Louisiana is no place for people with college degrees who care about others. The brain drain. We lose a highly specialized cardiologist because of stupidity and discrimination.
A Louisianan should NEVER be in the line of succession to the presidency. We don't do management. We do art, music, fishing, political consulting, writing, sports, & partying. The Louisiana motto: If it ain't broke, break it. And if it is broke, don't fix it.

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry just went on Fox to criticize the LSU women’s hoops team for not being on the court for the national anthem, which is normal per their routine. “Everybody should respect the flag. You don’t like it? Guess what? You don’t have to play the sport,” he said
