New Orleans Needs a Better
Way to Do Mardi Gras

NEW ORLEANS—Standing in line at the hardware store on the edge of the French Quarter one December Monday, I overheard the cashier talking to a regular customer about manhole covers that had exploded just before dawn that morning a couple of blocks away. The metal discs had burst into buildings and crashed into the underside of a car, which in turn caught fire. Power outages and evacuations had ensued. This was just the latest addition to a cluster of troubling events. In the previous few days, a turbine powering the low-lying city’s storm-drainage system had also exploded, unrelated water-main ruptures had flooded neighborhoods on opposite sides of town,

Here's where I bailed out, FTA: '...issues shared by many American cities: neglected infrastructure, a deepening housing crisis, widening inequality, profound racial injustice, and a deadly threat from climate change.' The first step in recovery is realizing you have a problem. But blaming it on straw-men charges (of racial injustice and climate change) is why NOLA will never recover. Like a fish doesn't realize it's in water, they cannot see the miseries brought on by all-Dem government.

It must be the fault of those people running "Chocolate City". #1, by racial injustice do they mean the white folks aren't doing the black folks who run the place job? Don't want to bother reading the article.

New Orleans used to be fabulous. Colorful, brimming with history and great food. Now it’s a craphole destroyed by Democrats and too dangerous to walk through unarmed. This is what liberal ideology and policy creates. Then they all cry about it like it’s someone else’s fault. It’s not. It’s them. But keep voting for them.

I left New Orleans a few decades back, and never looked back. Of all the places I've lived, it was the worst by far. If the heat and humidity weren't enough, the crime and corruption just added to the mess. It was like living in the third world. In fact, when people asked where I was going, I said, "Back to the United States."

But Anne, our all Democrat mostly quota city goobernment has extracted four horrid confederate monuments at the price of millions of dollars and man-hours. It is a very rogressive city with forward thinking goobernment. Regulating plastic beads, just like regulating the size of soda pop cups isn't the answer. Maybe citizens should vote for competent goobernment officials and not based on how loud the major can delcare the desire of NOLA is to be a 'Chocolate City' Just across a cannel and levy is Metairie. It has huge Mardi Gras parades, functioning water mains, silent manhole covers and lower taxes, better schools and less crime. Oh, and it doesn't proclaim to be trying to be a 'Chocolate City', And it has Rebublicans in goobernment. Voters get what voters want. Tearing down monuments, being overtly racist towards whites, and ignoring how a city should function is a proven failure. But then, Democrats always think more of the same will equate to a different outcome.

Dimocrat mayor since 1872, chain unbroken since the carpetbaggers pulled out. It is a charming city overwhelmed with corruption and deplorables that is additionally overrun by visiting deplorables once a year. On top of that you can add that it is a geographically ridiculous place to locate a large city.

New Orleans is a place that you visit a maximum of one time, unless you like stepping around drunks on your early morning jog and don't mind streets smelling like sewers all of the time. Once you get past the charm of the old architecture the place is just disgusting.

Couldn't make it very far either. My wife is from Cajun country near Lafayette so 2 suggestions. 1. Mardi Gras doesn't just happen in NOLA. Baton Rouge, Lafayette and all the small towns around them have the parades and parties in much more pleasant and friendly surroundings. Screw the French Quarter. 2. If you want NOLA try Jazz Fest around the end of April. Hundreds of bands of all kinds held at the fair grounds. Major headliners and believe it or not Good Food. Less $100 for parking and an all day pass. Traffic on the leaving part can be painful so as soon as the headliner finishes haul your butt to the shuttle busses and be patient.

Thanks to above posters. I thought maybe I wasn’t woke enough to follow the author’s line of reasoning. A red flag went up at the first mention of the already-fragile environment. It’s a silly, hand-wringing article says the sky is falling so maybe we shouldn’t do Mardi Gras.

Been to NO and spent much time at the quarter. It was hot and muggy. While going to dinner in the quarter, a stench in the air took away my appetite. Dont get me wrong, some great chow and people down there, but, you need to know where to go ahead of time.

All true enough about NOLA, but #15 is right about the music. I was a child there in the early fifties and the music stuck in my head. Life-long jazz fan of all kinds, but my favorite remains traditional New Orleans jazz. I'm an addicted "Tuba Skinny" fan on youtube and hope some day to get back down there to see them live. Listening to them has been described as "it's like the last 100 years never happened". Great stuff - pure joy!

Been to Norlins a few times over the years. It's a seedy, grungy place reminiscent of a French Caribbean Island. it definitely has character and that's what keeps people going there. Last time I was there was in '12 for a trade show ... well after Katrina. I wanted to see how the city cleaned up after that devastating storm. The one thing that stood out to me was how the NO airport was the direst airport I've ever been to in continental United States....especially the restrooms. Hey, It's the big easy!

"The City that Care Forgot" is one of the mottoes for New Orleans. Partying comes first, the rest..... well, maybe.... a little bit. Regarding the airport, they did (paid for by the Federal Government) build a new terminal. I live about an hour away on the Mississippi coast.... I go to New Orleans every now and then, not very often. It is what it is.

I've been to New Orleans three times, the first time in 1962 and it was still a magical city then. We loved it. We returned in 1975 and things were seriously deteriorating, but there was still charm to be found. By 2002, the city was a complete mess and we have never gone back. Well, not a complete mess, because the music existed in several joints in the Quarter and was worth paying attention and enjoying.

If all y’all haven’t seen President Trump in Bakersfield CA yesterday signing the bill to remove the water restrictions for the farmers in CA, I’ll look for the link, as 4 farmers, one or two still in their flannel shirts, thank him so eloquently ... All to say, N’awlins where we lived for 7 wonderful years, needs the attention of our President to Make N’awlins Better again! Pray for the churches there, we worshiped at First Baptist on St Charles, opening our doors for coffee, lemonade, a place to rest and meet... I will always be celebrating Fat Tuesday as the first person I ever had the privilege of sharing the Gospel with was a lady from Australia, as she cried in gratitude and prayer. Whole Foods’ bakeries here in Monterey have King Cakes, get one for Tuesday, hide the baby in it so whoever gets it, will get the King Cake next year, and pray President Trump can turn around LA as he is working with Kevin and Devin to do in CA!

Hubby worked Katrina as a National Guardsman and had to interact with the mayor, Nagin who was a real piece of work. It was a cesspool, and that was just the goob’mint! The flood waters cleaned absolutely nothing, except some of the officials who are in jail or died. We now live in Louisiana, but several hours away. We have no intention of going, even for their much touted cuisine. It’s not safe, it was built below sea level and the authorities are still corrupt.

We moved out of NO in 1981, and visit the city less and less each year. We have everything on the North shore that we want or need. We don't have the restaurants with the expensive names, but we have still have the great food. The best thing in NO, is the WW2 museum, it's well worth the visit. See the museum, enjoy a great meal and get out of town. The Jazz Fest the last weekend in April to the 1st weekend in May is also worth a visit. Haven't been to a parade in the city since the early 80's and haven't missed them, we usually leave the State for a nice 4 or 5 day road trip.

What they need is a thorough house cleaning of the entire state government from the governorship on down to city hall. Corruption is so endemic in LA, that band aid approach will no longer work. Several states are the same way. Blue for as long as most of us can remember, and now they are paying the price for their fecklessness. Clean out the corruption of NOLA and you might stand a chance of a decent Marti Gras again.

I am a native New Orleanian. My career had me traveling nationwide for 25 years, so I know what "Elsewhere" is like. I have relatives and friends that I visit regularly from New York City to San Diego. New Orleans is unique. It has problems, but I could not live anywhere else. I've tried, but always move back. "Elsewhere" is boring! We are now in Mardi Gras season (It's a 2 week season - not one day). No other city could handle what New Orleans accomplishes during Mardi Gras. Ask Seattle, they tried but failed miserably. Mobile does have a "mini Mardi Gras". Got to go! Need to get our spot on the Parade Route - 4 parades today. In "Elsewhere" it's just Friday!

NO was called the 'Crescent City' because it was built on a crescent of high ground. As it grew it expanded to low lying land exposed to the flooding that Katrina brought. Follow the growth with corrupt Democrat mayors ruling the 'Chocolate City'. It's now a dangerous, seedy town. My son spent his honeymoon there some twenty years ago and they took one of the ghost tours. Some cemeteries couldn't be visited because they were too close to dangerous (black) neighborhoods. I have no plans to ever visit NO and my son has never been back. The author brings up the usual lefty talking points which have no relation to the city's real problems.

The writer is concerned about debris and climate change. My concern for New Orleans and Mardi Gras is spiritual. What supposedly started as a party to prepare for a "religious denial of self", is in reality, pagan debauchery on display. It continues to get more twisted as our society gets more broken and more evil. If Katrina didn't get their attention, I'm not sure what God might allow next. An excrement bomb below the surface of the streets in the French Quarter is a red flag for sure.

Seven people, all from different households, not only gathered for Thanksgiving but distributed to the media pictorial evidence of them flouting mask mandates and social distancing edicts. No governor yet claims jurisdiction over the International Space Station but the astronauts have a lot of explaining to do when they return to earth. It’s not as though they lacked for space. Governors ordering around people 250 miles above their states seems far-fetched. But so, too, did the notion of governors usurping the role of legislatures. Eight months after the initial coronavirus lockdowns, citizens docilely accept the idea of a single person dictating the laws that govern millions of people.

Will Joe Biden and his foreign-policy team accept the extraordinary gift Team Trump is leaving for them under the Christmas tree — or is their hatred for the president so all-consuming that they will toss it in the garbage? I’m talking about the Abraham Accords, peace deals between Israel and various Arab states — the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan — that have sought the Jewish state’s destruction since its founding in 1948. Normalization has proceeded so quickly, Dubai already has a kosher restaurant, and its supermarkets are stocking Israeli agricultural products festooned with Stars of David — a science-fictional sight only a year ago.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Thursday reflected on some of the most memorable moments during his two-year tenure heading the State Department, in a wide-ranging interview on "Special Report." "I haven't had a chance to reflect on it," Pompeo told Bret Baier. "I guess if I were to give you my quick response, it was really something to come back from Pyongyang with three Americans and travel home with them from Asia and return them to their families." Pompeo was referring to the May 2018 release of three Americans detained in North Korea -- all were accused of anti-state activities.

Police officers in Lynchburg responded around 1:40 a.m. Wednesday to a report of a burglary in progress, the station reported. The suspects allegedly knocked on the door of the residence and then assaulted the resident when he opened the door but the resident responded by shooting both suspects, police told the FOX station.

The practice of democracy in our constitutional republic flourishes in the presence of contradictions. Democracy, itself, is bound by our inalienable rights, bestowed to us by our Creator. These rights, not given to us by our government by any majority or by any vote, cannot be rescinded, for they were not wrought by man. Voting is a contradiction for it is both public and private at the same time. Its process is intended to be secret, but transparent. Its agency is intensely partisan, but its effect is intended to be unifying. The legitimacy of voting must survive despite the contradictions intrinsic to the process.
Trump’s Flynn Pardon:

Will Judge Emmett Sullivan accept President Trump’s pardon of General Michael Flynn? No one has suggested that possibility, other than The New York Sun. The general’s case, though, has become a bonfire of the vanities of one district judge who has denied the presumption of regularity to an official act of the United States government — meaning Attorney General William Barr’s attempt to drop the case. So why would Judge Sullivan credit President Trump’s workaround of a pardon? We understand, the pardon could be the least fettered of all the powers that the Constitution grants to the president.
Dangerous Game of Monopoly 7 replies

Many conservatives have moved their social-media accounts to the more freewheeling Parler, and often have slammed the supposedly monopolistic Facebook and Twitter as they’ve decamped from those sites. I have chuckled at some of their overheated parting rhetoric — especially the widespread misunderstanding about the meaning of the word “monopoly.” A monopoly is, as the Oxford dictionary explains, “the exclusive possession or control of the supply of or trade in a commodity or service.” Quite obviously, if one stops doing business with a company and heads over to its competitor, then the previous company is not by definition in exclusive possession or control of a service.

Medicaid beneficiaries "have no right under the statute to challenge a State’s determination that a provider is unqualified,"

Just in case you thought that all of the elections aside from the Georgia runoffs were behind us, well… they’re not. The counting is still going on in some of the congressional races and one of the tightest ones is in New York’s 22nd district. There, Democratic incumbent Anthony Brindisis is locked in a recount with Republican Claudia Tenney, who previously held the seat before him. The race gap between the two has come down to the point where Tenney is leading by 106 votes and the only ballots left to possibly be considered are the ones that were “set aside” during the initial count due to irregularities.

Nancy Pelosi’s top priority is to turn America into a one-party nation ruled by Democrats. Her bill HR 1 trashes the U.S. Constitution in an attempt to rig the system and make it virtually impossible to elect a Republican president or Congress again. It’s a power grab. The bill eviscerates state voting laws and forces all the states to conform to a set of rules that includes automatic voter registration. Anyone who goes to a DMV or applies for food stamps, Medicaid or other social services, or attends a public college will be automatically enrolled to vote. Noncitizens are obligated to identify themselves and opt out,

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life.

And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.

Rep. Steve Cohen vowed to renew the push to remove former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover’s name from the bureau’s downtown Washington headquarters, according to an interview released Monday. Appearing on Yahoo! News’ Skullduggery podcast, the Tennessee Democrat said the effort is getting a fresh look after the release of a new movie highlighting the FBI’s secret program to discredit civil rights activists. The Washington Times in 2019 first reported Democrats’ bid to strip the longtime FBI director’s name from the bureau’s headquarters. Mr. Cohen said the impetus to revive the bid is the new movie, “Judas and the Black Messiah.” The movie details

“There must have been a moment, at the beginning, when we could have said –-no. But somehow we missed it.” Tom Stoppard The millions of Americans who were paying attention throughout the 2020 election campaign all became painfully aware of the fact that Joe Biden’s cognitive abilities were slipping and slipping fast. His wife, as the person closest to him, should have been the one to call the campaign quits in order to reduce stress on the man. Instead, apparently so anxious to become the First Lady by any means necessary, Mrs. Biden continued to push her failing husband’s campaign forward as if he were mentally qualified.
