The Freeman Report

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 pundit...

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 greates...

I want to extend a Happy Father's Day to all Dads but I pay tribute to my Dad, who to me was the greatest Dad of all time.  He passed away 15 years ago yesterday and I miss him dearly. KF

This is the first in a series of what I am calling Weekly Digest.  It will be about current events.  Still will continue to do other topics as well. Enjoy, KF

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

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 th...

There is a lot going on in the around the world with the war, in our country constant protests and even in my state with a recent Supreme Court Ruling.  Just giving my take on a few of these and even offer a few possilbe solutions to gerrymandering. KF

Last week there was a senseless killing in my home town of Baton Rouge at the Mall of Louisiana when shots were fired by two rival gangs.  The mall is located in what most people would call a safe part of town.  Not anymore.  At least that is the story so far.  A week prior 8 children were murdered by their father in Shreveport, LA over a domestic dispute. The other night another assassination att...

In this episode I talk about our 18 year old teacup yorkie and getting the call after her six month check-up fromt the Vet saying you need to come in to talk about your dog.  I knew it was not good at that point. But here is the story. KF

Have you traveled since the latest partial shutdown started.  In major aiports lines can weave all the way outside as one did in New Orleans.  It actually went into the parking garage.  Just got back from Puerto Rico and that airport was crazy but just about everyone was civil.  Saw two people who never even made it to TSA screening and missed their flights.  Who is to blame?  To me the answer is...

Well by Scott the Khakis are now off and I explain in this episode what that meant.  The Elite 8 tournament is finally over but not without some questioning of the seedings just prior to the start of the tournament.   By halftime of several games there looked to be potential upsets.  How did they turn out - listen. Enjoy, KF

By Scott I intend to wear my khakis as long as the Bears are winning. Finally, the Baton Rouge CSAA Elite brackets for 2026 are out and the tournament begins this week.  In my opinion any one of five teams can win the tournament with the championship game taking place this Sunday night.  Really, any one of the eight teams that made the tournament can win it all but I give my take on why I think on...

One of the very first podcasts I did was 'Why men wait until it it too late to go to the doctor'.  Recently I did not heed my own podcast advice.  I do wish to thank the medical that is helping me ge through this.  Just wished I would have listened to what my body was telling me.   So I urge you to listen to your body and if something does not feel right, do not wait as I did. KF

The Elite 8 Championship is about a month away and half way through this season has been one to remember.  I give my top 8 standings that many may disagree with but any of the top 3 could be #1.  Someone has to be.  Have not seen this much parity in a long time. KF

Many all over the country who have played in this league in years past anticipate the annual preseason rankings for the Baton Rouge CSAA league.  Doctors, lawyers and business men living in virtually every state from A-Z may remember playing for one of the teams. Altough the name of the league may have changed several times, the fierce competion remains. The preseason rankings were posted before t...

Having done a podcast with someone that has Parkinison's, Frank O'Mara and someone who has Dementia, Austin Goings, never did I think the two might meet but in researching for this podcast I discovered there is something called Parkinson's Disease Dementia.  There are numerous types of dementia and the most prominent is Alzheimer's.  But how does a doctor discern which type a p...

I never really thought much about Caregivers until recently when I had a conversation with a family member taking care of her sister.  Caregivers to me were in the medical field and were mostly associated with hospice, those that came in to help someone at the end of life.  My view was totally wrong! The Mind Center located in Jackson, MS has a program called Caregiver University where they educat...

John, Foster and I just spent 3 great days in Virginia.  Foster and I traveled aroudn the state visiting several Civil War battlefields while John worked and the three of also managed to go to VA Tech/MIami football game in Blacksburg.  Was certainly different in Lane stadium than Tiger stadium.  People were nice and love the intro with Enter Sandman.  But LSU takes tailgating to a whole other lev...

I discuss the big college football games for week 12 and we are now in the period where many are right on the edge - lose and they are out of the playoffs. Win and they still have a chance to make the CFP.   Additionally, I traveled to Michigan and Ohio this past week and all airports seemed calm and the TSA personnel were very professional without having received a paycheck in about a month.  The...

Last week LSU had an interim President, head football coach and athletic director.  Today we now have a president and AD.  I am not infatuated with the choice for president as some alums I have spoken to feel the same way.  Many think he was railroaded in as the choice of the governor who also supposedly had a hand in the firing of Brian Kelly and Scott Woodward, the AD.    My personal feeling is...

Dave Cox is in Baton Rouge to attend the LSU - Texas A&M game and came on the Freeman Report as a guest for the second time.  We recap week 8 games and then preview some upcoming games this weekend of Week 9.   Enjoy

Week 7 saw a few upsets and surprises and Week 8 in college football has some games where the loser will probably fall out of CFP contention.   Another coach got fired last week and I am not a fan of the buyout clause for coaches who get let go.  James Franklin will get $49 million after being terminated by Penn St. To me you pay for success and sometimes when coaches do well and schools want to k...

I sit down with Mayor Sid Edwards of East Baton Rouge Parish to talk about his first nine months in office, the highs and lows and also his thougths on Governor Jeff Landry requesting National Guard troops for Shreveport, New Orleans and Baton Rouge.  When Coach ran for office he was a political novice.  He is that no more and sees a bright future for Baton Rouge. Enjoy KF

Jordan LaHaye Fontenot's Great Grandfather, Aubrey LaHaye, was kidnapped and murdered in January of 1983.  He was a prominent banker and entrepeneur in the small south, central Louisiana town of Mamou.  Her great grandmother, Emily, was with Aubrey that fateful morning and saw the abducter before being tied to their bed.  Her later testimony would become crucial during the trial.  The FBI was...

In this episode i recap big games from Week 5, some surprising and then review a few upcoming games for this week. Enjoy, KF
