Note: This is an opinion piece only and does not necessarily represent the views of the Editorial Board. While New Orleans is more often recognized for its beads and beignets rather than biking, this changed with the 700 new ride share bicycles installed throughout the city in December of 2017. Upon approaching the 70 unattended […]
Trump’s decision to carry out the assassination of Iran’s top general is a very poorly calculated and dangerous action against a country that posed no imminent threat to our national security. After making headway with the Iran nuclear deal under the Obama administration, objectively suppressing Iran’s capacity to build a nuclear arsenal, we have gone […]
Once again the New Orleans Sewerage and Water Board is in the news with another systemic failure: its engines are literally burning and SWB did not pay its federal payroll taxes causing the IRS to file a tax lien. This time lip service and piecemeal solutions will not get the agency out of hot water. […]
“Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody.” ― Mark Twain The entirety of the Trump era is despised by 55% of Americans – deeply, and it’s only getting worse. But I suggest that we may be looking at this wrong. Trump’s dark side has been slowly […]
In the dark, early hours one summer in 2016, two people killed a man. We don’t know his name, because the journalists who reported his death never bothered to report his name. The two killers did not act in concert, and they didn’t know each other. In fact, they probably had never met. And […]
It’s how the headlines should have read on Sunday morning.

Due to this, we have re-elected a Democrat Governor for the first time in over 40 years. And nationally […]
In such a deeply divisive partisan political era, Governor John Bel Edwards deserves a lot of credit for working across the aisle to achieve considerable progress over the last four years. While we understand the concerns from progressives about some troublesome bills signed into law, we also believe that it’s important to not allow a […]
This October, people across Louisiana will have the power to help ease the affordable housing crisis in New Orleans. The Louisiana New Orleans Affordable Housing Property Tax Exemption Amendment on the ballot would allow the City of New Orleans to (a) exempt a portion of a property’s assessed value, (b) exempt the full assessed value […]
When you are a gay man, especially a gay man of my generation, you learn early that you are not like most of the other people around you. It can be a scary, lonely feeling in the beginning. Because everybody else knows it too. Even your parents know it. There is always this unspoken word […]
Ever since Drew Brees came to New Orleans, he has been a hero to me. The last thing my publication and I wanted to do was to defame an American hero. For the record, we don’t believe we have defamed him. Drew Brees has always shown class, dignity and respect in all of his encounters […]
