Mark Ballard: Despite claims from the politicians, stimulus spending not the only cause of inflation
Just prior to Thanksgiving, U.S. Sen. John N. Kennedy took to the Senate floor to say, correctly, that this holiday season people would see more expensive groceries and gasoline because of the steepest inflation in 31 years.
It was a cool, brisk Saturday morning in New Orleans as my wife and I made our way from the parking garage at the Caesars Superdome. (I’m still getting used to that name.)
President Biden has nominated Baton Rouge-born and Clinton-raised Shalanda Young to be the nation’s director of the Office of Management and Budget, an agency the president called the “nerve center of our government.”
Of all the myths associated with COVID-19, one of the most pervasive is that the virus is essentially harmless for children.
When I attended LSU's law school — more than 50 years ago — we studied Louisiana criminal statutes. These statutes allowed for nonunanimous jury verdicts. When I became a lawyer, it was clear to me that many of Louisiana’s criminal statutes dispro…
Two top news stories on the same day: Louisiana public school teachers' salaries are some of the lowest in the country and the salary for the new head football coach at LSU is the highest in the country.
Billy Napier contributed plenty in four years to the growing prestige of Ragin’ Cajuns football.
Nobody loves LSU sports more than me.
Are you a stay-at-home voter or do you know one? An ungrand total of 191,892 registered voters in New Orleans didn’t care enough about the city to exercise their civic duty and vote on who will be mayor for the next four years.
I met my baby earlier than most but was prohibited from holding her because she was fighting for her life. She had to leave immediately for the neonatal intensive care unit. The tiny size of her body, 1 lb. 10 oz., initially masked her humanity be…
Welcome to LSU, Coach Kelly.
Success and service mark Acadian Ambulance’s half-century in business.
Those of us who have attended some of Tulane's home football games can say that this university really knows how to keep its fans away. The horrible foghorn, prior to each opponent's third down, blasts out an ear-piercing, deep blow for six consec…
It must be "Follow the politics, not the science.”
Regarding the Oct. 7 article in this newspaper entitled "Report: Steel beams near top of Hard Rock underdesigned," I have only one comment.
This is in response to the article, "Council eyes tax to fund day care."
The end of hurricane season is always welcome hereabouts, so let's circle Nov. 30 on the calendar.
Around here. you’re never far from a Popeye’s Louisiana Kitchen.
For French citizens, the name of Louisiana resonates like no other. Three hundred years of shared heritage means much more than historical facts. We share a culture, a language, a joie de vivre, a common past.
How did we reach the point of having dozens of abandoned street repair projects creating blight and dangerous conditions in our New Orleans neighborhoods?
Michael Lunsford, executive director of Citizens for a New Louisiana, prides himself on #winning and #persistence. However, he recently appeared for the first meeting of the Voting System Commission, as the appointee of Attorney General Jeff Landr…

Although I have not practiced criminal law for many years, I have always believed that the 10-2 jury verdict law is patently unconstitutional.
The argument against split-jury verdicts is insane. The U.S. Supreme Court makes life-or-death decisions every day based on a simple majority.
Whoever said there is no such thing as a bad idea apparently never read the recent article by Parag Khanna in The Washington Post.
Welcome home, Bayou Classic.
When his children were toddlers, Steve Scalise surely told them wondrous stories. He continues to create tales unrooted from reality such as his recent column.
As an LSU alumnus, I encourage President William Tate to follow the advice of LSU's first president, William Tecumseh Sherman, when he said, "The way to success is strategically along the way of least expectations and tactically along the line of …
More than 4 in 10 Louisianans reported anxiety and depression symptoms in a recent U.S. Census Bureau survey — the highest in the nation. It comes as no surprise, based on our research.
When LaToya Cantrell succeeded Mitch Landrieu as mayor, this newspaper opined, “She came into office in 2018 facing chronic infrastructure woes, nowhere more than at the Sewerage & Water Board, and large areas of dysfunction even after Mitch L…
