re: Hunter Biden Pleads Poverty to Avoid Paying $17 Million Legal Bill

One word: TRUST.
The question he should answer is: “Are you the beneficiary of any Trust?
Wealthy families hold their assets in Trusts, not as individuals.

There is some solid advice in this thread.
I would echo the early advice of take your time and don’t sign anything that you don’t understand.
There are various types of trusts.
I have set up both revocable and non revocable trusts trusts for our family (along with wills for assets not held in trusts) and they serve different goals. They are also treated differently for tax purposes.
Here is something that i think is invaluable to not only making sure that you understand what you are signing, but just as important, to those left behind after you pass:
Have the attorney draw up a FLOW DIAGRAM flow of your assets when you die. Have them label grantors, trustees, beneficiaries, tax IDs, etc on each trust. Make it visual.
Irrevocable trusts are exactly that … irrevocable. So don’t rush until you fully understand, agree with, and can explain to others exactly what the Trust accomplishes and how your assets will flow once you pass )or even during your life).

re: The reality about the price of oil - Facts
Posted by Cajun Cricket on 7/16/26 at 6:35 pm to Skippy1013
Even with crude at $80/bbl … the price today is less than $2/gal and roughly equal to that of bottled spring water.
The media and sky screamers are more politically motivated than they are truly concerned about the price of oil …
The same reasoning behind the media reporting oil spills in gallons … drama.
If someone is concerned about the cost to fill their gas tank, they should focus on the % of that which goes to state and federal taxes.

Thank you.

Terrebonne Parish Lodging?
Posted by Cajun Cricket on 7/2/26 at 8:16 am
I am taking my FIL and BIL marsh fishing in November. I am looking for a nice rental with water access in Terrebonne parish.
I have seen a few on VRBO but I am leaning towards staying at CoCo Marina for simple ease.
Am I missing a good rental out there that is not on VRBO or a place like the rentals at CoCo?
I used to own a camp at Fisherman’s Retreat so I know the water around there fairly well … so something in or near Terrebonne is my goal.
My FIL is 78.
I appreciate any opinions.

TJ Yeldon in 2012 against LSU. I’d take him and just bench him.

re: Who was the MOST fiscally conservative POTUS in your lifetime?
Posted by Cajun Cricket on 5/9/26 at 8:28 am to CrystalPreserves
Define ‘fiscally conservative’.
Because Clinton raised income taxes across the board (30% in his retroactive ‘93 tax hike bs) and increased federal spending (50% in 8 years).
He essentially redistributed wealth from top earners and corporations to government / social programs.
When the government raises taxes and increases spending, I don’t call that fiscally conservative, I call it lazy.

The law was pushed by M.A.D.D. and of course Insurance companies (who fund our politicians).
Biden signed it into law.
This week some republicans tried to include abolishing the law in a new bill. It failed when 57 R’s voted with the D’s.
They claim it’s about public safety and reducing impaired drivers.
There are roughly 300 million cars on US roads.
There are roughly 40,000 fatalities per year, of which 13,000 or so are from impaired drivers.
Let’s don’t address the problem by raising and enforcing laws targeting impaired drivers (permanently suspending licenses after 2nd DUI as an example) …. Instead let’s mandate that all new cars be equipped with interior smart cameras that will police everyone.
Our government needs to focus on burdening the perpetrators rather than grouping all of society into the same bucket.
We are too soft on crime and this is an example of politicians talking about how much they care when someone dies …. but in reality we don’t want to call out those who commit the crime … they would rather treat everyone the same … and get their campaign funded by those benefiting from our actions.

When the Repair Cost + the Diminished Value Cost is greater than the Replacement Value minus the Salvage Value.
re: What price do you think should be asked for this 4Runner? Thanks

Depends on Trim. $18k for 2wd up to $25k for 4WD/TRD. Just my guess with a quick look.

re: Have You Noticed Changes to the Student Body on LSU’s Campus?
Posted by Cajun Cricket on 2/1/26 at 10:27 am to Joshjrn
The reality is that your graph shows a racial change in the makeup of a growing student body.
But schools should be about academics and not demographics …. So any standardized testing data over this same period?

Franklin, TN is a very nice area to live. Conservative, at least for now. Middle Tennessee has milder seasons compared to the north. Spring storms will get your attention, but overall it’s a nice area.
