First Amendment Champion Larry Flynt Has Died
Free speech champion, and business mogul, Larry Flynt has died at the age of 78-years-old.
Flynt was involved in multiple free speech lawsuits throughout his career, including winning a 1988 Supreme Court case. His fight for free speech in America was so compelling, it was turned into a 1996 biographical film called
The People vs. Larry Flynt, where Flynt was played by Emmy Award winner Woody Harrelson.
Before his business career, Flynt was enlisted in the United States Navy, where he was a radar operator. As legend goes, he was the radar operator on duty aboard the USS Enterprise when the ship was sent to recover John Glenn s space capsule. He was honorably discharged from the Navy in 1964.

Many people are trying to get their COVID-19 vaccine as fast as possible. But the rollout has been painfully slow across the country, especially in Louisiana.
Part of the slow rollout has been rules for priority groups. Those rules have muddied between different Federal and State government organizations. Including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which has made priority recommendations to states, but they haven t had wide acceptance from all states.
According to the CDC, those who smoke are more at risk for adverse outcomes from COVID-19 than non-smokers. The CDC is pointing to multiple studies from across the country that say people who smoke are more likely to be hospitalized, or die, after being diagnosed with COVID-19.

COVID-19 numbers are dropping across Louisiana, the number of vaccines are going up, and parts of New Orleans will be reopening.
According to updated guidelines, New Orleans restaurants will be able to increase their occupancy, many businesses will be able to go up to 50% occupancy, and outdoor gatherings of 25 will again be allowed in the city. However, bars will be forced to stay closed, no matter what the COVID-19 data says.
City officials have decided they will keep New Orleans bars relatively shut down through Mardi Gras. This doesn t have much impact on the bars who were given special restaurant permits, but really impacts the bars without kitchens, like mainly around Bourbon St.
