Just Do It! Gotcha!

Just do it!  It's a slogan that often means take action and take action now.  Don't think.  Don't procrastinate.  The opportunity might disappear.  Just do it!  However, there is a flip side to the Nike slogan.  Doing without thinking, as the late Dr. Frank Pollard points out in the 1995 sermon posted below.  It's a slogan that can cause trouble when one gives in to temptation without thinking, only to pay a horrible price because he just did it.   If you are holidaying at home, enjoy the remedial sermon.

D.L. Gardner: Destroying Democracy in America

It seems like only yesterday that President Biden began destroying America’s leadership in the world. In the Fall of 2021 following the disastrous withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan, Russia began moving troops and military equipment along the Russian-Ukraine border. At a press conference January 19, 2022, President Biden was asked about America’s response if Russia invaded Ukraine. Biden replied, "I think what you're going to see is that Russia will be held accountable if it invades. And it depends on what it does. It's one thing if it's a minor incursion and then we end up having a fight about what to do and not do.” One man’s “minor incursion” is another’s ongoing, hundred billion dollar plus, three-year international war.

I certainly know a fair share of Fourth of July enthusiasts who look forward to their annual weeklong beach trip. I also have friends who look forward to blowing it out on New Year’s Eve, ones who wait all year long for spring break, and others who live for Easter.

One thing the Baptists have over most other faiths is they know how to throw a great covered-dish supper!

Latasha Coleman Case Update: Judge Stops Trial

 Judge bans cameras from courtroom. 

Judge Johnny McDaniels postponed Derrick Coleman's trial to December 7 in Hinds County Court.  Coleman is appealing a conviction for violating a no-contact order against his wife, Latasha. She has been missing since July 18.  A continuance is not unusual, especially in Hinds County. What is unusual is the Court  issued the continuance in the middle of Coleman's November 29 trial when it learned the prosecution and defense intended to present video evidence even though the videos were not provided to opposing counsel.

Are leftovers the best part of Thanksgiving?

I am certain my love for Thanksgiving eats is equal to or surpassing the love by anyone who might be reading this post. My childhood memories are full of happy instances when I would wake up to the smell of cornbread cooking in the kitchen, quickly followed by a breakfast wedge of crusty bread with butter for a great start to our day of celebrating God's blessings. We had Thanksgiving at lunch at our house, so the rest of the day's activities consisted of TV football and trips back to the kitchen for leftovers, observing the same game plan for the next few days. For this year, my thoughts of potential Thanksgiving leftovers is well represented by Cheesy Turkey Poblano Soup.

Start at 13:00 in second video. It gets real good at 21:15.  Dumb then and dumb now.  81 of 82 counties had no problems with split precincts (and Madison County is decorated with them.)  

The regular meeting of the Hinds County Board of Supervisors today was better than the WWF as two Election Commissioners, Jermel Clark (District 3) and Connie Cochran (District 4) went after each other at the podium.

Avoiding rainy day cooking has not been a problem at our house since sometime back in July.

Robert St. John: From a Hot Dog Cart

BARBERINO-TAVARNELLE— This week will mark the final week of my most recent work stint in Italy. I host tours in this country, and a few other European countries, 10-12 weeks out of the year. This seven-week, five-tour journey started in Rome before meeting my first group in Sicily. After that tour was complete, I flew up to Tuscany where my fourth group— in almost as many weeks— arrives tomorrow. 

There are so many aspects of this country that have made me fall in love with it over the past decade. The history, the food, the landscapes, the culture, the architecture, and the ever-present arts at every turn.

Correction: This post erroneously reported Judge Dickinson said the polls could remain open til 9 if voters were in line at 7. Such was not the case.  The post has been corrected.

D.L. Gardner: Is a Global War Inevitable?

From 1941 - 1945 German forces killed 6-million Jews living in Europe. The Holocaust was Adolf Hitler and his minions’ plan to commit genocide against all Jews on earth. For whatever reason, news media in the West reported little about this atrocity during World War II. After the war scores of sources gathered so much documentation with photographs, film, letters, and eyewitness testimony that all doubt about the reality of the Holocaust was virtually eliminated.

Nevertheless, since the war many have arisen to deny the Holocaust happened. With all the documentation proving the facts, how could anyone still deny 6-million Jews were barbarically killed?

There’s nothing more obnoxious than Americans coming over here expecting everything to be as it is in America, even demanding it, sometimes.

Better Solutions to Drugs and Addiction are Possible if We Change Course

 Christina Dent authored and sponsored this post. She is Founder & President, End It For Good. She can be reached at christina@enditforgood.com.

As I stood by the table talking with George Wood, he said something I immediately wrote down. “You have to build a life worth staying sober for or there’s no sense in staying sober,” he shared. George struggled with drug addiction for many years, finding recovery 16 years ago. Today he’s a pastor who is deeply invested in helping people recover from addiction through community and healing at The Timothy Initiative. He knows that unless people address the reasons why they’re using drugs, it’s very likely they'll keep using them. Drugs are an attempted solution, they’re not the real problem. He wants to help people heal from the wounds that made them reach for the drugs in the first place.

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.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? 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. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both will entitle you to free drinks.Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required, just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '07 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
