…you people can take this however you want. I doubt I’ll persuade many of you. Just understand that it’s the truth, and when it’s proven to be the truth by your own experience, maybe you’ll give attention to other things you see here.

Let me just get some facts out there.

First, you’re not going to recall Jeff Landry. You aren’t going to recall Liz Murrill, either. They’re statewide officials, and you’ve got to get more than 500,881 VALID signatures on a recall petition in order to force a recall election.

You’ve got six months to do it and it’s an impossibility. John Bel Edwards and Edwin Edwards didn’t get recalled. Neither did Kathleen Blanco after Katrina. Those were Democrat governors in a Republican state and they couldn’t get enough signatures for a recall. This is an utterly hopeless cause that you’re signing up for.

Even if it wasn’t hopeless and you could find the 600,000 or 700,000 signatures you need – because a good third of the signatures on any petition are going to be invalidated on residency, or a false signature, or whatever else; that always happens – within the next six months, now you’re asking for a recall election which would be held, in all likelihood, in early 2027.

Jeff Landry and Liz Murrill are up for re-election in the fall of 2027.

As yet, there are no candidates of any heft who have made any real public pronouncements about running against Landry or Murrill in the real election in 2027, much less this fictional recall election you’re signing up for.

So this is an utter waste of time. It’s a piece of political onanism which those of us on the opposite side of your ideology find utterly hilarious.

But there’s more to it than that, and this is why I’m addressing you.

The recall is not the product of the Power Coalition for Equity and Justice, or Together Louisiana, or the Louisiana Democrat Party. None of the usual-suspect left-wing organizations are behind it.

Not that those outfits putting it on would make it legitimate, they’re full of grifters in their own right to be sure. But they’re the ones who are behind what somewhat-effective community organizing projects we see in Louisiana, and none of them have anything to do with this.

Who’s running this recall?

Marian Gbaiwon and Kaitlyn-Patricia Collins.

Who, you ask?

Here’s Marian Gbaiwon’s website. At her bio page, you’ll find this…

Marian Gbaiwon is a Liberian-American creative visionary, entrepreneur, and advocate who builds movements, not moments.

Born in Newark, raised across Houston, Honolulu, Massachusetts, and now deeply rooted in Baton Rouge, Louisiana (where she’s lived over half her life), Marian brings a global lens shaped by extended time in Japan (Okinawa and Tokyo) and travel to Alaska, Mexico, and Jamaica. Her work blends cultural awareness, creative brilliance, and unapologetic truth.

She’s… a wedding photographer.

Now – I have nothing against wedding photographers. But that isn’t a professional curriculum vitae which confers big-time legitimacy on a recall petition.

Nor does this…

That’s the two of them making a Facebook video essentially telling anybody with a professional approach to the recall effort that they can buzz off.

This isn’t how successful recalls, not that there have been many in American history, work. Those efforts require all of the people willing to organize them and work for them to come together, put egos aside and work as a team. These two clowns are holding onto this like they’re Smiegel and it’s their precious.

Why? This is the part you’ll want to pay attention to.

Because they’re getting all of your contact information when you sign that petition. And when it’s over, and they’ve fallen well short of recalling Landry or Murrill, they’re going to sell your contact information to every buyer who comes in out of the rain with a sweaty wad of cash to help Miz Marian and Miz KaitlynPatricia with they billz.

You will be commoditized and monetized to the hilt and you will be spammed relentlessly until your dying day. That will be your reward for signing this petition.

Don’t you dare doubt me on this. It is plain as the nose on your face.

All for what? To virtue-signal about how much you hate Jeff Landry and how you think it’s a good look that Troy Carter and Cleo Fields are both Louisiana congressmen and an outrage that one of them would have to convince white people to vote for him in order to stay in Congress?

You’re willing to put your privacy in the lion’s mouth for that, knowing that you won’t even get the result you say you want?

I’d say nobody’s that stupid. But I know it would be wrong to say it. I saw what happened when grifters managed to mobilize stupid white leftists in Minnesota against ICE raids there. Renee Good and Alex Pretti sacrificed their lives in a vain attempt to keep ICE from deporting criminal illegal aliens – ICE was arresting a child molester when the fracas Pretti waded into and got himself killed broke out – because grifters induced them to.

I doubt Marian Gbaiwon is going to get any of the morons in the Bywater to die for her. But I wouldn’t put the house on it.

At least, I hope she can’t.

But that recall petition is a very obvious grift, and the fact that a small number of people are falling for it is as depressing as it is unsurprising. As P.T. Barnum said, there’s one born every minute.
