President Trump is suggesting that the national guard could be used in additional American cities besides the nation’s capital, and has included New Orleans on his list. I have no problem with this, but we need to do a lot more on our own here in Louisiana.
Democrat favorability has plunged among swing voters since 2017, the year before the 2018 midterm election cycle when Democrats won a net gain of 41 seats in the House of Representatives, taking back control of the House for the first time in eight years. Democrats are hoping to repeat that strategy in 2026, but the political landscape has changed — a lot.

When our Founders drafted the Constitution, they intended that Congress would keep the judiciary as the “least powerful” branch of government and see to it that judges “should be bound down by strict rules and precedents, which serve to define and point out their duty.” (as Alexander Hamilton wrote in Federalist 78).

New Orleans is the most unique city in the United States, a 307-year-old gem of beauty, history, and culture. With so many wonderful attractions, New Orleans should have a thriving economy, a wealthy population, and excellent public services. Instead, New Orleans is in a perpetual state of crisis, with decaying infrastructure, dilapidated streets, rampant violent crime, substandard public schools, a poor economy, and public officials who are either inept or corrupt.
