Uncensored. There is no filter for this podcast and what you hear is exactly what is said. I Interview people about Current Events or Societal Issues that many want to know about but don't know how to. It also interviews with ordinary people that are extraordinary. I believe we are all extraordinary if we dig deep enough.

    Louisiana Parole Project

    Andrew Hundley was sentenced at the age 15 to life in prison for a heinous crime.  Due to a Supreme Court ruling regarding life sentences for minors, he managed to get out after 19 years with time served.  He could have quietly tried to assimilate back into society working a regular job, but instead he chose to give back and while attending LSU to get a degree he co-founded the Louisiana Parole Project.  The organization provides advocacy, training, education, social skills, housing, etc. for prisoners about to be released or those that have already been released.  In fact, the LPP just assisted the 701st client who recently got out.  The Louisiana Parole Proect assists both men and women.  While still in prison they must learn a skill and get at least one certification.   What started out as a mission for Andrew Hundley, who is also the current Exectuve Director, has now become a full-time vocation.  He and his group are helping formally incarecerated persons become productive in society.   Also in the interview is john Paul Funes, who was a pillar in the Baton Rouge Medical and Business Community until he, using his words, "got greedy"  John Paul spent 33 months in a federal prison in Indiana but is now part of the Project. I must say I was one who always felt if someone committed a crime they needed to stay behind bars.  My trip to Angola, the Louisiana State Penitentiary, gave me a different perspective.  Afterall, 90% of all inmates will one day get our of prison and we need them to be good, productive citizens.  I truly believe this program could be emmulated in all 50 states.  Right now Louisiana is the only one doing it on this scale. Enjoy, KF If you want to know more about the LPP please visit their website at:      www.paroleproject.org.

    Colorado Has Now Spoken & Happy 250th America!

    This past week another Democrat Socialist, Melat Kiros, defeated long time Denver congresswoman, Diane Degette.  Kiros has even made the comment that the U.S. deserved 9/11.  Is this where we are heaed? Also give my take on Stephen A. Smith lambasting the L.A. Lakers for trading for Walker Kessler and the fact that their three best players are now white.  Really and no comments from ESPN or pundits on racial comment. We are also celebrating our 250th birthday in the greatest country on earth.  We need to be proud of it.  Please thank those who are serving or have served whenever you can.  Their sacrifice keeps our country safe.

    New York Has Spoken and Visit to Angola State Penitentiary

    This past week New York City voted for 3 Democrat Socialists  for Congress and 5 others for state or local offices.  All supported by Mayor Mamdani.  Is this where the Democrat Party is headed?  I believe a fight for control of the party is coming. Last night Louisiana republicans elected Julia Letow to be in the runoff for U.S. Senator.  Even in her speech she said she thinks Trump is the greatest President ever.  Maybe a littel history lesson is in order but that is her belief. This past Thursday I visited Angola where the worst of the worst criminals in Louisiana are sent.  I was there with the Louisiana Parole Project and plenty more to come from that. Caitlin Clark is continuing to get beaten up in the WNBA and the league does not seem to care.  If she leaves they will all care plenty. Finally, the full moon last night was truly extraordinary! Enjoy, KF

    What The Hell is Happening With California Elections

    California held elections last Tuesday and they are still not close to declaring who will be in the runoff for both L.A. Mayor and Governor.  This in supposedly the Tech Capital of the world.  They may still not be complete a week out and does this play into the Democracts hands?   Also a little more on my home state politics, Sissy and a music note. Enjoy, KF

    Louisiana Politics and a little National Politics

    In less than two weeks we have seen several long term and prominent Republican Senators and a U.S. Congressman get defeated as Trump endorsed their opponents.  Bill Cassidy, a friend and former school mate came in 3rd here in Louisiana while long term Texas Senator, John Cornyn lost in his primary to Trump endorsed AG Ken Paxton.  One of the two candidates in the runoff in Louisiana even stated that President Trump is the greatest president the United States has ever had.  Guess who has his endorsement?   What I don't want are politicians who will do all of his bidding without hesitation.  I want politicians on both sides of the aisle that can think and weigh what they believe is the right decision.  Is there where we are headed?  Is the legislative branch not an independent branch of government any more? Also cannot wait for the Los Angeles mayor's race coming up soon! Enjoy, KF
