This sounds like he's trying to buy off his cops so they won't spill the beans on his incompetence. Not that it's not already well known, but a few NOPD can confirm everything that did or didn't happen.

LOL!

To me, the contrast is beyond startling. You have the ditzy, nearly aphasic Gov of LA versus the articulate, together Gov of Texas and so forth.

Yeah, LA is a Dem and a dim state for not being smart enough to see the diff.

Maybe some donor organization could round up old laptop computers, fit them with Linux (it's free), set up FR accounts on them all.

That's the ticket - payoffs.

New Orleans has been a hell hole for these people for generations.

I recommend Sacramento, California for relocation. There's the river delta, similar summer climate, (heck, they even have a Jazz Festival)good housing and jobs (compared to anything they'll ever have in N.O.)

An organized contingent of NO refugees could absolutely thrive in that town.

Being out of New Orleans has to improve their chances.

Importing more Democrat voters to CA?

No, let them be taken on by red states where the group think there may rub off on them and they may be able to turn their lives around and make progress instead of stagnating in a welfare state, where Democrats encourage them to consider themselves helpless victims, reliable voters that will sustain them in power.

I wish that Greta had come right out and stated what many of us see as obvious: It all comes down to leadership.

If I were on a sinking ship, I'd rather have Gov Rick Perry at the helm than that human weepfest Blanco.

Amazing stuff happens when people get out of the grip of a corrupt DemoRat party and the likes of Je$$e Jack$on,
Al $harpton and the Congressional Black Caucus.

We could see a sea change in attitudes results from this.

"And I love the history of this place. The culture. It's the birthplace of jazz. The food. The parties. You can have a good time here. So we stayed. We allowed ourselves to have a second-class status to Southern white folks."

I live in Lansing. Blah food. No great music or nightlife scene. A good time is pretty tame--frisbee golf, maybe, as opposed to showing one's mammaries from a balcony. I guess it all comes down to priorities.

I still wish she would say it out loud for everyone to hear--not just those of us who really get it.

Well, there is one lady refugee who is a cook. You could bid for her services and try to coax her to Sacramento with a good job.

The city was corrupt and now it is no more.

They just flat out used the money for something other than on concern for their citizens.
