I have a confession to make. And former President Trump is not going to like it. I’m a southern country lawyer. Darn proud of it. In the President’s words, I may be a “dumb southern country lawyer.” I just hope the President Trump does not have a sneering contempt for all of us Louisiana lawyers who cut our teeth practicing law in the rural areas of the Bayou State.

The media is still in a frenzy over Former President Trump’s indictment for the alleged mishandling of classified documents, charges Trump vehemently denies.
While recent polling shows Republicans largely agree with Trump and believe the charges are intended to keep him from seeking reelection, this perception is not limited to Trump’s base.
In March, when the former President was indicted by a New York grand jury for alleged hush money payments to an adult film star, charges Trump denies, his polling numbers rose substantially with swing voters.

President Biden gave his first speech from the Oval Office on June 2nd in which he celebrated the debt deal as “we averted an economic crisis and an economic collapse as nothing would have been more catastrophic than defaulting on the country’s debt.” Sadly, this was all misinformation.
Holy Scripture says, “There is a time to be silent and a time to speak” (Ecclesiastes 3:7). Now is the time to speak!!
