Louisiana Voice

A sharp-eyed reader has reminded me of a LouisianaVoice post of three years and one month ago, on Oct. 1, 2023, in which it was noted that two members of the Louisiana congressional delegation voted to deprive about 2 million active-duty members of our armed forces their paychecks and to halt certain law enforcement activity altogether.

Come November 2024, remember that Mike Johnson and Clay Higgins wanted to paralyze government operations | Louisiana Voice

That was the occasion in which four members voted in favor of the last-minute bill to avert a government shutdown—but two didn’t.

Even Julia Letlow and Steve Scalise voted in favor of the bill, along with Garret Graves and Troy Carter but Speaker Mike Johnson and law and order bigot Clay Higgins voted no.

We should not need to be reminded that a lot of military personnel live in Johnson’s 4th District (Barksdale AFB and Ft. Polk) and Higgins is a former law enforcement communications officer who once boasted incorrectly—a-la Donald Trump—of the “thousands of arrests” he’d made. With that in mind, it’s a little puzzling why they would vote for a shutdown that could inflict serious economic harm on military personnel and law enforcement officers.

This was less than four weeks before Johnson was elected Speaker of the House and despite the passage of temporary funding until Nov. 17—despite the votes of Johnson and Higgins—there remained the possibility of a full shutdown which would have seen mail delivery come to a screeching halt, a slowdown in Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid complaint resolutions, cessation of SNAP meals for women, infants and children, a run on food pantries and food banks as federal employees would have found themselves without paychecks.

So, as you go to the polls Tuesday, keep in mind that these two court jesters do not care for their constituents. They only concern is keeping one other bloated, orange-tinted clown happy.

And lest one mistakenly get the impression I was heaping praise on Letlow, here is a reminder for you:

Letlow said she would have joined the majority of Republican representatives in OBJECTING TO THE RESULTS of the 2020 presidential election in Congress had she been in office at the time.

And let’s not forget one other little factoid about Letlow, who INVESTED IN META STOCK, according to the Louisiana Illuminator, after signing a nondisclosure agreement (NDA) with a Meta shell company that provided her with insider information about a $50 billion data center project in Richland Parish.

So, basically, it’s going to come down to you voting for those who put their self-interests first or who will actually represent their constituents if elected. It’s a simple choice, folks—really simple.

Social Security is intended to be a non-political, non-partisan program, designed to provide financial support to retirees and disabled individuals regardless of political affiliation. However, it often becomes a focal point in political debates, especially regarding funding and reforms, which can politicize its administration and perception.

Social Security was controversial when originally proposed, with one point of opposition being that it would reduce the labor force, but supporters argued instead that retiring older workers would free up employment for young men, which during the Depression was a vital point of concern.

Opponents also decried the proposal as socialism.

So, if Social Security is non-political, non-partisan, why is the administration of Cadet Bone Spurs trying to hard in the closing days of the mid-term campaign to convince voters that it’s his administration that doing such a wonderful job with the program which has been around since the Great Depression?

And if Republikkkans were so determine to label FDR’s Social Security proposal as socialistic when it was first introduced in 1935, what has changed over the past 91 years that would convince the Pedo-President to use it as a tool to promote his agenda?

In other words, why in the world would Loaded Dirty Diaper Don send out those unsolicited messages touting the wonderful job his administration is doing with all those wonderful SS benefits?

On Oct. 15, just a couple of weeks before the critical midterm elections, American households began receiving a second mass mailout from the Social Security Administration “bombarding” voters with “blatantly partisan emails” promoting what passes for a Trump administration, according to YAHOO NEWS.

That the second time such messaging had gone out to voters from the Social Security Administration. THE FIRST WAS SENT IN JULY and just this past week, a third message was sent, raising concern over the administration’s willingness to politicize agencies into being used as partisan tools by the White House:

One can only surmise if Obama or Biden had done something similar, Republikkkans would’ve been all over it like a monkey on a cupcake.

But isn’t it peculiar how the GOP (Guardians of Pedophiles) can ignore Trump’s lifting of sanctions on Russia, the Russian diesel deal, the use of federal agencies as a shill for the party, the Epstein files, runaway inflation, the war with Iran and the TUNGSTEN MINING DEAL with Kazakhstan that will enrich the Trump family and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick—with their only response being, “…but Hunter Biden’s laptop!”?

Maybe the pedo-president thought he was a she in reverse drag.

Maybe he thought it was a Halloween costume that confused him.

Whatever the reason, when a reporter was asked by a reporter what “proof” he had that LT. GEN. BRETT SYLVIA leaked classified information, Golden Shower Boy curiously replied, “She’s got problems. She’s gonna have big problems. We’re very much looking for leakers and she’s gonna have big problems—long-term problems.”

Sylvia, a 30-year career officer, is being investigated for allegedly leaking classified information to journalists about the Iran war, Russia’s war in Ukraine and other matters.

If this is like other administration investigations, it will almost certainly amount to a big nothing burger. They’re trying for a third time to prosecute James Comey after failing on the first two efforts. Trump’s ass-clown show has also “investigated” Jack Smith, Cassidy Hutchinson, Rep. Ilhan Omar, a former Olympic cyclist and Sen. Mark Kelly and word is Pope Leo may be next. Okay, the Pope Leo part was over the top but you get the idea how this packed diaper’s paranoia borders on complete nuttiness.

It’s no longer amusing to watch him accuse anyone who dares disagree with him of treason when it’s abundantly apparent he couldn’t recite the definition of treason if you held a gun to his head.

MAGHATS have accused critics of having TDS but the truth is, if anyone has TDS, it’s his mouth-breathing base because, you see, Trump is himself the carrier of the affliction, the one responsible for the spread of the dreaded dysfunctional disorder.

And those who continue to defend him, whether they be Republikkkan members of Congress or typical borderline low-IQ white supremists, you’re grasping at extremely thin reeds. You’d be much wiser picking a dedicated school teacher for a role model—someone who perhaps tried in vain to teach you to read and comprehend—than a felon convicted of sexual assault. Or you could just go with Willie Sutton; at least he was up front about being a bank robber.

When a top military general is fired, and he becomes the subject of an “investigation,” one might expect the Pedophile-in-Chief to at least know his gender. I mean, after all, Rep. Dan Bishop demanded in 2022 that a Democrat witness “define a woman.” Karma can be a real bitch, can’t it?

But then maybe Trump has just been looking at men’s asses too long.
