re: Mike Johnson: Releasing Epstein files without redactions could pose national security risk

How is it a national security risk?
That would be dumb.
Maybe in tone, but if he goes against policy, he's done.

re: Why is USAID funding so much of the BBC??? And why is the Gates Foundation??

It’s their international charity project:

Looks like they bring media to people around the world that otherwise would not have access. It’s not BBC “proper.”

So none of y'all have read the original article, I take it?
You are mad because of someone else's summary. And that author is paid to play to his base and make you mad.
Here is the offending paragraph from the original article:
Emphasis added.
That seems incredibly tame to me.

Here is the offending paragraph from the original article:
quote:
Stephen Miller soon joined a growing list of senior Trump-administration political appointees—at least six by our count—living in Washington-area military housing, where they are shielded not just from potential violence but also from protest. It is an ominous marker of the nation’s polarization, to which the Trump administration has itself contributed, that some of those top public servants have felt a need to separate themselves from the public. These civilian officials can now depend on the U.S. military to augment their personal security. But so many have made the move that they are now straining the availability of housing for the nation’s top uniformed officers.
Emphasis added.
That seems incredibly tame to me.

It almost certainly would not apply to you or anyone even close to retirement if they model it after what Reagan and O'Neil did in the 80s.
re: LSU and Gov. Landry makes National headlines for Charlie Kirk Statue and Head coach kerfuf

don't think have a statue of a man known as a bastion for open, respectful debate is the worst idea.
I get the "isn't LSU" stance... but it isn't like CK wasn't a fixture of college campus speech and debate.
Not saying y'all need a statue by any means... but at the end of the day, do we want to look up to only sports statues or maybe also some statues that evoke freedom, passion and debate?
We don't have statues of George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Einstein, Patton, or a host of other worthy people.

You think the "target" for the Louisiana Governor is the sports entertainment industry?
Never mind, we are one of the poorest, least educated states, with people fleeing left and right. Let's focus on this distraction!
Don't get me wrong, I think the whole NIL thing is out of control. I don't disagree with the issue (for the most part). But the man seems to be governing by what grabs headlines.

Henry was not Landry’s choice for Senate President. He had the votes locked up.

Weren't they forced to tailgate on the parade grounds to stop overdrinking at the houses?
I think a lot of frats will be happy with this (unless they can neither use the parade ground OR their houses).

re: Gov Landry Favorability hits low in new Statewide Poll
Posted by BigJim on 10/23/25 at 11:02 am to ragincajun03
I have seen some polls that put him in the low 40s, so this isn't that far off.
Here is a Hayride piece explaining why he might be low (from that writer's perspective): LINK
And another Hayride piece from the Exec Director of the state Republican Party who takes issue with the poll: LINK
So read both and decide for yourself.

re: What are realistic solutions to fixing our fiscal issues?
Posted by BigJim on 10/21/25 at 9:17 am to Screaming Viking

There is no one step to fix it. We are so far gone.
2-methodically shrink the fed gov’t down to the responsibilities as they are laid out in the Constitution.
3-USAID and all NGOs are done away with. If you need a work around, you shouldn’t do it.
4-make it illegal to pay money to any foreign gov’t if the US is in the red.
5-term limits. Coupled with no more special treatment in any way of elected officials. Health insurance, etc. If you are an elected official, there is no retirement pension. You chose to run.
6-should be higher up the list….a flat tax. Tax law should be able to print on an index card.
Just off the top of my head.
None of that has to do with Social Security.
