Freedom has spoiled these liberals. We need to drop all of them off in a middle eastern nation or Somalia and tell them let us know when your ready to come home.

Hey 2:21. News flash. The administration is already deporting American citizens to terrorist gulags in foreign countries. Better watch what you say, they may come get you next for saying they ain't already doing it. But I do agree that such Maher BS is part of the false self-esteem malarkey that parents have been pumping their pathological kids full of since Dr. Spock and the rest of his ilk told us that's what they need instead of self-respect, which earned, not granted. Have a nice day!

2:21 wants freedom only for people he agrees with and removal to a terror state. Fascism 101 perfected by Hitler, Stalin, Putin, Mussolini, Kim Jun Whatever. Sounds like a pretext to get rid of that freedom idea, Heck, if its been bad for the people, right? Oh, just the liberals. Got it.

The next generation is embarrassing. They don't know how to do the simplest of tasks, expect to always be rewarded for not earning anything via merit, think they are kings and queens, stare at a glowing rectangle all day, etc. Everyone is fat and wants to cheat code their way through life with absolutely no work ethic or gratitude of the previous generation.

3:51 is spot on! Just take a honest look at the local public schools and most colleges and universities.

Past Generation's Parents since Biblical times: "If you don't stop crying, I'm going to give you something to cry about" (and swiftly did, no bluffing ever).

The "Gentle Parenting" vomited since 1990: "Honey, if you stop crying we'll go get some pizza and ice cream, ok?"

Basically, "parents" USED their children to work out their own demons they still have from the more stoic parenting from their pre 1990 youth. It's been an exercise in pure narcissism...and has produced several generations of such. Add in to the mix social media, and the schools pathologizing kids saying their disabled and can't control themselves because they're "sick".....we'll here we are.

But Mississippi has produced a miracle in education with more students "completing" than ever before! Complete horseshit.

Maher is mad that the ideology he has pushed for decades has reached its obvious destination. Do not clap for these “anti-woke” leftists.

If you want your children to be successful and law abiding, don't let celebrities or strangers influence you. Scholars are a far better source of information.They made a career by studying one subject long enough to write about it and sell the books.
To have successful kids, you need to start by picking a smart spouse with whom you have much in common and who comes from a stable family. Seems a lot of men marry the dumb but beautiful and are strangely surprised their kids aren't smart.( Maher has never married or had children...that he read Spock is surprising if true. I doubt he has since it's not political, it's basic baby information not much different from how to take care of a puppy. It's not much thicker than a kid's book.) Your children will need to be able to read and comprehend what they are reading and have good role models for parents. Teach them how to find the best available sources of information. You can continue to let strangers you don't know who have never married or married multiple times influence you. Or you go along with the " crowd" you "run with" ...you know " group think".
Republicans and Democrats have extremist idiots in their parties. Both national parties have more money that most towns, cities and counties in this country. Me, I'm kind depressed that we are replacing Air Force One with a used plane from Qatar (it must be gilded inside) and will have to millions "overhaul" it. Hope they check for listening devices and cameras...they can be really tiny these days.I'm beginning to think we are the Lead Brain generation.

Democrats will fly to El Salvador for a human trafficking illegal immigrant but won't fly to Moscow to demand the release of Brittney Griner. Or Pyongyang for Otto Warmbier. Or Gaza for Edan Alexander, Itay Chen, Gadi Haggai, Judi Weinstein, and Omar Neutra.

Democrats seem perfectly content to let Americans suffer and die in foreign jails or as hostages to a terroist organization, but they'll jump at the chance to demand the release of non-citizens who entered the country illegally.

He's trying sooo hard to be "fair".

Tragically, freedom is not for everyone. Freedom is only for the chosen few.

3:51, your grandparents said the same thing about your generation and I'm sure somebody said it about them. For all of the issues this young generation has, let's not forget the flower children of the 60's. Those are the very people posting on JJ.

@3:51 - While it’s easy to criticize the next generation with sweeping generalizations, it’s important to approach these concerns with fairness and context. Every generation has faced criticism from the one before it—this is not new. What is new are the tools, challenges, and opportunities young people are navigating.

Yes, technology plays a large role in their lives—but that “glowing rectangle” often supports work, education, creativity, and connection in ways that previous generations could never have imagined. Social media, coding, digital marketing, and remote collaboration are not signs of laziness—they’re signs of adapting to the realities of a modern world.

The idea that young people lack work ethic or gratitude overlooks the many who juggle multiple jobs, side hustles, or student debt while trying to make their way in an economy with rising costs and fewer guarantees than previous generations enjoyed. Many are deeply committed to causes like mental health, climate action, and social justice—areas that require courage, effort, and a long-term view.

No generation is perfect. But to paint an entire group with such a negative brush ignores the resilience, intelligence, and potential that many young people show every day. Instead of condemning them, we should ask: how can we mentor, guide, and learn from them too?

@7:26 - I love it when commenters criticize the intelligence of others with broken English and 2nd grade grammar. I loved your post, thanks for the laugh.

9:42, let's be honest for a second. No one is truly free. Most people want to work, obtain things, take care of family and have fun in life. Being free is a state of mind more than a place you can be.

8:48 Brittney Griner broke the law and deserved to be in jail. You go to another country and break their laws and expect to not suffer the consequences? How imperialist of you.
Democrats funded Gaza while they were holding and beating US citizens as hostages whose only crime was being captured by the animals the Democrats love.

Over 7:00 that was wasted. BM is the master of the obvious.

Sorry Bill. Intelligent people should be able to present strong ideas without using language of immature 13 year olds.

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. 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.
