Rep. Garret Graves Questions Secretary Pete Buttigieg About DOT Grant Funding
Landry wants funding withheld from NOLA due to abortion ban enforcement
“As Attorney General and member of the Bond Commission, it is my belief that a parish or municipality should not benefit from the hard-working taxpayers of this State while ignoring laws validly enacted by the people through their representatives,” said Attorney General Landry. “In light of the City’s open defiance of the will of the people of Louisiana, I urge the Bond Commission to defer any applications for the City of New Orleans, Orleans Parish, and any local governmental entity or political subdivision under its purview. In addition, any other funding that will directly benefit the City of New Orleans should also be paused until such time as the Council, Mayor, Chief of Police, Sheriff, and District Attorney have met with and affirmed that they will comply with and enforce the laws of this State and cooperate with any state officials who may be called upon to enforce them.”

Peterson pushed Edwards campaign, Democratic Party to work with firms in fraud scheme
Karen Carter Peterson pushed for the Louisiana Democratic Party to award a contract worth tens of thousands of dollars to a New Orleans political consulting firm just a few weeks before the 2019 primary election for governor. That’s according to the state party’s executive director at the time, who says he questioned Peterson, then the party chair, before learning Gov. John Bel Edwards’ campaign was OK with the deal.

Nothing Curative About Dems Inflation, Higher Taxes and Prices
Congressional Democrats are one step closer to passing their trillion-dollar "Build Back Better" spending package.
On July 6 U.S. Senate leaders hashed out a key proposal that would allow Medicare to "negotiate" with pharmaceutical companies over prescription drug prices.
The effort is part of Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer's, D- N.Y., drive to coax centrist Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W. Va., into voting for the huge spending bill.
But what Democrats are contemplating is actually a de facto system of price controls — and it would destroy the market for drug research.

Biden's Saudi trip won't help gas prices
President Joe Biden is set to visit Saudi Arabia later this week, on a trip he says is intended to shore up global supply chains and encourage diplomacy and cooperation.
But the question many are asking is: What could it mean for gas prices?
That’s because Saudi Arabia has the second-largest oil reserves in the world — and the U.S. has made it clear it wants all the Persian Gulf's oil states to boost their output. The conventional wisdom is that more oil produced means cheaper gas at the pump.
The reality is more complicated.

Karen Carter Peterson expected to plead guilty to gambling with campaign, Dem party funds
Peterson, an outspoken champion of liberal causes, had been a state senator for 12 years before her resignation earlier this year, and before that she spent a decade in the House. She lost a 2021 congressional race to U.S. Rep. Troy Carter.
If Peterson acknowledges steering money intended for the struggling Louisiana Democratic Party to her own use, it will add considerably to the controversy around her eight-year tenure as party chair, from 2012 to 2020.

Veto Override Session Will Not Take Place in Louisiana
In true gutless, Louisiana political fashion, a majority of those that “serve” the citizens of the state decided to stay home and do nothing to fight back against a liberal Governor. Bills vetoed by “Honor Code” Edwards, that were overwhelmingly supported by legislators, will not have the chance to be overridden in special session.
