Things are heating up in Lafayette, La over the vaccine mandate for hospital employees. The entire letter is posted at the source.

It appears as though our government along with big medicine wants to impose a totally needless and expensive medical approach to combating Covid-19 when a proven, inexpensive drug already exist, ivermectin. Our legal rights already include our ability to dictate procedures as they pertain to our life or death when our "Do Not Resuscitate" statement is enforced. It stands to reason that our wishes as to which protocol is followed should we be infected with Covid-19 would be just as legally sound. Imagine what the numbers would look like if Ivermectin was applied to the battle to rid us of...

By refusing to hear the Texas case against allowing Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Georgia to ignore the Constitutional requirement that only state legislatures control federal election laws, the supreme court (I used lower case intentionally) has ruled the Constitution dead and meaningless as it pertains to elections. This means that none of us has to respect the intended meaning of "January 2oth". The court says there is no longer a need to assume that law exist in this country or whatever it is without a government interested in anything other than enslaving us.I would like to suggest to President Trump...

The Fourteenth Amendment says that we are all equal under the law. I would submit that this is exactly where the Supreme Court throws out all late and mail-in ballots without proper authentication. If "my" vote was in person at the polling place, my identity and eligibility to vote were checked and authorized, and my signature required, any vote not requiring these things and in fact not even requiring a valid identification or signature is in no way legally provable or equal to mine as far as authentication goes. If such garbage is allowed from some voters while others like...

It has become quite obvious that Joe Biden is owned, lock, stock and barrel by the Chinese Government. Trump's new slogan should remind voters that it was China who gave us the COVID-19 nightmare and that because he is owned by the Chinese, Joe Biden is their next gift to the United States of America. Are we really going to accept ANYTHING else from China after what we've been through? Mister President, please drive this point home to the American voters.

Members of the LSU football team marched on campus Friday, in the latest demonstration by athletes in the wake of the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Wisconsin. Players marched from Tiger Stadium through campus and toward the office of LSU interim president Tom Galligan. The group included senior safety JaCoby Stevens, quarterback Myles Brennan, receiver Ja’Marr Chase and many more. "It's time to stand up," linebacker Soni Fonua said in a video posted live on Instagram, as he walked with teammates.

Doctors have risked their necks coming forward with what they know about how effective Hydroxychloroquine + Zinc + Azithromycin has been when used in the initial stages of Covid-19 prior to the time that ones immune system goes into overdrive trying to fight the virus. The success rate has been PROVEN to be incredible yet many states and government agencies have banned its use. The media has joined in with the misrepresentations as well and the results have been that many Americans have simply been sentenced to death by their own government.It's easy to blame the Democrats, Liberals, Dr. Fauci,...

LSU has created a committee to evaluate the names of buildings on campus and decide if any need to be changed because they are “a reminder of a racist and segregated past.” The 16-member committee is made up of faculty, staff, students and alumni. In June, the LSU Board of Supervisors voted to remove Troy H. Middleton’s name from the university library. Middleton is a former LSU president who voiced support for segregation in letters. Hours after the vote, Middleton’s name and bust were removed from the building. Troy H. Middleton's name removed from LSU library hours after Board approval...

With this latest insult to it's majority white fan base, LSU and many of it's former black basketball players put their skin tones above what is best for the school and it's support from fans in another display of total ignorance in support of Black Lives Matter. How many more insults can a state financed institution throw at it's fans who just want to be left alone? That the school actively supports this effort and that it is occurring during an election year is criminal. The leftist behind all of this have destroyed one thing after another in their demonic...

I am sure this is the first of many college programs that will go full NFL activist. Their fans will be severely divided by this and rightly so. Sports, Music, Acting, Arts, all of them need to stick with their specialty rather than engage in divisive politics. It looks like college football is next on the liberal chopping block. Get ready.

Since anything having to do with "slavery" is taboo it appears that we must rename all of the original thirteen colonies as well as any other state that once had slavery within it's borders. Just changing the names of a few military bases isn't going to cut the mustard. So far, the name changers and statue destroyers have picked on easy fruit, monuments to dead white folks. What are they waiting for? Let's get right to the main event and start demanding that the States themselves change their names.Governor Northam, it's your turn to be a hero and have the...

Today, Governor John Bel Edwards and the Louisiana Department of Health outlined a plan for COVID-19 testing and tracking that would hire as many as 700 Louisianans to serve as “contact tracers,” interviewing and advising people who have tested positive to determine who in their lives could also be at risk. This week, LDH signed a contract with Accenture and Salesforce to manage Louisiana’s contact tracing process, using two Louisiana-based call centers with 100 percent Louisiana agents. The training for these contact tracers will be managed by LSU’s Stephenson Disaster Management Institute. While hiring will be statewide the initial locations...

This nation was totally shut down for ONE reason. That is what we were told at the time. That reason was to "flatten the curve", meaning to enable time for our medical capabilities to catch up with the need for treatment. There is ample evidence that even in our worst hit area of New York City that this in fact has been accomplished. The USS Comfort, provided as an overflow hospital option to the city in the heat of the battle, has been sent packing and according to New York is no longer needed.Across the country, hospitals have plenty of...

If ever there was a need for a government-sponsored temporary employment project now is the time. President Trump should authorize a shovel-ready jobs program for those Americans who need help to finish building the wall along the US-Mexican border. This would do two things that are needed. The first of which is to address the national security issue of stopping the corona virus from entering the country from the south. The second is to provide economic support for those who need work. It would seem to me that with all of the compassion coming forth from democrat governors all across...

The Coronavirus presents itself as a health challenge as well as an economic challenge to present day America. Certainly, preventing the wide scale spread of this virus is a top priority to our health agencies as well as government. Addressing the effect on the nation's economy that this virus has already had as well as the actual shortages of vital medical supplies which originate in China as well as other economic supply chain issues are also hurdle's to cross. One would think that companies currently having manufacturing done in China would love to have another location present itself to them...

The Constitution gives the power of impeachment solely to the House of Representatives. It means that only the House can do the discovery phase of gathering evidence and then putting together Articles of Impeachment to then present to the Senate for the Senate to judge. The Senate can ONLY judge that which the House has constructed and presented. Any witnesses can ONLY be from the witnesses who are included in the Articles presented by the House.Asking the Senate to help the discovery phase by introducing new evidence at an impeachment trial is the same thing as asking a judge or...

Major cities run by Democrat policies for the past forty or so years all have one thing in common, a decaying inner core where buildings are rotting, property values are tanking and jobs are non-existent. President Trump has put the spotlight recently on Baltimore and it appears to be making headway out in the rest of the country that yes, there is a problem, one that has been long standing yet virtually ignored. How do you reverse this trend? Sinking more and more government led solutions hasn't done the trick. Perhaps it's time to let private enterprise take a shot...

This thread is for posting the latest information as it concerns Tropical Storm Barry.

Many who might not be interested might want to know that the National Fixed League is once again performing it's make-believe championship game later today in Atlanta, Georgia. We are being promised political knee jobs during the halftime show as well as real-looking referees handling the football portion of the show.

The Bureau of the Fiscal Service may accept gifts donated to the United States Government to reduce debt held by the public. Acting for the Secretary of the Treasury, Fiscal Service may accept a gift of: Money, only on the condition that it be used to reduce debt held by the public.Ask your congressman and Senator to offer legislation adding the border wall to this provision. We the people should not be blocked from funding something that we want done if we are willing to pay for it. Congress keeping us from doing so is not constitutional as it goes...
