LaBoyteaux–Thoughts for Kamala
Economy First! It is where we live everyday. Agree that Health Care and other support for working families is up front important. Trump wanted to kill the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) but had no replacement. Still does not so far as I know. But how to address the general state of the economy, food prices,Continue reading →
LaBoyteaux–I Would Be In Jail, And Should Be
I hope others can find better words to address the Supreme Court’s decision about immunity for former President Donald Trump from criminal prosecution. On this web site I often try to address issues as if I was actually the sitting president. If I asked the Justice Department to help me overturn an election, I shouldContinue reading →
LaBoyteaux–Heat Wave and Other Stuff
If you are caught in the extreme heat wave in the U.S. or on your way to Mecca and no AC? Drink plenty of WATER, stay hydrated, 12-24 oz per hour in extreme heat, not soda, not alcohol. Don’t hesitate to take a cold shower with your clothes on, light cotton clothes are best andContinue reading →
LaBoyteaux–Absolutely Bizarre Ridiculous
I’m talking about the Supreme Court overturning the bump stock ban. A bump stock allows certain semi-automatic rifles, notably assault rifles to fire at the same rate as a fully automatic version, a machine gun. The shooter’s finger is on the trigger but the recoil of the gun is pushing the finger. It is automatic,Continue reading →
LaBoyteaux–This Memorial Day
Mr. Netanyahu says the Israeli attack on a displaced persons camp in Rafah, killing at least 45, was “a terrible mistake” How many terrible mistakes does it take to add up to 35,000 dead? This Memorial Day I’ve been thinking of my parents who served in WWII, my father’s unit landing first in Africa andContinue reading →
LaBoyteaux–A Bright Shining Light and, maybe, A Really Bad Smell
Proud of my country early this week for approving military aid to Ukraine, delayed too long by partisan bickering. In the end the vote was about 75% in favor in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. I had withheld comment on any other subject since March for whatever good my little blog mightContinue reading →
LaBoyteaux–Get It Done, Ukraine Aid
Not next month, not next week, Ukraine needs U.S. aid immediately or will likely loose their war of survival against Russia. I am disgusted to the point of being sick about the political games and leveraging being played with Ukraine aid. No excuses! Do the right thing! Just get it done. Just get it done.
LaBoyteaux–The Supreme Court
The Supreme Court yesterday agreed to hear Donald Trump’s appeal and claim that he has absolute immunity from prosecution for alleged crimes, election interference and classified documents. The D.C. trial court and unanimous opinion of the appeal court ruled he did not have immunity. With the hearing scheduled for late April, it may notContinue reading →
LaBoyteaux–Ukraine
Maybe I can find better words later. Distraught and disgusted this morning that our country is abandoning Ukraine, a democratic country fighting for its life against Russian dictator Putin. Have we forgotten the fundamental lesson of WWII, that expansionist dictators are never satisfied, cannot be appeased and have to be stopped. Donald Trump told SenateContinue reading →
LaBoyteaux-He’s Over The Top Again
This morning Donald Trump said he would tell Russia to, “do whatever the hell they wanted” with NATO countries that had not paid enough into the alliance. If you read through this web site you will see that I have pretty well avoided names and tried to focus on issues. But Trump is over theContinue reading →
