Gold & Silver Are Now Legal Tender in Louisiana

1908 Hungary Gold 100 Korona

In 1918, at the end of world War I, the Austro-Hungarian Empire collapsed and vanished. The Empire's paper money became worthless. But the Empire's gold coins hold their value to this very day.

(Zerohedge)  Gov. Jeff Landry has signed a new law reaffirming gold and silver as legal tender, making a symbolic statement in favor of sound money principles.

Senate Bill 232, sponsored by Sen. Mark Abraham, marks the sixth pro-sound money bill passed by a state this year, underscoring a growing national trend.

Louisiana’s sound money bill simply affirms that “any gold or silver coin, specie, or bullion” issued by the United States government is considered legal tender whenever voluntarily agreed upon by both parties to a contract. The measure enjoyed popular support, receiving only one "no" vote on the floor throughout the Louisiana House and Senate.

This concept is consistent with the U.S. Constitution. In fact, Article 1 Section 10 reads: “No state shall…coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; [or] make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts…”

America’s 53-year experiment in a purely fiat currency system has gone poorly. Without backing of gold or silver, the Federal Reserve note “dollar” has continuously declined in purchasing power. The nation has faced a series of Fed-created booms caused by interest rate manipulation, followed by busts and explosive growth in government spending.

When savers, wage earners, and investors seek ways to protect their savings from the ravages of inflation, they often choose precious metals over fiat currency because precious metals have preserved purchasing power over time.

This bill provides symbolic support to Louisiana citizens making this choice, and it is a modest step toward establishing sound money policies in the state.

Alabama, Utah, Wisconsin, Nebraska, and Kentucky passed legislation in 2024 ending sales and capital gains taxes on precious metals, declaring that Central Bank Digital Currencies are not valid money in their state, or empowering state treasurers to invest state funds in gold and silver.

Louisiana is the sixth state to enact sound money laws this year, while five other states did so in 2023.

Prisoners to be castrated by court order

People are FUCKING NUTS

• The court system is one giant steaming turd of stupidity and corruption, and law makers would allow courts to sexually mutilate prisoners.

A proposed bill that would enforce surgical castration as opposed to chemical castration for those convicted of rape has advanced in the Louisiana legislature.

The bill is now headed to Republican Gov. Jeff Landry’s desk to be signed or vetoed.

Senate Bill 371, sponsored by state Sen. Regina Barrow, a Democrat, would sentence those 17 and older who have been convicted of the rape of a victim under the age of 13 to be physically castrated.

It passed in the state House 74–24 and in the Senate 29–9.

“Proposed law further provides that the procedure is contingent upon a determination by a court-appointed medical expert that the defendant is an appropriate candidate for surgery, which determination must be made within 60 days of imposition of sentence,” the bill reads. “Proposed law further provides that when the offender is sentenced to a period of incarceration or confinement, the procedure must be performed no later than one week prior to the release of the offender.”

The Department of Public Safety and Corrections would oversee the procedure; however, it “will not be performed if not medically appropriate.”

Expands on Previous Castration Law

According to state law, voluntary castration for people convicted rape date back to 2008, when the legislature passed legislation that sentenced a sex offender “to be treated with medroxyprogesterone acetate, or MPA.”

“However, in lieu of treatment with medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA), the court may order the defendant to undergo physical castration provided the defendant file a written motion with the court stating that he intelligently and knowingly, gives his voluntary consent to physical castration as an alternative to the treatment,” the act states.

The new legislation proposed by Sen. Barrow expands on the previous act by authorizing a judge to order a physical castration to those convicted of a sex offense in which the victim was 13 or under, according to the bill.

Democrat bans large church services

It's time to tell these politicians to fuck off

(WAFB) - The Louisiana National Guard says it has not been tasked with breaking up large gatherings in the state, including at churches.

The statement comes on the heels of a pastor of a Louisiana church defying government orders by welcoming in hundreds of people into his church service Tuesday evening (March 17).

The gathering directly defied an order by Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards that bans groups larger than 50 from gathering at any one time, including in churches. President Donald Trump has recommended no groups larger than 10.

The pastor, Rev. Tony Spell, says police showed up at the church after the service telling him the National Guard would break up any future gatherings that exceed 50 people.

However, Louisiana National Guard Colonel Ed Bush said Wednesday that is not accurate.

“The National Guard has not been tasked with enforcing any of the curfew, social distancing or meeting requirements as set by the governor,” Colonel Bush said. “Our focus right now is completely with helping state agencies with preparedness and medical readiness,” Bush added.

A Little Monday Music - Jelly Roll Morton

Starting The Week off on a High Note

• I have decided to try and start each new week off on a positive high note. But being a glass half empty kind of guy I suspect things will turn into crap soon enough.

Ferdinand Joseph LaMothe (October 20, 1890 – July 10, 1941) known professionally as Jelly Roll Morton, was an American ragtime and early jazz pianist, bandleader and composer who started his career in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Widely recognized as a pivotal figure in early jazz, Morton was jazz's first arranger, proving that a genre rooted in improvisation could retain its essential spirit and characteristics when notated. 

His composition "Jelly Roll Blues", published in 1915, was the first published jazz composition. Morton also wrote the standards "King Porter Stomp", "Wolverine Blues", "Black Bottom Stomp", and "I Thought I Heard Buddy Bolden Say", the last a tribute to New Orleans musicians from the turn of the 20th century.

Morton was born into the inward-looking, Creole (free people of color) community in the Faubourg Marigny neighborhood of downtown New Orleans, Louisiana, c. 1890. Both parents could trace their Creole ancestry back four generations to the 18th century.

At the age of fourteen, Morton began working as a piano player in a brothel (or, as it was referred to then, a sporting house). In that atmosphere, he often sang smutty lyrics; he took the nickname "Jelly Roll", which was African-American slang for female genitalia, and by extension a lover of same. While working there, he was living with his churchgoing great-grandmother; he convinced her that he worked as a night watchman in a barrel factory.

Rock N' Roll legend Fats Domino dies at 89

Fats Domino, a legendary pianist, recording artist and pioneer of rock n' roll music, died Wednesday at age 89.

His first record, "The Fat Man," was released in 1949 and was the first rock n' roll record to sell a million copies while achieving a No 2. ranking on the R&B charts.

The argument over exactly where rock ’n’ roll began has been debated for decades. But I’ve long argued that well before Bill Haley & His Comets set teens hopping in 1955 with “Rock Around the Clock,” before Elvis first got teens quaking a year earlier with “That’s All Right,” there was Antoine “Fats” Domino.

He had 35 records in the U.S. Billboard Top 40, and five of his pre-1955 records sold more than a million copies, being certified gold.

From 1955-60, he had eleven top 10 hits and his record sales were reportedly surpassed only by Elvis Presley. 

During his career, Domino sold over 65 million records. His musical style was based on traditional rhythm and blues, accompanied by saxophones, bass, piano, electric guitar, and drums.

Gold and Silver as Money says Louisiana Senate

"Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value: zero."

Voltaire

BATON ROUGE, La. (10th Amendment Center)  –  Today, the Louisiana Senate passed a bill that would exempt the sale and purchase of gold and silver from state sales and use taxes, encouraging their use and taking the first step toward breaking the Federal Reserve’s monopoly on money.

Rep. Stephen Dwight (R) and Rep. Mark Abraham (R) introduced House Bill 396 (HB396) on March 31. The legislation would exempt the sale of platinum, gold, or silver bullion, ingots, or coins that are valued only on their precious metal content from the state sales tax. It would also exempt certain numismatic (collectable) coins.

Yesterday, the Senate Committee on Revenue and Fiscal Affairs passed HB396 with some technical amendments. The Legislative Bureau followed with its approval the same day. Previously, the House passed the measure 95-0. Today, the Senate passed it by a vote of 30-2.

Imagine if you asked a grocery clerk to break a $5 bill and he charged you a 35 cent tax. Silly, right? After all, you were only exchanging one form of money for another. But that’s essentially what Louisiana’s sales tax on gold and silver does. By removing the sales tax on the exchange of gold and silver, Louisiana would treat specie as money instead of a commodity. 

This represents a small step toward reestablishing gold and silver as legal tender and breaking down the Fed’s monopoly on money.

Practically speaking, eliminating taxes on the sale of gold and silver would crack open the door for people to begin using it in regular business transactions.This would mark an important small step toward currency competition. 

If sound money gains a foothold in the marketplace against Federal Reserve notes, the people would be able to choose the time-tested stability of gold and silver over the central bank’s rapidly-depreciating paper currency.

Constitutional tender expert Professor William Greene said when people in multiple states actually start using gold and silver instead of Federal Reserve Notes, it would effectively nullify the Federal Reserve and end the federal government’s monopoly on money.

“Over time, as residents of the state use both Federal Reserve notes and silver and gold coins, the fact that the coins hold their value more than Federal Reserve notes do will lead to a “reverse Gresham’s Law” effect, where good money (gold and silver coins) will drive out bad money (Federal Reserve notes). As this happens, a cascade of events can begin to occur, including the flow of real wealth toward the state’s treasury, an influx of banking business from outside of the state – as people in other states carry out their desire to bank with sound money – and an eventual outcry against the use of Federal Reserve notes for any transactions.”

Once things get to that point, Federal Reserve notes would become largely unwanted and irrelevant for ordinary people. Nullifying the Fed on a state by state level is what will get us there.

When gold and silver was money somehow the sun came up every day, children played, businesses did business, people went to work and lived their lives.

Now Tigers are "Racist"

Playing The Race Card

Wait. Toilet paper is white. Isn't that racist too?

(Breitbart)  -  A group of students at Louisiana State University is now demanding that the school eliminate its 122-year-old tiger mascot, because the animal represents “white privilege” and “racism.”

A change.org petition, entitled “Change the Racist Mascot of LSU!,” demands that the school take action to dump the tiger mascot because it was named “during the height of Jim Crow South.”

LSU named the tiger as its mascot back in 1895, taking the symbol from one of the state’s hardest fighting civil war battalions known as the “Louisiana Tigers.”

“Louisiana State University named their mascot the Tigers, and they named it during the height of Jim Crow South. This was a time when black men feared for their lives, and were treated as sub human,” the petition reads. “This symbol is the most prevalent Confederate symbol in the United States.”

“These powerful white males choose the Tiger as a symbol to honor a Confederate regiment called Louisiana’s Tigers,” the petition continues. “They were known for their propensity for violence on and off the battlefield. They were just as violent to the black slaves they owned, and later even more violent once those slaves were set free.”

Dodgeball saved from PC Pussies

Standing Up To PC A-Holes

The dark forces of political correctness and the general wussification of America have failed to outlaw the rite of passage that is dodgeball as a school-sponsored activity in Louisiana.

A group of about two dozen teachers and education desk jockeys calling itself the Louisiana Physical Education Standards Committee had tried to add a wholesale, statewide prohibition on dodgeball to a set of revamped physical education standards, reports The Advocate, a Baton Rouge newspaper.

However, Louisiana’s Board of Elementary and Secondary Education rejected the ban says the Daily Caller.

Supporters of the dodgeball ban expressed shock at the decision.

“Honestly, I didn’t think it was going to be an issue,” Louisiana Physical Education Standards Committee member Kathy Hill told The Advocate.

Hill, a kinesiology professor at Louisiana State University, suggested that the plan to ban dodgeball was designed as a largely symbolic attempt to reduce bullying.

“In trying to be really sensitive about bullying, which is just a huge issue now in the schools,” she told the Baton Rouge newspaper. “We just felt like we needed to put a statement in there about human target games.”

Russia offers to send monitors to US polling stations

Putin voting in Russia

What are the Politicians hiding?

• Three states controlled by the Dems and the GOP have refused a request by Russia to observe our elections. Might I add GOP officials all over the U.S. have been stabbing Donald Trump in the back at every opportunity. So one has to ask: We know Dems are scum, but why are the GOP hacks afraid of independent observers?

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Oklahoma and two other states say they have denied a request by Russian officials to be present at polling stations during the Nov. 8 election.

An official with Russia’s consulate general in Houston sent a letter to Oklahoma Secretary of State Chris Benge last month seeking to have one of its officers present to study the “US experience in organization of voting process.”

But Benge denied the request, noting Oklahoma law prohibits anyone except election officials and voters from being present while voting is taking place.

The Tulsa World newspaper reported Louisiana and Texas denied similar requests from Russian officials.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has faced criticism for suggesting the election might be “rigged” and for praising Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Russia vs USA
At least in Russian elections paper ballots are used and you can see them in a clear ballot box. Sure Russia is authoritarian. But when has Russia NOT been authoritarian?
.
The point is the U.S. is now authoritarian. Our so-called "elections" for Congress are a joke with the same two open borders Wall Street funded parties magically winning 100% of all elections.
.
At least the Russian Duma has six different political parties represented. Meanwhile back in the USA you have to go way back to 1948 to find another party winning a seat in Congress.

Shhhh – CNN Accidentally Stumbled Upon, and Broadcasts, Donald Trump Supply Donation to Louisiana…

Donald Trump and Gov. Pence hand out supplies in Louisiana

While Obama Golfed

(The Conservative Tree House)  -  Days before candidate Donald Trump announced his intention to visit the flood ravaged area of Louisiana, he had already put in place a donation (a full 18 wheeler) of supplies for the victims of the flood.

CNN accidentally stumbled upon the donation, and Brooke Baldwin reported on it during a 90 second segment.  Don’t worry, they won’t air it again:

While Donald Trump and Mike Pence were visiting with Franklin Graham and the fine folks of Samaritans Purse, the donation was quietly being off-loaded in another location.

Donald Trump met with several families, and gave them a message of support and hope. “Stay strong, you’re going to rebuild”.

The security agents assigned to candidate Trump are very protective, twitchy about close physical contact – but Donald Trump reassures them all will be ok.

White House to flooded Louisiana: 'The President Has a Very Busy Schedule'

Obama can't wait to be an ex-President

(CNSNews.com) - Speaking at a news conference in flood-ravaged Louisiana on Thursday, Homeland Security Director Jeh  Johnson said "the federal government is here, we have been here, and we'll be here as long as it takes to help this community recover."

Responding to criticism that President Obama has not interrupted his summer vacation on Martha's Vineyard, Johnson said several times, "The president can't be everywhere."

Johnson also said the (golfing, vacationing) president "has a very busy schedule this fall and in the coming days," hinting that Obama has no plans to go Louisiana.

David Vitter is Sorry For Banging Hookers, Can He Be Louisiana Governor Now?

Retard Alert!

Washington's Best and Brightest

wants to run Louisiana

(Middle Finger News Service)  -  It’s been a while since family values poster boy and Louisiana Sen. David Vitter (R-Brothel) has addressed the scurrilous accusations that he was a loyal customer of the DC Madam, because oh gosh, that was so long ago, and God and Mrs. Vitter have forgiven him, MOVE ON. And his campaign for governor has done a good job of getting reporters who dare to ask him about that fired for their journalistic impropriety, allegedly.

But the Vitter campaign has had a change of heart, so Louisiana, our wannabe Governor has new ad, which he is obviously using to troll all of us, because the damned thing is called ....and no, I'm not making this up..... "Hard Times."

(Note: It only took the Vitter campaign a few hours to realize its poor choice of wording and change the name of the ad to “Difficult Times.”)

"Fifteen years ago, I failed my family, but found forgiveness and love. I learned that our falls aren’t what define us, but rather, how we get up, accept responsibility, and earn redemption. You know me. I’m a fighter. And as your governor, I’ll get up every day to fight for you. For a much better, stronger Louisiana." 

It’s funny that Vitter thinks Louisiana is in deep doo, since our current Republican governor Bobby Jindal keeps insisting he’s done a real bang-up job of cleaning up the joint, by, for example, shutting down the charity hospital system, and then refusing expanded Medicaid funding, leaving hundred of thousands of poor Louisiana citizens without affordable health care that was supported and funded by every Governor since it's inception over 200 years ago.

The Vitter campaign’s decision to vaguely address and dismiss that Hard Time Vitter broke the law, and the vows of his marriage by humping Freaky Canal Street Brothel Ladies of the Evening might have something to do with the not-even-remotely subtle ad released last week by his rival, John Bel Edwards, which not only goes there, but then drives another 100 miles past there, refills the gas tank, and keeps on going.
 
Vitter’s campaign had already denied recent allegations that the staunch “pro-lifer” had knocked up his mistress and dumped her like an adult dookie when she refused to abort his love child. So it would be irresponsible for us to speculate that the “forgiveness and love” Vitter found, after undermining the sanctity of his traditional marriage, includes keeping some ‘tang on the side and then asking said ‘tang to murder his unborn baby.

Polling shows Vitter is expected to have his diapered ass handed to him on Nov. 21.
