 David L. Archie manages to get himself in trouble almost every where he goes, including - get this - St. Andrew's basketball games.   

It seems a JPD officer had a little problem today.

As we look to the future of Mississippi, there is a huge challenge ahead that must be prioritized and tackled – sooner rather than later. The State of Mississippi’s commitment to our State employees and retirees in the PERS system is unquestionable; it is a covenant the State has made with its employees, and this is an issue that cannot be ignored or kicked down the road any longer. Tens of thousands of State employees ranging from teachers in the classroom to law enforcement patrolling the streets have devoted decades of their lives in public service – for lower wages – and they have rightfully relied and counted on the long-term PERS retirement benefits for their later years in life.

 Golden Corral and Madison Penn's" Nasty!

 Here are the "C" ratings for Jackson metro area restaurants issued since October 4, 2025.  The Mississippi Department of Health inspects and grades each restaurant.  The department inspects the restaurant again within ten days after the "C" is issued.  More information can be obtained at the MSDH restaurant inspection web page.

 It wasn't that long ago that Madison was little more than a hamlet.  

 Well, well, well. That little sideline scrum at the Brookhaven Academy - Lamar School game is going to cost.  MAIS issued the following statement.

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

 There are moments in life when you don’t realize you’re stepping into something bigger than yourself. Back in 2009, the folks running the Edwards Street Fellowship Center food pantry called to say they were out of food. Not low. Out. Anyone who’s spent time in a kitchen knows the clock starts ticking the second you hear a sentence like that. Their clients were depending on them that week.

Former Ole Miss Head Football Coach Lane Kiffin claimed Ole Miss fans tried to run him off the road as he and his son went to the airport Sunday to depart for his new job at LSU.  However, as Paul Harvey would say, there is a Rest of the story.  

As the U.S. became increasingly mired in the Vietnam War, President Richard Nixon had relied on the solid support of cold warriors in Congress to support his authority to both wage and escalate that war through presidential authority.

 The silly season is over.  Check out the winners and losers.  Next up: 2027. 

 The NCAA posted the brackets for the College Football Playoff.  Read and weep. 

 Jackson Mayor John Horhn issued the following statement. 

 Former Ole Miss Head Football Coach Lane Kiffin said he had to call police as he left Oxford because people were trying to run him off the road. 

Local well systems haven't used fluoride for several years.  

The fluoridation of water may eventually be a thing of the past in Ridgeland. 

 Our favorite buffoon is at it again, demanding what else but reparations for Jackson's water problems. 

There are several elections today in the Jackson Metro area.  If you live in Senate District #26 (John Horhn's old district), get out and vote for either Kameisha Mumford or Letitia Johnson today.  If you live in Hinds County, get out and vote for a new Coroner.  Your choices are Jeremia Howard and Stephanie Meachum. If you live in District 3 in Rankin County, you have an election for Justice Court Judge.  Your choices are Tammara Bowie and Adam Woods. If you live in District 2 in Rankin County, vote for either Derel Palmer or Phil Schoggen for Supervisor.  

 Ole Miss folks could probably use some good therapy right now. 

 Someone got stupid over at Green Ghost Tacos in the Fondren.  WAPT reported: 

 Lane Kiffin is addressing the media right now.  It is his first press conference since the heaux high-tailed it out of Mississippi.  The presser is live-streamed below. 

 Check out what happened to this guy. 

 State Auditor Shad White issued the following statement. 

 The best boots in America are on sale right now.  Yup, White's Boots is holding its annual holiday boot sale.  Need a new pair of work boots or safety boots? Do you fight fires? Are you a lineman? Ditch the Iron Rangers and get a pair of these.  The style is Pacific Northwest. They aren't cheap but you literally get what you pay for with these boots.  

 A candidate for Rankin County Justice Court Judge got herself in a wee bit of trouble with the law in August this year.  

 What else did you think it was going to be? 

 The local gentry was not too happy up in Lafayette County today. 

 JJ first published this post on August 30, 2013.  JJ reported Friday Mr. Johnson engineered a nice "partnership" between the NAACP and a law firm to pursue environmental racism claims.  The firm in turn donated over $150,000 to his wife's State Senate campaign. 

The Secretary of State cracked down on a Derrick Johnson charity.  It seems our head of the Mississippi NAACP is paid $120,000 a year to operate One Voice, a non-profit with the same address as the state NAACP.   Although One Voice is considered to be a charity or non-profit, in reality it is a slush fund as most of the money is spent on consultants, travel, and salaries.  Employees could sign checks made payable to themselves.  Debit cards were issued to officers.  $1.78 million a year makes for a nice little slush fund. 

 Kelsey Farese posted a rather humorous take on it all this morning.  

 Kiffin Tweets!

It's getting nasty up in Oxford. 

 "Those people are on a dark spiral downward. But if you think that leaves you on the high ground where you can point your finger at others, think again. Every time you criticize someone, you condemn yourself. It takes one to know one. Judgmental criticism of others is a well-known way of escaping detection in your own crimes and misdemeanors," said the late Dr. Frank Pollard as he read from Romans 2 in the Message Bible by Eugene Patterson.   Enjoy Dr. Pollard's 1997 sermon posted below as he preaches on the perils of judgment.  

“Starting the day I take the oath of office I will rapidly drive prices down and we will make America affordable again,” candidate Donald Trump said at an August 14, 2024, rally in North Carolina.

Things are still up in the air up in Oxford.  Ross Dellenger tweeted:

A Goon Squad victim sued Rankin County and the former deputies who tortured him during a traffic stop in 2022. 

Holidays have a way of making us think about things in different ways. Thanksgiving makes us thankful for even the most mundane things we normally take for granted. Giving thanks is on our minds.

 Lane Kiffin didn't take too kindly to an Ole Miss Spirit reporter calling him a "ho" earlier this week.  

A California law firm funneled over $150,000 to Letitia Johnson's campaign for the Mississippi State Senate - the same law firm that hired Ms. Johnson a few months before her husband, NAACP President Derrick Johnson, awarded a partnership to the firm last year.

I only recently learned what a “groyper” is - you may or may not be familiar with the term?

 Will he or won't he? T'is the question.   Baton Rouge sports talk show host Matt Moscona said last night there might be some waffling going on up in Oxford.

For Thanksgiving night, we will try something different.  One of the greatest collections of talent ever assembled appeared in St. Louis in 1961.  Johnny, Frank, Dean, and Sammy; all on stage at the same time.  Enjoy. 

 It's that time of year and you know what that means.
