 A classic returns to the theatre tomorrow and Wednesday in Madison and Pearl,

The Apostle Paul lived in times when at least two governments were persecuting and even executing people who professed to be Christians. Rome and Jewish authorities particularly in Jerusalem persecuted and executed Christians. In both cases the law demanded Christians renounce Jesus or be persecuted or executed.

 The Ridgeland Police Department arrested a suspect in the murder of 15 year-old Marcus Hemmingway at an apartment complex on Pine Knoll Drive yesterday. 

Far be it from me to carry water for the Biden administration or to downplay the impact of inflation on working families as White House officials did in June when they dismissed rising prices as merely "transitory." When 87% of Americans say they are very or extremely worried about higher prices, and one out of 10 people say they can't afford to buy holiday gifts this year, it's a serious issue.

 The Ridgeland Police Department issued the following statement.

 Orlando- I have had a long history with this city. In the summer of 1972, when I was 10 years old, my uncle took my cousin and me to the newly opened Disney World. I don’t remember too much. But I do remember buying a fake plaster arm cast and a sling at the magic shop on Main Street and waited a week until I got home to trick my mom into thinking I had a broken arm.

 Jacktown Bud was shot to death at the Southside Barber & Beauty shop on McDowell Road.

 It is time to put up or shut up in Raymond. US District Judge Carlton Reeves issued a show cause order against the Hinds County Sheriff yesterday. Judge Reeves gave Hinds County 21 days to explain why he should not place the jail into receivership. The Court decreed:

 Tyree Jones administered an old-fashioned butt-whupping to Marshand Crisler at the ballot box tonight in the race for Hinds County Sheriff.

 Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey issued the following statement.

There is an election today in Hinds County to replace the late Sheriff Lee Vance. Who will it be? The veteran lawman Tyree Jones or the political puppet Marshand Crisler? Or to put it another way, Lee Vance's right hand versus Credell's footstool. However the footstool may win since the same people that brought you defunded police and 130 murders a year our support in him.  Consider this post to be an open thread for the election. 

 Remember Tiffany? She might want to be alone after this recent performance.

 The Clarion – Ledger is selling an asset on Commerce Street.

 The late Dr. Frank Pollard took up the story of Gideon in this 1993 sermon as he opened the sermon in a rather humorous fashion as he so often did.   If you couldn't make it to church, enjoy the make-up preaching.  

 Shall we debate the history and purpose of Thanksgiving, or humbly celebrate this national day for giving thanks?

 Check out the live music scene twenty years ago.

 Wow! JPD added all of five officers to the force. WLBT reported:

Media coverage and comments from elites have been exceptionally biased against Kyle Rittenhouse from the beginning, and continued well into his trial until the evidence shed new light on what happened. Even then the hardcore woke/LEFT crowd continued to blast Rittenhouse much like they had blasted Nick Sandman, the white teenaged boy who wore a MAGA cap on a high school field trip to the 2019 March for Life.

 "At a certain point, we have to trust one another," Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vermont, said Nov. 5 as he left a meeting of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

As the holidays quickly approach many of us will be eating dishes with pecans. From sweet potato casseroles to a good ole pecan pie, many holiday meals would not be the same without pecans; all thanks to our pecan growers.  Now, it’s no secret among my family that my favorite pie at Thanksgiving is Mississippi pecan pie with a cup of hot coffee.

Joey Tannehill appears on The Jambalaya with the Kingfish this week. Joey is a local bartender, bass player, and street philosopher. We discuss the music business, horror stories from the bar, how the pandemic decimated entertainment, and his time in the Vice Lords as a kid.

The board of trustees for the state’s Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS) made an important, if unheralded, move recently when it voted unanimously to use a somewhat more realistic projection of its rate of return on investments.

 The Justice Department issued the following statement. 

Although he has been rather quiet about it during the campaign for Sheriff, Marshand Crisler bragged about being shot as a deputy when he ran for mayor in 2009. The showboating backfired when the media dug deep and discovered he was shot because he busted down the door on a no–knock raid on the wrong home and was shot by a surprised resident. His vindictive partners went to prison for planting drugs on the poor schmuck.  It was almost like the Botham Jean case in reverse.
