Americans woke up on Saturday, January 3rd, to some very good news: Nicolas Maduro, an illegitimate dictator, would no longer be able to oppress the people of Venezuela or threaten the United States.
Under cover of darkness, American forces neutralized Venezuelan air defenses, stormed Maduro’s compound, and arrested the tyrant. These courageous service members brought Maduro to a Brooklyn jail, where he awaits trial for drug trafficking crimes.

So, get up off that couch and head out to discover something new!

As Mississippi approaches its pivotal 2026 mid-term elections, the national spotlight is already trained on our U.S. Senate race and potential kitchen-table issues in the state’s congressional districts.
Republicans have dominated Mississippi’s congressional politics at the federal level for over a decade. The GOP has held both of the state’s U.S. Senate seats and three of the state’s four U.S. House seats with relative ease.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Greetings from Arizona, where the old saying is that it’s so dry, you’d think the air is on a diet.
Seriously, this part of Arizona gets about 8-9 inches of rain annually and only about 30 days when there is any precipitation at all. The average January rainfall is less than an inch.
Well, guess what? Ole Miss plays Miami in the Fiesta Bowl Thursday night, and we may get that much rain – or more – that one day. Heavy thunderstorms are predicted.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Back in early December, when Ole Miss had just promoted Pete Golding to head coach, I received a text message from a friend, a prominent Rebel alum, fan and donor. No, I won’t name him because he did not intend the message for public consumption.
But trust me, 99% of readers would recognize the name.
My friend said he was “deeply troubled” by the hire. He called Golding “a scruffy-looking man with no head coaching experience who was let go as defensive coordinator by Nick Saban at Alabama.”

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Miami, which lost two games this season, both to unranked teams, goes into tonight’s Fiesta Bowl as a 3.5-point favorite over Ole Miss, which lost only once to then-No. 9 Georgia when the Rebels led by nine points in the fourth quarter.
Ole Miss avenged that loss a week ago in the Sugar Bowl.
Frankly, I thought the Fiesta Bowl betting line would be the other way around with the Rebels a slight favorite over the Hurricanes.

Some might say that “Mississippi” and “eating healthy” don’t belong in the same sentence. After all, Mississippi has the fourth-highest obesity rate in the nation after West Virginia, Oklahoma, and Louisiana. We are third in the number of people with type 2 diabetes. And sadly, heart disease deaths in Mississippi are among the highest in the United States.
But times are changing. People are becoming more educated about their health, and there are more resources and initiatives to promote healthy eating in our state.
