Higgins Urges Department Of Transportation To Approve Mega Grant For I-10 Calcasieu River Bridge
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Clay Higgins (R-LA) is calling on Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to schedule H.R. 82, the Social Security Fairness Act, for a vote on the House floor.
The bill, which would repeal the Government Pension Offset (GPO) and Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP), exceeded 290 co-sponsors in July and was moved to the consensus calendar. However, the bill has not been formally scheduled for a vote and could be delayed until the end of November.
“We are respectfully asking Speaker Pelosi to bring the Social Security Fairness Act for a vote on the House floor. If you pay into Social Security, you should be able to collect your fair share when the time comes,” said Congressman Higgins. “Too many seniors are unfairly penalized by the GPO and WEP, and this injustice must be corrected. I am a co-sponsor of the bill, and we strongly support its passage.”
Higgins Reintroduces Legislation To Combat Foreign Seafood Dumping
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Clay Higgins (R-LA) has reintroduced H.R. 8732, the Imported Seafood Safety Standards Act of 2022, which protects American consumers and small businesses from foreign seafood dumping.
The bill prohibits the import of foreign seafood that fails to meet U.S. standards for seafood manufacturing, processing, and holding. It also establishes a program for foreign seafood inspection and imposes real penalties for importers and countries that routinely violate U.S. laws.
Historically, only a small percentage of seafood imports have been inspected as they enter the United States, and foreign bad actors often use illegal additives while relying on enslaved workers to harvest seafood. These bad actors are notorious for falsely labeling imports to avoid detection by the FDA. This irresponsible and illegal dumping of seafood imports hurts American consumers and the Gulf seafood industry.
The full bill text is available here.
Congressman Higgins issued the following statement:
"Congress must act against illegal seafood dumping. Foreign seafood imports should be held to American standards. The seafood industry is a critical part of Louisiana’s culture and economy. This legislation combats illegal foreign seafood dumping and protects American producers.”

LOUISIANA FAMILY FORUM: Disney Promotes Antichrist During LSU opener
Over the weekend, Louisiana Congressman Mike Johnson called attention to a deeply disturbing ad run by Disney and FX during the LSU season opener:
The shocking ending to the LSU opener was not the most disturbing part of the game last night. For me, that came during a commercial break in the second quarter when the television audience was presented with the trailer for a new FX cartoon “sitcom” entitled, “LITTLE DEMON.”
I couldn’t get to the remote fast enough to shield my 11-year-old from the preview, and I wonder how many other children were exposed to it—and how many millions more will tune in to the new series, owned and marketed by DISNEY.
The trailer included dark images of Hell, demons, and satanic imagery, and an explanation that the main character is… the Antichrist(!).
Disney provides this surreal description: “Thirteen years after being impregnated by Satan, a reluctant mother, Laura, and her Antichrist daughter, Chrissy, attempt to live an ordinary life in Delaware, but are constantly thwarted by monstrous forces, including Satan, who yearns for custody of his daughter’s soul.”
After explaining more about the dark background of the TV series, Congressman Mike Johnson concluded:
I could write volumes this morning, and unpack pages of Bible verses here, but instead I’m just going to state the obvious: Please be careful. Our job as parents is to guard the hearts and minds of our kids. This culture has become alarmingly dark and desensitized and this is not a game. Disney and FX have decided to embrace and market what is clearly evil. STAY FAR FROM IT.
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.” (1 Peter 5:8)
Amen, Congressman Johnson. Thank you for standing for families, our children, and for being a gospel-bearer!
LAGOP: Biden's Speech Last Night Was Dangerous and Disrespectful to Millions of Americans
Last night we were treated to just over twenty-four minutes of an angry, bitter, and downright nasty campaign speech by Joseph Biden. The speech was delivered to a smallish crowd within Independence Hall against an odd blood-red backdrop as he was inappropriately flanked by two marines, who should not have been present for a campaign speech. It was obviously intended to be the opening phase of the final push by the Democrats to preserve their majorities in both chambers of Congress.
Like so much else that has gone wrong with this presidency, the speech was a failure, but it was not just a simple political mistake. No, in fact it did terrific damage to a sorely divided nation and worsened a widening partisan divide. Under the pretense of attempting to bring the country together (under Democrat control, of course), Biden had the temerity to demonize the seventy-four MILLION American voters who pulled the lever for Donald Trump in 2020.
He persisted throughout the speech in accusing the Republicans of every sin that the Democrats had been flagrantly committing for years- lawlessness and disrespect for the police, class hatred, undermining respect for our governmental institutions and elections, etc., etc. Joseph Goebbels, Propaganda Minister of the Third Reich, once wrote, “If you tell a lie, tell a big one.” Goebbels would have heartily approved of the Democrats’ political tactic of accusing your opponent of every sin your side was committing in spades. On a human level, the psychiatrist Sigmund Freud called this “projection,” the mental process by which people attribute to others what is in their own minds.
“Equality and democracy are under assault,” Biden railed, and indeed they are, but not by Republicans. He then went on to assert that “MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution…” even as we fight to preserve it. He accused Republicans of “a willingness to engage in political violence…” ignoring the tens of billions of dollars in damage and dozens of lives lost in over a hundred riots instigated or condoned by Democrats. “We are in a battle for the soul of this nation….” Well, he got that one right.
Insurrection was the underlying theme of his speech, even though the publicly acknowledged intention of Joe Biden’s administration has been to “transform” the country against the wishes of the great majority of its citizens. (He somehow failed to mention this goal during his campaign.) But as stated above, the greatest fault of the speech was his repeatedly expressed view that his Republican opponents (you know, the folks who make up the party founded in 1854 which opposed slavery and then saved the Union), are disloyal and dangerous Americans. For this alone Joe Biden can never be forgiven.
Perhaps the only (unintended) lighter moment of the speech occurred when Biden asserted “I give you my word as a Biden, I’ve never been more optimistic about America’s future…” This from the man who cheated in law school, plagiarized his speeches, reversed his positions on virtually every major issue he espoused over a fifty year political career, and then ran for the presidency of the United States under false pretenses as a moderate Democrat!
I would never have voted for Biden even if I were a Democrat because of his repeated moral failings, his advanced years and obvious mental decline, and of course Obama’s warnings about his inadequacies for the job back when Joe was his vice president. But last night Joe Biden cemented his position as one of the two or three very worst presidents in our nation’s history, and he is trending downwards from there.
May our country survive this presidency!
