LOUISIANA ELECTION DAY! MAY 16, 2026

LOUISIANA ELECTION DAY!  MAY 16, 2026
Written by A. G. Crowe, annotated by Jim "Gymbeaux" Brown, May 15, 2026

THIS NUGGET APPLIES TO EVERYONE ACROSS AMERICA, NOT JUST IN
SLIDELL, LOUISIANA. THE PLEDGE TO PAY FOR A FULL PAGE AD ONLY APPLIES TO THE SLIDELL AREA FOLKS, JUST SO YOU KNOW.

PERSONAL DISCLAIMER: I have been writing and posting Nuggets on this blog since 2008. I have been writing Nuggets since the early 1990s and have written more than 1000 of them most were originally written by me. The ones NOT posted where lost due to a computer failure. Occasionally I would post a Nugget (article) written by someone else which the case for this Nugget. It was written by a former Louisiana State Senator and friend, A. G. Crowe and it is a good one with Saturday, May 16 being primary election day in Louisiana. Sadly, this being an election date NOT involving a President of the United States, about 3 out of ever 10 Louisiana voters will be voting on Saturday. For the record, my wife and I already voted via absentee ballot. What that means is that 70% of eligible Louisiana voters will be deciding who our next U. S. Senator from Louisiana will be. As a disabled veteran, I find that deplorable and disgusting that so few people actually seem to care but then will be so quick to complain. With all that said, the following is the article by A. G. Crowe!

AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO THE CITIZENS/VOTERS OF SLIDELL

(From the “Someone has to stand up and say something Department!”)

A.G. Crowe, Former Louisiana State Senator

5-9-26

People typically choose a political party based on the values and beliefs they identify with. Likewise, they usually vote for the candidates they believe best represent those same values.

Slidell is widely known as a conservative city with strong traditional values. The majority of its voters identify as Republicans because they believe the Republican Party more closely reflects those values and principles. Certainly, there are conservatives in other parties, but it is important to remember what many Republicans believe their party stands for and why those beliefs matter to them locally here in Slidell.

Many conservatives point to several national issues that directly impact Slidell.

• Border Security: WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH US HERE IN SLIDELL? Republicans argue that Democratic border policies allowed millions of illegal immigrants into the country, creating concerns about public safety, a strain on our local resources, and future political influence or votes. Illegal immigrants ARE showing up at our local Slidell hospitals and ARE enrolled in our public schools utilizing resources that are supposed to be reserved for citizens . WE are paying for that. Is that fair? What party is responsible for this problem? The Democrats and their open border policy, disguised as the “humane thing to do” but really designed to get more votes. Is that appropriate, especially when millions of people are legally in line waiting to come into the US the right way? Many residents believe immigration enforcement should be strengthened, including cooperation between local law enforcement and federal agencies through programs such as 287(g). ICE WORK IS STILL ON-GOING HERE LOCALLY. WILL A DEMOCRAT ELECTED IN SLIDELL OPENLY & CONSISTENTLY ENDORSE 287(g) ENCOURAGING SLIDELL POLICE TO WORK WITH ICE TO GET RID OF VIOLENT ILLEGAL OFFENDERS OR BE PRESSURED BY THE PARTY TO DO WHAT THEY DEMAND?

• Support for Law Enforcement: Conservatives often criticize “defund the police” movements led by Democrats and believe law enforcement agencies should be fully supported, funded, and respected. Many voters deserve to know whether local elected officials will strongly support the Slidell Police Department and public safety initiatives.

• Government Shutdowns and Political Conflict: Many conservatives believe Democrats have used government funding battles and political gridlock as leverage against President Trump and Republican policies, creating disruptions that affect everyday people right here in Slidell. REMEMBER THE LINES AT THE AIRPORT? WE CAN THANK THE DEMOCRATS.

• Political Violence: Democrats' aggressive anti-Trump rhetoric is inspiring unstable individuals to commit acts of violence. DO WE WANT TO BREATH LIFE IN TO THE PEOPLE THAT RECENTLY DEMONSTRATED AT THE MAYOR'S PRAYER BREAKFAST RIGHT HERE IN SLIDELL? DEMOCRATS FUELED THESE CONFLICTS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND RIGHT HERE IN SLIDELL! POLITICAL RHETORIC SPEWED NATIONALLY IS HEARD BY LOTS OF PEOPLE EVERYDAY RIGHT HERE IN SLIDELL.

LET’S BE HONEST.

EVERY LOCAL ELECTION MATTERS AND PARTY AFFILIATION MATTERS. PARTY LABELS ARE THERE FOR A REASON. IT IS FOR THE PURPOSE OF TELLING VOTERS WHAT YOU STAND FOR. IF YOU STAND FOR THE POLICIES OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY THAT BELIEVES IN TAKING THE LIVES OF INNOCENT BABIES, MARRIAGE OTHER THAN ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN AND RACIAL GEREMANDERING FOR POLITICAL GAIN, THEN VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT.

Choosing a political party is a conscious decision. A candidate consciously chooses to identify with a party and the ideology that comes with it. Recently, a Democrat-appointed member of the library board voted against restricting age-inappropriate material in our Slidell library, material many parents believe could expose innocent children to pornographic content. Fortunately, enough conservative Republicans on the board voted in favor of restricting access to that material. IT WAS A DEMOCRAT THAT DID NOT WANT TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN.

And to those on the far left who have read this far........this is not about book banning or book burning. It is about protecting children from inappropriate content! Don’t use our innocent children to support your lies!

So why should anyone be surprised when elected officials act consistently with the party and ideology they chose to align themselves with? That, my friends, is a Democrat who will predictably function, at every opportunity, as a Democrat.

In today’s world, if you choose to be or vote for a Democrat, you are joining with the likes of Kamala Harris, Hakeem Jeffries, Chuck Schumer, Bernie Sanders, AOC, Gavin Newsom and Nancy Pelosi. Is that what we really want in our local leaders? WOULD THE CITZEN/VOTER OF SLIDELL ELECT SOMEONE WHO SHARES THE POLICIES AND BELIEFS OF THESE PEOPLE? I THINK NOT!

If you are a Democrat and proclaim that you DO NOT believe as your national party advocates, THEN CHANGE YOUR PARTY OR OPENLY DENOUNCE THEIR POLICIES! Millions of people all across our nation have already done so.

You can be the nicest, smartest, most popular and the most effective public servant on the planet but THESE ARE NOT THE REASONS TO VOTE FOR YOU. IT IS YOUR PARTY LABEL AND ITS POLICIES AND PLATFORM THAT IDENTIFIES YOU AND THE LABEL THAT YOU CHOSE TO PROUDLY WEAR.

Studies have consistently shown that local races can influence the direction, values, and priorities of the broader political system. Every elected office at any level counts!

No matter your political affiliation, study the issues carefully, ask candidates direct questions, and vote according to the values and principles you believe are best for Slidell, Louisiana, and the future of our country.

I will end with this pledge since there is still time to vote.

“If you are a Democrat candidate seeking any office in St. Tammany Parish and will publicly denounce the policies and direction of today’s Democrat Party and will sign an agreement to change your party affiliation from Democrat, I will personally pay for a full-page advertisement in the Slidell Independent endorsing your campaign.”

CAN YOU SEE IT?
IT’S RIGHT THERE
IN FRONT OF YOU!

“You can bring a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink!”
12^th Century, actual origin unknown

 This Nugget is brings a horse (you) to the water (the information) and there is no way to make you read it just as it is impossible to make the horse drink the water. Like the water, the information is there. All YOU have to do is, let it in!

The Frog in the Pot

If you drop a frog into a pot of boiling water, it will instantly jump out to save itself. But if you place that same frog into a pot of cool water, where it feels safe and comfortable, it will settle in. Then, if you slowly turn up the heat…the water warms little by little. The frog adjusts. It does not notice the gradual change.

The temperature keeps rising and still the frog adapts…until eventually, it becomes too weak to escape. By the time the danger is obvious, it is too late.

Over the past sixty years, America has become the proverbial “frog in the pot.” It began in the late 1950s when The Communist Party USA (yes, they are still alive and operating) put their final changes on “The Communist Goals for Taking Over America.” You can read them at:

http://www.rense.com/general32/americ.htm.

I learned about the forty-five goals when I read the book The Naked Communist written by W. Cleon Skousen. To say it was a revelation, would be a gross understatement! To make it even more dire, the document was made part of the Congressional Record verifying that our members of government were made aware of the goals. Regardless, it appears that no one put any emphasis on the forty-five goals and the ultimate outcome, the takeover of America without firing a shot, IF they were ever achieved. If you do not want to read them, you can watch them at:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4bE23W0PB0

I am aware that most people, certainly not you, will NOT take the time to access either the written list of goals or the video.  The goals are so important, I am posting them below.

Before you read them, please consider what Vladmir Lenin said,

"Give me your four-year-olds, and in a generation I will build a socialist state."

I have emboldened the specific goals that have already been achieved and are obvious to anyone who reads them. The question that everyone ought to ask themselves is, Do I believe in any of these goals? If so, you may or are part of the problem!

Pay attention to Goal #17 which reads: Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

Goal #17 has created a self-refueling engine that has created a never-ending line of teachers who consciously or unconsciously teach Communist philosophy in our schools. As Lenin said, we hand off our children to schools and teachers and expect them to teach our children reading, writing and arithmetic. However, it should be obvious that our children are gradually fed Marxist/Communist ideas. This teaching only becomes more in depth in grades 7 through 12. A graduating high school senior goes to college and continues the indoctrination through their graduation from college. This is the key to the silent takeover of America when college graduates become the future teachers of the next generation of children attending elementary/high school and college. Can you see that this is a possibility if not a reality? If the college student does not start a teaching career, they eventually become executives in corporations, the news media and Hollywood and the indoctrination continue.

The ONLY WAY to break this cycle, assuming you agree that the cycle exists, is for every parent to get involved with the education of their children and learn what they are taught in school. I can honestly say that as I grew up in the 1950s and 60s, I had never heard of anyone in any of the schools I attended being confused about their gender. Divorces were extremely rare and not that easy to obtain. I had never heard of any student ever attacking a teacher. No one to my knowledge ever questioned the honesty and transparency of a Catholic priest regarding sexual abuse of children; it was a non-subject!

The Communist Goals for Taking Over America are like warships and submarines. The warships know there is always the potential for danger. The submarines silently search for the enemy warships and approach them in silence. It fires its torpedoes toward the warships and the ships and crews are not aware of the lurking and eminent danger until it is too late. I would guess that very few Americans are aware of the Forty-Five Communist Party USA goals. The Party represents a submarine. The goals are the submarine’s torpedoes. Americans have been sitting ducks (warship) and are unaware that danger has been on their doorstep for over sixty years!

THE COMMUNIST GOALS FOR TAKING OVER AMERICA

1.  U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.

2.  U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.

3.  Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

4.  Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.

5.  Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.

6.  Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.

7.  Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.

8.  Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.

9.  Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.

10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.

11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, it demands that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in Congo.)

12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.

13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.

14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.

15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

18. Gain control of all student newspapers.

19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.

20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.

21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy, and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a "religious crutch."

28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."

29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."

31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.

32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.

33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.

34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.

37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.

38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].

39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use ["]united force["] to solve economic, political, or social problems.

43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.

44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.

45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.
