If you have done your ancestry and you aren’t Cajun but descended from the people that settled the colonial and frontier south, you will likely find you have ancestors that started in Maryland before settling west.

He's not wrong. I've researched my paternal and maternal ancestry back to the 1620s (in the "new world") and both side started in Maryland and/or Virginia.

and yes, several fought in the American Revolution and both sides of the Civil War.

However, Maryland is a small "s" southern state.

re: US cities tier list

While limited, that's a fair list. Really depends on what criteria they're using. My opinion excludes crime and ghettos.

Savannah and Charleston are great cities. Charming and historic.

Chicago's downtown (within the Loop) and the neighborhoods north of downtown are amazing...in the summer.

LA, Vegas, NOLA, and NYC are sh!tholes, plain and simple.

Boston is amazing and has everything, but the cold, rainy weather is brutal.

Miami (proper, including Miami Beach) is paradise with caveats.

San Diego is ok if you're in the Navy, Pac Beach is beautiful. San Fran is too congested, but I see the allure of Nob Hill and adjacent neighborhoods.

All the Texas cities are the same...marginal downtown, everything "fun" pushed to the suburbs.
GAAAH! Thank you!

People who post on here are so fcuking stoooopid sometimes.

Basic civics, people, basic fcuking civics.

...so right about you losers

Doesn't matter who said/says it, you're all losers. The obsession over Ronny D and his wife, from both sides...the pro- and the anti-, is hysterical to watch from the mountaintop.

I'll give Ronny D this, he did what Scalise never had the courage to do...run and win the Governorship.

That being said, the FL Gov race has and always will be a circus sideshow.

Simple answer: loyalty

Nothing else matters. Physical appearance can change, money comes and goes, hardships will be encountered. Loyalty is everything during the highs and lows.

IMO, it’s the one innate quality many, many women don’t possess because of genetics, learned behavior, or societal norms.

Therefore, if you find one who is loyal, marry her and build a family and life together.

You’re welcome.
Looks like CMM downvoted my post.

Learn to coach, learn to recruit, learn to develop players and stop posting on TD.

Burn. It. Down.
Tonight’s game against UGA is the first time I’ve watched an LSU game since CWW left. Words cannot describe how bad this CMM team is.

They’d lose to a very good HS team. Sad state of affairs for MBB. Burn it down and start fresh.

Belt off center with tie while meeting the president.

I’m no fan of Chip, but this is your lead criticism of him (post-meeting with DJT)? His fashion sense or mishap? When you zoomed in to look at his belt buckle, did you stare at his d!ck too?

PSA — Women and gheys critique fashion, men do not.

Color me shocked to see that you’re an Aggie.
6 terms House — 12 years
2 terms Senate — 12 years
2 terms POTUS — 8 years

Agree with moratorium on lobbying, serving as a “policy advisor” for lobbying and law firms, and no Chamber privileges for any former member.

Muriel Bowser is your mayor. Maybe you should sit this one out

Since I don’t live in Washington DC, jokes on you.

But I was born in Louisiana and lived there for most of my life; therefore, I’m qualified to speak about your dipsh!t politicians, especially since I(‘ve) know(n) many of them personally including the current Governor.
Typical Louisiana politicians, all bark and no bite.

When will you clowns learn to stop electing barely functional morons.

Can’t think of one current politician who isn’t a blow hard, con man/woman, cartoon character, or miscreant.

The dipsh!t politicians and universal grift that’s been going on for decades, if not the past century.
Let’s just say the knife came from the top.

The next two years are going to be a lot of grandstanding unless he dramatically changes his approach to reelection. IMO, of course.

Interesting on SD4. Guess I’m gonna have to pay closer attention to Session in 2025.

Yeah, I’m not sure Crenshaw likes being a Congressman, but those guys/gals always have an eye on their next move. You have to rise quickly in that Chamber to relevant and I’m not sure he’s risen like he intended.
I think Cornyn is extremely vulnerable right now. No Majority Leader (you’d be shocked who knifed him in the back), no Committee leadership, doesn’t request earmarks. He’s gonna have his hands full with Paxton, especially with Dunn’s money and influence.

Patrick has a harder challenge IMO. Abbott has 50+ approval but let’s see what Session brings.

You seem to want Republicans to deal with democrats, but hated McCarthy? This is literally the McCarthy playbook:

No, I don’t, but sadly I know how both chambers work when there aren’t super majorities. I’d love a 20-30 seat Republican majority in the House and 60+ in the Senate, BUT that’s not the world we live in; therefore, you have to compromise if you want to get anything done.

Having to compromise legislative items within my own party that are BS and could be secured at a later is frustrating.

Pay real close to how House Democrats operate like a machine with everyone falling in line for fear of losing committee seats or campaign support. Republicans don’t operate like that and allow a minority of idiotic showboaters to force the collective into bad decisions.

But muh shutdown! Name me a single time a government shutdown worked out in Republicans favor.

Welcome to politics. Enjoy the ride.

And I want a leader to lead, punish his outlying members when he has to, keep his promises to the American people.

Very good chance of that

KBH and Cornyn too. Too many House members to list on both sides of the aisle.

Hope to move back to Texas when my time is done here. Thankfully, I’m somewhere in Texas at least once a month — Kerrville a few weeks ago, Houston in November, and FTW in October.

No, his opinion reinforces my facts.

Maybe you can’t read, but I’ve sat across the negotiating table with FC members and staff for the past 15 years (when they started as Tea Party). I’m not giving you an opinion, I’m telling you how that acted in the room and on the floor.

Cernovich, much like you and others, blindly believe(d) their actions are/were well-intentioned, when in reality, it’s self-serving.

Believe what you want. I understand it’s hard to see the game from the cheap seats.

Since you’re obviously new to how politics actually works, I found this gem on X, which explains where you’re at in your quest to seem knowledgeable.

Enjoy. Freedom Caucus is a joke
