If anything the criticism should be giving him that nickname after 1 game against Milwaukee to start the season

HD Antenna gives you all the local channels and then some.

I only want cups really. That's all I go for. Like many locally my cupboard is full of Mardi gras cups. I guess at least no one throws snap beads anymore.


I agree those are also of value. I like letting my kids have a bit of freedom to kind of run around with their friends for throws. Imo that’s MG from my childhood. Honestly they also seem to enjoy that and aren’t fans of being restrained to a boxed in area.

Agents hired before the bill will not get paid and operations will be shut down if the government shuts down.


Is it confirmed that operations will be shut down? Depending on how the federal agents are classified, they may still be required to work even if they are not paid until the shutdown is resolved.

Metairie parades are great if you want to catch recycled beads and see rental floats built for other Krews


I’m sorry are recycled beads and trinkets worth a lot less than new bought beads and trinkets?
This is why we go to Metairie parades. Follow parade tracker app. Leave house about 1/2 hr before the parade will arrive where we plan to view it. Drive a few mins and park a few blocks away. Watch parade and kids catch plenty of stuff. Mad Hatters parade actually throws toothbrushes and toothpaste which is great. Leave when parade is over and be home in less than 15 minutes with a years supply of dental hygiene products.
I think the language barrier ended up being the biggest deal. I think there is a decent probability that non political people or even left leaning people were turned off by it bc they couldn’t understand what was being conveyed.

Can you point out what particulary is "extreme"? Federal law enforcement agents attempting to enforce federal laws while being targeted by state authorities and violent communist rioters is extreme?


I’ll say it’s being framed as extreme and it’s probably more extreme response than an administration has ever done but not by much (media framing it as extreme doesn’t help) but to my understanding it is still totally within legal authority. Imo it is not as extreme as what previous admin did. I also believe what previous administration did was unlawful (at a minimum doing nothing was unlawful).
Let’s be honest, Biden administration did nothing to stop illegal immigration (I don’t think that point can even be argued) and probably was actively encouraging it to potentially increase their political power via demographic changes to help affect congressional seats and add voters if they could figure out how to get them on the voter rolls.

Trump administration clearly stopped illegal immigration which was pretty easy to do if an administration actually tried to do it. Now they are at the point of removing all the people that the Biden administration just let in (or encouraged to come in). Do I think Biden was recruiting many of the bad players that came along? Not necessarily but I also think the central/South America countries saw the opportunity and really weren’t worried that those undesirables left their country.

Is countering an extreme with an extreme the right philosophy? I don’t know how else you respond. The optics were always going to be bad for the Rs bc they had to be the bad guy parents telling their kids no after grandma/grandpa gave the kids candy and unlimited TV while they were at their house.
I wish he would have said something about natural immunity. Imo that is still the biggest overreach saying the vaccine was better than NI.

I remember reading that the vaccine was better bc we don’t know how good NI will be bc we don’t have enough data.
The weather in the 2nd Half of Broncos/Pats is the ultimate equalizer. The game was going to be decided by the ground game and field position. Peak Tom Brady with peak Randy Moss wasn’t going to do much in those conditions.

If there ever was a time Tim Tebow/Taysom Hill to shine other than as a change of pace then I would have been the second half of this game.

Or just close since they have extra days built in anyway rather than overcomplicating it.


Are they giving refunds for the days? Like I said earlier school is also childcare for many 2 income families especially in grammar school.
quote:

Weather channel says it’ll get down to 28. Takes one patch of black ice skidded on by the wrong person for it to become a game of “why didn’t they call school off.” The times we live in.


Or just give parents the option and say absences will be excused. School (especially grammar school) is 50% schooling and 50% day care bc the majority of families are 2 income households.

It’s actually kind of ironic bc when there was a higher % of households of single income families, the schools seemed to never close.
They could’ve just done a late start and assess in the morning again. Very likely everything will be fine so crazy to kill a full day of school.
Good QB on a rookie deal is the secret sauce in the NFL.

There is absolutely nothing aggressive about that call Tony It’s a straight run with the QB


Exactly. It was a great call but hardly aggressive. It was a designed run. If it wasn’t there, then Maye just falls down in bounds.
At LSU in the late 90s/early 00s, I played against the top LSU women’s basketball players at the rec center (this was pre- Semoine and Sylvia) and i was as good as they were. It never really got to this bc it’s just rec center ball but if I would’ve really got physical on either side of the ball then there would’ve been nothing they could have done to stop me and I saying that as a person just under 6’ that in my prime could barely dunk on a 10’ if all the stars aligned :lol: For more context, I sat the bench for a 5A basketball team.

Their handles and technique were very good however they simply couldn’t run/jump/push with the men on the court. Simply put they were just overpowered.
