As we begin the Elite 8 tournament tonight and continue through the weekend I wanted to give an update with my view of the standings versus BearTiger who posted his as well. Some will argue St. George should be #1 and Mercy #2 based on the finals of the Mercy tournament but I stand pat on my list. Will there be an upset or two in the Elite 8 tournamant? Tune in soon to find out the outcome. KF…

In 2011 Louis Rouggly, a white man, did not just go find a building or even a store front to begin his mission, no he moved his entire family into the one most dangerous and dilapitdated neighborhoods in St. Louis. He felt he could change the neighborhood one person at a time. It was tough but this was not a Serpico moment. Everyone wondered what he was really doing there. He feared for his family but felt this is where he needed to be at that time. They heard gunshots quite often and rarely went outside at night. When I arrived at the building where Louis established his mission - LOVEtheLou, he was not ready to do the podcast. He wanted me walk with him around the neighborhood, to get a feel for what it was like. There there were boarded up buidlings and houses all over the area. Cars sped down the streets as if they were in a NASCAR race. People seemed to be friendly though and all knew Louis. There are 45,000 abandoned homes in St. Louis but the day I was there he gave away a home. I was moved and honored to be allowed to participate in the event. Louis also gave me a tour of the buildings his mission has purchased, a church and school to name a few. He has also torn down abandon houses and put gardens on empty lots where some of the kids are now responsible for maintaining. There are no grocery stores in the area and I truly understood the meaning the of Food Desert. We also talked about what it is like to be dependent on the government; how many have to stand in 21 or 22 different lines to get what they need to survive. They don't want to be dependent but they don't know how to get off. Louis is now teaching kids skills they can use to get a job and become successful. He gave me a tour of his shop where they kids can learn and then he introduced me to Jayvon. He is 18 now and has been coming here since he was 11. Jayvon told me he wants Louis's job and I believe he was have it some day. He started an open gym on Sunday afternoons on his own and now has about 30 people from ages 40 down to 4 coming in. Jayvon, as did Louis, give me hope that there are pockets within this country that really are trying to make a difference. Towards the end of our podcast I asked Louis why stories like his and Coach Roynell Young in Houston and so many others are not getting attention. These are stories of hope and people making difference. You will have to listen to hear his answer. KF…
For the past19 years some guy name BearTiger, who remains anonymous, post rankings on Tiger Droppings. Sometimes he is dead on and other years he is woefully wrong. He has now postted his rankings for the 2024-2025 season with comments on each ranked team. Many people have speculated BearTiger is me and in fact while I was in the hospitality room at the Dunham tournament the head varsity coach asked me if I was BearTiger. I assured him I was not but wished I could write that well. I am sure BearTiger will give updates throughout the season and I will keep you posted. Below is a link if you want to read it and most of the comments are worth it as well. https://www.tigerdroppings.com/rant/more-sports/19th-annual-csaa-formerly-csal-8th-grade-basketball-preseason-rankings/116518038/ KF…

This past Saturday, December 7th, the citizens of East Baton Rouge Parish elected Sid Edwards as the new Mayor. Sid beat out incumbent Sharon Weston Broome who has been Mayor for the past 8 years. Very few gave Sid a chance. He had very little money, was new to politics and the big donor Republicans for the most part were backing Ted James, a Democrat. Ted did not make the run-off and endorsed Mayor Broome. Apparently is endorsement had little impact. Sid received 5% of the the black vote in the primary and gained another 5% in the run-off. Some of Ted's supporters perhaps really did want a change. Coach Edwards is a fine man and now it is his time to see if he can bring Baton Rouge back to where it was. I truly hope he can and will continue to give updates on his progress. It is refreshing to see a non politician win and now have a chance to bring new ideas and put new people in positions to make a difference. KF…

On Saturday December 7th, the citizens of East Baton Rouge Parish will vote for Mayor-President. The question is do we want the same we have had for the past eight years or try something and someone different. Keeping same might be where Baton Rouge listed as 182nd out of 182 safest cities and 125th of 150th most desirable ciites to live in. I think we need change and believe Coach Sid Edwards can bring about that change. I am asking as a citizen of EBR to give him a chance. There are also 4 state constitutional amendments that will be voted on and finally the new city of St. George citizens will be voting on moving a 2% sales tax from EBR to the new city. I am not a citizen of St. George but believe moving the sales tax to the city is vital and necessary. So all who live in this city, this parish and this state I encourage you to get and vote. KF…

Sid Edwards never intented to run for political office. People had asked him to run for Mayor of Central and Parish Council in East Baton Rouge, but as he said "I am a head coach, not an assistant coach." Given the current political climate he considered running for Mayor and finally qualified on the last day. Not many gave him a chance and, in fact, several prominent Republicans decided to support one of the two major Democrat candidates. Just before election night the polls had Coach Sid running third at 23% while the two Democrats were at 28% and 29%. Although I thought he might make the run-off, even I was stunned when the final numbers of primary were in and Sid was leading with 34% and the current Mayor was at 31%. The Republican supported Democrat who was at 29% never moved from that number. Seems both nationally and locally pollsters did not get it right. What impressed me about Sid was he came in first with just $80,000 in campaign funds while the other two spent around $1.3 million. Sid's thought, along with many others is 70% of East Baton Rouge Parish voters voted for a change. I had never met Coach Sid until we did this podcast. I have followed him for years as both a football and basketball coach and he has had success at every school he has coached. He is currently coaching in one of the most impoverished areas of Baton Rouge and believes it is a calling. Just after we recorded this podcast, the democrat who came in 3rd endorsed the current Mayor which to me was a big surprise as the two went after each in several debates. The current Mayor put out an attack ad that was secretly recorded by an associate of hers. Guess party outweighs the nastiness that occurred between the two. Sid took the high road in the primary and also during the podcast. Personally, I think it comes down to - do we want four more years of the same as the last eight years or try something new. I believe we need to try something new. For the current Mayor to say during the last debate as part of her campaign "...You have someone who knows about a budget, who can craft a budget.." is not a great platform to run on. Homecides up in Baton Rouge and we need new leadership. Enjoy, KF…
Just prior to beginning my podcast with John Howell I was handed a document involving the United States vs five defendants being housed at Guantanamo Bay. Of the five is Khalied Sheik Mohammed and the others are his co-conspirators. I had every intention of reading what was on the page at the end of our podcast but there was an unexpected turn towards the of the podcast, fully justifiable, and I forgot to read the document. I decided instead it would make a perfect introduction to the podcast I did with John. KF…

On September 11, 2001, the United States was attacked. Terrorists flew planes into both World Trade Center towers in New York. George DiPasquale was a firefighter working at his precinct near the towers that morning. He and nine of his fellow crew members ran towards the towers and eventually entered the north tower. None of the ten, along with countless others made it home that day. John Howell is the brother of George DiPasquale and was working about 100 yards from the towers. He, like so many others, initially thought a small plane had flown into one of the towers and new the area would be cordoned off to investigate so he headed away. He had no idea his brother George was working that day, nor did he know George had run to the towers. It was not until later did he realize and it was then that he went back to the towers looking for George. John's pursuit of the truth is unbending and he has been to Guantanamo Bay twice and stared into the eyes of Kalid Sheik Mohammed. Many of us want to know why KSM and his co-conspirators are still alive. John may wander that too at times but his personal quest has led to a different understanding of what justice may mean than to you or I. KF…

There are few people I would say are a consumate salesman. Dave Cox is one of the few along with Gary Towler, Lloyd Baker and several others. He will make you laugh and smile even if you don't agree with him. He tends to text me all times of the day and night and I know I am not the only one. I have known Dave for years and have been wanting to do this podcast for quite some time. Ending up at his beautiful house in Charlotte, NC, he really did not have much choice. I promise he will make you laugh as well. He wears his politics on his sleeve but did not do so in this episode. He and his wife Trudy were gracious enough to host me for a day and a night as I was doing another podcast in Charlotte which I will post in a few days. Dave is a true friend and a personality like no other. So now I have finally managed to get out of the box with Dave Cox and you will too. KF…
As Hurricane Francine is about to hit the coast of Louisiana I try and give some perspective of being in the path of the storm. At one point Baton Rouge was directly in the path of the eye which can be the worst part of the storm. For some reason once Francine hit land it veered right and headed towards New Orleans. We still had heavy winds and non-stop rain for at least 8 hours. During the night I looked into my front yard and notice half of one of my large oak trees was down. As the sun came up I was able to assess the overall damage and now know I lost a big tree and possibly a few more. It fell away from the house which is good because had it fallen on the house it might have exactly where I was sitting in the living room. But alas it did not and all is good. KF…

In this Episode of The Freeman Report, my son John and two of his friends, all turning 40, give their take on the Greatest Rock Bands of the 1980's and 1990's. Nephew David Dellucci was also supposed to participate but he had a sudden conflict so I did his list. Tyler Downing filled in for David on short notice and did a masterful job. Will Leblanc is probably more prepare than just about anyone but me. His and John's knowledge of these bands and their take is worth listening to. Although i knew most of the bands all chose, my knowledge of them is nothing like the 60's and 70's bands. There was some crossover but their perspectives of why they were chosen is different. My original take was it would be bands formed in those two decades but they felt the bands had to be relevant in that time period. Listen and you too may gain some insight into the minds of these three guys who are turning 40 this year. In fact we gave John and Hilary a big 40th birthday bash just last weekend. Hope you enjoy and would love feedback as well that you can send to me at jkfreeman11@cox.net. KF…

He was a world class athlete and ran in three Olympics, won the NCAA in the 1500 meters for the University of Arkansas and two world indoor championships. After receiving a degree in Civil Engineering from UA he went to get his MBA and not satisfied with that, a law degree. He became the Chief Marketing Officer for Alltel Wireless headquartered in Little Rock, AR. After the sale of Alltel to Verizon he was then asked to become the CEO of Allied Wireless which was eventually sold to AT&T in 2013. Frank was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 2010, yet he managed to build Allied Wireless in a successful company while he was in the early stages of Parkinson's. In fact, when first diagnosed he refused to and thought if was merely a sports related injury. He has no tremors or speech issues so there was no way in his mind he had Parkinson's. Having met Frank and read his book 'Bend, Don't Break', I can tell you he is an extraordinary man and one I am proud to know. His story, athletically, professionally and personally is one worth hearing. He will inspire you as he did me. There is so much more Frank wants to do and I have no doubt he will conquer whatever he sets his mind to. Enjoy, KF…

The response to my episode on Finding Hope was truly overwhelming. I did not expect nor anticipate so many reaching out. Having started a new trial drug today for my PBC, not sure if I have the placebo or the real drug, the trial will last about a year. My intent is to offer to be a participant in any new trial they start. Was a little concerned this morning because of new medicaton I am on for a newly discovered issue named Facet Synovitis. That was discovered last week after I had my first ever MRI. Being treated but headed to Italy on Thursday so hopefully I can get some relief but was more concerned about drugs being compatible. Apparently they are so off I go but I express my heartfelt thanks to all of you who reached out. Now at then end of this episode I have a challenge for you and I hope you take up the cause.
