Editorial

Several business groups in Louisiana, including the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry, have suggested that the state do away with the election of judges and the undue influence of campaign funds. Their proposal would be to follow the federal path of appointment. But is the appointive process really better than electing judges? Do citizens get better choices and more competent jurists? Certainly not the way the system works at the federal level.

Almost everything about the Economic/Financial Crisis being discussed today originates from one thing: Fiat Money, aka “Paper Money” not backed by gold. Regardless of the topic, whether it be Inflation, the Debt Crisis, Banking Crisis, Insurance Crisis, Education Crisis, Illegal Immigration Crisis, vote buying, the coming Social Security Crisis and multi-State Budget Crisis (when the federal bait money dries up), and the Wealth Gap between the rich and middle class/poor—they all stem from Fiat Money where deficits don’t matter.

What happened to Joe Scarborough? At one point, he was considered a conservative Republican congressman from Florida. Today, he is a disgraceful fool spouting a never-ending array of talking points for President Joe Biden on cable news. His credibility as a journalist, although never very impressive, has completely evaporated.
His performances on MSNBC have become so laughable that the comparisons to “Baghdad Bob” are impossible to ignore. Of course, “Baghdad Bob,” was Saddam Hussein’s Information Minister, Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf.
