If this election was the result of cheating then they’ve gotten so thorough with it that if everything’s cheating then nothing is.

Taking the points early is almost always the right choice unless you’re just completely outmatched.

He said talking about the B1G puts him to sleep. Also sounds like he’s leaning LSU for his pick.

6 years? Is that the outlook? Yikes.

Iran should be terrified. They are about to get all-time grudge fricked.

Louisiana has 10 constitutional amendments on the November 3, 2026 ballot. Each needs a simple majority to pass.

Here’s a plain-English look at who is most likely to vote yes on each:

Amendment 1: Transfer of disabled veteran property tax exemption?

People who strongly support veterans and their families, especially those who think surviving spouses should not lose a benefit just because they need to move (for example, to downsize or relocate closer to family). Those who see the impact as very small also lean yes.

Amendment 2: Local property tax millage flexibility?

Local government officials, school board supporters, and people who want local leaders to have more tools to manage budgets without being forced into a “use it or lose it” decision on tax rates.

Amendment 3: No post-conviction bail for aggravated crimes against minors?

People focused on protecting children, crime victims’ advocates, and those who believe someone convicted of serious crimes against kids should stay locked up during appeals rather than possibly walking free. “Tough on crime” voters and parents tend to support this.

Amendment 4: Lifetime term limit for governor?

Strong supporters of term limits who want to prevent any governor from building long-term power or returning after a break. People wary of career politicians or specific past governors often back lifetime limits.

Amendment 5: Flexibility in paying state retirement debt?

People who favor administrative flexibility and believe the retirement systems and lawmakers should decide the smartest way to pay down pension debt rather than being locked into a rigid order.

Amendment 6: Optional extra property tax exemption for seniors?

Seniors (or those with aging parents) on fixed incomes who want extra help staying in their homes, and people who support local option tax relief targeted at older residents.

Amendment 7: Public money for lead/hazardous water service lines?

People concerned about lead in drinking water, public health advocates, and residents of older cities (especially New Orleans) where lead service lines are a bigger issue. Those who prioritize infrastructure and health over strict “no public money on private property” rules support it.

Amendment 8: Ban on property expropriation by foreign adversaries?

People concerned about national security, foreign influence, or foreign ownership of land and infrastructure. Those who want stronger protections against adversarial foreign entities acquiring property through government processes lean yes.

Amendment 9: Raise income limit for special assessment freeze?

Middle-income seniors, disabled veterans, and permanently disabled homeowners who currently make too much to qualify for the freeze but still feel squeezed by rising assessments. People who want broader access to this existing protection support it.

Amendment 10: Tax exemptions for rehabilitated blighted property?

People who want to encourage cleanup and redevelopment of abandoned/blighted properties, urban revitalization supporters, developers, and those who see tax incentives as a useful tool to improve neighborhoods and the tax base long-term.

Gotta work on that L.

I haven’t seen many where punctuation was all that’s lacking.

My favorite part.
