Slept late and missed church? Don't worry, JJ got ya covered.  Enjoy this 1990 sermon presented by the late Dr. Frank Pollard of First Baptist Church (Jackson).

Which of the 13 candidates for governor of Mississippi are you for?

Need some weekend reading? Check out the FBI's affidavit in the college admission scandal that is posted below.  There are so many juicy nuggets that the media couldn't cover them all.  Pour a drink and enjoy a look into the life of the "elite." 

Lord Protector Jim Hood issued the following statement. 

I'm tied up for several hours but can check comments . Consider this post to be an open thread.

The City of Jackson issued the following video, statement, and request for proposals.

The Mississippi legislature recently adopted a resolution to call for an Article V Convention of States to amend the U.S. Constitution, becoming the 15th state to do so. We have the unfortunate distinction, however, of being the first of the fifteen to include in the resolution a prohibition on term limits.

U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves purged a civil contempt order against Jon Seawright and Brent Alexander.  Judge Reeves found them in civil contempt of court last week after he determined they sued UPS for damages in the Lamar Adams case without his permission.  Mr. Seawright is partner at Baker Donelson while Mr. Alexander is a lobbyist for the firm.

Madison County Chancellor James Walker approved the annexation of Kraut-town.   The order is posted below for your convenience as it was just issued.  The town got everything it asked for except for an area of Panther Creek north of Stout Road.

WLBT covered "Canton Corruption" last night.  The video is posted below.

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

Once a Mecca of the American west coast, Seattle is now descending into a climate of lawlessness and hopelessness.  KOMO asked if Seattle is dying in a recent hour-long show.  Residents of the Jackson area will recognize some of the problems and complaints.  Enjoy.

Canton corruption takes the stage.

Media nutjob Keith Olbermann went too far yesterday when he encouraged his fans to make a Mississippi hunter's life "a living hell" on Twitter.  What drew the ire of Die Ulbernutt is a Clarion-Ledger story about -gasp- hunting.

JPD issued the following statement. 

Perhaps if the Hinds County District Attorney and judges did their jobs, perhaps a poor woman would not have been carjacked in Crystal Springs a few days ago.  The Copiah County Courier reported last week:

The rather nondescript email from activist Marissa Barrow of the “Progressive Change Campaign Committee” arrived in my email inbox on March 18 with the subject line: “Elizabeth Warren parallels RFK’s 1967 tour of Mississippi Delta.”

Bored? Check out Mr. Kenneth Stokes' weekly radio show.  REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEV!!!!!!!

The Justice Department issued the following statement.

The Brandon Police Department issued the following statements.

Robert "Bobby" Gray sued Adara Networks today in Madison County Circuit Court for $1.5 million.  Adara Networks is a California information technology company.  Ironically, Mr. Gray sued Adara a year ago for the same amount of money but dismissed the suit.

Look who is hanging out in the Madison County jail.

Miller Lite apparently didn't take too kindly to this Super Bowl commercial:

The Mississippi Autism Board issued the following press release. 

JPD issued the following press releases.

The Brandon Police Department issued the following statement.

The late Dr. Frank Pollard continued to preach on the Sermon on the Mount.  If the temptation of this beautiful spring weather kept you from going to church, don't feel too guilty as JJ provides this sermon.  Enjoy.

"Transparency is critical to fair government," Gov. Phil Bryant, a longtime champion of transparency and accountability in government, once said.

To Kill a Mockingbird returns to the big screen tomorrow and Wednesday.

When it comes to rivalries, forget the Iron Bowl.  Forget the Celtics-Lakers.  Forget Connors-McEnroe.  Few rivalries came close to the white-hot hatred of Ali-Frazier.  Those were two guys who hated each other so much they literally wanted to kill each other in the ring.  An outstanding HBO documentary about the Thrilla in Manila popped up on Youtube a few years ago. It covers not just the fight but the entire Frazier-Ali rivalry.  One little nugget reported: Ali was going to quit after the fourteenth round but Frazier's trainer beat him to it.

What could possibly go wrong with some of my favorite things?

-Receiver sues Stewart Patridge and friends for commissions in Lamar Adams case
-Bankplus suspected "money-laundering", reported to Feds in 2015.
-Receiver sues Bankplus for Alleged RICO Violations 
-Bankplus says it complied with law.

Lamar Adams played the Ole Miss network like a fiddle as he used an Ole Miss football star to further his timber investment fraud scheme.   Receiver Alysson Mills sued former Ole Miss quarterback Stewart Patridge, his mother  Gee Gee Patridge, Jason Cowgill, Martin Murphree, Mutual of Omaha, and Bankplus  in U.S. District Court yesterday in an effort to recover funds for victims of Lamar Adams timber fraud scheme. 

The Justice Department issued the following statement.

“Is Mississippi the most corrupt state in the country?”

Life is always about timing and the Lamar Adams case is no exception.  One poor victim bought $100,000 of phony timber investments from William McHenry and Lamar Adams literally hours before the SEC froze all of Adams' assets.

The city of Jackson issued the following statement and map.

Kenneth Stokes and his sidekick, the Reverend P.J. Williams, were in rare form last Sunday morning on their weekly radio show.

"They want to take us back to slavery" and other gems were uttered by Jackson community activist Enoch Sanders last night at the meeting of the Jackson City Council.  His public comments were definitely for the books.  Watch for yourself.

UMMC issued the following statement.

The social media hysteria, threats of political retribution, and withering criticism of Mississippi senior U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker’s vote in favor of a resolution of disapproval for President Donald Trump’s Feb. 15 national emergency declaration aside, Wicker’s vote was the right one.

Lieutenant Governor Tate Reevef iffued the following ftatement.
