LANDRY: Democrats Should Start Gun Control Debate on IRS Agents
The job listing says:
As a Special Agent you will combine your accounting skills with law enforcement skills to investigate financial crimes. Special Agents are duly sworn law enforcement officers who are trained to “follow the money.” No matter what the source, all income earned, both legal and illegal, has the potential of becoming involved in crimes which fall within the investigative jurisdiction of the IRS Criminal Investigation. Because of the expertise required to conduct these complex financial investigations, IRS Special Agents are considered the premier financial investigators for the Federal government.

JOHNSON: National Debt Is Our Greatest Crisis
The Congressional Budget Office’s (CBO) newly issued long-term budget outlook ought to be required reading for members of Congress. Why? Because Congress is rushing to pass yet another big government spending and tax package, it’s obvious few have read it.
CBO does not say it in so many words, but the report brings to mind former New Jersey Gov. Richard Codey’s quip: “The good news is, we’re not bankrupt. The bad news is, we’re close.”

EMERSON: Anti-abortion law in Louisiana protects the lives of babies and mothers in emergencies
The following was a guest column from Louisiana State Rep. Julie Emerson (R), District 39 - Carencro
To quote Solicitor General Liz Murrill, there’s been a lot of “paint thrown at the wall” to challenge Louisiana’s Human Life Protection Act (Act 545 of 2022), which protects babies from abortion after the reversal of Roe v. Wade. I was a proud co-author of the bill and carried it on the House floor for Sen. Katrina Jackson, D-Monroe. Importantly, every female state senator and a majority of the female members of the House of Representatives voted in support of Act 545. Elective abortion is not health care, and unborn babies deserve a chance at life just like you and me.

LAGOP: The Raid of President Trump's Home
The August 8th raid on the residence of former President Trump is a precarious harbinger for the United States of America. The idea that the home of a former Chief Executive of the United States would be searched and then documents and materials seized in a fashion similar to a high level white collar or even dangerous criminal is startling and troubling. No one is above the law, but no one should be beneath the law, nor beyond the framework of respect due an ordinary citizen. A simple subpoena or call to Trump’s lawyers would have been a more appropriate action.
A politically-motivated and controlled Federal Bureau of Investigations and Department of Justice are two of the most dangerous things we can have in the United States of America. All aspects of investigations in our country must be politically-agnostic, and the actions of the DOJ (which includes the FBI) reek of partisanship and an effort end the political life of an individual who happens to in opposition to the current presidential administration. The events of 8 August on the face seem to be politically motivated and part of the effort to squash both an individual and a political movement.
The LAGOP resolutely stands for the rule of law throughout the United States of America. All citizens in this country deserves EVERY aspect of due process, the presumption of innocence and equal treatment under the law. Law enforcement, intelligence and the armed forces of this country must be politically neutral and in place ONLY to serve the public interest and to protect the integrity and safety of our citizenry and our country. What we have seen unfold in the news in the last 24 hours is troubling at best, and should give all Louisianians pause and concern. The LAGOP calls on all facets of law enforcement to resist being weaponized for any political purposes. Our republic will rise and fall on the principles of this country being run by the consent of the governed, and not at the whims of political bickering between parties.
If the United States and subsequently Louisiana are to remain free, we must all make a concerted to hold all facets of government and especially those executing governmental duties accountable for their actions. If the FBI and DOJ discover criminality in their searches, so be it. If they do not, they are duty bound to report both their actions and the results of the earth-shattering developments of the 8th of August, 2022. In turn, if the FBI and DOJ are engaging in criminal behavior, then they should be held accountable. If one person in our nation loses his or her civil liberties in a manner than is outside the bounds of law, then the liberties of all are in jeopardy. Free people should not fear their government, and the government should not behave in a way that intimidates, intrudes nor creates an atmosphere of fear.

Statement by Chairman Gurvich on the Mar-a-Lago Raid
“These are dark times for our nation…”
President Donald Trump
Late yesterday afternoon, a small army of FBI agents, some armed with machine guns, descended on the private home of Donald Trump. The unannounced raid was carried out pursuant to a search warrant issued under the authority of no less a federal statute than the Presidential Archives Act. (Yes, you read that correctly.) Now in order to gauge the seriousness of this grievous breach of presidential decorum, you should know that this is the first such raid ever conducted against a sitting or former president of the United States in the two hundred and forty-six years of this republic, and it was conducted in the name of the Presidential Archives Act!
During the raid the FBI agents ransacked the President’s private home, broke into at least one safe, and removed numerous boxes of paper. Fortunately, the President was not at home and was spared the personal indignity of being present during the search and seizure. You can be assured that this was no accident, however- the raid must have been carefully planned at the highest levels of the Department of Justice (if not the White House itself) several weeks in advance.
Now the matter almost certainly could have been handled with negotiations and, if necessary, a subpoena and a hearing, but that is not how the progressive Democrats running this administration do things. They are all about the propaganda value of the moment (which explains the timing of the raid, just as folks were returning home to their TVs) and how it would further their pursuit of raw power by any means. Neither presidential decorum nor hundreds of years of precedent concern them in the least, because they do not care about the health of our republic; quite the contrary.
And once more their victim is Donald Trump, whose home was invaded even as Hillary Clinton remains unaccountable for the massive security breaches, email deletions, and much else, while no one in the Biden family has yet been indicted despite decades of illegal and unethical influence peddling and sundry other crimes too numerous to list in this space.
There is most certainly a double standard evident here, but please understand that this double standard is only one result of the intrigues of the progressive Democrats running the Biden administration. Their real goal is to tear down this republic to its roots and rebuild it on Marxist principles which will ultimately take away our dearly won rights as Americans. Dark days, indeed!
That, my friends, is the real nature of the on-going war that we have been fighting since at least the early Obama years. We have a major battle to win on Election Day, November 8th.
So if you want to save your country, your lifestyle, and a future for your children, vote Republican on November 8th. And if you’ve had enough of Democrat judicial tyranny, you might also wish to join the Republican Party of Louisiana. Just go to Geauxvote.com and click on Online Voter Registration. Most folks can save themselves a trip to the registrar of voters’ office and register to vote or change their party registration online. Join us and help make the difference!
