Our work from around Louisiana
Debunking some election misinformation… AGAIN!
Here we go again. Secretary of State Nancy Landry is doing a fantastic job here in Louisiana. However, the ‘election integrity’ crowd is at it again. This time, they’re digging up an old ‘concern’ we’ve already addressed multiple times. However, instead of telling you they’re wrong (which they are), I’ll take you through the process I used to prove it… again.

[Citizens for a New Louisiana] works very, very hard to let the public know what’s going on. Without them and what they do nobody knows anything except what the elite leftists media wants them to know. Thank GOD for their answering the call to be our voice to the state.

I can understand why someone would try to duplicate what they are doing at Citizens but alas, that's a trap. They make it look easy. It isn't.

Other groups talk about "doing research" but it’s just watching videos and podcasts from shock jock crazies.

Why Louisiana won’t reopen without Edwards
What's playing out, real-time, in Louisiana right now is exactly what everyone knew would happen five months ago. No, I'm not talking about the Wuhan virus. Back in January, the Louisiana speaker of the House was bought and paid for. Thanks to 35 Democratic party...

Yes, Josh Guillory can stop the taxing districts
Many regular readers will remember that the council introduced five new tax districts on November 19th. That was only THREE-DAYS after they were re-elected on November 16th. After all, they couldn't very well have announced their intention to immediately raise your...
How shrinking government can finally get the grass cut

Team Carlee’s revenge?
Reminder: red text links to source material. No one expected that the Lafayette Republican Party would be the point of the spear in Lafayette's recent Mayoral race. That's because their engagement was far and above what any local party has attained across the entire...
Stop Lafayette’s taxation without representation
