State Senate Passes Russian Resolution

 Lieutenant Governor Delbert Hosemann issued the following statement. 

The Mississippi Senate today unanimously passed Senate Concurrent Resolution 563 condemning the invasion of Ukraine and calling for the state to immediately cut all ties with Russia.

“Every morning we see more and more horrors occurring in Ukraine at the hands of Russia’s leadership,” Lt. Governor Delbert Hosemann said. “This resolution sends a clear message to the Ukrainian people who are fighting for their lives: Mississippi supports you, you are in our prayers, and we will not associate with Russia or its murderous dictator.”

The resolution provides it is the policy of the Mississippi Legislature and the state of Mississippi to sever all economic, financial, and other connections with Russia and its businesses. This would include:

  • The sale, purchase, distribution, or storage of alcoholic beverages from Russia at the Department of Revenue;
  • The investment of Public Employees Retirement System assets in businesses or financial institutions owned by Russia or its citizens;
  • The investment in Russian businesses through the Mississippi Development Authority or other publicly financed economic development projects; or
  • The use of Russian vendors for any services or goods for public entities.

If the resolution is approved by the House of Representatives, a copy would be sent to the President of the United States and the Ukrainian Ambassador to the United States.

what a load of virtue signaling horseshit

While the barber is sharpening the scissors it would be interesting to understanding if PERS has any financial exposure to Russia.

Kingfish said...

As heavy as PERS is in stocks, it probably won't be much exposure.

Thank you, Mr. Hosemann, for taking such bold and decisive action instead of wasting the chamber’s time on trivial pursuits like tax reform and teacher pay raises. I expect Putin to start his withdrawal by the end of the week.

Will Delbert be pouring out the case of Stoli in the legislator's "secret" bar in the Capitol?

Ya'll need to give the GOP leadership some slack. They can only do so much, and addressing really important stuff is beyond their capabilities. This stupid resolution and CRT (the non-existent problem that lives rent free in Republican minds) takes priority over more pressing issues. You know, things that actually affect citizens as described by 12:12 PM above.

Response from the Ukrainian people: "Who?"

Delbert is the Man said...

Because of Delbert's brave and trail-blazing leadership, Putin has ordered a cease fire and the immediate withdrawal of his troops.

Anonymous said...

Because of his leadership on the world stage, Delbert has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for 2022. Now if he would just pour out that Stoli in his office bar.

What's up with all these naysayers spouting the CRT bill was a solution looking for a problem? That's no different than saying building a fire station is a solution looking for a problem. There WILL be a fire, and someone(s) WILL attempt to teach CRT in our schools.

The version of Stoli sold in the USA is made in old Soviet bloc countries like Latvia and Poland. And it is produced under license.

Our super majorities are being squandered by neo-Democrats like Delbert Hosemann.

Well not much Russian Vodka makes it to the US, so that’s a waste of time much like giving Jackson a million dollars to study and reduce crime.

There is a very logical reason why this stuff is introduced in the state legislature. These freeloading reps. And senators have to keep introducing this unimportant minutia to prolong the length of time they meet so they can continue to receive their $100.00 plus daily per diem. There is no other logical reason for this stuff.

Thank God this went through. Now, when will some real work get done? You know, the reason we sent them there to do.

Anonymous said...

They have to have reasons to convene and get that per diem. What a useless piece of legislation to make themselves feel good.

Go Mississippi Go! Will Putin give up his Oxford condo, Grove tailgate tent, and Ole Miss season football tickets as retaliation? After all, everyone in the world wants to be in Oxford during the Fall.

There is valid criticism of Mr. Hosemann here, but he has a lovely name for a bureaucrat, aye, in the Canadian sense of the word "hose".

BTW Delbert, a pay increase not based on merit is a rip off, you hoser.

Anonymous said...

@12:53 PM - true, but two things. If I penned one of the top shelf brands no one here would know what it is.

Two, Latvia/Estonia (I have visited both countries) have dropped the Stoli name, as it is identified as Russian vodka everywhere.

Next time use a little critical thinking vs. shooting from the hip.

Doesn't matter because Russia is losing. And because Russia is losing Covid.....oooops Stealth Covid is BACK baby !!! And soon Big Tony will be on CNN ....Dr. Dobbs will un-resign....get your stock in face diapers and vaxxes back up and running sheepsters. Guess viruses pay way better than wars these days.

We should all be willing to tighten our belts and pay more for vodka. Gotta support the team!

People need to study Russian military history.
The Russians were losing to Napoleon and Hitler too.
Go check wikipedia to see how that ended.
Putin is a genius. He wants to end this in time for the Ukrainians to plant wheat.

Kingfish (with his haircut bullshit) wastes no time in attempting to make every thread about PERS. Almost as boring as the three-times-a-day bullshit about loomboola.

Kingfish said...

PERS said it's exposure is all of 0.18%.


I'll try to post something PERS related tomorrow just for you.

I must break Delbert Hosemann!

Goofbert seems to be slipping....he's not a sharp tack anymore.

This is only a deflection of keeping the spot-light away from the
the bloody three way civil war/pissing contest that's been going on within the Mississippi Republican party for the past 24 months.

another example of how the green teeth rednecks in mississippi think they are the epicenter of the world

According to the Madison McDonald's Men's Coffee Club (and one old woman who demands inclusion), Delbert is throwing his hat in the AG ring. Suing foreign dignitaries and penning meaningless accusatory proclamations is required of the office.

Dogbert is jealous of Master-Sgt Gunn's Command and Control of his troops. Had to ensure the vision of Senate troops snapping-to and voting Aye!

"Virtue signaling" is not just for libs any longer.

Meanwhile: Every day, the mid-day Supertalk mouthpiece feels obligated to talk about how Delbert was his company lawyer decades ago and what a competent gent Delbert is (as if that matters forty years later). Virtue signaling, sucking up or politicking. You decide.

A f*cking waste of taxpayer money. But we already knew that about the state legislature.

Maybe the D-Man would also do something similar for StealthCovid. Save us D-man...you're are only hope.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time.
