Louisiana Voice

There can be no question that we now live in extremely perilous times.

We have allowed a mentally deranged tyrant to go about destroying freedoms and lives with impunity.

Even worse, we have remained as mere onlookers as the checks and balances installed in our Constitution are ignored.

Worse still, we have just in Louisiana, elected officials who have the ability – but not the willingness or courage – to step up and say, “Whoa. What you’re doing is wrong and it must stop.”

I shouldn’t have to, but just for clarity, I’ll name those officials: Steve Scalise, Clay Higgins, Julia Letlow, Mike Johnson John Neely Kennedy and Bill Cassidy. These six have no souls, no backbones, no sense of responsibility to their constituents, the Bill of Rights or the Constitution. Throw in Jeff Landry and you have the Not-So-Magnificent-Seven.

That is precisely why blogs such as LouisianaVoice are so very important. No one from the mainstream media is stepping up to the plate to challenge the lies, distortions and disinformation spewed from the vulgar mouth of TACO Don or to question the tactics of the man who calls himself a governor but in reality is only a squeaky toy for Trump.

Instead, the media are, one by one, capitulating to Trump’s threats, imtimidation and coercion. Likewise, law firms and institutions of higher learning, fearing the loss of federal grants or contracts, cave to this man, settling lawsuits and agreeing to unthinkable conditions.

That’s why LouisianaVoice conducts two fundraisers per year: to keep the flow of information coming so you may judge for yourself the harm being done to America and Louisiana. We’re not going to change the world on our own; I’m not that delusional. But by working with others like us to get the word out, perhaps, just perhaps, we can. I wanted to retire this blog at one time. But concern for my grandchilden’s very future won’t let me do so in good conscience.

Please, if you share our concern for the direction of our republic, do whatever you can to keep the word coming. Click on the YELLOW DONATE BUTTON at the upper right of this post to make a one-time contribution by credit card. Your help is sincerely appreciated.
