Ganja Comer:

SCOOP: James Comer has blasted Hunter Biden for a failed Chinese business deal—but new records show Comer helped import Chinese hemp for a campaign donor’s company that was the “poster child” of his top policy initiative. And it turned out to be marijuana. https://t.co/c9dliNrC4V

This may not be the right thread, but I didn't want to start a "laugh at Louisiana" thread because this shit isn't funny to me. I just wanted to recap the highlights from the first legislative session after our new governor was sworn in. Jon Bel Edwards got a lot of criticism for being a bit of a DINO, but have a look at the kind of shit he was preventing for the past 8 years.

Education

■ Education savings accounts:

Senate Bill 313 establishes ''education savings accounts,'' or ESAs, that give parents state tax dollars to pay for private school tuition, uniforms, tutoring and other approved expenses. The overall cost of the program is still unknown, and state education officials will have to decide how much tuition money to give parents and when, if ever, it will offer grants to all families regardless of financial need.

■ Ten Commandments in classrooms: Louisiana will soon require that public universities and K-12 schools display the Ten Commandments in every classroom after passing House Bill 71. The bill makes it the first state in the U.S. to pass such a requirement.

LGBTQ+ community

■ Bathrooms: House Bill 608 bans transgender people from using school restrooms, locker rooms or changing rooms that align with their gender identity. The bill also extends to prison and domestic violence shelter bathrooms and sleeping quarters. Allgender, single-occupancy restrooms or changing spaces would still be allowed under the proposal.

■ Discussing sexuality: Under House Bill 122, all talk of sexuality and gender in classrooms, extracurricular clubs and social activities in schools is banned.

■ Pronouns: House Bill 121 requires parental permission for students to change the name or pronouns they use in school. The bill also says school employees cannot be punished for refusing to call a student or colleague by a name or pronoun other than what is on their birth certificate and bans policies that require school employees or students to share their preferred pronouns.

Abortion

■ Abortion pills: Louisiana is poised to become the first state to classify two abortion- inducing medications, misoprostol and mifepristone, as dangerous controlled substances. Under Senate Bill 276, those in possession of the medications without a valid prescription could spend up to 10 years in prison, though pregnant women would be exempt from persecution.

Immigration

■ Sanctuary cities: Senate Bill 208 prohibits municipalities from crafting policies that impede the federal government's enforcement of immigration laws, often referred to as ''sanctuary city laws.''

■ State immigration laws: Senate Bill 388 allows local police to detain people suspected of entering the United States illegally. Under the bill, people living in Louisiana without legal immigration status face up to a year in prison and a $4,000 fine, and up to two years in prison and a $10,000 fine for a second offense. The legislation mimics a Texas law at the heart of a federal court battle.

Others of note

■ Surgical castration:

Senate Bill 371 allows a judge to sentence sex offenders whose victims were under 13 to be surgically castrated. The bill does not apply to offenders under 17.

■ Lunch breaks for teens:

House Bill 156 eliminates state requirements that 16 and 17-year-old workers receive a 20-minute lunch break when they work five or more hours at a time.

The article didn't even mention the fact that it's now legal for anyone to carry a concealed firearm at any time, in any place, without a permit or any sort of training. But don't worry - the governor announced yesterday that, by the time we host the Super Bowl next year, New Orleans will be "one of the safest cities in the nation!"

I honestly want a drunk local to shot someone at Mardi Gras. That kind of bad press is usually what it takes for sense to be installed in those policies.

 

Don't count on it.

 

Marjorie Taylor Greene in Las Vegas complains that "if you think gas prices are high now, just wait until you're forced to drive an electric vehicle."

Does she ... does she think EVs are powered by gas? pic.twitter.com/VhKfLoEqX1

Public fast charging can be more expensive than gasoline, depending on state and surcharges.

But she is too dumb to know that, so she has to be thinking of something else.

 

Shush....the more people that buy EV's the less/fewer I have to pay for gas!
