re: Honeymoon is over…Baton Rouge Advocate turning on hiring practices of LSU Athletics.
Posted by michael corleone on 4/14/26 at 1:44 am to WildcatMike
The Advocate has criticized EVERY coaching hire made since LSU paid CNS a record 1 mill per year in 2000. They bashed the CNS hire as setting a disturbing precedent. The underlying theme to all of criticism has revolved around the numbers , hence “at all cost”. The Advocate won’t be happy with a hire until LSU promotes a chemistry professor to coach football for 350k per year. Of course , after multiple losing seasons they will question why the BR economy is in a downturn and point to smaller crowds at home games.

Japanese and Germans said the same thing during WW2. Commies said the same during the Cold War. The one thing that can said about “fanatical true believers” —regardless of whether their ideology in police or religious in nature , once you takeaway their means of existence (financial, nutritional , protection ) they divide into fight/fright camps. The fighters die. When enough die, the fright resolve the conflict.

The last line of the article is classic. It declares as fact that she missed the 2022 season after being “wrongfully” detained in Russia for 10 months.

Just a reminder
If not for Churchill, the Brits would have surrendered to the Nazis before a German boot stepped foot on British soil. That’s fact. His predecessor Gabe Hitler free rein over Europe and the entire country said “ok” until Dunkirk. If Churchill had not been around, they would have surrendered long ago. The only royal family member with balls was killed by the Irish.(Mountbatten). Everyone else in the royal family and parliament is an absolute pussy. Not sure if chicken banns me for that word , bit it is awfully true. Don’t get me started on the French.

re: Sounds like most want the fed to reduce rates and bring back 10% inflation.......

The interest rate has more to do with the cost of operating capital that the cost of a home. Most businesses , as delta states , have a LOC or something similar that they use for operating capital as opposed to cash. When the cost of that capital gets to high, they stop spending. When they stop spending , the cash flow in the economy slows down.

Did anyone else jump in on this one ? Lunar lander. Small, easy to build engines that push small payloads into orbit. Easy to turnover production wise and a market that wants small engines with high frequency launches.

Europeans have been controlled by propaganda for centuries. It doesn’t matter if is controlled by a monarchy, fascist, or communist government. They have never been “free thinkers” or driven by self improvement like Americans. Their press tells them “Trump is bad/America is bad” and they believe it.

It’s a head fake. They sniffed out the next IRG leadership with the comms. They are now locked in to strike there.

I don’t think they want to make a rest. I think they want to make everything as public and embarrassing as possible. The problem is you’re dealing with people that don’t have any shame or care about personal accountability. Their base doesn’t care what they say or do because in the mind of their base—the end justifies the means. This is what happens when you are more concerned about political power than doing what is best for the people.

I was told we didn’t have a recession when Biden was president despite job losses, inflation, no GDP growth and high interest rates. Guess the definition changed again.

re: Austin cops that took down the shooter are being referred to a grand jury
Posted by michael corleone on 3/3/26 at 9:16 pm to the808bass
SPEEDY will vouch for me—the don’t all go to grand juries. Generally the DA only recommends shootings to a GJ when he wants to absolve himself of anyone questioning him of his decision to not prosecute. Otherwise, only the horribly bad situations go to a GJ. When a perp is shot while actively shooting it never goes to a GJ. When a perp is shot with a gun in his hand and pointed at a GJ it rarely goes to a GJ.
re: Which finished Britain as a world power: WW2 or Suez Crisis?
Posted by michael corleone on 2/24/26 at 12:32 pm to prplhze2000
Very interesting question but I suggest you expand on it. It should really be two questions:
Which event ended Britain’s ability to exercise influence and leverage as a world power.
Which event caused Britain to realize that it was no longer a world power.
In my opinion, when Patton crossed over the Rhine, it ended Britain’s ability to exercise and leverage authority as a world power. Britain in specifically Montgomery wanted to be the first to cross the ride. The allies gave Montgomery multiple opportunities, dating back to market garden in September. He couldn’t get it done. He wanted a direct order issued to patent to not cross the rhyme. Then once he crossed it, he demanded that patent be relieved of duties. Churchill realized at that point that Britain was not the big stick it used to be. Immediately thereafter, they lost much of their empire as part of the post World War II fallout. Despite this, it is clear that they did not realize how we emasculated they were until the Suez crisis. Reality finally hit them in the face.
