The council released a statement saying the letter is a fake. Some are speculating it could be a "trial run" to see how people would respond.

Would be interesting to see if the letter is fake but the asylum centers on the way are in fact real. If so, then I'd be inclined to believe the trial balloon theory.

Maybe w Elon building in the marsh we will get some coastal restoration. Not sure how much dirt will have to be moved to create a solid base for his operations, but my understanding is that most of that area is gooey marsh.

It may end up being a huge ecological win in addition to the business impact.

The site was an area that was owned by Exxon Mobile, and it was eventually handed over to the state after lengthy litigation over pollution and wetlands destruction going back to the 1950s. Interesting story. Give it a google.

According the SpaceX, most of the 130k+ acres will simply be buffer zone. (Think: The Stennis Buffer Zone along I-10 in south MS. Just miles and miles of swamp and woods.) A relatively small amount will be converted into building and launch pads. They have committed to continuing on with the wetlands restoration work.

So yeah, I'd say it's a big win. Some dudes will probably end up losing some awesome duck leases, and that will suck for them. My condolences on that. I'd be pissed, too.

No. I've seen a few good looking ones. But just like Scandinavia, the reputation far exceeds the reality. When you see a great looking one, she is really great looking, but most of them are 50 yarders.

Huh. Thanks for ground-truthing that. I've still never been anywhere that could hold a candle to the Quad at LSU in the 90s.

I don't understand why this person still lives in Portland. What the hell was she expecting?

In areas where the leftist brain rot has sunken in this deep, it is madness for a normal person to try and enjoy a decent life there.

The intolerance of the American left is something special. If you simply disagree with them in a civil manner, they hate you and will do everything they can to ruin your life. Do they actually think it's better for a child if their parent has to miss their 5th grade graduation? Bunch of sickos.

Best pick up and move. Hell, there are plenty of centrist and conservative areas in central and eastern Oregon...so she wouldn't even have to move to another state.

Yikes. Thankfully, a junior Senator from Michigan can't do squat, even if elected, but crazy that this is being viewed as a new, mainline idea for dems.

From Claude, for anyone else with a notional understanding of this:

Bottom line: the Treasury is using an existing, routine tool (debt buybacks) at an unusually large scale to counter a rapid, disruptive rise in long-term borrowing costs. It worked immediately to pull yields down and calm markets, but most independent analysts frame it as a short-term stabilizer — it doesn't address the deeper drivers (inflation expectations, energy prices, heavy debt issuance, competition from AI-related corporate borrowing) that pushed yields to multi-decade highs in the first place. Worth watching for updates at the November 4 Quarterly Refunding, when Treasury says it'll clarify whether this becomes a more permanent policy shift.

"Y'all can't be doing dat 'round Kennah-bruh."

Such courageous reporting Jake, 4 years after you knew that the country was being run by an unelected cabal. Hack.

I just don't get how anyone who's not a commie-koolaid drinking democrat - I mean a normal person who's not in their cult - can ever vote for a democrat again.

Just think of the betrayal. They said over and over again that Biden was fit for office. They gaslit anyone who dared challenged the narrative. And they illegally led the most powerful country on the planet with a coup of unelected bureaucrats.

What kind of idiot would ever trust them again?

Part of me thinks LSU walks in there and just destroys them the same way Saban teams used to crush dreams.

I think it will be a dog fight that we win close. OM still has one of the best QB+RB1 tandems in the nation, and Golding will field a good D.

And we still have a brand new offense top to bottom. I think it will be a hell of a game that the Tigahs will by 7.

Missouri is an odd state. Has a create foundational mindset, but at the same time they have made some decisions lately that can destroy the state. It could eventually turn into a lefty Illinois like state.

I lived in Missouri for a while, and I enjoyed my time there. What I learned is that there are two states: Missouri, and.Missoura.

This is an example of Missouri messing with Missoura. Missouri includes St. Louis, KC, and Colombia, and they are increasingly lost to the left.

Missoura includes the boot heel, Ozarks, and huge agricultural areas in the rest of the state. There are a lot of damn good people who live there, lots of farmers, liberty-minded people, and other good folks.

The problem is that Missouri controls all those state agencies, and one gets the impression that they take great pleasure in crapping on Missoura.

Farming is hard. Bureaucrats should get the hell out of the way and help farmers rather than constantly harassing and threatening them. That’s the official policy in my state, and in my experience so far, that’s been true.
