    Wouldn’t shock me at all that companies involved with electrical generation understand and implement strategies to increase profits during a crisis. Why wouldn’t they do that. Lord knows that they won’t even publicly be shamed much less punished. I suppose the PUC or ERCOT could tell their CEO, behind closed doors, to be more careful about getting caught.

    This guy may have only been a volunteer (unpaid?) at Prestonwood church in north Dallas but good enough to make the list.

    Amos was also great the often broadcast The Beastmaster.

    I'm in the middle of the GenX age range and it wouldn't surprise me that GenXers are on the Trump side. Many are scared of the future and retirement is rapidly approaching. When you have uncertainties of your economic future, it's easy to fall prey to lies that today and the future will be financially worse under Harris. Social media has proven that people are more likely to engage with negative than positive. Saying, "Harris will destroy America" hits emotions more than "Trump will improve the economy." Many Gen X women love their Facebook.

    Tonight Walz needs to explicitly state that JD is the driving force behind MAGA and the campaign. Several times. Trump will be seething if anyone even implied the campaign wasn't solely about him. I believe Trump would put JD on the sidelines if Walz made this comment.

    At the ULM game, I saw a young guy walking around DKR with a tshirt that had "Taxes are gay" on the back. Thought that was weird but this article explains the origin on that. MAGA and Kid Rock are just a more mainstream version of juggalos. Sure a few more old style republicans show up to the rallies but they wouldn't let the majority of the audience walk in their front door. Kid Rock mentions in this article how he will return to non-political after the election. I highly doubt that. He will learn that Trump is his only brand and trying to appeal to a wider audience will only alienate those will might show up to his shows.

    LBGTQ

    Nice Guy Eddie replied to Mo Horn's topic in Cloak Room

    The concept of a state ID is out of date. We should have a national ID that can have attributes of a Texas drivers license or resident. And with this change, Paxton's opinion about gender wouldn't matter.

    And if anyone (daughter, wife, not their wife) in their life has an unwanted pregnancy, flying to another state is not a big deal. They might even be anti-abortion but they believe in exception for themselves.

    FWIW, Directv bought out Dish today for $1 plus assumed it's debt. Simultaneously private equity firm TPG Capital bought out the remaining ownership of Directv. https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/30/media/directv-dish-network-merger/index.html

    Lara Trump will ensure that the RNC buys these watches at full price and then hand them out to VIP donors. I could see Trump learning how some donors give directly to the RNC, bypassing his campaign, and they needed a method to point that money back over to him.

    If you have anyone in your life that you want to see them vote, make sure they're registered. check registration: https://teamrv-mvp.sos.texas.gov/MVP/mvp.do register: https://vrapp.sos.state.tx.us/index.asp (or check with your local county's website) pick up a blank voter registration forms at county offices, post offices, libraries or apparently some high schools Of course Texas doesn't want you to vote, so the online application only completes a form that must be printed, signed and mailed/walked-in to the county office. Any mailed application must be postmarked by the 7th. @immamac can you pin this to the top for the next week?

    Trumpists say that "mainstream media" is all liberals, and progressives say that "mainstream media" is conservative.

    Always loved how the NBA banned the finger wag except Mutombo was grandfathered in to continue it.

    Whether climate change is making these storms stronger or it's just a coincidence, we need to adjust our infrastructure and emergency planning to allow for higher intensity storms and more rain. Spoiler it is climate change but I know that triggers some. Unfortunately stronger infrastructure or more standby assistance costs money which no one wants to fund.

    I don’t understand any criticism of the govt especially fema. I don’t believe FEMA is structured nor mandated to prevent floods or stop disasters. They’re there for disaster recovery. These cities are in the middle of the disaster and fema will assist afterwards. As for rescues isn’t that more about police, sheriff or nationals/state guard?

    PA is going to be within 1 to 2 points difference at most. Harris needs to continue to fight for each vote.

    ive heard friends or coworkers talk about elderly parents who effectively have no assets except maybe a home and they need their full monthly income, pension or SS, to live. The old person scrambles looking for ideas and come across predatory financial products. I would discover exactly what the benefits are and how much it will roughly cost for all of the services you and your brother will want. I agree that funeral insurance would imply that you’re choosing the services it will cover. My advice: If you and your brother can swing the costs of the funeral, tell mom to save her $50 for something that makes her happy. Lie that either you or your brother have a work benefit that covers parent’s funeral costs. She will believe because she wants to.

    Just remember that Elon was an illegal immigrant himself. He overstayed his visa for an unknown amount of time because he refuses to address it. And the govt have privacy policies so they won’t comment on his past immigration problems. But he sees himself differently. And I agree that Elon has been tremendously successful, still an understatement, and shows that we want hard working immigrants in this country.

    Let me guess. You think someone mentioning that the pitcher has a no-hitter, in the 7th, impacts said no-hitter? 😀

    He needs 16 days. I heard a Carter center spokesman say that Jimmy was voting absentee on the first day possible: Oct 15th.

    Turns 100 on Tuesday. Obviously his health isn’t the best but quite the milestone to be the oldest ex-president ever.

    Everyone is fawning over bama winning the “best game in 40 years” or whatever. It was a freaking video game where each team looked like crap at time. My guess is that the winner was going to jump us no matter what. when we beat GA by 14, will they give us the bump over Bama?

    Elon musk will someday be a Bond villain.

    Don’t know but I have a similar situation so interested in replies. Recent annual physical had glucose within normal ranges at 94 but my A1C was 5.7 just outside the normal range. My doc labeled this as prediabetic. The only advice I got was to eat healthier and exercise more. I’ve been relatively sedentary lately. And put on about 10 lbs this year.

    I hope Biden is overwhelming southeastern residents who need immediate and long term help from the hurricane. Obviously this is a minimum expectation of the fed govt especially fema but there needs to be no peep that some are not getting the legitimate help to get back on their feet. Hell I would even help out with illegitimate needs. and financially encourage social media people to post what they’re seeing from the federal govt.
