The City of New Orleans: Another One Of Many Safe and Happy Madri Gras.

 The City of New Orleans celebrated another one of many safe and happy Mardi Gras in 2026 thanks to all of those in authority charged with the responsibility of keeping City and its people safe.  And thanks to all the people, local and otherwise who over the years have helped to keep the event safe.

Despite the uptick in crime several years ago it is well to remember that the City has overall been a safe place.  The Madri Gras years, the Super Bowl years, The Jazz Fest years, The French Quarter Celebration Years, The Sugar Bowl Years, Bourbon Street in general and other entertainment that comes to the City and etc. etc., that take place every year with people standing shoulder to shoulder have been relatively safe.  The City has to stay prepared for any event, but lets not be overwhelmed.  We should be willing to report on and talk about the safe times and years and what the City has to offer.  

Now with a new year and a new administration in City Hall, let us look to the future for continued progress for the City and it's people.  Report the good things that take place more often and be objective about a brighter future for all.  And yes my fellow Americans, learning from the mistakes of the past is still the best way for a better future.

Louisiana's GOP U.S. Senate Candidates Are In A Race To The Bottom:

 The GOP Clowns running against present U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy for the November congressional elections have already started their attacks on each other and Cassidy is leasing the way with his own attack adds.  It reflects the sign of the times of a toxic republican party and their race to the bottom of the barrel.  Their attacks on each other only confirms their unfitness for the office they seek.

The Clowns are Trump and the party's ditto heads with no record of accomplishments.  The media will be no help to bringing clarity to the people because they have already accepted Trump and the party's lies and misrepresentations as facts.  And now, the media suddenly wants to question why no democrat is running for the office as a candidate.  The media and Louisiana have chosen sides ever since Trump became a candidate and they chose Trump and his party.

Through it all, the democratic party has remained the only SANE political party and will find the right time to field more democratic candidates.  There will be more democratic like John B. Edwards candidates in the future of Louisiana politics that will lead the state and the nation to a better time of Constitutional governing.  

The future of Louisiana is to be a democratic state once again, and when it takes place, you will have read it here first in PolitiDose, your daily dose of political commentary.
