Imagine being so desperate that you are robbing a DQ at 9pm.

Sorry to hear about this guy but I really hate seeing the words “high speed chase” in any story because it puts the lives of others in danger. Since he appeared to escape the police chase, I assume the local law enforcement has a policy against following too close in these chases. Effectively letting them get away, and continue to look for them.

Are you talking about this? eta linky: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/health/obesity-drug-prices-trump.html
Obesity Drugs May Drop to as Little as $149 a Month
President Trump announced a deal with Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk to lower prices on hugely popular weight-loss drugs for Medicare, Medicaid and American patients who pay with their own money.
I called it. These companies will throw some coupons to those paying fully out of pocket. If you use your insurance or Medicare, it’s full price. Which means higher premiums for all.

Funny. I thought I recall Republicans decrying efforts by the government to negotiate with drug companies to lower Rx prices. I must have imagined that.
The Rx companies will push to offer coupons for low income/uninsured folks. This is always how they appease politicians who can claim wins. Keeping insurance reimbursement at high levels is the goose that lays the golden eggs.

This is welcome news. Of course what would be better is if the gov't would simply subsidize it for use to the point that it would be fully available to anyone who might benefit from it and not just those who can pay $100 or more a month for it.
The benefits to the entire healthcare system would be enormous (reducing the need for treatment of issues caused by or related to obesity).
I've had a few coworkers lose large amounts of weight over the last year. I can't say it's GLP-1 drugs but it's a safe assumption. They look great and you would have to guess there are health benefits by dropping that much weight/stress on their body. GLP-1 also looks to have similar benefits for alcohol, drug and gambling addictions. Maybe more of us need to microdose GLP-1.

I'm 55+ but I can't imagine living in a 55+ community. My assumption is that 55+ mainly means 70+ and I'm not interested in that yet.

Is he going to announced another 1000% discount?
As for the airport issues, I'm cheering as many long lines and potential cancellations as possible. I feel for anyone impacted by the problems but Americans need to face the consequences of who we elected. Duffy, the Transportation Sec may announced potential flight cancellations but I somehow doubt Trump will go for that. He knows that he can't just inconvenience Democrats with these issues.

The Epstein files will never be fully released while Trump is alive. As soon as they're about to be released, there will be a judge who will block the release. Then it will have to slowly work it's way through some courts for years. Delay Delay Delay.

The woman seriously needs therapy
There's nothing worse than someone who immediately plays the "I'm calling my lawyer and will sue all of you" card.
I will bet anything that Mace will not move forward with this lawsuit once she fully recognizes that it would entail that she sit for a deposition and potentially on the witness stand.
EDIT: Mace would only accuse her alleged rapist when she was on the floor of the House and somewhat protected by law that allows Reps to have protected speech. It would be interesting if opposing counsel, in this case, could get her to speak to the alleged situation in terms of her defaming others. If so, that could open up to the alleged rapist suing her. I would assume that the House floor accusation could then be brought in as evidence since it wouldn't be the only defamatory speech but rather a pattern.

Prop 12 passing tells you all you need to know about how stupid the average voter is. I did not see one positive endorsement of that proposition and it still passed 60-40.
Many of the propositions are about protecting Texas from future liberal leadership. If Texas seriously starts to flip blue (lol) but the GOP has one last gasp of power, one can only imagine the 100s of props that would be proposed in that last election.

I wonder how many Texans really thought that they were preventing illegal immigrants from voting in future elections with that one prop. I bet quite a few Texans were slightly pissed because they stupidly assume that those same immigrants were probably voting no to the proposition.
The low intelligence of Texans always come out in the referendums.

Imagine if you had done a cash out and invested the proceeds in the market.
Yeah but hindsight investing is always easy. Give me the DeLorean and my wealth would make Biff look like a pauper.
I'm far from a Dave Ramsey follower but there is something strong about not having a mortgage even if it's not necessarily the best method to maximize your net worth. I'm in my 50s and my only real financial regret is that I didn't prioritize paying off my house sooner.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/texas-gov-abbott-says-ll-190757763.html
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) wrote on the eve of Election Day that he would impose tariffs on any New Yorker who moves to Texas after voting ended.
“After the polls close tomorrow night, I will impose a 100% tariff on anyone moving to Texas from NYC,” Abbott posted on social platform X.
The governor’s office did not immediately respond to a request for more information from NewsNation, The Hill’s sister network, on how those tariffs would work.
The power to impose tariffs falls within the federal government’s authority in the Constitution, not the states.
What's the formula to determine how to charge a "tariff" on someone moving to Texas? Has Trump fully redefined the word tariff to mean punishment fee?
I filed my taxes late, the IRS imposed a tariff on me.

Sounds like we all did the COVID re-fi. I’m $190k at 2.5 for 10 more years.
I can’t imagine why anyone wouldn’t have taken advantage of a refi when rates were below 3%. Obviously if you only had a few years left, I could see why not.

According to the tribune, all of the props are easily passing. As of 11:30p last night. The lowest performing one had a 58% yes approval.
it should be criminal that props sometimes say one thing but mean so much more.

I was being sarcastic. I see little reason for the Dems to back down as they are being hurt much less than the GOP here.

Wonder if Bush will actually make the funeral. He and Cheney broke up over Bush not pardoning Scooter Libby after Libby was convicted. As a reminder, while the was on WH staff, he leaked information to the press about a CIA agent.
Bush ultimately commuted the sentence so Libby never went to prison but Bush left the $200K fine and supervised release. Trump later fully pardoned Libby.

I'm shocked the Trump WH didn't have a plan on what to do when the govt shutdown was going on for so long that the TSA and ATC are getting a little sick of working without pay.

I still have about $190K to go, but I'm slow paying it because my rate is 2.5% and that's practically free money now.
Crossing my fingers that real estate prices and interest rates won't be crazy when I'm ready to buy a place for my kids.

I'm right in the middle of both of you at 2.6% but a much smaller balance of ~$110K. I don't think I will necessarily pay it off next year but have the money earning 4%. It gives me the flexibility to use the money for something else, if needed. I imagine that when the balance is closer to 50K, I will say screw it and write a check (click the payoff button.)

I was supposed to travel on Wed to be at a wedding. My daughter was going to be the flower girl, and one of my boys was going to come with us. I am hovering over the cancel button. This fucking sucks. I can't drive 18 hours straight anymore and even if I could, that wouldn't fucking work for this shitshow. I know once I cancel it, TACO will fold. But if I don't.....
What's the next closest airport? Depending on where someone is in Houston, maybe it could be faster to catch the flight out of Beaumont or BCS, and have the return flight back into Houston.
For those with Clear, there's an additional service called Clear Concierge. It's listed as meeting you at the curb and walking you through security. I wonder if they even bypass the normal Clear line, or just walk you to the back of the line. I wouldn't normally buy this, but $100 might be worth it.

11. Raises homestead exemption for elderly and disabled. I mean, sounds good, but just like #9 this cuts $500m annually from school revenue. State says they'll make it up, but also...the state is liars. No.
First off, older Texans are far the wealthiest Texans when segmenting by age. Why not add exemptions for all poor people, and then that would cover poor senior citizens as well. Of course I know that would be unpopular in Texas, because f the poor is the attitude.
Second, how are they defining disabled? A logical answer is to look to how the federal or state govt defines someone as disabled. However there is a big concern that a high percentage of former military are labeled as disabled for long term benefits, all while they are taking on full-time civilian roles, including one with a physical labor component.
I'm 100% on board helping disabled people especially those disabled in the service of the US. I assume this will pass, so how can I go about successfully claiming I'm disabled? Surely the mental disability aspect has to be a low bar.
