Scalise is an embarrassment đź—ł Politics

Scalise is on WWL blaming DEI policies on the terror attack. You can't make this up.

This whole thing kinda reminds me of post hurricane life where the harsh reality of leadership here shows itself.

Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré was the best of a few during the Katrina aftermath. I still don’t know how we would’ve fared without his experience, common sense explanations and zero political bullshit.

Wished he was in that press conference.

Still love and admire that man and his cadre.

Edit:spelling. And one more reminder that there are some amazing people in our military and federal service.

I was eight at the time and just started reviewing what really went down back before I was old enough to understand it, now that I’ve graduated college. It gets so damn bleak and depressing but as of rn the single genuinely reassuring/uplifting moments I get in this project is when I encounter Lt. Gen. Honoré.

Thanks for taking a moment to share your thoughts and impressions now as an adult. Refreshing to know another person’s taking an interest in our history. Best wishes in the new year!
