If you can't make it to church this morning, enjoy this sermon presented by the late Dr. Frank Pollard. 

As Thanksgiving looms one thing we can all be thankful for is that Mississippi political campaigns are over and done. No more negative ads. No more recorded telephone calls. No more yard signs decorating every open space on major thruways.

Guess what returns to the big screen tomorrow and Wednesday?

Coach O had a few things to say about Alabama after the game today.

Americans were horrified when a Mormon family was recently butchered in Mexico.  Such violence should come as no surprise as Mexico becomes a failed state.  That may be a harsh assessment but when the police and soldiers must don mask for their own safety, the state has failed.   One cartel recently flexed its muscled as it captured a town, beating the Mexican army in open battle, and forcing it to surrender.  Time Magazine (yes, it is still around) reported:

This little event took place at a gas station on High Street last night.  Enjoy.

The Dinsmor Board of Directors notified its members that it "found substantial irregularities" in its accounts managed by Ridgway Lane.

Ridgway Lane is a homeowner's association management company in Flowood. The notice states:

A Meridian woman has literally gone to the dogs... or should we say done down on the dogs?

Hope everyone is ok.

St. Paddy's Day Parade founder and all-around great guy Malcolm White posted this update on the parade last week:

After many months of speeches, political ads, TV & radio commercials and social media propaganda, trying to have a serious discussion of education funding in Mississippi is in great measure a fool’s errand and an errand that is dependent on one’s world view.

 Tate wins decisively, State GOP Crushes Dems, Denny loses, Banks Returns

The polls are closed.  Let the partying and pouting begin.   Will Tater Tot or the Mullet rule? Which one of the two smartest men in the capitol become Leftenent Governor? Will Jennifer pull down the Hoodie? What does it all mean? Stay tuned.

It's the last hour in the Governor's race and you know what that means.  Anything can happen.  A robocall campaign featuring former President Barak Obama hit the phones today.  Y'all Politics posted a copy of the recorded phone call:

David Archie will be a Hinds County Supervisor.  Special Circuit Judge Lamar Pickard denied Darrell McQuirter's challenge of Archie's residency in District 2.  The opinion is posted below.

Looks like some Scholars of White Supremacy were at the Emmit Till marker:

It looks like a Hinds County deputy who lost a K-9 officer to heat stroke last year is getting another chance with a K-9 officer:

When is a mortgage not a mortgage?  Apparently a mortgage is not one even if signed, sealed, and delivered to David L. Archie.  The Hinds County District 2 Supervisor-Elect is embroiled in a steel cage match over in Hinds County Circuit Court against the incumbent, Darrell McQuirter.  The Supervisor claims the Supervisor-Elect lives in District 1 while the Supervisor-Elect claims he lives in District 2.*

Secretary of State Hilbert Hosemann issued the following statement yesterday. 

Seriously.  Check out this British Bedwetter, better known as a "social media influencer" who thinks kids should not learn too much about World War II.  The New York Daily News reported:

How to be wicked without even trying is the theme of today's sermon presented by the late Dr. Frank Pollard.  Enjoy.

And you thought the IHL Board hiring of the new Chancellor at Ole Miss was chaotic?

Sideline? What sideline?  By the way, the score was tied.

Good day for a lazy Saturday.  The Kingfish subbed for Kiiiiiim Wade last week.  Mr. Wade was forced to go to a SJW camp for re-education so yours truly took over.  The corn was shucked and the jive was turkeyed as the Kingfish spilled the beans on everything that went on behind the scenes after he got on the Zoo Board. Rene Shakespeare joined in for the second hour.  Want to hear it all? Here it is.  Pour a drink. Enjoy or suffer, your preference.

Enoch Sanders rolled back the clock and brought forth some of his best oratory not seen in over twenty years in Jackson at the City Council meeting Tuesday.   JJ is not going to spoil it so watch the video posted below. This is one for the books.

Where does David Archie live? That t'is the question as a Judge tries to figure out if the Hinds County District 2 Supervisor-Elect will indeed remain the Supervisor-Elect.  Archie beat incumbent Darrell McQuirter in a runoff election on August 27 by 125 votes.  However,  McQuirter challenged his election, arguing his opponent lives in District 1 and thus is disqualified from running for Supervisor in District 2.

State Auditor Shadrick White issued the following statement.
