 It's time for  JJ's annual fund-raising drive.   Thank you very much for your support of Jackson Jambalaya and reading the blog over the years. We've come a long way since we started up in 2007. This blog couldn't have gotten as far as it has without support from the readers. You've donated money, provided tips, and helped when it was needed.

JJ is the leading blog in Mississippi and breaks more than a few news stories. We've exposed public corruption and brought stories to you ignored by the rest of the media.  Your support was invaluable when yours truly had to get arm surgery last September due to a compressed nerve.  Money spent on the Dragon Nuance program was money well-spent as it allowed this website to continue when I couldn't type for six months.

Peach season is here. Peaches are my favorite fruit. Period. End of story. Strawberries, bananas, grapes, and blackberries fall into my top five. But there is a large delta between number one and the rest. Peaches, and especially Chilton County Alabama peaches, rule the fruit world at my house.

As former Clinton Treasury Secretary Larry Summers -- the man who predicted President Joe Biden's inflation -- stated, "I think when inflation is as high as it is right now, and unemployment is as low as it is right now, it's almost always been followed, within two years, by recession."
