Below is a political opinion column by Sid Salter:
Columnist Sid Salter says kitchen-table issues have historically impacted what appear to be “safe” races in the most unpredictable ways. The 2026 midterms may well prove to be one of those elections.
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.

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.”

Under the Senate proposals, teachers could receive a $2,000 pay increase and students would be allowed to transfer between public schools without their current district objecting.
On the first day of Mississippi’s 2026 legislative session, the Senate Education Committee kicked things off by sending three bills to the floor, each intended to strengthen the state’s K-12 public school system members said.

Keith Carter had a premium vantage point at the Sugar Bowl for arguably the biggest moment in Mississippi’s college football history, standing directly behind the goalposts as Lucas Carneiro’s 47-yard field goal split the uprights.

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.

DiBiase’s is the first case to go to trial in the scheme, which was first reported nearly six years ago.

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.

Get up off that couch and head out to discover something new!
It’s a new year, and with that comes all the promise and hope of great things to come. If you’ve made resolutions, hopefully one of them is to explore what our state has to offer. Exciting things are happening in our own backyard, so to speak, but we can only benefit from them if we make an effort to participate. There is music to be heard across the state, the celebration of a King, and more.
So, get up off that couch and head out to discover something new!
