The Bryce young contract extension decision is tough.

On the one hand, he is pretty bad and will be an anchor around a franchise with a new, expensive contract. Like a smaller, much worse Dak Prescott.

On the other hand, it is possible the alternative is worse.
So when she dies are these building going to be put into some non profit supporting the church and paying no property taxes?

Whether you support Letlow or not, the no show, no debate, no questions campaign strategy may work for her, but it's completely disrespectful to the people she will represent.


This is succinct and well said.

Why even have real candidates if they won’t debate or engage with the people they represent. Just let me vote for an R bot or a D bot and let the elected AI agent go vote. Save everyone some per diem reimbursements and air fare.
Talarico up to 72% to win on Polymarket.

Thats an increase in 10% since the start of early voting.

Lots of good money to be made right now betting on Paxton as everyone else misreads the early voting tea leaves.

I don’t think this is correct. At least for Puerto Rico, as a territory, it would just take majority of each the house and senate.

The Dems should absolutely do this. Gain two new senators and move Louisiana up in many state rankings.

No offense…but the “won’t debate” argument always makes me laugh. Excluding political operatives and college students fulfilling a political science course requirement, I would bet that less than 10% of voters watch any debate except for the presidential ones. Yet, he/she refuses to debate is the constant clatter. Regardless of the reactions…only candidates who are behind want a debate.


10% of voters decides pretty much every election.

Only candidates who are behind want a debate is as stupid as saying only candidates who are behind want to campaign.

Either run for office or don’t. Running at the clock and refusing to debate is a disservice to the public from a wannabe public servant.

Show up, stand in front of voters across from your opponent for 90 minutes and present yourself and your platform.

It is a very bad development for US elections that districts and states are becoming more partisan and partisans are refusing to engage with the alternative. And it’s happening more and more, mostly from republicans.
New Orleans spending half a billion on a new city hall when there is available office space seems dumb.

City hall should move into one shell square. Save the city on a massive build out and put enough permanent occupancy into a major CBD building facing a doom loop of vacancy in the very near future.

I guess. But then we just end up with Murray by another name. I don’t think a couple of second rounders is worth adding yet another not over prized vet with zero interest in being here.

And we aren’t getting a first for Murray unless it is heavily protected.

Trade Murray and Poole.


Murray is functionally an expiring with just a player option left.

Whatever you do, don’t take on more salary to move Murray. I’d rather bench him and run out his contract than take on any longer term liability for him.

I hope he wins strictly because letlow ducked a debate.

Say what you will about lady graham but she showed up on a debate stage.

Politicians should be punished by losing if they don’t debate. It’s still the best window the voters get into who these people are.
Some true Marie Antoinette level of awareness with that letter.

We are all happy your party in Paris was great, Gayle. I hear the desserts were the stuff of dreams and the talk of France.

We will look a lot better when most of the league stops trying to win regular season games. Just need to give it some time.

Odd activity for Old Metarie.


I think this is pretty good. I’d put Maine closer to 55-60 for Collins. I think she wins but that is a really hard one to read.

Likewise I think Texas is closer to 50-50.

I think el sayed has a better than 50 chance of winning in Michigan.

For the retards who think that Bolsinaro is about Russia Moscow Times says LULA is in a big way.


No one here has lauded Lula. But the Bolsanaro family back in charge of Brazil is bad for an American led world order. The Ukraine war, from the American perspective, is an attempt to destroy the American led world order and our interest in seeing Russia defeated is to preserve that world.

Would be authoritarians being elected is bad for Ukraine wherever it happens. Seeing those people removed from Hungary, Serbia, is good for Ukraine.

And if marine le pen or AfD win in upcoming elections it will be a near death blow to Ukraine’s war efforts.

Any CEO and company that supported Drumpf in anyway be preparing your answers and lawyer up.


Certainly any ceo or managing partner of a law firm, university, or company that capitulated to Trump after being targeted by the GOP or allowed Trump to take a government stake in the company should be brought to testify on what happened.

We can’t ever let the public sector run roughshod over private entities again like we’ve seen these last two years.
If Netanyahu loses today, I wonder if he will take one more bite of the apple in bombing Iran before he is out of office. I assume there will be some kind of parting shot aimed somewhere from Netanyahu.
I agree with this. Trump did great doing the podcast circuit. I can’t believe Kamala didn’t go on Rogan assuming there was a genuine invitation.

Meanwhile countries which have gone conservative are thriving.



I have no idea if this is true but my guess is if we looked at gdp growth by country since 2000 it would paint a list of thriving “conservative” countries.

I do think it’s a good thing Brazil didn’t elect the son of the guy who just staged coup and is running on a platform of retribution, who is closely aligned with Trump, and is agnostic to a Putin world view
It wouldn’t let me make a Goofy for Houthi image if Goofy dog as a Houthi militant. Because some lady probably.
Bolsonaro loses to Lula in Brazil. A bit relevant as Brazil falling to a Putin/Trump supporter could further change Russia’s access to global markets.

More significantly, the Putin endorsed Serbian leader just saw his party lose. Serbia has been a bit of a thorn in the side of EU aide to Ukraine. Another Putin/Trump ally off the board.
