The Federal Reserve Board of Governors after its March 22 meeting once again hike the Federal Funds Rate, this time to a range of 4.75 percent to 5 percent, in a bid to calm consumer inflation that remains elevated at 6 percent, with at least one more interest rate hike expected at the next meeting from May 2 to May 3.

Well, here we go again. Big banks are “high-fiving” each other after they won big in Washington last week. We thought government regulators had learned an expensive lesson after the financial crash in 2008 that led to massive bailouts at taxpayers’ expense. Back then, the financial industry was allowed to carry on high stakes gambling with your money. And now, it’s déjà vu as the Biden administration has followed precedent set by the Trump regulators and reopened the casino doors.

America as the “shining city on a hill” is gone. It has been replaced by a country with a weaponized criminal justice system, a radicalized educational system, and a news media that is a mouthpiece for a tyrannical government.
It is difficult to be hopeful about America after twenty-six disastrous months of the Biden administration. All the progress of the previous administration has been reversed. Our country is no longer economically robust, energy independent or secure at our borders.

The eternal promise of spring, the first daffodil, the tiny buds forming on the elm tree; a faint but distinct musical note from the mockingbird, serves to remind us of the cycle of life. The passing of one season into the next reminds one of the continuity and the never changing change in God’s plan.

On February 3rd the State Legislature ended its Special Session to address the state’s homeowner’s insurance crisis by directing only a “$45 million band-aid” to a Louisiana Insurance Incentive Program to lure more insurance companies back to Louisiana. State Insurance Commissioner Jim Donelon has said that “property insurance is now an EXISTENTIAL CRISIS for Louisiana as Insurers doing business in the state are now facing a costly, high-risk gamble” as they have lost <$25 billion> during the last two years, forcing 22+ insurers into insolvency or to leave the state.
