to the city of Baton Rouge, she will go down as the worst mayor in history. She's alread...

[quote]Even the pro St. George papers can't get the facts right. St. George didn't secede from anything.[/quote]
Yeah. Broom’s publicist and even the local papers painted it as an movement to secede back in 2019. It was dishonest and it stuck.
How often do you think the media is wrong or i...

re: James Carville Has a Complete Vulgar Meltdown
Posted by dewster on 4/29/24 at 8:14 pm
His political experience, loyalty, and expertise are outdated by about 30 years. Things have changed and he isn’t grasping it well.
So he’s not as bright as he thinks he is. He just happens to have had a hammer decades ago when the political world was, for a split second, a nail. ...

[quote]I'd be shocked if the consolidated city-parish government makes it another five years.

I could see the government changing especially now that the political power shift is becoming more apparent with St. George.
I can also see city services like BRPD being eliminated and for...

re: WSJ: Wall Street Has Spent Billions Buying Homes. A Crackdown Is Looming.
Posted by dewster on 4/29/24 at 1:27 pm
These institutional buyers are a real threat to the American way of life. But I can't think of a way to combat this that doesn't also hit individuals and smaller companies who are trying to buy or build their own small group of rental homes. ...

Tornadoes are scary if you are in the line of one. They are physically smaller though, but also a little less predictable.
