Know Your Enemy: Joe Stagni and Fake Republicans
Joe Stagni's Sno-Ball-Job of Amanda Eberts, The Latest Wake Up Call for GOP Voters
If you’re a politician, it’s not that hard to fool people. All you have to do is lie, trick and deceive the voters for a few months before an election, and the majority of them will obediently fall in line. Take Democrats, for example: Without piling on too hard, wouldn’t it be safe to say that all they need to hear are a few buzz-words about Racism, Sexism and Climate Change to fall into a political trance which delivers their propagandist overlords a one-way ticket to their chosen seat of power?
But what about us? Can most of us admit that we were fooled for years by the likes of Bush I, Bush II, McCain and Romney? And even though we’ve woken up A LOT since the sham election of 2020 are we still all that good at spotting the enemies in our midst - especially at the state level, where we should supposedly know better? And then when we do spot these snakes in the grass (FYI, it’s more snakes than grass) have we created any meaningful infrastructure to punish and be rid of them?
Before we get to Joe Stagni, let’s start with a conversation I had with a cousin of mine about Princess Diana many years ago. (I have no opinion on Princess Diana’s ethics. The anecdote is to illustrate a point.) He thought she was completely useless, which I thought seemed unfair. “I thought she was a good person, though! Didn’t she help get rid of all the landmines somewhere or other?” I reasoned with him.
“Well, what else is she going to do?” He countered. I understood instantly.
In other words, when evaluating those seeking power, their public image might not only be fake, but it may be the biggest tell that they are rotten to the core.
Let’s get closer to home, starting with Ronnie Johns, the state senator who skipped out on the 2021 Louisiana Veto Session so as not to jeopardize his imminent appointment as Louisiana Gaming Commissioner. He had clearly sold out his constituents for personal gain, chalking his absence at the Veto Session up to a “bum leg”, no less. The people fighting for results at that session were livid as was I, and it led to efforts to derail his appointment.
It was then that I visited his campaign website and saw the various “values” that this scam-artist was selling people and what seared into my memory the most was the emphasis on his “Pro-Life” principles. Knowing this man was in politics for completely selfish reasons gave those cookie-cutter, Pro-Life pledges completely new meaning to me. Much like “Racism”, “Sexism” and “Climate Change” for the Democrats, I saw “Christian”, “Conservative” and “Pro-Life” as the linguistic bait that dirty politicians would dangle before gullible Republicans; a convenient shortcut around credibility on the way to their filthy feast at the public trough.
Are we able to recognize these people yet? Let’s try another one, but a much more subtle example this time. Jeff Landry. Yep, that Jeff Landry. The one that’s almost certain to be our next governor. Based on his invaluable work in Missouiri Vs. Biden, he has already earned his cake-walk campaign as far as I’m concerned. But it’s no secret that he’s just mailing it in. Have you heard his sleepy ads about supporting the police? Who cares? That would be like telling a Republican that you like American Flags. Then there are his other ads about what a swell wife he has and how everything is so swell in Values-Land. When I hear those ads, I wonder what he’s hiding. And very conspicuously, he has been utterly silent on election integrity.
So who is he? Who is he really? And does he REALLY pass “The Test”? Time will tell, though it just doesn’t feel right. But there is one man in Louisian who definitely DOES NOT pass “The Test”:
RINO Joe Stagni.
If you weren’t already aware, Joe Stagni is the state representative for District-92 in Kenner who has recently been heavily maligned by reputable members of the Louisiana grassroots as well as The Hayride. His unsavory record in Baton Rouge led to a challenge to his seat by 20 year-old, Turning Point USA representative Amanda Eberts. Within days of her filing, Stagni ally Linda Scharwath filed to have Amanda knocked out of the race because of (you can’t make this up) a job at a Sno-Ball stand when she was 16 where she didn’t file a tax return. Here’s an exerpt from the NOLA.com article:
”The lawsuit challenging Eberts' candidacy was filed by Linda Scharwath, wife of Kenner City Council member Ronnie Scharwath, who is a Stagni supporter. “
Is there really any need to explain how repulsive this is?
So let’s move on to “The Test”. We’ll throw in the likes of Mike Pence, Mike McCarthy, Chris Christie, Marco Rubio, Mitch McConnell and on and on through the list of Republican politicians that you once supported but now see through like a greasy bag of fried chicken. None of them pass The Test because none of them do What YOU Would Do!
Isn’t that an easy enough test? Not only to remember but to FEEL? It’s honesty radar!
If you were running for the state house and an idealistic “youth” came up to challenge you, What Would YOU Do? Would you pull out every ruthless trick at your disposal to crush the Sno-Ball girl or would you take her under your wing, seeing an ALLY in the fight for national survival that our country is currently going through?
If our loathsome governor was trying to bribe you with a sweetheart job in exchange for sabotaging a hard-earned veto session, would you choose the slimy system or the people? What Would YOU Do?
If you were running for governor, would you fumble around the shadows wrapping your campaign in eye-glazing cliches, or would you embrace the opportunity with a vigorous campaign that was unmistakably for the people? Well? What would you do?
Politics have changed A LOT since Donald Trump was elected president in 2016. We’ve seen the Deep State almost completely exposed, we’ve joined forces with (some) people on the left who see the real issue facing all of us - The People Vs The Powerful - and many of us are starting to see the phony Republicans with greater and greater clarity with every act that YOU WOULDN’T DO. Almost as importantly, we’ve started to see what a REAL politician should look like. First it was Trump. Now we’re seeing the likes of Vivek and even a Democrat in RFK. These guys are doing what we WOULD do. They are telling the truth and they are standing among us rather than above us.
We need to continue this trend where the people unite and where we all turn our focus on the real enemies - the Democrats AND Republicans who have abused this country from the precinct level all the way up the White House. We cannot afford to turn a blind eye to our own back yard just because it seems inconsequential. That’s what has led to the rot seeping into every corner of America, because we’ve all been hypnotized by party, by political symbolism and by lowering our standards just because some of these politicians were “our guys”.
Well none of them are our guys unless they prove it, and unless you feel it.
So raise your Sno-Balls high in solidarity with Amanda Eberts and don’t ever forget what Joe Stagni did TO ALL OF US or what scoundrels like him have reduced this country to. It’s up to us to get rid of them. Don’t let THEM define your standards, demand that they do what YOU would do.
