Jackson Jambalaya

"Whose toes was he (Grizzell) sucking"?

Jackson City Councilman Kenneth I. Stokes doubled down on WOAD this morning as only he can do.  Mr. Stokes defended saying "I'll cut that bitch out" after a woman talked about his mother, called out Wanda Evers, called Grizzell a sissy, and defended allowing data centers in Jackson This was one for the books.  Enjoy the show and transcript posted below. 

A thousand years ago, English law had a plain rule for dogs. If your dog bit someone, you answered for it.

Eat dirt Al Gore. You helped me almost none at all back then. Maybe I deserved it because I never voted for you. However, I think I knew all along that you were a big Tennessee Talker and not much more than that.

JXN Water Manager Ted Henifin made it clear Jackson's water/sewer system should return to its control.  Mr. Henifin released a transition report that recommends converting JXN Water to a non-profit company that will continue to operate the system. It is a safe bet such a proposal will not be taken too kindly by the wise men of Jackson.   

Rotten food fed to animals.  Mold.  Few employees.  Expired drugs.  Rat infestations.  Such were described in a USDA report on the Jackson Zoo.   The report speaks for itself: 

 JJ fell a little behind on the crime updates as law enforcement sent quite a few press releases over the last few days (From Oxford to Jackson to Hinds County to Rankin County).  They are all combined into one post. 

People have spent decades leaving Jackson. Ward 7 Councilman Kevin Parkinson moved here, bought a house, and named his kids Jackson, Leland, and Magnolia. Nobody can accuse the man of hedging his bets.

Attorney Ben Crump responded to the release of the Jackson County grand jury's findings there was no foul play involved in the death of Nolan Wells: 

 The Jackson County grand jury determined there was no foul play in the death of Nolan Wells.  The grand jury ruled his death was "consistent" with the conditions for drowning.  Jackson County District Attorney McIlrath released the grand jury's report this evening.  

Justice was served upon the owner of infamous Grand Chateau Apartments on West Capitol Street in Jackson.   Jackson Municipal Court Judge Jeffrey Reynolds wasn't playing around as he sentenced owner Ramesh Ramchandran to 630 days in jail if he does not demolish or rehabilitate the apartments within 120 days.

 It's time to wrap up another annual fundraising drive that supports your favorite Jackson website. Your support makes this website possible and it would not have made it this far without you.  However, the need for your support remains as strong as ever. 

 For the record, in a case involving Mississippi’s capital city of Jackson, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled earlier this month that there exists no constitutional right to clean water.

Newspapers have long been the lifeblood of American democracy. They mattered before there was an America. Franklin was a printer. Hamilton, Madison, and Jay made their case for the Constitution in New York newspapers.

 Save The Bean!

Mr. Swell-o-Phonic himself, Chane, managed to stir up the wokesters with what else but popsicles.  Yes, you read that correctly.  Who knew a popsicle could be racist.  

 There are certain modern hypocrisies I notice all the time.

People who complain about capitalism while living in the wealthiest capitalist countries on earth. Progressive activists in America who lament the lack of respect for individual freedom — seemingly unaware of how much of the rest of the world actually lives. People who use a smartphone to post about how much they hate Big Tech.

 Shipping disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, Panama Canal, Black Sea, and Suez Canal may seem irrelevant. But these maritime chokepoints link worldwide transportation arteries essential to Mississippi industries like poultry, farming, manufacturing, and logistics. Disruptions there impact what we pay here for groceries, fuel, feed, and more.

Did U.S. District Judge Henry Wingate coronate himself the Czar of Economic Development for Jackson? 

 Here are the "C" ratings for Jackson metro area restaurants issued since April 1, 2026.  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.
