Found these at the San Marvolous HEB, and downvote way…but…

I like it better than the Ghost from Broussard we all know and love.

Speaking of, though, Parish is doing a big expansion. Andrew’s a good dude, and I like seeing local businesses succeed. Good for him and Parish.

Rubio has been a politician since 1998, two years after finishing law school.

I saw a more vertical type map posted by League of Voters or some group like that the other day. I know conservatives/Republicans wouldn't like it, but it honestly geographically made more sense to me as long as the population numbers lined up.

We should be doing these maps more in geographical blocks, but the problem is we would need ALL states to get on board with that. Red and Blue states. If only Red states get on board with that, then conservatives screw themselves (and the country's taxpayers...I guess).

I think not having districts who's lines look like they were drawn by a 3 year old, should be a sticking point.

I also think that "safe" seats based on gerrymandered maps is what keeps the established swamp politicians in power.

The real fact is even your conservative, "pro freedom America" Republicans love the gerrymandered maps, because it also helps ensure their own staying power if they're already in office.

did Kenny ask Letlow about her insider trading? What about her DEI bullshite?

---

He did, and she gave the same answers she keeps giving.

"I'm just a single mom trying to buy groceries, so I have someone independent managing my finances, and I support the bill to ban insider trading in Congress." Which may very well be true.

"You remember how hectic 2020 was. DEI was presented as something to help people out, but then was hijacked by the left, and when I got to Congress, I fought to end it."

Again...though keep in mind I'm not some political consultant, I do think she came off very well in the interview. She put forth the message she's been putting out, and she did come off as very likable. But, she was also definitely treated much different than Fleming was yesterday. They pretty much gushed over her.

Kenny is such a chode you can tell Steve is frequently annoyed by him.

Maybe, but after I heard the Letlow interview, I went back and listened to the Fleming one, since I didn't hear it yesterday. Even Steve treated the two much differently. He interrupted Fleming multiple times as well with Mr. Kenneth's voice.

I don't think someone is paying them off, as some folks on social media have suggested, but it's obvious they are helping out their buddy, the Governor, on this one.

quote:

Fleming will be back on Friday morning.

Really? Honestly, that tells me one of two things, either:

1 - Fleming lets shite roll off his back and is willing to sit down with almost anyone, even after everything went to shite the first time. Which is a positive, in my unprofessional opinion; or..

2 - Despite what his campaign is putting out, he's a decent bit behind in the polls and needs all the air/face time he can get for a prayer to make the runoff.

I sure hope it isn't #2.

Yep. Wacky Tune Friday, or something like that. Wish they still did that.

It’s how I learned who Rodney Carrington and Red Peters were.

Listening to W&J the morning of 9/11 while in college. It’s how I learned of the first plane. Some guy called into the show and was talking about a plane that had just crashed into the World Trade Center. Being W&J at that time were based in LaPlace, I first thought the dude was talking about the WTC of NOLA.

Turned on my TV in time to see the second jet fly into the other tower.

LAFAYETTE, La. (NEWS 15) — Republican U.S. Senate candidate John Fleming accuses Gov. Jeff Landry of orchestrating a controversial AI-generated attack ad as Louisiana voters prepare to head to the polls later this week for a hotly contested GOP primary.

The political action committee, Accountability Project, released a campaign ad featuring an AI-generated image of Fleming driving a school bus full of immigrants with a Mexican flag flying. The spot generated widespread discussion on social media.

Fleming, who is challenging incumbent Sen. Bill Cassidy alongside Rep. Julia Letlow in the Republican primary, claims Landry, a backer of Letlow, was behind the ad. He also accuses Letlow and Landry of spreading false allegations in other attack ads.

"They even tried to connect me with 9/11 of all things," Fleming said. "Julia Letlow, my goodness, Jeff Landry, have you no shame to say things like this, vile things, trying to connect me with the death of Americans?"

Fleming suggests he is being targeted with the school bus ad and other attacks because multiple polls show him as the current front-runner in the Senate race.

This whole race continues to get stranger, and yeah…not a fan at all of the garbage AI is beginning to cause, especially when it comes to politics.

The Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P 500 are all at or near historical highs under this presidency, so yeah, it's pretty golden, chief.

The Dow and S&P 500 have reached historical highs under each President, at least from as far back as I can view the charts on Google. The Nasdaq has done so each Presidential term since Obama II, after recovering from the dot com crash.

So I guess it’s all been Golden Age under the past several Presidents…Obama, Trump and Biden included.
