Don't be a chump...vote for Trump!

Have we found who kilt da mayhuhhh?

Five gold stars for the Open Thread!

Rhode Island is neither a road nor an island. Discuss amongst yourselves.

I quit listening to Bill Clinton when he came on tv, pointed his finger at the camera and lied to the world. Never could stand someone like Hillary from the beginning. Don't understand how anyone could vote for such a crook. This country must have a lot of people with no morals.

Interesting to see how the Freddie Gray situation turned out. I figured that they'd hang at least one of the police officers out to dry on that one. Prosecutor seems like a real idiot.

Also can't believe they're letting John Hinckley out of the psycho hospital.

Hillary visits a gifted-student primary school in New York City to talk about world affairs.

Afterward she goes to a question and answer session.

One little boy raises his hand and Hillary points to him and says, “Yes, what’s your name?”

“Kenneth,” says the kid.

“And what is your question, Kenneth?” she asks.

“I have three,” says Kenneth.

“First…What really happened in Benghazi?”

“Second…If you can’t handle two email accounts why do you think you should be President?”

“And third...What happened to the six billion dollars that went missing while you were Secretary of State?”

Just then the bell rings for recess.

Hillary informs the kiddies that they will resume right after recess.

When they resume Hillary says, “OK...Where were we...Oh yes…Question time…Who has a question?”

A different boy, Little Johnny, puts his hand up.

“Yes, what is it,” asks Hillary.

“I have five questions,” he says.

"One…What really happened in Benghazi?”

“Two…If you can’t handle two email accounts why do you think you should be President?"

“Three…What happened to the six billion dollars that went missing while you were Secretary of State?”

“Four…Why did the recess bell ring 20 minutes early?”

“And five…Where’s Kenneth?"

The prosecutors, and especially the D.A., are idiots. She went ahead and charged them before going to a grand jury and then grandstanded at concerts about it.

This is why you have courts and mob justice is often wrong.

Right now, some of the prosecutors are looking at some real bar discipline.

Juanita Broaddrick RAPED TWICE by Bill Clinton during infamous 1978 encounter:

Now Broaddrick has for the first time publically confirmed her account that Clinton raped her twice.

She said that after the first round, in which the much stronger Clinton had her pinned down for a period of time, she was relieved when she thought it was over and was hoping he would leave the room.

Instead, she says Clinton turned to her and told her words to the effect of “I am going to do it again.”

And then he did, she says.

Black Lives Matter will be stirring up trouble in Canton and Tupelo this weekend. And a van with Texas plates has been riding around in Gluckstadt screaming 'remember Baton Rouge, your next'. Could be an interesting weekend for Mississippi.

Los Angeles Times/USC Poll Trump +7

It is poetic justice that the little prosecutor girl up there in Baltimore ain't feelin' too cheeky today. You go, girl!

The Clintons are both white trash and criminals. It killed me when she said the other day on "60 Minutes" that there was a different standard for her. That's about the only thing she's ever said that I agree with.

10:27, "your next" what or did you mean "you're next"?

You forgot to mention the lack of repair on the Jackson Pot-Hole problems....! Sure doesn't seem to be much happening. A few here and there, scattered, not completed in ANY area...! Why aren't more people concerned? Have the citizens of Jackson just given up on the repair work? Why is no-one holding the Mayah responsible?

the fact that there is silence from the Clarion Ledger over the MDE report on jackson Public schools is unbelievable. That is absolutely horrible that we are allowing that to happen. Vulgar.

Slick Willie was probably about ready to launch into some of his other "booty call" stories......I was choking back projectile vomit having to listen to his hour of lies

Over in the Is Jackson Becoming Cleveland thread, the question has been posed as to what conventions Jackson has scored in the seven years since the much needed Convention Center opened.

As this is an open thread, I'll pose the same question here:

Has Jackson scored a major regional or national convention yet? If so, what was it, and does one big win in seven years equal success?

Looks like it is a glorified hotel meeting room for state agencies and real estate seminars to use.

10:27 That sounds like a fallacy, but ok.

It doesn't matter, the Convention Center is every bit the colossal disaster it was predicted to be (and more) and the dirty secret is that general obligation bonds were used to build it not the revenue bonds that voters were duped to believe would be used.

"On close inspection, talent clustering provides little in the way of trickle-down benefits. Its benefits flow disproportionately to more highly-skilled knowledge, professional and creative workers whose higher wages and salaries are more than sufficient to cover more expensive housing in these locations. While less-skilled service and blue-collar workers also earn more money in knowledge-based metros, those gains disappear once their higher housing costs are taken into account."

If the answer is Hillary Clinton,...
then it must have been a very stupid question.

@11:01 - comment of 10:27 is correct. Several people in my neighborhood witnessed this and reported it to the Sheriff. And BLM has scheduled a "protest" for Saturday afternoon in Canton. Hope the bad weather keeps them out!

I'm no Democrat and I do not like Sanders at all, but the chicanery the DNC and Debbie and Hillary pulled on them is despicable. It takes an amazing amount of nerve to eff these people over and rig the primary against their candidate, then turn around and request, nay demand, their vote for his opponent. And to watch a smug POS like Sarah Silverman call them "ridiculous" makes me angry, and I'm on the entire other side of the ideological fence.

Chris McDaniel was a nut and I'm glad he's not our senator, but when Barbour and Lott and the GOP establishment recruited a bunch of Democrats to vote Cochran because McDaniel will reinstate slavery or whatever scare tactic was another side of this coin. For years these guys lived off the support and votes of the rank and file Mississippi GOP voter, but when they chose a different man, they were stabbed in the back and disenfranchised by the same people they supported for years.

I'm no Trump fan (I'm really a man without a country this election), but he won that nomination in spite of the establishment's attempts to thwart him. If the DNC hadn't juiced the primaries, Sanders may well be the nominee. I understand the frustration of those dirty hippie lefty morons. And their outrage is anything but ridiculous, Sarah.

Thanks for everything Kingfish. The school situation is not only being ignored by the media but, others as well. Where is the Mayor, City Council, other state officials(MDE) the Governor and most importantly the PARENTS. Inasmuch as this has been ongoing for several years one would think the community would be outraged.

I miss seeing boobs on Game of Thrones, not sure what I will do except anticipate West World for a few more weeks. HBO is kinda shitty once you get past the original programming. I have seen Matt Damon's dumb ass trying to escape mars a dozen times in the past 30 days.

Neither Politician running for the POTUS is likable, but I think Hillary is much more a liar and murderer than Donald is a self serving asshole. Maybe they both will spontaneously combust and we can start over.

I think that we live in a police state already. I am scared to go anywhere and get pulled over or pass through a road block sober for fear that I will be wrongfully charged with something to pad a municipalities pocket. I am also scared I might offend my kids and they might say something that would make the DHS take them away. I still don't know what is and isn't really legal when it comes to gun ownership, but I do know that if you break into my house, I am going to empty all three clips and then call the cops.

PC needs to be out, go piss in the bathroom you were assigned to at birth, if you are a hermaphrodite, you can literally go fuck yourself and not get pregnant. Your home and cubical or desk at work should be the only safe spaces allowed besides the hot yoga parlor you are paying for by the session. All lives matter, the politics of division make me sick and no one has the balls to stand up to it. Black lives matter reminds of the Walmart episode of south-park, it has become it's own sentient entity.

The only things that separated Madison, Rankin, and Jackson are artificially drawn lines and cops/judges/schools. Rankin is trashy, Madison is living on daddy's money and credit, and Jackson has gone ghetto. I hate all three and can't wait to retire elsewhere. Lets face it, there really is nothing to do in the tricounty area, we have no downtown to speak of, no professional sports, very few concerts or decent venues, no art galleries, and very few restaurants. I am sorry, but Fondren sucks and is a joke. I wish they would bring back the Recovery Room, at least you could get paid out on the cherry master video slot machine and have stimulating conversation with the florid drunks when not past out at the bar.

I haven't seen a good mainstream movie come out of Hollywood in some time. It is sad when Napoleon Dynamite is the last real movie about people that you can remember in a decade.

Thank you KF for doing what no other news source has the gonads to do in this area.

On the other hand, season 4 of Vikings is now on Amazon Prime. It's a pretty damn good show.

I'm voting for Gary Johnson. Republicans lost me in the Thad debacle. Thanks Haley.

Those of you who vote for Trump are voting for Putin's pawn. Trump will do anything for praise, like abandoning NATO. He is a dangerously stupid moron and anyone who votes for him clearly has sub-par intelligence or so much anger about their crummy life that they are just clinging to anyone who promises to rescue them and allow them to blame immigrants, muslims, democrats, etc.

Yep KF Vikings was a good show. How about Hell on Wheels? Another good one but sadly it's toast.

Polling :States currently rated "Toss Ups" by Real Clear Politics - AZ,IA,OH,PA,NC,FL,NH,GA,NV,OR,WI,MICH,VA. States that are in play - CO,NM,MAINE,CT,MN,NJ

When states like Connecticut, Oregon, Maine, & New Jersey are in play, it means they are "not with her".

1:48pm....you really don't have a clue as to what is happening, do you?

sorry, but lately Muslims have asked for a lot of blame. Until there is an outcry from moderate non Jihad death to the infidel Islamists, I will blame them all as being guilty by association.

See that the DA in Baltimore is blaming the investigators for all the acquittals and now going after them!

Gary Johnson is going to get 25% in MS. Polls soon to be released to show this,

Since no one mentioned the JATRAN mess, the absurd idea to build a new Campus (8 million or so) on Highway 80 when your buses are falling apart due to neglect is criminal. The new facility is nice but just think how many buses could have been purchased with even a portion of that money, in fact they could probably purchased a car and paid the tag and upkeep for all the riders individually. Just simply another example of waste in Jackson.

Hey 2:45...you are spot on. I was surprised to read that the city council was addressed by the "deputy director" of the transportation depart on the JATRAN matter-I guess the director was to busy to address the council-that is part of Jackson's problem...way to may chiefs ( who cant come in out of the rain) and not enough Indians-IMO

PS- I bet Jackson could pay UBER to shuttle around the few bus riders that use the buses and close JATRAN and save millions....where is Harvey when you a good study!!

What is the status of BB King's on Farish Street? Is it officially dead?

The democrats have always reminded me of a liberal college town group.

Recently indicted Teresa Malone was a consultant. What a dirty occupation this has turned out to be.Riddle you this...Which consultants are involved a paper products contract with MDOC that was negotiated directly with Chris Epps? Will they face indictment for squeezing the Charmin too many times? Mr.Whipple thinks so.

^^"
"1:48pm....you really don't have a clue as to what is happening, do you?" - clearly you don't. Typical right wing nut job.

I seldom get caught up in political battles on the internet, simply because fighting never changes the other persons outlook....
But let me make this perfectly clear, IF you are not voting FOR Trump...you WILL be voting FOR Hillary.
People are attacking Trump with such statements as Trump will make Putin stronger...
But they fail to mention HILLARY GETS PEOPLE KILLED.
So once again, If you vote anyone else but TRUMP...YOU WILL be voting FOR Hillary, and voting for Hillary just shows how inept you are.

3:45pm....I never made one mention of any political affiliation. I don't like Trump. I hate Hillary and all career politicians. Your typical, insulting answer speaks volumes about you though. You are obviously a self righteous liberal. Call me whatever you want, but it doesn't change a thing. Like I said, you really have no clue as to what is happening. Just keep on calling us childish names and idiotic and nut jobs. It matters not one bit and stops nothing.

Trump is a direct result of millions like me being under the socialist thumb of liberals for the last 8 years, constantly telling us how horrible and mean we are and that we owe this and that to this group and that group. It is you who divides us into little groups, not Trump. You should be praying that Trump wins. If we keep on the current path, history shows over and over that the regime change will come, and it will be ugly. I am not a nut job. I just hate repeating the same mistakes over and over which is par for the course for liberals.

Things are ripe for change in the U.S. People are tired of being treated like second class citizens. We are tired of being lied to and being told we are dumb.
Change will come no matter who is elected president. One way is much easier than the other. The people will get to make the choice.

To further 3:46's comment:

Is Dan Mullens selling his house?

No. why?

It is sad to see the day that the Republican Party is being taken over by the Communists.

I don't know about you, but I am going to pay for several blacks to rent houses as reparations. I feel so guilty. This will help. Glad the liberals thought of this before my guilt got the best of me.

"Open Thread," or "Practice Your Sad, Mayo-Tinged Email Forwards" thread. Very cultural.

The Tom Head and Sheppie Smith Crowd are pulling for Gary Johnson. (Is that better, Kingfish?)

Where is the outrage?
That anyone, much less a candidate for President, would publicly ask any foreign government , much less the Russians to hack the State Department ( which would be necessary) or even the personal emails of any American citizen borders on treason. It's inviting espionage!
If you want to risk the danger of trusting one person to solve our Nation's problems, you damn well owe it to our military to make sure that person has some self-control and thinks before he opens his mouth!
My God, people, Russian hackers can now release any thing resembling an email and pretend it's from people in our State Department or government to Clinton with a reasonable expectation that the gullible will believe it and that our enemies will use it for propaganda! They can also reasonably expect Trump to collude with their efforts!

12:15, I'll be on the lookout for any "mayo-tinged" emails. How would one go about spotting such an email?

Kenyan refers to himself 119 times during his speech about Hillary Clinton. LOL LOL LOL

6:36am, there is no outrage bc we have complete faith in dear leader Hillary. She said the 33,000 emails that she deleted (after they were subpoenaed) were just about yoga pants and Chelsea's wedding. We trust her, so it is obvious Trump didn't mean it.

Jeez you liberals are dumb. Trump just laid the trap and y'all jumped right in. Obviously, from the vicious reaction of the media and the left, they know those emails are damning beyond repair and flat out treasonous.

Good luck dancing out of this corner.

Liberals and the media had absolutely no problem with the source when wikileaks started and then Snowden. They screamed "it's the content that matters, not the source." They just can't make up their mind.

6:36 = Dumbass. Listen to MSNBC much? He didn't ask Russia to hack anything. He asked Russia to release what's already known to have been hacked.

March right on over the edge of that cliff, lackey.

Re: 6:36

Perhaps we should ban people with no sense of humor from voting.

Trump was alluding to the widely held belief that the Russians (and others) ALREADY HAVE Hillary's emails, due to her deliberate failure to secure the State Department server.

If we all just did more hot yoga in our sweaty skin tight yogapants with our muffin tops rolling over, we would feel so much better about things.......

It is kind of sad (no not really) that esteemed former state representative Bennett Malone of Leake County wife is facing the consequences of graft & corruption that was at least assisted by Bennett himself. It has been well known by most in Leake that he was at best "shady" but most considered him just plain crooked, trouble was he was generous with the goodies. I just hope the state, Feds or someone gives him part of his due in all this mess. Millions upon millions were stolen from the citizens of this state by Epps and his minions.

Does anybody remember Bill Burgin? www.pressregister.com/article_49738952-9f98-5e94-aea3-492f6f17fc79.html

If Ms. was not so crooked the governor would have been able to balance the budget. How do people expect him to do the job when there is so much theft going on with our tax money?
Other states finished the year with a surplus. A person would think when passing through Ms. that we would have plenty of tax money left at the end of the year. We sure do not use much of it on anything people can see.
Are the leaders of Ms. really that crooked or are they really that dumb?

My tater salad is mayo-tinged... does that count?

If Gary Johnson gets 25% of the vote in Mississippi, Hillary wins.

The spread in the last Presidential election was less than 13%.

Mississippi is not as red as you think. That's the echo chamber in Rankin County you hear.

It really amazes me that you can say f$&k, sh*t and a$$ but if you mention a certain demographic group committing crimes you are censored. I'm a blue collar white 51 year old white male, self employed and will lose our health insurance 12/31/16. I can't see that happening to others who don't work. It's a travesty. I put 3 children through private school, sent them to college and still sending 2 to mes school. Budget? I'm self employed. Your equipment breaks down then the budget flies out of the window. Oh yeah I've had financial advisors give me the damn talk about what I SHOULD do.....they are the only ones who benefit. The middle class white male who works in the PRIVATE sector is being screwed. I don't think I'm alone....just tired and by the way....Lin the mornings and afternoons take a look at the demographics of who works in the tri county area and then break it down by gender....black women carry the black race...white men and women are the burden carriers. Beam me up Scotty!!!

9:14.....look at the building the Dept of Revenue is in. If you are a Self employed small biz They hate you...if you are self employed could you afford to pay your employees the benefits that state employees get? No where near it. Public sector employees now outnumber private sector. See where this is heading? Soviet Union had to pay their workers in vodka before the end of communism.....

The DNC is now paying people to fill all of the seats that Bernie voters have abandoned. I guess we should be happy they are actually paying them. Their comrades around the world generally use the point of the bayonet to fill seats and solicit support.

To the person above who siad the republican party has been taken over by communists....you are a fucking moron, end of discussion.

It is always said that liberals have no sense of humor. This is just more evidence of that. Trump was tongue in cheek stating that maybe Russia can find the emails (evidence) that Hillary destroyed after subpoena. He didn't call for them to hack the state department. He just wants to see what they already have, bc we all know that whatever Hillary was hiding on her illegal server is known to them. Of course, this begs the question....isn't Hillary incredibly vulnerable to blackmail (by the russians, chinese, bill the IT guy) bc of her massive security breaches. Who knows what favors she will do if elected to keep those 33 freaking thousand emails she hid and ultimately destroyed? She already sold national resources and secrets for donations. Lord only knows how far she will go to keep that evidence quiet. That was actual treason, not made up lefty bullshit and lack of understanding of sarcasm.

Also, as someone pointed out above, how the hell can the media let Hillary's camp make statements that Trump was inviting the release of sensitive information when their was supposedly nothing sensitive in the destroyed emails? That would only be possible if Hillary was lying this whole time. Surely that is not the case?

10:12am, know exactly how you feel. There are millions upon millions of us going through the same thing. Just keep pushing us further and further over the edge and see what happens. I pray that Trump is elected, not because I really want him as president (i don't), but because it will let a little steam out of the pot.

People like us far outnumber the miscreants that we see marching and causing such a raucous. They can chant and act like fools all they want. If they push us far enough to "protest", it is going to be life changing for us all. IF the beast, the Hilldabeast, does win this thing, I truly fear for the future of our country. The pain she will cause to normal people will be too great to sit back and take it anymore.

http://www.infowars.com/new-reparations-website-asks-whites-to-pay-black-peoples-rent-to-relieve-their-guilt/

Holy shit! Can you imagine the outright sense of complete entitlement that it takes to do this? No wonder they are so useless. Thanks democrats. You have created an absolute monster that will destroy this country.

@9:25 Hillary wins in Mississippi or nationwide

10:12am, I'm confused.

You had enough money to pay for private school, college, and now med school, but don't have enough money for your own health insurance? And because of your poor planning and terrible financial management,you're angry at who exactly?

Maybe when your kids get out of med school, they will provide your medical care at a steep discount. Probably not, though. Since you raised them to be like you, they will tell you "too bad you failed to plan and provide for yourself. Perhaps you should ask your church for health insurance assistance. Or pull yourself up by your bootstraps and try working for a living."

This guy who hates Obama will be first in line to use Obamacare.

If Gary Johnson gets 25% of the vote in Mississippi ...

Johnson won't get even 5%.

July 28, 2016 at 10:12 AM--

If you lose health insurance in Mississippi on that date, it's your own fault. BCBS must, under state law, write any group size as long as they're a small business entity.

Call an insurance broker, apply for small business coverage.

I have had it for years, my rates haven't gone up more than 4 or 5% in the last 5 years.

So, 12:37 and 1:26, are you some of those always calling pot/kettle? Because that's just what you're doing. STILL don't realize that Mississippians don't register by party, therefore anyone was free to vote for Thad in the general election. Sounds like you're about to do the same when you cross over to cast your vote in this Presidential election.

STILL don't realize that Mississippians don't register by party, therefore anyone was free to vote for Thad in the general election.

Looks like you don't have a clue what the controversy was actually about.

Johnson will get 25% in Mississippi wait for new polls to come out

2:37 I have more than a clue. I'm well aware of the false accusations. You go ahead and tip on over to the Libertarian ballot and don't worry about it. See you there!

11:27 must be a State worker

5:09 must be pumpin' gas at Valero.

Is BLM coming to march in Canton this weekend?

Kingfish, you sure do have a lot of whining people on your site. Almost every comment I read on here seems to be from people who just can't get happy. And then some seem to be their happiest when something terrible is happening to someone else. Let's all chill out and try to be tolerant.

"Public sector workers now outnumber private sector."

And that guy ^^^ probably votes.

By the way, there was a black SUV half submerged in the Rez, on the Trace at mm 111 Saturday. Fire trucks, ambulances, PoPo, Rangers. Not covered by media. Looked to be attempted suicide. Musta been another unhappy dude and regular poster here.
