On the one hand, you have to admit that Gov. Landry’s decision to prohibit recipients of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits from using those benefits to purchase soft drinks, energy drinks or candy is a good thing, right up there with the prohibition of buying liquor and tobacco products.
On the other hand, you have to scratch your head and wonder why it took a bona fide nut case like Robert Kennedy, Jr. to convince Landry to take the long overdue action.
“Gone are the days of taxpayers subsidizing unhealthy lifestyles and eating habits,” Landry announced somewhat self-righteously, adding that Louisiana is now officially participating in Kennedy’s Make America Health Again (MAHA) movement.
The state’s Surgeon General (read: political payoff recipient) Dr. Ralph Abraham added that the change in state policy governing SNAP benefits is “phenomenal” and that “Good nutrition is a critical piece of living a healthy life.”
Seriously? It took someone like brain-worm-infected Robert Kennedy to convince these two clowns that Cokes and Snickers don’t constitute the best eating habits?
To me, it just seems the MAGHATS are just sitting back and waiting for the next catchphrase to be handed them by the shallow-thinking “leaders” in the Beltway who don’t seem to be able to think beyond the next snappy slogan to fire up their base.
As evidence of this, I offer as evidence:
- “Witch-hunt”
- “Hoax”
- “Lock her up”
- “Woke”
- “Trade wars”
- “Alternative facts”
- “Bigly”
- “Antifa”
- “China virus”
- *“America first”
- “Deep state”
- “Fake news”
- “Enemy of the people”
- “Loser”
- “Owning the libs”
- “Alt-right”
Originality, it seems, is not their strong suit.

I think most MAGAS lack the attribute for thinking for themselves!
