Rep. Nancy Mace 7 @RepNancyMace X.com So tell me, what was it like being married to your brother? Ilhan Omar • @IlhanMN • 11h I hope you aren't drunk and took your staff's advice, Rashida and I don't know this man and feel confident he didn't care about us. Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social me...
Nancy Mace is a truly vile, nasty, and despicable person.

As a native of the Jambalaya Capital of the World:
Good jambalaya uses Manda pork sausage. Period. The end. There is no acceptable substitute. (😜)
Andouille is not really what you want to use for jambalaya. And kielbasa is an insult in the eyes of the Lord. (😜)
I think posters of his and his boss’s quotes on wars and the economy should be put up in every public right of way ASAP.

I'm hopeful that people are starting to recognize that we have a problem. But that's only the first step of the 12. We need insight, we need action, we need to wake up and realize we need better leadership all around.
(HINT: It starts now. Vote smarter, Louisiana.)

. . .state politicians, of which Cameron Henry is one.
Unless and until the people we send to Baton Rouge decide to act like grown-ups and take their responsibilities seriously, we will continue to have to deal with all these issues that negatively impact higher education in Louisiana.

. . . business the way it needs to. (And building huge data farms is NOT the answer.) We cannot continue to believe that tourism and oil and gas will keep us afloat. Too many outside influences make those industries precarious.
So many of these factors can be laid at the feet of our . . .

• Louisiana's decreasing population also impacts college attendance. And that's NOT the fault of those in higher ed. That's a problem that Louisiana's leaders have failed to address for generations. A lack of a diversified economic infrastructure means Louisiana doesn't attract new . . .

• One reason fewer students are attending college is predatory lending practices. And until the people who can do something about them actually DO something about them, the specter of decades-long paybacks for student loans will continue to influence students to pursue other areas of training.

Yet they're making decisions that will have huge impact on how universities are run, who teaches in them and what's taught. (And if you think what's going on in Texas and other states about curriculum isn't going to be messed with by Louisiana's similar boards, you're not paying attention.)
5/10
• Jeff Landry, Louisiana's Napoleon 2.0, also tends to meddle, coercing #LaLege to grant him powers to name people to boards. And we all know what that means: payoffs for political allegiance and campaign contributions. The people sitting on these boards have little knowledge of higher ed.
4/10
Higher ed seems to be one of those. Too often, education issues are resolved by legislators' allegiances to a football team, rather than the greater good of the citizens of the state. Beyond that, to #LaLege, higher ed is just another political football.
3/10
Higher ed is NOT a business and should never be run that way.
Yes, universities get into financial troubles, and sometimes it's of their own making. But there are less-frequently-discussed issues that factor in too.
• #LaLege tends to meddle in affairs about which they know little.
2/10
Will Sutton, whom I admire and have worked with, is right that higher ed in Louisiana needs some looking at.
And getting diverse opinions on what that means is always is good idea. But I have to disagree with Master P.

Oh, Lawd. I'd gladly give moon pies away to anyone. I never understood Mobile's fixation with moon pies for Mardi Gras, and I have yet to fathom how they walked traveled I-10W to find themselves becoming part of New Orleans Mardi Gras.
I know an RC and Moon Pie is a Southern tradition, but yuck!
I think Shia needs to go where others are not.
