The Fight for Common Sense in Our Insurance Crisis

Here in Louisiana, insurance rates, like everything else is skyrocketing, and folks are struggling. Under the Biden-Harris administration, Louisiana families have faced unprecedented inflation.
I am no stranger to experiencing problems with insurance costs. When Sharon and I lived in New Iberia we were forced to purchase a home policy from Citizens Insurance because we had no other choice. And, the cost was through the roof. As a family with a teenage child today, we know the high cost of auto insurance as well.

The woke French win the gold medal for mockery

The largest religion in the world today is Christianity with 2.4 billion followers, comprising 31% of the total population of the planet. In second place is Islam, with approximately 2 billion followers.

After Sunday’s announcement from President Joe Biden that he will not be seeking reelection after a debilitating election season that culminated in his dazed debate performance, all eyes have shifted toward his likely successor, Vice President Kamala Harris. While Biden endorsed her and she has amassed the majority of the delegates needed to win the Democratic nomination, the American people are wary.

Better off? Harris inherits Biden economy as consumer inflation still outpacing personal incomes, government data shows

With President Joe Biden no longer on the Democratic Party ticket, attention is now shifting to the new presumptive Democratic nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris. While she may indeed get a bump in the polls against former President Donald Trump taken in the aftermath of Biden’s withdrawal from the race, one thing that won’t change anytime soon is Harris will be inheriting the Biden economy and the policies that led to incipient inflation the past four years.
