Jackson Jambalaya

 The Mississippi Supreme Court issued the following statement.

 The city of Jackson issued the following statement. 

 The following post is an excerpt of Anna Wolfe's June 22 story on the Nancy New Scandal. 

In the days and weeks leading up to their arrests in early 2020, Nancy New and her son Zach New sought help from Mississippi’s highest officials to stop what they described as their persecution.

Private text messages obtained by Mississippi Today show the News reacting with a combination of hubris, a sense of betrayal and even confusion over their plight. 

 A Hinds County grand jury indicted Stephen Hopkins for embezzlement on October 6, 2021 for embezzlement from his employer, Health Plus Federal Credit Union.  Hopkins is the Chief Administrative Officer for Hinds County.  The indictment states: 

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

 A 20 year-old man was murdered in a drive-by shooting on Lakewood Drive in Jackson Tuesday. 

Will a small dose of justice be served in the Emmitt Till case.  The AP reported: 

 Hinds County Director of Administration Stephen Hopkins was arrested today.  A Hinds County grand jury indicted him in October for embezzlement. Hopkins got into an auto accident this morning in Ridgeland. The police discovered there was an active  arrest warrant on the gentleman as the capias had not been served. 

 This tweet aged well.  

 I am a fan of first lines in books. But I also like last lines in movies. In the film adaptation of John Steinbeck’s, “Cannery Row,” John Huston— in one of the greatest film narrations this side of Morgan Freeman states that, “The world was once again spinning in greased grooves.” I don’t know if that line is in Steinbeck’s novel because I probably only read the Cliff’s Notes in high school, and hat was well over 40 years ago, but I know exactly what he was talking about. 

 The Mississippi Republican establishment was high-fiving after the Supreme Court ruled for the state in Dobbs.  They had a reason to be proud as they managed to do what many said could not be done.  However, some of the celebration may have been a little premature (Key word being "may") since no one apparently checked the history books. While the U.S. Supreme Court allows states to ban abortions, the Mississippi Supreme Court ruled in 1998 a woman had a right to abortion under the Mississippi Constitution.  Whoa.  Stop the presses!

In some circles in recent weeks, there seems to be some unease about the approach of a new law that authorizes Mississippi Department of Corrections employees to decline the method of execution for Death Row inmates sentenced to be executed for their crimes.

 It's election night.  Will No-Show go back to the hide-out for good? Will the Bernie Sanders Clone beat the Soros-Bennie Thompson plant in District 3? Stay tuned. Fire way in the comments.  WLBT refreshes results every two minutes. 

Update (9:50 PM): The Suit crushes The Pilot, Walking Tall upsets No Show, Flowers Blooms

 The following phrase, and its variants, has become ubiquitous: "Donald Trump's baseless charges of election fraud." Mainstream news outlets have accelerated its use during the congressional hearings on the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

 A bottleneck continues at American refineries while gas prices rise.  The U.S. Energy Information Administration reported last week American refinery capacity fell by 1.1 million barrels per day since 2020 as more refineries closed while the remaining refineries operate at 94% capacity, creating a chokepoint for the American economy.  

 Even Sean of the South, yes, Sean of the South drew the Harpy's wrath. 

 Update: The leak took place on June 16.  

The city of Jackson issued a city-wide boil water notice and warned some areas were suffering a lack of water pressure.   The press release stated: 

Update: George Edward JONES Jr. was just taken into custody  along with the individual that picked him up. The pair were tracked down and arrested by the Rankin County Sheriff’s Office, the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force and Byram Police Department. They will be transported to the Rankin County Jail. 

Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey issued the following statement. 

 Well, well, well.  the abortion fight in Mississippi got even crazier.  Pro-life advocates have been high-fiving Friday.  Press releases praising the Dobbs decision swamped reporters.  Pro-choicers gnashed, rent, and swore.  However, apparently everyone forgot all about a wee, little case from 1998.  The Mississippi Supreme Court ruled in Pro-Choice Mississippi v. Fordice that a right to abortion existed in the Mississippi Constitution. 

 The Mississippi Department of Education issued the following statement. 

 The city of Jackson issued the following statement. 

A certain pair of knuckleheads run into white privilege.  

 Posted below is a catch & release case although it is relatively minor in nature.   Just shows no fish is too small for well, the Fish. 

 Attorney General Lynn Fitch issued the following statement. 

 JJ reported recently the precinct at Eudora Welty Library lacked air conditioning.  While voters came and went, poll workers were forced to work in miserable conditions for 14 hours.  Hinds County GOP Chairman Pete Perry said the poll workers refused to work the precinct if there was no air conditioning again.  

 Bill Maher had a field day with the elites Friday night.  Enjoy. 

 The city of Jackson issued the following statement. 

Didn't make it church today? Enjoy the make-up sermon.   The late Dr. Frank Pollard preached on how usefulness is more important than resumes or pedigrees.  True in 1994, true today.

The 1975 Ayers higher education desegregation case ends June 30.

Well, maybe.

 Bada-bing, bada-boom. Guess what comes back to the big screen tomorrow and Wednesday?

Lately, you may have noticed stickers on gas pumps depicting Biden saying, “I did that!” pointing to the rising price of gasoline on the pumps. The stickers have become a nuisance for station owners  and a mischievous temptation for Biden detractors. 

 The city of Jackson issued the following statement. 

 It's been ten years but Louis Guichet is still on the lam. 

 Wonderful, just wonderful. 

 Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey issued the following statement. 

  The false center cannot hold.

The expected abortion earthquake struck America today as the Supreme Court upheld Mississippi's abortion law and overturned Planned Parenthood v. Casey on a 6-3 vote. Mississippi's law bans abortions after fifteen weeks except for medical exceptions.  Highlights of the opinion are: 

The backbone of every political campaign is money.  How are the candidates doing raising money in the Republican runoffs in Congressional Districts 3 and 4? 

 Nice, Ole Miss, nice.  Damn fine pitching performance and nice sportsmanship early in the game.   Now go take Omaha.

 The Public Service Commission issued the following statement. 

Surprise, surprise, a Karen got mad at KIM Waaaaaaaaaaaaaade a few weeks ago.  

The Mississippi VA Board issued the following statement. 

 Just when you think the Uvalde horror can't get any worse.....

 A Jackson Municipal Court judge denied bond for murder suspect Jayden Taylor.  Taylor is all of 14 years old.   JPD arrested him for a June 18 murder on Thousand Oaks Circle.  The police affidavit states: 

 Everyone's favorite psycho-reporter, Taylor Lorenz, now has a babysitter although it is not known if she was issued a pacifier.  Naturally, Breaking Points had some fun with the Swiss boarding school graduate.

The Jackson City Council might have rushed things too much in the rush to rename Ellis Avenue for blues legend Bobby Rush.  The City Council passed an ordinance changing the name of the street to much applause over a year ago but the cheerleaders were rather quiet yesterday as the City Council found out the renaming will cost $1 million.  

 Amazon lost money in the first quarter of 2022.  Amazon stated in an earnings press release on April 28:

The Madison Timber tree finally fell on Pinnacle Trust after U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves approved a $500,000 settlement between SEC Receiver Alysson Mills and defendants Pinnacle Trust and Stacey Wall in March.  A 2018 lawsuit accused Pinnacle of selling phony Madison Timber investments but the lawsuit was dismissed due to the Receiver's own lawsuit.   Mr. Wall is the former CEO of Pinnacle Trust.  He left the company earlier this year. 

 The Clinton Police Department issued the following statement. 

 Check out the Peach recipes posted below.

Peach season is here. Peaches are my favorite fruit. Period. End of story. Strawberries, bananas, grapes, and blackberries fall into my top five. But there is a large delta between number one and the rest. Peaches, and especially Chilton County Alabama peaches, rule the fruit world at my house.

 Stop the presses: Democrats and Republicans disagree over the future of what used to be called “the third rail” of American politics – the Social Security program. Water is also wet…

 Clinton police are investigating the death of a baby that died this morning at a hotel.      

 The Uvalde massacre becomes more horrifying with each new detail.  The police said they retreated after exchanging gunfire with the shooter because they were outgunned and lacked protection, leaving the shooter free to massacre children.  KVUE's Tony Plohetski gives lie to that story on Twitter: 

 The city of Jackson issued the following statement. 

 The Mississippi Deep State meets in some rather interesting places.  This particular hook-up took place at the airport last week. 

 Bond was denied for Denarius Funches this morning after JPD arrested and charged Funches with capital murder in the death of his mother last week.

The possessor of the body of Audray Johnson wants an insurance company to pay $300,000 for Johnson's death.  However, there is just one small minor issue that is in dispute.  The body of Audray Johnson is very much alive but Johnson's spirit is dead, replaced by the spirit of Dr. General Akecheta Morningstar.  Mo-Jo sued A.I.G. in the U.S. District Court Northern Division in January to force payment of the claim.   U.S. Magistrate Jane Virden issued a report to the Court and recommended dismissal of the case.  The report is posted below.  Warning: Do not read with anything in your mouth. 

 A Northeast Jackson nuisance shut down two weeks ago. 

 JPS Superintendent Dr. Eric Greene issued his monthly newsletter last week.  Read for yourself. The email is chock full of messages such as "Happy Summer Break", "Happy Juneteenth", two videos of the Superintendent blessing us with his thoughts, several camp announcements, and of course, the free food schedule.  Notice anything missing? 

 The Mississippi Highway Patrol issued the following statement. 

 Kenneth Stokes poured out the fire and brimstone on his radio this morning as he took on the dope boys, crime, and even JPS.   The "Defund the Police" movement drew his particular ire as he said over and over Jackson needs to hire 100 police officers.   It was classic Stokes this morning.  Enjoy.  WE GOT TO GO!!!!

The sermon is 34 years old but still applicable today.   The late Dr. Frank Pollard asked "What is a father for" in this 1988 sermon at First Baptist Church (Jackson).  If you can't make it to church, enjoy the remedial sermon.  

 What’s up doc? Well, Bugs, lots lately:

Heat, for sure. One hundred degree temps in June! Oh, my.

 A meltdown took place last week at the Washington ____ as its kiddie psychos had  a public meltdown.  Bill Maher couldn't resist having some fun at their expense and produced one of his better monologues.  The G-man is probably laughing his ass off in whatever heaven took him.  Enjoy.

“Oh the games people play now, every night and every day now, never meaning what they say now, never saying what they mean.” American singer-songwriter Joe South wrote, composed and performed “Games People Play,” released in August 1968. The song won the Grammy for Best Contemporary Song and for Song of the Year. What a song for 1968, and even more for 2022.

Ridgelanders will have to wait another month to see if their government will approve Jim Barksdale's  proposed 30-acre mixed-use development on Highland Colony Parkway.  The project includes plans to build 500 apartment units.  

 This week, the stock market took a turn into bear territory on the heels of yet another brutal monthly inflation report. With the Federal Reserve considering larger rate hikes in order to tamp down record inflation, the possibility of a near-term recession now looms quite large, despite the feeble protestations of Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen. As former Clinton Treasury Secretary Larry Summers -- the man who predicted President Joe Biden's inflation -- stated, "I think when inflation is as high as it is right now, and unemployment is as low as it is right now, it's almost always been followed, within two years, by recession."

 The PERS fiscal year will come to an end in 13 days.  Check out the one-year performance for the S&P 500. 

Beloved by many is the jungle boot. More than a few former soldiers have fond memories of the black & green footgear.  How good was it? The Rose Anvil Youtube channel broke out the tools and completely dissected a pair.  See for yourself. 

An attempted carjacking took place in Little Europe last night.  A victim's family member posted on social media:

 The Justice Department issued the following statement. 

 If you are willing to part with a couple of kiddie gates for a few months, please email the Kingfish at kingfish1935@gmail.com.  Thanks.  

 While we are discussing Jackson's 2020 audit, check out this little interesting tidbit in the auditor's notes. 

 Someone made some rather interesting commentary on our local constabulary. 

 Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey issued the following statement. 

 As a wine-growing paradise, California has always been blessed with loads of sunlight and beneficent weather, allowing it to ripen wine grapes almost anywhere.

 State Auditor Shad White issued the following statement.

 Update:. Alexander had another initial appearance today for a charge of gratification of lust. Bond was set at $150,000. 

Clinton police arrested the  Clinton Christian Academy basketball coach and charged him with sexual battery. The school sent the following email to parents.

As we mourn the loss of a Hero in Blue today, it seemed appropriate to remember this eulogy given a year ago by the father of fallen Trooper John Harris.  A message of joy in an oyster of sadness it is. 

Incompetence strikes again.  The Eudoral Welty Library is closed to the public because it has no air-conditioning.  Well, make that the non-voting public because the June 7 primaries were held in the landmark building.  Although voters could quickly enter and exit, poll workers were forced to suffer the stifling heat.  However, never fear as this is Jackson, Mississippi where incompetence is never abolished but repeated.  WLBT reported last night: 

 Nothing like starting the day with a blast of Kenneth Stokes.  He was on fire last night.  Beats a $10 cup of coffee.  Enjoy.

 Well, well, well. Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba did not take too kindly to JJ's post about police spending last week.  JJ reported the Lumumba Administration spent 20% less on JPD that was appropriated to the department in the final budget.  Hizzoner even went so far as to use the word "disinformation" in describing the post.  Heavens to murgatroyd, what a fine example of reductive analysis.

 Jackson State University issued the following statement. 

 Everyone needs at least one friend who is frank and to the point. Someone who speaks their mind no matter what the consequence. A person who will call you out when you’ve done wrong. The guy or gal that will tell you exactly what is on his or her mind. I am blessed with several of those type friends. None are more “to type” than my friend, David Trigiani.

 A reader's truck was stolen in The Fondren today.  He sent a video and his account of the thievery  to JJ: 

From the U.S. Capitol to rural polling places in Mississippi in midterm congressional primaries, it has been a week of surprises and political drama that revolved around both intense political division and at the same time political apathy.

One of the greatest tv shows ever debuted twenty years ago this month.   If you haven't seen The Wire, pay for a month of HBO Max and binge away. The show is some of the best tv ever produced.  If you want to get lost in a rabbit hole online, just start watching The Wire clips on Youtube. Consider yourself warned.  Posted below are some scenes. Enjoy. 

 The Eudora Welty Library is closed yet again thanks to air conditioning problems while the Lumumba administration continues to have conversations about the conversations.   WLBT reported: 

 The Capitol Police issued the following statement and photos. 

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

 Is communism coming to Mississippi? 

The Mississippi Department of Transportation issued the following statement. 

The Clash over the Trash will take place next month in Hinds County Chancery Court. 

 Senator Roger Wicker issued the following statement. 

A bottleneck is taking place at American oil refineries, thus putting pressure on already soaring prices at the pump.  The U.S. Energy Information Administration stated in a June 10 press release:

More money than ever flowed into Jackson's coffers while it struggled to maintain basic services in 2020.  The 2020 annual audit reveals the Covid pandemic and all of its shutdowns barely scratched Jackson's piggybank 

This post is a paid advertisement. 

Some defendants hide and wait for trial but Toni Johnson is not one of those defendants.  The Hinds County Election Commissioner went after State Auditor Shad White and two special prosecutors as she filed motions to disqualify them from her case last week.

Update: Robert Dewayne Jackson is a suspect in the case.  He is in custody.  The deceased little girl is the daughter of his girlfriend.  A domestic argument arose between the two adults at the gas station.

Yet another child is murdered in Jackson. A five year old girl was killed at the Jasco on Bailey Avenue. More information will be posted when available. 

 Jackson Ward 3 Councilman Kenneth I. Stokes was on fire this morning.  He slammed the Mayor, talked about mental illness caused by smoking embalming fluid, crime, and the third grade reading tests.  Oh yes, he saved some fire for that last subject.  To say he was unhappy 40% of Jackson kids flunked the test is an understatement.  Tune in below.  

Hanging in there or running out on problems is always a tough choice.  The late Dr. Frank Pollard delved into this age-old dilemma in the 1993 sermon posted below.  Enjoy the remedial sermon.  

 Listen to ruling Republicans, their aligned talking heads, and even some media and you would be certain Mississippi suffered a significant undercount in the recent 2020 Census.

 Coonass and his pa going 60 mph through a turn on Toledo Bend Reservoir without hooking the kill switch up to the life vest.  What could possibly go wrong? 

 If' you're looking to get a concealed-carry pistol without breaking your budget, you might want to check out this special at Van's in Brandon. 

 his week, my company, The Daily Wire, premiered a blockbuster new documentary starring Matt Walsh. Titled "What Is A Woman?", the documentary investigates radical gender theory and its peculiar hold on the elites in our society -- and how the insane proposition that men can become women and vice versa has become so well-accepted that even normal Americans now live in fear of questioning it. The film has been the single largest success in the history of The Daily Wire; hundreds of thousands of Americans have subscribed to view it. Yet Rotten Tomatoes, the review aggregator for film and television, has not a single traditional review of the film. 

 The Cowboy held his little crimefest yesterday and the usual suspects dropped in for the cameras. However, there was one little interesting nugget of information that came out of the dog and pony show.  WLBT reported JPD Chief James Davis said: 

 Please help find this man.  He has been missing for several days.  

 The inflation numbers are out this morning and they confirm what was feared.  Inflation is the worst it has been in 40 years as it rose to 8.6%. Unfortunately, President Joe Biden is doing everything but passing out W.I.N. buttons as he continues to bring back the 70's.   Two economists predicted over a year ago on the pages of the Wall Street Journal that we would experience such inflation.  Invesco economist John Greenwood and Johns Hopkins University Professor Steve Hanke opined again on the problem in a letter to the WSJ this week:

 Once upon a time, a certain columnist in Starkpatch was actually funny.....

The New York Times reported more sickening details of what took place during the Robb Elementary massacre.  The NYT's J. David Goodman reported: 

 The Kingfish appeared on the KIM Waaaaaaaaaade Show yesterday to dissect the congressional primaries. Light up a cigar or break out the barf bags, it's your choice.  Enjoy.

State Auditor Shad White issued the following statement. 

 Just another night on Capitol Street in Jackson.  Warning: There are not gunshots nor violence in this video.

 Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens issued the following statement. 

 Just when it seemed this country went bat**** crazy and completely lost its sense of humor, two heroes return from the past to rescue us from ourselves. 

Ag Commish Andy Gipson issued the following statement. 

 A pro-choice lunatic attempted to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.  The Washington ____ reported:

 Over the course of the past 20 years, I have written 11 books. Four were collaborations with my friend and watercolorist, Wyatt Waters. Four were non-fiction works— two were compilations of my writings, one was a nationally published book on the South, and the most recent release was last fall’s comprehensive tome on the Mississippi artist, Walter Anderson, with friend and collaborator on several fronts, Anthony Thaxton. Three were solo cookbooks. The second book I ever wrote was a solo cookbook that took the heritage recipes I grew up eating in the South and updated them and modernized them for the new century.

 After a recent column on the soaring retail cost of gasoline and the concomitant impact those prices have on related fuel taxes and the proliferation of electric vehicles, readers weighed in with their ideas and questions

 Congressman Steven Palazo is going to a runoff and Congressman Michael Guest might be as well.  

 When I began writing about wine in 1979, almost every fine-quality California chardonnay sold for $4.50 a bottle. Occasionally I'd find a bottle at $3.75 and considered it a bargain.

 As murders soared to record levels in 2020, the Lumumba administration substantially "under-spent" the police budget.  The City Council appropriated $36 million to JPD yet JPD only spent $29 million, a difference of 20%. 

State Auditor Shad White issued the following statement. 

 Reader sent this from a local motorcar dealership.  Someone was rather agitated.

 And the race card is played.  

        Liberal politicians call for gun control, and they have a point. Countries with gun control have less gun violence. The old assault weapons ban did some good. You have to pass a test to get licensed to drive a car or, in most states, to operate a boat -- surely the same could be required of those who want to possess firearms. 

 The Madison Police Department issued the following statement. 

 State Auditor Shad White issued the following statement. 

While most Jackson metro area school districts improved their third-grade reading-gate scores, Jackson and Canton fell behind. Coincidentally, they were the last school districts bring their students back to the classroom after the Covid-19 shutdowns.

A new analysis of court filings by The Taxpayers Channel has located additional farmers and other entities who are owed money for grain they delivered to Express Grain but for which they were never paid.

 Kenneth Stokes returned to the radio today after a long haitus.  He waxed philosophically, even eloquently at times, about Jackson, Medgar Evers, and a few other items of interest as only he can.  Enjoy.

 It's Sunday morning and that means it is time for another sermon presented by the late Dr. Frank Pollard of First Baptist Church (Jackson).   Dr. Pollard preached from 2 Chronicles 30: 1-9 on revival. Enjoy.

 Two growing death trends should give us pause – domestic terrorism and deaths of despair.

Here’s a brief snapshot.

 Live (sort of), it's Saturday Night....

Update (10:45 PM): Got the scoop on what took place.  A Madison police press release should be forthcoming.  

 A woman in the Target parking lot reported to police she witnessed a carjacking.  The suspect was in a stolen black Charger.   JPD did not chase the suspects into Madison.  Three individuals  were in the charger.  Madison police picked up the pursuit.  The suspects exited at Nissan Parkway and crashed.  An accomplice picked up the suspects in a stolen black Mercedes SUV and fled back to Jackson.  

Anger and hatred, particularly in the name of politics, are what the enemy wants. He wants to divide us. He’s not for anyone but himself, and those that follow him are fulfilling their own selfish desires through their own self-righteous judgments against everybody else. It’s human nature.

 Disgusting is the word that immediately comes to mind when reading how Uvalde "Police"* threatened to charge a mother who rescued her children for talking to the media.  The Daily Mail reported: 

 Click your heels three times and take the kids to the theatre next week. Yup, The Wizard of Oz will appear on the big screen.  Showtimes are posted below. 

 June marks LGBTQI+ Pride Month -- a month honoring those who are "lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex." This ever-expanding rubric revolves around a particular value system entirely embraced by the modern Left: the notion that a person's core identity ought to lie not in the relationship between individual desires and societal duties, but instead ought to revolve around a subjective sense of self, unverifiable by the world at large and justified against all societal roles and rules. 

Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba issued the following statement. 

 Richard's Disposal failed to pick up the garbage in the Country Club of Jackson, yesterday.  Don't feel too bad, Clubbers.  They didn't pick up my street either.  Called Tuesday morning.  The number always rang three times and disconnected.  A pleasant-sounding lady answered around 11 and said the garbage would be picked up that day.  Of course it never was.  Progress!

 JPD arrested a 19 year-old woman in the murder of 12 year-old Adrian McDougles. 

If at first you get caught making things up, make them up again.  Such is how Carlos the Clown practices law.  Grenada attorney Carlos Moore got caught fabricating again in a wrongful death lawsuit against the Oxford Police Department. 

The Mississippi Development Authority asked a bankruptcy judge to bar the discharge of a $750,000 claim against Express Grain.  The former grain elevator operator failed last year as it hid over losses of over $20 million for several years.   The Express Grain bankruptcy was over $200 million. 

 We could all use a laugh so watch this um maddening (Did I mean to write madness?) video produced by Dr. Arnold Smith 20 years ago. 

 Alexander had prior manslaughter conviction. 

Madison-Rankin District Attorney Bubba Bramlett issued the following statement and mugshots. 

The spirit of Dr. Aketcheta Morningstar left the body of Audray Johnson and returned home so the good "Dr." could sue St. Dominic Hospital for $20 million.  Read the lawsuit posted below.  Just don't have a drink in your mouth while perusing the complaint.  

 Jackson attorney Jeff Reynolds submitted this guest column.  

 On May 24, 2022, nineteen young children and two teachers were killed in Uvalde, Texas, by a deranged teenager who legally purchased an AR-15 assault rifle only days after his eighteenth birthday. While the AR-15 was purchased legally, this same teenager could not legally purchase or consume alcohol or cigarettes. Why? Because, according to the government, an 18-year-old is not yet mature enough to consume alcohol or cigarettes responsibly. But that same government believes 18-year-olds are mature enough to purchase assault rifles – a weapon of war designed to do one thing: kill many people quickly. So, in America, 18-year-olds are mature enough to own a killing machine but not mature enough to drink a beer. 

We got us a new umpire in Jackson's garbage wars.  The Mississippi Supreme Court appointed Senior Circuit Judge Lawrence Roberts of Meridian to hear Jackson City Council v. Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba.  The Council sued the Mayor over his veto of "negative votes."   Now we get to have some fun.  

Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba will discuss how Jackson met the challenges of the pandemic at the What Works 2022 conference.  The city of Jackson announced yesterday:

 A reader complained to MDOT about the lack of interstate lighting.  Check out MDOT's response:

 The Mississippi Department of Public Safety issued the following statement. 

Some men dream of playing the back nine at Pebble Beach. Others dream of bagging that big buck or landing a record snapper. I dream of restaurants.

 On the brutal reality of the Uvalde, Texas, school shooting – and all the others in our country dating back to Columbine and Luke Woodham’s rampage at Pearl High School in Mississippi – the “thoughts and prayers” of do-nothing politicians ring particularly hollow and meaningless.
