Jackson Jambalaya

Who really cares except the special interests propping up the puppets? They’re all the same. I’m just ready for my phone to quit ringing!

I heard Lamar Adams is running for the senate seat as a write in candidate.

If you live in Greenwood, Greenville or McComb and subscribe to the daily newspapers there, you'll have to wait until your mail carrier brings it to you on Wednesday. Wyatt Emmerich's publishing company announced Friday that it is ending home delivery by carrier and going to mail delivery for subscribers in all three towns. Anyone that thinks the post office won't screw this up is deluded...to say nothing of those days when there's an issue with the press and they miss the post office's deadline.

This comes on the heels of an earlier announcement several weeks that saw all three papers stop publishing a Monday edition. Since there's no mail delivery on Sunday, the papers will print a Saturday edition that is supposed to be delivered via mail the same day. That means no more Sunday papers.

And that follows on the heels of a 25% price increase if you buy your paper from a vending machine.

These three papers are in their death throes. If they exist a year from now, it will be online only.

Which one is Americans For Prosperity supporting?

I think that the winners on our side (D) will be Rep. Evans and Rep. Scott (although she may well be in a run-off election).

"These three papers are in their death throes. If they exist a year from now, it will be online only."

You are correct. Truly believe that all the newspapers want to eventually be online only. Their cost of production and delivery will be cut tremendously. This is especially true of the CL. I just assume that they go away completely.

thank YOU KF THAT WAS BUITFUL

I live in the Jacksun area. If I’m fed up with Trump’s lack of honesty and character and want to register my protest, who should I vote for?

Friday's monthly employment report was great news for anyone looking for a job in America – unless you happen to be a Democrat running for Congress.
.....
Most troubling for Democrats is that the biggest job gainers have been groups that have historically suffered from stubbornly high levels of unemployment, including younger workers, black workers and so-called marginally attached workers, ...
.....
And among blacks — whom Trump famously claimed had "nothing to lose" by voting for him in the 2016 election — the jobless rate last month fell to 5.9 percent, a full percentage point drop in just two months. That puts the jobless rate for blacks more than a full point lower than the last trough in April 2000 when it hit 7.0 percent.

9:55 am: The recovery began with President Obama and is now facing the headwind of rising rates and potential inflation as tax cuts without corresponding spending cuts and infrastructure spending bring back inflationary pressures.

9:55 Time to adjust your meds again.....

A year of UNDOING the Obama damage is why the economy is starting to recover.

Except for the Third District, turnout is going to suck on Tuesday. I live in the Second Congressional. Bennie Thompson does not have an opponent and I'm not driving nine miles to the precinct just to vote for Wicker over whoever that nobody is that's running against him. I doubt turnout will crack 25 percent statewide.

Without fail the Obama cultists always want it both ways.

Thank goodness for the lower black unemployment rate. It is really helping to detour the crime and improve the economic conditions here in Jackson and other urban cities! I am certain the administrative assistant in the Mayor’s office in downtown Jackson is having a difficult time scheduling meetings for the mayor with all the interested parties wanting to bring jobs to Jackson! All this talk about the lowering of the unemployment rate for blacks is meaningless as it relates to the struggles of most larger urban cities which comprise large segments of blacks. You can get the unemployment rate down to zero and you will still need to come up with a complex overall strategy (education, transportation, infrastructure, crime, health care, urban job investment, etc.) to really improve the conditions of most of these cities.

Why are you goobers discussing Obama when this thread is clearly about current elections?

Greg Brand has mailed out photos of Wicker holding up the state flag in support of The Confederacy. Drive that nine miles!

When the Trump administration finally implodes from his many lies, it will take a man of great integrity and honor like Barack Obama to bring this nation back together again. It will happen. The very man Trump has sought to destroy will be needed to help bring the nation back together and back to its senses and sense of honor.

Staying on topic, last minute predictions:

Guest and Parker to runoff
Baria and Sherman to runoff
Aycox upsets Evans
