"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. 

 The initial battle may be won but the war for control has just begun for Democrats. Voter wrath that toppled Republican control in Congress will turn again in 2028 if Democrats don’t address the causes of that wrath.

 The band is back together. 

 Whitney Liscomb announced her candidacy for Secretary of State Thursday: 

Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith better start finding some votes if she wants to return to Washington.  Challenger Scott Colom extended his lead to 2,574 votes with 96.9% of the vote counted.  

In the election of 1992 James Carville, advisor to Bill Clinton, nailed the primary issue as, “It’s the economy, stupid!” And, that’s the way it was, and is, and will probably continue to be until we socialize the American economy like all the other progressive nations in the world. 

 JPD Chief Rashall Brackney is providing an update on the The Hideaway homicide case.  The press conference is live streamed below. 

 Social media pages were filled with complaints by voters this week who said they were forced to vote by affidavit even though they regularly voted for years.  Such complaints are becoming relevant as there are 17,000 uncounted affidavit ballots in the Mississippi Senate race.  Indeed, Northside Sun publisher Wyatt Emmerich was one of those who almost lost his right to vote.  Mr. Emmerich told JJ: 

 Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith just can't seem to catch up to challenger Scott Colom as his lead grew to 2,010 votes today..  

Update: Police said Collier allegedly paid a security guard $20 to let him and his accomplice in through the back door of The Hideaway and did not frisk them.  

Justice is coming for those involved in The Hideaway's Halloween homicides.  The city asked a Chancery Court to declare the nightclub to be a public nuisance yesterday while JPD arrested Eddie Collier and charged him with two counts of capital murder and seven counts of aggravated assault.

 "If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away."

— Henry David Thoreau, Walden

BARBARINO-TAVARNELLE, TUSCANY—For 25 years I have owned a company named after that line, and until this week I would have bet good money that Robert Frost wrote it. Maybe Walt Whitman. It turns out it was Thoreau, a man better known for living in a cabin by a pond than for writing poetry.

43.  That is Scott Colom's lead over Senator Cindy-Hyde Smith when the sun rose this morning with 95.6% of the vote counted.

 Major law enforcement presence at Magnolia Wholesale Vapor and Wellness in Jackson right now.

 The silly season is almost over but you know what that means: non-stop ads.   Yup, the folks at SEC Shorts just could not help themselves.  Buckle up and watch.  Be sure and read the fine print.

 Jackson Mayor John Horhn issued the following statement. 

 JPD issued the following statement. 

"There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power." Much of what we see today was spelled out in Paul's second letter to Timothy.  The late Dr. Pollard said do not be discouraged, do not lose hope even as you look around and see such things.   Christ, said he, gives us a power to not just live but thrive in such a world.  See what else Dr. Pollard had to say in the 1998 sermon posted below.
