Jackson Jambalaya

 Hinds County District 2 Supervisor David. L. Archie is holding a press conference right now.  Don't know what it is about so tune in below. 

 Jackson State University issued the following press release.

This afternoon, the bankruptcy court entered an order approving the Settlement Agreement in the Express Grain bankruptcy case. The Settlement Agreement settles most, but not all, of the disputes between Farmers, EG, and the warehouse receipt holders about who has an interest in the grainproceeds in the bankruptcy estate.

 A reader witnessed a little crime in Jackson this past weekend.  

Crime must be getting pretty bad if Bill Maher notices. Mr. Real Time went on the warpath about crime Friday night but oddly enough, didn't point the finger at anyone. 

 A pile-driving barge capsized Friday night by Forest Park at the Rez.  

Wisdom always seems to be in short supply.  Such is true in the past, such is true today, and such will be true tomorrow.  The late Dr. Frank Pollard (First Baptist Church-Jackson) preached on what it means to be wise in this 1993 sermon.  He presented his message in his usual style that was serious but not boring and at times entertaining.  Enjoy. 

 A conservative proposition: State government should only provide the services our people need and only tax enough to cover costs for these needs.

HBO dropped The House of the Dragon trailer recently.  A prequel to the series with the infamous season eight, The House of the Dragon tells the story of the Targaryan rise to power.  The show lacks several flaws that doomed its predecessor. The Fat Man actually finished the book (bastard),  thus providing a script for the showrunners to follow.  Speaking of showrunners, D & D are not affiliated with the project as Miguel Sapochnick is in their stead.  He directed the best episodes of the earlier series such as Hardhomme, Battle of the Bastards, and the best episode of all, The Winds of Winter. Enjoy the trailer posted below.

What an odd intersection of emotions. This past Sunday many celebrated Mother’s Day at church while others protested at the same churches in favor of mothers’ rights to abort their children. Imagine the emotions of mothers who had chosen to abort their children interacting with mothers who had chosen to carry their children to birth. If emotions were not high enough, imagine how the thoughts of church influenced all of these mothers. 

 Eight-week old Khalysie Lashay Jolley died this afternoon.  She was born on March 10.  Pearl Police charged Makaylia Jolley with capital murder. Please comment in yesterday’s post.  

 Some drama took place under the interstate yesterday as a man attacked a woman in the middle of traffic.  Thankfully, the person shooting the video rescued the woman and took her to the police precinct. Good job.  

  The effect of Western sanctions may cause historians of the future to look upon the conflict in Ukraine as a net defeat for Russia. In terms of the military struggle itself, however, Russia is winning.

 The Mississippi Veterans Affairs Board issued the following statement. 

A nine-week old baby is expected to die after her mother repeatedly threw her baby on the street on Biederman Road yesterday in Pearl.  Pearl Police charged Makaylia Jolley with attempted murder. 

 The Commish declared war on crime in Jackson yesterday.  WLBT reported: 

 Red Mountain Entertainment announced country music star Chris Stapleton will appear in Brandon in July. 

 Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens issued the following statement. 

In the aftermath of a leaked Supreme Court draft majority decision prospectively overruling Roe v. Wade, the Left in the United States has gone into full-fledged panic mode. That outsized panic has manifested as a variety of unconvincing or blatantly immoral arguments: the argument that abortion is a necessary adjunct to women's freedom -- as though contraception doesn't exist, and as though women are never responsible for their own sexual decisions and the consequences thereof; the argument that unless society provides for any number of government programs, abortion should not be prohibited -- as though the solution to lack of universal child care is the death of the child; the argument that conservatives will next attempt to outlaw interracial marriage -- an absurd slander on its face.

 The Pearl Police Department issued the following statement. 

An affidavit reports eight people were shot at the Mudbug Festival as law enforcement officers heroically stopped a shootout from becoming deadly.  The affidavit was submitted during a bond hearing for alleged shooter Calvin Berry, Jr.  

 The city of Ridgeland issued the following statement. 

 State Auditor Shadrack White fired a salvo at a certain online newspaper in Ridgeland on Facebook: 

Another front opened in the Rubbish Royale of Jackson as the City Council asked a Hinds County Chancellor to bar Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba from vetoing negative votes of the Council.

 Someone got a little creative in crossing the frontage road at Northside Drive. 

JPD issued the following statement. 

 Rankin-Madison County District Attorney Bubba Bramlett issued the following statement. 

 It’s graduation season. This year’s high school seniors have experienced an extremely uncharacteristic high school career filled with Zoom classes, masks, and mandates. But this this once-in-100-years craziness appears to be over. We are, once again, hosting graduation ceremonies with caps, gowns, cords, and commencement addresses. 

 Scene from the Mississippi River Bridge in Baton Rouge.  

 As predicted months ago, Mississippi is now the epicenter of America’s divisive, bitter abortion rights debate.

 There is a regional authenticity to certain food and beverage products, which is one reason that we make distinctions between the different coffees coming from Brazil, Ethiopia or Hawaii.

 What did he say and when did he say it? Such questions seem to escape WAPT's star reporter as he fabricated a story about MDAC Commissioner Andy Gipson last week.   

After days of reporting scandal and crime on this website, the readers could use a break. Nothing to lighten the mood then some good ole Shakespeare.   Enjoy some thespians at work.  

 Nothing like brotherly love when there is so much hate in the world. 

 Mississippi Veterans Affairs Chief of Staff Melissa Wade enjoyed a rather meteoric rise in her short career at the agency.  

 Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba issued the following statement. 

 The Brandon Police Department issued the following statement. 

The Mississippi Attorney General is finally trying to claw back the welfare funds shoveled out to the Krewe of New.   Brad Pigott sued John Davis, Nancy New, and 36 other defendants for TANF funds gained through illegal means in Hinds County Circuit Court today. Some of the high-profile defendants include: Ted "The Million Dollar Man" Dibiase, Sr., Ted "No Dollar" Dibiase, Jr., Brett Dibiase, Nicholas "Uncle Hushpuppy" Cronin Coughlin, Paul Lacoste, Brett Favre, and Marcus Dupree.  Never let it be said the Phil Bryant and the Krewe of New weren't jock-sniffers.  

JJ is still reading the lawsuit but it is posted below.  Stay tuned.

Campbell's Bakery announced it is for sale on Facebook this morning: 

 Posted below are some photos of Capitol Street businesses after last night's shootout. 

Correction: The shootout took place between the Daiquiri Bar and Mill Street.  Witnesses told JJ the shootout occurred outside of the Daiquiri Bar.  However, law enforcement said it was halfway down the block to Mill Street.  A witness said the target left the bar but law enforcement think he left the King Edward Hotel.   Law enforcement reports there were no injuries.

Original post: A shootout took place at where else but outside of the Daquiri Bar on Capitol Street a few minutes ago. 

 Undefeated is undefeated no matter how you slice it, hehe. 

The late Dr. Frank Pollard honored mothers in this 19981 Mother's Day Sermon.  Enjoy and Happy Mother's Day.

 Too many Mississippi politicians focus on the wrong kind of migration. 

 Live by the pub, die by the pub as William Edwards found out this week.  Polo's ex roasted him on Facebook a few months ago and that is putting it mildly. Have fun, Saturday night drunks. 

Remember when President Reagan said, “It isn't so much that liberals are ignorant. It's just that they know so many things that aren't so.” Offspring of those liberals have grown up to be extreme far LEFT woke progressives whose belief systems have little to do with reality and everything to do with disruption and division.

 Richard's Disposal can't seem to catch a break at Hawkins Field this week. WLBT reported: 

 A friend and I were at a bar when someone opined that France didn't resist the German invasion in 1940. "It's true, France lost fast," my friend replied. "But they fought hard. They lost 90,000 troops in six weeks. It was a bloodbath. We lost 58,000 over a decade in Vietnam but we're still whining about it."

Every conflict ends with a winner and a loser. There is no shame in losing -- only in not trying. 

Democrats need to learn this lesson. Voters want their elected representatives to fight for them.

A big shake-up took place at the Mississippi Veterans Affairs yesterday.
