re: Election Day in Louisiana (Letlow, Davis win US Senate Party Primaries, face off in Nov.)

For posters from other states do you have runoff elections for your primaries or just go with highest percentage of votes in the primary election.
Runoff in TX, which is how it should be.
I think the original proposed closed primary bill in Louisiana Legislature was worded where a candidate would win with just a plurality. That’s stupid, and thankfully got changed to needing a majority before it passed both chambers.

re: Another poll (JMC Analytics and Polling) shows John Fleming in lead in US Senate race

what are the chances she hops back in her congressional race since qualifying for those races isn’t until August.
Interesting, and I didn’t realize that.
Why are party primaries for those races later than for Senate? To me, they should be at the same time.
ETA: Is it because of the fluctuations in the map?

I don’t understand why you pull shite like those flyers I got when they’re almost complete fabrications.
I mean, why even feel like you have to do that sort of thing?
Because unfortunately, it works very well on your low-IQ voters.
In the TX Dem Senate runoff, James Talerico camp ran ads and sent out materials in the mail and online practically calling Jasmine Crockett an ally of Trump. It seemed to work on low-IQ Democrat voters, which is sad because anyone who pays even half attention knows Crockett and Trump are about the farthest from allies.

That’s Huey P Landry’s people doing that on her behalf.
Let her appear sweet and nice, which I’m sure she it, while they handle the dirt work.

I bet part of the reason for this is they're trying to preserve their power grid, which is an issue created by these same government officials. They shunned and even wanted to outlaw oil & gas drilling, making their power grid more reliant on wind and solar.
Good job, dumbasses.

re: What’s your favorite way to fry fish
Posted by ragincajun03 on 6/27/26 at 9:45 am to lsushelly
I like the Louisiana blue bag fish fry, a bit more cornmeal heavy.
Either way, if the fish (say...specks) slept in the bay the night before, so they're nice and fresh, I'll season the filets with a little cayenne, maybe a touch of salt, then in the fish fry and in the hot grease.
If the fish has been in the freezer, I'll add some mustard.
If sac-a-lait, bream or bass, I like to fry whole and make three slits North to South on each side. I'll do the same with flounder as well. Don't think I'll ever filet another flounder. Either fry on the bone, or de-bone best I can and stuff with cut up shrimp or crab meat.

Negative campaigning prevalent in Louisiana U.S. Senate Republican Primary runoff
Posted by ragincajun03 on 6/27/26 at 9:41 am

The race to represent the Republican Party in the 2026 U.S. Senate election comes to an end Saturday night as the primary runoff between Julia Letlow and John Fleming will be decided. Negative ads have been prominent in this campaign as the two sides try to distinguish themselves as the more conservative candidate. Letlow has continuously pointed out that she has the endorsement of President Trump.
“President Trump would never endorse someone who is not a true ‘America First’ conservative. And he has chosen me to endorse; and so that should give the people peace of mind when they have to look at these negative, desperate ads,” Letlow said.
The Fleming campaign has portrayed Letlow as a liberal. Fleming accused Letlow of supporting a liberal environmental agenda when it comes to Carbon Capture and Sequestration and he says Letlow supported DEI initiatives when she interviewed to be the president at ULM. Letlow says she’s anti-DEI and that’s why she authored the Parents Bill of Rights Act.
“The control to be able to go to their school boards lawfully and talk about how they did not appreciate DEI being taught in their children’s curriculum; so, that is absolutely false that I would be a proponent of DEI,” Letlow explained.
Fleming says Letlow’s Parents Bill of Rights Act did not pass and there’s very little she can point to as far as accomplishments since she was elected to the US House of Representatives in 2021.
“She was a higher education administrator before she was elected to Congress, and she’s done very little, practically nothing; she’s not passed one single bill into law,” Fleming noted.
Fleming says his resume is much more robust. Fleming has previously served in the U.S. House and was part of the Trump Administration during the President’s first term. The 74-year-old Minden native also says voters value his experience in the military, as a doctor and business owner.
“Compare us side-by-side, and we’re finding the vast majority of voters feel like there’s no comparison,” Fleming said.
Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday.

Oil & gas companies don’t set the gasoline prices at QuickTrip and Stripes. His rambling about that is playing to people who are ignorant, like any other politician who does that shite. Taking a page out of the Biden-Maxine Waters playbook.

It’s a BS ad that took a brief snip of what he was talking about and turned it into pretty much the opposite of what he was discussing.
But it’s a hit piece geared towards low-IQ voters, and it appears to be working.

Bessent warned oil companies regarding this "habit of convenience" weeks ago. Insofar as GOP policy favors the oil industry, it is in the industry's interest to heed Bessent's warning.
Once again, actual oil companies like Chevron, Shell, Devon, Apache, etc. aren't setting the prices at QuickTriip, WalMart, or even the gas stations that have "Shell" on the sign. The owner of the actual station or franchise does.

Trump just tweeted stuff for the low-IQ folks to eat up, no different than any other politician saying or tweeting ignorant shite during election season.

Elway's at The Ritz is very good. Bone-in NY strip is fantastic.
However, my favorite steak in Denver, and possibly my favorite at any restaurant I've been to, was the flat iron at The Range, which is inside the Renaissance downtown. They also make a really good old fashioned.
