Roger Wicker, this state’s senior member of the U.S. Senate, is suddenly a hero to many Mississippians for his tough stance against an ICE detention center that a federal agency had proposed for the hamlet of Byhalia in the state’s northeast corner.
I agree that Sen. Wicker deserves a round of thanks.
The Republican lashed out against the Trump administration’s proposal to create the facility, and they have pretty much since shelved the idea.
Minds can change, but it seems final for now that the facility will go elsewhere. Godspeed! Watch that swingin’ door behind you.

HATTIESBURG — National recognition has come ever so slowly for Southern Miss baseball. Year after year, season after season, the Golden Eagles win 40 games and make an NCAA Regional, often hosting.
Season after season, they play an arduous non-conference schedule, packed with SEC rivals, and more than hold their own. They dominated Conference USA. They are pretty much dominating the Sun Belt, by far the best so-called mid-major league in the land.

If you live in Mississippi, you certainly know a thing or two about Armadillos.
They are most often found on the side of the road due to an unfortunate meeting with an automobile. They are not the most attractive animal, and unless you see beauty in strangeness, you would normally consider them to be ugly.
But there is more to the armadillo than meets the eye.

Loblolly pine trees comprise more than half of Dean Burchfield’s farm acreage in Pontotoc and Union counties in Mississippi, and he estimates at least half of that took on some degree of damage from the ice storms Jan. 23-27, 2026.
STARKVILLE – It is far too soon to put a dollar figure on the total damage to Mississippi’s forestland from the Jan. 23-27 winter storm, but agricultural damage assessment teams with state agencies are helping affected landowners estimate their financial losses and identify their next steps.
The Mississippi State University Extension Service has provided several of those teams, sending agents to make on-the-ground site visits to evaluate ice damage to non-industrial private forests in seven counties.

"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work; if one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! Also, if two lie down together they will keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
