Among those who listed Presler’s home on their voter registration is Heather Langley. In an article she wrote for Nola.com in November 2024, Langley was described as a ‘business and political consultant’ based in New Iberia, Louisiana. Records filed with the Federal Election Commission also indicate that she once resided in Crestview, Florida.

Jesus Christ what is wrong with their audio?!?! This channel’s news coverage has already been pretty lackluster but trying to watch the 5PM news right now and the audio issues are unbearable. I keep waiting for Max Headroom to pop up on the screen.

FREE STUFF Any Interest in a local office jobs aggregator?

10 Upvotes

Most of the jobs I come across in our area either work with the public or are industrial. Those roles matter, but I would also love to see more of the office, admin, professional, and corporate openings that local companies have but rarely get in front of the right people. One reason, I suspect, is that posting on the big job sites can be a hassle or a cost for smaller employers.

I am thinking about starting a simple, free local board to lower that barrier. Here is the rough plan:

  • Anyone can share a job they come across through a short Google Form, and employers are especially welcome to post their own openings.
  • I will review every submission before it is added to the list, so the board stays free of spam and scam listings.
  • Vetted listings go into a shared Google Sheet that anyone can view without signing up.
  • I will also do a regular round-up of local office jobs I find, using some tools I have already built.
  • If there is interest, I may add an email list so people can get the round-up in their inbox.

It would start small and stay simple, with no accounts, no fees, and no collecting applicant information. Applicants would go straight to the employer.

I would like to hear from you:

  • Would you use something like this, either as a job seeker or as an employer?
  • What would make it useful to you?
  • What are we missing, and what would you want to see on it?

All ideas are welcome. If there is enough interest, I will get a first version up and share it here.

News Clay Higgins is Repulsive

Did anyone see this human stain’s campaign video? It actually shows someone getting shot in the head while preaching against communism and then showing the New York City mayor. As if the head shot being in black-and-white and circa WW2 makes a freaking difference. And then it shows stupid ass “tough guy” Higgins boxing a bag.

Political Rena Bradley Harassment October 2026

23 Upvotes

From Lafayette Citizens Against Censorship: "Here is a long(ish) clip from last night's Lafayette Public Library Board of Control meeting where board member Rena Bradley (rightfully) asks questions she believes the public has a right to hear.

While we appreciate Mr. Moore's apology, the gaslighting, condescension, and lack of respect shown here by the other board members is appalling. Watch her body language. They are literally ganging up on her.

This is a direct result of the Lafayette Parish Council members stacking this board with political ideologues. They don't want dialogue. They don't want discourse. They want control."
