[VIDEO] Louisiana Students Don't Need 10 Commandments Lurking Behind Them in Classrooms

Transcript of video appears below... Louisiana Students Don't Need 10 Commandments Lurking Behind Them in Classrooms #10Commandments #churchandstate #FirstAmendment #religiousfreedom #politics #uspolitics #Louisiana #JeffLandry #TenCommandments pic.twitter.com/medz4jq1h6 — Chris Walker (@thatchriswalker) June 23, 2024 Louisiana has become the first state in the country to mandate the Ten Commandments be posted in every public school classroom . This is a clear infringement on First Amendment religious freedom rights. Now, I consider myself a Christian, but I don't believe that my faith or anybody else's for that matter should be endorsed by government in this way. By the way, the Bible feels this way, too ( Matthew 6:5-7 , Luke 20:20-26 ). The state's governor, Republican Jeff Landry, justified the new law by stating the Commandments were a part of this country's history. That may be, to some extent, but so is Voodoo or Vodou in his home state. Somehow, I&

Monona decriminalizes marijuana use, possession: Wisconsin should follow suit

The economic — and health — benefits of marijuana could be a boon for the state The city of Monona, which sits just to the southeast of Madison, just decriminalized marijuana use and possession for law-abiding citizens over the age of 21. By a 4-3 vote of the city council, a measure that would reduce the fine from $200 to no fine at all was approved. Mayor Bob Miller is also supportive of the measure. The fines for users under the age of 21 remains $200, a point that advocates pushed for themselves to reinforce the idea that marijuana use should only be decriminalized for adult use only. This move is the right direction to head in, and the state ought to look at its own standards as well. Other states across the nation have already decriminalized or outright legalized marijuana use. Wisconsin should follow suit: there is no reason that this drug, which is safer than alcohol consumption in most cases, should remain illegal. It should be strictly regulated, of course. Eve

ENDORSEMENT: It is imperative that Russ Feingold wins back his old Senate seat

A vote for Ron Johnson is a vote for irrational thinking; Feingold brings intelligence to the Senate Image via RussFeingold.com The race for the White House is taking center-stage, and all signs are pointing towards a win for Hillary Clinton. But even if Clinton defeats Donald Trump, she’s going to need a change in Congress to get her agenda passed. Several Senate seats across the country are competitive, and FiveThirtyEight.com is presently predicting a 60 percent chance that the Senate will flip over to Democratic Party control . That will allow a President Clinton the chance to push some of her agenda, and give her some leverage when dealing with a Republican-controlled House of Representatives. It will also allow her an easier path to filling her appointments within her cabinet and on various federal courts. But she’ll need every senate victory she can get on Tuesday night. One of those competitive seats is right here in the Badger State, between incumbent Sen. Ron Joh
