Being that you’re a liberal, I can see why you take that stance. You are too far gone to expect you to see another side, but here it is…… ‘Google search: Under U.S. law, it is not illegal or a formal legal conflict of interest for a president to own stock in a defense contractor like Lockheed Martin, but ethics watchdogs argue it creates a severe appearance of a conflict. [1, 2] The Legal Reality Exemption from Statutes: The primary federal criminal conflict-of-interest statute (18 U.S.C. § 208) bars executive branch employees from participating personally in government matters that affect their financial interests. However, the president and vice president are explicitly exempt from this law. [1, 2] No Direct Ban: Presidents are not legally prohibited from holding individual stocks, managing portfolios, or having trades executed through third-party accounts or family trusts while in office. [1, 2] The Ethical Debate The Appearance of Profiteering: Critics and ethics experts point out that a president commands the military, shapes defense budgets, and makes public statements or policy decisions that can directly drive up the stock prices of major military contractors during a conflict. Holding millions in these specific companies while overseeing a war creates an inherent conflict between public duty and potential personal financial gain. [1, 2] The Defense: Administrations typically defend these holdings by asserting that the president's assets are handled by independent managers or trusts, meaning the leader has no direct input, control, or foreknowledge over individual daily stock buys and sales

I only disputed your claim that a team that gives up 33 points in a game vs. a quality opponent makes them have no talent.

We lost power this morning but just got it back at 7:30pm.

Vidor with the upset! 35-31 Think defense will keep getting better and better as year goes on. Played well last week, and i think they do just enough to keep Broussard and all his weapons from getting into a consistent rhythm.

I would put Ned back at safety. He gets dinged up too much at the RB position. He was a beast on defense as a sophomore. I really hope Nederland surprises us real soon but I’m just not sure.

You do realize how foolish it is to continue blaming Biden. Why do you keep doing it? I can’t recall a President or his children who personally profited from weapons sales in any war. War profiteers have funded presidents, but I can’t think of another president who was a war profiteer. Blame that on Biden.

Is your power on? My sister lives just off of 327, West of Silsbee, and their power is off, still.

That could get confusing, like who's on first.

[Hidden Content] I guess this would be another opinion.

Trump repeatedly promised that private donors would fully pay for his White House ballroom project. The estimated construction grew from $200 million to nearly $400 million. Why tear down a historic building that wasn't broken for supposedly security reasons and then have a UFC fight on the front lawn? 2.5 million to 3 million Epstein documents remain unreleased. The Donald was in the files. The Attorney General failed to fully comply with the Transparency Act and effectively conceded to violating the law. Trump controlling the house and senate is known as a governing trifecta. Fall of 2025, Johnson kept the house away for weeks during prolonged gov. funding fights and partial shutdowns. June 2026, MAGA Mike sent the House home early ahead of July 4th holiday after hard-line conservatives blocked procedural votes and defense spending. Feb.28,2026, Epstein War without seeking prior authorization or a formal declaration of war from the MAGA Congress. Trump bypassed the traditional oversight mechanisms outlined in the War Powers Resolution. Can you debunk any of these opinions from your facts?

Uncle Biden’s Rice just doesn’t have the same ring as Uncle Ben’s but nice try. Lol The rational verbal gymnastics is nauseating at this point.

What makes it fact? You have a seat on the board?

Well be prepared. After our announcer called them the bayou birds all game last year, I’m sure there’s going to be some retaliation. -
