They’ve been without much internet for what, like a month?

Many report that now they can watch international news channels (such as Iran International).

Sure. Sure. Maybe that’s where the women are going first. :lol:

Well that’s not good at all.

I don't know what discussions were had behind closed doors as to his role, but Vance needs to simmer down and remember his place. He serves at the leisure of the president and unless he's given specific authority otherwise, his role is to operate as a ceremonial extension of exactly what the president wants.


VP doesn’t serve at anybody’s leisure except Congress especially if that president isn’t up for reelection. And a major part of their role is to advise the president. The amount they support the president’s policies is completely up to them.

receiving national negativity

Negativity is one thing. Some of the stuff coming from sportswriters is downright insulting. Not just about LSU either. The fans, the state, our culture. I certainly don’t take it personally but I’m trying to understand why they seem to be. Football is one thing. But we aren’t even a blip on the national map in basketball right now. We better keep things clean as possible because there’s a magnifying glass on LSU sports and a bunch of angry people ready to tear it down.



I’d love to know what he’s up to.

Or better. No matter how things end up with Iran, Trump & Co have work to do on the homefront. A perfect outcome there and even throw in Cuba won’t be enough on its own. It’s going to be all about the pocketbooks and just getting things heading in the right direction could do it. Be nice if he had some help getting there.

That’s a hell of a deal imo. He just wanted to come home

Add Schroyer’s salary and benefits to Wade’s and that’s a truer amount.


I don’t think the fines are that high though if anything. They just want to be able to up your assessment. They look for new concrete pours too.

Agree with this but you also need the attractant for mosquitoes.

As for Thermacell - the pads aren’t too expensive. You can re-use them if you buy the chemical and some dye. You can also buy butane and refill the cartridges. Lots of instructions online.

I switched to the battery model that’s rechargeable along with the repellent refills. This works best I find. Now these are expensive over time. I bought the chemicals last year to do my own refills on those but haven’t tried it yet. If you buy the refills at the end of the season you can get a pretty good deal in bulk.

Also spray your yard or have mosquito control come do it.

The mines story is obviously bullshite since some tankers are in fact being able to go through the strait with irans approval.

They use an alternate route that’s been approved by Iran.

Left is traditional route. Right is alternate.

Will Wade met with NC State officials Wednesday evening as they made their pitch to keep the coach in Raleigh, source confirms.

The sides did not immediately agree on terms for Wade to remain at NC State, making a return to LSU feel imminent.

LSU would be willing to negotiate a settlement of Wade‘s buyout with NC State to avoid this lingering another week when the buyout drops by $2 million.

As of Thursday morning, Wade has not signed a formal agreement to return to LSU. That could happen as soon as today, source confirms.

As we previously reported, Heath Shroyer joining the LSU administration is a non-negotiable condition of Wade’s return. Expect that announcement before a formal announcement regarding Wade.

LSU would also have to formally announce Matt McMahon‘s firing before announcing Wade. McMahon has not yet been informed that he won’t be retained. As we reported Wednesday, should a deal with Wade not be completed, McMahon would return for a fifth season.

The number of U.S. military personnel wounded in Operation Epic Fury continues to rise as the campaign against Iran approaches its fourth week. As of Tuesday, 290 American service members have been wounded in the war, according to Navy Capt. Tim Hawkins, U.S. Central Command’s spokesperson. Hawkins told DefenseScoop that 255 of those injured troops — or about 88% — have returned to duty so far, while 10 remain seriously wounded.


290 sounds high but you have to realize 255 of those are already back on duty. Wounded was around 200 a couple weeks ago so by stating the number of injured continues to rise is disingenuous.

The 10 that remain seriously injured were like from the first week.
The Iranian’s are big time bluffing right now about their remaining military power. My fear is we will only find out at a much later date just how weak they are right now and see the missed opportunity. Time is on their side though.
