Louisiana Legislature offers few proposals for insurance crisis

The Louisiana legislature begins its annual session this week, and insurance proposals will certainly be on the front lawmaking burner. The current insurance commissioner made a really insightful statement last week. “We are currently in the midst of an insurance crisis,” Duh, you think? An insurance crisis that has been going on in Louisiana for over fifteen years, about as long as Rip Van Winkle was asleep, and it would seem that the Department of Insurance and the legislature are just waking up to the fact.

Tucker Carlson fired after Fox News-Dominion legal settlement as company commits corporate suicide

The 1970s movie and television show MASH’s theme song was eerily named, “Suicide is Painless.” The movie’s director Robert Altman wanted a song with the “stupidest lyrics ever” and after failing to write them, his fifteen year old son completed the job, earning massive songwriting royalties as a result.
Fox News’ decisions to not re-sign Dan Bongino and fire Tucker Carlson in a five-day period amount to corporate suicide, and for its formerly loyal viewers and those shareholders foolish enough to still own Fox stock, it will not be painless at all.

The NBA should play basketball, not politics

As Americans face increasing economic pressures, social unrest, escalating crime, and the prospect of nuclear war, it would be wonderful to have a variety of comforting distractions.
In previous years, Americans flocked to the movie theaters for escapism, but that simple pleasure has been destroyed by an ever-increasing appetite for “woke” morality inserted in films by the far-left Hollywood powerbrokers. The revulsion by average Americans can be seen in the anemic ratings for recent television broadcasts of the Academy Awards.

Monetary crisis: Is the Fed to blame?

Our political leaders told us that inflation is transitory, the Banking System is fine, and that deficits don’t matter as Modern Monetary Theory allows us to print as much money as we need to fund deficit spending on welfare (for the 51% of voters who do not pay taxes). They have also taught our youth that the reason why wages have failed to keep up with the cost of food, energy, shelter, public education, etc. is because Capitalism (free markets) has failed.
