RIP and thanks for serving.

What did he do that was so great? Be the “First Black” something, somewhere?
Also, his lies to congress regarding WMDs in Iraq should’ve resulted in a criminal prosecution if the entire post 9/11 treason hadn’t been bipartisan.

Stopping Schwarzkopf's advance was a mistake. Hindsight but a mistake nonetheless.

It appears that the entire time Powell “served” in the military, the military was serving some interests other than the defense of the American People. And according to his wikipedia bio, he spent his entire career as a shameless tool telling lies. From the Mai Lei Massacre to the deceptions about WMDs that lead to the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Fortunately for him, he was always given positive press because of his race. And because he was your stereotypical light skinned, white talking Uncle Tom. He even spoke Yiddish.

Powell was serving someone, but definitely NOT the American people.

I'm sorry he has lost his life to Covid, but I lost all respect for him years ago.

He could have easily been our first Black president. No one was more trusted. A great loss. RIP.

Since I can't say something nice, I'll take my Mama's advice...

A true patriot. Thank you and RIP, General.

They say he was fully vaccinated, but died of COVID-19 complications.

That is sad, indeed.

Any word on cause of death?

I will say it.
He was a lying tool and I hope the spirits of the victims of the Mai Lei Massacre torture him in the afterlife.

Truly great American hero who helped the USA around the world

Wonderful judgement except the whole Iraq weapons thing that lead to tens of thousands of deaths and trillions of wasted dollars.

But thank god he never ran for President

you misspelled Roast in Hell, TRAITOR

Wow. You should see the comments on getting from people accusing him of being a Jewish tool. The idiocy is strong today. He did not die of the covered vaccine. The truth is, the cancer he had met the vaccine would result in little additional antibiotic production.

Yellow Cake - Uranium - Metal Tubes - all lies

Think you meant antibody vs antibiotic.

Damn tough crowd today. I’m certain all the critics accomplished and gave more of their lives than the General.

@2:49
He was a well paid Dept. of Defense employee and later a well paid political operative. He didn’t “give” anything. He did a job and was rewarded for it.

He wasn’t volunteering his time to starving children in his native Jamaica.

Some of you cowards would speak ill of your dead mother.
The General was a great American. What some of you don't like is that he had common sense and used it! You should get some yourselves.

Yes, KF, he had a type of blood cancer as well as Parkinson's, so these underlying conditions prevented some of the protection the vaccine would have allowed.

2:49 has it!

Their's a reason the rest of the country want's to be just like Mississippi!

A true American hero. 🇺🇸

All generals are tools of the politicians. That is our system of government
believe it or not. Anyone who chooses something else will not become a general. If Colin Powell made a mistake it was trusting his untrustworthy
political superiors. We could have done far worse. RIP General.

All the naysayers are just pissed, they'll never amount to anything close to what this man accomplished in his life.

All they'll ever have to talk about is the possible one "touchdown" they scored when SoSo high school beat Hot Coffee 20 years ago.

Just face it, you boys never done squat to amount to anything other than knock up the Homecoming queen and go to work for her daddy in the lumber yard!

He was lied to as we all were on AND

DAMN 4:43 You sound like you actually got past the 3rd grade. How did you know how it works?

For those of you that choose to pay homage to the General I would challenge you to do your research….at least look up the definition of honor. For Gods Sake don’t sell yourselves as cheap and pay honor when honor is deserved.

General Powell served the nation in several important capacities. He was not perfect. But he lived a life of service. God bless him.

Fine Man and a great servant of America. Met him once with a fellow officer who served with him. They went to war college at the same time and met there and then served within close proximity for many years. My friend said General Powell was one of the most ethical and admirable people he ever knew in the service. He said General Powell struggled in War College, but graduated at the very top of his class, because he was probably the hardest worker in that class.

Good man, great warrior. We lost a good soldier today.

A real tool who, like a certain VP, used his Jamaican ethnicity to advance himself on the world diversity stage. He could have been a standout hoot in the Officers' Club had he been more of a drinker.

For those of us who recall how Candidate-Biden referred to Candidate-Obama (when they ran against each other), that's exactly who Powell was.

Anonymous said...

10:14 is a good (strike that) GREAT Democrat. He forgets Powell was a Republican. Until he flipped.

Kingfish said...

I guess you missed the several tours he served in Vietnam, the combat he saw, and Ranger school.

Anonymous said...

RIP but you folks do realize the he wasn't a good guy at all. Total globalist.

Let's Call A Spade A Spade said...

@ 9:39 - There is bad in the best of us and good in the worst of us. What you seem to suggest is that it's OK that he was a National Charlatan since he was a Ranger.

Even the most accomplished of scoundrels can be beneficiaries of affirmative action.

(Yep! Tough group. But honest.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug.
