Scott Rabalais Continues His "Silly Talk."

 Baton Rouge sports reporter Scott Rabalais in a commentary dated 1/4/26 in the TP/New Orleans Advocate titled, "Time for LSU to stop playing nice" was just more "silly talk" that continues to fuel the LSU-Ole Miss conversation.  Rabalais is unhappy that Lane Kiffin's offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr., will still be coaching Ole Miss in the CFP game this week with Miami.  

Rabalais also does not like the criticism hurled at Kiffin for leaving Ole Miss at a time his team was going to the CFP for the very first time and would have a chance at the National Championship.  Most coaches would not walk away from that, but Kiffin did.  

The "silly talk" about Kiffin's offensive coordinator coaching Ole Miss in the playoffs has no bearing on the future of LSU football under coach Kiffin.  This writer believes Kiffin has no allegiance to any team because of his actions and would not have hired him to coach LSU.  The buck has to stop somewhere to reverse the money madness now associated with college sports.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) Performed Better On President Biden's Watch Than It Did On Trump's Watch.

The DJIA performed better on President Biden's watch in his first year in office in 2021 than it did in President Trump's first year in office in 2025.  No one would think that the way the media and the Trump/GOP talk about Wall Street success in 2025.  The media is so committed to the Trump/GOP BS, misinformation and outright lies, they are part of the problem.  They failed to find the time to report that American employers laid off more than 1.1 million workers in 2025, the largest job layoffs since 2020 during Trump's first term in office.

When President Biden took office on January 20, 2021 the DJIA closed at 31,186.  At the end of December 31, 2021 the DJIA closed at 36,335, a gain of 5,149 or 14%.  When Trump took office on January 20, 2025 the DJIA closed at 43,487.  At the end of the year on December 31, 2025 the DJIA closed at 48,382 up 4,895 or 10%.  President Biden and the stock market had to  deal with COVID in his first year in office, Trump did not.  

Recent commentary in PolitiDose told the story how the country did better on Biden's watch in the first year concerning job creation, lower unemployment, higher GDP and a better economy overall.  Stay tuned to PolitiDose for the final summary of 2025 when the federal government will release the final numbers of Trump's first year of his second term.
