The roots of the Democrat party in Louisiana

Louisiana Conservative:

History of the Louisiana Democrat Party and the Ku Klux Klan

.

July 30, 1866: New Orleans’s Democratic government ordered police to raid an integrated GOP meeting, killing 40 people and injuring 150.

...


It took only two years before White Democrats became violent against Republicans again.

September 28, 1868: Democrats in Opelousas, Louisiana killed nearly 300 blacks who tried to foil an assault on a Republican newspaper editor.
...

More to the point, the violence started again when three local white men beat up Emerson Bentley, white editor of the local Republican newspaper. Upon hearing the news of Bentley’s beating, several local African Americans came to the defense of Bentley. That day, at least two dozen African Americans were arrested and hung that same night. The following days, local whites went on what they called a “negro hunt”. At least 200 African Americans were killed in the fields and swamps.

...

The Louisiana Democrat Party’s taste for blood didn’t stop there. Just six years after Opelousas, and eight years after the “Massacre of the Innocents”, Louisiana Democrats again turned violent.

  • September 14, 1874: Racist white Democrats stormed Louisiana’s statehouse to oust GOP Governor William Kellogg’s racially integrated administration; 27 are killed.
...
That is not a history to be proud of, nor does it recommend the allegiance of blacks to the Democrat party. When you see Democrat race baiting against Republicans remember thsi is how it started.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
