The 2024 election saw a historic shift of power in which Republicans will soon control the White House, the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives.
That outcome will change the federal bureaucracy, the federal courts, and hundreds of patronage jobs in Mississippi. There will be new federal agency heads, new U.S. attorneys and new U.S. marshals. But without question, the most impactful development on Nov. 5 for Mississippi was winning GOP control of the Senate that will position Mississippi senior U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker as chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee. Mississippi’s military infrastructure means jobs for the people of the state. In Pascagoula, the sprawling shipyard called Ingalls Shipbuilding, now a division of Huntington Ingalls Industries, employs some 11,000 workers. Wicker will step into the role last held by a Mississippian when the late Sen. John C. Stennis, the Democrat from DeKalb, chaired Armed Services from 1969 to 1980 and earned the title “the father of the modern Navy.” One of the nation’s nuclear-powered aircraft carriers bears his name in testament to his influence on the nation’s defense – the USS John C. Stennis, CVN-74. At the height of Stennis’s power on Capitol Hill, military installations like Naval Air Station Meridian, Columbus Air Force Base, Biloxi’s Keesler Air Force Base and the Naval Construction Battalion Center (Seabees), and Camp Shelby, the massive National Guard training facility near Hattiesburg employed some 27,800 people when the senator retired in 1988. Stennis also used his Senate Armed Services Committee influence to steer what was in 1961 the second-largest construction project in the nation. The Mississippi Testing Facility, later renamed the Stennis Space Center, evaluated the Saturn V rockets’ first and second-stage components that later took U.S. astronauts to the moon. The 1961 MTF project in Hancock County brought 9,000 new jobs and an annual income of $65 million to the area. Today, the Stennis Space Center employs some 5,000 employees and has an annual economic impact of over $1 billion. Few developments illustrate the influence Stennis wielded from that position than the acquisition and development of the tiny Indian Ocean island of Diego Garcia, the largest island of the Chagos Archipelago in the British Indian Ocean Territory. Diego Garcia is a coral atoll that covers some 17 square miles. Late in 1966, the U.S. leased the island for 50 years (later extended through 2036) from Britain in a deal that gave the UK a $14 million discount on Polaris missiles. After the U.S. obtained the remote outpost, the Seabees went in 1971 to build a joint U.S.-British military outpost from which the U.S. would years later launch military airstrikes on Afghanistan and Iraq. In 1974, the Defense Department asked Congress for $29 million to expand the $20.5 million Diego Garcia communications and airfield assets the Seabees finished in 1973. Stennis wrote to Defense Secretary James Schlesinger on Jan. 29, 1974, to lodge his inquiry: “I should like to be promptly advised exactly what your present plans are for this installation, and your projected planned activity in the Indian Ocean area for the next 5-to-10-year period.” Schlesinger supplied Stennis with a detailed report outlining the strategic importance of the tiny island military base. However, the Senate Armed Service Committee trimmed the supplemental appropriation to $18 million during negotiations with the House. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger sent a memo to then-President Gerald Ford advising him to make a personal entreaty to Stennis before the Defense Authorization negotiations were finished. Ford wrote Stennis a note making the ask personal: “I know that you recognize the importance of this proposal and am confident that I can count on your support to resist any efforts to reduce the funding to carry it out or to restrict otherwise my latitude to do so.” Diego Garcia was expanded as Ford requested. From his Armed Services chairmanship, Stennis was a confidant of several U.S. presidents to Mississippi’s enduring benefit. Wicker will likewise be able to help his home state and have an important seat at the highest table in matters of national defense and foreign policy. Sid Salter is a syndicated columnist.

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.

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.

"Patronage jobs."
Tell us more.
As a conservative, I trust Roger Wicker to do one of two things: to do either nothing, or to screw things up.
Wicker is an empty basket.
I am ecstatic that Bammer is no longer the Arrogant Empire in football, but equally elated that Shelby is not going to be diverting jobs and defense money to AL either. If you hate Wicker, you do not understand why we have the Senate. It's ALWAYS been the cooling pot for the hotheads of the House as well as a system of a Sweetheart and a SOB as far as the two Senators. Thanks be to God. Go Roger, go!
I was hoping that our military would no longer be used as Zionist mercenaries. Unfortunately, Trump has announced that he is appointing a Zionist as Secretary of Defense. They are tauting his military creds. The dude was a POG, a military bureaucrat. Lil Donnie is repeating his same mistakes.
Wicker is a good person, and we're lucky to have him serving the state.
Wicker is a warmonger. Period.
Wicker voted to send $61 billion to Ukraine along with Hyde-Smith. Our senators are worthless.
The scorched-earth, Charlie Ross-style, dirt-roads-only, mouth breathers in this thread are laughable. Having Rog as chairman of armed services portends heaps of uncle sugar largess for this little shithole backwater, and almost none of it destined for democrat-occupied territories. The coast, golden triangle, south memphrica, MADCO, Rankin will all benefit from Rog's influence, status and tenure. Good on Rog!
I don't give a durn about ancient history of Ukraine funding. Water under the bridge. I trust the new Admin to keep us OUT of wars, but to make defense stronger. The SASC has WARREN, Blumenthal, Reed, Hirono, Duckworth, and other blue flamer liberals on it. Total Leftists in favor of China loving Woke insanity. That's what Wicker deals with, and it will continue. Will he compromise? Yeah. He has to. He can't just be a House LiberaLtarian bomb thrower and throw a hissy fit and fall on the floor kicking and screaming like a McDaniel or toddler.
Look at those Dems. With the exception of Manchin, all were Northeastern, Northern, or radical Leftists. Hence the Woke DOD under DEI hire Austin and his woke 4 stars.
Clean House in DOD and let DOD be reborn in strength without endless war. Our rivals and potential foes do not respect us under Dem control. At all.
Perhaps you would prefer Bennie Thompson
Which war did he start?
I hope it ends woke culture in the military
Wicker is a cheerleader for the "military industrial complex."
Wicker, how are your Littoral Combat Ships working out?
McConnell Jr.
Speaking of senators, isn’t Cindy up for reelection next year? Will she have a primary challenger?
9:41 Lighten up Francis.
I wrote Wicker complaining about a Super Pork bill he supported. Wicker responded and conceded to the pork but added that all is good because Mississippi got $3 billion of the pork.
Hey Rog, next time you support a Super Pork bill, how about throwing in an amendment to sent me $100 Million? It's just a drop in the bucket. Hand a fellow Mississippian an extra $100 million.
Re-electing Roger raised the average age of the US Senate while lowering the average IQ.
Kingfish, you really need to try to attract a more educated following. The ignorance and bias shown here is both sad and comical! They hate Sid, they call Roger a RINO, they think Trump can singularly stop war... We are very fortunate to have Senator Wicker.
No need to worry about Wicker’s support for Ukraine. President-elect Trump said he would have the Russian invasion stopped within 24 hours (not sure which 24 hours).
Military Industrial Complex You mean all of those high paying jobs that can’t be replaced by foreigners because they can’t get a security clearance?
Wicker is PHONEY. He was one of 13 Republicans senators that voted against Trump closing the border. However he campaigned as a big close the border guy & buddy of Trump's. The only difference between him in Benny Thompson on open borders & big government spending is the reason they want it.
Wicker is a good man. He does lots of things without telling you all about it. Helping many truly needy people. We are fortunate to have a man of his character in this position
Wicker was appointed Senator by Governor Barbor to replace Trent Lott's resignation. The sheeple have re-elected him ever since. Cindy Hyde-Smith was appointed Senator by Governor Bryant to replace Thad Cochran's resignation. The sheeple have re-elected her ever since. Michael Guest will be appointed Senator to replace Wicker and the sheeple will re-elect under the illusion of it being their decision while being played. Wake up and primary all of these out. Guest was almost out until the GOP came to the rescue with $$$ to bail him out of the run-off with Cassidy. These politicians don't represent us, don't you get it?
Don't know about his personnel life but I was trying to be nice calling him a phoney. You and a whole lot of supposable conservative voters need to start watching his voting record and not believing his political ads because they do not align. In short he is a liar. Please EDUCATE yourself & quit blinding voting for him. He needs to replaced then he could be useful to society by volunteering in soup kitchens because he votes against the future solvency of our country.
Cindy Hyde-Smith has a very good relationship with Trump, which benefits our state. I don’t know anything about Wicker’s relationship with the him, so can’t speak to it.
