The People

95% are gone by Mardi Gras.

I always go out of my way to encourage them and make them feel welcome, but sadly most people just don’t want it bad enough to make these habits a lifestyle choice.

I ask most of them to answer two questions to themselves: How bad do you want it? What are you willing to give up?

Life is nothing more than a series of trade offs. Everyone is trying to find the right balance that will make them content. I wish them all the best.

I know everything I need to know about your discipline, your consistency, and your work ethic.

You sound jealous and insecure.

Life is nothing but a series of trade offs. Who the frick are you to decide if someone else is willing to trade off their time and effort for physical results and aesthetic superiority? Heaven forbid someone wants to reach their full potential during the short time they are here on earth.

Post less.

My mom. That’s it.

Wife and I have everything we could possibly ever want or need. If we want it during the year, we buy it for ourselves.

Christmas is for giving, to kids, with no expectation of anything being given back.

Gift giving with adults always feels transactional. I give you $100 gift, you give me a $100 gift. It never made sense to me.

I’ve read through this thread, and everything he said is absolutely SPOT ON.

I’ll be voting YES on all three propositions to support the Mayor I helped elect — to give him the tools needed to fix the city/parish budgets that were left broken after years of neglect and poor leadership from the previous administration.

I honestly believe much of the opposition comes from those who’d rather see this administration fail so they can replace it in four years with a Democrat.

For every rapper like him that makes it big out of this City, he sets back 75k kids that look just like him.

His rhymes and lifestyle glamorizing violence are a cancer to the young men that follow them.

The National Guard will help with maintaining some order, deterring major crimes in high crime areas, removing homeless, and cleaning up obvious blight.

The real game substantive game changer is the abundance of 1811/Federal Agents being sent into cities. Good cops being good cops and trusting life long instincts. This is what we should be hoping for more than the Guard if fighting violent crime is the objective.

How did you feel about Doug Moreau's radio work for LSU?

Private sector, free market, and not nearly as prestigious.

ETA: Radio gig for 98.1 is not an appointed position by LSU.

Is it lack of applicants or lack of funds to pay the officers? Both?

A decade of identity politics from woke local leadership that constantly traded in on the sins of past transgressions and villainized the profession.

The starting salary for a Baton Rouge police officer is $40,906.

These are the main culprits, in my humble opinion.

I love my girlfriend. Hey babe.

Makes a TON of sense and will save the taxes payers money, which can then be used to improve EMS.

EMS will still maintain the same branding, training, and funding, but will give up some of the duplicated administrative task that can be done under one umbrella. This will make the agency more efficient.

No need for two different public information officers/spokesman for each agency to tell people to stay cool when it’s hot. The list of duplications is massive. This is one of many.
